My wedding dress has proved to be a good investment. I don’t remember exactly how much I paid . . . maybe $120? (It was on the clearance rack.) Granted, this isn’t a traditional dress; it’s more of a cocktail frock. But I’ve gotten a ton of remixes from it: dressy, business creative, and casual.
Today, I wore it to birdwatch at the Eureka boardwalk and then shed the boots, rolled up the leggings, and played tag with the surf.

Woody being used to shoot cloud time lapse videos. The bandage is holding on the Lego 9v motor which I have adapted to operate the zoom switch - only built last night so no time to devise a permanent mount. The motor plugs into port C in place of the shutter relays.
Using the 'direct command' app in the Bricx Command Center, I can move the camera about and change the zoom from the laptop I use to record the video.
Not really needed for the cloud videos but I want to try and film the birds at the various feeders in the garden.

Mini Biography
Juliette Lewis is recognized as one of Hollywood's most talented and versatile actors of her generation. She first stunned mass audiences and critics alike with her Oscar-nominated performance as 'Danielle Bowden' in Cape Fear (1991). To date, she has worked with some of the most revered directors in the industry: Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen, Lasse Hallström, Oliver Stone, and Garry Marshall. Most recently, she received an Emmy nomination for her performance in My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV). Whether lending dramatic authenticity or a natural comedic flair, Lewis graces her roles with remarkable range and an original and captivating style.
Lewis recently co-starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in the thriller Enough (2002/I) directed by Michael Apted. Lewis played the best friend of an abused woman who must reclaim her life from her dangerous husband. The part appealed to her because she got to play a "sweet, vibrant, regular gal," she offers. The poignant drama Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) debuted on August 25, 2002, on HBO, in which Lewis stared with Uma Thurman and Gena Rowlands. Set in the 1980s, the story follows two single, working-class New Jersey women on a bittersweet quest for love and meaning. Based on the play by Laura Cahill, the film is directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mira Nair and the executive producer is Thurman.
Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV) was the centerpiece premiere at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. "I've never seen this female perspective told before with such a true voice," says Lewis, who plays a single mother in Hysterical Blindness (2002) (TV). "It's raw, heartbreakingly honest and real."
Lewis went blond for her role in the DreamWorks comedy Old School (2003), co-starring opposite Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell in this story of disenchanted men who try to recapture their college days by starting a fraternity. "The script was a laugh-out-loud page-turner," says Lewis, who plays Wilson's seemingly innocent girlfriend. "If I was going to be in a rip-roaring boy's comedy, I knew I didn't want to play straight man. I love doing comedy and doing characters, and I made this one a pampered California girl. My scenes with Luke Wilson are very situational--and that's where the comedy lies. I'm naturally kind of ridiculous. I don't take myself or others too seriously." Old School (2003)) was released in 2003.
Lewis is currently filming the feature Blueberry (2004), based on the French comic book adventures of Western hero Mike Blueberry. She stars alongside Michael Madsen and French film star Vincent Cassel in this project directed by Jan Kounen. For her role as a rancher's daughter, Lewis is on horseback for much of the film. "I used to ride years ago, but I can only hope the fearlessness I had when I was 11 still lives," she says. The production is shooting on location in Mexico, Spain, France, and Britain.
Lewis recently received an Emmy nomination for her performance in Showtime's My Louisiana Sky (2001) (TV), a coming-of-age drama set in rural Louisiana in the early 1950s. Lewis plays Dorie Kay, an urbanized working woman who tries to help her 12-year-old niece come to terms with the girl's developmentally challenged parents. Based on the Kimberly Willis Holt novel, the acclaimed film was directed by Adam Arkin, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Directing, and produced by Anthony Edwards.
One of Lewis' most challenging roles to date was Carla Tate, a mentally challenged woman on a journey of independence and self discovery in Garry Marshall's The Other Sister (1999). "I wanted to capture her honesty so people could relate to her," says Lewis, who starred with her longtime friend Giovanni Ribisi, as well as Diane Keaton and Tom Skerritt. "I was playing a character who was full of life and determination, and it really had an effect on me. I connected very deeply to Carla and her feelings."
Other recent projects include the colorful European comedy release of Room to Rent (2000), in which Lewis sings and dances as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator; the crime thriller The Way of the Gun (2000), starring Benicio Del Toro and Ryan Phillippe; and Picture Claire (2001), a mockumentary about the making of a big-budget film, with Gina Gershon.
Lewis was born in Hollywood to Glenis Batley, a graphic designer, and actor Geoffrey Lewis, a regular in Clint Eastwood's films and frontman of the musical group Celestial Navigations. By the age of 6, she knew she wanted to be a performer and found inspiration in musicals like Fame (1980) and Grease (1978). At 12, Lewis landed her first leading role in the Showtime miniseries Home Fires (1987) (TV). After appearing in the sitcoms "The Wonder Years" (1988) and "I Married Dora" (1987), she went on to star with Chevy Chase in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and with Jennifer Jason Leigh in the drama Crooked Hearts (1991). At 16, Lewis starred in the critically acclaimed telefilm Too Young to Die? (1990) (TV), based on the true story of Amanda Sue Bradley, a sexually abused runaway who was the first minor to receive the death sentence. Lewis' performance caught the attention of Martin Scorsese, who cast her in the thriller Cape Fear (1991). Her powerful scenes with Robert De Niro captured the quiet complexities of adolescence and earned her an Oscar nomination and Golden Globe nomination for Best Supporting Actress. Her auditorium scene with De Niro goes down in movie-making history as one of cinema's classic scenes. Lewis next worked with Woody Allen in Husbands and Wives (1992), playing a self-assured college coed who has a penchant for older men, particularly her married professor. She then went on to star in the bittersweet love story That Night (1992), with C. Thomas Howell. In 1993, Lewis starred as Adele Corners, a dysfunctional innocent on a cross-country journey with her psycho-killer boyfriend (Brad Pitt) in Kalifornia (1993). She also played a waitress from Queens opposite Gary Oldman in Romeo Is Bleeding (1993) and a wise and worldly young drifter in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) with Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. In 1994, Lewis starred alongside Woody Harrelson in Natural Born Killers (1994), Oliver Stone's controversial media satire about two mass murderers who become legendary folk heroes. Lewis's other credits include the Nora Ephron comedy Mixed Nuts (1994) with Steve Martin and Adam Sandler; the sci-fi action film Strange Days (1995) with Ralph Fiennes and Angela Bassett; and Quentin Tarantino's vampire tale From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) with George Clooney. In 1996, Lewis appeared as Shirley MacLaine's granddaughter in The Evening Star (1996). She went on to star in the independent film Some Girl (1998), with Michael Rapaport and Giovanni Ribisi, and the thriller The 4th Floor (1999) with William Hurt. Lewis has been married since 1999 to professional skateboarder Stephen Berra but has filed for divorce.

I love the versatility of the Ottobre patterns. The fit of this model (see tags) is very well for my boy. (I added an elastic band in part of the waistband after taking the picture, to make it fit even better). I used this pattern several times now and each time modified it in a different way.
This time I cut the front leg into 2 pieces thus creating a triangular knee part. I double stiched the seams with an turquoise thread and used different hip pockets.
I like the way the jeans turned out. It was a lot of work, though, and the next pant I sew will be more simple.

The m4 is nothing new, it is not part of a new release, I did not win any of them. Then why do I love them so much? The first answer, is because they are a classic BA item, the other is that the weapon, like its real life counter part is very versatile. As you can see, I have modified some of mine, some not. Their flash hider allows for cut flex tubing to fit on the end, acting as a silencer, I used light gray with some added electric tape. The u-clip also provides many different connections to the weapon, to adapt your figures to the environment, (and as we all know, adaptation is the key to survival). I have beneath the text displayed, a stg lamp, a BA combat knife acting as a bayonet, a BA stun grenade acting as (?), and a BA m203 acting as an under barreled grenade launcher. I also have the BA monopod acting as a foregrip, an attachment most military personnel use.
Now, away from the purism and onto modifications. I have used the assault carbine stock, trimmed the back sight, added a electric tape magpul, as well as trimmed the barrel to give that particular carbine a compact and CQB feel. For my second modification I used some of the same techniques, as well as cut off the backlight off completely and added the AC8 scope to act as an acog.
This is one of my favorite BA items to date (protos included), and pick up about ten per order. I definitely recommend picking up a few of these if you are a modern builder. The only downside of this fine weapon system is the handgaurd, it widens as the it gets closer to the gun, while it acts as a certainly visually appealing aspect, it will bend u-clips that are attached. Though this is a downside, the plastic that Will uses, allows you to bend them back in to shape!
In conclusion, this item is almost perfectly accurate to the real life counterpart, is easy to modify, purist or not. I will definitely have to do a review as in depth as this when I can get my hands on a few of the new ARCs.
As always, thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

I needed a bird for the CC Versatile challenge... this one sat still and did not fly away as I clicked the shutter! :-)
Fresh from helping out elsewhere during the busy Festival weeks, Lothian Trident 628 is seen back on the familiar territory of service 14. This one of the last dual-door buses (for those rear platform lovers the middle door is exit only!), and part of a diminishing fleet of buses still in the harleyquin (or hurleyquin!) livery.
Service 14's origins goes way back to Edinburgh tram days, when routes 13 and 14 served the Granton, Ferry Road, Bonnington and Leith Walk areas. However although the replacement bus route retained number 14, its southern end was altered to serve Newington, Prestonfield, Craigmillar and Niddrie and for a time Newcraighall. Nowadays the route runs between the 'council' estates of Muirhouse and Greendykes and 628 is seen at the latter's leafy terminus.
The harleyquin livery did not quite fit in with traditional 'Edinburghers' - it appeared to offer more identity with a dress design than with an historic city such as Edinburgh!
I turned up at at the University of Adelaide to shoot an amazing specimen box today. This was gong to be about a 2 hour shoot and one I had been looking forward to for some time. I love photographing old things with a bit of history.
When I arrived the client asked if I could shoot a few more items while I was there. There ended up being 10 items in total, all of varying sizes, one a 1metre wide fossil!. I certainly had not prepared for these. I had a good look around and found some paper and boxes to rig up a little seamless setup which worked great.
I had parked quite a distance from the university, but had taken a full lighting setup with me "just in case". What started out as a quick easy shoot became a pretty elaborate one that required tricky lighting and positioning. The results were fantastic, and the client will be receiving a great set of images with no hassle because I was prepared and made do with what I had at hand to pull it off.
So what are these items here? These are crampons used by Sir Douglas Mawson. What a buzz to handle and photograph these pieces. What an amazing man Mawson was, and I felt honoured to be responsible for recording some of his items today.
Peace, Denis

You may imagine him chained to his view camera, but "well-known pro Ansel Adams" was in reality a bit of a gear hound like the rest of us. Here he's taken up the Hasselblad 500C just a year after its introduction. (Also, remember he was an official advisor to Polaroid and wrote books about it.)
He had a long relationship with Zeiss products—shooting this famous 1937 image with a handheld Contax. I can't find the reference, but the Super Ikonta B he picked up was "commandeered" by his wife Virginia for family photos. But especially in later years, the Hasselblad seems to have been his regular (lift-able) companion, used for the graffiti image from his 80th year which closes his book Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs.

We love Ciambotta for so many different reasons. We love the colours in the dish, how it makes the most of summer vegetables at their peak right now, that it is uber healthy and our children love it. But what we love most is that its flavour improves with time and it can be re...

The Ellaria is a modular and adaptable battleship engineered for diverse combat, exploration, and deployment operations. Its four distinct sections offer unparalleled versatility:
Command Section: The forward module serves as the ship’s operational hub, featuring the bridge, med bay, stasis pods, and a small armory. Twin ramps on either side facilitate troop deployment, and a rear hatch seals the section when detached. Armed with dual forward-facing heavy blaster cannons and twin gimbaled gatling guns, it provides formidable offensive and defensive firepower. When disconnected, this section operates as a troop and medical deployment craft, capable of planetary landings for rapid response or recovery missions.
Airlock Module: This section functions as the ship’s connective hub, equipped with extendable docking corridors and dual-layer airlocks for secure docking with stations or other vessels.
Cargo Hold: This central module includes four shielded cargo bays, each capable of opening into the vacuum of space while maintaining a pressurized corridor. Designed for flexibility, the cargo hold accommodates fighters, troops, vehicles, artillery, or modular rooms for diplomacy or exploration. Externally, it’s equipped with heavy blaster cannons capable of plasma torpedo launches, shield generators for reinforced defense, and advanced sensors for long-range scanning or jamming. The cargo hold can detach as an independent defensive platform or drop zone, complete with ramps for ground deployment. Quick-deploy fighters and land speeders extend its utility in both space and ground engagements.
Engineering Section: Housing the ship’s dual heavy thrusters and Crystal Core Power System (a near-infinite energy generator with risks of overtaxing), this section regulates power distribution via advanced converters. It powers an ion cannon capable of disabling enemy ships and systems, while two scouting drones provide reconnaissance. On the ground, the section can operate independently, creating an impenetrable shield for defensive purposes.
Each module is equipped with backup power systems, ensuring operational independence when disconnected. When the command section, airlock, and engineering connect without the cargo hold, the Ellaria can function as a nimble Corvette, adding to its versatility. The Ellaria’s modular design, advanced weaponry, and adaptability make it a cornerstone of any fleet, excelling in combat, deployment, and support roles alike.
