Today I focused on refining the panelling I glued up yesterday, machining a prototype drogue, and improving the form-tool for the RCS thrusters.
The angle on the drogue prototype is wrong, I need to do some more research to work out what angle it should be. I think I bored it out at 35°.
For the RCS thruster tools I ground a stub length drill with the appropriate angle which is dedicated to boring out the tiny thrusters. They're extremely fiddly to machine, as they tend to snap off the stock before I've reached the final dimension. I will obviously fine tune the process, as I need to be able to make hundreds...

GRECO ART STUDIO
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Painting to me it’s a life force, not a career.
Later on in my life, in order to refine what I learned through experience and
years of practice, I attended the Art Students League of New York, The New York
Academy of Art, and FIT(Fashion Institute of Technology) where I studied
portraiture and human anatomy.
My work has been shown in various solos and group
exhibits in New York and Baltimore, MD, and are owned by private collectors
throughout the U.S., Europe and Canada. One of my paintings is in the permanent
collection of the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Another work is included in the September 11 Digital Archives at the Center of
History and New Media at Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia. I have also been
published twice in Boheme Magazine online, in Paris, France. My commentary on
one of the works by Jean-Michael Basquiat, was included in his exhibition at
the Brooklyn Museum of Art, 2005. One of my paintings was exhibited at the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York. (June of 2005.) My work is also in the
Library of Congress; Exhibit No. 1132 Archive No. 783, and also has been
featured in NY Arts Magazine, Brooklyn Fine Art magazine, and the Arts &
Entertainment supplements of Brooklyn Eagle (In Brooklyn) and the Brooklyn
Courier (24/7).
In pursuing my art, I focused primarily on the human
figure. This de
cision was initially an aesthetic one, although an even deeper
response to the human condition has inspired my work. I believe human beings
are noble. We live with the knowledge that some day our lives will end and we
wonder if there is a purpose to our existence. I believe there is a very
tragic, noble quality to this basic condition. I believe that to create is to
reach into the depth of your soul and let your spirit free; to grasp the first
impression through sight and transform it into an idea and ultimately into a
piece of art. I believe art is not always our expression of the beauty that
surrounds us in every day lives; it is also our expression of our anger,
frustration, sorrow, happiness or dreams harbored in our unconscious mind,
which we are unable to express in words.
I believe art is communication with one another.
Those that can see between the fine lines can break the code and ‘read’ the
message. Art to me is like religion; you must believe in it, practice it, and
share it. When I paint, I want the end results to reflect my mood at that time.
Having a range of moods, I have a variety of styles. After many years of
creating figurative paintings, I am now beginning to change directions and am
leaning towards figurative abstract expressionism. Now in my paintings, I want
to offer a creation and have the viewer complete it with his interpretation. I
believe art should offer more then one view; it no longer belongs to the artist
alone. W
hen we view art, it should take us on an intimate journey.
For me, this new direction is a reawakening in my
paintings that allows me to express my ‘ideas’ more effectively. However, as
Mark Rothko believed, I too believe that there should be a clear line between
illustration, design, decoration, and the production of fine art. I believe art
should have its own ‘reality’ not merely mimic the visual world around us. The
essence of painting is, to me, the artist’s unique perspective on the world and
his communication of that perspective to the observer. When we view his
painting we enter his reality. Therefore, I have shifted from my realistic
paintings to the evolution of a more abstract style. Paintings that are
disturbing to look at , as is the case in some of my recent works, are meant
not as a sneering judgment, but as a genuinely sympathetic appraisal of the
human condition, with the end of mending and healing, not dismembering and
destroying.
I believe art must aspire to a loftier goal than
commentary and must speak to the essentially human aspect common to all of us
if it is to succeed. When it does, it is timeless and tragic.

South Pacific Enterprise 1956.
The history of the Colonial Sugar Refining Company (CSR Co.)
This Centenary commemorative book was issued to company shareholders in 1955.
An Australian enterprise founded 1855 by Edward Knox, a Danish immigrant, from earlier origins as the Australasian Sugar Company ( 1842), which Knox managed. The company established sugar operations in Australia, Fiji, New Zealand and over the next 150 years diversified into building materials, chemicals etc.

This candle lamp gave out a curious pattern in the dark, and it reminded me of how the Lord refines and shapes us...and the light that brings out the beauty in us all as well.
Malachi 3:3 says:
"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."
Silver is a very ductile and malleable (slightly harder than gold) metal with a brilliant white metallic luster that can take a high degree of polish. It has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals, even higher than copper, but at greater cost and tarnishability .
Among metals, pure silver has the highest thermal conductivity, whitest color, the highest optical reflectivity. Silver also has the lowest contact resistance of any metal. Silver halides are photosensitive and are remarkable for their ability to record a latent image that can later be developed chemically. [that's for fellow Flicker fans] Silver is stable in pure air and water, but tarnishes when it is exposed to air or water [contaminated] containing ozone or hydrogen sulfide. [edited from Wikipedia]
back to Malachi....and the lesson from His Word, i received in the mail just today..
Malachi 3:3 says:
"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."
This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God.
One of the women offered to find out the process of refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible Study.
That week, the woman called a silversmith and made an appointment to watch him at work. She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining silver.
As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities.
The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says:
"He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver."
She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refined.
The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed.
The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, "How do you know when the silver is fully refined?"
He smiled at her and answered,
"Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it."
Amoco Oil Company Casper refinery in 1990. The refinery was located on the North Platte River and closed shortly after this photo was taken. The refinery was meant to refine sweet crude from the nearby fields and ship refined product via pipeline south towards midwestern markets.

Red Flag exercises typically occur four times annually, with a focus on refining air, ground, space, and cyber integration in a contested-degraded environment.
The "orb" was sectioned into three parts to make removing it easier once the sculpting was complete. This way I can remove one piece at a time and not disturb the rest of the clay.

Mortgage Relief Services
Mortgage Relief Service is the process of achieving change in the loan contract agreed to by the lender and the borrower. The mortgage relief services getting attention now are those designed to reduce the principle balance and or interest rate and payment on homeowners mortgages.
Homeowners that are interested in either reducing their principle balance and or interest rate and mortgage payment (whether they are delinquent on their mortgage or not) should request professional mortgage relief assistance.
Homeowners are unlikely to get such a change unless they ask, and homeowners should also make the investment required to make their case as clearly as possible and most importantly seek professional assistance to insure the most favorable outcome possible.
The stakes are very high: your house and your credit.
In most cases, the decision on mortgage relief is not made by the firm that owns the loan. It is made by a firm servicing the loan under contract to the owner. The owner could be a single lender, or it could be a group of investors who own pieces of a mortgage-backed security collateralized by a pool of loans. Every servicing company and every lender has different guidelines that they follow when it comes to signing off on mortgage relief. This is why working with a professional and experienced mortgage relief servicing company is essential.
Whoever owns the loan (whether it is a lender or a group of lenders), the servicing firm is contractually obligated to find the solution to payment problems that will minimize loss to the owner. If the lowest-cost solution is a mortgage relief agreement, that's great -- everyone involved prefers a mortgage relief agreement instead of a foreclosure. But if a foreclosure would generate lower costs for the owner, the decision will be to foreclose. The cost of foreclosure to the borrower does not enter the decision.
Yet the decision is far from cut and dried, and it can be materially affected by whether and how the borrower presents his case.
That is why homeowners faced with this prospect, whether they are delinquent or not, should request professional Mortgage Relief Assistance.

Brazil has revamped energy policy under the Temer administration, opening opportunities to private companies in the oil & gas and power sectors and reducing the role of state oil company Petrobras. The oil licensing agency ANP held its fourth pre-salt bid round on June 7 and Petrobras is looking to divest assets in refining, pipelines, and LNG. Will Brazil meet its oil and gas production targets and sustainably develop the vast pre-salt reserves? How can the country diversify its electricity matrix? Will the current energy policy priorities be sustained under the next administration?
The Inter-American Dialogue hosted a panel discussion on the recent oil licensing rounds, opportunities for private investment in the oil, gas and power sectors, and the outlook for energy policy next year.

Petcoke is a by-product of crude oil refining. It is a thick, black, powdery dust that is being stored in huge mounds along the Calumet River on Chicago's far southeast side 10th ward not far from the Indiana border.
Just across the border in Whiting, Indiana is the British Petroleum processing plant that produces the petcoke. Right now, the plant produces around 2,000 tons of the stuff every day, but that is set to rise to around 6,000 tons.
Residents of the mostly African-American and Latino 10th ward are angry because the dust blows around their neighborhood and covers everything with a layer of fine powder. They cannot open their windows. Each day they have to wipe the dust off of furniture, appliances, etc. Yet, even that is not good enough for the dust even enters homes through chimneys and furnaces. Dust gets in children's eyes and cases of asthma are on the rise. A resident even said that her kid's birthday party was ruined when some of the black dust blew into their backyard and covered the food, so they were forced to throw it out and end the celebration. There is also worry about the long-term effects of being exposed to whatever materials or elements are contained in the dust.
So far, the city of Chicago has been slow to react to the concerns of local residents. Mayor Emanuel has an ordinance on the table to regulate petcoke, but critics say that it contains a loophole that might allow companies to continue to store petcoke along the river.
A spokesman for 10th ward alderman John Pope said that ' they want to make sure they get everything right legally, not only to protect the area residents, but also the businesses involved'.

When we refinanced our mortgage, we got a complimentary Suntrust Mortgage tote bag. Wow. I've been using it as my everyday "man bag" or murse, so I don't have to pay the new 5 cent bag tax when I run errands or buy a sandwich. It is so dorky.
This is a westbound Norfolk Southern Railway freight train in the late morning of 10 May 2016 at Horseshoe Curve, west of Altoona, Pennsylvania, USA. It was headed by two NS engines - # 9693, a General Electric CW40-9, and # 7211, a General Motors Electro-Motive Division SD80MAC.
These are Trinity Industries Leasing Company tank cars, marked with the initials TILX, and Deep Rock Refining Company tank cars, marked DPRX. They were built in the 2010s and are used to transport petroleum (crude oil).

I'm still refining the chicken recipe. More glazing, more glazing! This recipe is VERY loose :)
Black Currant Glazed Chicken
1/4 cup black currant jelly
2 tbs dijon mustard
2 tbs olive oil
black pepper and salt
6 chicken legs
Combine glaze ingredients in a bowl or cup and stir all together. Add to chicken legs in a zippy bag and smoosh around for a bit. Put legs in a greased and foiled baking pan (this stuff makes a MESS.. use the foil!) and bake at 350 until chicken is done. Glaze chicken more jelly glaze as it cooks and as you turn it. This is an important step!
Make sure you have napkins :)

Further refining of my custom "photomosaic" software.
Like a regular photomosaic, but the tiles can be arbitrarily placed, rotated, and scaled. Image is composed of %100 graffiti images (no blending with target image).
Placement of tiles is done based only on intensity of target image (i.e., grayscale). Hence the pseudorandom colorization.

Marines with Bravo Company, Battalion Landing Team 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment, 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit, run with their rifles during an endurance course while training in Djibouti, October 9, 2012. The endurance course was part of a three-week training force package, which paired Marines of Bravo Company with Marines of Combat Logistics Battalion 24, 24th MEU, to gain a shared understanding of each other's roles in the Marine Corps Air Ground Task Force and refine their basic infantry skills in Djibouti's rugged terrain. The package comprised basic infantry skills, desert survival techniques, endurance courses and a simulated war. The 24th MEU is deployed with the Iwo Jima Amphibious Ready Group as a theater reserve and crisis response force in the U.S. Central Command and U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet area of responsibility.
Lin Bao-ling’s artistic works combine contemporary ink and lighting. He uses drafting films and other unorthodox materials as a canvas for painting. These materials are similar to the qualities of plastic, such that diluted paints can flow freely on their surface before condensing. The style is reminiscent of how light drifts across a city, freeze-framing beautiful moments and memories. This is why Lin is known as the “light-refining” artist.
He has held exhibitions in the U.S., Singapore, and Taiwan. Not having attended school before the age of fifteen, Lin has had an eccentric learning process, fearlessly pioneering his painting style. He will be holding a solo exhibition in Tainan in October, titled Sleepless Nights, which is derived from Shuidiao Getou, a traditional Chinese melody by the Song Dynasty poet Su Shi. Having had many sleepless nights, Lin came to form his own painting style through a collision with the world and its rules.
