So I’ve been recycling tin cans and using them as containers for my art and writing supplies. Now in order to save more space on my new work area, I decided to hang them on my wall. Of course, I wanted each container to be completely detachable and portable; for instance, if I wanted to use only Micron pens in the living room, I can just remove that can and take it with me.
At first I was going to use magnets or one of those magnetic knife racks, but after prototyping with some heavy duty magnets lying around my apartment, I realized stuff like that couldn’t support the weight of, say, 20 Sharpies or the rounded surface area of the can.
Instead, I figured a system of hooks and loops would work.
Using small nuts and bolts, I attached D-Ring Strap Hangers (you know, the ones drilled in the back of wooden picture frames) to the cans. The D-Ring would latch onto a screw on the wall. In order to keep the cans balanced and not topple over if the weight shifted, I hammered two nails below each screw. Again, this keeps the can from shifting and its contents falling (a can full of X-acto blades would be the worst thing to fall on you).

The precision screwdrivers arrived today allowing me to open up my MacBook Pro. I'd read horror stories on the Internet about problems stripping the screw heads and screws that refused to budge.
I had none of that, all ten screws came out without any fuss.
Next step was to remove the existing 4Gb of RAM which was in two modules. It was a little fiddly to get to the bottom module out but once that was done the new RAM went in easy.
Now to the hard drive. With the plastic retaining bracket removed the drive came out nice and simple. Next up remove the four TORX screws from the old drive and pop them in the new then fit the new drive in the laptop.
Rather than screwing the back on straight away, I took the precaution of putting it in place, turning the laptop over and firing it up.
WOW, start up times are just incredible and the RAM checks out just fine. I really have breathed new life into my MaBook Pro. As a bonus, SSDs need less power so I should get more time from the battery which you will note cannot be replaced.
Last task was to replace those tiny screws being careful not to cross thread them.
Job done, tea drunk and time to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

Branches of the Vine
Young Catholics complete sacraments of initiation
By Andrew Junker | May 21, 2009 | The Catholic Sun
CAREFREE — They were lined up down the main aisle of Our Lady of Joy’s church in starched shirts, white dresses and uncomfortable dress shoes.
And they were nervous.
Well, “nervous and excited,” explained Jenna Mateo, one of the 40 or so third-graders who made their first Communion and were confirmed by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted May 10 at the north Valley parish.
Maci McMeel — who chose Christina as her confirmation name — agreed with Mateo.
“I was kind of nervous because there were a lot of people watching us,” she said. McMeel said she had thought a lot about what it would be like to receive the Eucharist, and that making her first Communion was very “exciting.”
Across the Diocese of Phoenix, confirmation and first Communion season is in full bloom. Hundreds of children are receiving the sacraments either from the hands of the bishop or one of his appointed vicars or deans.
Jill Pavolovsky prepared the young confirmandi at Our Lady of Joy. The sacrament preparation is worked into the regular religious education classes at the parish, which have been focused on preparing for confirmation and first Communion for about a year now.
“The restored order of the sacraments helps the children receive the Blessed Sacrament more worthily and gives them the graces to make better choices in their lives,” said Pavlovsky, who is known to her students simply as “Miss Jill.”
Linking confirmation to baptism as one of the sacraments of initiation, as well as teaching the children about Pentecost and the gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit “helps them understand how confirmation will help them live out, spread and defend the faith,” she said, “as a third-grader and hopefully beyond.”
In his homily, Bishop Olmsted told the children about their new responsibilities as fully initiated members of the Church and gave them advice on how to remain close to Christ.
The Gospel reading included Jesus telling His disciples, “I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in him will bear much fruit, because without Me you can do nothing.”
“These words of Jesus help us see why holy Communion and confirmation are such great blessings from God,” Bishop Olmsted said. “The sacraments help us stay in communion with Christ, and that’s the only way to have real joy.”

The staybolts protrude into the firebox. During soldering, the protruding material aids torch heating. When running, the protruding material aids heat transfer from the fire into the boiler.
The completed wreath in all it's glory. I made metal brackets and attached them to the metal frame on the wreath. The brackets allowed for the buttons to hover slightly above the wreath, and also allowed the player to easily push a button with one finger without the package sinking into the wreath.

Complete with some additional reliability mods fitted last year, DB Cargo's Class 60, 60074 works 6H03 09:07 Arpley Sidings to Tunstead Sidings to collect another trainload of limestone for the soda ash works at Lostock (near Northwich).
The signal on the approach to Acton Bridge station had just cleared to green, resulting in an impressive display of clag as the driver ramped up the power on the Brush beast.

In this photograph, I finally finished my head gasket replacement project I have cleaned the engine to try to remove spilled oil. A large amount of oil had spilled onto the exhaust manifold. I didn't want it to be a fire hazard.
Everything has been put back together. I ran a compression test on each cylinder before starting the engine for the first time. I put a squirt or two of motor oil in each cylinder, because the engine has been sitting a long time. I put motor oil on the chain, cam and valve area before I put the valve cover back on.
The engine started and I ran it until I knew the thermostat opened for the radiator coolant. This was done to remove any air in the system. Turns out there was a vapor lock that needed to be removed.
I flushed the coolant and put the antifreeze back in. I immediately changed the oil/filter. Old oil was slightly gray with water due to the mistake.
Compare this photograph, with this one and notice the hoses etc. that had to be removed, to get to the head gasket in the first place.
