My transformation to Challenge 162
You have to wonder these days what new cadets consider to be “fun.” That was the word many from the Class of 2018 used to describe the Zilinski Challenge Aug. 10 at Camp Buckner.
Squads were tested on physical strength and endurance throughout the challenge while graded on several soldier skills they’ve learned during Cadet Basic Training, like donning and sealing a protective mask, land navigation, assembling the radio and calling in for medical evacuation.
Somewhat a departure from previous Buckner challenges that used Zodiacs to get squads around a short course on Lake Popolopen, this time the squad had to low crawl across the beach and head first into the cold, murky water.
They also low crawled and swung through two obstacles at Marne, and completed three others at the Anzio Obstacle Course.
Perhaps the fun was at the Buckner Parade Field where legs buckled and bodies crumbled after a series of physical challenges. First, the Humvee push—about 300-400 meters across concrete and grass, assumably the best of both worlds. Then, imagine all that was left of the vehicle was one, huge tire. The squad had to push that back and forth another sizeable distance. Pushups, buddy carries, flutter kicks and pullups would follow before they were tested on assembling a swiss seat for rappelling.

I didn't follow one element of the challenge and that was dividing the photo in half and to represent seasons. I wanted to use a drop shadow technique and also blend the photos into one. I did develop my own bokeh in PS and used the appropriate textures. I chose water and desert vs opposite seasons.
What a horrible start in the challenge!!!! Mieke was thrown out of the party because dachshund "Würstel" makes a pee in the casino!!!! Sakrileg!!!! And her real ozelot stola is toooo...hot and her vintage Barbie gown is itching and the most horrible: Mieke think she lost her Ipad. Puuuuhhhh, now Würstel, let's go and have a glass of Dom Perignon at "Cafe du Paris" or better at McDonalds, if we find one at MC, hahaha. It doesn't matter if you make a pee there, bad bad dog!!!!
1973 Dodge Challenger of the first generation.
I've shot this at the Nationaal Oldtimer Festival 2013 on Circuit Park Zandvoort. Hundreds of classic cars from all kinds of marques showed up. There were classic races on the track, free tracktime for anyone who wanted a go, a huge Porsche Paddock, various Bulls in honour of Lamborghini's 50th anniversary year and a demonstration by Indian Pete and his Peterbilt Jettruck (2 Phantom F4 turbine engines developing a whopping 12000 HP).
Take a look at the rest of the photo's I took at the Nationaal Oldtimer Festival here:

I thought I would share this video from earlier this year. This was a challenge via a friend from a face book page. Ice water wow caught me out , I new it would be cold but not quite as cold as it was. I apologize for the swear word. It still makes me laugh.

Got a tube in the mail today from the nice people at NetLife Research with a UX Challenge towel/flag/sling (?) which I hung under my "IAs do it for the experience" decal. They also sent their Bad Usability Calendar 2009, sweet! :) Thanks NetLife Research!

This is an amazing opportunity for you to own a nostalgic piece of automobile history!
Dodge marketed this Mitsubishi-built car in the late 70’s and early 80’s as the Challenger. A sister model, the Sapporo was also marketed by Plymouth. These much loved cars have all but disappeared from the face of the planet but this Challenger has survived and never ceases to cause a stir!
The Challenger came very well equipped for the time with a big 2.6 liter 4-cylinder engine, 5-speed manual transmission, power steering, power 4-wheel disc brakes, 14-inch radial tires with raised-white letters mounted on alloy-wheels, full instrumentation including a tachometer, tilt steering, intermittent wipers, overhead console with digital clock and pivoting map light and dual power side mirrors just to name a few features. This car is equipped with a MOPAR air conditioning system (not currently working) and a period correct AM/FM cassette stereo.
It is finished in a factory two-tone color scheme of Bright Blue Metallic (B22) and Warm White (W61). The interior on this car is an amazing blast from the past! The blue and white with blue, white and red plaid inserts is completely original and in terrific shape! The color-matched louvers on the side windows were standard but the louvers on the rear window were an aftermarket accessory. The rear louvers lift up for easily window cleaning or can be easily removed for a more stock look. Clearly the car has been loved and well cared for its 34 years.
For its time the Challenger was a unique car not only to look at but also to drive. This Challenger runs and drives terrifically! The engine has good power and the transmission shifts smoothly. It cruises at freeway speeds with no problems. We recently installed a remanufactured carburetor and muffler and tailpipe. It passed California emissions on 6/22/12. I just completed a couple hundred mile trip in the car and it performed very well!
THE GOOD
Clearly this car is a survivor and is one of what must be very, very few Challengers left in original condition. There are just tick over 95,000 miles on the odometer which (based on the car’s condition) are assumed to be correct. Mechanically the car starts, runs, drives and stops well. The interior is an amazing time capsule as you can see from the photos. All the gauges, the radio, the overhead console with clock, the dual power mirrors and intermittent wipers work. The car is like it was back in the 70’s right down to the original Mitsubishi ignition key. The car comes with an owner’s manual and shop manual as well as an original sales brochure. It is ready for you to drive and enjoy.
THE NOT SO GOOD
Though in great condition overall, this car is 34 years old and has a few dings and scratches here and there. There is a small amount of surface rust on the lower rockers of the front fenders which is characteristic of these cars. Though the finish is brilliant, the clear coat on the hood and roof are crazed and a meticulous owner might want to have those parts refinished. There is an aftermarket power antenna installed that does not work. As previously mentioned the air conditioner is not working. There is a chip in the plastic on the driver’s side mirror and one of the vents in the center of the dash is missing. Each seat should have four small plastic trim pieces that is finish trim. Some of these trim pieces have come off (pictured). The original alloy wheels have not been curbed but could stand a good polishing. Sections of the wheels were painted blue by a previous owner and that paint job has not stood the test of time. None of these things listed greatly deter from how nice this car is overall. I simply mention them so you the potential buyer has a good idea of the car’s true condition.

A guest by the name of Carol Bailey Floyd came up with the idea of drawing a pleasant environment Fairies will love to visit and feel at home. "They don't call this fairyland for nothing".
this would have to be one of the hardest challenges that I have done so far - I tried to capture smoke images inside and outside, with lamp light and sunlight, with natural light and coloured light - here are the best (not at all that great) of my results (not counting the really bad failures)
