Folks, we at The Shop have a new offering for your design needs: grids!
Are you making a retrowave/synthwave/1980s piece, and need the right grounding element? Are you composing a mid-century modern mood board, and need some visual structure? Are you crafting a collage, and need a nifty pattern? We have you covered.
The set includes forty-five (45) base assets, themselves available in a few different variations. There are scans of real vintage graph paper sheets (metric units). There are scans of printed grids (imperial units). There are scans of two different sets of hand-drawn grids (imperial units). There are distorted grids, created manually while scanning.
Because these are made out of assets that were scanned in, they retain a particular texture, and grain, that makes all of them unique.
In addition to all of this, there are matching transparent PNG versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and even vector versions. This set will be your new go-to for grids, regardless of the scale you need to work in. And of course, all files are clearly labeled, and organized, as usual.

The arrival of fall so comforting. As much as we ache for one more beach day, there’s something grounding about crisp mornings, amber leaves, and mugs of something warm between our hands. Autumn asks us to slow down, to breathe in the change, and to let ourselves be inspired by a different kind of beauty, one built on soft sweaters, woodsmoke, and golden light. Happy Autumn everyone :)

Dene Park Woods - a visit for Purple Hairstreak images proved unsuccessful, seen in the Oaks but didn't come down. A number of people were looking for Emperors, again a fair number of sightings above the trees, but only one grounding seen by a couple of people - (not photographers)
The album was released in the year 1971 and I just recently bought this one here once again. America's music was wonderfully grounding during this period for me and many other people. In the early 70's I lost my high school friend to the Vietnam War...lost a job, and my father was terminally ill with cancer weighing only 90 pounds at the end. My first girlfriend was the love that made the world also grounded for me. I did not live at home and one night I brought my girlfriend over to my parents home so that they all could meet. My mother answered the door but did not want us to come in due to my father's grave condition... so we left. Not long after I moved back home to help take care of my father as my young sister was only 15 and my older brother was mentally challenged. Many years later as an IATSE Stagehand I helped build America's concert here in San Diego. California... was backstage during the concert and afterward did the breakdown and loadout for them.

Oil from the grounding of the New Carissa freighter begins to wash ashore on the North Spit, Feb. 12, 1999. Photo: Brandon Brewer, U.S. Coast Guard
On Feb. 4, 1999, the New Carissa freighter ship went aground off the southern Oregon Coast, only 150 yards from beach managed by the BLM.
The ensuing environmental catastrophe went on for more than nine years, until the last of the wrecked haul was removed from the North Spit beach in the summer of 2008.
After efforts to move the 639-foot-long freighter failed, the decision was made to scrap the boat and burn the fuel to avoid a larger oil spill.
At one point, the pounding ocean caused the New Carissa to break in half. The bow section was towed a couple hundred miles out and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Dozens of municipal, state and federal agencies worked together for years to mitigate the accident. One main priority was protecting a nearby population of western snowy plovers, a threatened species of shorebird.
Hundreds of birds died because of the New Carissa grounding – 537 total – but no snowy plovers, according to NOAA.
Visitors today can visit the North Spit, just off U.S. Route 101 near Coos Bay and North Bend, and imagine the dramatic scene 20 years ago while strolling the sand dunes.

This felt so grounding! I love how we can find examples of what we need and how to embody it all around us when we're open to looking.
The SS Amur was an iron-hulled steamship with a diverse career spanning four decades. Built in Sunderland in 1890 as the freighter Famous, she operated in European waters before being acquired and renamed the Amur in 1898 for use during the Klondike Gold Rush. The Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, later C.P.R. Steamship Services, purchased her in 1899, and she became a vital link connecting Vancouver and Victoria with remote northern British Columbia ports and Alaska. Despite several groundings on the challenging coastal routes, she proved durable. After suffering significant damage in 1911, she was converted into an ore carrier and finished her working life under her original name before ultimately being scuttled in Burrard Inlet in 1932.
(1 June 1906) - NORTHERN TRAVEL. There is a great exodus north this season of homeseekers and prospectors. Last year the movement in the direction of Bulkley Valley doubled the previous year, and though it is now too early to attempt an accurate forecast, the indications are favorable that the same will occur this Summer. On the Northern British Columbia Coast considerable stir is evidenced at different points. More people are going to Port Simpson, up the Skeena River, to Kai-en Island and up the Portland Canal than was ever previously known to have gone in these directions, and the prospects are, generally speaking, very reassuring of a big volume of business. As proof of this statement it might be stated that the C. P. R. Company is making the steamer Amur ready to join the Princess Beatrice on the Skeena and Skagway route. She will sail to-morrow night, and by the time she completes one round trip it is expected the steamer Princess May will be in condition to resume her service on the route. This steamer, which has been in the hands of the B. C. Marine Railway Company during the Winter months, has lately had new boilers installed, and the cabin work, which had to be left until this undertaking was completed, is being advanced now with all possible despatch, so that in a few more weeks the steamer will, it is thought, be running.

Captain T. Smith Identification: Information from a postcard (May-June 1906), sent to "Capt. T. Smith" via the Salvation Army in Port Simpson and routed to Carcross, Yukon, helped identify him as a specific historical figure:
The Salvation Army established a notable presence in the Yukon during the height of the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush, focusing on missionary and social work among miners. Led by Eva Booth, commander in Canada, a team of volunteers and nurses traveled to Dawson City to provide support and repair the broken dreams of miners.
Key Aspects of Early Yukon History:
Klondike Gold Rush Initiative: Prompted by the 1898 gold rush, Salvation Army officers, including nurses, were dispatched to Dawson City to provide, spiritual, and social aid to miners.
Missionary Focus: The focus was on "saving the souls of miners" and offering support to those facing difficult circumstances in the northern frontier.
Growth in Canada: This effort was part of the Army's expansion across Canada following its establishment in 1882, a period marked by rapid growth and social service.
Role of Eva Booth: Supported by her father, General William Booth, who visited North America in 1898, Eva Booth led the expedition into the Yukon.
The early work in the Yukon was characterized by a direct approach to supporting individuals in need, similar to the Salvation Army's efforts in other parts of Canada during that era.

Class 14 NCB38, formerly D9513 comes to grief grounding out on the roundabout at the colliery entrance, this was resolved by baulks of wood under the trailer wheels lifting the deck over the kerb. The loco was loaded at Ashington Colliery amid the Demo men for its journey South to the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway. (Scanned from Kodak Gold 200 Print Negatives).
Built by BREL York Works in 1971, the Prototype Electro Pneumatic (PEP) vehicles, formed into two 4-car Class 445 and one 2-car Class 446 sets, were the grounding for many new EMU classes. After operating in passenger service for a few years, they entered departmental service as traction development sets. I photographed one of the Class 445s from beyond the boundary at Wimbledon Depot c1980. At this time, it was numbered 935 056 in the deparmental series (but may not have carried this number) and the livery comprised a dark grey upper body with red and blue bands swooping up at the end.

Fidalgo Bay. Cap Sante Marina.
Press Release from USCG:
Coast Guard tows grounded vessel, responds to pollution near Anacortes, Washington.
A Coast Guard Station Bellingham 45-foot Response Boat-Medium crew towed and safely moored the fishing vessel Arline at the Cap Sante Marina in Anacortes after receiving a report that vessel was aground in the Swinomish Channel Thursday evening.
A boarding was conducted by the crew of the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie, an 87-foot patrol boat homeported in Port Angeles, Wash., revealing the master and crewman aboard the Arline to be intoxicated and the local police department took the master of the fishing vessel into custody.
Coast Guard Sector Puget Sound watchstanders received a call from the master of the Arline reporting the grounding near Anacortes. The Coast Guard Cutter Adelie was on a routine patrol at the time and was diverted to assist the crew of the grounded vessel.
Upon boarding the vessel, the Adelie crew suspected the master of the vessel was intoxicated and issued a field sobriety and breathalyzer test revealing a blood alcohol content level of .115, well over the legal limit in Washington State.
“Thanks to the crews of both Station Bellingham and the Coast Guard Cutter Adelie for making our local waterways safer,” said Captain Joe Raymond, Commanding Officer of Sector Puget Sound. “Boating while intoxicated is not only a danger to the crew of the vessel being operated, but it is endangers the lives of any boaters in the area.”
After the vessel was moored a light sheen was discovered coming from the Arline. Further inspection revealed a crack in the vessel’s shaft packing causing oily water to be discharged overboard.
Containment boom has been applied around the vessel. A Coast Guard incident management team from Seattle is working with contractors to contain further pollution and develop a possible salvage plan for the vessel.
The Arline is a 50-foot fishing vessel homeported in Seattle and is reportedly carrying up to 150 gallons of diesel aboard. The Coast Guard is investigating the grounding.
This isn't the first time the F/V ARLINE has run aground and a captian was arrested:
From September 5, 2013
British Columbia: American skipper arrested Monday on suspicion of impaired operation of a vessel after his fishing boat ran aground near Kelsey Bay.
The 58-foot American F/V Arline was heading south when it ran aground and the two remaining crew members apparently tried to abandon ship. Conditions may have been foggy at the time. The two remaining crew were safely evacuated and the captain was escorted to Campbell River while Coast Guard towed his boat. Awaiting the captain at the docks in Campbell River were Mounties, Canadian Border Services, Transport Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Police arrested the captain on suspicion of impaired operation of a motor vessel and dangerous operation of a motor vessel.
The electromagnetic field is harmful or not – this question has not a specific answer. There are a lot of arguments, a variation of thoughts, and the discussion of health authorities. The electromagnetic field has many sources that are staying close to us. These fields are generated from power lines, mobile phones, mobile phone towers, broadcast towers, and more. So, you have to keep yourself safe from the radiation. Leave the health discussion of EMF on the shoulder of health authorities and you should concentrate on the best protections. Buy EMF shielding products that allow you to extensively shield electromagnetic fields.

The Hidden Land of Happiness........ Gross National Happiness
The Bhutanese grounding in Buddhist ideals suggests that beneficial development of human society takes place when material and spiritual development occur side by side to complement and reinforce each other. The term "gross national happiness", a concept of a quantitative measurement of well-being and happiness, was coined in 1972 by Bhutan's fourth Dragon King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who has opened Bhutan to the age of modernization. The four pillars of gross national happiness are the promotion of sustainable development, preservation and promotion of cultural values, conservation of the natural environment, and establishment of good governance.
In a 2007 study from University of Leicester, Bhutan ranked eighth out of 178 countries in Subjective Well-Being (Satisfaction with Life Scale, SWLS), a metric of happiness that has been used by many psychologists. In fact, it is the only country in the top 20 "happiest" countries that has a very low GDP.

Taktsang Palphug Monastery , a prominent Himalayan Buddhist sacred site and temple complex, first built in 1692, hangs on a precipitous cliff at 3,120 metres (10,240 ft), above the Paro valley, Bhutan.
To reach this place people have to trek for around 3-4 h from the Paro valley below. Previously there was almost no path to the top, only a pilgrim's trail, but in last decade a well maintained path was built to help pilgrims and travelers reach the monastery a bit more comfortable walk.

Ship grounding is a type of marine accident that involves the impact of a ship on seabed or waterway side. It may result in the damage of the submerged part of the ship’s hull and in particular the bottom structure, potentially leading to water ingress, which may compromise the ship's structural integrity, stability and finally safety. Severe grounding applies extreme loads onto ship structures. In less severe accidents, it might result only in damage to the hull; however, in most serious accidents, it might lead to hull breaches, cargo spills, total loss of the vessel, and, in the worst cases, human casualties.
From a global perspective, grounding accounts for about one-third of commercial ship accidents all over the world and it has the second rank in frequency, after ship–on–ship collision.
Grounding, depending on the maneuvers of the master before the impact, may result in the ship being stranded. Depending on the nature of the relief of the seabed at the location, i.e., being muddy or rocky, different measures have to be taken to release the ship and transport it to a safe harbor.
Investigating the causality of grounding accidents, there are many factors that are believed to contribute to the accident, such as current, darkness, tide, visibility, wave, wind,depth and geometry of the waterway; age, size and type of the vessel; speed, and human and organizational factors; However, the effects of most of the causal factors have been considered anecdotal, without evidential support.
Wirral Peninsular 2014
Robins start to sing and chirp more.
The ground is less frozen and more muddy.
The sun is rising earlier and setting later.
Green buds and leaflike structures are sprouting up.
And there is this rodent that according to the town of Punxsutawney makes the decision on the final 6 weeks of winter.
His name is Phil.
As a rodent I think Phil is undecided .
Remember Phil can’t talk.
Phil is looking for food.
Don’t tell me that the man with the top hat and suit doesn’t have some sort of snack for Phil.
Shadow or not.
Phil is a hungry rodent who is interested more in the pleasure of partaking snacks then shadows.
Just like meteorologists ....even if Phil is wrong with weather or winter everyone still gets paid.
Snacks or money.
Shadows or not.
Winter is here but won’t stay for long.
According to the Robins who are singing along.
