my first attempt at the pomegranate block. I tried to inset the circles and it was a disaster. too many seams I think.
having lots of trouble with youtube uploads.
1. login fails. 403 error.
2. login and upload are successful but conversion fails.
3. installed ffmpeg to preconvert .mov to .flv but ffmpeg gave error saying it didn't recognize the .mov file.
.mov files are being created by photobooth application on mac os x. 10.5.4
but i can get the same movie files to upload when doing it manually from web interface. argh.
i failed at this. :,(

I do not recommend these belts! The internal threads are steel. Which is great for minimizing stretch in the belt, but considering the tight bend radii experienced on the mendel on the X axis specifically, and also no Z, i suspect the internal metal braids become fatigued rather quickly and fail, fail, FAIL! gah...
I think i bought these from SDP-SI. Not a good choice for this particular application.
This is a nice looking pannier, but not at all designed to actually stay on a rack. Mine falls off 2-3 times per day. Luckily no major accidents have been caused, and my laptop (which I now realize should not go in one of these) still works, but this thing was already falling apart, as well as falling off, after 1 month of use.
Might work as a short ride/market bag, but don't ride over any bumps or 10 mph. It IS, however, pretty effectively waterproof.
my freshman year in college I went on a road trip with 5 friends all over the Eastern US. one of our stops was in Panama City, FL. At the beach we attempted to do some poses with handstands. the failed attempts were hilarious! we have so many great memories together from this trip!
So...
I bought a new camera. A Canon EOS 450D. It's practically the same as my 400D except it has live view. I bought it so I could at last animate with live view when I shoot at uni. I also had to pay £45 for some leads to go with it so I could run it off a plugged in battery as it will be on constantly from 9-7 every day.
I was £500 down and now without a Milly, but at least I would be able to animate easier and more effeciently.
On monday I went to uni, set everything up, got the set all glued in place etc, then plugged in the camera... the software was out of date and couldn't see my camera. I went to the IT department and asked them to please update it. One of them tried to, but had to wait for authorisation. As I forgot my old camera, it meant we could shoot nothing on monday.
The next day, that IT guy was sick and we had to explain our situation to someone else. This guy refused to upgrade it. He said he had something which could POSSIBLY be it, but he didn't want to try it in case it messed everything up. He said he would try during easter. We only get the studio until thursday next week, easter is the week after.
So whilst being £500 poorer for no real reason, I used my old camera and animated half-blind again.
The day after, we came into the studio to find the computer had killed our entire animation so far. The programme had died as we had so many hidden frames in it (because we had no live view). Now the first 30 seconds of animation, which is only about 600 frames long, is in amoungst 1771 frames and I have to dig out every single correct frame and somehow put it together. I've tried to do it and it's impossible. I've also realised that some parts need to be photoshopped and I have no way of knowing what files are correct and which are not once I've edited everything together and we have no time to reshoot the start of the animation.
We now have just monday to thursday to shoot the majority of our animation and reshoot the previous lost parts. We have to have the extra lighting equipment back by 4:30pm on thursday and we have classes we can't miss on monday and tuesday.
I think we (and by we, I mean Sachiko and I) are actually properly screwed over this time. If they refuse to give us an extension, we will fail. I have wasted so much money on the animation this time, not only the £500 but also all the money for animation supplies to make the puppet etc and all of the money spent on the last animation which we ended up scrapping.
None of this has been our fault at all, it's all just horrible bad luck. We come into the studio as soon as uni opens and leave when it closes at 7pm, we get 30 seconds shot a day and we don't leave the studio all day, but it looks like we've done basically nothing.
:(
Oh and you know what else sucks? The trains around here have been broken for about 4/5 weeks and they're not going to be fixed until the end of May. I've seen Matt once, for 23 hours, since they broke and I probably won't see him again for another two weeks.
Also, my jaw has become considerably worse, I can now no longer open it enough to clean my teeth properly, fit a forkful of food in my mouth or bite into a sandwich. It also choses to come out of place sideways and at random. This causes me to look like I have tourettes as I jump and yell 'ARGH, FUCK!' without fail, every time it happens.
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

I suppose everybody's going to want to know how the 80 mile ride through the desert went...
I only did 66 miles of it... although not because I couldn't. I bent a chain link at that point and by the time the SAG wagon got to me, he was busy taking down all of the signage so I just figured it would be easier to head in from there.
I could have. My muscles weren't especially sore. I wasn't totally tired. But I couldn't replace the chain on the road.. I didn't have the parts and I definately didn't know what I was doing if I had them, nor was I keen on riding a bike that was skipping incessantly for the last 14 miles if I didn't have to.
The course was 2 loops of 40 miles. A lot of folks only signed up for the 40 mile or the 22 mile course.
I was able to keep up an awfully good pace for a lot of it. We started going downhill at 25 mph, and then eventually I found myself in a pelton (is a pro cycling word... basically if I sit with my front wheel behind somebody's rear wheel... or even overlap and get even closer, they can push the air aside for me, so I'm putting half as much effort as I would on my own. It's great for race strategy and going long distances with others) of club riders. I slid myself into the pelton and even took a pull or two just so that I wouldn't be a wheelsucker. They told me I had a nice bike. I think it was because they don't normally see a crazy guy on a mountain bike keeping up with the roadies.
Sadly, I may have a lot of power, but my power / weight ratio isn't very good, so when we did the dip (pictures to come) I lost the fast pelton and went with the slower riders.
Anyway, around mile 66 or so, I had a flat rear tire, which I fixed. But I didn't get the chain on the sprockets right somehow because it skipped off and got tangled up in the front deraleur, which bent it out of shape and made my bike unrideable. Meh.
I got a little bit of sunburn. I kept with my eating-and-drinking routine that I had to develop to get past a 20 mile ride, which mean that I was mostly eating the homemade cookies and sports gels that I'd brought instead of the stuff they had (with the notable exception of the water and Product W)
This is the bent link, highlighted. Won't make this mistake again. I'm doing the repair work myself so I won't get stuck with a crappy chain.
Colas Rail Freight 70802 failed at Newbury whilst working 6V14, the 22:33 from Cliffe Hill Stud Farm to Westbury bulk ballast train.
Assistance was provided by 70808, and is seen here arriving at Westbury with the failed train 332 minutes late.

First attempt at suspension = FAIL. In this attempt, the el-wire is joined to baling wire. While the wire was stiff enough, it didn't scale well, and the wire tried to resume its original curled up shape.
The resulting oblong shapes are interesting, I'll admit, but too hard to replicate consistently, and in the end, just not what I'm going for. I'd like to investigate these shapes in the future, though.
Take a close look at the Fianna Fail election posters in Cork (this one is John Dennehy's) and you will see that they are printed in Dublin. Now, I have no doubt that Fine Gael, Labour, the Greens, etc. print their election posters in Dublin too. However, they have the good sense no to advertise the fact on their posters!
The Bridge was unsucessful project of Myanmar Military Regime. Built to replace world famous Goat Hteik Bridge but failed.

Entradition for sins comprised
Penitence, man kneeling before his cross
Ask yourself where...
Where does his judgment lie?
Open your fucking eyes!"

Final fail of Alpine Design bag 900-FJ-FH bought at Sports Authority. Pity, the bag still looks good. Too bad we could not find a place to register the observation. Maybe the brand owner finds it here.
