Cheers! Visiting from Photo Art Friday!
Here you go again giving me a picture that with stick in my head for days. I have a childhood friend coming to visit after 60 years. Our families were inseparable and we were like brother and sister. Because of the internet we have finally touched bases after all of these years. I would love to print out this picture to give him when he leaves. My kids are going to be here to meet him as well as my niece and her family. Bud wanted to be here but he is hiking in Maine and the timing did not work out. They will meet when he comes to Asheville when Bud runs his next half marathon. . I would love your permission to put it on a zip drive and print out a cory and put it in a quilted cloth frame I have made. . He is 73, all alone, and had serious MS. It is such a heart breaker. A dentist for 50 years and a university dental school professor-a marathon runner (5 Bostons and 27 in all) and a golfer. Now all he can do is sit and read. It is well advanced and has to have a caregiver living with him. We are going to try to get him stimulated to use his camera. I think would be therapeutic. My email is on my blog if you would write and let me know if it is ok. I hope while he is here I can do a series on the face of MS. My son is a wonderful photographer so we ought to be able to pull it off. One of our other best friends has Parkinsons. It is my goal for the 3 girls and the 3 guys of our little group get together one last time. Thank you for touching my heart tonight, and thank you for your encouraging words. I have been at a point where I thought i was not getting any better with my photography and was a bit discouraged. Your note meant the world. Thanks so much for taking the time to share those thoughts with me. I am such a perfectionist, and I just cannot get the shots to be the way I like them. Know you have been through periods like that, too. Anyway, I adore this post and I will not forget you or it. Simplistic but stunningly beautiful. genieReplyDelete
really lovelyReplyDelete
thanks. Of cours you are allowed to use it Genie. :)ReplyDelete
That is gorgeous!
Diamond shape shadows.
Have a blessed Sunday.
This is amazing!ReplyDelete
Körsbärsstjälken är helt fantastisk!ReplyDelete
Such simple beauty.

From Friday February 20 to Sunday March 1, the Science Fiction Convention in Second Life took place. There were a number of exhibits among several sims. This was a chance for a number of sci-fi roleplay groups to get more players. It was also a chance for fans to meet up and chat with one another. The event raised money for the Relay for Life, one of the last RFL related events to take place before the start of the official season.
There were six sims of exhibits, Fhloston Parside, Pern Sound, New Vegas, Risa, Shinon, and Margalthea. Fhloston Parside and Pern Sound were mainly water and walkways over and across them. One could also walk to the American Cancer Society sim, which was next to Fhloston Parside.
Dropping by the ACS sim, Trader Whiplash of T-1 radio was there, among with a few others. He was broadcasting from there, and happy to help out at another fundraiser for the cancer charity. One of my neighbors from Sunweaver, Shadow (the naga) showed up to look around as well and joined me.
There were a few events going on, such as a cake baking contest. No doubt a few involved some unusual varieties of wheat for the flour and eggs.
An amusement park area, complete with a ferris wheel.
Stargazer Creations, one of the shops.
The thing about science fiction conventions is many of the visitors look like part of the exhibits themselves, such as this lady whom in real life was an ethnic Indonesian living in Ireland.
The Apollo 17 Visitor Center by the National Space Society's Second Life chapter,
Part of a Dr. Who exhibit.
Chatting with these two convention-goers took on a roleplay theme. The lady in slacks described herself as from a space station run by her parents. The pink rubbery bunnygirl described herself as once being human, but ended up being tricked into undergoing a procedure that changed her into what she was. Fortunately her memory was restored.
A classic "little green man," or in this case a female.
A reptilian huntress trying to hold a conversation with a small android.
A statue of "Kahless the Unforgettable," in Trek lore the man who founded the Klingon Empire.
Going on a dragon ride.
After the passing of Leonard Nimoy, the actor behind the Star Trek character Spock, many exhibits put up a tribute to him, notably some Trek ones.
The "Alien Culture Dating" event. At first I thought this was a discussion about concepts of dating in science fiction. It turned out to be a roleplayed speed dating.
Shadow and I trying out a shuttle.
Flying it proved to be a little tricky.
The "BSG-82" exhibit, a Battlestar Galactica roleplay group. Talking to Ito Naminosaki who was there, he described the group as one of two remaining roleplays based on the science fiction show remaining, "our sim has more Combat Elements ... but still (an) RP Sim." Their own roleplay involved elements of both shows, "the Colonial fall in (the) Miniseries (had) not happened ... so we are in an still running second Cylon War."
What happened to other Battlestar Galactica roleplays? Ito seemed to be saying the actions by Universal against them a few years ago had a rather chilling effect on morale, even though there was an agreement and the company backed off. Ito did say that a third was around when the convention was being planned, but dissolved before the sci-fi con began.
Another exhibit I stopped by was Black Gaza Prison. Talking to one of the people there, Spirit Wolf (wraith.solo), he described themselves as, "We're SL's oldest running sci-fi themed prison RP. We're mainly furry, but we accept all regular size AV types, furry, human, alien, neko, etc. We have several roles within, medic, guard, robots, inmates, K9 units for feral avatars: We also have mechanics guild." He thought they had been around for six years.
So what were the challenges of a prison roleplay? " Not knowing what is going to happen. As an inmate, it is all about loss of personal control. Every encounter with a guard, you never (really) know what is going to happen. As a guard, it's rolling with the flow, and trying to guide things along ..." Taking a look at the notes, the setting was a rather dark one, described as being influenced by a corrupt corporation. "White knight" behavior by guards was discouraged. Still, they have their chuckles, "especially late at night. Everyone has late night typos, and your brain isn't working 100%...things come out wrong or you don't describe everything like you had invisioned in your head, and it begins to turn out like that old game, 'Mad Libs.' "

Recent research in neuroimaging has been focusing on assessing associations between genetic variants measured on a genomewide scale and brain imaging phenotypes. Many publications in the area use massively univariate analyses on a genomewide basis for finding single nucleotide polymorphisms that influence brain structure. In this work, we propose using various dimensionalityreduction methods on both brain MRI scans and genomic data, motivated by the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study. We also consider a new multiple testing adjustments inspired from the idea of local false discovery rate of Efron and others (2001). Our proposed procedure is able to find associations between genes and brain regions at a better significance level than in the initial analyses.
- Genomewide association studies; Distance covariance/correlation; Empirical null estimation; Local false discovery rate; Multiple comparisons; Positive false discovery rate

UC Davis' Nutributter to go beyond Africa
The Africa Nutributter studies found that children preferred a sweet paste, but the scientists believe regional flavors may make the supplement more appealing. For Guatemala, they plan a cinnamon-flavored Nutributter; for Bangledesh, the paste will be flavored with cumin and cardamom.
UC Davis nutrition professor Kathryn Dewey, who leads the project, said it remains to be seen whether Nutributter will be adapted for American consumers.
"I personally think it is marketable," she said.
Each four-teaspoon serving of Nutributter paste, which comes in a ketchup-packet-like pouch, contains 40 essential vitamins and minerals. Unlike most other nutrient supplements, the product also provides 120 calories of energy plus protein and essential fatty acids. Nutributter is not meant as a replacement for local foods or breast milk, but rather to be added to youngsters' and pregnant mothers' traditional diets.
"More than 3 million children die each year of malnutrition due not just to a lack of calories, but also to poor diet quality, particularly insufficient intake of micronutrients like zinc and iron, which are so critical to healthy growth and development," Dewey said.
The idea for the nutrition supplement came from the successful use of Plumpy'nut, a peanut-based food developed by French researchers for famine relief. Each Plumpy-nut packet has 500 calories and children can gain 1 to 2 pounds a week by eating it twice daily. Plumpy-nut is meant to temporarily serve as the sole food source in emergency situations.
The UC Davis Nutributter team heads the International Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements Project (iLiNS). Last year, the project won a $16 million Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant. A 2008 UC Davis news release announcing the Gates Foundation grant gives more details about Nutributter and its use in African nations. More information is also available on the iLiNS Web site.
Strawberry season in California is all year
This year's wet, cool winter, however, is getting some of California's traditional springtime strawberry powerhouses off to a slow start, according to UC statewide strawberry specialist Kirk Larson, based at the UC South Coast Research and Extension Center in Orange County. There haven't been too many frost or freeze events in Southern California, but it has been well below normal temperatures, resulting in uneven ripening.
UC has an undeniably critical role in the success of the state's strawberry industry. UC-developed cultivars are grown on 65 percent of California strawberry acreage. Speaking to the productivity of UC varieties, those plants produce 85 percent of the state's fruit.
"The big beneficiary of all of this is the consumer," Larson said. "Because there is just so much good fruit, the price is usually affordable."
One of the most popular UC varieties, Albion, was selected by Larson and UC geneticist Doug Shaw for its flavorful, sweet berries, productivity and long shelf life. Other popular UC varieties are Palomar, San Andreas, Diamante, Camarosa and Ventana.
Shaw noted that many California place names and plant variety names honor the state's Hispanic heritage. Shaw wanted the new variety to honor California's English heritage, in the person of explorer Sir Francis Drake.
"But I discovered that 'Drake' is a bad name for a strawberry," Shaw said.
Sir Francis Drake dubbed California 'Nueva Albion' when he claimed the territory. Albion, the oldest recorded name for the island of Great Britain, became the label for a strawberry variety now grown on about 15,000 acres in California.
More information on the UC Strawberry Breeding Program is available on its Web site.
No chill in these chili dishes
When Solano County 4-H'ers compete in their annual Chili Cookoff, part of the countywide Project Skills Day, the competition is as fierce as some of the hot peppers. This year's cookoff was no different.
When it was all over but the tasting, the "Beanless Babes Do Beans," a duo from the Maine Prairie 4-H Club, Dixon, won the championship, followed by "The Golden Spice Girls," a trio from the Tremont 4-H Club, Dixon.
Both teams provided unusual recipes: the Beanless Babes opted for elk burger instead of the traditional beef and named their chili, "Hunter's Chili." The Golden Spice Girls used beer, chocolate, coffee and sugar in their chili, naming it "Bad Character Chili." The Tremont 4-H'ers derived the name from a great-grandmother who used to refer to folks who indulged too much as "bad characters."
Judges proclaimed both dishes as delicious, but especially the Beanless Babes' dish made by Lauren Kett and Rebecca Ivanusich.
"It was really good," said judge Jim Baumann, owner of The Point Restaurant, Rio Vista. Fellow judges Trish San Nicolas of the Golden Hills 4-H Club, Vacaville, and Jose Topete of the U.S. Coast Guard, based in Rio Vista, agreed. They said they were impressed with the taste, creativity and presentation.
The recipe was based on a recipe published by the North American Hunting Club. "This was the first time we made it," said Rebecca. Lauren's father provided the elk burger.
The second-place chili, made by Kaylee Lindgren, Savannah Woodruff and Hannah Crawford-Steward, also drew praise from the judges. "Wonderful!" said San Nicolas.
Eight teams from 4-H clubs throughout the county competed in the Solano County 4-H Chili Cookoff, held earlier this year in Riverview School, Rio Vista.
Also participating were six other teams: the Three Amigos from the Rio Vista 4-H Club; Red Hot Chili Peppers from Sherwood Forest 4-H Club, Vallejo; Suisun Valley Cowboys from the Suisun Valley 4-H Club, Fairfield-Suisun; 4-H Iron Chefs from Tremont 4-H Club, Dixon; and the Chili Chicks and Firecrackers, two teams from the Vaca Valley 4-H Club, Vacaville.
Here are the winning recipes. Add more hot peppers for "more kick"; adjust to preferred taste.

The science behind salad safety
Nutritionists recommend eating a cup of leafy green vegetables every day, but recent reports about the safety of fresh greens may have some wondering whether it could do more harm than good. Consumers Union, the publishers of Consumer Reports magazine, analyzed store-bought prewashed and packaged leafy greens and published the results in the March 2010 issue.Currently, the FDA has no set guidelines for the presence of bacteria in leafy greens. Consumers Report said several industry consultants suggest that an unacceptable level would be 10,000 or more colony forming units per gram. The Consumers Report study found that 39 percent of their 208 samples purchased last summer in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York exceeded this level for total coliform, and 23 percent for Enterococcus.
"Although these 'indicator' bacteria generally do not make healthy people sick, the tests show not enough is being done to assure the safety or cleanliness of leafy greens," said Dr. Michael Hansen, senior scientist at Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports.UC Davis Cooperative Extension specialist Trevor Suslow wrote a lengthy and detailed reaction to the study for Farm Safety News. He said it is unfair to consumers to raise a specter of fear well beyond what is supported by available science and our everyday shared experiences.
"What I rely on for my personal confidence in regularly consuming lettuces, spring mix, and spinach salads is that there are billions and billions of servings of these items consumed every year in the U.S. alone and the predominant experience we have is of safe consumption," Suslow wrote.
Suslow offered these common sense guidelines for purchasing and eating leafy greens:
- Check the display temperature by hand to confirm the display is cool and the bags are very cool to the touch.
- Look at and heed the "Best if Consumed By" date.
- Take notice of the display case arrangement. Bags should be vertical in a row, not laid one on top of one another in stacks. Clamshell containers can displayed in various stacking or slanted row patterns that allow generous space for airflow.
- Prewashed greens do not need to be rewashed at home. In fact, studies have found that home washing doesn't provide any benefit and could make the vegetables susceptible to cross-contamination in the kitchen.
Packaged leafy greens.
Nutritious beans stretch food budget
Families today are starved for time, starved for money and starved for well-balanced meals, and USDA projections hold another piece of bad news: food prices are likely to increase 2.5 to 3.5 percent this year.
The good news is there is one powerful five-letter word that will save you money on your food budget, allow you to eat healthier and cook less: beans.
Beans and legumes are a powerhouse of nutrition, heart healthy and very economical. There are endless varieties of beans and legumes and just as many ways to cook them. They can be served as a main dish, a salad and as a dessert. (See below recipes.)
Besides being a great source of protein, beans are naturally low in fat, high in fiber, and rich in vitamins and minerals.
Most beans contain only 2 percent to 3 percent fat and no cholesterol. They even help lower your cholesterol because they are so rich in fiber. Most beans contain 20 percent protein and are high in complex carbohydrates. In addition, they are rich in B vitamins and iron.
To save money at the grocery store, try eating beans and legumes once or twice a week. Cook your own beans instead of using canned and save even more. If you cook up a big batch, freeze some for use in future recipes. Delicious bean recipes can contain as little as four ingredients.
3 can chili
- 1 14 1/2 oz can of whole kernel corn
- 1 14 1/2 oz can of diced tomatoes (can use Mexican-style tomatoes with chilies added)
- 1 14 1/2 oz can of beans or 2 cups of cooked beans (pinto, kidney or your choice)
- Chili powder to taste
Add all ingredients and heat and serve. For added flavor you can add chopped onions and peppers.
Eggs Mexicali
- 6-8 eggs
- 2 cups of salsa, store-bought or homemade
- 1 15 oz. can of beans (pinto, kidney, black, etc.) or 2 cups of cooked beans
- 1/4 cup of shredded cheese
Heat salsa and beans in a pan over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Crack an egg in a bowl and add one at a time. Cover and cook until eggs are firm -- about 6 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle with cheese. Cover until the cheese melts. Serve with rice and tortillas.
Lentils cooked with smoked turkey leg
- 1 pound of lentils rinsed and sorted
- 2 bay leaves
- 2-3 cloves of crushed garlic
- 2 cups each chopped celery and onions
- 2 cups of sliced or chopped carrots
- 1 large smoked turkey leg
Add to a pot, cover with water and cook until lentils are done. Remove the cooked turkey leg from the pot and remove the meat. Chop the meat in bite size pieces and add back to the pot. Season to taste with salt and pepper before serving. This recipe can be cooked in a crock pot.Bean fudge
- 2/3 cup canned milk
- 1 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups strained pinto beans
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup nuts
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

I went and saw this at the weekend. I was seeing too many spoilers. I've had enough time to compile some thoughts. Here's some of them.
The Empire, or the First Order, marches; the Resistance runs. This seems to be a significant difference.
If I watch this again it will be to make a list of health and safety violations. I think I've spotted at least two in my first screening: Storm-troopers shuttling down to planetside without apparently being strapped in; later Rey trips some fuses without checking the safety protocols. Once Health and Safety mobilises I don't think either the First Order, or the Resistance, stand much chance coming off unscathed.
Rey is cool. She is not just a Jedi, she is an Engineer.
What is the First Order's economy? Even after two Death Stars are destroyed and their dominance over the Star Wars galaxy has been shattered they still have fully functional funding to build a equator-girdling Starkiller Base that can be seen from orbit, a weapon that dwarves either of the earlier Death Stars.
What is the relationship between the Resistance and the New Republic? Apparently the Resistance is embedded in the New Republic beyond the reach of the First Order. Does General Leia Organa answer to a Comander-in-Chief in the Republic? There are potentially disturbing implications if the Resistance is answerable only to itself.
Rule of thumb – if you end up in the Star Wars galaxy, move off the densely populated urban planets. They get destroyed first. Even low density settlements get bombed by the First Order, but the planet doesn't get destroyed under your feet. They have to find you first so you have a better chance.

Glow tapes are some of the most versatile used in either home based applications or industrial purposes. They come in a wide range of colors and sizes depending on where it should be use and the company which manufactures them. There sizes are normally determined in terms of their thickness and width.
Just as the name suggests, these kinds of tapes are known to glow in the dark and hence can easily be seen even when there is no light.
This is an example of a glow tape which has been placed in a dark room. As It can be seen in the diagram above, these two tapes placed close to one another are glowing thereby producing some sort of light as if they have been connected to a power supply.
The figure above shows a glow tape with a relatively wide diameter
The figure above shows several glow tapes with varied colors and smaller diameters as compared to the two tapes above.
But what really makes these tapes to glow in the dark?
A number of reasons have been put across to explain this very unique phenomenon. Glow tapes have certain luminescent pigments which are believed to possess the ability to absorb and store light energy during the day which can be used in turn when there is darkness to produce light. In most cases, as shown in the diagrams above, those are the most common colors which appear at night. They are also used when there is black out to act as guide lines. Closely related to this is the fluorescent tapes which also serve the same purpose as these tapes since they are also bright while in the dark. Just like the glowing tapes, these tapes can also be used for emergency purposes.
In industries, these glowing tapes can be used to cover live wires or other wires which are in the machine. In most machines, whether there is darkness or light, spotting some components has always proved to be very difficult since either minimal or no light can penetrate into the machine. This makes handy to be used to locate some of the most vital components found in the machine. This is just as example of an industrial application of these kinds of tapes.
They can also be placed on the stair cases to guide people whenever there is black besides being used to locate some of the most vital equipment which can be used whenever there's black out. This can be done by sticking the tape on these equipment.
A glow tape can be obtained from a local shop or bought from online stores at affordable prices. These tapes can be used to serve the same purpose as the reflective tapes since the most important of all is that they should be visible at night. However, the difference between the reflective tapes and the glowing tapes is that the reflective tapes requires light to be shone on them so that they can also be seen in the dark while the glowing tapes do not.

A unique architectural masterpiece, Vithala temple in Hampi is situated opposite to the village of Anegondi. The temple is named after Vithala, an avatar of Vishnu worshipped by the Marathas. Vithala temple is built in the form of a complex with compound wall and gateway towers. The one thing that immediately catches attention is the stone chariot which has assumed iconic heights over the years for Karnataka tourism. The pillared halls are intrinsically carved with sculptures that speak volumes about the glorious past of Hampi. Another feature that is worth mentioning here is the musical pillars that emanates the seven notes when tapped.
Hazara Rama Temple
The Hazara Rama temple complex in Hampi is located in the middle of the Royal Centre and was once used as a place of worship by the royal family members. Inscriptions inside the temple indicate that it was built by Devaraya I in early fifteenth century. This temple is renowned for its elaborate frescos extensively portraying scenes from Hindu mythology. There are about one thousand fantastically carved bas relief and inscriptions that illustrate the mighty epic Ramayana and the Mahanavami festival. Depiction of processions of elephants, horses with attendants, dancing girls and armoured soldiers testify the expertise of the Vijayanagara artists.
Lakshmi Narasimha Temple
The Lakshmi Narasimha temple in Hampi attracts tourists specifically due to its monolithic structure and the sheer enormity of its size. It is the single largest statue in Hampi with a height of 6.7 meters. Narasimha, the fourth incarnation of Lord Vishnu is depicted as sitting on the giant coil of the celestial snake Adisesha. The seven heads of the giant snake shielding Narasimha, arched by a Kirtimukha Torana in the front, is an architectural masterpiece in itself. However, several features of the monolithic structure are missing and the most prominent among these damaged and missing structures is the seated figurine of Narasimha's consort Lakshmi on his left lap. By entering inside the enclosure, one can see the land of Lakshmi on Narasimha's back with her fingers, nails and rings, all beautifully sculptured.
Virupaksha Temple
Amidst the ruins of the ancient city Vijaynagar the Virupaksha temple stands tall with all its earlier structures still intact. The temple personifies Lord Shiva and is still used for worship. The inside of the temple consists of a sanctum with a madapam in front, three ante chambers, a pillared hall and an open pillared hall. Among the three towers the eastern tower is the tallest standing at a height of 160 feet and is nine tiered. Virupaksha portrays Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu in their various avatars. The chariot festival is celebrated in the premises of this temple during the month of February.

The summer heat is rising and so is the small satellite industry. Lower costs, shorter development schedules, and easier access to outer space have kick-started a small satellite trend. With the amount of satellites in space rapidly growing each year, here at AGI we have no doubt that the 2018 32nd Annual Small Satellite Conference in August will be even more blazing than last summer's.
Using STK, we can provide aerospace engineers with software to build their ideal small satellite mission
AGI is excited to exhibit again at this year's Small Satellite Conference (booth 122). Hot topics we're focusing on include:
Stop by and talk to an engineer or developer about the challenges and opportunities in the expanding small satellite industry. And make sure to save some brainpower to learn some fiery dance moves.
Last year's fire dancers really wowed the crowd
AGI's Little Leo Luau will take place on August 7 from 6:30 – 10:00 PM at the Riter Mansion. Fire dancers, drinks, and food will make an appearance at this tropical party...will you?
Don't forget your best luau attire.

A basic toolbox should hold all the tools necessary to perform essential household repairs or assemble simple furniture kits. It is not intended to contain the kinds of tools required to build an addition or re-roof the house. If outfitted properly, your toolbox will keep you from venturing to the hardware store to buy tools and supplies every time you start a new household project. Here are some of the things needed to outfit a basic toolbox.
1Purchase a tape measure to include in your toolbox. A tape measure comes in handy when you need to know the dimensions of a room before buying a new piece of furniture or centering a picture on the wall.
2Include a box knife in your toolbox. A box knife, or utility knife, can be used to open packages, cut small pieces of wood or slice cardboard.
3Put duct tape in your toolbox. Duct tape can fix nearly anything. It can temporarily stop a leaky pipe, seal packages, hold something while it's being glued and be used for many of other purposes.
4Buy a small package of finishing nails to put in your toolbox. Finishing nails can be used to hang pictures, nail down a loose board or to serve as a hook on the inside of cabinets.
5Get a hammer for your toolbox. The hammer doesn't need to be fancy or extra large. It just needs to enable you to hammer in a nail or remove one with the claw head.
6Select simple screwdrivers or an all-in-one version for your toolbox. You will need at least one flat-head and one Phillips-head screwdriver. Also, put in an eyeglass screwdriver set, which usually includes a mini flat-head and Phillips-head screwdriver. These are great to use on toys that require a small screwdriver to open battery compartments.
7Insert an adjustable wrench into your toolbox. It can be used to tighten or loosen any size of nut or bolt. This type of wrench might be called a crescent wrench. Monkey wrenches can also work for this purpose.
8Choose simple pliers for your toolbox. Standard, adjustable pliers will help you perform many household tasks. Additionally, include a set of needle nose pliers, which are able to reach into smaller spots.
9Put a level in your toolbox. It doesn't need to be a large level. One that is 6- to 12-inches long will be adequate for basic household projects. Look for a level that can be used on both horizontal and vertical surfaces.
10Buy a basic ratchet with a simple socket set to include in your toolbox. Ratchets are good for assembling (or taking apart) bed frames or other furniture.
11Add some power tools. A circular saw helps out when it's necessary to cut a 2x4 or small board. It doesn't need to be an expensive or industrial model. A simple electric drill also helps to fulfill simple tasks around the house. Many people buy cordless drills, but find the batteries and charges take up lots of space.
12Insert a small flashlight in your toolbox. Having a flashlight easily accessible helps you see into tight, dark places. Put a few extra batteries into your toolbox, too, so you aren't stuck without flashlight batteries when you need them.

WHEN IT COMES to cold weather entertaining, fondue is a classic. This time of year, I typically pull out my pots - one copper and one ceramic that I got as wedding gifts in the late '80s.
Considering that reduced-fat cheeses have a reputation for not melting well, it might seem dicey to try to change the ingredients in a classic beer-and-cheese fondue.
This Cheesy Beer Fondue recipe, developed by professional home economists Kathryn Moore and Roxanne Wyss, uses a combination of reduced-fat cheeses, fat-free half-and-half and light beer with tasty results.
Cheese is very high in calcium and high in phosphorous. Swap out the hunks of baguette for vegetable dippers, and you've added vitamins and fiber.
Or go for pretzels and you have a crunchy, fat-free snack.
Shopping tip: For testing purposes, we used Select 55 by Budweiser.
Serving tip: There are loads of fondue pots on the market these days. A ceramic or enameled cast-iron fondue pot is the perfect type for cooking cheese fondue.
Check the manufacturer's directions to see if the pot can be heated on the stovetop to avoid dirtying more than one pot.
We found the retro 1970s flame-orange fondue pot shown here on eBay.
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 carrots, thinly sliced
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5-ounce) can fat-free, reduced-
sodium chicken broth
1 cup light beer
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half
1 3/4 cups 2 percent shredded cheddar cheese
4 slices 2 percent American cheese, cut into small pieces
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Suggested dippers: carrots, broccoli or
cauliflower pieces, or pretzels
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet. Add onion, carrots and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, about 5 to 8 minutes, or until soft. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in chicken broth and beer. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 to 25 minutes or until carrots are tender.
Ladle about half the broth-vegetable mixture into a blender; cover and blend until smooth. (Use caution when blending a hot mixture, and always vent the cover when blending hot foods or liquids.)
Pour puree into a 3-quart saucepan. Repeat with remaining broth-vegetable mixture and pour into saucepan.
Whisk flour into half-and-half; then whisk half-and-half mixture into broth-vegetable mixture. Simmer, stirring constantly, 2 to 3 minutes, or until it begins to thicken. Toss cheeses with cornstarch and add to saucepan. Stir constantly until cheese has melted and mixture is smooth.
Serve warm with desired dippers. Makes 4 cups or about 12 fondue portions.

On Doughnut Time's first day of trade in Brisbane, the customers started lining up at 4.30am. On its second day, the city council issued an informal notice to cease trading, because of the huge crowd mobbing the footpath. On day three, that order was made official.
Nine months later there are four stores in Brisbane and two in the Gold Coast. Next is a rapid expansion throughout Melbourne and Sydney.
Before it opens its two permanent stores next year on Brunswick Street in Fitzroy and Degraves Street in the CBD, there will be two pop-ups to give Melburnians a taste.
On December 1, Doughnut Time will pop up inside Topshop on Chapel Street, Prahran, and then Topshop Emporium in the CBD will follow the next day. Both will run indefinitely.
It's already secured a kitchen in Richmond, where it'll make all the Melbourne doughnuts. There'll be no room to bake in the actual stores. As in Brisbane, they will be just tiny, kiosk-style takeaway windows.
So what's all the fuss about? Doughnut Time's Instagram account is the best place to get an idea. "We go back and talk to the audience through social media," says owner, Damian Griffiths. "We say, 'Tell us what you like'. It's amazing what you get out of that."
Past creations include Stifler's Mom, a doughnut filled with apple pie; and Purple Haze, a grape-glazed ring topped with a sour strap. Glazed and Confused is crowned with potato chips; and The Elvis is piped full of raspberry jam, glazed with banana and peanut, then sprinkled with pancetta.
At $6 each, the elaborate, yeasted rings aren't cheap, but it's at least clear why they're so pricey. "It's a handmade product, you're always up against the cost of labour," Griffiths says.
Griffiths admires the Gelato Messina model and wants Doughnut Time to act in a similar way, with the same varieties released at every store simultaneously.
To deal with the tough competition here (All Day Donuts, Doughboys and Shortstop, for example) Griffiths says he's contemplating going "really late night", where you can get your doughnut on until 11pm. In Brisbane, at least, this has proven successful.

How to make polyester resin paperweights
If you have an object that you want to preserve, such as a flower from your wedding bouquet or an old, fragile piece of jewellery, a great way to do this is to make a resin paperweight. Encasing the object in resin will result in a clear, glasslike paperweight with your object floating inside of it.
These are great, easy-to-make gift ideas for office colleagues or teachers. They can also make the perfect unique decorative touch to your office decor.
Chose objects to be displayed in your paperweight. It can be a charm, dried flowers, a small toy or any objects you chose.
Prepare the craft resin to the manufacturer's exact instructions. Some kinds of craft resin require being carefully mixed. Be sure to wear gloves when handling resin to protect your skin from exposure.
Make sure your mould is clean and dry. If your mould is not already sturdy, you will need to find something that will hold it upright and still, like placing it between two books.
Pour a small amount of resin into the mould. Press your object into the resin, upside down, just enough to anchor it into place. Fill the mould the rest of the way with resin.
Allow the resin to set long enough to be firm but not to completely harden. You will notice that as it dries, a small divot is created in the top centre of the mould. Fill the mould the rest of the way with resin and allow it to dry for the full recommendation of the manufacturer. This could be a few hours to a few days, depending on the type of resin used.
Pop the paperweight out of the mould. Use fine sandpaper to remove any areas that keep the paperweight from sitting level on your desk. You have now created your paperweight.

Biggest Flirts
By Jennifer Echols
Superlatives – Book 1
Available 20 May 2014
Tia and Will's lives get flipped upside down when they're voted Yearbook's Biggest Flirts in this sassy novel from the author of Endless Summer and The One That I Want.
Tia just wants to have fun. She's worked hard to earn her reputation as the life of the party, and she's ready for a carefree senior year of hanging out with friends and hooking up with cute boys. And her first order of business? New guy Will. She can't get enough of his Midwestern accent and laidback swagger.
As the sparks start to fly, Will wants to get serious. Tia's seen how caring too much has left her sisters heartbroken, and she isn't interested in commitment. But pushing Will away drives him into the arms of another girl. Tia tells herself it's no big deal…until the yearbook elections are announced. Getting voted Biggest Flirts with Will is, well, awkward. They may just be friends, but their chemistry is beginning to jeopardize Will's new relationship—and causing Tia to reconsider her true feelings. What started as a lighthearted fling is about to get very complicated.
This Blonde's Review:
I am a big fan of Jennifer Echols but I'm not sure that I loved this one. I'm looking forward to the second book though since I was part of the same superlative my senior year. The book with go way differently than my experience but I'm still amused by it and want to see where she takes it.
In this book we have Tia and Will, who are voted biggest flirts. I didn't really care for Tia that much honestly. She spends her time refusing to be dependable and wanting to hook up with guys she doesn't care about. She has a steady friend with benefits though they'll both hook up with others as they choose. Tia hadn't taken that path due to her own heartbreak, instead she chose that path because of her mother and sisters. She refused to follow in their footsteps so would rather create her own kind of damage for her life.
Will is the hot new guy that Tia can't get enough of. Will is one of the good guys. He's considerate, attractive, wants to have a steady girlfriend, do well in school, excel on drums, gets along with his family, the whole nine yards. Will spells trouble for Tia so she does everything she can to act like she doesn't care.
I liked Will so much more than Tia. He was a good person who was just trying to be around the girl he liked. I thought it was funny that while it looked like he liked someone else when Tia wasn't available, as far as he was concerned he had just asked someone to show him around. Will fell into dating someone without even realizing that's how everyone would see it.
I actually enjoyed some of the other characters much better than our main character Tia. Her best friends could end up with some interesting stories. Overall, this was an easy read that I was able to fly through while out of town. It was cute but the easy hookup, no responsibility attitude Tia has could be irritating to some. I could understand that idea behind it but I couldn't connect with it. Will and their friends were what saved this one for me. I wanted to find out more of the back story so that I would know more when their stories come up.

Joyce lovers have an absolute treat on offer right now in the West End of London. Yer man himself is being beautifully brought to life by the Dublin actor Peter McDonald (right), who looks like a more handsome version of Joyce.
This is Patrick Marber's revival of Tom Stoppard's 1974 comedy Travesties. It sold out almost instantly at the Menier Chocolate Factory, but has now transferred to the beautiful Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. We caught a Saturday matinée last month.
Stoppard's play was inspired by reading Richard Ellmann's account of the wonderful Henry Carr Trouser Saga of 1918. Carr was a junior official at the Consulate at Zurich, cast by Joyce as Algernon Moncrieff in his production of 'The Importance of Being Earnest'.
After the production, Carr told Joyce that he expected to be paid for a pair of trousers he'd bought for the part. Joyce answered that these were not a costume but could be worn as everyday clothing. Carr then called Joyce a cad and a swindler and threatened to wring his neck if he met him on the street.
|From the theatre programme
Joyce later got his revenge, three times. He mocked Carr in an October 1918 poem, 'New Tipperary' (left).
He also put him into Ulysses, as the most foul-mouthed character in the whole book – the English soldier who assaults Stephen Dedalus in the Circe episode:
PRIVATE CARR (With ferocious articulation.) I'll do him in, so help me fucking Christ! I'll wring the bastard fucker's bleeding blasted fucking windpipe!
His third revenge was to get Herbert Gorman to put the whole story, at great length, in his 1941 authorised biography. This bit was almost certainly written by Joyce himself:
'It became noticeable to the entire company that Carr's behaviour towards Joyce was one of veiled indefinable hostility, an insolence unreasonable and unwarrantable in a young man of no particular talents towards one who was older and far more experienced in life and certainly of greater and more recognized achievement.'
Stoppard was excited to learn that two other revolutionary figures were also in Zurich at the same time as Joyce – Lenin and Tristan Tzara, the leading Dadaist. The problem was that their dates don't quite match. In 1918, when Carr was fighting Joyce about his trousers, Lenin was already in power in Russia.
The solution was to filter the story through the recollections of the fantasising amnesiac 80 year-old Henry Carr, who places himself at the centre of events, and also muddles up the plot of Wilde's play with his encounters with the others.
So Carr and Tzara play the roles of Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff, while Joyce, appearing at one point in a dress, is Lady Augusta Bracknell. We learn that his middle name really was Augusta.
TZARA: I say, do you know someone called Joyce?
CARR: Joyce is a name which could only expose a child to comment around the font.
TZARA; No, no, Mr Joyce, Irish writer, mainly of limericks, christened James Augustine, though registered, due to a clerical error, as James Augusta, a little known fact.
Carr, both young and old, is beautifully played by Tom Hollander, who has to begin with a challenging twelve minute circling monologue in which he attempts to shape his memories of Joyce and the others.
CARR:....now then – Memories of James Joyce...It's coming.
To those of us who knew him, Joyce's genius was never in doubt. To be in his presence was to be aware of an amazing intellect bent on shaping itself into the permanent form of its own monument – the book the world now knows as Ulysses! Though at the time we were still calling it (I hope memory serves) by its original title, Elasticated Bloomers.
(Joyce was) a complex personality, an enigma, a contradictory spokesman for the truth, an obessive litigant who wished his total indifference to public notice to be universally recognised – in short a liar and a hypocrite, a tightfisted, sponging, fornicating drunk not worth the paper, that's that bit done.'
CARR: Ah yes...the war, always the war....I was in Savile Row when I heard the news, talking to the head cutter at Drewitt and Madge in a hounds-tooth check slightly flared behind the knee, quite unusual. Old Drewitt, or Madge, came in and told me. Never trusted the Hun, I remarked. Boche, he replied, and I, at that time unfamiliar with the appellation, turned on my heel and walked into Trimmett and Punch, where I ordered a complete suit of harris knicker-bockers with hacking vents.
CARR: Oh, what nonsense you talk!
TZARA: It may be nonsense but at least it's not clever nonsense. Cleverness has been exploded, along with so much else, by the war.
CARR: You forget that I was there, in the mud and blood of a foreign field, unmatched by anything in the whole history of human carnage. Ruined several pairs of trousers. Nobody who has not been in the trenches can have the faintest conception of the horror of it. I had hardly set foot in France before I sank up to the knees in a pair of twill jodhpurs with pigskin straps handstitched by Ramidge and Hawkes. And so it went on – until I was invalided out with a bullet through the calf of an irreplaceable lambswool dyed khaki in a yarn to my own specification.
Stoppard perceptively noticed that Joyce, though a dandy like Carr in many ways, made up his own rules about how to dress.
|Joyce in mismatched jacket and trousers (Beinecke Library, Yale Univ).
CARR: And I have only one request to make of you – why for God's sake cannot you contrive just once to wear the jacket that is suggested by your trousers??
(It is indeed the case that Joyce is now wearing the other halves of the outfit he wore in Act One)
JOYCE (With dignity): If I could do it once, I could do it every time. My wardrobe got out of step in Trieste, and its reciprocal members pass each other endlessly in the night. Now – could you let me have the twenty-five francs?
This 1904 photograph shows that Joyce was wearing mismatched trousers long before Trieste.
At the heart of the play is a debate about the role of the artist in society. Carr and Lenin (Forbes Masson) think that the artist has a social responsibility, and both hate modern art:
CARR & LENIN: Expressionism, futurism, cubism...I don't understand them and I get no pleasure from them.
CARR: That's my point. There was nothing wrong with Lenin except his politics.
TZARA: You could have spent the time in Switzerland as an artist.
CARR (coldly): My dear Tristan, to be an artist at all is like living in Switzerland during a world war. To be an artist in Zurich, in 1917, implies a degree of self-absorption that would have glazed the eyes of Narcissus.
Lenin argues that literature should play a practical role in creating a Socialist society, and that it should be free from the individual expression of men like Tzara and Joyce.
LENIN: Today, literature must become party literature. Down with non-partisan literature! Down with literary supermen! Literature must become a part of the common cause of the proletariat...We want to establish and we shall establish a free press...free from bourgeois anarchist individualism!
Joyce was the ultimate anarchist individualist, as he said himself in his 1916 poem 'Dooleysprudence':
Who is the tranquil gentleman who won't salute the State
Or serve Nebuchadnezzar or proletariat
But thinks that every son of man has quite enough to do
To paddle down the stream of life his personal canoe?
It's Mr Dooley,
Mr Dooley,
The wisest wight our country ever knew
'Poor Europe ambles
Like sheep to shambles'
Sighs Mr Dooley-ooley-ooley-oo.
The bigger debate is between the conceptual artist,Tzara, who says that 'a man may be an artist by exhibiting his hindquarters', and Joyce, the master magician and creative craftsman. McDonald brings a stillness and authority to the role of Joyce, contrasting with the dancing grace and gaiety of Freddie Fox's Tristan Tzara.
(He starts to smash whatever crockery is to hand; which done, he strikes a satisfied pose. JOYCE has not moved)
|Freddie Fox as Tzara
(with which JOYCE pulls a rabbit out of his hat, puts the hat on his head, and leaves, holding the rabbit.)
|Tristan Tzara
Travesties is Joycean in spirit. Like Ulysses, it switches from style to style, from a scene in limericks, to Shakespearian pastiche and a history lecture. There's a duet between Clare Foster's Cicely and Amy Morgan's Gwendolen which parodies the 1922 vaudeville song 'Mr Gallagher and Mr Shean'. In a nice touch from Marber, they are accompanied by Joyce playing a guitar just like the real instrument he owned in Zurich, now in the Martello Tower, which you can see being played here.
|Amy Morgan (Gwendolen) and Clare Foster (Cicely)
There's also a section written in the schoolbook catechism style of the Ithaca episode of Ulysses:
JOYCE: What, reduced to their simplest reciprocal form, were Tzara's thoughts about Ball's thoughts about Tzara, and Tzara's thoughts about Ball's thoughts about Tzara's thoughts about Ball?
TZARA: He thought that he thought that he knew what he was thinking, whereas he knew that he knew that he knew that he did not.
What, reduced to their simplest reciprocal form, were Bloom's thoughts about Stephen's thoughts about Bloom and Bloom's thoughts about Stephen's thoughts about Bloom's thoughts about Stephen?
He thought that he thought that he was a Jew whereas he knew that he knew that he knew that he was not.
Well it was a long time ago. He left Zurich after the war, went to Paris, stayed twenty years and turned up here in December 1940. Another war...But he was a sick man then, perforated ulcer, and in January he was dead...buried one cold snowy day in the Fluntern cemetery up the hill.
I dreamed about him, dreamed I had him in the witness box, a masterly cross-examination, case practically won, admitted it all, the whole thing, the trousers, everything, and I flung at him –'And what did you do in the Great War?' 'I wrote Ulysses,' he said. 'What did you do?'
Bloody nerve.
That's such a well-known quotation that many people imagine that it really was said by Joyce.
|Picture from the Mission Impossible: Ulysses blog
After the original production, Stoppard was excited and alarmed to get a letter from a Mrs Noel Carr, who wrote, 'I was totally fascinated by the reviews of your play – the chief reason being that Henry Carr was my late husband until he died in 1962.'
Stoppard learned that Carr had been badly wounded in 1916, and had spent five days lying in no-man's land, until he was taken prisoner by the Germans. He was then treated in a monastery before being sent as an exchange prisoner to Switzerland, where he encountered Joyce. You can see why a man who had been through those horrors would see the author of 'Dooleysprudence' as a cad.
Mrs Carr sent Stoppard this 1917 photograph of a trouser-free Carr, in his Black Watch uniform, which Ellmann printed in the second edition of his biography of Joyce.
Travesties is on at the Apollo Theatre until the end of April, and there are tickets for as little as £20. What a bargain!

A huge thank you to those who left warm, loved-filled comments on my 'last post. Your words ment the world to me. I hope you and everyone out there had a wonderful holiday weekend.
Daddy and Kira got to spend lots of quality time together which freed me up to spend some quality time in the sewing room (and Joann's, and Micheals, and Barnes and Noble and the park (to work out with my personal trainer sister, she refuses to let me be still for too long and I'm grateful to her for it). Here's how I spent the weekend.
I finished up another quilt. I've had it and another one sitting around for way to long. Now I can finally sent them out into the world to be played, puked and loved on by two adorable little babes. One reason I had them so long was to do a compare and contrast between the two. Same pattern, different quilting styles.
Here's Hudson's quilt! I used my "go-to" baby quilt pattern, Charm Squares Baby Quilt. The fabric line is Mishchief and it's just adorable.
I love the yellow polka dot binding, it just screams "happy"!!
And here's Maggie's quilt (you remember this one). Same pattern but different quilting.
The meandering pattern on Hudson's quilt actually made it about 1 1/2 to 2 inches smaller than Maggie's. If I'd stuck with plan A it would have been even smaller. I was going to use a pebbling pattern but it just didn't look good enough for a quilt that was intended as a gift.
Definitely more practice…oh the burden…(hee hee).
The rainy, cool days this weekend served me well.
They may have been a bit of a disappointment for some but not for me.
Now to get these in the mail!

All right! We've got our blueprints, references, and a pretty good idea of how to block out some shapes. Its finally time to glue together some foam, plastic and wood and start making a sci-fi glowing needle space gun.
Here's a standard warning that, while most of us have read it a million times, bears repeating: Whenever you're working with anything that releases gas, dust, shavings, splinters or particles, wear a respirator! Goggles wouldn't hurt either if it looks like your material will be shooting particles out violently. I have a dust collector in my shop that's hooked up to all the tools that spit fine material mist everywhere to help with keeping this crap out of the air. Wear safety equipment like this with everything. Cardboard is technically "non toxic" but you don't still don't want to be breathing cardboard dust!
While messing around in Photoshop, I discovered a pretty neat feature in the 3D palette. I have no doubt that people skilled with 3D programs have known about this for ages, but it was a pretty big "aha!" moment for me. In the "3D Scene" menu, you can choose to cross section your model, and even highlight where the cross intersects the part. Words aren't my forte, so I put together a little animated gif of what this means exactly:
For creating the rear casing, I saved a series of images of the sliced rear section of the gun with the intersecting plane highlighted in red. These were then transferred to Illustrator, and traced into vector format. Since the gun is a series of flat polygons, a little interpretation of the outlines was necessary in order to get a proper curve.
These patterns were transferred onto some ¼" MDF with my laser cutter. Technically you could cut these out completely on a laser, but MDF is a pretty nasty material to go burning holes into, so I decided to just make the patterns here and cut them by hand later on with my scrollsaw.
Finished cut pieces. Also convenient if you're planning on making a model ship, apparently. I discovered there were a few jumps in the shapes from one step to another, so I cut out a few more inserts to make the curve transition smoother.
The spaces between were filled in with 5lb urethane tooling foam. Since the gaps were variable in width, I had to spend some time slicing different thicknesses of foam to make sure there were as few gaps as possible. Grab a sharpe and label everything - don't be sqeamish about making notes directly on the piece you're cutting or sculpting either. A notebook can be misplaced or the correct page forgotten, but if you write "don't cut this side, idiot" onto your prop, it tends to keep mistakes from happening.
All the sliced sections rough cut and superglued into place. I like to use the really thick "gap filling" cyanoacrylate here, since it will fill the spaces between the foam and the wood well and won't run down the side of the piece - inevitably gluing your hand to the prop when it does - when you spread it onto the foam.
These blanks were then shaped with some 50-grit sandpaper. Very rough stuff, kind of like sanding with a roofing shingle. A while back my dad stumbled onto some overstock sanding belts at a tool thrift store here in Atlanta, and bought me about 30 belts in 50, 80 and 120 grit. I don't have a 24" belt sander, but cutting these belts into squares makes for perfect sanding blocks for rough shaping like this. Sanding belts have a thick fabric-like backing and are generally meant to have a longer lifespan than regular sandpaper. While this isn't really an option for everyone, it has become my preferred method for doing initial rough passes like this.
This little foam and wood blimp was then skinned with several passes of bondo to even out the shape. If you're using urethane foam like I am, you can just slap the polyester filler ont here no problem. If you're using the pink-or-blue extruded polystyrene foam (insulation foam from Home Depot or LOWES) then you'll need to seal it first with something like acrylic paint to keep the polyester filler from dissolving the foam underneath.
The flat areas on the bottom are a little easier to accomplish. Going back to the blueprints and taking measurements of the lower dimension of the top casing gave me the shapes that were trimmed out of styrene sheet. If you wanted to you could try to sand some bondo into a flat plane to fill in this area, but no sense in making more work when a shortcut will do. The beveled edge sides were also added at this point with some apoxie sculpt.
A whole bunch of sanding later and the base form is finished. From here I can start carving panel lines and indentations into the surface for the hexagonal needle chambers.
Not having any compound curves, the handle for the Needler was wrapped up in pretty short order. The center portion was made from laminated MDF sheets to be .75" thick - matched to the scaled blueprints printed out before. Additional details on the side were added in .25" MDF then accented with .118" acrylic.
The side handles are supposed to have a slight indentation, so an additional insert was cut out of .080" acrylic and inset into the grip texture. This gives the handle a very slight step, and the process is much easier than trying to trim out a flat plane like this by hand. Once everything was glued up, Apoxie Sculpt was used to fill in the beveled areas.
There's a fair bit of sanding (you're going to hear that a lot) between the above shot and this one below, but the handle is about 90% finished at this point. If you're wondering why it looks like its cast in chocolate, thats the Krylon "Ruddy Brown" primer I'm partial to using. I've found it dried well even in the humidity here in GA and doesn't clump up when sanded. Your mileage may vary, so make sure to test out and find the stuff that works best for you in your climate.
From the descriptions above you can kind of get a sense of how things are going to progress from here. This piece in the art file below is the sort of "barrel" portion where the needles would come out from the in-game model. Since there's two of these mirrored around one axis on the actual gun, I'll just be making one and molding it for its twin.
Framework starts out as layers of styrene and acrylic, with profiles drawn from the X, Y and Z perspectives. This gets skinned in layers of styrene for the flat parts and Apoxie Sculpt for the curved bevels. After a lot of sanding, the part is closing in on complete.
Now let's take that one step further with the "emitter" part - the jaw-shaped piece that affixes to the front of the upper casing. This part has curved sides, but is otherwise a pretty straightforward beveled part. The center spine was cut from MDF parts, with lines etched into the sides for acrylic standoffs.
Disregarding the technicolor assortment of acrylic, these standoffs represent the curve of the outer edge of the emitter. Look at it from a top-down perspective, and I think you can see where I'm going with this.
I used a sheet of .040" thick styrene to skin the outside of these standoffs - this stuff is very flexible and while it wouldn't be a good solution for something like the underside of the top casing where we need a nice flat edge, it's ability to easily form a curve makes it perfect here. This piece isn't finished just yet - the epoxy clay in the beveled sections need to be shaped and sanded a bit more - but the basic framework is complete. I just need to follow the lines and fill in the geometric shapes of the bevel and its complete.
While this seems like a lot of writing for just a few hunks of primer-tinted shop flotsam, I hope it does a good job of illustrating how I sculpt the basic shapes of a project. I'll be continuing this trend with the rest of the parts of the gun since I've only got about half of it started thus far, and the next project installment will cover adding more detail and depth with panel lines and recessed areas in the base shapes.
See you again in two weeks!
