"Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." The gospel of Matthew, chapter 16, verse 18.
Stephanie's Bakery Speeder is my alternate build with set #3930 Stephanie's Outdoor Bakery -- using ONLY all the parts from this one small set: www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=3930-1
When Stephanie closes up for the day, she can speed home with this creation. Or, if she gets a call for a delivery, she can make it quick! Speeder is milk-powered, so no pollution -- only sweet smelling exhaust :-D

*This is another of my Alternate build set: www.flickr.com/photos/legomymamma/sets/72157629387481677/...
Showing how imagination can transform any set by itself -- no matter what the box art displays -- into anything you can dream!
Think outside the box ;-)
Three California State University, Northridge (CSUN) BUILD PODER trainees, (from left) Dayana Banuelos, Ashley Ward and Steven Meza, were featured in the Fall 2016 CSUN Magazine for its research issue. BUILD PODER is CSUN’s Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) program, which is part of the NIH Common Fund’s Diversity Program Consortium. Ward is one of the first nine BUILD PODER students to graduate May 2017, and she is now at the University of Colorado, Denver, earning a doctorate in cancer biology. Banuelos, a psychology major, and Meza, an engineering major, both completed competitive summer research programs at research institutions and will be graduating spring 2018 with plans to pursue PhDs.

Tim Brown, the CEO of product design firm IDEO, hosted a MLab Experimentation Jam today.
“The fastest way to learn is to build it. We build to think. We prototype to learn.”
while in a focus group with surgeons, they grabbed what they could and cobbled together a prototype… and quickly learned what would be cumbersome and what would work for a nasal router of sorts.
“Management often picks from a set of choices. In design, we try to create choices.”
“How can we look out at the world for inspiration, not answers?”
Role Play. Improv.
Side survey: 70% Macs and 60% “non right-handed” people at IDEO.
Gary Hamel, on right, opened with “stupidity is contagious.”
This is the Bluejacket 24 designed by Tom Lathrop. The pictured craft is Tom's boat " Liz" which is berthed in Oriental, NC.
Besides meeting my ideal of what a proper powerboat should look like, Tom has blended together a remarkable combination of performance and economy in boat design. The hull design allows the boat to plane at around 9 knots. When going on or coming off plane, the boat stays relatively flat thus avoids a pronounced bow raising and a stern wallowing in the seaway. With a 50 hp four stroke outboard, the BJ 24 can obtain about 24 knots max speed in calm water. Running at 14 knots she gets about 8 mpg depending on sea state.
Around 2003, I purchased plans for the BJ 24. In 2006 I designed a three car garage for my home outside of Austin, TX and included a bay that is 14' wide by 12' high and 30' deep to build and house the Bluejacket 24. I had this bay's concrete slab poured level. After completing the garage, I discovered Tom's BJ 25.5 and ordered a plan upgrade. Tom also offers BJ 27, 271 and 28' designs.
The BJ 25.5 has the additional 1.5 feet in the pilot house area thus has a dinette table which converts to an additional berth. I plan on using at least a 60 hp outboard engine.
My BJ 25.5 will be kept in the garage and launched at our waterfront community's excellent boat ramp on Lake Travis. But will the garage be long enough to house the longer boat? This could prove to be a very big "duh" moment. I have aspirations of trailering my Bluejacket thoughout our nation with Lake Powell and the Tennessee River being preferred locations.
My thanks to Ed Fredholm who is building a BJ 27 fifty minutes from my build site in the Austin, TX area. He has been my mentor and a master at researching materials and product sources. Ed's photo postings have been invaluable to me. Hopefully my photos and narratives will be beneficial to aspiring and on-going Bluejacket builders.
And finally, a great deal of gratitude goes to Tom Lathrop for his brilliant design. When I started the build, I assumed that I would make improvements to Tom's design to meet my unique needs or make marginal improvements in function based on my 40 years of boating experience . To date, I have only added a twig here and there. I accept the reality that Tom is the master and I'm the student. I will cherish all that I will have learned upon completion of my Bluejacket.

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the fourth week of September, 2016.
On a rare trip down to the Harbour area, just to check out progress here. Throughout the summer, this is where the heavy-duty engineering works have been taking place.
This is a section of the flood protection scheme that I have pretty much ignored -- it's inconvenient for me to access, and others cover it much better.
Check out 'Turgidson'.
Standing on an access bridge, adjacent to the Bray Boxing Club (from whence sprang Katie Taylor, and others of illustrious note), looking back up the river, towards the town direction.
In the foreground is the Railway bridge, and in the distance we can see some construction works taking place on the Ravenswell Road, temporarily closed due to on-going works.
That is the site of the old Bray Golf Club -- hotly contested as a (potentially) poorly considered site for a shopping centre development complex, and still an area of ground that has to act as a flood plain in the event of tidal surges.
The Irish Rail Bridge, Bray Harbour:
Phase 1 flood defence works to the Irish Rail bridge commenced in August 2016.
Phase 2 flood defence works will be completed during May to September 2017. This work is being undertaken directly by Irish Rail.
The work includes strengthening the integrity of the bridge by creating buttresses around the base of each pillar.
To do this they have to pile-drive sheets into the river bedrock.
The work is complicated by;
(a) the need not to damage or disturb in any way the actual bridge itself (Irish Rail train and DART carriages pass overhead on an hourly basis), (b) the confined spaces under the bridge, and (c) the twice-daily rising tides from Bray Harbour which spill upriver into the newly expanded basin.
To create proper foundations for the columns, the guys will have to drive steel piles deep into the bed of the river. Similar to work done elsewhere. Within that waterproof chamber, they'll set/pour concrete to build the columns.
The (future) pile driving work involves a sub-contractor using an excavator-mounted vibratory pile driver – possibly a ‘Movax’ model. That’s the combination they used in 2014 with the work opposite La Vallee.
Right now, they're in the preliminary stages of building work platforms around the stone buttresses of the Irish Rail bridge.

U-Build Monopoly Board Game. Honeycomb shaped pieces snap together allowing you to make the board game track as Long or as Short as you like. Dramatically altering playing time ! From the Collection of Mike Mozart of TheToyChannel and JeepersMedia on YouTube! U-Build Monopoly Hasbro Board Game Set.
My entry for the CSL 3.5 Contest. I went with a rally inspired make-up and added some extra bells and whistles.
Quebradillas, PR: Soldiers from the 448th Engineer Battalion assisted the Quebradillas Municipal Government in the construction of a basketball court in a rural community of the municipality. The soldiers prepared the terrain, constructed of 100' x 55' concrete slab and the painted of the court. The project was completed in 3 phases. SFC Samuel Rivera Ramos designed and painted the 1st MSC logo in the center of the court.

After short mileage today in buffeting winds, I declared this a "build night." The Cycles Toussaint Velo-Routier frame and fork have hung from a rafter hook since last year and I decided this night I would build her back up for occasional Spring gravel riding. To be honest, the allure of gravel has - for the most part, anyway - eluded me. I far prefer exploring neglected and forgotten back roads, those crumbling chipsealed blacktop roads few people except locals have need to travel. My Boulder meets those needs quite well, but from time to time I like to mix things up on a dedicated 650b rig.
