Got a tube in the mail today from the nice people at NetLife Research with a UX Challenge towel/flag/sling (?) which I hung under my "IAs do it for the experience" decal. They also sent their Bad Usability Calendar 2009, sweet! :) Thanks NetLife Research!

You have to wonder these days what new cadets consider to be “fun.” That was the word many from the Class of 2018 used to describe the Zilinski Challenge Aug. 10 at Camp Buckner.
Squads were tested on physical strength and endurance throughout the challenge while graded on several soldier skills they’ve learned during Cadet Basic Training, like donning and sealing a protective mask, land navigation, assembling the radio and calling in for medical evacuation.
Somewhat a departure from previous Buckner challenges that used Zodiacs to get squads around a short course on Lake Popolopen, this time the squad had to low crawl across the beach and head first into the cold, murky water.
They also low crawled and swung through two obstacles at Marne, and completed three others at the Anzio Obstacle Course.
Perhaps the fun was at the Buckner Parade Field where legs buckled and bodies crumbled after a series of physical challenges. First, the Humvee push—about 300-400 meters across concrete and grass, assumably the best of both worlds. Then, imagine all that was left of the vehicle was one, huge tire. The squad had to push that back and forth another sizeable distance. Pushups, buddy carries, flutter kicks and pullups would follow before they were tested on assembling a swiss seat for rappelling.

August 12 - Longest Trip (Time Wise)
In December 1986 I was in my third semester at Central Michigan University & failing miserably. I grew up rather sheltered (& I was shy, too). I had never dated, was a bit socially awkward, I had never lived away from home and I had never been around alcohol. High School had been quite easy for me so I had no idea how to study on my own either. All this left me ill equipped to deal with life at a major university many miles from everyone I knew. Don't get me wrong, I accept responsibility for failing- I should have gotten help when I realized I was in over my head. I wasn't a total waste though- I did get quite an education about life!
Anyway, my Aunt Pat & Uncle Duane (step-actually) knew that I needed to get away for awhile to clear my head & decide what to do next so they sent me a plane ticket to spend 15 days with them at their house just outside the tiny town of Argyle, Texas. I got on the plane in Grand Rapids in the middle of a blizzard and got off in Dallas to sunny 75 degree weather. It was exactly what I needed! I had a great time & got some great advice, too!
This car took part in the Aston Martin GT Challenge race at the Aston Martin Owners Club's meeting at Oulton Park in May 2017 and is seen here during the race at Druids Corner. It's a 2009 Ferrari F430 Challenge and was driven in the 50 minute long race by Richard Cook and Harvey Stanley. The Ferrari F430 Challenge, which has a 4,308cc V8 engine, replaced the 360 Challenge and was produced from 2007 to 2001, being succeeded by the 458 Challenge.
*Flashback* Part 3, Image 12
Geological Research vessel, Glomar Challenger, here we were approaching the first drill site after leaving Abidjan, Ivory coast. February 1975.
The image shows the acoustic beacon ready to be released at the drill site.
On top of the beacon assembly is a ring of glass spheres enclosed in protective plastic covers to keep the top of the beacon facing the surface of the ocean, an anchor kept the device in place on the ocean floor.
After dropping the beacon the ship continued on it course for about twenty minutes then a 180 º turn was executed that brought the ship back to the site, by then the beacon settled on the ocean bed and emitted an acoustic signal every 10 seconds. Four Hydrophones below the ship picked up the signal and the positioning computer evaluated that info and send signals to the electric propulsion systems, consisting of the main propulsion bow and stern thrusters to maintain position over the drill site.

I was about to set up something completely different when I spotted the pattern on the ceiling.
That'll do nicely ... although I had to take several shots at this as I needed to lay my camera on the carpet so couldn't frame it easily.

As Found on eBay:
This is an amazing opportunity for you to own a nostalgic piece of automobile history!
Dodge marketed this Mitsubishi-built car in the late 70’s and early 80’s as the Challenger. A sister model, the Sapporo was also marketed by Plymouth. These much loved cars have all but disappeared from the face of the planet but this Challenger has survived and never ceases to cause a stir!
The Challenger came very well equipped for the time with a big 2.6 liter 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, 14-inch radial tires with raised-white letters mounted on alloy-wheels, full instrumentation including a tachometer, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, overhead console with digital clock and pivoting map light and dual power side mirrors just to name a few features. This car is equipped with a MOPAR air conditioning system (not currently working) and a period correct AM/FM cassette stereo.
It is finished in a factory two-tone color scheme of Bright Blue Metallic (B22) and Warm White (W61). The interior on this car is an amazing blast from the past! The blue and white with blue, white and red plaid inserts is completely original and in terrific shape! The color-matched louvers on the side windows were standard but the louvers on the rear window were an aftermarket accessory. The rear louvers lift up for easily window cleaning or can be easily removed for a more stock look. Clearly the car has been loved and well cared for its 34 years.
For its time the Challenger was a unique car not only to look at but also to drive. This Challenger runs and drives terrifically! The engine has good power and the transmission shifts smoothly. It cruises at freeway speeds with no problems. We recently installed a remanufactured carburetor and muffler and tailpipe. It passed California emissions on 6/22/12. I just completed a couple hundred mile trip in the car and it performed very well!
THE GOOD
Clearly this car is a survivor and is one of what must be very, very few Challengers left in original condition. There are just tick over 95,000 miles on the odometer which (based on the car’s condition) are assumed to be correct. Mechanically the car starts, runs, drives and stops well. The interior is an amazing time capsule as you can see from the photos. All the gauges, the radio, the overhead console with clock, the dual power mirrors and intermittent wipers work. The car is like it was back in the 70’s right down to the original Mitsubishi ignition key. The car comes with an owner’s manual and shop manual as well as an original sales brochure. It is ready for you to drive and enjoy.
THE NOT SO GOOD
Though in great condition overall, this car is 34 years old and has a few dings and scratches here and there. There is a small amount of surface rust on the lower rockers of the front fenders which is characteristic of these cars. Though the finish is brilliant, the clear coat on the hood and roof are crazed and a meticulous owner might want to have those parts refinished. There is an aftermarket power antenna installed that does not work. As previously mentioned the air conditioner is not working. There is a chip in the plastic on the driver’s side mirror and one of the vents in the center of the dash is missing. Each seat should have four small plastic trim pieces that is finish trim. Some of these trim pieces have come off (pictured). The original alloy wheels have not been curbed but could stand a good polishing. Sections of the wheels were painted blue by a previous owner and that paint job has not stood the test of time. None of these things listed greatly deter from how nice this car is overall. I simply mention them so you the potential buyer has a good idea of the car’s true condition.
www.stvincent.edu | Saint Vincent College (SVC) has been hosting the Challenge Program since 1982. The Challenge Program is a one-week summer event, held each June, for young people, ages Preschool through 12th grade, originating in the Education Department at SVC.
Here is my first challenge image. I first added some color layers to the original image. I then added to 2 textures. 1 was for the sky only and the other for the grass in the bottom third of the image. I added the vector to the grass as well to give it more interest. I used a Soft Spot lighting effect from the top left to bottom right to give it a bit of an angular feel (not sure if that worked). I added textures to both the front of the barn and the roof to liven them up a bit. Then to top it off, a grunge edge to frame it all.
A Soldier assigned to Headquarters Headquarters Company, 6th Battalion, 1st Battalion Training Group (Airborne), United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School free falls into St. Mere Drop Zone on Sept. 18, 2014, as part of the 6th Battalion Command Sergeant Major Challenge. The CSM Challenge was an endurance race. Teams had to navigate approximately 20-miles of terrain and negotiate obstacles along the route, such as a rope bridge, open swim with equipment in tow, a boat paddle, a boat carry, downed pilot scenario and a weapons range. The event provided a friendly competition while building unit cohesion and boost esprit de corps.
