Tutorial on Instructables: www.instructables.com/id/Functional-LEGO-Nutcrackers/
With a simple pull of the lever, these decorative figures can open and close their jaws like authentic nutcrackers!
Both of these models were built in the recent weeks leading up to Christmas. The design was pretty straightforward, but two major issues were making the faces look good, and finally getting the hats right. In fact, the green nutcracker's crown took the longest to figure out, and was finally made with hinge plates.
As mentioned in the tutorial, although these can in fact function as real nutcrackers, they're somewhat rickety and best suited for holiday decorations.

Oprime el sol a la ciudad con su luz recta y terrible; la arena resplandece y el mar espejea. Tímidamente se rinde el mundo asombrado y duerme la siesta, siesta que es una especie de muerte saboreada en que el dormido, despierto a medias, disfruta los placeres de su abatimiento. / Baudelaire
For years, I've always had the cheapest of tripods. Probably, because when it comes to equipment that is not really for life-support, I settle for the most practical and functional -- and cheapest too. Its amusing, that in this city, a cup of coffee for my breakfast is more expensive than this tripod. But think again, if you're laughing now. My tripods can tell you that no matter how cheap they are they have been to places many of you haven't. They have been all over the world with me, literally. I can only try to enumerate and can't guarantee I wouldn't miss a thing this tripod has been to. If you're interested where the tripod has been to, read on. If not, stop here, it might be too long for you.
The Philippines -- Ilocos Norte: Laoag, Pagudpud, the windmills of Bangui, Bacarra, and to Ilocos Sur: to Bantay church, to the sand dunes and Vigan. To Tarlac, Pampanga and Zambales, through lahar and through the crater Lake of Mt. Pinatubo, partially dipped in its partially sulfuric water. Through rains and volcanic rocks. The the old cemeteries of Clark field. To Cavite: tagaytay, and its famous Taal Lake -- and on the volcano island. Batangas - Nasgubo and Taal, places and mountains of Laguna. Manila of course. Most of the places at the Metro. Albay - on the slopes of the smoldering Mt. Mayon, and tributaries and rivers around it. the caves of Camalig, it was there too. And to Palawan: Puerto Princesa, Honda Bay, Underground River -- the limestone cliffs and pristine white beaches. Aklan - of course, there's the boring overly visited Boracay and around that small island, and Kalibo. Negros -- Bacolod and Dumaguete, the capitals of the two provinces of the island. Cebu -- ah, there's too many places to mention, from the exotic Hilton Hotel, to Marco polo -- the one on the hill, to crown regency the tallest, to the beaches east of Mactan Island, to the southern municipalities, and in the middle of Dalaguete's mountain range. To Camiguin, amid all its volcanoes and its frustrating black beaches, except for the one off shore -- the white beach, the underground cemetery and the hot springs. Cagayan de Oro and its river, and some caves on its riverbank. To Siquijor, into the smallest of caves passable, and the mystic mountain of Bandilaan, and the white beach of San Juan and elsewhere in the Island, the municipalicity of Lazi, whose convent is more intriguing than it looks. Ozamiz city and its nearby municipities -- part of the places where I grew up. To samar and leyte, and walking across the San Juanico Bridge. Tacloban -- into the grand Imelda Mansion. And you think all these places are boring because its in the Philippines...
...the tripod can tell you more. To the United States, from the four seasons of New England, Boston, Washington DC and the streets of New York. The historical places of Massachusetts, Concord and Lexington. Cambridge, and walking down Harvard hall. To Connecticut visiting Yale. Walking on the streets of New york, daylight and nighttime, watching the leaves fall at Central Park, watching it covered by snow, and watching the cherry blossoms too. The escapades of Baltimore(Maryland), and Philadelphia(Pennsylvania). Hmmm... I can't enumerate them all. Washington DC and Virginia. Walking around the city of Cleveland, in Ohio, in st. Louis, Missouri, it took my self-portraits on long stretches of deserted areas of Route 66, on my way to Chicago. Visiting Lincoln's tomb at Springfield, Illinois. On a cruise yacht at Lake Michigan, with the Chicago skyline in full view. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the beer capital of the United States. Spending time at San Francisco, and all its historical places. To Los Angeles, from Venice Beach, the the financial district, to that small famous town called Hollywood.
To the streets of Singapore, its modern architecture, to its zoo and the bird park of Jurong, to its cable cars at Mt. Faber, and the well created artificial (well, most of it) island of Sentosa, the Esplanade and the Fullerton, to Little India and the windows of China town and Joo Chiat. To Malaysia, the cities of Penang, Ipoh, Malacca, Seramban and Kuala Lumpur. To places in Gombak(Malaysia), the Batu Caves. The Federal site of Putra Jaya. On the skybridge of Petronas twin towers, and the shopping complex of Bukit Bintang. To Taiwan -- Taipei and neighboring cities, chiang Kai Shek memorial Hall, Taipei 101 and the national art museum. To Thailand and all its cultural art.
...and to Europe, from Frankfurt(Germany), to Austria. Soaked in Rain and seawater in Venice, Italy. Was there in Florence too. Helped me with bracketing shots at the cathedral square of Pisa and around Tuscany. Rome, among the ancient world, at the Colosseum and the old Roman forum, and taking shots of the old structures built by Roman emperors you can now only see in history books. Inside the walls of the Vatican, the seat of the Roman Catholic Church. And in Paris of course, where this photo is taken. To Normandy -- the D-Day landing sites and parts of Omaha beach. To Amsterdam, Belgium, Zurich and Munich...
...and there will be more.

Today's story and sketch "by me", you see two of the best dressed Man Cave Posse Deputies. Cosmo you see wearing a pair of hemp hippie harem pantaloons, which are not only super comfy, but are acid resistant, bullet grenade and laser blaster resistant, machine washable and drip dry. Deputy Malestir is wearing the perfect for any occasion or dangerous mission. A must if you are traveling into an extremely dangerous dimension or to a hostile Planet, the Man Cave Tulle Fog Trench Coat Deputy Malestir is modeling is the deluxe Khaki Combat Trench Coat, that comes standard with twelve of the most dangerous offense, and two of the best defensive weapons in the Galaxy. These and many more stylish but functional apparel items for the aspiring him or her, or the notsosure Interstellar Ninjas, are available in the "MCPPOTG" Man Cave Posse Protectors Of The Galaxy Gift Shop. The actual reason the deputies are in front of the Oceanside Harbor Village is to question the talking tiki, to find out who he or she or notsosure, did to be turned into a Talking Tiki by the Witch Zooelda. Cosmos first question will surely be if the Tiki made the fatal mistake of failing to leave a good or substantial tip before driving or walking away from Zooelda's Moon Pie takeaway window. Until next time and more information about, as Cosmo learned moments ago, Mr Ben Clyster sold a used car to Zooelda. Taa ta the Rod Blog.

Meyer-Optik 1Q Domiplan V 1:3.5/30 from Penti II (half format camera from the GDR). Focus and aperture are functional, but not so easy with my sausage fingers. Cropped to slightly above APS-C as the lens has big black corners on full frame.

Functional testing of NASA’s Mars Helicopter and its cruise stage occurred in the airlock inside Kennedy Space Center’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility on March 10, 2020. The helicopter was tested on a stand while the cruise stage was tested on the rotation fixture. The helicopter will be attached to the Mars Perseverance rover during its mission, which is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program. Perseverance will land on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021. Liftoff aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket is targeted for mid-July from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy is managing the launch.

Study of the day:
L’intuition immédiate qu’on a, est que notre processus de développement a pour but d’arriver à la construction du moi, en tant que sujet pensant, que tout n’a pour but que de construire l’individu qu’on est. Chacun croît ça pour lui-même, alors que nous ne sommes que des populations de cellules qui se développent, qui s’organisent parce qu’elles sont contraintes de s’organiser, parce que sinon elles dégénéreraient. ... Nous avons du mal à accepter que nous sommes au service de nos cellules et non l’inverse.
The immediate intuition we have is that our development process aims to achieve the construction of the self, as thinking subject, that everything is only there to build the individual we are. Everyone believes that for himself, while we are only cell populations that develop, which are organizing because they are forced to be organized, because otherwise they degenerate. ... It's hard to accept that we are serving our cells and not vice versa.
