I started this 3 years ago for the Kona challenge when I was a member of the Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild. I used two charm packs and part of a jelly roll.
Time for a new challenge. I'm getting tired of the 3x3 cube. I've gotten my time down to 1min 29sec and I just don't feel like I'm going to be able to get much faster than that. I've been stuck at 1:29 for 8 months now. So now it's onto the 4x4...aka Rubik's Revenge. Look forward to this challenge. None of the moves for the 3x3 apply...so it should be fun. According to the packaging, its not any harder than the 3x3 cube. I have a hard time beleiving that but I guess I'll see.
On a side, note, I've officially given up the 52 Weeks project. While I've back to taking pictures again, I'm just not feeling it with this project. I'll still do SPs here and there, but it won't be for a project. It will be on my own terms. :)
Updated: Was able to solve it after playing with it for a day or two. Video
Card made for new challenge at ABNH to use layer/dimension on your card. I have used embossing paste and glitter on HA's numbers stencil and vellum over the tag for added layers! Also playing along with Virginia's View Challenge and Sketch 2 of Hero Art's Sketch Challenge. On my blog at funkyfossildesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/a-blog-named-he...
Members of the class of 1969 joined cadets in a leadership challenge.
Developed at West Point the Leadership Challenge method of developing leaders is part of a profession-wide effort to improve learning and leader development - to make them more context-based, collaborative, and problem centered.
Each leadership challenge session engages participants in a difficult leadership decision as described by the officer who actually experienced it.

The W196 was Mercedes-Benz's entry for the Formula One World Championship for 1954-55. The model shown here, denoted W196R, and sub-titled 'Monza', refers to the unusual, closed-wheel bodywork fitted to the cars for use at high speed circuits, such as the Monza track.
The W196R was fitted with a 2.5-litre straight-eight engine. At the W196's first race, at the French GP in 1954, the engine produces 192 kW (257 hp). During the two seasons, the engine was developed to produce 220 kW (290 hp).
The W196 raced very successfully, securing 9 wins from 12 starts over the two seasons. The drivers were Juan Manuel Fangio, and Stirling Moss. Mercedes-Benz secured the Manufacturer's Championship in both years. Mercedes-Benz won all but one race for 1955, the championship was shortened due to the horrific accident at Le Mans involving a Mercedes-Benz 300SLR (itself, derived from the W196), used in the Sportscar Manufacturers Championship. Mercedes-Benz then withdrew from involvement in Sportscars and Formula One for more than thirty years.
This Lego model W196R has been modeled in miniland scale for Flickr LUGNuts 68th Build challenge - 'A Baker's Dozen', to the sub-theme, 'Any racer, made before 1956'.

There was certainly a huge amount of sexy people at Bondi Beach this day.
Apr. 7, 2012 sports The Ultra Fitness Challenge hosted by Warrior Country Sports was held at Camp Casey's Carey Fitness Center April 7. The two competitors - Charles Smith, Company B, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment and Carlos Simpson, B, 302nd Brigade Support Battalion - completed several mini-events: 7-kilometer bicycle ride, tire flips, a 35-pound rucksack carry to the obstacle course at Camp Hovey where they did 100 Army Physical Training-standard pushups, a rucksack run to Schoonover Bowl at Camp Casey where they had to run to the top of the bleachers and back, and then a race across the footbridge to the finish line at Carey Fitness Center. Simpson used a sizeable lead in the bicycle race to finish 6 minutes ahead of Smith - U.S. Army photo by Kevin Jackson
"William Foster, AKA D-FENS, is an unemployed, divorced engineer in the defense industry who's reached his boiling point. First he finds himself in gridlock, which he deals with by abandoning his car. He subsequently happens across an unhelpful convenience store clerk whose prices D-FENS 'rolls back', by demolishing the store with a baseball bat after overpowering the clerk. Soon he finds himself in gangland, and deals with some tough-looking gang members by attacking them and running them off. When the gang members try to retaliate, it fails when they crash their car and D-FENS takes their bag full of guns. Unfortunately for him, a retiring cop is on his trail, and soon things will come to blows as D-FENS heads towards Venice for his young daughter's birthday party...."

Chevrolet Chevette:
The Chevrolet Chevette is a front-engine/rear drive subcompact manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for model years 1976-1987 in three-door and five-door hatchback body styles. Introduced in September 1975, the Chevette superseded the Vega as Chevrolet's entry-level subcompact and sold 2.8 million units over twelve model years. and joined the Vega's reworked model called the Chevrolet Monza. The Chevette was the best-selling small car in the U.S. for model years 1979 and 1980.
The Chevette was one of GM's T-cars, those employing General Motors' global T platform. GM manufactured and marketed more than 7 million[1] rebadged variants on the T platform worldwide, including the Pontiac Acadian in Canada, Pontiac T1000/1000 in the United States (1981-1987), K-180 in Argentina, Vauxhall Chevette, Opel Kadett, Isuzu Gemini, Holden Gemini and, as a coupe utility (pickup), the Chevy 500. A T-car variant remained in production in South America through 1998.
Development
Under the direction of chief engineer John Mowrey Chevrolet began developing the Chevette on December 24, 1973 in response to the 1973 Oil Crisis and GM's Energy Task Force, arising out of the crisis and the resultant shift in consumer demand to smaller, foreign vehicles boasting greater fuel-efficiency.
The Chevette used its basis GM's World Car, "Project 909" — what would become the T-car program, so named because the vehicles would share GM's T platform. With the well-known problems of its predecessor, the Vega — which included production issues, reliability problems and a serious propensity for corrosion — the team reworked the international platform such that the Chevette shared not a single body panel with another T-car and reworked the underbody extensively to enhance corrosion protection. Ironically, the Chevette's 1.4 liter base iron block engine, weighed 59 lbs less than the Vega's much heralded aluminum block engine.
The Chevette was officially launched on September 16, 1975, in Washington D.C. just after new legislation mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. With initial projected sales of 275,000 sales its first year, numbers were cut in half as the price of oil stabilized. The Chevette would ultimately reach 2,793,353 sales for its entire production across 12 model years 1976-1988. and global T-car sales would surpass 7 million. The last Chevette was manufactured on December 23, 1986, at Lakewood Assembly — following the end of production at Wilmington Assembly in September, 1985. The last Chevette manufactured was a light blue 2-door hatchback shipped to a Chevrolet dealer in Springdale, Ohio.
1978:
In 1978, models had a revised grille with a grid design, grille and headlight frames chromed for standard models, a four-door hatchback riding a 97.3 inches (2,470 mm) wheelbase was added — two inches longer than the two-door — and this version accounted for more than half of Chevette's nearly 300,000 sales. The 1.4 L engine and Woody were dropped. Fuel door added. TH-180 Automatic Transmission added to replace THM-200 series automatic. "HO" High Output version available in addition to the standard 1.6 L featuring a modified head and larger valves/cam profile. "HO" package also includes dual outlet exhaust manifold. Prices dropped and more standard equipment was added for 1978.

This miniland-scale Lego Chevrolet 1978 Chevette 5-Door Hatchback (from the film 'Falling Down' - 1993) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 91st Build Challenge, - "Anger Management", - all about cars with some link to being angry.
It may have taken a few weeks for them to appear in my neck of the woods but when the 99p Majorette Premiums hit it was in a big way! Im lucky enough to live quite near to a superstore sized Home Bargains and the stock they held would have made the Majorette warehouse blush. A full aisle end bursting at the seams and regularly restocked too, absolute diecast heaven!
I will admit I wasn't sensible in my purchases, I grabbed several of pretty much all the castings on offer because at that price we will probably never see the like again. Sooooooo much quality and accuracy for less than a HTI generic with models like this Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat offering opening features, plenty of detailing and new set of tyres too.
Mint and boxed.
This morning (Tues 9 Sept) officers from the Op Challenger team in Bury conducted four drug and search warrants in Radcliffe, targeting addresses on Ainsworth Road, Greenbank Road, Exeter Avenue and Lever Street.
These warrants are intelligence led in relation to a covert drug operation that officers have been investigating for the past eight months.
So far, a number of phones, drugs, cash and other assets have been recovered and four people have arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply class A drugs and money laundering.
