Lucy was doing some finger weaving today and was called on to ice some cupcakes. She had to take the weaving off her hand to take care of the icing but was concerned that she might not be able to pick up where she left off. After icing the cupcakes, she made this Finger Weave Holder to set the weaving on until she could get back to it. Note that it even has labels for proper use. This is a left hand Finger Weave Holder as the label indicates and the fingers have simple indicators so the user can easily identify which finger takes which loop - P: pointer; M: middle finger; R: ring finger; Pi: pinkie finger. Since she's coming up with inventions like this at 8, I'm hoping she'll make me a flying skateboard when she's 12.

Originally, in the 13th cent., this castle was a Swabian military outpost of Messina, no distance away. Later, in the 16th cent., it belonged to the Marchese family, eventually passing to the Ruffo family, who until the 17th cent. used it as a hunting lodge. Scaletta Zanclea Castle is an imposing construction on three floors standing at the top of a hill that stretches down towards the sea. It is reached by climbing the stepped streets leading up to the town centre. The architectural distribution of the castle closely reflects the lie of the land, located as it stands on a series of rocky outcrops. The massive fortress is well preserved in its main parts, and is embellished with elegant two-light mullioned windows on the piano nobile and single-light windows on the upper floor. The invention of artillery necessitated a drastic change in defensive structures: the 13th-cent. keep was left unchanged, but it was surrounded by a system of protective works such as a look-out fortress, under the command of the prefect commanding the garrison. The castle has now become public property, and is used as a multipurpose cultural centre; it also houses the Civic Museum, where there is a collection of ancient weapons and documents.

 

Il Castello Rufo Ruffo di Scaletta Zanclea sorge al vertice di una collina a precipizio, tutt’intorno recinta da valli inaccessibili. Nel solo lato orientale, che guarda sullo stretto, il pendio è meno erto ed è in esso che è stata ricavata, con paziente lavoro umano, la faticosa mulattiera, che tuttora congiunge, come nell’oscuro medioevo, "la marina" (fraz. Scaletta Marina) al castello.È in questo lato, infatti, che, sfruttando le maggiori accidentalità venne costruita su una breve spianata che interrompe la foga dell’ascensione, la fortezza avanzata, dove vennero installate, nel seicento numerose bocche da fuoco, che resero invulnerabile la costa.Il profondo mutamento, apportato dall’introduzione delle artigliere, rese necessarie, anche nel sistema difensivo del castello di Scaletta, grandi opere integrative, di cui restano tuttora autorevoli avanzi. I maggiori danni sono derivati dal quasi totale abbandono in cui è stato lasciato nell’ultimo secolo.Il Castello di Scaletta non è stato eretto con un preciso piano architettonico. Esso ha dovuto piegarsi alle inderogabili esigenze topografiche che hanno imposto soluzioni obbligate."Si sono compiute delle vere e proprie acrobazie architettoniche per vincere le disuguaglianze della roccia e comprenderle in solo organismo”.All’esterno l’organismo architettonico presenta, in complesso, caratteri di una certa unità costruttiva, con tracce di manomissioni e di rabberciamenti postumi, oggi pressocchè incontrollabili, a cagione della muratura a pezzate che unifica, senza evidenti demarcazioni, le parti diverse.La caduta degli intonachi ha messo allo scoperto l’apparato murario, costituito essenzialmente di blocchetti calcarei, sommariamente sfaccettati e disposti in allineamenti poco rigorosi. L’azione del tempo, cospargendo tutta la massa di una patina uniforme, ha unificato le tonalità, rendendo, per ciò stesso, sterile ogni tentativo di sorprendere nella compagine esteriore le aggiunte e le modifiche. I lati maggiormente decorati sono il sud-est ed il sud-ovest, dove l’apertura di finestre simmetriche, distribuite in diversi piani, ravviva il severo aspetto militare dell’insieme.Perfettamente conservate sono le finestre del lato sud-est: due bifore in corrispondenza del piano nobile, due piccole monofore nel piano superiore della servitù.La stessa distribuzione si ha nel lato sud-ovest: eguale il numero eguale l’ordine d’ impostazione.Il lato nord-ovest, ove si apre la porta d’ingresso, non presenta, allo stato attuale, che una sola bifora chiusa; tutto il resto del prospetto, di una rigida severità, è perfettamente cieco.La porta ogivale recinta da grandi conci in arenaria, conserva la sua integrità di struttura.Una più ridotta varietà decorativa presenta il quarto lato nord-ovest- in cui non si riscontrano tracce di bifore.Varcando la soglia, l’attenzione è attratta dall’altezza della volta a botte, dalle finestre sospese nel vuoto, dalle porte di intercomunicazione, tagliate nell’alto dei muri divisori ed oggi assolutamente inaccessibili.I tre piani, nell’economia del castello, rispondevano naturalmente, a diverse esigenze e avevano quindi una diversa funzione.Gli ambienti del pianterreno servivano gli armigeri e per il personale addetto alla difesa del castello; il superiore, rispondente al piano nobile, era destinato al castellano e alla sua famiglia, l’ultimo – piano ammezzato – accoglieva probabilmente la servitù.Oggi, nei diversi piani, sono soltanto rilevabili numerose edicolette murali, disimpegnanti l’ufficio di armadi, e, nel piano nobile, il taglio di un grande camino.Caratteristici sono pure alcuni tagli verticali che s’ingrottano nei muri e che attraversano per tutto lo spiegamento dei tre piani; potevano servire da collegamento per un più rapido scambio della piccola suppellettile e assolvevano l’ufficio di canne portavoce.L’accesso al piano terrazzato, che si stende sulla volta a botte, è reso agevole da una lunga scala lapidea a cielo scoperto praticata in un piccolo atrio quadrato. All’esterno la sua presenza è denunziata da un muro rampante, attraversato da numerose feritoie. All’interno del castello è stato allestito un museo, costituito da bacheche e recinzioni allestite nelle varie sale e recanti documenti cartacei (specie iconografici) ma anche araldici, che riguardano il territorio e la famiglia Ruffo. Di vivo interesse culturale sono le medaglie, gli oggetti artigianali, le armi di guerra e le armature, disposti ad arte nei vari ambienti. Un’ulteriore attrazione culturale volta ad accrescere le conoscenze riguardanti il territorio di Scaletta Zanclea.

 

The town of Scaletta Zanclea is dominated by the squared mass of the castle, built around the year 1220, by Fredrick II of Swabia. Originally acted as a military outpost, when, instead was handed to the Ruffo family, and then was used as a hunting residence. The massif fortress is softened by elegant mullioned windows at the main floor and mullioned windows upstairs. Today hosts the Civic Museum that collects old documents and arms, and partly used for exhibitions of modern art.Originally, in the 13th cent., this castle was a Swabian military outpost of Messina, no distance away. Later, in the 16th cent., it belonged to the Marchese family, eventually passing to the Ruffo family, who until the 17th cent. used it as a hunting lodge.

Scaletta Zanclea è un comune italiano di 2.272 abitanti della provincia di Messina in Sicilia.Il comune ha assunto l'estensione attuale nel 1928 con l'unione a Scaletta Zanglea, poi Scaletta Zanclea, del comune di Guidomandri. Esistono quattro frazioni abitate: Scaletta Marina e Guidomandri Marina, che si estendono lungo la costa ionica senza soluzione di continuità tra Capo Scaletta a nord e l'abitato di Itala Marina a sud, Guidomandri Superiore e Scaletta Superiore, nell'entroterra.Scaletta era feudo dei Principi Ruffo ed alleati fedeli degli spagnoli. Durante la rivolta antispagnola di Messina, Scaletta venne assediata ed espugnata dai francesi poco dopo la caduta di Taormina.Nel castello nacque e visse la prima giovinezza la spregiudicata Macalda di Scaletta (1240 ca.-1308 ca.), baronessa di Ficarra e moglie di Alaimo di Lentini, uno dei protagonisti dei Vespri siciliani.

Round one of my invention for nancy. Please excuse the ugly black fabric- that's all I had at the moment that was black. Once I get the design right, it'll all be made out of sweatshirt knit. See my "large format camera" there? And see how I'm wearing a hoodie with a hood so big that it doubles as the little fabric that you need to drape over your head? voila: my invention for nancy. It keeps her warm and helps her see the image all in one. It needs a catchy lil name though....Any suggestions?

Sitting around doing nothing so.... light bulb! :D

The theme for this issue was fashion history between 1900-1900. To illustrate the history, we added close up images of items that were invented at that time as a backdrop to the fashion clothes.

We went to the current Aardman Animation exhibition at the weekend in the M Shed, Bristol. They've got lots of the actual sets on display enclosed in plastic cubes - so I couldn't resist taking a few!
