Assembled platform placed upside down on top of a table. We used a 1/2'' plywood board cut to 48"x47". Four pieces of 3/4" lumber (2 1/2" wide) used to provide extra strength support on the edge of the platform. The platform can be easily set up or removed from the car. The pipes unscrew from the board and fit inside a small box,and we store the board against a garage wall.
Lucius was born either in 1609 or 1610 as the son of Sir Henry Cary, afterwards 1st Viscount Falkland, and his wife Elizabeth Tanfield, whose father Sir Lawrence Tanfield was at that time Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer. Henry Cary a member of an ancient Devon family, was lord deputy of Ireland from 1622 to 1629. Lucius was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. In 1625 he inherited from his grandfather the manors of Great Tew and Burford in Oxfordshire, and, about the age of 21, married Lettice, daughter of Sir Richard Morrison, of Tooley Park in Leicestershire. Following a quarrel with his father, whom he failed to propitiate by offering to hand over to him his estate, he left England to take service in the Dutch army, but soon returned. In 1633, by the death of his father, he became Viscount Falkland. His mother had embraced Roman Catholicism, to which it was now sought to attract Falkland himself, but his studies and reflections led him, under the influence of William Chillingworth, to the interpretation of religious problems rather by reason than by tradition or authority.
At Great Tew he enjoyed a short but happy period of study, and he assembled a cultured circle, whom the near neighbourhood of the university and his own brilliant qualities attracted to his house. He was the friend of John Hales and Chillingworth, was celebrated by Ben Jonson, John Suckling, Abraham Cowley and Edmund Waller in verse, and in prose by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, who calls him the "incomparable" Falkland, and draws a delightful picture of his society and hospitality.
Falkland's intellectual pleasures, however, were soon interrupted by war and politics. He felt it his duty to take part on the side of King Charles I as a volunteer under Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex in the Bishops' Wars of 1639 against the Scots. In 1640 he was returned for Newport in the Isle of Wight to the Short and Long Parliaments, and took an active part on the side of the opposition. He spoke against the exaction of ship money on 7 December 1640, denouncing the servile conduct of Lord Keeper Finch and the judges.
He supported the prosecution of Thomas Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, at the same time endeavouring on more than one occasion to moderate the measures of the House of Commons in the interests of justice, and voted for the third reading of the attainder on 21 April 1641. On the great question of the church he urged, in the debate of 8 February 1641, that the interference of the clergy in secular matters, the encroachments in jurisdiction of the spiritual courts, and the imposition by authority of unnecessary ceremonies, should be prohibited. On the other hand, though he denied that episcopacy existed jure divino, he was opposed to its abolition; fearing the establishment of the Presbyterian system, which in Scotland had proved equally tyrannical. Triennial parliaments would be sufficient to control the bishops, if they meditated any further attacks upon the national liberties, and he urged that "where it is not necessary to change, it is necessary not to change". (This was probably said in reply to Hampden during the Root and Branch Bill debate that happened later.) Even Hampden still believed that a compromise with the episcopal principle was possible, and assured Falkland that if the bill taken up to the House of Lords on 1 May 1641, excluding the bishops from the Lords and the clergy from secular offices, were passed, "there would be nothing more attempted to the prejudice of the church". Accordingly the bill was supported by Falkland.
The times, however, were not favourable to compromise. The bill was lost in the Lords, and on 27 May the Root and Branch Bill, for the total abolition of episcopacy, was introduced in the House of Commons. This measure Falkland opposed, as well as the second bill for excluding the bishops, introduced on 21 October 1641. In the discussion on the Grand Remonstrance he took the part of the bishops and the Arminians. He was now opposed to the whole policy of the opposition, and, being reproached by John Hampden with his change of attitude, replied "that he had formerly been persuaded by that worthy gentleman to believe many things which he had since found to be untrue, and therefore he had changed his opinion in many particulars as well as to things as to persons".
On 1 January 1642, immediately before the attempted arrest of the five members, of which, however, Falkland was not cognizant, the King offered him the secretaryship of state, and Hyde persuaded him to accept it. Falkland thus became involved directly in the king's policy, though evidently possessing little influence in his counsels. He was one of the peers who signed the protestation against making war, at York on 15 June 1642. On 5 September 1642 he carried Charles's overtures for peace to the parliament, when he informed the leaders of the opposition that the king consented to a thorough reformation of religion. The secret correspondence connected with the Waller plot passed through his hands.
Falkland fought for the king at the Battle of Edgehill (23 October 1642) and at the siege of Gloucester. By this time the hopelessness of the situation had completely overwhelmed him. The aims and principles of neither party in the conflict could satisfy a man of Falkland's high ideals and intellectual vision. His royalism could not suffer the substitution, as the controlling power in the state, of a parliament for the monarchy, nor his conservatism the revolutionary changes in church and state now insisted upon by the opposite faction. The fatal character and policy of the king, the most incapable of men and yet the man upon whom all depended, must have been by now thoroughly understood by Falkland. Compromise had long been out of the question. The victory of either side could only bring misery; and the prolongation of the war was a prospect equally unhappy.
Falkland's ideals and hopes were now destroyed, and he had no definite political convictions such as inspired and strengthened Strafford and John Pym. In fact his sensitive nature shrank from contact with the practical politics of the day and prevented his rise to the place of a leader or a statesman. Clarendon has recorded his final relapse into despair:
Sitting amongst his friends, often, after a deep silence and frequent sighs (he) would with a shrill and sad accent ingeminate the word "Peace, Peace," and would passionately profess that the very agony of the war, and the view of the calamities and desolation the kingdom did and must endure, took his sleep from him and would shortly break his heart.
At Gloucester he had in vain exposed himself to risks. On the morning of the First Battle of Newbury, on 20 September 1643, he declared to his friends, who would have dissuaded him from taking part in the fight, that "he was weary of the times and foresaw much misery to his own Country and did believe he should be out of it ere night." He served during the engagement as a volunteer under Sir John Byron and, riding alone at a gap in a hedge commanded by the enemy's fire, was immediately killed.
His death took place at the early age of 33, which should be borne in mind in every estimate of his career and character. He was succeeded in the title by his eldest son Lucius, 3rd Viscount Falkland, his male descent becoming extinct in the person of Anthony, 5th viscount, in 1694, when the viscounty passed to Lucius Henry (1687-1730), a descendant of the first viscount and his direct descendants.

PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - DECEMBER 15, 2014
Employees assemble tablets at the Surtab factory in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Surtab, which was established in 2013 with funding from USAID, has been a huge boost to the technology sector in Haiti. The company has hired 65 employees so far—98 percent of whom are women—and provided them with three months of training and on-site instruction. Now, the skilled local workers are paid more than three times the minimum wage and given health benefits. Not only has Surtab empowered its workers, but its product is also improving the lives of Haitians. The tablets are produced for commercial sale, but they are also used in education, healthcare and agriculture, increasing efficiency in programs that seek to create a brighter future for Haiti.

I'd like to add the Vision and Hawkeye at some point but might pass on them for now to save $$. I've pretty much got the core team I want with the addition of Thor.
The Goliath figure is a Marvel Legends one, but the scale seems fine since he often ran around stuck at a giant size. Hulk is from the movie line from his most recent film outing, but is in the 3.75 scale, and the Wasp appears courtesy of photoshop, which renders all scale questions moot!
The Castle has been fully assembled. The Castle is opened up to show the interior. Flags and various other accessories have been added. They include the furniture, staircase, platform, and bridge. Tinker Bell has been attached to the flagpole of the highest tower. The other figures have been placed in various spots in and around the Castle.
The Disneyland Resort 60th Anniversary Diamond Celebration Sleeping Beauty Castle Playset. Disneyland purchase on Sunday May 31, 2015, from the World of Disney store. It was released in Disneyland on May 20, 2015. Detailed photos boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed, in various configurations.
The Castle is in a large box, requires assembly, and costs $84.95.
The Castle has lights and sounds, powered by included batteries. Pressing the left button on the steps of the entrance causes a light show with various towers being lit up in white and blue. Pressing the right button causes one of four short musical segments to be played.
There are 10 mini figures included, all of which can free stand (some more stably than others). Prince Phillip also comes with separate sword and shield, both of which attach to him. I had difficulty getting the sword to stay in his hand, and broke the handle off the sword in trying. But I super glued the handle to his hand, then the blade to the handle, and the fix worked. Tinker Bell comes with a transparent post that looks like a long double sided wrench, which enables her to hang in the air off one of the tower flag poles. Some of the mini figure's faces are a bit off, especially their eyes, but overall they are good representations of the animated characters.
The Castle can be displayed closed (as it comes in the box), or can be opened up to be able to use the interior spaces. The gate of the front entrance can slide up and down. Two of the doors in the towers can open and close. Included is a tall staircase, a low platform. and a bridge, all of which are sturdy. The eight flags are made of wavy vinyl with poles that stick into the towers. Then decals are applied to the flags that say Disneyland on one side, and have the D60 logo on the other side.
The Castle was fun and easy to put together. The sound and light show is short but impressive up close. This is a very good value with the quality of construction and the number and variety of figures and accessories included. It is on a par with the Frozen Arendelle Castle playset, which was $15 more expensive.

The manual, front page.
I don't really have room for this huge Frozen Snowflake Mansion dollhouse, by Kidkraft. But I bought it anyway, and am now in the process of assembling it. It was $169.90, from Costco (now sold out online and in stores). I decided to photograph each assembly step, following the detailed instructions in the 20+ page manual.
It comes in a very large box, which is 50'' L x 18'' W x 7'' D, and weighs 60 pounds! Fully assembled, it is 57'' H x 49'' W x 16'' D. It consists of 9 rooms in three stories, and accommodates 12'' dolls, such as the Classic Elsa and Anna dolls. It also includes 20 pieces of furniture, three of which light up (batteries included) and three of which contain foam padding to make them more realistic. As I expected from a Kidkraft product, the items are well made and very sturdy. One disappointing feature is that the bed for Elsa is about an inch too small for her, so she has to bend her knees to fit into it. But it has a real foam mattress and pillow, and is decorated very nicely with snowflakes, so Elsa forgives the shortness of the bed.
Classic Elsa is very happy with her new home, and so is Anna! It took a total of 12 hours to assemble (with various breaks). I was slowed down because I took photos as I went along. Also because I was assembling them in a cramped area, I couldn't lay out all the pieces before I started, so I pretty much left everything in the box (except the screws), and searched for individual pieces as I needed them. I also had to undo and redo several steps, because I assembled some things the wrong way. Finally some of the items were hard to assemble, especially the balcony railing.
I am very impressed with the construction of the house, and it is very beautiful. It is about 4 feet wide and high, a foot deep. Because the base is totally flat, it is also easy to slide along the floor (mine is carpeted) to move it if needed. I loved the fact that several of the furniture pieces had actual foam padding - the bed, the sofa and the throne. In general, the furniture is actually a bit too small for 1/6 scale dolls, as I already mentioned with the bed. That is the same problem with my other 1/6 scale doll house (the Disney Store's Disney Princess Enchanted Palace Play Set). The lamp's battery was dead, so it had to be replaced (fortunately I already had the required LR44 batteries), the vanity lights worked perfectly. I like that all three light-up items have auto shut-off mechanisms.
I have begun adding other dolls and accessories to fill the dollhouse some more, and will post more photos as I do so.
Assembled extruder with heatsink and 24 VDC fan, side view.
Be sure to use a 40 x 40mm 24 VDC fan. MBI uses approximately a 5 CFM fan, but you can get much better, quieter fans which move more air (higher CFM). The fan shown is approximately 7 CFM. Note arrows molded into the side of the fan and orient the fan such that it blows towards the heatsink.
