Christie Widiarto, the 2013 Talking Difference fellow, is a Melbourne based new media artist and animator, who explores themes of nature, cultural identity and family. In 2005, she graduated from the Victorian College of Arts, Melbourne University, with a Graduate Diploma in Film and Television (Animation) and returned to complete her Masters in 2010.
Her two films, "Wayang" and "Chasing Planes", have allowed her to reconnect with her birthplace, Indonesia, utilising Indonesian shadow puppets, and both having a blend of English and Bahasa Indonesian dialogue. They have screened at International Festivals such as "San Francisco Children's Film Festival", Poland's "Animacja Animation Festival" and Brazil's "Curta Cinema Film Festival".
Christie's new media work was also including in a program for Femlink International Women's Video Art 2012, a collaborative media art project for the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival 2011 and the NGV's Harrell Fletcher Collaborative Art Action workshop 2011.
She is also the co-founder of Austhetic, an organisation created to promote and exhibit the work of other local Melbourne media artists. Austhetic received a 2013 City of Melbourne arts grant for its project, "Austhetic by Night" held at Federation Square in February 2013.
Christie has recently completed her placement with Talking Difference. During that time Christie ran workshops in a number of Victorian Schools. Part of Christie's outcome was a public display of her work with students at Federation Square on the big screen. This was followed by a conversation at the "Testing Ground" where young people were asked about Identity, multiculturalism and racism. L-Fresh The Lion, Abe Nouk and Sarah Firth all joined the conversation.

Hey All, I have dusted off my old molds, and am just seeing if there is any interest in my "budget" vacuform armor anymore.
All armor is vacuformed from .060 styrene for a balance between detail, durability, and affordability. I have also improved my vac forming setup so the pulls will be even better than before.
All armor comes unassembled and rough trimmed (meaning there will be flashing to remove). Armor shown here has been trimmed (and knees and gauntlets assembled) to show what the final product will look like.
Any dents or damage can be added easily by applying heat to the backside of the armor, and pressing objects into the top side.

Beauty Challenge: Skincare IQ
Have you tried Skincare IQ yet? It's a nifty little in-store gizmo (that's a technical term), that asks you to enter in your skincare concerns, and then pops out customized product recommendations. I've tried it, and I think you should too.
But because I know that everyone isn't lucky enough to live near a Sephora (my heart aches for you, it really does), and BeautyTalk is an online community, for this week's Beauty Challenge I thought it'd be fun to do a little crowdsourcing. We're all friends here; let's help each other out.
So sound off: What's your skincare concern, and what product(s) do you use to fight it? Show & Tell!
For the record, my skincare drama is super oily skin and small but super annoying acne flareups. For which I use my trusty Origins Super Spot Remover to beat back the breakouts!
Want more skincare recommendations? Try Skincare IQ online> http://seph.me/12Bn9eJ
Or shop by skincare concern> http://seph.me/13eoNma
For post acne marks I rely on my super handy dandy dependable Ole Truth Serum! I love how rather than relying on ingredients that can risk sensitizing skin, it uses vitamin C to boost clarity, even tone, luminosity, and help aid in collagen production! It's what I use on the slight smile lines I have. No major wrinkle or line concern, but I suppose it's a good thing if I have them, that means I must be happy and smiling about something, right? Haha! The sodium hyaluronate helps to plump up lines too since it binds healthy moisture to skin and we all know dehydrated skin will only make whatever issue worse!
Ole Truth Serum has changed my life - true story. I HOARD THAT STUFF. Have you tried the new oil yet?
My biggest war (as I am nearing the big 4-0) was with some serious redness and flaking on my cheeks that had gotten so bad I honestly thought I had developed rosacea or something. After trying many many many creams and serums I got the best and most lasting immediate results from SK-II Essential Power Cream. I now use 5 SK-II products weekly. My skin tone is fairly light (and I think the SK-II products might have a whitening effect as well) so I then started concentrating on some old blemish spots that I noticed were hanging around. Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Bright Skin Tone Correcting Serum did a great job helping those to fade away to almost nothing, and I have not had any issues since using this product with new dark spots at all. My current battle is this little loose skin directly under the inner part of my eyes... I guess those would be bags? At the moment I am using NUDE ProGenius Treatment Oil to help conceal them... I don't know how but the tiniest amount off this oil instantly puffs my under eye skin smooth within seconds. I put it right on top of my makeup and it usually lasts around 6 hours before I feel the need to reapply. There are a lot of REALLY amazing products available these days
@Yuumei that is a really cool use for the ProGenius Oil!
I may be a little weird in that my biggest concern is pores, but I don't actually use anything to "treat" them (I need to exfoliate more, that helps of course). My friend makes a cleanser that doesn't strip my skin (before this I could only use cleansing oils...I'm not dry or sensitive but most creamy cleansers would strip my skin...probably because I don't exfoliate enough). I use an oil (also from my friend's line) that keeps my skin balanced, and PTR CC to promote evenness/ provide coverage and a healthy glow. I wouldn't even say uneven skintone is really a concern for me, but the CC (and the the oil) prevent uneven skintone from happening.
I talk a lot about Perricone's Metabolic Formula because internal skincare is truly my biggest beauty secret (including healthy diet, yoga, acupuncture...having a fruit smoothie w/ coconut oil and spirulina right now). Whatever I put on my skin couldn't really make a huge difference if my skin wasn't being made (you are what you eat) from healthy stuff! I don't mean to sound full of myself about it, but I really love getting compliments on my skin. One of my colleagues notices that I even drink a fair amount of coffee (every day, sometimes more than one drink) and it doesn't end up having a negative effect on my skin...so those supplements are worth every penny!
And of course I've used skincare iq...have used it/ tested it for quite a long time, glad it finally launched on the site and in all stores!
@Yuumei - seriously a great use for ProGenius oil, I didn't even think about that.
@lylysa - Yeah, it keeps going in and out of my basket.
@makeupmaven - I've been thinking about taking more skincare related supplements besides just my daily vitamins...I'm going to look into that.
@ Candace! Tell me about it! I'm such a die-hard Truth serum fan a part of me goes "don't mess with a good thing", but on the other hand, I do like Ole's products so the risk of me NOT liking it is slim.
@candacebt I'm totally hooked on them!
ok, now all we need is to find the best lipstick colors for our specific skintone!

Industrial Ventilation
Industrial ventilation is a method of controlling worker exposure to airborne toxic chemicals or flammable vapors by exhausting contaminated air away from the work area and replacing it with clean air. It is one alternative to control employee exposure to air contaminants in the workplace.
Other alternatives include process changes, work practice changes, substitution with less toxic chemicals, or elimination of the use of toxic chemicals.
Industrial ventilation is typically used to remove welding fumes, solvent vapors, oil mists or dusts from a work location and exhaust these contaminants outdoors.
The design and troubleshooting of industrial ventilation systems should be handled by a qualified ventilation engineer or firms specializing in this field. However, a basic knowledge of how exhaust ventilation systems work and some basic troubleshooting tips is included in this guideline.
Regulatory information
When workers are exposed to amounts of chemicals in the air that are hazardous (such as in excess of permissible exposure limits), WISHA requires that employers take steps to reduce their exposure. WISHA regulations specifically address ventilation in such operations as spray painting, abrasive blasting, welding, use of dip tanks, and work in confined spaces.
The following WISHA standards have industrial ventilation components:
Chapter 296-62 - General Occupational Health Standards
- WAC 296-62-110 - Ventilation (5.13 MB PDF).
- WAC 296-62-07713 - Methods of Compliance for Asbestos Activities (5.13 MB PDF).
Chapter 296-24 - General Safety & Health Standards
- WAC 296-24-37003 - Spray Booths (4.76 MB PDF).
- WAC 296-24-715 - Health Protection and ventilation in welding (4.76 MB PDF).
Chapter 296-155 - Construction
Chapter 296-841, WAC Airborne Contaminants
WAC 296-809-600 - Confined Spaces (519 KB PDF)
Chapter 296-818, WAC - Abrasive Blasting
Chapter 296-835, WAC - Dip Tanks
Control of worker exposure by ventilation or other means is required by WISHA occupational health regulations under the following three conditions:
- When levels of airborne contaminants (chemicals, dusts, vapors, fumes) are hazardous, such as above their permissible exposure limits,
- When the lower explosive limit of flammable vapors is exceeded,
- When the oxygen level drops below 19.5 % in the air.
WISHA regulations also require that exposure controls, such as ventilation must be implemented before resorting to the use of respirators. Respirators may be used to control worker exposure only when other exposure controls such as ventilation are not feasible or when they do not lower the air contaminant levels below their permissible exposure limits or in emergency situations. Forced air (mechanical) ventilation is always required when workers enter confined spaces where there is a potential for exposure to toxic and, flammable vapors or dust or oxygen deficiency."
Types and components of ventilation systems
There are 3 types of workplace ventilation:
- "Indoor air quality ventilation" used primarily to provide fresh, heated or cooled air to buildings as part of the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning system,
- "Dilution ventilation" which dilutes contaminated air in a whole building or room by blowing in clean air and exhausting some dirty air,
- "Local exhaust ventilation" which captures contaminate emissions at or very near the source and exhausts them outside.
Indoor air quality ventilation, used primarily in offices and other non-industrial buildings, will not be covered in this guideline.
There are advantages and disadvantages to the use of either dilution ventilation or local exhaust ventilation in terms of costs and effectiveness. Table 1 compares the two types.
Table 1
Usually lower equipment and installation costs.
Does not completely remove contaminants.
Captures contaminant at source and removes it from the workplace.
Higher cost for design, installation and equipment.
Requires less maintenance.
Cannot be used for highly toxic chemicals.
Only choice for highly toxic airborne chemicals.
Requires regular cleaning, inspection and maintenance.
Effective control for small amounts of low toxicity chemicals.
Ineffective for dusts or metal fumes or large amounts of gases or vapors.
Can handle all sorts of contaminants including dusts and metal fumes.
Effective control for flammable or combustible gases or vapors.
Requires large amounts of heated or cooled makeup air.
Requires smaller amount of makeup air since smaller amounts of air are being exhausted.
Best ventilation for small dispersed contaminant sources or mobile sources.
Ineffective for handling surges of gases or vapors or irregular emissions.
Less energy costs since less makeup air to heat or cool.
Dilution ventilation
Dilution ventilation is usually accomplished with the use of large exhaust fans in the walls or roof of a building or room. Opening doors or windows can be used as dilution ventilation, but this is not always a reliable method since air movement is not controlled. Cooling fans (floor fans) are also sometimes used as a method of ventilation, but these fans usually just blow the contaminant around the work area without effectively controlling it.
Dilution ventilation can be more effective if the exhaust fan is located close to exposed workers and the makeup air is located behind the worker so that contaminated air is drawn away from the worker's breathing zone. See Figure 1 for examples of best locations for exhaust fans and air inlets.
In cases where the source of contamination is widely scattered or is from a mobile source, like carbon monoxide from a forklift, large wall or roof exhaust fans can be effective. Makeup air to replace the air exhausted is necessary for the best control. Simple openings in walls or doors can be sources of makeup air, or a second fan can draw makeup air into the building or room. However, makeup air may require heating in the winter resulting in increased heating bills.
Local exhaust ventilation
Local exhaust ventilation is needed when employees are exposed to high toxicity chemicals, when large amounts of dusts or welding fumes are generated, or when increased heating costs from ventilation in cold weather are a concern.
Local exhaust ventilation operates on the principle that air moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. The difference in low pressure is created by a fan that draws or sucks air through the ventilation system. Local exhaust systems are located as close as possible to the source of contamination to capture the contaminate before it is released into the work area. A local exhaust system operates in the same manner as a household vacuum cleaner.
A local exhaust system has 5 basic elements:
- A "hood" or opening that captures the contaminant at the source,
- Ducts that transport the airborne chemicals through the system,
- An air cleaning device (not always required) that removes the contaminant from the moving air in the system,
- A fan that moves the air through the system and discharges (blows) it outdoors,
- An exhaust stack through which the contaminated air is discharged.
As with dilution ventilation, makeup air must be provided to replace the air exhausted in order for the system to operate properly.
Figure 2 illustrates the basic parts of a local exhaust system.
A hood is designed to confine or capture the contaminant at its source. The air velocity at the hood opening and inside the hood must be sufficient to capture and carry the air contaminants. The hood should enclose the source of contaminant as much as possible or be placed as close to the source as possible. Examples of different types of hoods are illustrated in Figure 3.
Air velocity in local exhaust systems is measured in feet per minute (fpm). Volume of air though a local exhaust system is measured in cubic feet per minute (cfm) which is simply the air velocity times the area of the hood opening. Sometimes air velocity is measured indirectly by measuring air pressure in the ductwork of the system. The pressure inside a local exhaust system is slightly negative compared to the pressure outside the system and is measured in units called "inches of water". This negative pressure varies through the system and is usually measured to determine how well the system is functioning.
Although enclosing hoods provide the best control, they are often not feasible because they would interfere with the work being done by the employee. In those cases, a capture exhaust hood can only be located near the source of the contaminant. These type of hoods "reach out" to capture the contaminant much like a vacuum cleaner sucking dirt off a floor. However, the distance between the face of the hood and source must be short to effectively capture the contaminant. A hood moved from two inches away from a source to four inches away from a source will require four times the amount of air volume through the system to provide the same degree of capture. Adding a flange to the edges of the capturing hood provides more efficient capture of contaminants. See Figure 4. Wide and flat hoods or hoods with slots do not have a greater "reach", rather they just spread out the airflow over a wide distance. Their most common use is along the edge of tanks containing volatile chemicals.
Canopy hoods are not recommended for use in local exhaust ventilation because even slight cross-drafts can push contaminants out into the work area and because they often draw air through the breathing zone of an employee working at them. Figure 5 illustrates some additional problems with canopy hoods.
Ducts and ducting
Ducts carry the airborne contaminant through the local exhaust system. To do this effectively, there should be as little resistance in the form of turbulence or friction as possible. Air moving too slow through the system will cause settling out of dusts and eventual clogging of the duct. Air moving too fast is wasteful of power, can create noise problems and may cause excessive abrasion if dusts are being exhausted. Smooth, round ducts are recommended for local exhaust systems. Dust can get trapped in the corners of square ducts, and air turbulence is higher inside them, reducing air velocity. Even though flexible ducting is sometimes necessary in some situations, it has a rougher surface than smooth ducting resulting in more friction and reduced air velocity.
Sharp bends or tees should be avoided in ducts as well as abrupt changes in diameter. Also, smaller diameter duct will have greater friction than larger diameter ductwork. Ducting should be straight at least two duct diameters before entering the fan to maintain smooth airflow into the fan. Duct connections must also be as tight as possible to prevent a reduction in air velocity at the hood because of leaks at joints. Figure 6 illustrates some basic duct design principles.
Air cleaners
Air cleaning devices on ventilation systems are sometimes necessary to capture large amounts of dust. In some instances, they may be required by air pollution regulations. The type of air cleaner depends on the type of contaminant being removed, its concentration in the air, the amount of contaminant that must be removed, and other factors. Dust filters are the most common type of air cleaners found in industry. Other types of air cleaners remove gases and vapors. Local air pollution regulations dictate the type of air cleaner required. The cost and extra resistance that these air cleaners add to an exhaust ventilation system must be considered in the design. For more information on air pollution regulations and requirements, contact the local air pollution control authority (www.ecy.wa.gov) for your locality.
Fans are the workhorses of exhaust ventilation systems. They must be the appropriate size and type to make the ventilation system work effectively. They must provide enough air pressure difference ("suction") to capture contaminants at the source, draw them through the hood, carry them through the ducting and exhaust them outdoors.
There are two main types of exhaust fans - axial fans and centrifugal fans. Axial fans, usually resembling propellers, draw air straight through the fan. Centrifugal fans, resembling squirrel cages, draw air into the center of the fan and exhaust it at a 90-degree angle. Figure 7 illustrates the different types of fans.
Axial or propeller fans are most commonly used for dilution ventilation or for cooling. These fans are often mounted in a wall or ceiling. They can move large amounts of air if there is little resistance, but are not suited for local exhaust ventilation because they do not provide enough suction to draw air through the system.
Centrifugal fans can operate at against a high resistance and are typically used in local exhaust ventilation systems. There are several types of centrifugal fans. The rugged radial blade centrifugal fans are the best type for exhausting heavy amounts of dust because they are less likely to become clogged or abraded by the dust.
Selection of the proper fan can be a complicated task and should be handled by ventilation or fan experts. For additional information on exhaust ventilation fans, see the latest edition of Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practices published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) (www.acgih.org).
Exhaust stacks
Exhaust stacks also need to be designed and located properly for the most efficient operation of a local exhaust system. A common mistake is to locate them too close to building fresh air intakes. Generally they should be located no closer than 50 feet to prevent re-circulation of contaminants. Stacks work best when they are tall, usually at least 10 feet above the roof line. Air velocity out of the stack should be at least 3000 feet per minute to overcome the effects of downdrafts from wind blowing over the building. Rain caps on stacks should be avoided because they tend to force contaminants back down to the building where they can be pulled into the fresh air intakes. They are also not very effective in keeping rain out of the stack. See Figure 8 for an example of a well-designed stack.
If an existing ventilation system appears to not be functioning properly, the following simple checks can be made without extensive measurements or expert help:
- Is the fan belt broken or slipping?
- Is the fan wired backward (reversed polarity)?
- Is ductwork clogged with dust?
- Is there holes, cracks or openings in the ducting?
- Is the air cleaner clogged?
- Are any dampers in the ductwork closed?
- Is there insufficient makeup air?
- Has ductwork been changed to include more length, more or sharper bends, or abrupt diameter changes?
- Have additional hoods and ductwork been added? Without proper airflow balancing, some hoods in a multiple system may have inadequate flow. Or the fan may be too small to handle the additional resistance.
- Has the contaminant source been moved further away from the hood opening?
- Is more contaminant being generated at the source?
- Are cooling fans causing crossdrafts?
- Have employees modified the hood because it interferes with their job tasks?
Many of these problems can be avoided by periodic maintenance and measurements of air velocities or air pressures of ventilation systems. Airflow at the hood can be visually checked with inexpensive smoke generators (smoke tubes) or measured with air velometers. WISHA industrial hygiene consultants can do limited ventilation investigations. Ventilation specialists may be needed to remedy or redesign more complicated ventilation problems.

Greetings to all! I've only just joined, so I hope you don't mind that my first post is a request like this.
I'm teaching English at a Medical College in China. I'm currently trying to build up a small collection of articles which I can use for reading practise and to stimulate discussion.
I've recently been discussing Galileo and Darwin with many students and I'd like to find a really good article (or two) which basically gives an interesting view of the topic without using language which is too challenging or technical. I'd also like it if the article came down on the side of science rather than religion.
Can anyone help out? A link to a website or two would be nice also.

These look pretty cool
I have had no problems with dust cover aperture sights holding zero.
That is how I made my first AKM aperature sight.
The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.
― Jeff Cooper
Yes, dust cover mounts are not for heavy optics. One of the small red dots like a Burris Fastfire might work but have not tried one myself.

Local handicrafts and artisanal items to pick up on your trip
Arts and Crafts
Korean fine art includes traditional ink paintings and watercolors; popular subjects include bamboo leaves, forested mountains, tigers, and magpies. Calligraphy scrolls, done either in Chinese or hangeul (the Korean alphabet) are popular wall hangings. Arguably Korea's most prestigious art form, however, is celadon, or glazed pottery. Small pieces, such as tea sets, can cost less than $50; fine vases, pots, or liquor flasks by master craftsmen can be priced at more than $10,000. Colored paper lanterns, large paper fans decorated with watercolor or ink paintings, wooden masks used in tal cheum (mask dance), and bright silk cushions are all affordable souvenirs, suitable for home decoration. All the above can be found in the souvenir shops, stalls, art galleries, and studios of Insadong.
Custom-Tailored Clothing
Everyone from Luciano Pavarotti to Steven Seagal seems to have had a custom suit from an Itaewon tailor's shop. Prices start at around $400. Also, modern cotton hanbok (Korean traditional clothing) is becoming increasingly popular. Loose and baggy (think Buddhist, priestly robes), they are comfortable round-the-house casual attire. Off-the-shelf hanbok can be bought in Insadon.
Dried Seaweed
Bought in cheap packs of various sizes, dried seaweed makes an excellent beer snack. This—along with such oddities as red pepper chocolates—is easily found in the tourist grocery shops in Namdaemun market.
Ginseng is another famed Korean export, ranging in price from a few dollars to thousands. Namdaemun has ginseng shops, where the fleshy root can be bought in jars, in tea form, in pill form, and even in gum.
Traditional Foods
Kimchi, or spiced, pickled vegetables (there are hundreds of varieties) is Korea's most famous dish. Buy it from the shops in Incheon International Airport so the container will be sealed properly for travel. Also look for pots of salty red pepper paste or fermented bean paste, excellent additions to soups or as vegetable dips.

About Me
I have been in the writing business for years. I have handled many beats and responsibilities. I have written everything from articles, to screenplays, to custom essays, to straight news when I was in UK. Now that I am back in the US where I belong. I intend to pursue another writing career that has always been a frustration of mine, arts. Frustration because I feel that I lack the creativity and the patience to draw, much less do it digitally. So I guess I'll just concentrate on writing.

Thompson returns from a business trip early to find the house empty except for Tony Piagi. It's been a hard week and Thompson needs some release so they hit the bedroom so Piagi can blow him. The action turns to fucking just as Anthony Wagner bounces up the stairs to use the bathroom. Thinking they are home alone, Piagi and Thompson go at it with wild abandon and Wagner is front row center. Thompson rolls Piagi into a ball and fucks him extra deep and Wagner can't resist reaching into his own jeans to give his cock a tug. He realizes he's gonna have to rub this one out so he ducks into a nearby bedroom to jack off while looking at himself in a mirror. It doesn't take long before he pops all over himself. Back in the other bedroom we catch Tompson and Piagi as they explode all over each other.

The original branch of Rosa's (there are now three more) is located on a thoroughfare between Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market. It plays host to a vibrant young crowd of visiting tourists and local hipsters – you may even spot the odd pooch in a handbag. The dining room is clean and contemporary, with white-tiled walls, bevelled wood panelling and red stools at each of the small tables.
The usual Thai repertoire is executed well: hot and sour tom yam soup was rich with lemongrass, tangy tomato and a generous amount of seafood. Of the recommended dishes, stir-fried slices of European aubergine were coated in a sweet, salty soya and yellow bean sauce, and laced with plenty of ginger and black pepper. In contrast, a salad of chargrilled beef strips in chilli dressing was lacklustre, with celery the prominent flavour.
Rosa's also does a roaring trade in takeaway coffee, made with Monmouth beans in a swish La Marzocco espresso machine. Service is mostly quick and efficient, but the coffee trade can hold it up on occasion. Drinks include Thai beer and whiskey, plus a handful of wines and east Asian teas.

I ate at this restaurant last night with my husband when we were staying in Liverpool Street. I find it a shame when people write reviews because they have had a bad experience and people say they are questionable because they had a different experience. The whole point of reviews is to get the average experience, so Daryl, you can take it from my that this review is genuine (also see my reviews on Tripadvisor (wiseonelondon) I review often and I review fairly and me experience reflects the negative reviews on here. - So, to the restaurant: I will not dispute that the food is good, in some cases, very good (soup, glass noodles). - However, it is still very expensive. This aside, I will never be visiting this restaurant again due abominable service. I cannot believe that this level of service still exists with the rising competition in London, especially where there is a lot of competition. Basically we arrived at 10pm - the place closes at 10:30pm, If the guy had said it was too late, we would have said no problem, but he grudgingly seated us and despite his rudeness (he was really quite rude and unwelcoming) we sat as I am pregnant and was starting to feel sick from hunger. First we were told we had to sit on a cramped table under the coats, we asked if we could sit one table along (identical table, just more space) waiter gave us a look like we had killed his mother. - I asked whether the beef in the thai salad was rare (due to being pregnant) - reaction was like we had then also killed his grandmother. We orders, he bought tea (very hot tea) which he then spilled on my husband. Accidents happen and we'd normally laugh it off if it were not for the fact that he wasn't remotely sorry, didn't offer to replace the tea and charged us for it. - we were made to feel like we should leave as soon as we were served. At the end a few quid were added to the bill for service (for a bill of 60 quid - with no alcohol!). I said politely, 'I'm sorry but I don't want to pay the service' - waiter's response - fine, I'll charge for the take-away boxes then (which we only asked for as we felt we were being pushed out of the restaurant. I don't think I have been that irritated by anyone for quite some time (and he is brave, or stupid as it is thoroughly unwise to piss off a tired pregnant woman!) - The saving grace was that the other guy working gave us the boxes, apologised and seemed to scold the other guy with issues, but by then it our mean out in London was kind or ruined. I really hope they sort out the service so that the quality of food can shine through.
This place is great. There is also a second floor (so don't just think it's a tiny cubicle-esque restaurant). The food is extremely flavour-FULL, but if you don't like spice stay away: everything contains spice to some degree. The only main issue I had, was picking some food, there isn't an enormous selection of foods to choose from, but everything sounds amazing. Asking for a comprehensive description of ingredients or what a particular food is, isn't the best idea as you won't get very far. However, it is a very pretty place. I benefited from ordering "what the guy next to me had". (http://thriftlogic.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/consommateurs.html)
Extremely rude staff esp. the manager, terrible service. Avoid.
excellent food, excellent service. went for lunch and had a red curry which was just delicious. I also had a thai style ice tea which I can highly recommend, it tastes just great. I can't complain I did find it really good. For sure one of the very best restaurants in the area.
I love this place - Rosas Thai. My brother and I visited the Soho branch last week, I had the Black Pepper Venison curry which melted in my mouth while he had Prawn Pad Thai - the ultimate of Thai dishes! Washed down with a bottle of of wine, it was the perfect antidote to the horrid cold weather. Service with a smile, and a big warm welcome. Thank you for looking after us so well, you will be seeing us again for sure!
I really like Rosa's and have visited both the Soho and Spitalfields restaurants. I've always found the staff to be friendly and the service very good. The food is great, there are some really interesting dishes on the menu and the portions are generous. It's great value and I'd definitely recommend it.
I am never disappointed by the food I actually think that the spicy soup and the pad thai are the best I ever had. But today we tried one more time (and the last time) the delivery service, which shows exactly what you also experience in the restaurant - a really poor service. The first time when we ordered online (using hungryhouse) the food came 2.5 hours late (!!!!) and they did not feel sorry about it at all and of course it was cold by then. The second time they declined the order after 1.5 hours, of course we were already waiting for the delivery and were highly disappointed that we waisted 1.5 hours waiting. Today they declined the order again after 1 hour. Seriously if Rosa is not able to deliver, they should stop doing it. It is really a shame that they cannot manage to offer at least a normal service as the food is, as I said, very good. I am quite sure that I never heard in the restaurant a "hi" , "good bye" or "how was your meal" and also no FRIENDLY "are you ready to order" - is it so difficult?
Terrible service. It's these type of people that make me believe that customer service is dead. Not to mention that the bill came to £44 each!?!?!?!?! The food was not AMAZING. It was OK. The Satay sauce was cold and the portion was only enough for one satay. I was forced to pay £2 extra to receive 2 more tiny portions of sauce. Will never go here again. Highly annoyed that I wasted a weeks shopping money on a mediocre meal and awful service.
Tried Rosa's twice and was bitterly disappointed with the meal. It was incredibly expensive and poorly cooked. As a huge Thai food fan I was really let down by their cuisine which promised much and delivered little.
A lot of the negative reviews on here are highly dubious, the style of writing is very similar, for example there is one review that mentions "patchy" service and then another one following it uses the word "patchy", and loads of other example besides, the tenor of the complaints is identical in several cases, as well as the focus on this supposed bad service and not much mention of the food. I have visited Rosa's many times, always enjoyed the food which is delicious and comes in very generous portion sizes for the price, and also have always found the service to be friendly, quick and accomodating. Seems obvious to me some unscrupulous competitors are posting phony reviews to try and hurt the business which to me is a testament to how high quality and popular Rosa's is. Ignore the bad reviews and give it a try yourself
My friend and I visited Rosa's Hanbury Street, it is an undervalued to express that I was disappointed, although the food was served quite quickly when it came, it was a poor quality in comparison to the other single Thai restaurant where the food and service is much better The staff is so bad, she chew something and working at the same time, it was understandard. Overall it wasn't a good dining experience and will not be dining there again. DON'T TRY TO GO.
Do not order takeaway from Spitalfields. Our delivery took 1hr 15mins, was stodgy, cold and really expensive! Very disappointed. The rice was congealed, the meat was very over cooked and the summer rolls were chewy.
This Thai spot is a GEM! We happily ventured in on a whim and experienced an exceptional meal in a lively setting. We cannot get back there soon enough!
I visited Rosa's a few days ago, and it was really not as bad as many of the reviews say. The food was good, and I enjoyed the famous Pad Thai dish. The service was standard but, I think that Rosa's has tough competition, who are willing to go as far as making up horrible rumours about the restaurant to get others to avoid it. But all in all I don't think Rosa's has lost its spark and I would still recommend it to my friends.
Just love to eat there all the time.
The service is an absolute joke. I was excited to come to the location at Spitalfields as I've had the food at the location at Westfield Stratford and really enjoyed it several times. I would never recommend this place regardless of the tasty food as the service was purely nonexistent and that service that did exist was incredibly rude and subpar. When we first arrived we told them that we wanted a table for two and they sat us in the same table with a table of 4 other diners. We asked if we could sit at an open table they had with 3 place settings and they rudely said that wouldn't be okay. That aside, we asked to order and when we asked for water they poured the glasses with a look of annoyance. When I asked for soya sauce they brought it with a look of annoyance.. etc. etc. Sorry to "inconvenience" you, lady.. but you do in fact WORK here. Once we ate and asked for the check we told the waitress that we wanted to pay with a card. She cut my friend off mid-sentence while asking for the card machine to say that they needed the table for a new group... as if we weren't already asking to pay and leave shortly thereafter! What a joke. There are plenty of better restaurants to get a good meal in East London. Forget Rosa's.
I went to Rosa's yesterday and I must say I was most disappointed. As soon as we were seated, the waitress informed us that we had 1.5 hours because after that they needed the table for someone else. The table service was too quick- as soon as we sat down they asked us what we wanted to drink- without actually having looked at the menu. Then the main arrived 10 minutes apart, before the starter. The spring rolls as a starter were good, but the plate was whipped away before I'd finished. The Red Thai curry was nice, but the papaya salad was really below par- there wasn't actually any papaya in it, and the prawns were tiny- they were clearly dried. After an hour, before we'd finished our food, another group entered and the waitress asked us to hurry up so that they could have our table. Very bad service. The dinner was only saved by my delightful, hilarious friend. I wouldn't go back there and would discourage others from doing so.
I have been eating at Rosa's in Spitalfields for nearly 3 years and the standards have dropped drastically, and the prices are way higher than before. I went there just yesterday, and being a Sat, I booked on the phone. They were really rude with me like they do not like bookings and commented twice that we just had 1.5h to eat. When arrived there, we noticed the restaurant was not that full as usual. We needed to wait 15 mins for one of our friends to join us, so they were checking on us every 2 mins asking us to order. And reminding us that they needed our table by 9. Finally we had the staters (the forgot to bring us the plates, I had to ask for them!) and the main. The thai green curry I had was not bad but was average compared to the food they were serving just last year. Then the rudest waitress came and showed us the bill (without us asking for it) telling us we have been warned we needed to leave the table by 8:30. We obviously complained we had been promised the table until 9 and that we wanted a sweet rice pudding, so she left saying no puddings are served on winter and she would have checked the times with her manager. She never came back, so that we had to ask for the bill 10 mins later. A high one, £125 for 6 mains and 5 starters and 7 drinks! Like the other comments I read, it's like they are doing us a favour serving the food. And the service charge is now included in the bill so you cannot do much. It's a real shame, Rosa's used to be so good, but they really changed since they opened the new branch in Sono.
I went there with some friends las night and just like the person who wrote the previous comment, we were told that we only had 1.5h to have our dinner which really put me off (even in fine dining restaurantes the turnaround is 2h))). The waitress was very rude and acted like she was making us a big favour just being there. Once the mains arrived the question "are you done?" was popping every 5 minutes. Instead of relaxing and ejoying the food, which wasn't bad, we felt like some school kids at the head teacher's office. I haven't had such a bad experience in a very long time and definitely won't go back.
Terrible service. I went to Rosas last week and had the most unhospitable welcoming in my life - as we sat down, not even a hello - they told us right away we only had one hour and a half to eat. The rest of the meal we were rushed throughout - very patchy service. Do not go there- service is severely flawed.
I have to say I am now (after about the 3rd week of coming once a week) a regular at this certain Thai , not just because of the fact i live near but because though to an astonishment on my behalf, towards some of the comments below me, it actually is very good. I always try to vary the dishes i order , some i must say are the same thing I've tasted elsewhere; nothing special but that doesn't dwindle from the fact its a safe bet when your craving some thai food. The thing is i have to say is that the penaeng curry is outstanding, plus the green curry made traditional unlike most restaurants (In answer to the comment below the green curry on the menu state they make it traditionally and not thickened up with corn syrup) the starter are all superb especially the tom kha soup, the curries are great , the rice is well….Rice and the char grilled selection is absolutely fantastic from what i have tried; I still have a lot to go. The safe bet for most of us is the pad thai which has now officially given me cravings close to the point where i believe they have copied cokes original way of hooking customers by adding …well coke to coca cola…maybe there is a thai drug called pad? On a final note most of the dishes i have ordered (alot) are very good some are average and some blow my head of its so spicy and thats why i have given 4 stars. The service was polite and kind which makes my experience a lot more satisfactory ontop of the great food. To conclude this restaurant is unique in the fact that it doesn't go onto the 'Western' Thai food restaurants you usually get , but is in-between the traditional thai ( having lived there myself for 5 years) and 'Western' thai, i guess why its a fusional modern thai restaurant that I love.

Arsène Wenger has no qualms about shouldering Sebastien Squillaci with extra responsibility during the title run-in.
The French centre back is expected to renew his partnership with compatriot Laurent Koscielny at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday after Johan Djourou was ruled out for a minimum of six weeks with a dislocated shoulder.
Squillaci signed from Sevilla last summer and, like any new recruit, has taken time to find his feet in English football. But Wenger trusts the 30-year-old to produce the goods.
"I think he had a good start to the season, after that he had a little dip in December," said Wenger.
"But the recent games he played, like Stoke, he did well, so I do not especially worry about that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Re: New in Narragansett Bay
sailed out Plymouth,MA ( America's home Town) for close to 30 yrs. Pleasure is channel very well marked and you can SAIL out ( don't need to power once past the breakwater). Respect Bug light ( rocks behind it) Stay to port side on channel from there ( Brown's Bank on the right). Wait until you get to the last red before turning to starboard to miss any shoals. Watch out for Marianne's rocks about 1/2 way down to canal. Keep them far to starboard. Get standing waves right by Mass Maritime and just past on occasion but only briefly so don't get scared. Easy place to pull in is Marion ( kept my boat there last two years) and when timing the canal a reasonable day's sail from Plymouth on a boat your size. Don't tow your dinghy if you can. You will lose about a kt. making for a much longer trip. Think about getting a personal beacon which will be helpful later on or an EPRIB. Have good foulies and combo pdf/harness. You'll be fine. This year will be in Barrington. So maybe we will see each other. Welcome to sailnet. Reachout by PM if any questions

Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Welcome! Has the YC been rebuilt? I belonged there as a teen and was sick when it burned. If you run into Jeff Lamphear give him my regards.
Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Welcome marktun and JIvories!
The trip from Plymouth to Providence should be a good shake-down cruise, and it could be done in a (long) day. However, IMHO, you would be better served to do it in two.
Getting out of Plymouth will likely take more than an hour. It is a long slog to G "1" Q G BELL, which is where you will finally be out of Plymouth Bay. Be careful, and stay in as there is always shoaling outside the channel. From there it is a short hop to the Sandwich entrance to the canal. If the tide is with you, go through. If not, spend some time at the Sandwich Marina, waiting for the tide to change, and making adjustments to the boat. If needed, you can get repairs here too. If you spend the night, in Scituate, get up, and head through the canal EARLY. If you go straight through the canal, plan to stay overnight at Onset, or Red Brook Harbor.
My advise is that you NOT attempt to transit Buzzards Bay with a new to you boat in the afternoon. Also, be sure that your motor is working well, because you will likely want it to help here. The wind in Buzzards Bay usually kicks up large swell in the afternoon. If there is a steady breeze from the southwest (and there usually is), you could easily be heading through at 10' swells, and will be doing the "Buzzards Bay Bash." It makes for a long and uncomfortable day. Fortunately, there are lots of places to bail out if conditions get fugly.
I suggest that you forget about Westport, as it is at least an hour to get in, and another hour to get back out. Gooseberry neck (and Hen and Chickens) will seem to take an eternity to pass. Also, unless the sailing is great, I would skip Newport, and head up the Sakonnet River. Once you get past Sakonnet point, the river is wide, and you can usually sail either a beam reach, or a run right up the river.
I keep my boat in Barrington, just a little further down the Providence river than Providence. I could care less that Block Island, and Cutty Hunk are a full day away, Narragansett Bay, the East Passage and West Passage, and Mount Hope Bay are great for sailing when the conditions suck in Block Island Sound.
PM me if you would like more info. or assistance.
Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Greetings all!
Like Jivories, my wife and I bought our first boat ever in Nov. 2012, a 2005 Hunter 41DS which we keep in Barrington. We've taken some ASA classes for education since first getting out on the water in 2006 (I know....newbies.), enjoyed vacation charters in the BVI, SVI, Penobscot Bay & Acadia, Maine, and of course the Vineyard.
Like many, the last few years were also spent learning local waters on a friend's Hunter 376. We are in the midst of researching and visiting local yacht clubs to see which might be the best fit for us in terms of location and culture.
Having said all that...we can't wait to get out there!! Looking forward to hearing from others...
Best wishes,
|5087594431 ext. 500 is/was canal control. They can give you an idea on train schedule.
|I guess a life raft would be nice on every trip, but certainly not nec for this trip. Tow diNGHY and you are are fine. RR bridge seldom down.
Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Minnewaska brings forth a very good sugestion in a rental for the delivery.
You can check canal control web site or phone to check if a bridge schedule.
The time I transited the canal, when the bridge was down, canal control boats were
on hand to keep traffic a safe distance from the bridge. Do not know if this is
standard operating procedure but suspect it is as they seem to be pretty much on top
of things. Maybe more familiar sailnetters will comment.
Beware of towing dink, as is a very possible way to foul prop. Well aware of the space
contraints of a 30 fter., if you can't keep inflated aboard use floats or floating line
and bring in very close to transom if manuvering boat in tight quarters.
Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Water is very cold in May. Probably 55 degs. Many don't have rafts, but I would want one. The dinghy will only work in relatively calm seas.
You can rent liferafts from LRSE in Newport, if you prefer.
Re: New in Narragansett Bay
Ok, so I'm glad I asked this question (about sailing Plymouth to Providence, the
CC Canal, etc). Dinghy or liferaft? Well I will need a little tender, but wasn't planning on a life raft. Should I? Not going to be cruising a lot,more daysailing, but a trip to the islands, Block, Cuttyhunk, MV, once or twice a season.
For Plymouth to Providence, was planning on towing a small inflatable dinghy.
That safe enough for an emergency in early May?
Also, sounds like I really need to avoid the railroad bridge coming down while en route: only have a Yanmar 13 hp on this boat (S2 30), which is not enough power to go against the Canal's current.
Can you find out on web if bridge will be down? Or just radio canal manager?
I do not have much experience, but will be sailing with a very experienced sailor.
Definitely need him on this first trip...

Don't Let Dirt & Dust Destroy Your Stuff!
We've Got The BEST WAY To Clean It Up!
This Vac Cleans EVERYTHING!
USB Powered - 2 Speed Settings - LED Guide Light!
This Thing Cleans It All... Quick & Easy!
Keep That Keyboard AND Desk Squeaky Clean The RIGHT Way!
Can you guess what one of the most vulnerable areas of your computer is? If you guessed "Keyboard," you're absolutely right. Whether you're using a laptop or desktop, one thing's for certain: crumbs, hair, lint and dirt will DESTROY your keyboard!
If you're using a laptop, guess what? The entire motherboard sits directly under the keys...and you DO NOT want to damage that! Not to mention, laptop or desktop, once enough grime gets between the keys, you will NOT BE ABLE TO TYPE ANY MORE!
AND...let's not even get started with how disgusting your desk is! You wanna talk about dust and dirt getting into the crevices of your computer...your desk is a haven house for dirt, hair and crumbs that are eager to destroy your computer!
You NEED a POWERFUL Mini Vacuum That Flat-Out WORKS!
And This is It!
From the second you use this, you'll understand that it really "sucks." And when I say sucks, I mean that in the most literal sense of the word: This thing is POWERFUL!
No more gnarly crud under your keyboard inhibiting your typing and ruining your motherboard. No more grime in the corner of your desk just waiting to get inside of your computer.
This BRAND NEW design is packed full of features that make it the absolute last mini vacuum you'll ever need. Read on to learn more!
HUGE Power - Compact Package!
The first thing you'll notice about this thing is the size. You won't believe how powerful it is! Small enough to stow away in your briefcase of book bag, this can be kept on your desk without getting in the way. At all.
In fact, this guy is meant to be left in your desk drawer or, to sit inconspicuously in the corner, just waiting to eliminate ALL the mess. Ready to learn about some BRILLIANT features? Here we go...
It's USB Powered!
This guy was meant for your computer, and it's got the hardware to prove it! Included in this package is a power cord that plugs into the vacuum at one end...and into the USB slot of your computer on the other end! It's THAT EASY to get sucking!
Simply hook it up to your computer and immediately suck away all the dirt and grime! It's a universal USB end, so it'll plug into ANY USB port! No batteries to worry about, no AC power cords that are either too long or not long enough...just simple, uncompromising power and convenience!
Two Power Settings!
Let's be honest. The first few times you use this, you'll probably want to use it on the high setting in order to thoroughly clean your keyboard/computer/desk.
This setting is no joke: you'll immediately feel the sucking power and know that you're dealing with a high-quality mini-vacuum - not some cheap junk that's gonna break down on you in a week.
The second power setting is PLENTY powerful. We'd recommend using this one as your daily setting after that thorough, initial cleaning. This'll keep you nice and fresh for YEARS to come!
But no matter what setting you use, you can rest assured that you're getting rid of harmful debris - and that doesn't SUCK!
What Can it Clean? There's NO LIMIT!
Keyboards, Crevices, Nooks & Crannies!
PERFECT for cleaning your computer fans - extends the life of your computer!
Your ENTIRE desk! Catch ALL of that nasty debris before it ends up inside your PC!
Anything on or around your desk: Phone, Calculator, Printer and MORE!
LED POWER: The Filth CANNOT Hide!
No matter how small that garbage is, trust me - with the LED light on, you'll see EXACTLY what you're sucking up! This bright light, as you can see, is found at the bottom side of the top of the vacuum. It points down, shining SUPER BRIGHT LED LIGHT into all those dark little crevices and corners - you won't miss a thing!
You'll be shocked, and probably a little disgusted, by how much grime this bright light will reveal. But not to worry - it's all about to disappear!
That's one of the great features found on this guy: you know it's working because you can SEE THE RESULTS!
Comes With TWO Attachments - DOUBLE Your Cleaning Power!
As you can see from the images, there's not one, but TWO attachments for this vacuum! One contains a brush with three 'suck holes.' This is EXTREMELY USEFUL for that stuck-on grime. After dust settles for a while, it starts to get hard and sticky. Use this brush tip to knock it loose while you suck it up! This attachment is great for those with extra dirty computers to clean.
The second attachment is thin and narrow, so it easily gets between your keys, suck the grime from your fans, works perfectly in corners, etc. Really, either tip would have been totally sufficient, but now you have options!
Ready to See it in ACTION? Check out the Video Below!
Performs Like a Million Bucks. On Sale for Less than Thirteen!
That's right! This high-quality, super powerful mini-vacuum can be yours for just $12.97 with FREE US SHIPPING. That's a lifetime of clean, flawlessly functioning keyboards, computers and more for less than ten bucks!
PS: We have a limited supply of these on hand - don't miss your chance to get yours today! Once they're gone, they might be gone for good!

'The Sabres have their team locked in for next season with the exception of veteran defenseman Jay McKee. McKee wants a long-term deal and did not accept his qualifying offer. He will become an unrestricted free agent after this season unless he signs a multi-year contract. "I think (these signings are) terrific for the hockey team given the amount of time off that we've had," Regier said. "What it means is that our team, for the most part…is set going into training camp."'

This Week in Virology (TWiV) is a podcast – or netcast, as some prefer to call them, since you don't need an iPod to listen – about viruses. It was begun in September 2008 by Vincent Racaniello and Dick Despommier, two science Professors at Columbia University Medical Center. Their goal was to have an informal yet informative conversation about viruses which would be accessible to everyone, no matter what their science background. We wanted to eventually bring other virologists into the conversation, to make it more varied and interesting. Alan Dove, a science writer, joined us late in 2008, and Rich Condit, a poxvirologist, joined in 2009. We've had a number of guests on the show and we're always trying to get more.
Why are we doing this? Dick, Rich, and I have spent our entire academic careers directing research laboratories, so we have a lot of knowledge to share. Plus, we both enjoy teaching. Put those two things together, and you have TWiV. If you want to learn about viruses in a relaxing way, then TWiV is for you.
Microbes drive the chemistry of life. They affect the global climate. They do most of the recycling that keeps the world habitable. This hour follows scientists as they explore our reliance on this invisible world for our planet's health and well-being.
Infectious diseases occur when our relationship with microbes changes or when an intruder invades. This hour follows scientists who seek to understand our most personal relationships with the microscopic world, which usually keeps us well but sometimes makes us sick.
The 21st century challenges us to reclaim our damaged environment and feed a growing population. This hour introduces scientists who are turning to microbes for solutions and the tiny organisms who are making new cleanup technologies possible.
TWiM listeners have spent their valuable time writing comments about the podcast on iTunes, and it's a shame that most people don't see them. I'm putting them here as a way of thanking them for their time, and for listening. This is a work-in-progress because the comments have to be typed here by hand; for some reason you can't copy/paste them from iTunes.

Or, replace the measuring laser with a CO2 laser and etch your name a few ten-thousandths of an inch deep into the whole top of your car.
That's just off the top of my head. Take a look at some of the CNC machines at http://www.cnczone.com/gallery/misc....ion=showalbums
Having the laser travel along the same axis as the rotisserie gives you just two lines to make parallel. Even then, any inaccuracies would be measured at the same time the measurement from laser head to car is taken, so they're compensated for in the software.
The reason I said worm gear is because of the fact they don't coast; they stop when you stop the input. The worm could be driven by a step motor and the backlash could be measured with each step. Since it would be the computer doing the measuring, it doesn't matter that it would be a tedious job. This avoids using expensive, high torque step motors and puts it back in reach of a garage engineer.
The computer could do the calibrating for a full rotation, producing a +/- deviation for each step of the motor. That compensates for any slop in the gearing. As long as it can measure the error, the data will accurately reflect the real surface.
Essentially, it's taking the same rotisserie that a lot of people custom make for body work and turning it over to your PC to rotate in tiny increments. At each stop, the laser measures the distance to the car surface at however many points along that axis that you choose and measures how far off from the reference target it is at each of those points. Same priniciple used to align industrial machines or to level dropped ceilings.
I think it would be better to bolt the car down to a solid frame and then have the laser move back and forth and all around the car. Step motors are used on computer controlled machines. No worm drives because they are not accurate enough.
|Rob Keller
What is the whole purpose of this?
What is the end result?
computer controlled car scanner
Ok, this is off the wall, but that's what happens at this hour of the morning. This is something I've thought about off and on for a couple of years, but don't have the skills or tools to implement. Maybe it's just too much pentrating oil and too little ventilation.
Put a car, without fluids of course, on a motorized, computer controlled rotisserie. (Just assume for the thought experiment that space in the building is no problem, so the car can be rotated 360 degrees about its long axis). On a frame of pipes or tubing, the plane of which is parallel to the long axis of the car, put a kind of trolley system that can travel the length of that frame on the horizontal pipes. On that trolley, a head unit carries a laser measuring device. (It could also carry an arm that moves in and out, perpendicular to the trolley, toward or away from the car, to duplicate a paint job or mill a full-scale model of a previously scanned car).
That head can carry lasers for checking deviation of the whole rig from the X and Y axes. As long as there are fixed points of reference, the frame that the trolley rides on does not have to be very precise. Let the computer read the deviation from those fixed points with each pass it makes.
Similar frames front and back, without the rotisserie, deal with those views.
I'm assuming something like worm gears in the rotisserie and fine motor control to drive them so that it can be moved in small enough increments to be useful.
It just looks to me like all the necessary components are available off-the-shelf for such a thing to be assembled in a lot of garages. Quite a few hotrodders already build rotisseries. It's not that big a step to put a bearing and shaft at one end and a worm gear transmission (for example) and a stepper motor at the other. The hobby robotics folks already do some strange stuff with open source programs controlling free roaming robots; it should be a cinch to run a laser back and forth along a pipe while collecting data (distance from laser head to car surface, distance from laser head to reference point, angle that the car rotated since last measurement). All that data gives you a 3D representation of the surface of the car, or other large object, in the computer.
All sorts of wild things could be done with the data after that. Replace the laser head with a milling head on a rigid arm that can travel the same path the laser did and mill a replica out of a big block of foam or wood or aluminum. Or, modify the shape in the computer and mill that. Use the result to build fiberglass molds.
Where are the engineers and technicians to blow holes in this contraption?
