These chairs weren't part of an exhibit; they were scattered all over the courtyard and are actual seating. Every chair has a designer behind it, though. Even when everyone's too distracted by the gigantic steel Serra sculpture in front of them to notice.
Since they're just, y'know, seating, these weren't labelled or any such thing, but I believe that they are Bertoia side chairs, by Harry Bertoia, designed in 1952. The chairs are made of welded steel rods and have a powder-coat finish.
If they are not Bertoias, they are very good imitations of them. However, since this is MoMA, I'm inclined to believe that they're the real deal.
Here it is. After 3 failed tries to make functional leg armor, I had to settle with just a model. I don't have part to make it functional and solid at the same time or I don't posses the knowledge to make it with parts I have :D
General look and details are same as the ARM part of the suit. I added trusters to the bottom but I am having trouble making them work :(
170636 passes the bland Portakabin style Stonea signal box on 3rd October 2024 with 1N53 1200 Cambridge to Birmingham New Street.
The original 1883 box was behind where the train is, and was demolished in 1984 - replaced by the monstrosity on the left.
Pole shot.
A fully functional Launch Abort System (LAS) with a test version of Orion attached, soars upward on NASA’s Ascent Abort-2 (AA-2) flight test atop a Northrop Grumman provided booster on July 2, 2019, after launching at 7 a.m. EDT, from Launch Pad 46 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. During AA-2, the booster will send the LAS and Orion to an altitude of 31,000 feet, traveling at Mach 1.15 (more than 1,000 mph). The LAS’ three motors will work together to pull the crew module away from the booster and prepare it for splashdown in the Atlantic Ocean. The flight test will prove that the abort system can pull crew to safety in the unlikely event of an emergency during ascent. Photo credit: NASA/Kim Shiflett
This gargoyle outside a shop in Upper Slaughter (you get some great names in the Cotswolds) caught my eye.
From Wikipedia : "In architecture, a gargoyle is a carved stone grotesque with a spout designed to convey water from a roof and away from the side of a building. Preventing rainwater from running down masonry walls is important because running water erodes the mortar between the stone blocks. Architects often used multiple gargoyles on buildings to divide the flow of rainwater off the roof to minimize the potential damage from a rainstorm. A trough is cut in the back of the gargoyle and rainwater typically exits through the open mouth. Gargoyles are usually an elongated fantastic animal because the length of the gargoyle determines how far water is thrown from the wall. When Gothic flying buttresses were used, aqueducts were sometimes cut into the buttress to divert water over the aisle walls.
The term originates from the French gargouille, originally "throat" or "gullet"; cf. Latin gurgulio, gula, gargula ("gullet" or "throat") and similar words derived from the root gar, "to swallow", which represented the gurgling sound of water (e.g., Spanish garganta, "throat"; Spanish gárgola, "gargoyle"). It is also connected to the French verb gargariser, which means "to gargle." The Italian word for gargoyle is grónda sporgente, an architecturally precise phrase which means "protuding gutter." The German word for gargoyle is Wasserspeier, which means "water spitter." The Dutch word for gargoyle is waterspuwer, which means "water spitter" or "water vomiter." A building that has gargoyles on it is "gargoyled."
A grotesque figure is a sculpture that does not work as a waterspout and serves only an ornamental or artistic function. These are also usually called gargoyles in layman's terminology, although the field of architecture usually preserves the distinction between gargoyles (functional waterspouts) and non-waterspout grotesques.
Gargoyles are said to scare off and protect from any evil or harmful spirits.

The design and modular functionality of this set is unparalleled. The two cockpits detached from the center leaving a base behind. The top two sections also detached and could be reattached to the cockpits creating two ships with a little finagling of the tires. There was so much that you could do with this set. I toyed around (pun intended) with doing a whole Febrovery month based on this single set….but I figured I would wait for a 28 day Febrovery for that. This set is a perfect companion to the Alien Moon Stalker released the following year. I love the color scheme on both of them.

With a simple pull of the lever, these decorative figures can open and close their jaws like authentic nutcrackers!
Both of these models were built in the recent weeks leading up to Christmas. The design was pretty straightforward, but two major issues were making the faces look good, and finally getting the hats right. In fact, the green nutcracker's crown took the longest to figure out, and was finally made with hinge plates.
As mentioned in the tutorial, although these can in fact function as real nutcrackers, they're somewhat rickety and best suited for holiday decorations.
This is from mid summer (I finished the car 2 days before I left for college). It gives you an idea of what can be done in 1.5 months when you're really committed to something.
those are peices of ceiling flying everywhere, the bar was closed down and everyone was cleared out shortly afterwards.
here's why as told by the FB's drummer Brian Costello
Mutiny shmutiny.
After already having 4 bands on the bill last night, they added a (no joke) SHITTY euro-trash band taking part in some horsecrap "reality" show on MTV Europe where 2 bands travel across America without (in the words of one of the Eurotrash bandmembers telling me) "any money except what they give us at first...no cel phones [oh! the agony!]...and no gas...and no women (ha ha)..."
In the middle of all this, we had our friends KK Ramage play a 10 minute set on equipment already set up. This made Ed nervous (will the Eurotrash band get to play? will the Mutiny be shown on MTV Europe?). Technically (technically) this made 6 bands, but not really.
As we were about to play, Ed gave us an ultimatum: either the Eurotrash band plays right now, or the show is over.
This is after years of supporting this dumpy ass bar, both as a patron and as a member of the Functional Blackouts, and never getting paid cash money while the bar makes a KILLING.
I always knew Ed was more of a "business man" about the whole thing, but even that was idiotic, when 40 people walk out in the middle of the Eurotrash band's set because they sound like 8 kajillion other commercial bands and go home instead of spending their money and being entertained by what they paid no admission to see.
This move clearly shows the Mutiny doesn't give a damn when all's said and done about local music, and they can't distinguish between decent local bands and lame commercial shit from Holland.
I'm sober by the way, and slept on this before posting this, and I'm still amazed at how ridiculous it is, and, in the big picture, how totally corny and uptight 99% of Chicago's "music venues" are in the face of so much diverse and exciting music happening right now. Why is the Empty Bottle the only club consistently supporting EVERYTHING happening in this city?
So...I have no intention of going to the Mutiny ever again, and I would ask all bands to find other places to play. I know it's tough, believe me, but find a place that pays you in more than beer. I used to be one of the Mutiny's biggest supporters, but not anymore.
Knitted with the wool that doesn't felt very good so it's partly felted. It's very coarse and strong. I first hand-dyed the wool and then knitted tha bag. At the end I added the lining and crocheted 2 flowers and added them as embellishment. The closure is a button covered with red felt.
The EOS M3 is a great camera for existing Canon enthusiasts and casual videographers alike. The autofocus performance continues to impress.
I know running shoes are not designed to be pretty, but I thing I just bought to most ugly pair available! Are your shoes even worse? Prove me, I don't believe a thing about it :)
This is my latest model, which happens to be based off set 3829, Fire Nation Ship from a decade ago. (2006) The model has been elongated to 97 studs long, while being made to be 25 bricks in height and 14 studs in width.
The ship now has three turrets with three barrels each that can elevate up and down or rotate left to right.
The vessel features modular functionality with regards to the bridge deck and it's roof with attached smokestack. The lower section is the war room with tables, while the upper floor is the bridge with wheel and nautical telegraph.
The ship belongs to High Lord Vladimir Ogel, but is being loaned, along with a considerable land force, to Sam Sinister and his allies to find treasures throughout the globe.

[ENG] The railway station of Toledo, of neomudejar style, it was inaugurated in April, 1919 substituting the projected one for the Company of the Railroad of Castillejo to Toledo in a totally functional style. The current building is very atypical in the Spanish railway constructions and there was constructed under orders of the architect of MZA Narcissus Claveria, that was a great impeller of the Mudejar renaissance in Spain. It is composed by a travelers' building that has a marquee of iron attached supported with thin columns, and it is formed by a central pavilion of an alone plant with two leaned ones that continue the style of the front. In the left wing of the station a curious tower of clock stands out in the same style, very slightly habitual on stations. The train station waiting area is of great extent and an alone plant, and they emphasize the ticket office with the wrought spectacular one and very showy, the low coating of the walls of mosaics of blue rollers acts of the ceramist Ángel Pedraza, numerous adornments of forge (lamps, cartels, rails etc.) realized by the main blacksmith Julio Pascual, and a splendid ceiling wood panelling with very typical forms. All the ornaments and interior forms of the station were realized by teachers toledanos that impregnated his handcrafted style concordant with the existing ones in the zone.

En el extremo izquierdo de la estación sobresale una curiosa torre de reloj en el mismo estilo, muy poco habitual en estaciones. El vestíbulo es de gran amplitud y una sola planta, y destacan la taquilla con un forjado espectacular y muy llamativo, el revestimiento inferior de las paredes de mosaicos de azulejos obra del ceramista toledano Ángel Pedraza, numerosos adornos de forja (lámparas, carteles, barandillas etc.) realizados por el maestro forjador Julio Pascual, y un espléndido techo artesonado con formas muy características. Todos los ornamentos y formas interiores de la estación fueron realizados por maestros toledanos que impregnaron su estilo artesanal concordante con los existentes en la zona.

New York's subway system is vast, complex, functional and efficient. It can also be bewildering, fascinating, and scary to some.
The German Parliament’s Jakob-Kaiser-Haus providing members’ offices, committee rooms and other functions is actually a group of nine houses on both sides of Dorotheenstraße forming a functional unit. Five teams (ASP (Houses 1 + 2), Bussmann + Haberer, de Architecten Cie, gmp, Thomas van den Valentyn) were commissioned to ensure differentiated design for the buildings. The main entrance in House 1 leads into a light hall area with a glass ceiling where the ensemble’s lines of communication meet. From here, the way runs via stairs into the underground passage with a link to the Reichstag and the part of the building south of Dorotheenstraße, and there is also a cascade of steps leading up to the office areas. Running across it, the narrower and dramatically high east-west hall creates a link with houses 3 and 4. Houses 1 and 2 are the two new buildings near the surviving Reichstag President’s Palace, which has become part of the ensemble. Appropriately to the character of the Dorotheenstadt, their facades are clad in grey-green sandstone and finished with floor-to-ceiling. The interior of the houses is dominated by the contrast between exposed concrete, glass, steel stairs and bridges and a number of wooden surfaces. The rowing eights in the four basic colours hanging in the hall and floating up and down are a work by Christiane Möbius.
