I was wondering the NP division in a party.
when the number of people in a party is :
8-> 15 (I remember it was 12 in the previous versions of KO)
7-> 16
6-> 18
5-> 19
4-> 22
3-> 27
2-> 36
If it is like that, please let me know

Final ID from dissection for June - but I really think I should have got this one!
Gypsonoma dealbana 30th June (first for garden):
Gelechid 06/07/17
10 months ago
I have been moth-trapping in my garden in Huntingdonshire, VC31 since 2003 and by 2017 had recorded over 830 species - the complete list can be seen on the Earith Moth List link below. The garden backs onto the Ouse Washes and is just yards from the Old Bedford River so whilst there is little woodland locally, I attract a wide range of species.

WASHINGTON — The Voice of America will expand its broadcasts to China to 12 hours a day beginning Monday, Sen. Paul Simon (D., Ill.) announced over the weekend.
``Now more than ever, VOA is a lifeline to the truth for the people of China,`` said Simon, who was chief sponsor of Senate-passed legislation directing the agency to expand its transmissions to China since the violence there. ``This will help get the truth to people whose government is systematically trying to bury the truth.``

Although we finished yesterday off with a death in the family, things are turning around today. If I could just get the boys to get along I'd be euphoric! I downloaded a new photo program this morning that was free for comcast customers. After playing with it for about a half an hour I managed to make the following video AND get it to play on the blog! Yipee. That's a feat I still haven't managed with the last video.
The rumor Queen is saying today that the European agency that is usually right is predicting CCAA will get through all of August in August. This is a VERY early rumor and most likely too good too be true, but at least it puts a little hope in the day!
After spending yesterday down in the dumps, I've managed to get caught up today and now I need to go get my stuff marked for the garage sale!

text: We're currently encouraging Rory to be a tad more independent, including washing his hands and brushing his teeth with us so we've purchased a Baby Bjorn Safe Step stool. It's great and Rory loves it. So much so that he insists on bringing it over whenever he can to join us (me washing my hands, me putting my makeup on, O shaving etc.). All very sweet. Today was mainly spent packing for our trip to The Hampton's tomorrow, why does Rory need so much stuff?! Anyway, in the evening O and I made this delicious grilled peach and halloumi salad with a homemade pea pesto, yummy.

This past Friday, the Williams community experienced music faculty talent for the second time this semester. Steven Dennis Bodner, adjunct teacher of saxophone and music director of the Williams Symphonic Winds, provided a program of 5 pieces for alto saxophone. All of the works were from the twentieth century.
Debussy's "Syrinx," originally composed for flute, then transcribed for alto saxophone, provided a delicate opening to the concert. Bodner held the motives together with a consistent tone color and subtly played dynamics. He also created a nice echo effect. Although "Syrinx" was a short piece, lasting only a few minutes, it was played well, with a technical soundness.
Next on the docket was contemporary Japanese composer Ryo Noda's "Phoenix," the most unusual piece of the night. Bodner opened with a haunting first line, offsetting the faint echo with silence. In this short sketch, coherence was achieved largely by occasional repetitions of recognizable motif fragments.
Bodner played the quiet dynamics called for in the piece quite well, especially considering the physical constraints of the instrument. Near the end, the piece fell into chaos, representing the death of the mythical bird of the title. Here, Bodner employed extensive contemporary techniques such as microtonal tremolos. The opening theme was restated again, fading dramatically to nothing, and drawing this short composition to a close.
Pierson Wetzel, piano accompanist, joined Bodner for the third piece on the program, Henri Tomasi's "Ballade." This energetic piece, although well-played, seemed to cram too much material into a short amount of time. It opened with a basic modal-sounding piano melody with chords underneath. When the saxophone came in, the piano played running triplets under the melody. The piano accompaniment throughout this piece was rather patchy; at first Wetzel lagged behind a bit, then caught up, overestimated the pace, slowed down, and so on. The piece changed moods on a dime, from happy to energetic to slow to mysterious to flowing to energetic again.
As the duo kept on, their intonation wavered, but Bodner was able to cover it effectively with vibrato. Wetzel seemed to play too independently of Bodner. He also tended to rush near the end, which didn't help the solo, as it entailed many quick running figures. Although the piece was played nicely and with a good amount of panache, it was too flighty for my taste.
After an intermission, Bodner played the meatiest piece of the night, Rachmaninoff's "Vocalise." This well-known piece transcribed for alto saxophone and piano opened softly, building up the theme only to diminuedo back to nearly nothing.
The piece was based on a minor tonality but still seemed cheerful, perhaps due to the hope suggested by the rising and falling motives. Not only the soloist's playing but also his stage presence and movements conveyed the mood. Bodner's stage presence lent a lot to this piece (and to the others as well); his movements and facial expressions seemed to mirror his playing. In the instrumentation of this piece, however, I felt some of the classical edge replaced by a jazzier feel. Here the soloist and accompanist were more at peace with one another; their interaction seemed more seamless than in the Tomasi.
The duo then presented the fifth and last piece, Aleksandr Glazunov's "Concerto for Alto Saxophone." This remarkable composition showed traces of jazz as well as some Arabic and native African influence, perhaps Glazunov's way of breaking the traditional Russian art music mold. Throughout the piece, Bodner showcased his technical and expressive prowess. Although this piece was a bit capricious as well, it seemed less scattered than did the Tomasi piece.
In the cadenza, Bodner did not take as many liberties with dynamics as I would have liked to hear, perhaps due to concern over the technical aspects of the line. Inserting more silence would have increased anticipation and suspense. Near the end, during the triplet melody, the piano had a tendency to rush, forcing Bodner to quicken to keep them together, in turn resulting in a rushed-sounding line. After that, however, came some broad motives that were perhaps the best playing of the evening ? those uninhibited, freely played lines captured a joy and liberty that was unprecedented earlier in the concert.

"Every Day is Like Sunday" - Morrissey - Smiths Symposium
I wouldn't, for the life of me, have ever imagined this for my all-time favorite singer, Morrissey. Not so recently, in the first week of April, at Manchester Metropolitan University, in the UK, there was held an academic symposium on the Smiths, Morrissey's former band in the 80's. It was organized by Colin Coulter, from National University of Ireland, Maynooth, Fergus Campbell, from Newcastle University, and Sean Campbell, from Anglia Polytechnic University.
Take a look at the titles of the papers presented:
Subjectivity, Suicide and the Smiths by Kieran Cashell of the Limerick Institute of technology
The Smiths, Manchester and Identity; Refractory Poles: Manchester and London in the Smiths' Imagery by Gian Pietro Leonardi, of the University of Rome
Sing Me to Sleep: the Smiths and the Demise of English Rock by John Harris
The Theatres of Memory or Radical Chic? The Smiths and Early 1960s British Kitchen-Sink Cinema by Kari Kallioniemi, of the University of Turku, in Finland
The Smiths and Working Class Realist Aesthetics by Paulo Oliveira, of the University of Aveiro, in Portugal
After the presentations the academics adjourned to a The Smiths disco at the Star and Garter pub, to watch and listen to a band called The Smyths, who only played from The Smith's repertoire. The lead singer sported a pair of horn-rim glasses with some plaster in the middle, an obvious nod to one of The Smith's earliest videos seen on Top of the Pops. I can tell you that as I caught the news of The Smith's symposium on DW TV, a German channel. (Why not a peep from the BBC?) Most of the attendees of the symposium were decked out in Smiths tee-shirts; some even combed their hair into quiffs.
If you don't already know, the overriding theme in all of The Smiths's songs is misery. Take at look at a bit of the lyrics from There Is A Light And It Never Goes Out:
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten-ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure - the privilege is mine
This may be a laugh for some people, but in the UK one time some manufacturer planned a full-page spread in the NME, a music weekly, which showed a pair of very, very old and very, very miserable-looking couple listening to The Smiths on its speakers. And for the majority of knife-wielding, gun-toting Latinos in Los Angeles, the Smiths is no laughing matter. In LA, where Morrissey now lives, resides his biggest fan base in the world. They are so crazy over and devoted to The Smiths and Morrissey that they even have The Smiths-only night clubs which only play The Smiths and nothing else. If you have never seen a concert of Morrissey's, you wouldn't believe some of the audience trying to get up the stage to hug and kiss him and his hand, and to proffer deep kowtows.
There is a revival of interest in not only The Smiths but Morrissey himself. He has been touring the UK to promote his latest CD You are the Quarry, and his label Sanctuary has just released a live set CD and a live performance DVD of his sold-out concert in Manchester.
I have always been a great fan, ever since I heard them in the 80s - and I really mean a great fan – hunting for tees, books, videos and DVDs all over London; in San Francisco managing to obtain import-only copy of rare B-sides collection CD and US-pressed DVD singles collection. When anyone calls me on my mobile, it sings out Every Day is like Sunday. Only the tune, of course, not the words. The actual words are :
Trudging slowly over wet sand
back to the bench
where your clothes were stolen
this is the coastal town
that they forgot to close down
Armageddon - come Armageddon!
Come Armageddon! Come!
Everyday is like Sunday
everyday is silent and grey
Hide on the promenade
scratch out a postcard
"how I dearly with I was not here"
in the seaside town
...that they forgot to bomb
Come! Come! Come - nuclear bomb!
Everyday is like Sunday
everyday is silent and grey
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
and a strange dust lands on your hands
(and on your face)
Everyday is like Sunday
"Win Yourself A Cheap Tray"
share some greased tea with me
everyday is silent and grey

topsider, a good idea??
View Single Post
Posts: n/a
An important part of this equation was touched on but not explored, and that is the oilpan design.
If by design, the low spot of the pan is where the dipstick goes ( and therefore the topsider tube), then this would lead to the fact of getting more oil out (all else being equal, like oil temp at change and going back and getting those last few ounces) with the topsider.
If however, the drain plug is the low spot, then you will most likely get more oil out by removing the plug.
I have not seen all of the MB oil pans so I cannot commnet on what model has what. I know that most North American engines have the drain plug as the low spot, and usually by a fair margin.
If by design, MB has dcided that they will use a topsider method, then they may very well have made the oilpan to accomodate properly.
Just a thought.

My own students and I am in school until June 11th. So obviously this posed as a problem!! Thank goodness for some of the no prep resources I've created, as well as purchased from other FANTASTIC TpT authors. I was able to whip up some lesson plans real quick for the 5 days I would be out. But I also created this FREEBIE, that if you are still in school, maybe you could use as well, and I am leaving for my sub to use on the last FULL day of school! Summer & Reflection Task Cards FREEBIE K-5
If you are already out of school, I hope you have a fantastically relaxing summer. And if you aren't finished yet---you are almost there!!!! Enjoy your time off :)

Patty got in her room about 6:45. She was real sleepy and dozed in and out for a while. She has awoken and is talking and feeling as good as could be expected. She's been drinking some water but isn't hungry as of yet. The doctor will be by in the morning and if all is well she will come home tomorrow afternoon.

Restoration Notes: A Day in the Life of a Railway Museum.
Saturday, September 19, 1998
"Don't leaveDC on a Friday", a report from Greg Ramsey
Last week I told you that I was planning on leading the excavation under the switch between the Pennsylvania Diner and the public grade crossing. In the interim, the management determined that instead of proceeding with that project, we should finish the cleanup of the West End of the track the scouts rebuilt. I should probably refer to it as track 7 or something, but for some reason I can never remember this numbering scheme.
Since I was in DC all week, I let the folks on the home front make the decisions. With my flight problems, it was just as well. I was supposed to fly back Friday evening, leaving Dulles at 5:15 PM. Of course, the plane broke down, and Friday night is never a good time to try and rebook. United ended up putting us up for the night, and then flew us back to LA on the now repaired airplane at 7:00 AM Saturday morning. With the time change and the time required to get to the Airport, that meant I was up at 2:00 AM Travel Town time.
We arrived in LA about 9:15 AM local and instead of flying all the way back to Oxnard, I had Yvonne and the kids meet me at LAX and then drive me straight to Travel Town. We arrived at the Park about 10:30 AM, and as I opened the gates for Yvonne, I saw Gordon Bachlund, Linda Barth and Greg Gneier having a conversation under the tree near the BBQs. I said Hi, and then went on into the compound to unload my tools and change into overalls.
Bryan was already in the Motorcar and I set my tools near the engineroom door. After exchanging greetings with him, I join the meeting by the BBQs for a few moments. Then Gregory and I decide to take a tour of the entrance project area. Though there is evidence of progress in a number of areas such as additional blocks placed on various walls, new wood forms and completion of some curbs in the parking lot, there is nothing dramatic to see. I decide not to try and take any new digital photos.
As I return to the yard, the MW folks are preparing to head out with the tractor. I see Danny, Jeff Barrow, Brian Moore, Charles and others. Not sure who is leading, but it doesn't really matter. They all seem to work together well.
In the Motorcar, Bryan is plugging away. He has already installed the rocker arms on the #4 head. The other 3 heads still have slight interference from the head studs. With help from Bryan, Brad Sloser, and Doug Stevens, I adjust and grind 4 more head studs, and am able to install 2 more sets of rocker arms. One rocker on the last set is missing the valve follower cap, so I take it with me so I can try and find a replacement at one of the diesel shops.
By mid-afternoon I am about ready to drop. Gordon does point out to me though that the 90-day inspection on the Baldwin is due, so we gather up the records and commence to inspect and sign blue cards.
By the time my mother and Yvonne arrive, someone has started Charley and Brian and Gordon are starting to talk about the training for the evening. I'm too tired to pay attention though and quickly load up my tools and depart.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a clamping device for a cylindrical shaft. More specifically, the invention relates to a clamping or locking device for restraining axial or rotatable movement of a cylindrical shaft.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The prior art is characterized by U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,732 and corresponding West German Patent Application No. 33 19 042. These devices are generally utilized for restraining a shaft as it is displaced longitudinally or rotatably. The clamping device is utilized to prevent movement of the shaft relative to the clamping unit. The activation force for the braking pressure is provided by a fluid introduced into the braking device. This fluid may be either air or hydraulic fluid. The device is specifically intended to permit both locking and unlocking of the shaft with relation to the housing.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,732 discloses a shaft which may be rotated or moved longitudinally within a braking housing. A series of ramped clamping elements are mounted adjacent the freely rotatably and longitudinally displaceable shaft. A series of ball or roller bearings are positioned on the ramp surfaces of the clamping devices and are designed to roll along the ramp surface. The ball or roller bearings are also in contact with a surface which is parallel to the surface of the rotatable shaft. This second surface is formed from the inner wall of a hollow piston. The second surface, the bearing and the ramped surface are positioned such that the bearing is rotated relative to the two surfaces by a movement of either. In this way, a displacement of the piston rolls the bearing along its inner wall and simultaneously rolls the bearing along the ramp surface of the clamping device. As the piston is unyielding, the bearing is urged against the ramped surface with increasing force as the bearing is displaced further along the ramp surface.
The ramp surface is designed to be flexible at one end, allowing slight displacement of the clamping means from its resting position. The clamping means is spaced at rest from the rotatable or axially displaceable shaft and urged by the bearing in contact with said shaft. Thus, the shaft is restrained from movement relative to the clamping means. The piston is displaced by fluid pressure in an adjacent chamber. The device illustrated in U.S. Pat. No. 4,577,732 is intended to be locked by increasing pressure in the fluid chamber and released by decreasing the pressure in the same chamber. The piston is moved from a locking to an unlocking position by the action of a spring. A restraining ring and a second spring are utilized to keep the bearing in registration with the two locking surfaces.
There are several limitations associated with the prior art device. The first such limitation is that the device which utilizes a specific cast or molded ramp clamping element is designed to be specifically fluid pressure activated. A second limitation is that the ramped clamping elements are integral to the shaft locking unit and require considerable time and effort to replace if worn or damaged. Relatedly, the use of a single roller or ball bearing with a single ramp surface contributes to premature wear or damage of the bearing surfaces.
There remains, therefore, a need in the art for a braking device which may easily be converted from a pressure actuated to a pressure released mechanism. Additionally, a device which utilizes easily replaceable bearing surfaces would require a minimum of repair time for replacement of the bearing surfaces. Lastly, a device is needed which minimizes the amount of wear on the bearings and the bearing surfaces to reduce the need for such repairs over time.
A device is disclosed herein which provides replaceable and interchangeable bearing surfaces which are easily removed for replacement or transition from a pressure actuated to a pressure released embodiment. Additionally, a device is disclosed which preferably utilizes multiple roller bearings to minimize the degradation of the bearing surfaces. The preferred embodiment of the device provides detachable ramp components which are fastened to the clamping means. These ramp surfaces are preferably hardened for long wear under difficult operating conditions. The ramped removable portions may be installed in one of two opposite positions which allows for flexibility of the device in terms of air pressure actuation or release.
The removable ramp clamping surfaces are furthermore provided on both the clamping means and the actuation means associated with the actuation piston. The ramp surfaces are arranged with respect to each other so that inclined running surfaces are parallel to each other and diagonally mounted with respect to the surface of the shaft upon which the clamping device is mounted. Multiple bearings are preferably utilized and are mounted between the two parallel ramp surfaces. In this way, a high clamping force is achieved with a low corresponding force on the actuating element. It is the utilization of corresponding parallel contact surfaces of the ramp portions which provide the device with the capability for multiple bearings. It is further the use of multiple bearings which reduces the wear on the running surfaces and the bearings of the device and permits longer service time therefor.
The contact surface portions, which have running surfaces for the roller bearings may be designed, in one embodiment, so that both the contact surface portions of the clamping and actuating elements have a slope or gradient This is illustrated as the preferred embodiment It is also contemplated, however, that these elements may be designed so that only the contact surface portions provided on the clamping element or on the actuation element have the slope or gradient The opposing contact running surface might then be provided as a flat surface. In this embodiment, a gap would occur between any bearing and the flat surface during the unclamped mode of the device. Similarly, only a single bearing could be utilized in this embodiment for each clamping element.
An additional embodiment of the device utilizes a second pressure medium chamber rather than a spring as the resilient means utilized for restoring the actuating element from its first position to its second position.
A final alternative embodiment of the device may be utilized in the event that a central cylindrical shaft is not utilized and that the piston itself must be secured in a particular working position. In this embodiment, the longitudinal slots between clamping elements could be applied to the actuating element while the inner clamping sleeve is of rigid construction. Movement of the inner clamping sleeve would permit the sections of the outer sleeve to engage the inner walls of the cylinder by a similar method as described herein.
These and other advantages and features of the present invention will be more fully understood with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof and to the appended drawings.
FIG. 1A is a sectional view of a spring-actuated pressure-release configuration of the clamping device of the invention.
FIG. 1B is a sectional view of a pressure-actuated spring-release configuration of the clamping device of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the device shown in FIG. 1A taken along line 2--2.
Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the clamping device is illustrated having a housing base 21 and a housing head 4. The housing base 21 and the housing head 4 are preferably integrally formed of a single unit. A cylindrical ring 1 is connected through threads 2 with clamping sleeve 3. The cylindrical shaft 16 is slidably mounted within clamping sleeve 3 and is both axially movable and rotatable within clamping sleeve 3. Cylindrical shaft 16 is sealed off from cylindrical ring 1 by means of sealing ring 52 which is retained in position by a retaining ring 53.
Cylindrical shaft 16 is also mounted coaxially within clamping sleeve 3. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that clamping sleeve 3 is slotted longitudinally at the free, clamping end which is opposite that in contact with cylindrical ring 1. Referring to the top portion of FIG. 2, the slots 62 and 63 of clamping sleeve 3 allow for some independent movement of clamping elements 61, 43 and 64.
Referring again to FIGS. 1A and 1B, the clamping end of clamping sleeve 3 is further provided with recesses 54 and 55 which are provided in each of the clamping elements 61, 43 and 64. Referring again to FIG. 2, the recesses 71 and 72 are also provided in the two clamping elements 61 and 64 not shown in FIG. 1A or FIG. 1B. For the purposes of clarity, it is to be noted that all four of the clamping elements are identical in their construction. Further illustration of the device will refer only to FIGS. 1A and 1B and the two clamping elements illustrated therein.
Ramp elements 23 and 41 are mounted within the recesses 54 and 55, respectively. These ramp elements extend longitudinally parallel to the cylindrical shaft 16. Each ramp element 23 and 41 has a running surface 25 and 42, respectively, upon which the bearings will move.
The recesses 54 and 55 are provided such that each has a recess face at each end of the ramp element. Ramp element 23 is therefore associated with recess 54 having faces 22 and 30, while ramp element 41 is associated with recess 55 which contains faces 44 and 39. The faces are utilized to provide a retaining means for the ramp elements and further to provide a stop for the movement of the bearings as will be described later. Each face projects radially outwardly from the clamping sleeve 3 beyond the surface of its associated ramp element 41 or 23.
A second sleeve is mounted coaxially to clamping sleeve 3 and serves as the actuating element 9. Actuating element 9 surrounds clamping sleeve 3 on a portion of its axial extension. More specifically, it surrounds clamping sleeve 3 adjacent the clamping end of clamping sleeve 3. Actuating element 9 is displaceable relative to the cylindrical shaft 16 and clamping sleeve 3 in the direction of their longitudinal axes.
Actuating element 9 is provided, similar to clamping sleeve 3, with recesses extending perpendicularly to its circumference and longitudinally with respect to cylindrical shaft 16. Each of the recesses 56 and 57 is in radial registration with similar recesses 54 and 55 of clamping sleeve 3. This is illustrated more fully in FIG. 2.
Referring again to FIGS. 1A and 1B, each of recesses 56 and 57 serves to receive a ramp element 11 and 34, respectively. Ramp elements 34 and 11 are essentially similar to corresponding ramp elements 41 and 23 save that they are mounted 180°0 with respect thereto. This provides running surfaces 33 and 12 which are in a parallel orientation to corresponding running surfaces 42 and 25, respectively. Recess 56 is provided with faces 8 and 14 and recess 57 is provided with faces 31 and 38. These faces, like those associated with recesses 54 and 55, provide a restraining means for the ramp elements 34 and 23. Furthermore, they also provide a stop for the bearings as will be described later. These faces extend radially inwardly from actuating element 9 towards clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16, extending beyond the running surfaces 33 and 12 of ramp elements 34 and 11, respectively.
Recesses 54 and 55 in conjunction with recesses 56 and 57, respectively, form pockets between the clamping sleeve 3 and actuating element 9. Each pocket is adapted to contain three roller bearings. The pocket formed by recesses 55 and 57 contains roller bearings 35, 36 and 37 while the pocket formed by recesses 54 and 56 contains roller bearings 26, 27 and 28. The roller bearings are arranged one behind the other and move in the direction of the longitudinal axis of clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16. The roller bearings are mounted in contact with running surfaces 33, 42, 12 and 25. Roller bearings 35, 36, and 37 are associated with running surfaces 33 and 42 while roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 are associated with running surfaces 25 and 12. The roller bearings are designed so that their axes of rotation run perpendicularly to the longitudinal axes of clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16. It is to be specifically noted that spherical bearings may be provided as a substitute for roller bearings.
A pressure medium connection 51 is provided in housing head 4 for the introduction of fluid pressure from an exterior source into pressure medium chamber 49. A channel 50 serves to connect pressure medium connection 51 to pressure medium chamber 49. Pressure medium chamber 49 is formed by an inner wall of housing head 4 at one extreme and piston 46 at the other. Piston 46 is slidably mounted within pressure medium chamber 49, which generally forms a cylindrical hollow cavity within housing base 21. The piston is limited in its axial travel by projecting sleeve 5.
Projecting sleeve 5 is slidingly mounted with housing head 4. A seal may be provided to prevent the escape of fluid pressure from pressure medium chamber 49 around projecting sleeve 5, clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16. Projecting sleeve 5 is generally in the form of a cylinder having a tubular body 6 and stop 7 at one end adapted to engage the piston 46. Projecting sleeve 5 is mounted within housing head 4 at its end opposite said stop 7 and is restrained at that same end within housing head 4 by clamping sleeve 3 which is mounted coaxially within projecting sleeve 5. Projecting sleeve 5 is also mounted coaxially within piston 46, which is provided with an annular space in the center thereof. Piston 46 is displaceable along the tubular body 6 of projecting sleeve 5 and is limited in its travel by the stop 7 and the housing head 4 which forms the top of the cylinder of pressure medium chamber 49.
Sealing means 47 and 48, which are preferably in the form of O-rings, are provided in piston 46. Sealing means 47 is located within piston 46 such that it is in contact with the cylinder wall of pressure medium chamber 49. Sealing means 48 is also located within piston 46 but is in sealing contact with projecting sleeve 5. The sealing means are provided to prevent the escape of fluid pressure around piston 46 and into the remainder of the chamber within housing base 21. Pressure medium chamber 49 may be further defined by a stepped portion of the walls of housing base 21. This stepped portion causes the cylinder wall adjacent pressure medium chamber 49 to be slightly thicker than the remaining walls of housing base 21.
Piston 46 is provided with piston skirt 45 which extends perpendicularly from piston 46 toward actuating element 9. Piston skirt 45 is therefore coaxially mounted around clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16. The piston skirt 45 is adapted to abut actuating element 9 and displace it longitudinally with respect to clamping sleeve 3 and cylindrical shaft 16. A resilient means, preferably in the form of a spring, is provided at the opposite end of actuating element 9 and is intended to resiliently bias actuating element 9 into a position abutting piston skirt 45.
A resilient means, which is preferably in the form of a spring, is mounted engaging actuating element 9 and spring retaining ring 17. Spring retaining ring 17 restrains the resilient means and is held in place by retainer 19, mounted in slot 18 of housing body 21. The spring is of generally cylindrical form and is mounted coaxially exterior to cylindrical shaft 16 and is generally of the same diameter as actuating element 9. Spring retaining ring 17 provides a base against which actuating element 9 is resiliently biased. Two springs are illustrated in FIGS. 1A and 1B. Heavier spring 20 is shown in the upper portion of FIG. 1A while lighter spring 15 is illustrated in the lower portion of FIG. 1B. The heavier spring 20 is preferably utilized if the clamping force is to be induced by a spring and released through the use of fluid pressure. This spring actuated-air release embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 1A. FIG. 1B illustrates a fluid actuated-spring release embodiment which preferably utilizes lighter spring 15 as the restoring force to bias the actuating element 9 rightwardly, as shown in FIG. 1B, into the release position.
Referring now to FIG. 2, three of the four clamping elements are illustrated, being clamping elements 61, 43 and 64. Slots 62 and 63 are shown between the individual clamping elements. Recesses 55, 71 and 72 are illustrated within clamping elements 61, 43 and 64 and contain ramp elements 58, 41 and 66, respectively. Recesses 73, 57 and 74 are provided within actuating element 9 and also contain ramp elements 60, 34 and 65, respectively. Roller bearings 59, 36 and 67 are illustrated as mounted within the combined recesses, as shown in a clockwise fashion in FIG. 2. It should be specifically noted that clamping elements 61 and 64 are preferably associated with three roller bearings in a similar fashion to clamping element 43 as shown in FIG. 1A.
Clamping elements 61, 43 and 64 are separated by resilient elements 75 and 76 as shown in FIG. 2. Resilient elements 75 and 76 preferably consist of an elastic material provided within slots 63 and 62. These elements press the clamping elements away from each other, by which a slight release of the clamping is effected. This provides a small space between the clamping elements and cylindrical shaft 16 such that cylindrical shaft 16 may be displaced relative to the clamping elements when the locking device is not engaged.
It is apparent from FIG. 2 that clamping sleeve 3 is secured from rotation within housing head 4 by its squared off perimeter. Flat faces 68, 69 and 70 are provided at the end of clamping sleeve 3 adjacent housing head 4. Housing head 4 is similarly flattened to secure clamping sleeve 3 from such rotation.
In operation, both the spring actuated-pressure release and the pressure actuated spring release embodiments may be utilized to secure the rotation or longitudinal movement of cylindrical shaft 16. In the pressure actuated spring released embodiment, as shown in the lower portion of FIG. 1B, fluid pressure is introduced through pressure medium connection 51 through channel 50 and into pressure medium chamber 49. This displaces piston 46 leftwardly, a shown in FIG. 1B, along tubular body 6 of projecting sleeve 5 and along the interior wall of housing body 21.
Piston skirt 45, which abuts actuating element 9, displaces actuating element 9 leftwardly, as shown in FIG. 1B, against the resilient force of lighter spring 15. Roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 are also shifted in the same direction by the movement of actuating element 9. During this process, the inclined running surfaces 12 and 25 are compelled to approach each other because of the movement of actuating element 9 and ramp element 11 against the stationary positioning of clamping sleeve 3 and ramp element 23. It should be specifically noted that although the action of one clamping element is described, this process occurs simultaneously in all clamping elements of the device.
Roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 are located between ramp elements 11 and 23 and maintain an equal distance between running surfaces 12 and 25. Actuating element 9 is rigidly constructed and does not permit displacement of ramp element 11 radially outwardly. Thus, the only flexible portion of the device, being clamping element 24, is displaced radially inwardly by the force of actuating element 9, ramp element 11 and roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 on ramp element 23. Clamping element 24 is thus urged radially inwardly against the surface of cylindrical shaft 16. As all of the clamping elements engage the cylindrical shaft 16 in a similar fashion, cylindrical shaft 16 is therefore secured from movement in either a rotational or axial direction.
In this embodiment, cylindrical shaft 16 may be released after such a locking operation by the release of the fluid pressure in pressure medium chamber 49 through channel 50 and pressure medium connection 51. As the pressure from pressure medium chamber 49 is released, the resilient force of lighter spring 15 acting upon actuating element 9 becomes greater than the counterforce of the fluid pressure on piston 46. Lighter spring 15 thus displaces actuating element 9 rightwardly, as shown in the lower half of FIG. 1B, urging piston 46 by means of piston skirt 45 further into pressure medium chamber 49. The displacement of actuating element 9 in this fashion further displaces ramp element 11. The movement of ramp element 11, coupled with the fixed positioning of ramp element 23 in clamping sleeve 3 causes roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 be displaced in the same manner. The roller bearings roll rightwardly, as shown in FIG. 1B, because of the movement of face 14. As the running surfaces 12 and 25 are longitudinally displaced, the distance between them increases. Clamping element 24 is thus free to resume its rest position, spaced apart from the surface of cylindrical shaft 16. Cylindrical shaft 16 is therefore free to rotate or be longitudinally displaced within clamping sleeve 3.
In the spring actuated-pressure release embodiment illustrated in the upper portion of FIG. 1A, the locking action is provided by heavier spring 20 and held off by the pressurization of pressure medium chamber 49. Cylindrical shaft 16 is secured from movement within clamping sleeve 3 because pressure medium chamber 49 has been evacuated of fluid pressure and heavier spring 20 has displaced actuating element 9 to its maximum extension. In this embodiment, to release the locking action of the device, fluid pressure is introduced into pressure medium chamber 49 as previously described. The leftward movement of piston 46, which is shown in the upper portion of FIG. 1A, again displaces actuating element 9 leftwardly against the resilient force of heavier spring 20. As actuating element 9 is displaced, ramp elements 34 and 41 are similarly displaced with respect to each other. Ramp element 41 is held stationary within clamping sleeve 3 while ramp element 34 is displaced longitudinally by the movement of actuating element 9. Clamping element 43, which has heretofore been urged into contact with the surface of cylindrical shaft 16 by the force of actuating element 9, is released. This occurs as running surfaces 33 and 42 are displaced away from each other. The action of roller bearings 35, 36 and 37 is similar to the action of roller bearings 26, 27 and 28 described previously. Cylindrical shaft 16 is now free to rotate within clamping sleeve 3.
In order to engage the locking device in the spring actuated pressure release embodiment, fluid pressure is evacuated from pressure medium chamber 49 through pressure medium connection 51. The resilient force of heavier spring 20 is thus greater than the restraining force provided by fluid pressure within pressure medium chamber 49. The resilient force of heavier spring 20 displaces actuating element 9 rightwardly, as shown in the top portion of FIG. 1A. The movement of actuating element 9 in this direction causes ramp element 34 to be similarly displaced. With the movement of ramp element 34, running surfaces 33 and 42 are displaced closer to each other. As the distance between these two surfaces must remain the same because of the presence of the roller bearings 35, 36 and 37, clamping element 43 is therefore displaced radially inwardly by the pressure on running surface 42. Clamping element 43 is thus brought in contact with the outer surface of cylindrical shaft 16 and secures cylindrical shaft 16 from movement.
Referring to FIG. 2, during the clamping and releasing operation of the device in either the spring actuated-pressure release or pressure actuated spring release embodiments, the clamping and unclamping action of clamping elements 61, 43 and 64 are very similar. In either embodiment, when the clamping elements are induced into engagement with the surface of cylindrical shaft 16, resilient elements 75 and 76 are compressed to permit a reduction of the diameter of clamping sleeve 3 formed by clamping elements 61, 43 and 64. This brings clamping sleeve 3 into contact with the surface of cylindrical shaft 16 through the clamping elements 61, 43 and 64.
The ramp elements on both the actuating element 9 and clamping sleeve 3 may be affixed by any known means to their respective recesses. It is specifically noted that the clamp elements may be removably mounted such that mere removal and replacement of each ramp element 180 from its prior position will enable the device to be switched from the pressure actuated spring released embodiment to the spring actuated pressure released embodiment.
While we have described a present preferred embodiment of the invention, it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto but may be otherwise embodied and practiced within the scope of the following claims.

Programme Book + Assets
Glyndebourne is a unique opera festival located in the countryside of South East England. I have had the pleasure to collaborate with Creative Director and designer Ned Campbell to produce the programme book for five years.
A big part of my work here consisted in making sure everything looked great. This meant bringing many pictures to life while preserving its character and authenticity.
Setting up type with precision and layouts with millimetric attention to detail was also required for this fine job.


text: I once became fearless, that I'm not afraid of anything except god. The future, the present and even death. At this moment, it seems like the table had turned, looks like I'm afraid of everything. I must seek that moment. Grasp it, hold it tight, and just maybe life would be easier.


text: This hooked rug is the product of a lot of [procrastinated] work.....that is going to be publicly recognized as a mother-daughter project. That is, a Mel & Maya project.

I've been wanting to get a Cricut for awhile now, and I told Darling Husband I'd like one for Christmas. I know I at least want the Explore Air 2, but I'm not sure if it's worth the extra money to get the Maker.
The main benefit I've heard of the Maker is that you can cut leather and thicker materials like that, but I don't really know what any other benefits of it are. If it was only an extra $50 or so, I'd just tell him I'd like the more expensive one no questions asked, but it's an extra $150.
I'm mainly wanting one to be able to cut vinyl, and I plan on maybe eventually opening an Etsy shop once I get more comfortable with using it. I'm just trying to decide if there would ever be something that I want to make that I would need the Maker for.
Do any of yall have a Cricut? which one do you have? Does it do the things you want it to do, or are there features that another model has that you wish you had? Thanks in advance!

Battle Warfare, Tactics and Strategies in WW1 for Kids
For Kids
War is never pleasant. But World War I was extremely bloody, with more death and destruction than ever before. Prior to World War I, battles were fought with sabers and canons and guns that shot a few bullets before reloading was necessary. During World War I, the invention of new strategies and weapons caused mass destruction. Most new techniques were unsuccessful, which also cost lives. Over 70 million men fought in World War I. About 15 million military and civilian people died. The United States lost about 100,000 people. Britain, Russia, Germany, and Austria-Hungary suffered collective losses in the millions. France lost a generation of young men. France also suffered enormous property damage as most of the war on the Western Front was fought on French soil.
New Invention, Machine Guns: During World War I, a water-cooled machine gun was invented. This was used as well as air-cooled machine guns. These guns could fire hundreds of bullets in a rapid stream before reloading. The water-cooled machine gun did not need time to cool down and could be used continuously. The use of both guns allowed attacks and casualties to be bigger and more devastating than ever before. The machine gun is still an important weapon in use by the military today.
New Invention, Fighter Planes: Planes were still primitive and limited during World War I, but the military recognized their potential. Armed with machine guns, fighter planes could cause a great deal of damage. They could also raise spirits of the fighting men on the ground. Men in the trenches could look up and see their fighter planes overhead. World War I pilots became known as "Knights of the Sky". Their goal was not to shoot enemy pilots but rather to shoot down enemy planes. If the pilot died as a result, that was war. But should an enemy pilot live through a crash, and be able to be seen alive on the ground, it was custom to fly over a nearby enemy encampment and drop a note letting them know that one of their pilots had lived through a crash. Some very famous pilots fought in WWI, pilots like the German pilot, the Red Baron.
New Invention, Zeppelins: Zeppelins were huge manned balloons, filled hydrogen to make them fly. They were used by the German army to make bombing raids on England.
New Invention: Tanks: Tanks were primitive during WWI. Many broke down, but some made it through enemy lines, causing great destruction of manpower and property.
New Invention, Poison Gas: A poison gas, a type of mustard gas, was invented in World War I. To fight this, the gas helmet was invented.
U-Boats: Submarines had first been invented in the late 1800s. They were still in their infancy in 1915 when the Germans began using submarines, called U-Boats, to sink ships from freighters to passenger liners. One of the most famous sinking was a U-Boat attack on the unarmed passenger ship, the Lusitania.
New Form of Fighting, Trench Warfare: A new form of fighting in World War I was the use of trench warfare. Both sides dug trenches, which were deep ditches. Between 1914 and 1918, both sides built trenches. By 1918, trenches on both sides stretched for about 12,000 miles. There was a row of three trenches on both sides. There was the main trench, the reserve trench, and the rest trench. Inside the trenches men were somewhat protected from enemy fire. Men spent about 8 days in the main trench, then about 4 days in the reserve trench, and then about 4 days in the rest trench or even a rest camp if one had been established. This was true on both sides. Conditions in the trenches were horrible. Trenches offered protection, but they were also filthy and a breeding ground for disease. The Spanish Flu began in the trenches. This disease spread around the world after World War I, when troops were demobilized and sent home. About 50 million people died between 1918 and 1920 from the Spanish Flu.
No Man's Land. Technique: The Creeping Barrage: One technique commonly used was the creeping barrage. Men would crawl out of the trenches, creep outward for a bit, then open fire. Many millions of men died as a result of this unsuccessful military strategy. The open land between enemy trenches soon became known as No Man's Land, because no man could survive it. The military was not used to trench warfare. They were used to fighting face to face on open ground with sabers and rifles. Machine guns were new as well. It was a suicide mission to send men to crawl out of the trenches and face the other side on open ground, while the other side was tucked safely in a trench, armed with machine guns and canons. Yet, this technique, the creeping barrage, was used over and over during World War I.
Technique: The Artillery Barrage: Another technique used was the artillery barrage. The army used short bursts to kill as many of the enemy as possible in a short time. There was a rest period. And then the barrage began again. This was a tactic used to both kill and depress the enemy.

I had energy to spare yesterday. Two million bucks is what I felt like.
Up before 4:30 am, I had baked beans on the go by 5:30 am. (Onions chopped and bacon sliced without pain in hands.)
Put up a batch of Chocolate Peanut Butter Love Bars ... (Ingredients cut and chopped without pain.)
Then baked a batch of Hermit cookies ... (Both baking jobs mixed by hand, without pain!)
Stripped the bed, did laundry, remade the bed ...
Ran a load of dishes through the dishwasher ...
Cleaned up the kitchen from the baking frenzy ...
All before noon.
Later, when John commented on my productive day, I told him that it felt wonderful to want to do things again and actually be able to do them. The only repercussion of course was that my back had objected. But even that kind of felt good, in an odd sort of way.
Last evening, I went to bed very tired -- but it was the kind of tired a person should feel after putting in a day like I had. Sort of what a normal person would be like. (I almost remember when I used to be that way ... many years ago.)
Yesterday I took the last dose of the steroid. I wonder for how long I will retain the benefit of this therapy? I'm hoping it lasts at least through to the end of the month, for obvious reasons. (That long and beyond would be fabulous, to be sure.)
Today, I'm up before 3:00 am and I have to go into the big city this morning for a physio session. Then we have a Christmas Cheer outing to attend this evening -- a half hour's drive away. If I don't manage a nap this afternoon, it's going to be a very long day indeed!

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it was possible to see how many Pageviews different Service Providers have accumulated? I see how there are stats for Service Providers and the number of sessions they have, but was wondering if there was a way or place that showed the number of Pageviews that each has?

Agreed on the Zeppelin reunion. Would shell out a pretty penny for that one. And I've seen Robert Plant 3 or 4 times already. Good one
Prophets was a good show but they kinda took the rage out of RATM imo. And that DJ intro was one of the worst things I've ever heard. Laughably bad.
I feel ashamed to admit this, Because I should have seen them by now but Three of my favorite bands I haven't seen and wish I had already is Primus, NIN and Faith No More here is Australia.
Ive seen allot of live bands, but not these three and yet in my top 10 bands, how is that even possible? Deftones could have been on that must see but havent seen list but thankfully crossed that one off last year.
Feels for Soundgarden. I had tickets for the Monday show after he died. Luckily I went to see them with NIN on 2014 tour. So sad
For Aust members, am going to see Midnight Oil, John Butler trio and Something for Kate in Nov! Should rock
First JB album, 3... is a cracker, have a good one! I have tix to see Ministry, which should be ok too!

The Caregiver's Treasure
This morning, in the chilly half dark, I passed the houses along the route that leads to my favorite path. The acrid odor of burning electrical wires grew strong when I neared a ramshackle, uninhabited house that is the neighborhood eyesore. Yellow fire-scene tape, barely visible in the dim light, stretched along the chain link fence surrounding the property. I resolved to Continue Reading

More Fun with Husk Tomatoes!
As mentioned in a previous post, the husk tomato tastes sweet like a ripe cherry. These bursting little spheres are a bite-sized conundrum. Imagine a tomato that lacks that characteristic bitter flavor that makes a tomato a tomato and that pretty much sums up how one of these little suckers tastes.
Now, these delicious morsels are divine by themselves, but D and I have inquisitive foodie minds. So we decided to experiment with them -- by adding cheese... and, then, baking them like turnovers.
D dashed across the street to grab the missing ingredient: frozen puff pastry.
Originally, the plan was to bake the husk tomatoes in puff pastry. (Yum.) But, alas, our bodega's limited frozen dessert selection forced us to settle for the next best thing: Pillsbury Grands Biscuits.
I separated the biscuits as per the directions. But, the pre-cut proportions were too thick. Our poor little tomatoes would be swallowed in dough. So, we improvised. I divided the "Grands" once again, length-wise. Now, we'd have twice as many biscuits.
(Score! Left-overs for tomorrow's breakfast!)
Then, we rolled the mozzarella slices around the little yellow-green orbs and added salt and pepper to taste. We plopped each bundle onto its designated mini-Grand. Then, baked according to the directions on the obliterated air-sealed Pillsbury tube.
Approximately twenty minutes later:
Husk Tomato & Mozzarella Popovers!

I'm back at work, first day back from being so ill, and it is nice to see a computer and keyboard free and clear of clutter for me to get working with. However, I've run into that ethereal problem... something one the network is not playing ball.
The something today is the main source control server, which whilst I was checking out started to kick me off... Midstream, three attempts later and frustration mounting I e-mail IT. I've not talked to the general server bod, because last time I asked him about this exact problem - Monday before last - he fobbed me off with a load of Windows Server gibberish which didn't wash with my informed self.
But, being a good boy, and ex-IT minion I did the leg work for them I pinged the server, checked my connection, rebooted all virtual and physical machines and tried from another machine first.
Turns out the problems, all of them, are real, I can't connect to the main source control server, the main server bod was not aware of the problems and indeed I could not connect to the server. The reason being, on the first day of the week IT let themselves install all the Microsoft hot-fixes and patches to the server... without letting anyone know.
And, this being a Microsoft server, of course it doesn't tell any of its users - *cough* customers! - what its doing, it just reboots with installs and that's the end of that.
So that was why I've sat with my thumb in the air waiting for something useful to happen for the past hour... IT policy, sometimes a ball-ache, sometimes a balls up.

Strategic Directions for the Columbia University Libraries
Dear fellow members of the Columbia community:
Last year, I charged the Provost's Advisory Committee on the Libraries to work with Vice Provost and University Librarian, Ann Thornton, and her staff on the strategic direction of the University Libraries. I asked the Committee, a faculty and student group chaired by Jean Howard, the George Delacorte Professor in the Humanities, to consider Library priorities for the coming decade and to assess how the Libraries can further increase its effectiveness as a core part of Columbia's teaching and research mission.
The Libraries Committee has produced an outstanding report, which is available for download here. It includes recommendations that address fostering student success, supporting research and faculty services, and developing strategies for the development, management, and preservation of the Libraries' collections.
I invite all members of the Columbia community to review the report, and to send questions or comments to email@example.com. Committee members will be meeting with various University groups in the coming months to discuss the report and the ways in which the Libraries plans to act on the report's conclusions.
I thank Jean Howard, the Libraries staff, and the members of the Provost's Advisory Committee on the Libraries for their efforts in generating this report, and I look forward to receiving your feedback.
John H. Coatsworth

Use powerful imagery to write your own 'Magic Box' poem that paints a picture in the mind of the reader
I will put into the box …
The taste of yellow colours warm heat from covering gold.
Feeling green around grass, And people finding diamond from underground.
A rolex made out of pure gold.
I will put into the box …
The sword of gold getting shinier and shinier making light of some plastic to appear.
The fist of fire lightening up the night sky making it easier to find colour of wisdom.
Feeling the touch of gowns of vines growing higher up a palm tree slowly covering it .
I will put into the box …
The process of an orange getting bigger and bigger
A leaf touching sunlight for the first timeA treasure long buried, which has yet to see the sun.
My box is fashioned from gold drops, lapis lazuli and diamond, with a rolex on the lid and cash in the corners.
Its hinges are enormous locks, to prevent things from being stolen
I shall play games in my box
Today and yesterday I have being working on a task called Magic box poem. We had to right a poem into the I will put on the box and imagine what was happening. I have being working with my buddy Calvin and had completed the work.

In keeping with the undercurrent of a theme running through a few of my favorite blogs by homeschoolers I present the following song, Science of Myth by the mighty punk rock lords Screeching Weasel.
Homeschoolers are a subset of the population as a whole, and to further divide us many find that there is a further division between Christian and secular. The Christian side of this division would be more accurately characterized as evangelical fundamentalist, or a term I find fairly descriptive, exclusionist. The secular side does in fact include many Christian people as well as atheist and all points in between.
It's almost funny that the secular side is so much more inclusive and open than the Christian side, especially as they're condemnatory nature likes to suggest that it is we secular hsers who are not open.
So, I present you with a song that I feel sort of plays into this discussion, and I include the lyrics below the player for those of us unable to tease the words out of the noise.
if you've ever questioned beliefs that you hold you're not alone
but you oughtta realize that every myth is a metaphor
in the case of christianity and judaism there exist the belief
that spiritual matters are enslaved to history
the buddhists believe that the functional aspects override the myth
while other religions use the literal core to build foundations with
see half the world sees the myth as fact
while it's seen as a lie by the other half and
the simple truth is that it's none of that and
somehow no matter what the world keeps turning
somehow we get by without ever learning
science and religion are not mutually exclusive
in fact for better understanding we take the facts of science and apply them
and if both factors keep evolving
then we continue getting information
but closing off possibilities makes it hard to see the bigger picture
consider the case of the women whose faith helped her make it through
when she was raped and cut up left for dead in a trunk her beliefs held true
it doesn't matter if it's real or not cause
some things are better left without a doubt
and if it works then it gets the job done
somehow no matter what the world keeps turning

We don't have cable or satellite at our house, but we do have great channels like MeTv and RTV and This. They carry the great old shows like the Rifleman, the Dick Van Dyke Show, and the Brady Bunch. A nice variety of styles and decades. On This tv they show old movies, and they are fun to watch. Yesterday I only caught the tail end of a movie starring Vincent Price. He was flying over the earth bombing it from a "spaceship" which looked like a metal dirigible. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it did get me interested in steampunk again. So let's go see what I can find.
First I stopped at HandmadeArtists.com and did a simple search using the keyword steampunk, and this little guy popped up on the first page. I love this "Face of Steampunk" bracelet. He looks surprised, hahahaha. This is a unisex bracelet and can be found in the shop of Uniqlets. You really should visit this shop, the artist uses vintage pieces to create amazing jewelry. You won't find pieces like these anywhere else.
Over on Etsy.com the search brought me this Steel Metallic Finish Steampunk Goggles. Kind of cool, huh? Great to wear, or just use as decor, this is handmade by Dr. Sharp in his shop. And with that little led light, this would be a cool night light for your kids to use on their nightly bathroom trips. LOL
And this last one I found just doing a google search on handmade steampunk...
This is a real working desk...with a fully functional PC, LCD screens, cameras, and keyboard. I love it! Totally would not fit with my normal home decor, but how cool would it be to take care of business sitting in front of this desk. I found this on the blog Hometone.com but the link to the desk does not work. :0(
Do you create anything steampunk? I've added a link widget to this post, so you can share your steampunk creations. And if you know the name of the Vincent Price movie that started me on this journey, please let me know.
Be blessed,

On 11.6.15 by KieronMoore in Buster Keaton, Film, silent cinema, The Big Picture, The General No comments
A masterpiece in both daring comic performance and narrative simplicity. We've all recently praised Mad Max: Fury Road for playing out a simple chase movie concept to maximum effect, and The General is the silent comedy equivalent.
A point I didn't make on that Big Picture piece: it's a bit disconcerting how we're on the side of the South in the American Civil War, when any film today wouldn't dare to portray them as anything other than the slavery-supporting baddies. Still, the politics is hardly relevant; it's all about that train.
