I'm back! It's only been, what, four months? Well, I guess I've been busy, and I had a bit of a mini-dark age. But, I didn't stop building too much. I got caught up with school and life (I know, lame, right?) But, It's summer now, so I should be back up and running again. I've had some stuff sitting around for a while that I'll upload in the next few days.
First off is something I've been meaning to build for quite a while. Dr. Who, based on the two part episodes Silence in the Library and Forest of the Dead.

THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE GALLIPOLI CAMPAIGN AND ANZAC DAY AT THE CENOTAPH, WHITEHALL, LONDON
HOSTED BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OF GREAT BRITAIN AND NORTHERN IRELAND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE HIGH COMMISSIONS OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND IN LONDON
On 25 April 1915 Allied soldiers landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey in one of the most ambitious amphibious assaults in history.
More than 550,000 soldiers from Britain, Ireland, France, Australia, New Zealand, the Indian sub-continent, Canada and Sri Lanka waged this historic campaign, including 400,000 from Britain alone. 58,000 Allied servicemen and 87,000 from Turkey died in this campaign.
ANZAC Day was established by Australia and New Zealand as an annual day of commemoration to remember their servicemen who died in Gallipoli. The first ANZAC Day march in London took place on 25 April 1916. ANZAC Day has been commemorated in London on 25 April every year since then.

THE PRAYERS
Prayer by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
God our Father, we come together today to honour all those who gave themselves with great courage in service and sacrifice for their country in the Gallipoli Campaign. We pray that their example may continue to inspire us to strive for the common good, that we may build up the harmony and freedom for which they fought and died.
Help us O Lord, to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and strengthen our resolve to work for peace and justice, and for the relief of want and suffering. As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and forever. Amen.
Hymn led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
I Vow To Thee My Country
All:
I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.
I heard my country calling, away across the sea,
Across the waste of waters, she calls and calls to me.
Her sword is girded at her side, her helmet on her head,
And around her feet are lying the dying and the dead;
I hear the noise of battle, the thunder of her guns;
I haste to thee, my mother, a son among thy sons.
And there’s another country, I’ve heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.
Prayer read by Grace van Gageldonk (14 years old) from Australia
God of compassion and mercy, we remember with thanksgiving and sorrow, those whose lives in world wars and conflicts past and present, have been
given and taken away.
Enfold in your love, all who in bereavement, disability and pain, continue to suffer the consequences of fighting and terror; and guide and protect all those who support and sustain them. Amen.
National anthem Advance Australia Fair
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
Australians all let us rejoice,
For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea;
Our land abounds in nature’s gifts
Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
‘Advance Australia Fair’.
Prayer read by Kathryn Cooper (11 years old) from New Zealand
God of hope, the source of peace and the refuge of all in distress, we remember those you have gathered from the storm of war into the everlasting peace of your presence; may that same peace calm our fears, bring reconciliation and justice to all peoples, and establish lasting harmony among the nations.
We pray for all members of the armed forces who strive for peace and fight for justice today; bless and keep their families and friends at home awaiting their return. Help us, who today remember the cost of war, to work for a better tomorrow, and bring us all, in the end, to the peace of your presence; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Reading Atatürk’s message to bereaved pilgrims, 1934, read by Ecenur Bilgiç (14 years old) from Turkey
Those heroes that shed their blood and lost their lives…
You are now lying in the soil of a friendly country. Therefore rest in peace.
There is no difference between the Johnnies and the Mehmets to us where they lie side by side here in this country of ours…
You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries, wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well.
National anthem İstiklal Marşı (The Independence March)
Led by Burak Gülşen from Turkey, accompanied by the Massed Bands
Korkma, sönmez bu şafaklarda yüzen al sancak;
Sönmeden yurdumun üstünde tüten en son ocak.
O benim milletimin yıldızıdır, parlayacak;
O benimdir, o benim milletimindir ancak.
Çatma, kurban olayım, çehreni ey nazlı hilal!
Kahraman ırkıma bir gül! Ne bu şiddet, bu celal?
Sana olmaz dökülen kanlarımız sonra helal…
Hakkıdır, Hakk’a tapan, milletimin istiklal!
Fear not! For the crimson flag that flies at this dawn, shall not fade,
As long as the last fiery hearth that is ablaze in my country endures.
For that is the star of my nation, which will forever shine;
It is mine; and solely that of my valiant nation.
Frown not, I beseech you, oh thou coy crescent!
Come smile upon my heroic race! Why this rage, this fury?
The blood we shed for you shall not be blessed otherwise;
For independence is the absolute right of my God-worshipping nation.

The Attack at Dawn (May, 1915) by Leon Maxwell Gellert (1892–1977)
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
They told us in the early afternoon.
We sit and wait the coming of the sun
We sit in groups, — grey groups that watch the moon.
We stretch our legs and murmur half in sleep
And touch the tips of bayonets and yarn.
Our hands are cold. They strangely grope and creep,
Tugging at ends of straps. We wait the dawn!
Some men come stumbling past in single file.
And scrape the trench’s side and scatter sand.
They trip and curse and go. Perhaps we smile.
We wait the dawn! … The dawn is close at hand!
A gentle rustling runs along the line.
‘At every cost,’ they said, ‘it must be done.’
A hundred eyes are staring for the sign.
It’s coming! Look! … Our God’s own laughing sun!
Closing prayers by The Venerable Ian Wheatley QHC, Royal Navy Chaplain of the Fleet
Eternal God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed;
Kindle, we pray, in the hearts of all, the true love of peace
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the world,
that in tranquillity your kingdom may go forward,
and all people may spend their days in security, freedom and peace;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Merciful God
we offer to you the fears in us
that have not yet been cast out by love:
may we accept the hope you have
placed in the hearts of all people,
and live lives of justice, courage and mercy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come, thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give is this day our daily bread.
And forgive is our trespasses,
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those that trespass against us.
And lead is not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
fro ver and ever. Amen.
The Blessing
God grant to the living grace, to the departed rest,
to the Church, the Queen, the Commonwealth and all people,
unity, peace and concord,
and to us and all God’s servants, life everlasting;
and the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always. Amen.
National anthem God Save the Queen
Led by the Choirs of Chelmsford Cathedral and accompanied by the Massed Bands
God save our gracious Queen,
Long live our noble Queen.
God save the Queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us;
God save the Queen!

Simple, captured image showing microscopic asbestos fibers and other ambient particles under 400x magnification using Phase-Contrast Microscopy (PCM) optical illumination method.
Although certain technical fiber-counting rules prohibit identification of specific fiber types using the PCM technique, this example depicts a reference slide with a known type of fiber; in this case, chrysotile asbestos fibers. Note characteristic splitting, wavy/flexible lines, narrow width, and splayed ends of the fibers (fiber bundles).
The visible "fibers" in the image are actually bundles of yet further bundles of "fibers". One of the more distinguishing features of asbestos is its incredible ability to subdivide into increasingly smaller and thinner fibers (far beyond the resolution of this microscopy method); until the fiber reaches its ultimate particle size: the theoretical, individual unit fibril (on the order of angstroms and nanometers). The minute size is also why asbestos can infiltrate into microscopic and cellular-level areas of lungs and other bodily systems.
Among other scientific applications, PCM is a fairly common, standard analytical technique utilized for testing air monitoring samples for airborne fiber concentrations pertaining to asbestos-related work, such as projects related to: abatement, repair, clean-up, worker exposure, ambient background, etc. Further, PCM equipment is relatively inexpensive, portable, and sturdy enough that it can be setup andcalibrated directly on many project sites, a particularly convenient advantage. This testing method is currently so routine, that if one is familiar with an asbestos abatement work project that has occurred or will occur, it's quite likely that PCM air monitoring is involved.
However, while used as an acceptable standard method for determining worker exposure levels to airborne fiber concentrations and for "clearance" of post-abatement work areas, there are a number of significant issues regarding over-reliance of PCM for airborne asbestos detection.
One main cause for concern are serious limitations of PCM's optical resolution. Unknown quantities of asbestos fibers may not be discernible using PCM, but are easily detected using more advanced and asbestos-specific imaging techniques such as transmission-electron microscopy (TEM). PCM may be considered as a "screening" method and possibly inadequate for truly accurate analyses of airborne asbestos fiber concentrations; another debate that typically boils down to Health vs. Cost.
Also depicted, partially shown, is a standardized Walton-Beckett graticule with incremental graduated x-y axes measured in micrometer units; diameter is approx. 100-µm across. Encircling the graticule area are measured scale markers in 3:1 length-to-width aspect ratio for visual reference. The green color is from a green-tinted light interference filter.

In order to get all of the brass to look the same the bathtubs are filled with a TOP SECRET acid solution that will clean and finish the top layer of metal. After the prescribed bathing time has elapsed the models will be removed from the acid bath, rinsed, and dried. Each will be beautiful.
I say "top secret" because each builder and each importer really had their own way of finishing off the brass models before clear coating was applied. Some builders actually electroplated their models to changed the brass color to be more bronze than brass. Others made their products a very bright brass color. Some looked more like gold than brass. The whole idea of this final bath is to remove all of the fingerprints, oil, grime, and excess solder that makes each model look, well, hand made. After the acid-bath and electroplating each model looks as if it was created with a magic wand; not at the hands of factory workers.
All of that magic happens right here and this fellow is very busy on most days inside of the factory. He wears a mask and heavy rubber gloves and boots for good reason. This magic solution is caustic and must be handled with care. This is one of the messiest jobs in the factory and it has to be done with proper care and plenty of ventilation to make certain that the models come out looking fantastic and so that the on-duty staff gets to go home safely each night.
Those two things are VERY important.

I saw more than I had before, and
more then I see now, in my present
state. My fallen state. But I'm getting
ahead of my story, if that's what it is.
My fallen state, if that's what it is. My
dark night of the soul, if that's what it
is. My long night's waiting, if that's
what it is. I saw a lot more then, on
those nights of sleeping, not sleeping
under bridges, sleeping, not sleeping on
benches, under trees, in a barn or on
church step than I'm seeing now. No
matter. I continue to watch.
I continue to watch, and that's what
counts. What counts, if anything does.
Something does, but the question I
more often ask myself is who counts it?
Do I? I do. But does anyone else? Does
anyone else in the universe count what
happens? Does anyone else in the
universe know what matters? Does
anyone care, I mean, personally care?
Ah, well, why get into that, as long as
I do.
And I do. Seem to. Seem to want to
know what's going on. From moment to
moment. Why it's going on. What
counts, from moment to moment. I want
to know. Seem to. Seem to want to
know. Seem to want to know what it's
all, or even, what any small part of it's
about.

I have been busy lately with a huge project I've taken upon myself, namely doing my mother's side of the family genealogical tree. I've traced back my ancestors to 1880s, not any further than that. It's such a fascinating and exciting job to do ! I've been spending every day hours and hours doing detective job trying to figure out who is who and where he/she belongs in the long line of the generations. I feel like Sherlock Holmes, haha ;-)

My Aunt made this pillow years ago. The fabric used on the back was an article of clothing worn by my Granny. She passed away many, many, many years ago. I was about 13 or so. There are many things I remember about Granny, but the one thing that sticks out the most would be her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She would mix the peanut butter and the jelly together in a bowl and then spread that mixture onto the bread. As kids, we were fascinated. How ingenious! I keep this pillow on my bed as a reminder of loved ones no longer with us and as a reminder to appreciate the ones who are still around.

New Ability Counts Incorporated Moreno Valley office Facility Opens by January 2014!
Ability Counts Inc., New Moreno Valley a based non-profit organization which finds work for people who are developmentally challenged, opened a hanger recycling facility in January 6th, 2014.
Ability Counts finds appropriate jobs for people with developmentally disabilities, who are capable of working. Thousands of hangers are shipped to the facility from companies such as Kohl's regional distribution center at the new Southern California Logistics Airport Business Center serves more than 50 Kohl's Stores in Southern California, all of which will give their hangers to the center, according to Ability Counts in Moreno Valley.
The new Moreno Valley facility is on Alessandro Boulevard. in Moreno Valley, California but has a mailing address.
Ability Counts will recycle more than 20 million hangers a year for second time use. Hangers are sorted by condition and broken hangers and metal clips are recycled, according to the organization.
"Our operation is really two-fold," said Job Developer and Spokesman. "At all of our locations we have what we call our shop. The shop is we train all our clients and assess their functional level as they work to sort and clean hangers from large retail chains." an Instructor for Ability Counts, Joy Chatys said that the Ability Counts Moreno Valley workshop site receives two trucks a week full of hangers.
"We sort all of the different hangers and clean them so that they can be recycled,"she Joy Chatys said. Joy said that sometimes there are as many as 32 types of hangers and that each client can process "five to 100 boxes a day, depending on their Ability."
Who works as a Case Manager is Joy Chatys and Supervises the new Moreno Valley facility. Described the second aspect of Ability Counts Incorporated in Moreno Valley.
"Once our clients have demonstrated their level of ability and seem ready to move on, we work with businesses in the community to find appropriate jobs for them. We currently have five enclaves in the local area where our clients do various things like landscaping or making tortillas.
Duvall and Ability Counts gets referrals from local organizations such as the Inland Regional Center.
"Once they are referred, we interview them and assess their skills. After that, they can begin working as soon as they want. Said that the clients are "well protected." We're basically under the gun here. We have alot of different commissions watching us to make sure that we treat these people well and we pride ourselves on how much the clients enjoy their work."
Not only does Ability Counts find people and jobs, it also coordinates rides for clients, sometimes bringing workers "It's door-to-door service for the R.T.A. bus route 20 the bus runs of every 30 minutes of the bus schedule the bus arrives at 7:45am in the morning about 15 minutes early and getting off after work at 3:30pm to catching at 3:50pm bus to taking a public city bus home. And it doesn't stop there.
"We try to prepare them for everything possible, we try organize social events for the clients as often as possible. At least once a month, we have dances at our new Moreno Valley facility, which are open to all people with developmental disabilities. We make sure they are well chaperoned and that they are as safe as possible, while still being able to socialize and have a good time. We've even had a couple romances." Joy Chatys said the company also provides transportation for clients to attend other disability-oriented events such as the Riverside ARC Bowling League is located at 7100 Arlington Ave. in Riverside to the Arlington Lanes Bowling Alley to please call Allison Weis at (951) 247-9046 for every Tuesday Afternoons at 3 pm to 5 pm in September through May to cost will be $6.50 per week/bowling fee and Handicapable Square Dance Club is located at 8138 Mar Vista Ct. in Riverside to the The ARC of Riverside County to please call Brandy at (951) 547-1227 for every Thursday Evenings at 6 pm to 8 pm in September thru May to cost will be FREE.
It just makes you feel good to work here, Joy said. "Even though everyday is an adventure and we run into some issues, their love is undisputed, It's great to see them able to advance and to see how dedicated they are to their jobs."
"The hardest part of the job is actually finding companies who are receptive to us, "Joy Chatys" said. Many companies out there hold prejudices against our clients, but some companies like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Toys R Us and Big 5 Sporting Goods realize that our clients are typically more dedicated then normal functioning people.
We could really learn a thing of two from them, Joy Chatys said. Clients like to work at Ability Counts because it's door-to-door and they don't have to take a bus home.
Client is a secretary at the office.
I used to work in ACI, because but i like it better here because it's closer to home, Joy said.
We just want to raise awareness about our program, Joy said. There are hardworking individuals with disabilities who need employment.
Joy said that his goal for the next 12 months is to continue to provide employment. We hope to be able to employ 30 to 40 people just in our shop alone.

These may seem a little odd, but yesterday morning turned out to be very, very interesting for me.
I was just working on my comic at my computer, hearing the local bus (#80) that runs past the front door of my house coming up the hill, when all of a sudden there was the most outrageous bang followed by the bus stuttering for power, it then limped to a halt outside my front drive in a fog of acrid black smoke, whereupon the driver immediately opened the engine bay door and started dousing the street with sand from what had apparently been a fuel leak.
Passengers were unloaded, and Country Bus sent up another two buses to cover. Eventually their engineers arrived in their company coloured LDV Convoy, as did a local hero of the roads, the Count of Heathfield, a gigantic tow truck used to rescue HGV's and Coaches.
The bus is a 2004 Dennis Dart SLF with SC Coachbuilders body, and is a regular on this route. I overhead one of the engineers mentioning something to do with the 'Big End', which is part of the Connecting Rod, and connects to the bearing journal on the crank throw.
