When Andrea Lattanzio (Norton74) posted his Volkswagen Transporter more than a week ago, I decided to pass blogging it. I liked it, but it is a modified set.
However, the Transporter was merely a prop for this fantastically detailed garage scene.
James Bond is well known for his often slightly wacky gadgets. The gyrocopter used in You only Live Twice, recreated in minifig scale by Brian Williams (BMW_Indy), is a prime example. This odd little contraption was nicknamed Little Nellie and in the flying scenes in the movie, it was piloted by its designer, Ken Wallis, who was a former RAF WW2 bomber pilot turned inventor. He died last year, aged 97, and was tinkering with and flying gyrocopters until shortly before his death.
Brian's model uses a fair few BrickArms parts, which may upset LEGO purists, but in my opinion they are a great addition to the model. It just wouldn't look complete without its rocket pods. The model is also complemented by some really nice custom stickers.
Carl Greatrix (Brictrix) is mostly and rightfully known for his excellent minifig scale train models. However, the train layouts he brings to shows also often feature beautifully constructed buildings and classic cars. It is no surprise to me then that, now he has turned his attention to building a scale model of a car, the end result is superb. The car in question is a seventies motorsport icon: the Ferrari 312T4 Formula One racer. The model was inspired by the highly detailed plastic scale models in old catalogues by the Japanese Tamiya brand. I used to have one of those too, as a teenager, and spent many hours pouring over it looking for inspiration for my models.
I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Ferrari Formula One cars. Some of them are beautiful. Others, not so much, although I suppose that on a race car, "form follows function" has a certain attractiveness on its own. As far as I am concerned, the 312T4 isn't particularly pretty either, but Carl's rendition is definitely spot-on.
Henrik Hoexbroe tends to build highly detailed minifig scale models. His latest model is a dining coach as used in 1919 as part of the famous Orient Express, which used to connect Paris with Istanbul.
A single train coach may not sound like a particularly interesting subject, but this one is a bit special. For understandable reasons, most train builders build to minifig scale and guys such as Carl Greatrix and Andrew Harvey (to name just two examples) manage to pack a surprising amount of exterior detail into fairly small train models.
Henrik has built his coach to a much larger scale, however, and this allowed him to go a step further. This is visible in the detail on the outside, but it really shows in the interior.
I think there are definite advantages to building aircraft models on a larger scale, certainly when it comes to details of the shape. However, It's always a joy to see what Peter Dornbach (dornbi) can do with LEGO on a smaller scale.
Both his P-38J Lightning and his Mitsubishi A6M2 are instantly recognisable and most of the important bits are there. The latter even has folding wingtips.
"How's it feel to be on the front page of every newspaper in the English-speaking world, even though the other side denies the incident?" Top Gun is so cheesy, it's like mature cheddar wrapped in a slice of Emmental with some Parmesan sprinkled on top. Yet, when I first saw the movie as a teenager, I loved it. Not for the actors and certainly not for the scenes of sweaty fighter pilots playing volleyball, mind you, but because of the true star of the movie: the wonderful Grumman F-14 Tomcat. I have been a Tomcat fan ever since and have had at least one LEGO model of a Tomcat for at least 20 years.
I have been thinking about building a larger scale aircraft for about two years now. Seeing the excellent 1/18 F-16 by Everblack a few weeks ago, in combination with my ongoing movie vehicle project prompted me to finally have a go. If I was going to bite the bullet, it would have to be a Tomcat and it would have to be the one from Top Gun, cheesy or not.
The process was relatively painless. Building an aircraft at a different scale was interesting. Some of the solutions that I'm used to didn't really work, so I had to be a bit more inventive. However, the larger scale does have advantages. I had a lot more room to work with, which meant I could incorporate a lot of techniques that I normally don't have room for. It is 108 studs long, excluding the nose probe, and with the wings in their most forward position has a wingspan of 110 studs. This isn't small by any means, but it's also not quite so large that I had to worry too much about structural issues.
I know that there are some readers out there who are of the opinion that I do blog rather many of my own models and, admittedly, I have blogged a fair few. I build a lot more than the ones I blog though and, be honest, do you think the other guys wouldn't have blogged this if I weren't one of the contributors?
I wish that Hollywood would stop making watered-down renditions of Eighties classics, no matter how slick they are, and would instead focus on something new.
However, Marin Stipkovic's rendition of Robocop looks like a classic to me.
We have previously featured large airliners, but few (if any) of them built to minifig scale (Ryan McNaught's A-380 is technically only half an airliner). Calum Tsang started designing his minifig scale Boeing 777 back in 2006, shortly after one of the real aircraft set a new long-distance record for commercial airliners. He started building in 2011 and has recently fitted new wings and engines. This dedication has paid of, because it is big and it is beautiful.
The model is a whopping 200 studs long and has a similar wing span. With that size, Calum has had to use wood to strengthen the fuselage spine, as well as a few metal struts to support it, but it's a very nicely sculpted model. One of my favourite bits is the tail fin, with a brick-built version of the logo that LEGO use for the aircraft in recent City sets.
Building with LEGO professionally may sound like a dream job to many of us. Recently, whilst I was in the UK for Brighton Modelworld I caught up with Ed Diment (Lego Monster), who gave up his job as a management consultant more than two years ago to partner up with Duncan Titchmarsh, who is the UK's sole Lego Certified Professional. Together they run Bright Bricks.
We talked about being a professional LEGO-builder and discussed their latest event. From the 26th of February to the 27th of April, the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke (UK) hosts the Lost World Zoo. Bright Bricks and various members of the UK's LEGO community that were drawn in for this, built dozens of models of prehistoric creatures and plants, that are now on display in the museum. They were finishing the models for this during my visit and I lent a hand working on a 4 meter tall model of a Moa, which is an extinct New Zealand walking bird. They also built a massive sabre tooth tiger, which I photographed in the company workshop.
Two more smaller examples are the ammonite by Tim Goddard (Rogue Bantha and a sabre toothed squirrel, built by Joe Perez (Mortalswordsman).
Visitors to the museum can also take part in activities, such as building a life-size woolly mammoth out of LEGO bricks. Yes, you did read that right: life-size. These guys like to do things big.
The company has been steadily growing. It currently employs about a dozen people working full-time, as well as several more on a temporary basis. The growth has meant having to move several times, because space in the workshop kept running out. They're now based in a large unit on an industrial estate in Hampshire. Even though this is probably larger than all their previous workshops combined, the number of people, the large builds and the vast numbers of parts that they have in stock means that it can still be pretty difficult to move around in. The growth has also come with an increased amount of red tape. For instance, UK law requires a company of a given size to have an environmental policy and a health and safety policy, that includes having to find out how much heat is produced by a vast quantity of LEGO going up in flames. Ed probably spends more time on this and on dealing with clients and the media than he does on building. He still builds a lot, though, and with a seemingly endless supply of bricks. According to Ed, his current job is not as much fun as building AFOL models all day, but it is still definitely more fun than a regular job. Having spent a day putting more bricks together than I normally do in about a month, I can believe him (although I was still happy to go back to my day job).
If you're in the South of the UK, I highly recommend that go check out the Lost World Zoo.

Chatfield Hollow's Main Wall is the crown jewel of all the rope climbing in and around Chatfield State Park. People have been climbing here at the Main Wall since the early 1970's and new routes are still going up here today. The Main Wall at Chatfield has a good diversity routes in a beautiful hardwood forest setting. Chatfield's metamorphic gneiss rock is distinctively different from Central CT's trap rock. It has exquisitely featured grey and gritty overhanging walls, roofs, aretes, cracks, and slabs with a good mixture of grades for all climbers from a beginner climbing 5.3 to an expert climbing 5.13s. You will be amazed by the holds you have to use on the routes here: finger cracks, jugs, huge slopers, underclings, edges, pockets, and razor blade crimps.
Getting There
From Route 9 (Main cliff area): take Exit 9. Follow Route 81 south to Route 80 at the traffic circle, watch for park entrance signs on the right, drive a little farther, park on the left walk up the road 150yds past a little roadcut then head into the woods just before the guardrail (faint trail) head in cliff is less than 100yds away on the North side of the road.

A powerful and pumpy route. This climb maybe much harder for shorter climbers. This route requires a lot of core and shoulder strength and then the endurance to hold on. Start up the crimpy Hollow Head Crew start past three bolts, traverse left across forearm to the first bolt of Zeitgeist, make the big move up to the pinch and match. Then make a technical and big move left into Shape Shifter connecting with that routes 5th bolt and finish on that route out the roof.Video:youtu.be/AAxX...[more] Browse More Classics in CT

I don't think anyone loves their job quite like I do. Todays big duty: test out a java beta. Translation: install a script then play java games all day to make sure it's working properly. How cool is that?
Kevin and I didn't have so much as a squabble last night, so I think our initial problems are getting smoother. I love him so very much. He's losing weight at a rate of knots. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I'm very glad that he's getting healthier. No question. But sex is significantly less fun with lots of loose skin. And it sucks that I have to watch what I eat really carefully, where he scoffs junk food left and right and just drops the weight like nothingl. This is making my increasingly grumpy. But mostly I'm just glad that he's getting healthy. Type 2 diabetes runs in his family, and lowering any risk factors is so important.
I think chocolate milk might be my new addiction. Mm, I want a meat pie. It's time for lunch anyway. Food is so good right now. I dumbly bought 200$ of groceries last night, I think I'm just showing off how much better Australian food is than American food.
A friend came round last night and we cooked dinner. He works at a fish store, so he brought around come rainbow trumpeter. It was so very, very good. he did this chilli-cream sauce, and I made some rice, asparagus and sweet peas. Mmm, all this food talk is making me hungry. Tonight I think I'll make some tandoori beef with jasmin rice. That sounds good. I wanna get more into cooking curries.
TTC is making me nostalgic. When I was little my dad used to make the most amazing food. Well, he still does, I'm just not around to eat it. Still, his cooking got lazier as I got older. We used to have these unbelievably delicious curries, I have to find out how he made them. And the roasts! Oh, the roasts. I bought a leg of lamb, I'm not so bad at roasts myself but whenever I make these things it always feels like something is missing. I perfected his spaghetti bolognaise years ago, I make a better salad than him, but curries, roasts and stir fries I have yet to perfect.
Enough food talk, at least until after lunch.
I've been frequenting the debate forums. It's probably not good for my health. I'm reminded of the impromptu social experiment I accidentally performed when I was in highschool.
We were given an assignment for English. We had to write an argumentative essay and then present it to the class. Our choice of topic. I was always something of a savant at English so at this point assignments were a joke for me. The usual display of arguments came up. Abortion, contraception, culling of dingos and kangaroos, animal testing, anything a 15yo could think to debate. These were quietly tolerated by the class, but sparked no serious opinions. But mine... mine was a point of furious debate. Voices were raised, names called, the debate raged on for days. What was the topic of my essay, you ask?
Is coffee better than potatos?
Truly, this was a revelation to me about the debate mentality. I'm not entirely sure what conclusion I formed, but I've generally avoided provoking debate ever since. Let this be a lesson to you all.
Okay, that meat pie is calling me, I'll report back on its deliciousness.

That app...I would use that.
As a San Franciscan and soon to be G1 owner, I would actually use that app. Well, even better would be if it pointed to the nearest Republican and nearest Democratic districts. Maybe add total population of the voting district as well?
I'm thinking this could be useful because, to a limited degree, political party affiliation might be a signal for what kinds of shops and services are available in the area. So as I'm driving along I5 (the big-ass freeway that runs the length of California) and I want to find an area that has "my kind" of retail, then I can pull this up and know which way to head. And which way is not so promising.
Great idea, Ted. Make it so!

By Jim Beard & Tochi Onyebuchi
Christmas comes a bit early this year when on November 16, select Marvel comics will host a special story featuring Disney's Prep & Landing cast of characters.
That's right: Avengers Mansion will never be the same when Santa's little helpers, as seen in the Prep & Landing animated television specials, invade AVENGERS #19, MARVEL ADVENTURES SUPER HEROES #20 and MARVEL ADVENTURES SPIDER-MAN #20 for a gift bag full of mayhem and mirth. We caught up with Prep & Landing writer and director Kevin Deters to learn more about the exclusive story.
"I heard through the grapevine that [Marvel Chief Creative Officer] Joe Quesada was a big fan of the original Prep & Landing and last year's short 'Operation Secret Santa,' reports Deters. "He was really complimentary about the project so that got me thinking. I'm a life-long comic book fan and I always wanted to work in comics as a kid. I still read comics, and my sons read them. I realized that Prep & Landing could translate well into the comic medium.
"So we reached out to Joe and he thought it was a great idea. In fact, Joe had a fun idea of a way to let the universes touch on each other without directly interacting. And I've always been a big fan of the Avengers. When I was a kid you'd have a certain amount of money, and you could only buy a couple of comics. You always buy the group books, right? 'Cause they had more characters in them."
The story concerns elves Wayne and Lanny prepping Avengers Mansion for a visit from their jolly boss, unaware of the weighty significance of the building in which they go about their boisterous business.
"It's more of a tongue-in-cheek approach as far as the two universes just kind of glancing off each other," Deters says. "Lanny and Wayne, our elf characters, they don't really have an appreciation for where they are. The idea is that the Marvel reader will hopefully get the joke that 'oh, they don't realize they're in the Avengers Mansion,' and 'look at all this cool Marvel stuff that we're showcasing.' But the elves don't have an appreciation for it; they just think it's a really crazy house. So that's kind of the basic conceit of it."
"There is one slight cameo of a Marvel character, and there are a couple shots of some characters—you see the back of their heads—but, again, we didn't want to have anything like the characters meeting each other face to face or fighting villains together or anything like that. It's sort of a strange distinction, I know. I always think about those stories that Marvel used to do where the characters would sometimes visit the creators of the comics. They'd go to the Marvel Bullpen and talk to them and that kind of thing, and they'd be talking to Stan Lee or whoever. And those are always sort of done with a wink to the reader. And I was trying to channel the same kind of energy."
In some ways, Avengers Mansion itself becomes a character in its own right in the story, a situation inspired by a particular Marvel tale of yore.
"There was a great old Fantastic Four story that John Byrne did where one of the bad guys tries to sneak into the Baxter Building and the whole story is about how the Baxter Building takes him out," Deters notes. "That was an inspiration for our story. It's only eight pages long, but we tried to cram as much fun stuff in there as we could."
The transition from writing and directing animated television specials to overseeing a comic book story stands as one that Deters calls a "different challenge" to his vast experience. Fortunately, he also had the very best people to work with on the Marvel project.
"Joe Mateo illustrated the comic story; he's also in our Story Department, and he worked on all the Prep & Landing projects," he says. "He's a great artist and he also has a life-long love of comics and has always wanted to work in them. Comics and animation are both visual mediums, but I think when you're laying out a comic book page, you're thinking about the flow of the story across the page and across the different pages. That's a challenge that's unique to the comic medium, I think."
"Obviously, in animation, when you're storyboarding one panel to the next, you're concerned about the overall flow of the sequence and the overall flow of the movie. With comics, it's a different challenge when developing the story and visualizing it. And then, obviously, the actual putting pen to paper, I think, you want to have tighter pencils. Storyboards are sort of made to be thrown away. Storyboarding is all about clarity."
Overall, the experience grew into one that Deters can be proud of, and one he looks forward to springing on Marvel fans.
"Hopefully people will like what we have done," he muses. "I will say that the folks at Marvel have been really fantastic to work with. I couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of people—really great. It was a great labor of love and kind of a dream come true for both Joe Mateo and me to do a little bit of comic work. At Marvel, no less. That's pretty awesome. I have three sons and I think they're more excited about that than about anything else their dad's done, so I'm very proud of that. That's pretty cool.
"I can't wait to go to the store on that Wednesday and check out the books!"
Lanny and Wayne can next be seen this holiday season in "Prep & Landing: Naughty vs. Nice," airing on ABC on December 5th at 8:30/7:30 Central.

It's been 5,000 years since the Pyramids of Egypt were built, and human civilization has yet to top them in terms of sheer grandeur and size. These 80 massive structures, all built by hand – with some requiring 100,000 workers to labor over 20 seasons to build – dwarf the monuments of modern times in terms of every statistic you care to compare. Pyramids, for kids, explores the history, construction, and excavation of these royal tombs, starting with a fascinating look at the evolution of their design, from rock piles and flat-topped brick tombs to the perfectly proportioned pyramids we know and love today.
In this issue, kids will learn why the pyramids were built close to the Nile and how the construction process unfolded, using rafts, ramps, crude tools, and above all else, sheer manpower. They'll also read about the incredible effort and time it took to erect them; for example, to complete the Great Pyramid at Giza, which required 2.5 million stones, experts estimate that one 2.5-ton stone block – roughly the weight of two cars – had to be quarried and polished every two minutes for 23 years. The many traps, mazes, and secret chambers built into the pyramids to ward off grave robbers are also examined, along with the golden sarcophagi and gem-encrusted treasures found in the funeral chambers of many pyramids. For kids who like mummies, a section on the Egyptians' highly skilled embalming process is sure to be a gripping read too.
I know it says it's for kids, but everyone loves it!

The Tayside/Perthshire region
The Bothy is situated deep in the upper Tay valley, one of Highland Perthshire's prettiest and at the same time, most stunning landscapes yet only some 6 miles from the A9. We are situated within an easy car drive of Glen Lyon, the longest and some say the most attractive glen in all Scotland. Ben Lawers, Perthshire's highest Munro, is but 20 minutes drive away and this mountain range will challenge the hardiest of walkers. Nearby and only a few miles west of us lies Kenmore on the shores of Loch Tay, where there is plenty of watersport activity.
Aberfeldy itself has much to commend itself to the tourist with golf, cycling and water activity centres all based in the town. The town has some delightful eating establishments, notably the Habitat cafe, Ailean Chraggan hotel/restaurant and the Cafe Amour bistro - all highly rated by TripAdvisor reviewers. It is also the home of the famous Watermill cafe and bookstore, consistently rated one of the finest of its type in the country. Grandtully itself is a small village yet is the home of the renowned Highland Chocolatier and the famous UK kayaking and canoeing centre. Freespirits whitewater rafting and adventure centre is also based right by the river here next to the Inn on the Tay, also consistently highly rated for eating by TripAdvisor reviewers.

"Incredible Welcome, beautiful setting, amazing value!"
My partner and I stayed at the Bothy for three nights over valentines day. Sharon and the family gave us such a warm welcome (heart shaped homemade shortbread and locally roasted coffee, alongside conversation & information about the area).
We had a wonderful three days, in which we spent time in Aberfeldy, Pitlochry, Loch Tay and the surrounding areas. It was a welcome break for the hustle and bustle of the city and I would heartily recommend staying at the Bothy. Absolutely Brilliant!

On Friday Josh Freeman took time out of his busy schedule and made it into the Buccaneers team facilities on an off-day to have a meeting with Bucs quarterbacks coach Alex Van Pelt. Pelt and Freeman were both thinking the exact same thing ever since last Sunday when Freeman had a not so good game and did not do the one thing at the top of Pelt's list, that is take better care of the ball. Just ask Freeman I mean after all the first words out of his mouth upon entering the meeting was, "I have to take better care of the football."
Freeman has four interceptions through three weeks of play thus far, and that comes on the heels of only throwing six interceptions all of last season. Two of the four interceptions that Freeman has thrown this year came when the Bucs were in the red zone, desperately in need of points, and Freeman was just looking to make a play. It was a rookie mistake really, except for the fact that Freeman is not a rookie and those are the types of mistakes that he seemingly put behind him last year and was looking to avoid all together this year.
Freeman was constantly reminded by Pelt and Bucs head coach Raheem Morris that he needs to take better care of the ball and also make better decisions, just look at what Morris had to say about the situation when he was asked about Freeman having to make better decisions, "Oh, there's no doubt. We definitely want to take better care of the ball." Now Freeman is not taking offense to the comments by Morris and even admitted he's made mistakes this season, "Two turnovers in the red zone, that's just unacceptable. That's something you really don't anticipate doing or expect to do at any time. And we talk about it all the time."
Freeman's stats thus far in the season have been somewhat decent, he has completed 72 out of 106 pass attempts for 682 yards and only two touchdowns, but one of the big factors playing in Freeman's favor is his "clutch gene". Freeman has consistently made big plays in the fourth quarter to lead his team back to victory, 8 fourth quarter comebacks to be exact. Now the Bucs haven't made the playoffs with Freeman as starter so only time will tell if he is able to do the same in the post season but usually the clutch gene is not something you just forget on a big stage, that's usually when it's at it's best.

This was one part of a trim package for a fantastic client. His painting contractor was doing the finish. Stained rail and tread caps and painted panels. I didn't take any finish photos because it was so disappointing to see their work. The client wanted to know what I could do to fix it. I wanted to tell him a big fire..lol. As far as I know it still has a poor finish on it.
The rails and tread caps are maple and birch. The panels are birch ply with poplar frames and trim.

Very nice. I love how you incorporated the columns and newels. The finish can either make or break a project, its a shame when its the latter.

Well Gary, YOU done a beautiful job, we all learn, in time, that there is nothing WE can do when cliants screw up what we work so hard on. I know exactly how your feeling, I once built solid oak book shelves on all of three walls of the office of a very well know auther, he had them PAINTED WHITE, I'm still pissed.

That's the worst Lou. I did the finish carpentry on a period style restaurant for a local developer and all the interior woodwork was cherry. Well, one day he came in and decided there was to much stained woodwork and had the painter paint one of the dining rooms- unbelievable and I'm talking a lot of woodwork- Paneled wainscoting, plate rails and an 8 piece cornice. I guess if you're not paying the bills all you can do is grin and bear it.

Thanks guys! I think all of us in the trade have had someone come along and really mess up a project that you work so hard on. Then you can't even use the job as a reference because you don't want anyone to think that you did the finish.

I have had some of my hardwood projects painted as well, and I feel for you after seeing what a great job you did on this one with the panelling!
Hopefully the carpetlayers can create a nice finished edge.
I did one staircase similar to this where they stayed back about 1/4" inch, and the excuse was they thought there would be a molding or transition piece going over it… how to ruin the look in one chintzy move.

McDonnell Was Unaware of First $50,000 Loan From Williams
Bob McDonnell testified yesterday that he was unaware of the first $50,000 loan from Jonnie Williams to his wife. This directly challenges sworn testimony from Williams who said he spoke with the Governor about the loan and that he would not have made it otherwise.
Williams has been told he could go to prison if any of his testimony is found to be false.

It either hurts or feels like nothing. You don't know what to do, or what's wrong, and your partner is handling it really poorly. Here's some information and advice to the rescue.
Dating someone who's trans and feeling uncomfortable? How to look at what's going on and figure out what's really best for both of you.
Bra-Washing Is a Men's Issue….?
Men are really worried about the state of bra-washing in America. Sound like a satire or parody? It's not. (via Slate)
Feeling anxiety or shame about one's own genitals happens. Here are some things to consider and some approaches to learning to accept and embrace these body parts.
There is no legitimate overriding purpose for subjecting gays and lesbians to invidious discrimination based on sexual orientation, because, ultimately, once you chip away at arguments against same-sex marriage, you're left with nothing but "because it's gross." And "Ewww" is not a reason to deny an entire class of citizens a fundamental right.
Can a heterosexual woman have a healthy, happy sexual and romantic relationship with a queer man? You bet. But it might not be right for everyone.
Working with young people and sexuality daily, we frequently see users who have pervasive fears about becoming pregnant, even when they aren't taking risks to begin with.
Feeling interested in sex with a partner, but unsure and fearful about what other folks might think or say about it? Here's some help in figuring if you're up to that part of a sexual life.
There's no "should" for when and if we feel ready for any kind of sex, or want to engage in any kind of sex. And no one knows better than you when, and if, that time is.
Tennessee's "Don't Say Gay" bill is back and now this time it might force school officials to "out" any students who they suspect might be gay. In the face of much criticism, the bill's sponsor has unleashed one homophobic remark after another.

MZ is trying something different with its parallel twin 1000S and Streetfighter, but it lacks the X factor and doesn't have the kind of dealer/distributor back-up you need when buying a slightly oddball motorbike. Decent to ride, and the Streetfighter version looks more appealing than the 80s style S model, but hasn't really got anything novel or unique about it.

The Yamaha MT-01 has radical, straight-from-show-concept-bike styling allied to monstrous road presence which gives this motorcycle a kick-in-the-teeth visual appeal like no other.

Libya's troubled transition has taken another turn for the worse with serious and sustained violence blighting both Tripoli and Benghazi. Although the battle has been raging in the east since May 2014, it is the conflict in the capital that has all but brought the country to its knees.
Japan Collective Self Defence

Japanese embrace of collective self-defence should be seen in the context of increasing unease over rising Chinese military power and assertiveness in East Asia. While Shinzo Abe's move has been met by nationwide protests and disapproval from Beijing.

A ceasefire between Israel and Palestinian resistance forces has not proven successful in generating a permanent solution to end the fighting. This paper addresses why Netanyahu went to war, how the war has failed and why this failure has also become Egypt's failure.
Saudi's Strategic Invitation to Iran
Mansour al-Marzoqi al-Bogami
In the past, the KSA has been reluctant to receive any high-ranking Iranian officials, despite Iran's persistent efforts to secure a meeting. However, in May 2014, the KSA's foreign minister announced their invitation to the Iranian foreign minister, signalling a strategic foreign policy shift.

Title: The Evolution Of Speed In Athletics: Why The Fastest Runners Are Black And Swimmers White
Authors: ADRIAN BEJAN, EDWARD C. JONES & JORDAN D. CHARLES
Here we explain a much avoided phenomenon in the evolution of speed sports for men and women: The world records in running tend to be set by black athletes and in swimming by white athletes. We show that this phenomenon is predictable from physics. Locomotion is a 'falling-forward' cycle, in which body mass falls forward and then rises again. Mass that falls from a higher altitude falls faster, down and forward. In running, the altitude (L1) is set by the position of the center of mass above the ground. In swimming, the altitude is set by the upper body rising above the water, and it is proportional to H – L1, where H is the height of the athlete. The anthropometric literature shows that the center of mass in blacks is 3 percent higher above the ground than in whites. This means that blacks hold a 1.5 percent speed advantage in running, and whites hold a 1.5 percent speed advantage in swimming. Among athletes of the same height Asians are even more favored than whites in swimming but they are not setting records because they are not as tall.
Keywords: animal locomotion, constructal, evolution, running, speed sports, swimming

Hello, dear (at Overall Eesti AS)

Assignment 2: Complete map.
Would have been useful to participate on all lectures. It is not so healthy to take all this in within very limited time period.
Assignment 2: State Transition Diagrams, Petri nets
So far I've been filling the concept map while reading the text. This time will give a try to first take some notes, then build a map on the basis of these notes.
Here we go.
First, was the task? According to our course blog to
explain, using a concept map, how state transition diagrams and Petri nets can be used in human-computer interaction.
Strongly suggested readings for these tasks were:
How STD and Petri nets can be used to make computer more usable?
Just Enough Structured Analysis, Chapter 13: State-Transition Diagrams by Ed Yourdon
Extending State Transition Diagrams for the Specification of Human-Computer Interaction
by Anthony I. Wasserman (1985)
Notes on Chapter 13:
state-transition diagrams - modeling tool - for describing the required behaviour of real-time-systems + the human interface portion of many on-line systems
highlights time-dependent behaviour of a system. What kind of a system? Real time systems dealing with high-speed external sources of data. State represents some behaviour of the system that is observable and that lasts for some finite period of time.
Dozens of different states.
A system in order to change from one state to another has to have conditions that cause that change. A condition is an event detected by a system. The event is seen as signal, interrupt, or arrival of a packet of data. An input? So it sort of sets a goal to achieve? It has to take the actions, when it changes state.
STD used conjointly with DFD (dataflow diagram) to show sequence of activities within the system.
Notes on Wasserman very brief.
User Software Engineering general method for the specification of HCI
USE transition diagrams provide effective methods and tools for the engineering of Interactive systems.
Petri net also known as Place/transition net or P/T net is mathematical modeling language. Petri nets were invented in 1939 by Carl Adam Petri at age 13
for process analysis
Notes on process of mapping itself. If process of constructing a concept map is interrupted for couple of hours, it is easier to get back on track than with notes in written form. I struggled to connect notions.

A new study finds one of the most "germy" things in a doctor's office is a stethoscope.
Swiss researchers looked at the amount of bacteria on stethoscopes and compared it to what's found on doctors' hands.
The diaphragm of the stethoscopes was more contaminated than the palm of the physicians' hands.
Researchers said this should serve as a helpful reminder to health care workers to sterilize their stethoscopes frequently.

This blog is part of our "SUMMER STRESS DETOX!" Series
Time to clear your slate—and start the summer season refreshed and revitalized. To that end, Experience Life has partnered with meQuilibrium, the first-ever online stress management system, to bring you this 8-part series on detoxing mind, body, and spirit. You'll discover strategies for everything from rethinking your diet to clearing clutter and shifting your stress response so that you can feel lighter, cleaner, and healthier than ever. (Learn more about the 28-day summer stress detox challenge!)
Step 5: Retool Your Habits
You learned how habitual thinking can create stress in your life. Habitual behaviors can do the same thing (checking your phone every minute, eating when you're not hungry). Habits are prime for detoxing because you do them every day—and the bad ones add up. Plus, because they fly under the radar, you may not even realize the impact they have.
This week, become an observer of your own habits. It'll give you insight into what you do and why—and a leg up on changing them.
If you've ever reached for food when you weren't hungry, you know what it is to be an unconscious eater. The problem is, stress drives you to eat certain foods, even when they make you feel lousy, and the more you eat unhealthy types and amounts of food, the less able you are to make positive changes. It's a vicious cycle.
Ask yourself:
What am I really hungry for?
The next time you catch yourself reaching for a bag of something, standing in front of fridge, or staring into the pantry, ask yourself, are you actually experiencing hunger right now? What are you feeling—boredom, anxiety, restlessness? Pinpoint the habitual thought or emotion that caused it. Maybe what you're really hankering for is connection, a change of scenery, or a break. By looking that urge straight in the eye you can control your response.
>>TRY IT: Replace the behavior.
Once you've caught yourself in the act and identified the need, seek to fulfill it in a new way. Instead of noshing on a handful of cookies, call a friend. Bypass the pantry and head outside for a brisk walk. Shift gears from your current task and watch some funny videos. By consciously addressing the real need without food, you can begin to break loose from an age-old habit—and maybe lose a few pounds, too.
We surveyed 15,000 members of the meQuilibrium community about their digital habits. Sixty-one percent of them said that they can't ignore their phones when they beep, buzz, or ping—and 81 percent interrupt conversations, meals, and other activities to do it. (Read more about what we found.)
Ask yourself:
How do I feel afterwards? When you removed certain foods from your diet in Week 2's food-based detox, you paid attention to how your body felt without them, and then as you added them back in. Same goes for digital habits. Sixty-one percent of our respondents said they felt jealous, annoyed, even depressed after checking status updates. And if you realize it makes you feel bad, there's one more reason not to do it as much.
>>TRY IT: Experiment with an unplugged hour. Notice what it's like to be off the digital grid for a set period of time. Maybe you love it; maybe you're antsy. That's ok. Take note of it. What are the benefits for you of having that time to yourself or with someone else? When you log back on later, what did you miss? Anything big? Probably not.
If you aren't sleeping adequately or well, it's hard to function at a base level, let alone support detoxing efforts. Your days may be nonstop, but that's all the more reason to guard your shuteye. Make a concerted effort to break your bad sleep habits and your mind and body will thank you.
Ask yourself:
How do I spend the hour before I fall asleep? If you pass out after midnight with the TV on and no fewer than two digital devices pinging away, you're not setting yourself up for the best rest possible. When's the last time you actually prepared for sleep? It's tempting to want to jam all you can into the tail end of your day, but it's likely not your most productive hour.
>>TRY IT. Give yourself a one-hour countdown. To improve your sleep, you have to prepare for it, not hope it shows up while you're busy doing other things. If you'd like to be asleep by 11 p.m., then set an alarm for 10 p.m. to kickoff your new nighttime ritual. Power down the devices, switch off the TV, and shift gears: Take a shower or bath, do some gentle stretching, make some herbal tea, turn down the lights. Send your body and mind cues that sleep is near.
Want to make an even more dramatic change? Take the 28-day summer stress detox challenge!

I live in the UK but I keep very involved in American TV, I watch it at American pace, I look at the overnights every day to see which shows did well etc.
Anyway why is the CW always coming last. I can never work it out. It has great shows which I know a lot of people watch except the ratings don't reflect it. I know CW is mainly amied at teens so I understand the Demo results but viewing figures should be at least 5 million in my opinion.
So what is it that is making The CW so low in the overnights? Maybe someone from the USA can explain it because from what I can see it's a fairly decent channel.

T S Eliot featured in Freedom to Shine on 19 April 2010
The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimneypots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.
The morning comes to consciousness
Of faint stale smells of beer
From the sawdust-trampled street
With all its muddy feet that press
To early coffee-stands.
With the other masquerades
That times resumes,
One thinks of all the hands
That are raising dingy shades
In a thousand furnished rooms.
You tossed a blanket from the bed
You lay upon your back, and waited;
You dozed, and watched the night revealing
The thousand sordid images
Of which your soul was constituted;
They flickered against the ceiling.
And when all the world came back
And the light crept up between the shutters
And you heard the sparrows in the gutters,
You had such a vision of the street
As the street hardly understands;
Sitting along the bed's edge, where
You curled the papers from your hair,
Or clasped the yellow soles of feet
In the palms of both soiled hands.
His soul stretched tight across the skies
That fade behind a city block,
Or trampled by insistent feet
At four and five and six o'clock;
And short square fingers stuffing pipes,
And evening newspapers, and eyes
Assured of certain certainties,
The conscience of a blackened street
Impatient to assume the world.
I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing.
Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
By T S Eliot
Strong image, Anthea!
Wow, I love this, so powerful and abstract, yet so beautiful too! :D

Nice jacket but fit is a little snug...
By Livvy1030
from Mississauga, Ontario
I received the jacket and the quality stays true to its name and it is well made. BUT I found it to fit a little snug around the shoulders/arms. I am a medium by size, but I had to return the item in exchange for larger size.I still love the jacket, just be warn that it might fit a little small for some. Keep in mind that not all sizes are the same.I still LOVE the item and recommend it to others.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Really nice jacket...
By Babs
from Misssissauga
I've purchased another Anne Klein coat and loved the quality. This jacket is both stylish and is very well made. It is very dressy so it can be worn out to dinner with both skirts or pants...it also looks good with jeansIt fits true to size and is light weight and roomy enough to put a heavy sweater underneath.I love it...
