In our modern world of one and three step Transformers figure, it`s nice to revisit a time when brainpower and spatial awareness was needed to actually play with these thing.

 

For the unitiated, Binaltech (or Alternators outside of Japan) was a line of Transformer figures that featured 1:24 scale licensed vehicle modes for a few of the G1 Transformer crew. All vehicles featured opening doors and an actual console area, so if you had 1:24 scale figures you could put them inside. Each figure also featured a component (usually the engine, though no so much in the case of Meister) that transformed into the weapon for the figure.

 

I never did finsh my collection, but came across these four on kijiji selling for $15 a pop.

 

The line was definitely ahead of its time, and could probably be considered the basis of Alternity and Masterpiece lines.

 

While the Hasbro versions featured basic, unpainted plastic, the Takara version, while costing $20 - $30 CAD more per figure, featured the use of die cast metal parts and a kick ass paint job.

 

The metal did add some issues from a posing perspective, but damn did they ever look nice.

 

Complexity of transformation definitely rivals current Masterpiece levels. Robot modes were hit and miss, with the good news being that these were homage figures, rather than having to match an actual animation model.

Burd is a left-handed (left winged?) psychologist exploring the active role genetics could play on the advancement of birdbrainpower. Burd has an identical mirror image twin called Burt. Although they share the same DNA and an unfortunate common ancestry, Burd is very relieved that Burt has his own fingerprints and statue stool samples. Nobody has (or cares to admit they have) seen Burt in years. Burd believes he may find Burt without the help of a detective one day. He is often quoted as saying: “The purpose of all this pulp psychology is to give me a wholly, jolly hint of where Burt is - although I don't consciously admit to care".

The Pulitzer and the Contemporary combined brainpower, manpower, and creative juices to produce a fun-filled craft booth at the Earthways Green Homes Festival on Saturday, September 27, 2008. The trick was to come up with crafts that fit Earthways' theme of recyclable materials but also aligned with the Pulitzer light project concept. All in all, a great success!

 

Fabulous Craft #1 was a crayon muffin. Mmm! Kids chose old bits of crayon and put them in a muffin tin. Then we melted the old crayons in a solar-powered oven, let the soupy crayons harden, and voila! Kids had new muffin-shaped crayon to take home with them! Kids also decorated planters made out of recycled cans and then planted a seeds inside. For the last project, kids constructed lanterns from recycled cardboard containers that came with a light cord set-up and bulb. Children of all ages thoroughly enjoyed our projects, and hopefully learned a little more about recycling in the process. Thanks to Earthways for inviting us to be a part of the Green Homes Festival!

There are a lot of parents out there with college students who are entering final exam time. Whether it’s their first year or their senior year, there is still a lot of stress and little extra time to take care of life’s necessities.

   

This time of year is the perfect opportunity to send your student a care package. To take the hassle out of thinking what to include, we’ve provided a go-to list on what to put into the box! Remember to include extras since roommates will be looking to share!

   

Useful items

   

Let’s start with the necessary items first. Since it’s the end of the year, school supplies might be running short. Include a couple of pencils, pens, highlighters and sticky notes. If your child is moving out of the dorm or having to pack up all their belongings for the summer, consider buying things cheap since all these items could get thrown away in the end of the year cleanup.

   

And speaking of that, if deep cleaning will need to take place prior to heading out for the summer, add supplies to the package. This will prevent your student from having to run to the store while also juggling studying, packing, and sleeping.

   

Brainpower food

   

While chips and sweets may be fun to nibble on while pouring over books, it’s important your student maintains a healthy diet. Nuts—specifically walnuts—are a top food for brain health. Visit the Vending Nut Company in Fort Worth to create a custom nut combination specifically tailored for your child. If you can’t make it to their store, they also sell gift tins that can be shipped directly. Dried fruits, granola bars and bottles of water are also great options to include.

   

Fun food

   

In addition to healthy food, everyone loves a treat now and then. Finals are the perfect excuse to send a favorite treat! In addition to candy, consider treating them to themed iced cookies. You can order custom cookies featuring the college mascot or colors from local Fort Worth bakery, Haute Cakes and Cookies. If your student is local, Tiff’s Treats is another option and an easy way to send warm chocolate chip cookies and milk straight to the library!

   

Gift cards

   

In addition to the stress, the end of the year can get expensive. Between putting deposits down for new apartments and all the opportunities to go out with friends one last time, money can easily become tight. Include gift cards to your student’s favorite restaurants or coffee shops to help ease the financial burden.

   

Add a note

   

Finish the care package off with a note of encouragement. With tensions running high and stress from tests and papers piling up, a reminder of the support of your parents can mean a lot. No matter how old your child is, a sincere note can change their day. If your child is returning for the summer, remind them that you are happy to have them home. It can be hard to transition from the freedom of college back into the home with rules and curfews. Reminding them they are welcome and that you’re happy to have them will make the transition easier.

   

School is almost over and, with it, finals! If you have any favorites for care packages, make sure to let us know for our packages next year!

Tournage d'un film sur Tyler Hamilton pendant le "Tour de france 2003".

Le film est au format IMAX

In our modern world of one and three step Transformers figure, it`s nice to revisit a time when brainpower and spatial awareness was needed to actually play with these thing.

 

For the unitiated, Binaltech (or Alternators outside of Japan) was a line of Transformer figures that featured 1:24 scale licensed vehicle modes for a few of the G1 Transformer crew. All vehicles featured opening doors and an actual console area, so if you had 1:24 scale figures you could put them inside. Each figure also featured a component (usually the engine, though no so much in the case of Meister) that transformed into the weapon for the figure.

 

I never did finsh my collection, but came across these four on kijiji selling for $15 a pop.

 

The line was definitely ahead of its time, and could probably be considered the basis of Alternity and Masterpiece lines.

 

While the Hasbro versions featured basic, unpainted plastic, the Takara version, while costing $20 - $30 CAD more per figure, featured the use of die cast metal parts and a kick ass paint job.

 

The metal did add some issues from a posing perspective, but damn did they ever look nice.

 

Complexity of transformation definitely rivals current Masterpiece levels. Robot modes were hit and miss, with the good news being that these were homage figures, rather than having to match an actual animation model.

The Pulitzer and the Contemporary combined brainpower, manpower, and creative juices to produce a fun-filled craft booth at the Earthways Green Homes Festival on Saturday, September 27, 2008. The trick was to come up with crafts that fit Earthways' theme of recyclable materials but also aligned with the Pulitzer light project concept. All in all, a great success!

 

Fabulous Craft #1 was a crayon muffin. Mmm! Kids chose old bits of crayon and put them in a muffin tin. Then we melted the old crayons in a solar-powered oven, let the soupy crayons harden, and voila! Kids had new muffin-shaped crayon to take home with them! Kids also decorated planters made out of recycled cans and then planted a seeds inside. For the last project, kids constructed lanterns from recycled cardboard containers that came with a light cord set-up and bulb. Children of all ages thoroughly enjoyed our projects, and hopefully learned a little more about recycling in the process. Thanks to Earthways for inviting us to be a part of the Green Homes Festival!

In our modern world of one and three step Transformers figure, it`s nice to revisit a time when brainpower and spatial awareness was needed to actually play with these thing.

 

For the unitiated, Binaltech (or Alternators outside of Japan) was a line of Transformer figures that featured 1:24 scale licensed vehicle modes for a few of the G1 Transformer crew. All vehicles featured opening doors and an actual console area, so if you had 1:24 scale figures you could put them inside. Each figure also featured a component (usually the engine, though no so much in the case of Meister) that transformed into the weapon for the figure.

 

I never did finsh my collection, but came across these four on kijiji selling for $15 a pop.

 

The line was definitely ahead of its time, and could probably be considered the basis of Alternity and Masterpiece lines.

 

While the Hasbro versions featured basic, unpainted plastic, the Takara version, while costing $20 - $30 CAD more per figure, featured the use of die cast metal parts and a kick ass paint job.

 

The metal did add some issues from a posing perspective, but damn did they ever look nice.

 

Complexity of transformation definitely rivals current Masterpiece levels. Robot modes were hit and miss, with the good news being that these were homage figures, rather than having to match an actual animation model.

  

Rex Tillerson was a part-time truth-teller. In one national security meeting, he had the piercing insight and honesty to call Donald Trump “a moron” – possibly an Anglo-Saxon kind of moron. Yet, like his boss, he lacked the self-awareness to know that the same critique applied to himself, as the moron’s secretary-of-state.

 

There were clues along the way, many of them spotted by the man he so openly disdained. It was the moron-in-chief who challenged the moron-of-state to an open contest of intellectual power. “I think it’s fake news,” Trump told Forbes magazine, dismissing the moronic comments. “But if he did [say] that, I guess we’ll have to compare IQ tests. And I can tell you who is going to win.”

 

Genius. At some point, you just have to surrender to this kind of brainpower.

 

But Tillerson did not have the smarts to take his analytical powers all the way to their conclusion, by building a formidable citadel of diplomacy at the state department. Instead of counter-balancing the moronic foreign policy coming out of the White House, he dismantled his own staff and budget at his headquarters in Foggy Bottom.

 

At the same time, he was forced to endure a constant stream of childish taunts from his boss, who used his Twitter thumbs to tell him – and the rest of the world – that his outreach to North Korea was totally useless.

 

“I told Rex Tillerson, our wonderful secretary of state, that he is wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” his wonderful boss tweeted in October. “Being nice to Rocket Man hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t fail.”

 

Why ever would it work now? That’s a great question Tillerson should ask Trump if he gets an exit interview. Or maybe that was the cause of the exit interview.

 

That teensy difference of opinion – now rendered moot by Trump’s decision to sit down with Kim Jong-un – led to some more truth-telling about Tillerson and Trump, this time from Bob Corker, the Republican senator who chairs the foreign relations committee.

 

“You cannot publicly castrate your own secretary of state,” Corker told the Washington Post, without undermining your own diplomacy.

 

That naturally led Tillerson to protestthat he was fully intact, in terms of his own testicles. Looking back on his career as the nation’s chief diplomat, Tillerson might pinpoint this as the foggiest of bottoms.

 

Tillerson cannot simply blame his obviously inept manager for this misery because he clearly castrated himself. In two successive budgets, he presided over the systematic dismantling of the diplomatic machinery he was supposed to be operating.

 

In year one, he agreed to an astonishing 31% cut to his own budget, followed by a 29% cut the following year. The proposed budgets would have decimated his own staff and operations, as well as international aid, and were mostly ignored by Congress last year.

 

Tillerson didn’t much mind the cuts. In fact he rationalized them by saying he wouldn’t need so much money because he was well on his way to solving the world’s problems.

 

“Part of this bringing the budget numbers back down is reflective of an expectation that we’re going to have success in some of these conflict areas, getting these conflicts resolved and moving to a different place in terms of the kind of support we have to give,” he told a foreign policy crowd late last year.

 

If that doesn’t qualify you for moronic status, it’s not clear what will.

 

Tillerson arrived in his job with all the executive skills you might expect after a very long and triumphant career at the top of one of the biggest corporations in the world: ExxonMobil, where he was CEO for a decade.

 

Sadly all those executive skills did not include the ability to retain or build a senior staff at the state department, where the exodus of experience and talent has been a diplomatic blowout. He refused briefings from senior staff and refused to talk to the press. He hollowed out the senior ranks with no rhyme or reason, leaving critical posts unfilled, while others simply quit or retired. Among them was the leading foreign service official on North Korea, who retired just two weeks ago.

 

Tillerson’s tenure was so bad, it prompted some rare bipartisan agreement. “America’s diplomatic power is being weakened internally as complex global crises are growing externally,” warned John McCain and Jeanne Shaheen, the Republican and Democratic senators, in a letter to Tillerson late last year.

 

And yet even the hapless and hopeless Tillerson could sometimes tell the truth to his even more hapless and hopeless boss. He disagreed on the Iran nuclear deal, which is at least consistent with talking to the North Koreans.

 

He even disagreed on Russia, a little: saying the nerve agent attack in the UK was “clearly” the work of Russia on Monday, even as the White House refused to say Moscow was involved. Just last week Tillerson admitted that the Russians would meddle with this year’s midterm elections, although he somehow couldn’t find a way to spend any money to stop that interference.

 

His successor, Mike Pompeo, was more forceful in recently condemning Russian interference, but as CIA director, it isn’t exactly obvious what he has done to stop it.

 

Where did Tillerson’s confidence and tenacity come from, if it wasn’t his competence in the job? Perhaps his partial truth-telling was the result of his overwhelming financial security. It’s a bit easier to stand up to your boss when you get a $180m retirement package before joining the administration.

 

So farewell then, Rex. There have been only a handful of notable Rexes in our time. There was the exceptional Rex Harrison, the actor who spoke his way through so many great musicals. There were a couple of Rex Hunts, one a former Falklands governor, another a former Australian football player.

 

Tillerson: you are only middling on this short list. You have been tragic, but you are no Oedipus, Rex.

The trick was to come up with crafts that fit Earthways' theme of recyclable materials but also aligned with the Pulitzer light project concept. All in all, a great success!

 

Fabulous Craft #1 was a crayon muffin. Mmm! Kids chose old bits of crayon and put them in a muffin tin. Then we melted the old crayons in a solar-powered oven, let the soupy crayons harden, and voila! Kids had new muffin-shaped crayon to take home with them! Kids also decorated planters made out of recycled cans and then planted a seeds inside. For the last project, kids constructed lanterns from recycled cardboard containers that came with a light cord set-up and bulb. Children of all ages thoroughly enjoyed our projects, and hopefully learned a little more about recycling in the process. Thanks to Earthways for inviting us to be a part of the Green Homes Festival!
