Mr. Penumbra's 24 Hour Bookstore, by Robin Sloan
The book follows Clay, a twenty-something graphic web designer who was working for a bagel company in San Francisco before getting laid off by the Great Recession. Desperately seeking some sort of job just so he can pay rent, Clay takes a job as the night clerk at Mr. Penumbra's bookstore, working from ten pm to six am. However, Penumbra's store is rather odd, even for an independent bookstore. There is only a small selection towards the front of the store and it's eclectic at best. A smattering of science-fiction, fantasy, history, romance, and other subjects are available but Penumbra doesn't seem terribly concerned with making his bookstore profitable. The majority of the bookstore is taken up by shelves upon shelves of mysterious books Clay has never seen before. Furthermore none of these books are ever sold. Instead strange individuals come in, a book in hand, and exchange it for another from the mysterious shelves. When Clay finally investigates these books they all appear to be written in gibberish, suggesting something more serious is going on at Penumbra's store.
I was disappointed with this book for a couple of reasons. First, the book has a definite old tech vs new tech theme and I'm not sure Sloan really knows what side of the argument he was trying to come in on. As Clay gets more involved he discovers that there is conflict in the secret society of cryptographers. On the one hand there are the traditionalists who eschew any ''modern'' technology and advocate using only books, pen, and paper. On the other hand are members more willing to incorporate new technology in their quest and believe that computers may be able to break codes that they've been unable to solve for centuries. Plus there's the fact that Clay, a web designer and programmer of some ability, is working in a store that sells physical books. It seems like the book is almost designed for an old tech vs new tech conflict.
The problem is I feel like Sloan introduces this, but doesn't capitalize on it as much as he could. The strongest advocates of old tech are the antagonists in this book, who want to keep information locked up and sealed away, rather than shared with the whole population. While the protagonists, who want to share information with the world, are advocates of new technology. Computers, e-readers, algorithms. Heck, one of them works for Google for crying out loud. (And in my opinion Sloan practically cheerleads for Google through the book, depicting it as a magical place where anything is possible and brilliant people get to work on the most interesting things all the time. I'm not saying that's impossible, but I'm sure the truth is far more complicated than Sloan paints it.)
And the weirdest thing is it's actually old tech that ends up winning the day. Google and their mighty army of computers are unable to break the cipher which has frustrated an army of cryptographers for centuries. But when it comes to finally solving the code, Clay doesn't have to do anything fancy. He uses a combination of a cryptic hint from someone who broke the code before, and some really low tech to finally break the code and reveal it to the world. And this is where I start to think that Sloan doesn't know a lot about cryptography. Because at the end of the book part of the big reveal is that the secret everyone's been trying to solve has been hidden with a simple substitution cipher all this time.
Let me take a moment to talk a little bit about cryptography. I actually had to go to some friends because I know basically nothing about cryptography and I actually am very bad at pattern recognition so solving puzzles is not exactly my forte. But here's what I was able to glean. First, a substitution is a code so basic it's not even really a code anymore. Every letter is substituted for another within the alphabet. So A might be replaced with N. These codes are very simple to make, but they're also incredibly easy to break as well, this is because certain letters show up with different frequencies in the English language. And the longer the message, the more data you get on which substitutions seem the most common.
If you're given a five letter word in a substitution cipher, such as ALZCU, it's basically impossible to crack. This is because there are a large number of five letter words with no repeating letters it could be. The word could be bagel, stock, plain, phone, nymph, hover, barge, rocky, boxed, or any other number of words that fit the pattern. With no more data, we have no way of verifying whether our guess is correct. But as more letters are added, it becomes much easier to crack a substitution cipher and the longer the message the easier it becomes. Once you get to a manuscript, which is what they're trying to decode in the book, I was told it'd be ridiculously easy to crack a substitution cipher.
There's a scene in the book where Clay, with the help of his girlfriend Kat, who works at Google, manages to get the entire manuscript they're trying to decode digitized and gives it to a bunch of Google programmers to crack. And yet Google, with all their mighty technology, fails at trying to crack this Renaissance era code. Granted, they'd have to be told it was a substitution cipher in the first place, but I'd assume that would be one of the first things anyone would try considering the age of the material. With a simple substitution cipher, any reasonably modern computer should have cracked it so quickly as to be instantaneous. Heck, one of my friends said he could break a substitution cipher with just a graphing calculator. Or if he had to, by hand given enough scrap paper.
All of this makes absolutely no sense considering a dedicated group of cryptographers have been trying for centuries to break this code and have presumably dozens if not hundreds of pages of text to work from. Even with cryptographers you'd think they'd have the sense to try as many variations of substitution ciphers as they could and sooner or later they'd stumble on something.To have an entire society of cryptographers and the computing power of Google stumped by a simple substitution? It beggars the imagination.
There's also some super weird stuff which doesn't make me terribly comfortable with this book as well. A lot of it sounds like a hipster programmer's wildest fantasies come true. There's a lot of people with kale products, all the young protagonists rock-climb, everyone uses Apple computers, stuff like that. (Although it could just be a West Coast thing.) There's also a character who's a millionaire and he's a millionaire because he created the very best jiggle-physics program in the world. Like, literally, the book spends far more time than it should on detailing just how great this guy's program making boobs look realistic in videogames is. And then he goes and tries to get a textile museum to do an exhibit about women in sexy sweaters. I felt like Sloan was trying to make it funny, but it just comes across as really darn creepy.
The result is I was rather disappointed in this book. There was a great opportunity with new technology versus old technology and how maybe the new technology gets you there faster, but do you really understand what you've discovered? And also a theme of people who want to keep information restricted and controlled, versus people who want it to be free and accessible to everyone. But Sloan doesn't really capitalize on those themes in the book. The result is a rather bland mystery that seems to get basic ideas of cryptography wrong. Overall I don't think I'd recommend it.

|Oooooh sparkly!
Another exciting thing happened this week: I ate grasshoppers and mealworms!
The grasshoppers actually tasted really good! I´m 100% prepared for a future filled with lots of little insects on my plate.
Another thing I´d like to share with you guys today is this anatomical heart I crocheted today! I had to improvise the entire thing, but I think it turned out pretty good. I´m planning on doing more similar themed things.

Stoke City have officially completed the permanent signing of Dutch international defender Bruno Martins Indi from Porto after the player spent last season on loan at the bet365 Stadium.
Martins Indi, who played 35 Premier League games for the club in 2016/17, has signed a five-year contract with the Potters and the transfer fee has been publicly disclosed at €7.7m.
👀🌳 Tree people assemble...#BrunosBack#SCFC 🔴⚪ pic.twitter.com/hWATKvaG2e— Stoke City FC (@stokecity) August 11, 2017
It had actually been expected earlier in the summer that Martins Indi might return to England to join Crystal Palace instead after Stoke appeared to reach an impasse in talks with Porto.
However, a breakthrough was made in the last few days and the 25-year-old, who helped the Netherlands finish third at the 2014 World Cup, has now signed on the dotted line.
"We are delighted to have secured a deal to bring Bruno to the club in a permanent transfer and I know that Bruno feels the same," Stoke chief executive Tony Scholes told StokeCityFC.com.
"Bruno loved being with us last season and made no secret of his desire to move here permanently when his loan spell came to an end. We've had to be patient in our dealings with Porto but we're really pleased with the outcome."

After various problems and lack of time the 100-6 is finally running and driving on the road again. I made the first ride yesterday for approx 20 miles without problems. However today there were some issues. One with fuel supply for which i will open another thread and tis one about the electrics.
As it was becoming dark i noticed, that the parking lights and rearlights didn't work. Strangely enough the headlights did. When I parked the car ( the light switch was off but the ignition still on. The rearlights started to burn. Even when i took the inition key off the lights kept burning. I have switched off the master switch to "stop"the lights burning.
Are there any ideas what the problem could be and how to solve it

There's no 'I' in team
The power of the underdog: what England's defeat against Iceland in Euro 2016 tells us about teamwork.
The recent England vs Iceland football match was notable for many reasons. Primarily because England lost the game to the 'underdogs', Iceland: a country with a total population of only 333,000 – the equivalent population density of Wakefield in West Yorkshire.
But one of the things that really got spectators talking was the fully co-ordinated, almost tribal, Iceland supporters' chant. Endless YouTube views later, and the timing of the slow claps and the loud 'ooh' still seem so impressive.
More than that though, it was the sheer collectivism of the both the Iceland supporters and their beloved players that really struck a chord. Their reprisal of the chant at the end when the victorious players faced their adoring fans, completely reinforced this.
The concept of 'strength in numbers' has never been more apt. While the England team arguably has many stars in the ranks, commentators have frequently lamented the lack of a cohesive team spirit.
Iceland's players are famous for their spirit of kinship, which may stem from the fact that Iceland is a small country. In addition, most of the players have day jobs, so it's likely they spend their free time in the same pubs and restaurants as their adoring fans. There's no hierarchy between the idols and their devotees.
Communication first
But even big professional sports teams have found ways to create a familial atmosphere. In America, the Golden Gate Warriors basketball team uses very practical off-court practices such as frequent team lunches, carpooling, and 'players-only' group-texting to encourage open and honest dialogue. They also make a habit of taking ownership for their mistakes, rather than apportioning blame.
The Warriors' culture and philosophy has helped make them record-breaking NBA champions. Their focus on communication and commitment to collaboration makes them a formidable force.
In the world of internal communications and employee engagement, we know that high-performing organisations are powered not just by exceptional individuals but also by strong, balanced teams. The currency of these outstanding teams is open and honest communication.
Breaking away from operating in silos and adopting innovative approaches to communication – such as Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs) – can help facilitate that all-important team spirit which underpins collective success.
Similarly, the kids that grew up playing football together in Iceland's largely egalitarian society have matured into a team in which they readily acknowledge that every player, no matter how talented, must work hard. No one can afford to take a back seat.
As Iceland manager (and part-time dentist) Heimar Hallgrimsson puts it: "Everybody knows that we can never win a game with 11 individuals." The same philosophy can be readily applied to the workplace and internal communications.

For fifteen minutes each night a portal opens in Tamara's barn and a horde of ghosts spills into her yard. She and Dex work together to find a way to help Cal and the thousands of spirits stuck in the void to cross over. When she learns she has the ghost touch—the ability to touch the ghosts as if they were corporeal—and she accidentally helps a little boy cross, she believes it might be possible. But not all the spirits play nice and when they learn they can sip energy from her ghost touch, they become greedy putting her life at risk.
Each time Cal has to pull her from the mass of ghosts, her touch restores him more and more until he is at danger of being stuck on earth—forever, which is very enticing to Tamara the better she knows him. Will she and Dex figure out how to help the spirits cross and if they do, will she be able to let Cal go?
What an amazing book I absolutely loved it and could not put it down. I loved all the characters including the kind of evil creepy ghost that stalked
Im getting ahead of myself I am just so excited about this book and having the chance to review it.If I could give this 10 stars not 5 I so would. That's how much it reeled me in and I fell in love with it.
Tamara is the girl with the Ghost Touch. She has no idea about the paranormal or that she even has this gift until thousands of ghosts show up in her barn 6 months after her mom has passed away.
Cal the cowboy ghost is really a wonderful caring heartfelt character and even though he keeps secrets you just cant help but love him.
And Dex oh Dex what can you not say about him. He is Tamara's coworker that is into the paranormal. He is just adorable, his giant frame and muscular body and add to that his long blond hair. The fact he is so excited and hyper and kinda nerdy about everything he finds out. Its just so funny and cute.
This author is definitely one I will be looking forward to reading future books. One of the best authors by far that I have encountered.
If you enjoy paranormal novels with ghosts or romantic paranormal you will most definitely need to read this its just amazing.
10 stars hehe just because I loved it that much.
LA Dragoni isn't too particular about who falls in love or where they fall in love. She simply considers it her job to capture the story about their love. Whether it's paranormal, mythical, or time travel, LA will be there to divine their story for you.

La Posada Providencia Is…
La Posada a shelter for refugees and immigrants. It is in San Benito, Texas. The address here is La Posada Providencia, 30094 Marydale Road, San Benito,TX 78586,
The La Posada answers the biblical call to "Welcome the Stranger." See their web site for inspirational insight into their services, https://cdpsisters.org/la-posada-providencia)
Main Task
Their web site indicates that La Posada provides a safe, nurturing environment to immigrants, asylees, and asylum seekers who have come to the United States seeking safety, protection, and a better life. All shelter residents are in the process of seeking legal refuge in this country. La Posada has welcomed people from more than 70 different countries.
La Posada's Extended Goals
On the web site, you will read that their goals extends beyond shelter to helping their clients adjust quickly to United States' culture. Clients participate in life skills and English language lessons and receive personalized case management and transportation.
I teach English as a second language under the guidance of Sister Therese of The Convent of the Holy Spirit from Ireland. My main tasks are involved in helping to offer these extended goals. Each day clients are offered the opportunity to learn English and are exposed to the culture in the United States.
Our lessons this week included prepositions denoting position. Students learned to read and understand such prepositions as: at, across, in, on across, under, below and above.
Since Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday was this week, we learned why our country celebrates his birthday as a national holiday.
Like those who marched with Dr. King, my prayer is that these new citizens of the United States will "overcome some day."
To Think About
As noted above, the English lessons I taught this week were in part the prepositions of position. "On and In," the concepts in these small words were part of a study from an E. Stanley Jones' book, The Way to Power and Poise. "On" also showed up as part of the United Methodist Women Daily Prayer Calendar and Bible Reading Guide. These resources helped me to realize the difference between "on and in" as they relate to the Holy Spirit.
When Samuel anointed the shepherd boy David as king, the Spirit came on him for the task of his kingship. However, in the New Testament we have the truth that the Holy Spirit is in us.
The Bible tells about the difference the experience of Pentecost made on Jesus' disciples. With the Holy Spirit in, they became contagious Christians transforming the world.
The Holy Spirit precipitates a crisis! The Holy Spirit convinces of us sin, not believing and not making Christ the center of our lives. Convinces us of righteousness, the righteousness we might have had if we had totally surrendered and walked our way, in the Way.
Let's praise God that because of Jesus on the cross, evil met its match and is defeated. "The ruler of this world is judged."
On our way, in The Way, let's pray for immigrants and refugees!

Christians in parts of the Middle East are being deliberately targeted by Islamist militants in a campaign of persecution, Prince Charles has said.
The Prince of Wales made his comments after visiting the British branches of churches based in the region.
The prince heard accounts of Christians being murdered and families forced from their homes.
The upheavals of the Arab Spring have left many religious minorities vulnerable to accusation and attack.
Deeply troubled
Charles, accompanied by Prince Ghazi of Jordan, visited the Egyptian Coptic Church centre in Stevenage and the Syriac Orthodox cathedral in west London.
The two royals met church members who had either suffered intimidation or family members whose safety they feared for.
**Later at a reception at Clarence House, attended by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop of Westminster and the Chief Rabbi, Prince Charles said he felt deeply troubled by the plight of Christians.
"For 20 years I have tried to build bridges between Islam and Christianity to dispel ignorance and misunderstanding," he told the audience.
"The point though, surely, is that we have now reached a crisis where bridges are rapidly being deliberately destroyed by those with a vested interest in doing so.
"This is achieved through intimidation, false accusation and organised persecution including to the Christian communities in the Middle East at the present time."**
Wary relationship
The Coptic Church traces its origins back to the 1st Century when it was founded by the apostle St Mark.
The Syriac Orthodox Church says it was established by St Peter who became its first bishop.
Christians living in the Middle East have often had a wary relationship with their Muslim neighbours.
The Arab Spring though has led to an upsurge in violence with many Christians fleeing the region to avoid attack.
In Egypt, violence against the Copts increased after the military overthrow of Muslim Brotherhood President Mohammed Morsi.
Hundreds of church properties, homes and businesses were attacked and looted.
Many Islamists accused the Christian community of playing a role in President Morsi's downfall after the Coptic Pope Tawadros II publicly backed the country's new military rulers.

☩ HARMONIZE WITH THE ELEMENTS | Visionary Sound Journey ☩
In ancient times, scientists, philosophers, and Magi divided matter into four basic elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. It has been said that these elements are the building blocks of life.
Witches honor the elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit, and their associated direction of North, East, South, West and Center in the Sacred Circles where rituals are held and spells are executed.
These five elements of Magick are crucial to understanding the various spells and entire esoteric culture surrounding Magick. Since most Magick comes from Paganism, it is no wonder that these elements weigh heavily in Magick due to their naturalistic powers. These elements are what makes the world go round and are the reason which all matter exists.
The idea is that nature and the Self are equal. The four seasons of a year can be compared to the four stages of human life; birth, growth, maturity, and death. We can utilize these five elements as dimensions of psychic and Spiritual growth.
The natural way would be to strive to achieve an equal proportion of each. Understanding the psychic energies of these elements can help us balance our lives and experience greater harmony. If you know which elements to call upon and how to connect with them, you can manage whatever life throws your way much more easily.
☩ HARMONIZE WITH THE WHALES | Visionary Sound Journey ☩
Meditate to enchanting melodies united with the mysterious and heart-warming songs of the humpback whale to invoke a tranquil sense of serenity, sending you on an inward journey to the soul of our planet Earth. Whale Meditation is an excellent way to bring stillness to the mind and open the heart, making this one of a kind event perfect for community meditation, relaxation and deep connection through the art of guided sound healing.
Whales and dolphins are highly evolved spiritual beings and joining this sound meditation with them is a beautiful invitation to go deeper inside and remember who we truly are as they show us exactly what we need, expanding our awareness, and have the ability to communicate with us telepathically.
There are many Guardians and Spirit Helpers busy right now, the primary one being the Archangels and the Dolphin/Cetacean Angels.
The Dolphin Angels are Beings of Light that come from the Andromeda Galaxy via Sirius to work with the Earth. They carry the Golden Light Frequency of the Christ Consciousness, as well as the Diamond Light Frequency that is needed for Multi-Dimensional travel. They are Guardians and Masters of the Time Loops and Time Spirals that are the basis for a Mastery of Time Travel and Creation in the HIgher Frequencies. Their Loving energy is assisting Humanity to begin the Mastery of Time Travel and Higher consciousness.
☩ HARMONIZE WITH THE UNICORNS | Visionary Sound Journey ☩
The Unicorn is the most magickal of all animals. They can easily shift between the invisible worlds and spiritually the unicorn symbolizes success. If you summon the power of a unicorn, the unicorn will give you the blessings of success in whatever you pursue. The meaning of the unicorn is all about opening up to infinite possibilities and that infinite possibilities surround you and really do exist, even when you cannot see them. Unicorn gives us the eye to see these unlimited possibilities and may grant us the wisdom to pursue them.
Unicorn energy is of a high vibration which removes negative energy. The mystical form of the unicorn is an archetype of purity and innocence. They are crystalline by nature and are here to assist your travel between worlds. While unicorns are still considered mythical, there's a lot of historical evidence that they once roamed the earth as real physical animals. Unicorns help us to access and express our creative inner child, which enthusiastically sees unlimited possibilities. Many successful people have learned this ancient secret of working with unicorns for creative inspiration.
Kat crafted this guided sound meditation with the open heart intentions of deeply connecting you with her Unicorn Spirit Guides, you may even be granted the knowledge of their name, potentially meeting your very own Unicorn – Animal Spirit Guide. Through the use of high frequency technologies, Reiki, and activation of the Language of Light, guided by Source Creator, together we will integrate fully the pure essence of these magickal creatures.
Archangels are extraordinary beings, extensions of Source Creator, personifying grace and majesty and power. All the archangels are healers. They come as master surgeons to repair our bodies, even as they mend the garments of our souls. There is no field of study in which they do not excel. With the Elohim, they exercise the power to create or uncreate life.
The title "archangel" is given to those who became masters of their worlds "as Above, so Below" and that of "archeia" to their feminine complements. In order to earn this office, many who are now archangels had to embody in human form, experiencing the same tests as the sons and daughters of God. However, there were some who remained in the heaven-world and never took embodiment in the physical octave.
During this visionary sound journey, you will experience the pure essence of 8 Archangels.
☩ HARMONIZE WITH THE FAERIES | Visionary Sound Journey ☩
The idea of calling the elements into our Sacred circles is carried over from the days when Traditionally the faeries were asked to participate in our magick. But elemental faeries are not merely the four alchemical elements of earth, air, fire, and water. We do them and ourselves a great disservice when we merely call them to witness our circles. These faeries have personality and individuality. They are fully sentient beings with feelings and rights. Think of that the next time you call them to your circle space. It will greatly enhance your experience. Elemental faeries can, and often will, aid human work, ritual, and magick if approached properly.
Visionary Priestess, Kat Von Greye has created a deeply bonded connection with the Faerie Realm and Elemental Kingdom. She will be offering a guided sound journey through the Forest of Dreams for those who feel called to connect.

The external reality we experience in our daily lives is a holographic projection of consciousness or energy that is constructed through the use of thought. Because matter makes up our external reality, it is also a holographic projection of energy. This also means that our bodies are created the same way because they are made of matter. The fundamental definition of the human body is a system that is created through holographic projections of energy. The form and evolution of the human body is governed by its own morphogenetic field. This living thought form field acts like a template upon which matter is manifested. It also allows consciousness to create structure so that it can experience itself.
… A hologram is similar to a photograph but is three dimensional and multidimensional in nature. Within any point in a holographic image, no matter how small, all knowledge of the whole image is present. In other words, it has the potentiality of projecting the whole from which it emerged.
… If scientists dig deeper into the structure of DNA, they should be able to discover that DNA is the digital data imprint of the other living portions of our identities and is not bound to linear time and local space. They should also find out that DNA is the key to retrieving cellular memory because it allows our consciousness to become aware of experiences in other time continua. In other words, it can help expand our consciousness and perceptual field beyond three dimensional space. If scientists start to understand how DNA truly works, they may even one day discover that DNA is one of the key elements that create our external reality.
Sound also plays an important role in healing our body, because nature uses sound to organize matter into structures and sacred geometry. In other words, sound is one of the fundamental energy forces that nature uses to create life. At the fundamental levels, the structures of our body and its performance are heavily influenced by sound. For visual evidence of how sound creates sacred geometry and life, read this empowering article titled Frequency and Vibration: How They Create the Structures of Matter and Life.

Friday night's football game against Belchertown was a win for Mt. Greylock. The final score of the game was 48-8. The team improved to 2-1 with this win, previously beating Drury. Senior captain Sean Mccormack made the game's first touchdown. "The highlights of the game were a two-point conversion by Cal Messina and interception by Sean McCormack", said junior, Tyler Carnevale. "There really wasn't much of a low point to the game. We were up most of the game, which gave us motivation to keep fighting and scoring." Going into the game not knowing what to expect from the opposing team, Mt. Greylock gave it 110 percent, even after the first half. Knowing they were up by so much, the team kept giving it their all under the friday night lights. As senior captain, Cole Seaman, states, "The team started off strong, scoring on our first drive. We continued to apply pressure to Belchertown and they just folded. We were powerful up front contributing to our establishment of the running game." With their next game on Friday, hopefully Mt. Greylock (2-1) will bring as much power and determination as they did from their past games to beat Lee.

Australia Day Drama 98 mins MA15+
On a sunny Australia Day in the suburbs of Brisbane three young people are running for their lives. An indigenous girl fleeing a car crash is pursued by the police; an immigrant teenager wrongly accused of molesting a girl tries to escape her thuggish brother; a young Chinese woman who arrives to learn English realises she has been lured into sexual slavery. The pace never slackens as the three interweaving stories unfold. Popular actor Bryan Brown plays a farmer, with his own troubles, who comes to the aid of the Chinese girl. Smartly directed by Kriv Stenders (who made the hit Red Dog) this film examines the racism that lurks not far below the surface, demanding that we confront this aspect of national identity on our day of celebration.

Deep Water, Deep Trouble
The oil industry must rethink risk management procedures
While there has been no shortage of industries that have shown themselves to be susceptible to a variety of risks in the past year, the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico, which claimed 11 lives, illustrates the unique challenges facing the energy industry as it tries to tap deposits in deeper and more hostile environments.
Technological advances mean that previously inaccessible oil is now reachable. But that doesn't make it easy to extract. A mile under the water, at the kind of depths of...

Here's an inbox review and an out-of-the-box construction of the Italeri offering:
click to open in new tab
FBMinis conversion:
This was supposed to be a quick build but I ended up adding a lot of bits. I started with the doors inside detail, seats, steering wheel, parking brake, gear shifter, notek lights, exhausts and moved on to the front and rear axles, license plate and so on. Excess resin being sanded off:
The model was primed with Duplicolor automotive primer using an airbrush, then it receive a first layer of black to create some sense of depth to the following yellow layer. This was mixed from Tamiya's desert yellow, buff and white, protected by a coat of floor wax before the weathering washes with raw umber+black oil paints. The details were painted with Vallejo ModelColor paints.
I decided to add some figures to this project, just to put the car in context. Since this was a prototype, I thought showing 2 or 3 figures inspecting it would give a better sense of what's happening. The finished figure you can see here, was created using a plastic-figure core with copper-wire arms, all covered with Magic Sculpt using toothpicks shaped to my desire. Magic Sculpt is the best material I've encountered for this job: very fine, dries in a couple of hours, can be smoothed with rubbing-alcohol and a paintbrush...
These are some of the photos I used as reference:

Shard opens but still chases tenants
Feb. 1 - London mayor Boris Johnson has officially opened the observation deck of western Europe's tallest building, The Shard but the buildings office space and the apartments still remains empty. Hayley Platt reports.
An enthusiastic reception as London's mayor Boris Johnson officially opens Europe's tallest building to the public. At the very top, 800 feet up, is the observation deck. It's expected to attract thousands of visitors a year. And on a clear day it promises to offer spectacular views across the capital stretching as far as 40 miles. SOUNDBITE: Boris Johnson, mayor of London, saying (English): "I think it's a wonderful new attraction for London. What I love about it, is that it's not a sensational but there aren't any other buildings I know of where you can see all the bends in the river, it's like being in a plane except with the ability to walk around and look at the view." But at 25 pounds a ticket it doesn't come cheap. SOUNDBITE: Unidentified woman, saying (English): "I think it's well worth I, well worth it, good for tourism for London, yeah it is worth every penny." SOUNDBITE: Unidentified man and woman, saying (English): "It's amazing, just spectacular, a beautiful building and incredible view." Below the viewing platform are 30 floors of office space, all still empty. So far the Shard's biggest tenant is the 5 star Shangri-La hotel. The restaurant space has also gone. But the ten penthouse apartments - tipped to cost up to 50 million pounds each remain unoccupied. Property experts say prices for exclusive properties in central London have risen more than 40 percent in the last three years. The Shard's height has already set records. The next challenge is filling it.

Fight With William Russell
Dear Russell Brigade Member:
I doubt you're following the play-by-play in the 12th Congressional District, but it's the fight to watch!
Democrats have selected Mark Crist, one of John Murtha's staff members. Their criterion seemed to be aimed at identifying the one person who can best protect the status quo.
On the Republican side, Harrisburg and Washington insiders have been busy making the case for a candidate's "electability" or "viability" based on the potential congressman's personal wealth, and willingness to spend that wealth to get elected.
On one hand, these same Republican leaders are courting Tea Party and conservative reformers while undercutting them with charges that they are part of a "rebellion." 'Trust us,' they say – 'we'll reform the party ourselves.'
Friends, the tug-of-war between the grassroots and the political establishment is nothing new. In fact, whether the issue is the right-to-life, taxes, spending or national security, the Republican establishment has always tended to criticize the change agents before recruiting them for the next election.
The difference in 2010 is that we can't wait for the Republican establishment to get it right. Their selections in recent years are one of the key reasons Republicans have been unable to take advantage of the Democrat's ethical and management failures.
In 2010, we have to choose candidates with the record to match the rhetoric. That's why I need your support.
Here are three things you can do right now to help me get elected:
1. FILL OUT A VOLUNTEER PROFILE | There's no cost, and you'll receive the latest information about volunteer opportunities in your area.
2. GET A FREE BUMPER STICKER | Send your name and mailing address to firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll send you a FREE bumper sticker today.
3. WRITE A LETTER-TO-THE-EDITOR | If you live in the 12th Congressional District, please email a short endorsement letter on my behalf. You know my record, and my reasons for running – help me by making your message public!
Finally, thanks to the dozens and dozens of volunteers who circulated in the snow to get me on the ballot. I'm thankful for your hard work and perseverance.
With sincere thanks,
Bill Russell
Lt. Colonel (USAR ret.)
Republican Candidate for Congress
P.S. If you haven't made a CONTRIBUTION to my campaign lately – now would be a great time to do it! Your help in any amount would be a major boost to our efforts. Thanks in advance for your timely help.

Fijis involved in thefts
By Linda D'Angelo
Three Phi Gamma Delta members accused of stealing approximately $70,000 in computer equipment from MIT laboratories have been expelled from the fraternity, Fiji corresponding secretary Marc A. Indeglia '92 said.
The three former Fiji members "acted solely on their own behalf," Indeglia said. He added that the chapter is "actively working with MIT, our house corporation, and our national organization to insure that something like this can never happen again."
Fiji has submitted a proposal to its house corporation outlining what steps the chapter will take to prevent future incidents of theft, which reflect poorly on the fraternity as a whole, Indeglia said. He added that he did not know the status of the proposal and would not comment on specific details.
The executive director of the national chapter of Fiji, William Martin III, is working with the Office of the Dean for Student Affairs to resolve the case, Fiji regional officer John Mills said. He also contended that the three students acted independently from the fraternity and that the national was "not involved with the three students at all."
The three students are accused of stealing computers over the past year from the Technology Laboratory for Advanced Composites (TELAC), the Space Engineering Research Center (SERC) and a mechanical engineering laboratory in Building 3, Campus Police Detective Eugene H. Salois said. He added he was fairly certain that the students were tied to thefts in two other laboratories, but was waiting for positive confirmation. Salois declined to identify the other labs.
No criminal charges will be brought against the students, Campus Police Chief Anne P. Glavin said. Instead, the Dean's Office is handling the case internally, at the request of Associate Dean for Student Affairs James R. Tewhey, she explained.
Tewhey said he had no timetable for the case against the three students, but expected some resolution of the investigation within a week. He declined to comment on the reasons why the case has not been referred to Committee on Discipline.
Glavin said she expects Tewhey to ask the officers conducting the investigation to testify at the students' hearings, but would not comment on when those hearings might be held.
Campus Police detectives had been investigating the thefts since August, according to Salois. The investigation was stepped up in January when detectives were tipped off by an informant, who did not want to be involved in the investigation.
Glavin said that the Campus Police made the decision not to press charges against the three students because they could not establish probable cause without further involving the informant.
There were also problems with jurisdiction, Glavin said, which would make the case difficult to prosecute. "Aspects of the case with regard to recovering stolen property would take place in Boston, and we don't have jurisdiction there," she said.
"If the circumstances were different, we would have made criminal charges," Glavin said. "No one is willing to tolerate theft, so whenever we can, we will seek a criminal complaint and, at the very least, will request an internal hearing."
The Campus Police "are still investigating aspects of the case that could affect other students," Glavin explained. If anyone else is found to be involved in the thefts, the Campus Police will attempt to press criminal charges, she said.
COD not yet involved
The Committee on Discipline is not currently involved in the case, but Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Sheila E. Widnall '60, chair of the committee, said that she was involved in the decision on how the case would be handled.
Whether the COD or the Dean's Office hears a case as serious as the current one, neither body "acts with any real power," Widnall said. Instead, recommendations are made to the president, who ultimately decides what action will be taken.
Widnall stressed that if either the students accused of the theft or any of the individuals in the laboratories which were burglarized wish to appeal the recommendation that the Dean's Office will make to the president, they can bring the case before the COD.
"The COD handles only a small percent of cases, usually ones that involve issues of academic honesty or issues between faculty and students," Widnall said. Cases which involve clear wrongdoing by students do not need to be heard by the COD, she added.
The earliest incident of theft by the three students occurred at SERC last August. Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Edward F. Crawley '76, director of SERC, said that his laboratory lost about $12,000 worth of Macintosh equipment, some of which was federally owned and some owned by MIT.
Salois said he believed the total value of the equipment stolen in that incident was "closer to $15,000."
The three students also stole $16,000 in computer equipment from a mechanical engineering laboratory on the fourth floor of Building 3 last November, according to Salois.
Mechanical Engineering Lecturer James B. Grinnell Jr., who administers the lab, said all the equipment taken in this incident was owned by MIT. Because of the theft of "one third of the Macintosh IIs in the lab," the number of students able to take Visual Communication in Design (2.701) over IAP had to be cut from 18 to 12, according to Grinnell, who teaches the class. He added that it was "really sad that these students are affecting others' educations that way."
The third incident which has been clearly linked to the three students happened in January at TELAC. Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics Paul A. Lagace '78, director of TELAC, said the stolen equipment totaled about $15,000 and was all MIT property.
Through "discussion and cooperation with the students," Glavin said that almost all of the equipment had been retrieved. Efforts to locate the remaining equipment are ongoing, Glavin said.
Campus Police officers did not need a warrant to retrieve the stolen equipment, Glavin said. While officers are generally required to use warrants, Glavin said that details in this case, which she would not elaborate on, made a warrant unnecessary.
Student indicted in
previous theft case
The last time a student was accused of computer theft of this magnitude was in the fall of 1987, when Uche O. Ola '90 was caught in the act of stealing computer equipment. The Campus Police later found $50,000 in stolen equipment in Ola's room.
MIT pressed criminal charges and Ola was indicted on 32 counts of larceny by Middlesex Superior Court in 1988. After the case was brought to trial, Ola was brought before the COD, Glavin said.
Ola, an electrical engineering major who was scheduled to graduate in 1990, left the Institute in March, 1989 without a degree.
Glavin said that the Ola case differed from the current case because, unlike Ola, who was "caught in the act of theft," the three former members of Fiji "were not caught red-handed."

I'm hugely impressed by the support and loyalty coming from the Zerve community over the weekend. As I commented on this article by Tnooz, Zerve earned their loyal and passionate customer base through the hard way, with years of awesome customer support. As more and more competitors arrived, Zerve always operated with a high level of integrity and professionalism towards their competitors (including us).
Zerve was unique, and if you have been with them for a long time, you have slowly developed business processes around their features and solutions. You doubled down on their strengths and hacked around the places they were weak.
My one advice to those of you looking for alternatives is this: there is no supplier out there that is going to be able to do exactly what Zerve did as well as Zerve did it for your business.
It is going to be painful, and any of us who are promising we can do for you exactly what Zerve did are lying. The truth is: we can't.
We are not Zerve.
We solved some of the challenges differently, from a different angle, have different pricing, and put priority on different stages of the customer buying cycle.
It is going to be a short and painful process, but the good news is that there are a lot of solutions out there that have an awesome product. You should be able to get up and running again in a very short time. However, bear in mind that you will probably need to make some adjustments to some of your business processes.
My advice to tour and activity businesses:
- Start with a list of the key features Zerve had that were critical to the success of your business.
- Consider not just how the feature worked, but also what results it delivered you.
- Ask yourself, "have I built up a process in my business around "how" Zerve solved this or based on the result they delivered?"
- Consider how much effort and pain is required to adjust your internal processes.
- Now take your list of not more than 2-3 key features you absolutely need and go find the solution that does that the best for you.
- For the rest, be flexible, be willing to change how you operate, and make sure whoever you choose has customer support available to you NOW to help you get the most out of it.
With the frenzy that is going on right now amongst all the software companies who want your business, remember that you have power, and you can use it. The most valuable thing you can leverage out of them in a deal is more support to help with the transition.
Zerve was awesome, but there are other awesome solutions out there too. If you are willing to make some changes you might even come out ahead in a few weeks. Good luck during your transition, I am confident you will get all the support you need.

One of the benefits of 3D printing is its positive impact on the environment. As an additive manufacturing process, 3D printing uses fewer materials than traditional manufacturing. There's also the potential to greatly shorten (maybe even eliminate) the need for shipping vast distances or storing product excess.
But there's a simpler way 3D printing affects the environment: recycling.
Recycling Materials Used in 3D Printing
Plastics are common in 3D printing. And most of these plastics can be recycled and used again.
It's partially due to the nature of 3D printing. Materials are available in either powdered or filament form. These powders or filaments are combined with a glue to build the object layer by layer, or melted together. So materials often just need to be ground up into powder or extruded into filament in order to be usable yet again.
Recycle It Yourself
In fact, there are machines out there that allow you to do this recycling yourself. Three people developed the ProtoCycler to give themselves an "endless" supply of plastic filament. They wanted to continuously print their prototypes without having to spend all of their money on filament.
The Filabot is a similar machine. The Perpetual Plastic Project can be rented for parties or education events. Designed more like an attraction, the Perpetual Plastic Project allows you and your guests to break down plastics, turn them into 3D printing materials, and print something all in the same night.
There are drawbacks. Since several 3D printing processes rely on binding powder or filament with glue to build the layers, if you're recycling your old 3D printed items, there's eventually going to be more glue than plastic. This makes the finished item weaker.
Recycling Metals
Metals could be recycled as well (saving us from continually mining for raw materials). At this point, though, metals aren't as widely used in 3D printing as plastics. For many types of metals, we're still working on how to create the materials.
But the recycling process would be similar: melt down the metal we're recycling and reform it as powder (metals for 3D printing are most often available in powder form).
Materials Made with Recycling in Mind
One of the most popular materials available in 3D printing was made to be recycled: polylactic acid. Usually referred to as PLA, it's a plastic made from plants.
Yes, you read that right. No petroleum was used in the making of this plastic.
The process for making PLA starts with plants that are commonly available in the area (corn here in the US, maybe potatoes somewhere else). The sugars that are a natural byproduct of milling are fermented to turn them into lactic acid.
Water is removed to allow the molecules turn into lactide. The lactide is formed into a polymer once a metal catalyst is added.
Schools and toymakers love this plastic because it's non-toxic and available in many colors. But it's (lack of) effect on the environment goes much further.
Once the usefulness of an object made with PLA is over, the plastic can be turned back into lactic acid. That starts the whole process over again.
3D Printing and the Environment
3D printing isn't the perfect salvation for the environment…yet. But the technology is evolving, with many of its problems being tackled by established companies and startups alike.
As technology improves, recycling will likely become even more common in 3D printing. The cost savings of not having to buy more filament just to print another prototype alone is reason enough to have many users looking to recycle their materials.

As if you didn't love showering already, Lush Handmade Cosmetics is introducing the greatest soap invention of all time—and we've got to say, we're really geling with it.
The UK-based beauty brand is launching shower jellies, which are deliciously wobbly, seaweed gel-based soaps available at every Lush location. Each jelly is made from fresh ingredients such as fruit extracts, essential oils and vitamin juices to cleanse and nourish the skin.
We've got a little extra wiggle in our walk this morning, thanks to all the #showerjelly love we've been getting! We load our shower jellies with carrageenan extract to protect and nourish your skin, and it has the bonus effect of making them jiggly! With other refreshing ingredients like lemon, pine, cedar, and cinnamon, these wobbly cleansers will leave you ready to pump up the jam... or is it jelly? 😘
The soaps lather in water and still retain their shape no matter how much you poke them—which means you're probably going to get very wrinkly in the shower (but for a good cause).
Best of all, these soaps look like oodles of fun–just be sure not to take a bite while you're busy getting squeaky clean.
Check out the video below to see these shower jellies in action!

I bought some organic pears (not officially classed as organic but not sprayed) from the farmers market on Saturday and we decided to start a new food trial with Iyla right away. Like usual she loved it! But things haven't gone very well. There has been lots of screaming, not much sleep, spit up and horrible poo the last two days and today she completely refused to eat it. She put it in her mouth but screamed hysterically until i scraped every single bit out. We aren't giving her anymore.
We are giving her a few days break to get back to normal and then we are going to trial lamb.
Having to refuse her food is getting harder and harder the older she gets though. She wants what we eat so badly now and those pleading eyes are heartbreaking. Hoping and praying we can find more safe foods soon!!

I went for a run the other night. The kids were in bed and I had already been out for an interview and to Costco and J didn't have any plans. I ran down the main street in my neighbourhood, a 4K out-and-back route I've taken many times before. I've recently started running with just my water bottle. No music, no phone. Just me, the pavement, and hydration. It gives me lots of time to think.
I recently found the blog of a runner. She's a university student in Alberta. Something she wrote hit me hard. She said that it was her parents that showed her how to lead an active life. Her mom who either walked or ran every day, was her inspiration.
I always thought about being an inspiration for my kids. By showing them how to be active. But more often than not they see me cooking food or doing dishes or the laundry, or I'm making them be nice to each other and brush their teeth. I take them to watch J race the car or play baseball. I take them to run races of their own, but what do they really see me doing?
Up until recently my only time for exercise was after they went to bed. Now that they're getting older and needing me less, I can go other times, but I'm still their main caretaker during the day. I can't go to the gym at lunch without spending big bucks on childcare for them. I can't go for a run after work until J gets home.
But what I can do it make exercise part of my every day life. Really make it something I do every single day. And by doing so they will see me exercising more often and hopefully it will become habit for me. And while I ran, getting all sticky even though it wasn't that hot, I realized that the only time I can be sure to have to myself every single day is early morning. Stupid o'clock early.
So I got home from my run and watched some tv while I stretched in the cool basement and I set the alarm on my phone for 6:01am. That gives me just under 45 minutes until J leaves for work. 45 minutes to sweat. Having just run I knew that I had to do something else so I got my bike out of the shed and put it in the garage. I set out some workout clothes and I went to bed too late considering the time my alarm was set for.
I dreamed about waking up and exercising. I dreamed my bike tires were flat. I dreamed about the early morning glow.
And then I did it. I jumped out of bed after waking a million times to check the time. I ate half a banana, laced up my shoes, and put on my helmet. I hopped on my bike in the morning fog, bright but not yet sunny, comfortable but cool, and I pedalled 4K in the silence. And it was awesome.
I was definitely tired today, but I felt good. Tomorrow morning I'm either running or doing some yoga. I haven't decided yet, but I hope to keep this going even if I need to nap during the day until I can figure out how to get to bed before midnight.
When do you exercise? Who inspires you?

Some of the Show and Tell Saturday Participants are getting a head start on Halloween and I wanted to share them with you!
I sort of love love love this wreath from Write It Down:
And I can think of a hundred fun ribbons to use to hang it! Jack-o-lanterns, haunted houses, bats, just about anything!
Closet Crafter made (yes, I said MADE) this cute halloween cat statue:
My mother in law has a set of figurines just like this and I love that I now have a tutorial on how to creat my own!
And this with all of the ideas I love for halloween wreaths and how much I hate my front door, I think I will have to make something for each of the doors inside of my house. And this spooky tree from Delia Creates will be one of them:
Of course, you could just hang this one on the wall. You could even make a couple and have an entire forest of spooky trees in your house!

Living an artfull life through painting,making artisinal jams and gardening
And I know it's even more fabulous being in it.
Garden & Be Well, XO T
Loving your new bridge and your wonderful garden Stephanie. x
How to leave a silent comment?? Love your bridge and your wonderful garden! Clever Hubby, too! Hugs, Valerie
Not only do I love your new bridge (a definitely well designed Mother's Day gift), I also know why you would rather spend time in your garden. I've seen it before, but each time brings me more admiration for what you are creating out there. This is simply JOYFUL!
The new bridge is evocative of Monet's garden... perfect.
Your backyard is perfect!! It reminds me of my Mom's backyard, so private and peaceful. I'd be outside all the time if it was my backyard. :)
Gorgeous backyard! So peaceful! *sigh* Love the new bridge! ;)
GORGEOUS! Call me crazy (a given!), but I say a blend of (lily) orange and pink for the bridge :o) Can't wait to see what you do!

Chen dominates in the White Sox's Third Straight Loss/
John Danks gets out-dueled by notorious White Sox killer Bruce Chen as the White Sox drop their third straight game in a 4-3 loss.
Danks pitched well through the first three innings, giving up one walk and no hits but he ran into trouble in the fourth inning. After allowing the first Royals hit of the game to Infante to lead off the inning, Danks allowed three more singles in a row giving up one run in the process. Danks then walked Perez to load the bases prompting a mound visit from Don Cooper. The talk was obviously not helpful as Danks walked in the second Royals run on the next batter. Danks was lucky to only allow two runs as he struck out Cain and Escobar to end a long bottom of the fourth. He would give up one more run in the fifth inning on a Hosmer sacrifice fly.
Chen picked up where he left off last season with his domination of the White Sox lineup striking out seven batters over 6.1 innings while giving up no earned runs. The White Sox were able to score one run while Chen was on the mound on an error by Moustakas in the fifth inning.
The game really got interesting in the top of the eighth inning. After Semien singled to start the inning, Wade Davis hit Abreu with a pitch then walked Viciedo (!!) to load the bases with no outs. Gillaspie singled and Abreu scored on a Konerko sacrifice fly to tie the game at three runs. The inning ended on a great catch by Aoki, which prompted a rather vociferous "Dag gummit" from Hawk Harrellson.
Unfortunately, the bullpen yet again couldn't keep runs off the board. In the bottom of the eighth Jarrod Dyson, who came in as a pinch runner when Billy Butler walked, was caught stealing on a fantastic throw by Nieto. This appeared to be a game saving play by the rookie catcher until Downs and Cleto allowed back to back doubles plating what would end up being the game winning run.
-Eaton continues to be a force at the top of the lineup. He saw 23 pitches over 5 at bats (4.6 pitches per at bat).
-Gillaspie and Ramirez combined to go 4 for 8 while Konerko, Nieto, De Aza, and Dunn didn't get a hit.
-Danks uncharacteristically walked four batters but was pretty solid otherwise. He struck out six batters and gave up five hits over his seven innings. His velocity doesn't appear to be much different than last season. He topped out at 90 mph while sitting 88-89 mph for most of his start.
-Nieto and Abreu nearly collided on a pop up in foul ground in the bottom of the third. Abreu bobbled the ball but was able to hold on for the out.
-There were a number of terrible swings on Chen's offspeed stuff today. He really had the changeup and slurve working.
-Greg Holland got the save in a relatively uneventful ninth inning.
Team Record: 2-3
The next game is tomorrow, 4/6/14, against Kansas City at Kauffman Stadium. First pitch is at 1:10pm central time. Those in the Chicagoland-area can watch on Comcast Sportsnet.

VICTORVILLE � Victor Valley College will host an annual inservice day Aug. 30 to focus on actions that can be taken to assure student success and meet accreditation standards, according to a VVC news release.
The convocation was organized in response to an informal suggestion made by the Accrediting Commission for Colleges and Junior Colleges, the release states.
VVC officials said the day is designed to foster talks among faculty and staff and how to improve the quality and effectiveness of education at the school. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the results of program review and learning outcome assessments and then use these results to improve the institution along with student success.
"We have not held one of these sessions for several years due to changes in the college calendar which prohibited the opportunity to set aside a day for this endeavor," said Acting Superintendent/President Peter Allan in the news release. "I am pleased that the college has responded in such a positive manner to this suggestion."
The convocation, which is open only to faculty and staff, will begin with a "State of the College" address and will be followed by several breakout sessions. The sessions will give an opportunity to discuss progress made toward meeting the recommendations set forth by the ACCJC. Other breakout sessions will focus on review processes and implementation of the findings.
In a letter addressed to the college, Barbara Beno, President of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges for ACCJC, said that by holding a convocation at the start of the 2013-2014 academic year the college will have the opportunity to examine and develop processes for an institution-wide discussion of quality and educational effectiveness.
"The convocation will be a means by which the college considers evidence of institutional quality that program review and learning assessment have yielded, and continue the discussion over the year in setting, funding, and implementing institutional priorities for improvement," she wrote.
Allan said when the commission makes a suggestion, "the college listens and acts."
"I am pleased with the progress the college has made toward meeting the recommendations handed down by ACCJC," Allan said. "This convocation will give us all a chance to see where we are and what we need to do to improve. I am an optimist and believe we will satisfy the sanctions, but am cautious enough to know that there is still plenty of work to be done."
