The stars waited. So did he.
Orbiting a cradle-world marked for quiet observation, the operative known only by encryption string Δ-17V prepared for his final directive.
A million simulations had already unfolded. And failed.
But still, he hesitated — not from fear, but from something deeper, older. Beneath layers of cybernetic telemetry and interstellar armor, his kind did not blink, but they remembered.
One message. One planet. One chance to shift the tide.
And in the orbit between silence and signal, a voice stirred:
“This is not a warning. It is an offering.”

It had been ten years since my last tattoo, and it was at the hands of this very same man. So glad I went back to him (and, hey, he's left-handed, just like the little man).

A majestic and arcane-infused steampunk command center aboard the Dirgeclaw. The cockpit chamber is vast and circular, with vaulted brass-and-iron architecture reminiscent of a cathedral. A central throne of command rests atop an elevated platform, encircled by rotating aether sigils and copper-lit runes.
Walls of dark metal are embedded with glowing navigational glyphs and crystal viewports that display violet skies churned with storm energy. Command terminals — crafted of burnished brass, lacquered mahogany, and illuminated keys — arc around the throne like an ancient control altar.
Technicians and navigators in dark formal attire work in focused silence, tending to dials, levers, and whispering telemetry incantations. Massive control wheels, arcane volt-readers, and glowing circuitry form an interface between magic and machine.
Overhead, a golden celestial compass hangs suspended — tracking leyline currents across the skies. The atmosphere is one of reverence and vigilance, a place where every command is sacred, and every breath echoes with purpose.

"In every mirror, a truth you deny is waiting to be born."
Essence
The Cathedral of Mirrors is the heart of a dimension wrapped in reflection, deception, and revelation. Located at the epicenter of the fractured domain known as the Mire of Mirrors, this sanctum is both sanctuary and snare. Within its obsidian walls reside ten colossal gothic-framed mirrors, each holding a swirling portal of distinct hue — each leading to a distorted truth, alternate fate, or mirror-self. No two journeys are the same. No reflection is ever entirely false.
Amon, the Warlock of Glassed Shadows
Legendary being bound to this domain.
Appears in dark warlock armor adorned with a pulsating violet skull gem.
His horns are said to be shaped by the regrets of kings, and his magic reflects the fears of those who enter.
Amon does not attack — he tempts. He offers passage through the mirrors in exchange for memory, identity, or a forgotten truth.
The Cathedral Interior
Stained glass domes cracked with flickering lightning.
Stone floors etched with shifting sigils that rewrite themselves when watched.
The ten Mirror Altars line the perimeter, each mirror alive with color and motion.
Whispering reflections move before their mirrored counterparts.
The Mirrors
Each portal glows with a unique color and emotion: envy-green, sorrow-blue, fury-red, etc.
They do not merely lead to places, but versions — fractured realities where a truth, a lie, or a regret shaped a new path.
Some mirrors speak. Some scream.
Crossing through unprepared risks shattering one's sense of self.
Mechanics & Themes
Reflection as revelation and risk.
Mirrors challenge identity and perception.
Amon tests not power, but truth.

High Empress of the Hollow Circuit
Warden of Forbidden Code • Herald of the Synthvoid
Vael’thyrra is an ancient and transcendent entity—once mortal, now fused with the architecture of a forgotten digital pantheon. Crowned with obsidian horns and cloaked in sentient armor forged from living circuits, she is the embodiment of dark synthesis: the perfect union of alien magic and cybernetic dominion.
Her gaze burns with algorithmic prophecy, her every motion encoded with ritual significance. The glowing core embedded in her chest—known as the Heart of the Last Equation—feeds on entropic data, pulsing in rhythm with lost timelines and collapsed civilizations. The sigils that dance along her body are not just ornamental—they are encrypted laws of forbidden power, reshaping reality with every invocation.
Vael’thyrra rules over the Sanctum of Nulllight, a plane suspended between dimension and drive, where consciousness is traded like currency and the boundaries between soul and system have long since eroded. Worshipped by technocults and feared by post-organic empires, she is both oracle and executioner, her voice the last sound a corrupted world hears before deletion.

Deep within the Wraithgale’s armored spine pulses the Obscuran Coil — a storm chamber of silent energy and forbidden engineering. Suspended by arcano-mechanical rings and shielded by layered runes, the reactor conjures a spiraling vortex of violet-blue lightning, arcing violently through the gloom. This living storm never ceases, bound in a ritual of containment and will.
The chamber is cathedral-like, ringed with elevated gantries, forgotten glyphs etched into the walls, and robed engineers monitoring the spectral surge in reverent silence. Hanging crystal capacitors hum like quiet bells, absorbing and regulating the power that bleeds from the storm. Candles flicker, untouched by the electric gale, as if honoring a god too old to name.
This is not a furnace of fire, but of memory, static, and stillness — the Wraithgale’s soul made manifest.
Thanks to RunDSM and Movement 515’s Color Control graffiti workshops presented by Scarce Elementz, the third section of the 750 foot graffiti wall behind Central Campus was finalized this summer. Local graffiti artist As Phate says, " Thanks to every one of our students over the course of the last couple of years that has contributed and made the vision a reality." Co-founder of Movement 515 Emily Lang says, "The mural is a testament to what happens when local artists are given space within the system to nurture youth artists and to the city for acknowledging the need for public spaces for youth to get free. All love and praise to As Phate, LETER, and the youth."

Fanart inspired by Fire Sea (The Death Gate Cycle, Book 3)
In a necropolis scorched by ash and shadow, a grief-stricken mage kneels beside the lifeless body of his beloved, encircled by glowing rune-sigils carved into the blackened stone. From the air, a rune crystal burns with cursed light, channeling raw arcane energy down into her chest.
Her funeral gown — once ceremonial and pure — lies tattered and dust-stained, clinging to her still form. But death is not still for long. Her golden hair sparks to life, crackling with infernal energy, and her pale skin shimmers with darkened veins of necrotic magic. The air thickens with dread as figures stir in the mist beyond — watchers, perhaps... or the dead themselves, drawn to the power awakening.
This is no miracle. It is a breach — a violation of death’s silence.
Tug of war tournament finalizedBy: Gul Hamaad FarooqiCHITRAL: Tug of War tournament finalized at Singor Chitral. Some 16 teams of Tug of war participated in the tournament the final match was played between Singor A and Singor B team.

He said that Chitral have potential of 15000 megawatt electricity because of plentiful water resources but unfortunately people suffering from
18 to 72 hours continue load shedding. He said that he will solve this problem on priority basis by up-gradation of local hydro power house as well as approval from federal government for establishment of more hydro power house a at Chitral. He said that there is lack of quality education and in case if he elected he will try of his best for boosting and improving educational institutions at Chitral. He said that most of our roads are in a very dilapidated condition and he will improve its condition by blacktopping and repairing link and access roads. He announced 6000 for winner team, 4000 for runner up team and 5000 for organizing committee. At last he distributed cups and trophy among the successful players.

Kathakali artist finalizing his make-up.
Kathakali is a highly stylized classical Indian dance-drama noted for its attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's present day state of Kerala during the 17th century AD and has been updated over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming.
Kathakali is considered to be a combination of five elements of fine art:
* Expressions (Natyam, the component with emphasis on facial expressions)
* Dance (Nritham, the component of dance with emphasis on rhythm and movement of hands, legs and body)
* Enactment (Nrithyam, the element of drama with emphasis on "mudras", which are hand gestures)
* Song/vocal accompaniment (Geetha)
* Instrument accompaniment (Vadyam)
Even though the lyrics/literature would qualify as another independent element called Sahithyam, it is considered as a component of Geetha or music, as it plays only a supplementary role to Nritham, Nrithyam and Natyam.

Designation: Venom Revenant — Phase II
Codename: The Berserker Mutation
Where Phase I was restraint, Phase II is ruin.
After prolonged venom exposure and neural degradation, the subject evolved — or degenerated — into what would later be known only as The Berserker Mutation. Its armor is cracked and warped, barely holding together over the grotesquely enhanced musculature beneath. Thick black veins throb with unstable venom, leaking through jagged seams like radioactive rot.
Gone is the silent precision of its earlier form. The Berserker is pure instinct — a force of aggression so overwhelming that even its creators couldn't control it. Its mouth, once sealed behind a tactical mask, has twisted into a jagged maw, and its eyes burn with feral, undead fire.
Survivors speak of a deep, inhuman growl that shakes the air before it strikes. Most don't live long enough to hear it twice.
This is not evolution.
This is venom’s revenge.
Congresswoman Nita M. Lowey (Westchester/Rockland), the Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee, on Monday, October 5, 2015, sent a letter to Stephen Ostroff, Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and Sylvia Matthews Burwell, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), urging finalization of regulations on new tobacco products, such as e-cigarettes, flavored hookahs, and flavored cigars. Lowey made the announcement during a local kick-off event in White Plains, NY, for Red Ribbon Month 2015, a national celebration during the month of October to promote a drug free life for youth and adults.

“Here, the future breathes, but never lands.”
Essence
The Eidolight Reach is a radiant mountaintop realm high above the Hollow Veil’s mists. Suspended between starlight and memory, it flickers with impossible futures and paths never taken. Dreams here do not die — they crystallize into light, floating in the thin air like fireflies of forgotten ambition. To ascend is to see what might have been. To remain is to forget what truly was.
Landscape
Jagged crystalline peaks jutting into starlit twilight, unreachable by ordinary means.
Floating bridges of silver light connect impossible altars, spires, and cliffside sanctuaries.
The ground pulses with ephemeral glyphs, blooming and fading like breath.
Aurora-like currents drift overhead, each thread woven from abandoned hopes.
Phenomena
Flickerflame Dragon: A radiant, semi-transparent serpent of starlit flame and unspoken futures. It coils through the air like a comet bound by memory, shedding motes of light that burn with past ambitions. It does not roar — it remembers aloud.
Flickerflames: Wisps of glowing potential — failed dreams, lost callings, and unborn futures.
The Unmade Bell: A silent structure that tolls only in dreams, summoning those close to forgetting.
Echo Ascents: Pathways that shift based on inner conflict or unresolved ambition.
Dangers
Staying too long may unravel one’s present self, lost to what might have been.
Some climb seeking truth but become Echoshadows — phantoms of unrealized destinies.
Lightburn: A spiritual erosion caused by too much exposure to the Eidolight.
Themes & Symbolism
The seduction of potential.
Letting go of unreachable ideals.
Memory vs. possibility.

The bridge of the Wraithgale — a hexagonal, dimly lit chamber blending stealth-tech and arcane design. Smooth matte-black plating covers every surface, interrupted only by softly glowing violet conduits and sigil-bound interfaces. The captain’s throne, austere and high-backed, rests on a hex-stepped platform in the center beneath a reinforced starlight dome.
Consoles arc around the chamber in sculpted crescents, filled with brass-framed screens, pale glyphic readouts, and whisper-quiet instruments. Portholes to the outside display only swirling fog and ethereal flashes of static energy.
The ambient light is cold — indigo, lavender, and deep ultraviolet — casting long shadows and emphasizing silence. Vapor leaks gently from floor vents, adding to the spectral atmosphere.
No banners, no ornaments — just utilitarian design and a sense of absolute focus. A command room built for evasion, precision, and silent force.

In the aftermath of the Celestial Schism, when ancient empires shattered and stars bled across the firmament, the Starfall Accord was forged—a forbidden pact between dying worlds to prevent universal collapse. From this covenant rose a single enforcer: the Executor.
Neither fully mortal nor entirely divine, the Executor drifts between realms, cloaked in cosmic dusk and charged with extinguishing those who violate the Accord. His presence signals judgment, his glowing core a remnant of the collapsed stars whose energy sustains him. Planets fall silent in his wake, and time itself recoils in his shadow.
He does not speak. He does not falter. He simply fulfills the pact.
935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Design finalized in 1964
Designed by Charles F. Murphy and Associates
Architectural Style: Brutalist
Construction begun in 1967
Opened in 1974
Dedicated by President Ford, 1975
see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover_Building
from the FBI Library Website:
"For reasons of economy, the approving agencies insisted upon poured concrete as the major outside building material. The concrete used for the FBI building contained an aggregate of crushed dolomite limestone, a unique composition. While contrasting with the traditional marble, granite, or limestone Government buildings, it echoed a major architectural style of the 1960s. The concrete was poured into reusable steel forms separated by metal ties. The ties remained in the concrete when the molds were removed. This technique produced an architectural feature of evenly spaced holes throughout the exterior."
"The final FBI building design incorporated many features of the 1964 Pennsylvania Avenue proposal, with modifications primarily governed by security considerations. The building has an open mezzanine and courtyard, but access to the courtyard is limited, and most of the first floor is closed to facilitate security. Recessed panels along the ground floor were spaced to give the illusion of two-story columns, thus producing an arcade-like facade. Also for security reasons, no stores were included on the first floor. The main part of the building, facing E Street, retained the idea of a central core of files."

Codename: The Apex Mutation
The experiment is no longer mutating. It is evolving.
Phase III represents the final breakdown of humanity within the Revenant. Muscle has overtaken structure. Control systems are silent. The Venom core now leaks freely through cracked flesh, glowing in streams and veins like radioactive blood. His eyes are pure rage. His mouth, now fully exposed, stretches into a weaponized maw — part scream, part smile.
The Apex Mutation is not a soldier.
It is the consequence of creation without limits.
A godless weapon with no mission, no leash, and no master.
Just hunger.

It rose from the abyss in a scream of fire and thunder.
Forged from iron, brass, and rage long forgotten, the Clockwork Titan claws its way from a crater torn into the crust of a dying world. Its molten core pulses like a volcanic heart, illuminating the storm-wracked sky as lightning fractures the clouds above.
Soldiers scatter like insects beneath its rising frame, their brass-plated rifles no match for the monster born of industry and war. Gigantic steam vents erupt from its spine, belching heat and oil. Cables thrash like iron serpents as its talons flex and arcane eyes ignite.
“It was built to defend the world.
Forgotten for a thousand years.
Now it rises not to protect — but to wage War.

It's normal now!
But I guess this finalizes one issue: Our boiler, which hasn't been turned on in almost 10 yrs, is officially impossible to safely operate without a chimney.
(The same chimney that almost killed us once by getting clogged up. House filled with carbon monoxide/diesel fumes [heating oil is just diesel fuel]. Carbon monoxide alarms woke me up. I was sleeping downstairs, Carolyn upstairs. So I would have died, but maybe not her. Only reason I heard the carbon monoxide alarm is that the house became so fumey that our CD player lasers were both permanently damaged. The music stopped playing, allowing me to hear the CO2 alarm. I was soon forced to switch to using MP3s. Had I switched to MP3 earlier, I might not be writing this caption.)
That window there? So totally painted shut right now. Oops :/
P.S. You can see where they patched the siding. I don't know where they found extra siding of my color, or how they did that. I guess maybe it overlaps so they trimmed some overlap from somewhere.

BACKSTORY: We bought some more Thompson Creek windows, and we decided to also replace the gutter that had rusted out & fallen off the back of the house a few years ago. Thompson Creek told us it would be better to remove the unused boiler chimney and have the roof patched so there could be one continous gutter. But they would not do this themselves, despite accepting the job. Thus, Clint had to embark on the experience of finding someone to do the job. Full blog post with every possible detail at: clintjcl.wordpress.com/2012/04/11/journal-house-sam-and-s... ... The most interesting detail was that we got the job done for $575, but a company called Sam And Sons, LLC, out of Alexandria, VA, gave us an estimate for $5600 for the same work. Beware of those evil douchebags.

Well here is the finalized version of the update for the AMR 35.
With a new track setup and body, the only thing that is being carried over is the turret from last years design. Track setup will have a few small add ones, which I can't show with LDD. I personally really like the update as it feels like where I fell short last year, I fixed it this time around.
I already ordered the parts for this and the R35 as a first update to my french army.
As that will get an overhaul overtime and I'm starting by scrapping most of the tanks. Including all the old AMR's and the S35. I will keep the B1 for now untill I have the time and money to update it.

Twisted forest where sorrow hardens into venom. Crimson mist, whispering trees, betrayal echoes.
A corrupted stretch of forest deep within the Nightmare Veil, Thornbleed Vale is a realm where grief and betrayal take root — and grow thorns. The ground seeps red. Trees weep sap like blood. The mist here is heavy, rust-colored, and laced with hallucination. Those who walk the Vale often hear voices of the ones they wronged — or who wronged them.
🌿 Nature of the Vale
Crimson Fog: Induces emotional distortions and visions of past pain.
Whisperwood: Trees whisper regrets not your own, luring you off-path.
Venomroot Growths: Blossoms fed by bitterness, can poison memory.
️ Inhabitants
Thorned Shades: Ghostly remnants of betrayals so intense they took form.
Griefbinders: Fungal entities that root into sorrowful minds.
Blightstag: A once-noble guardian twisted into predator, antlers dripping with venom.
⚠️ Dangers & Themes
Trust erodes the longer you stay.
Shared history can become a weapon.
Poison is more emotional than physical — memories are barbed.

Simons: Has he been infected?
Page: Ah yes, most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.
Simons: This plague — the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it.
Page: Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches. Let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
Simons: I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.
Page: Of course they're desperate. They can smell their deaths, and the sound they'll make rattling their cages will serve as a warning to the rest.
Simons: Hmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think. Intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in Paris.

Page: Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience, and their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider.
Simons: The augmentation project?
Page: Among other things, but I must admit that I've been somewhat disappointed with the performance of the primary unit.
Simons: The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparations and should be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on its progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated.

The mission was not conquest. It was memory.
In the pale shimmer of the dying star, the Surveyor of Dustlight Reach stands watch. Beneath the glint of a weathered dome helmet, its eyes scan the dry planet’s breath — measuring tectonic pulses, reading magnetic winds, listening to what the sand refuses to say aloud.
No words. No weapons. Just the silence of ancient gear, old-world tech coiled like serpents around its armor, and the presence of something older than war: patience.
This is not the beginning of first contact.
This is the moment before the galaxy exhales.

With the merger finalized between OfficeMax and Office Depot I figured it was time to take some pictures of their area stores before they start closing stores in the consolidation.
First up is the OfficeMax in Tigard that sits in a shopping center with a Winco Food Store but has a Wal-Mart being built across the street which is next door to a Costco. This one is located within five or so minutes of one Office Depot and within ten or so minutes of a second.
However, this store seems to be better located than the two Depot's and is always busier than the other two stores despite the lack of good customer service especially on the sales floor. Of the three this one seems to be the most likely to survive (which means nothing since there is more factors that goes into store locations that stay open).

A Dinkie Fantasy (fanart)
The Purring Terror
“You hear a purr. You smile. Then your HUD glitches, your inventory dumps, and your soul rethinks its life choices.”
Don’t let the soft fur and big golden eyes fool you—X’chi Mew’ra is a legend wrapped in fur and armor. Said to have been bio-engineered from sacred Dinkie DNA and alien predator genetics, this tiny terror stalks through enchanted glades, neon wastelands, and forgotten servers alike. With a purr that disarms and claws that disable, X’chi doesn’t just hunt — they perform.
Often mistaken for a pet. Rarely mistaken twice.

“Where memory is molded and flesh is firmware.”
Beneath the scorched husk of the forgotten Cathedra lies this cryptic vault — a sanctum for all prototypes unchosen and futures uncompiled. Dozens of stasis-thrones flank the obsidian aisle, each cradling a failed godform or corrupted martyr of machine-sainthood.
At the far end, the Uncompiled Saint towers in shimmering, unstable glory — a quantum entity trapped mid-conversion, echoing fragments of hundreds of possible selves. The vault resonates with the hum of unresolved code and forgotten hymns, watched eternally by the masked Revision Keepers who cannot speak, only witness.

935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Design finalized in 1964
Designed by Charles F. Murphy and Associates
Architectural Style: Brutalist
Construction begun in 1967
Opened in 1974
Dedicated by President Ford, 1975
see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover_Building
from the FBI Library Website:
"For reasons of economy, the approving agencies insisted upon poured concrete as the major outside building material. The concrete used for the FBI building contained an aggregate of crushed dolomite limestone, a unique composition. While contrasting with the traditional marble, granite, or limestone Government buildings, it echoed a major architectural style of the 1960s. The concrete was poured into reusable steel forms separated by metal ties. The ties remained in the concrete when the molds were removed. This technique produced an architectural feature of evenly spaced holes throughout the exterior."
"The final FBI building design incorporated many features of the 1964 Pennsylvania Avenue proposal, with modifications primarily governed by security considerations. The building has an open mezzanine and courtyard, but access to the courtyard is limited, and most of the first floor is closed to facilitate security. Recessed panels along the ground floor were spaced to give the illusion of two-story columns, thus producing an arcade-like facade. Also for security reasons, no stores were included on the first floor. The main part of the building, facing E Street, retained the idea of a central core of files."
