Something I came across while building yesterday. The round tip of the lever sits quite comfortably and securely in the 'hole' of the stud underside. Alternately, if you don't push the yellow plate in too tightly, the lever can slide along its length.
Your back's against the wall,
there's no one home to call,
you're forgetting who you are...
You can't stop crying!
It's part not giving in,
part trusting your friends,
you do it all again and I'm not lying
Oh oh oh
Standing in the way of control...
Yeah, live your lives
by the only way that you know, know
(Gossip, Standing in the way of control)

I am dipping my toes into the world of the surreal. This is my first attempt.
Crossing over Wyman creek and under the county road CN 2032 heads to Minntac to get loaded with fresh taconite.
There's something about the sight of a camera that brings out the 'control freak' in some people. I have no idea why. Perhaps an aspiring psychologist could make their thesis topic. Anyway ...
I stopped to photograph a minor accident in which this blue car smashed into a parked truck. I took a few photos of the blue car. Almost right away this passenger demanded to know who I was (I didn't tell her), what I was doing (taking photos), and why (it's a hobby), and what I was going to do with it (keep it on my computer). She then went on to say I had better delete the photo (nope), that I was "interfering with someone's crisis" (wrong), that I had to move along (no, you can't tell me what to do), & that I wasn't allowed to take photos of other people's things (wrong again).
I'd planned on leaving because the accident was unremarkable, but because of this woman's obnoxious challenge I stuck around & again pointed my camera at the car. She decided to try blocking my shot by standing between me and the car. How odd that she didn't want me to photograph the car but didn't mind my snapping a photo of her backside.
This incident pales in comparison to others in the Harassed Photographer group. Nevertheless, it made me decide that this image, which normally would have languished unseen on my hard drive forever, should instead be made available to the entire world.
One from last night’s shenanigans in London…can’t tell you the location as it is very sensitive! After some limbo style entry points and wading across a sea of glutinous mud, running about like a bunch of girls at a JLS concert to find the way in …we did!
Many…many..many stairs later and a late night phone call to Matt (you are our saviour) we found the still beating heart of this iconic landmark on the London horizon. So out came the wangles and fish eyes and many many cross words about photo bombing !
Such a small room to control such a huge place and for 7 urbex folk to squeeze in!
Then…the roof…the London rain and the early morning chill. Ended off by many many many more stairs to find the way back out….we should hang our heads in shame…like a bunch of newbs !
Back across the sea of mud, very wet by now and very tired. What do we find…the nice chaps employed to keep us out in the first place and have sealed us in!
Thank the urbex gods that one of us smoked and a lighter got us out !
Huge thanks to the usual team..you all know who you are ! But in case you have forgotten….Wes, Luke,Oli,Robbie,Bish and some polish guy!

Here’s beverage control where you need it most. Now you can keep the coffee hot and the Kool-Aid cool and the cool Kool-Aid condensation off the top of your antique walnut coffee table.
First condensation management is a cool breeze on a hot summer day with the Tradewinds Home Collection four-piece solid glass Photo Frame Coasters. This decorative set includes four glass coasters on soft rubber feet to safely protect your furniture from damage and a stylish black wooded table-top coaster holder. And that’s not all—each coaster holds one 2” x 3” photo. Think of the possibilities for displaying your favorite photos
Next keep your china, glass or ceramic* coffee mug or tea cup hot on those chilly winter days with an electric Beverage Warmer with handy on and off switch. Preheating is not necessary!
And best of all, a Park Avenue Golf Bag Drink Caddy. No tipping is necessary with this insulated caddy that accommodates most can and bottle sizes. You can clip it to your real golf bag to keep drinks cool when you’re on the course.
And as a special bonus—at no extra cost—this magnificent collection comes with a small squirrel** sculpture of unknown composition and origin. What a conversation piece this will be when you’re sitting around with your friends enjoying a drink!
*Not intended for use with plastic or Styrofoam cups. Do not immerse in swimming pool.
** Caution: squirrel should not be mixed with any caffeinated or alcoholic beverage.
Motion control head I designed around a pair of surplus precision worm gearboxes. The vacuum infused carbon fibre covers are largely superficial/protective, they were my first experiment in directly CNC machining a mould. I machined the aluminium parts on my CNC router and anodized them at home.
Because the head was constructed around existing gearboxes its a little larger and heavier than I would like, weighing around 5KG but supporting loads upwards of 10kg.
