Complete window, depicting Faith , Hope and Charity.
Based on a design by Sir Joshua Reynolds, given by the Saunders Family in 1830.
Apparently Mrs Sarah Siddons an actress was used as the model for Hope.
Kempe added the border and installed the window in its current position in 1896.

Finally finished. The bed spread is finally finished. I am not sure I love it because I have been working on it for the past month. It is monstrous compared to the afghans I normally work on.
Completed Winter Kitsuke
This is another one of the semi-traditional outfits appearing in the show. The ensemble was meant to display how one would wear kimono in the winter. It features multiple layers, a haori and a wool scarf. While the main components of the outfit are purely traditional, there are details that hint at western infuence; includig riding boots and a paisley pattern on the scarf.

Sling-style camera straps are all I use now, they're great. I also like the PacSafe camera strap for its slimness and low profile shoulder pad, so I combined them! Unfortunately, the strap may not be long enough for some people after this mod. I would've liked a few more inches but it's just about perfect as-is (fully extended).
For those who don't know, the PacSafe has steel cables running through the piping on each side of the webbing. No slash-and-grabs with this strap! I also like how the snaphook locks.
To do it, just remove the stitching at each tri-bar slide (see the "remove_stitcing" photo), disassemble everything, then with one end of the strap, reattach it to the middle bar of the tri-bar slide, as seen in the "sewn_side" picture. The part of the strap that goes over the middle bar wont have the steel running through it, the steel terminates just before the TBS. You can duplicate the hourglass stitching pattern or just use lines. For mine I went with three perpendicular lines of kevlar (yes, overkill :) ) thread.
After that, the other end of the strap goes under the TBS, over the middle bar, then down and out through the other side. You can play around with different configurations. Here, I have the TBS positioned above the shoulder pad.

Gran Canaria, Canary Islands (Friday, May 13, 2011) – Round Three was completed today leaving the final 16 surfers to battle it out for this year’s Asp 3-Star Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior title. Strong onshore winds abated offering clean 3ft (1m) peaks for some high performance displays of surfing by Europe’s best under-21 athletes at the main event site of La Cicer.
Surfers competing at the Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior, event nº3 of 7 on the Asp European Pro Junior Series, are out to claim the valuable ranking points on offer at this 3-Star rated event and place themselves in the race for the overall European Pro Junior title and the chance to compete in the Asp World Junior Series starting in Bali, Indonesia on October 3, 2011.
It was fellow countrymen Miguel Blanco (PRT) 15, and Joao Kopke (PRT) 15 who stole the show today with their heart-stopping performances in Round Three of competition. Both youngsters scraped through in second position in their respective heats with only moments to spare.
Blanco, who made the quarter-finals last week in Somo Pro Junior, fought back after receiving an interference call earlier in the heat. Sitting in 4th position and needing a solid score, Blanco performed two backhand smashes on a critical left peak to secure a 5.90 out of 10 with under one minute remaining on the clock.
“I am really excited at the moment. I had an interference and I was needing a high 5 and I got a 5.90 on my last wave so I am really happy right now. My coach said that if you have a bad moment not to give up and just start from the beginning and it went well today for me.”
Joao Kopke (Estoril, PRT) 15, held off an inform Ander Mendiguren (Sopelana, EUK) 18, to advance behind fellow countryman Vasco Ribeiro (PRT). Kopke got off to a solid start and held his position for the majority of the encounter before Mendiguren got going and jumped into second place. In the final moments Kopke played his last card on a long right which Ribeiro could have taken. A combination of snaps locked in the modest score required to return to the second place.
“It was a tight heat for sure. I was sitting in second when Ander (Mendiguren) got a wave that put him ahead of me. In the end Vasco (Ribeiro) helped me to catch that right and I got in two turns and made it through so I’m stoked.”
Kopke, who suffers from tremendous nerve attacks before each heat, kept his cool during the entire clash and has started to work on his approach to competition to help overcome his major handicap.
“This is my best result so far actually. I have never got a big result surfing in the Pro Juniors because I always get so nervous but now I am realising that my surfing is not good when I am like that. I am still learning. I am not thinking too much about results and just concentrating on my surfing because that is the way to go. If I focus too much on the results I know I am not going to pass any heats.”
Top seed Ramzi Boukhiam (MAR) 17, easily advanced ahead of Jose Ferreira (PRT) 19, with both surfers finding the higher scoring potential waves both lefts and rights. Boukhiam who currently sits in 4th position on the Asp European Pro Junior rankings must continue his excellent form into the business end of competition if he is to remain in the hunt for the 2011 European Junior title.
“The conditions today are better today because there is no wind but it is still super slow and hard to surf so you have to get the big ones. I went out looking for the lefts and my trainer told me to wait for the set waves and that is what I did. With just two big turns you can get a score and on the smaller waves you might do 4 or 5 soft turns and get a 3.”
Pablo Pola (Hendaye, FRA) 19, advanced with one of his best performances of the year showing strength on his forehand and backhand. With a 6.33 to open his account Pola built on his backup score during the remainder of the heat to finish with a two-wave heat total of 11.23 out of 20 and a pass into Round Four.
“The waves are so difficult because there is not a lot of power so it is hard but if you find a good one it is easy to win your heat. I made my heat and I didn’t really worry too much. I am here to have fun and it is better if you surf to have fun instead of being so focussed for me. I had a big breakfast and it is better because it makes me stronger for my heat.”
Medi Veminardi (Saint-Leu, REU) 19, built on a slow start to capture two solid scores displaying his talents in the changing conditions. Power and speed were the trademarks of another professional performance by Veminardi as he goes one step closer to taking out the Islas Canarias Santa Pro Junior 2011.
“I didn’t get any waves at the start and Pablo (Pola) had the only wave of the heat. I didn’t stress and stuck to my game plan and it worked. I was definitely looking for rights and usually I score well on them but the lefts seemed to break a bit more often. I had a 6 on the left and a 6 on the right so I won’t change anything.”
Francisco Alves (PRT) 17, built on his scores during the entire heat to finish behind event favourite Dimitri Ouvre (BRB) who put in another dominating performance. Alves struggled to find a decent scoring ride and had to change tactics late in the clash to advance.
“At the beginning of the heats I never take good waves always at the final moments. I spend too much time waiting for waves and I need to start work on my heat earlier. I didn’t stress too much in the final moments and I got second so it is worth it.”
“I got to the Quarters in Reunion which was also a 3 Star so it would be nice to make the Quarters again or maybe even further,” continued Alves. “It is really tough but I will try my best and not wait for the bomb next time. I will just try and work my heat and we will see how it goes next time.”

Originally this was just the walker part of the build, then I added a landing pad when I found out how strong it was after strength testing it, then I decided why not add two more. I might make a rebel AT-MCC later down the line, but for now, at least, I’m done with this build

Task Completed, you can see the adjusting nut on the end of the anchor pin has been fitted, this squeezes the new top hat bush we had custom machined up against the side of the road springs and stops any lateral movement. The pipe going into the anchor pin is the auto lube which will keep the pin and bush inside fed with oil to limit wear. Graham will now descend on the whole area and touch up the paintwork.
