A sure sign of civilization. Only a human would stack rocks like this. I like stumbling upon little impromptu things like this.
We passed these three stacked trucks on the interstate. They looked like they were mating. I thought it was pretty weird
Carmen stacks her winter wood... She layers the wood - two rows of soft fir which comes from the land, and then two rows of oak. The fir is mostly for kindling and starting the fire and the oak is also split into smaller pieces which burn hot and heat up the cookstove. Carmen has used a cookstove for thirty years. She cooks all her meals on it and the cookstove warms the house and saves on fuel costs.
We like thick layers when we 3D-print!
We 3D-modelled a candy bowl and a stackable box to test 3D-printing objects using thick layers. Normally the diameter of a 3D-printer’s nozzle is 0.4 mm. We drilled this bore up to 1.0 mm - which allowed for more plastic flow and thicker layers.
The results are stronger objects and also an exaggeration of the step features of the layers. Surface smoothness is not so relevant for many objects and by making thick layers they can become a nice feature - specially for decorative.
You can download the STL files for our candy bowl and stacking box below.
All ready to be sewn together! I added the colored cornerstones to continue the vertical color line of the blocks. The setting triangles are two-stack of one quarter of a Lemoyne Star because I think they look a bit like feathers and then I added the orange half frame because I wanted to get a little more orange in there. This one is really hard to get a good picture of the color, but maybe later in the day :)
Love this Reading Stack idea. It's like a little diary of my reading. With that in mind, here is a list of books I'm aspiring to read in the next while.
Gypsy Guitar by David McFadden - I've read this poetry collection before and will likely read it again and again. The one with the elephants is wonderful...
Mandala Symbolism by Jung - something to apply to my bead making perhaps, perhaps more
The Madman and the Professor by Simon Winchester - the story behind the making of the Oxford English Dictionary
On Writing Well by William Zinsser - something to help me hone by own writing skills
Sex and Death to the Age 14 by Spalding Gray - just listened to his monologue 'Monster in a Box' so will follow up with this
The Poems of Catullus - these poems by the Roman born ?84 B.C., bitchy, erotic, wistful, could have been written yesterday
Singing At the Whirlpool by Miodrag Pavlovic - a collection of poetry
Fludd by Hilary Mantel, to follow up 'Beyond Black' from my last stack, which I loved
Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson, some more mod speculative (science) fiction
Flashman in the Great Game by George MacDonald Fraser - another installment of the adventures of the cowardly racist, sexist bastard - a decidedly post-colonial view of the British Empire, and a great rousing adventures so far
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - more Pratchett!
Pigs Have Wings by P.G. Wodehouse - more of the Blandings, light spright and effortless
So I guess we'll see which ones I actually get around to reading.
East and westbound BNSF stack trains fly through Naperville kicking up snow on a very cold Groundhog's Day in 2013.

After the ice storm which hit Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky this January, thousands of trees were left limbless, with layers and layers or branches distributed across the ground. Some branches were cut up into firewood.
The iconic rock stacks of Old Harry Rocks stand proudly against the vast English Channel, weathered by time and tide.

I made it larger to fit my queen-sized bed.
Stack Rocks or Elegug Stacks / Elegug comes from Heligog - guillemot in Welsh .
A Stack is formed, when an arch collapses , leaving its supporting pillars .
An important breeding site for thousands of Guillemots ( May- Mid July ) / Razorbills lower down the stack / a few Kittiwakes / Gulls .
Seabirds - Cormorants , Fulmar, various gulls, etc. - are also on nearby cliffs / the Stack of the Green Bridge / The Cauldron ( Flimston Castle ) .Choughs also breed along this section of coast.
Guillemots and Razorbills, are very obvious on the cliffs from early May until late July, although both make sporadic visits, normally during spells of settled weather, from early winter onwards. The chicks remain ashore for no more than 21 days after hatching. Better for the chicks to complete their fledging at sea than in the jostling cliff communes / 1.8 / 7069 / SR 926.945
The Green Bridge of Wales is nearby.
