Shot in a rundown barn in Newark, DE. Really liked the textures of the rusted metal against the aged wood.
Improvised fish hooks using a small safety pin and a inner strand of paracord. The gouge was made out of walnut and a inner strand of paracord.
Made by blacksmith who was demostrating his craft and selling stuff at the local artisan market recently.
Early c1100 Norman bucket font of oolitic limestone, designed for total immersion , stands on a more recent base. It has a lead lining, and a recent fixed wooden surround on the upper surface
Round the upper part of the bowl, within a border, is a beaded wavy line (snakes ?) with foliage at intervals on either side and a half lozenge underneath. Round the lower part, within a border, is a series of roundels with circular medallions.
The figures show Adam and Eve (ADAM and EVA inscribed on their chests in mixed Roman and Lombardic capitals) , the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and signs of the Zodiac (Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) , Aquarius & Aries)
Adam has a spade in his right hand and a rake held up in his left hand. Eve, who has plaited hair, holds an apple in her right hand and a fig leaf in her left.
Sagittarius (SAGITARIVS) the archer portrayed as a centaur, with the body, hind legs and tail of a horse and human torso, is turned away from Aquarius, but the upper, human part is looking back and holds a bow with a short arrow, which he is about to discharge. This combination suggests Sagittarius as the champion of all that is right and good, driving away the evil influence as represented by the flood which would destroy the world, released by Aquarius (the water carrier) who has a hooked stick over his shoulder with 2 water-bags hanging from it, and carries an axe in front of him., The destructive character of the water of the flood is thus contrasted with the regenerative power of the water of baptism.
Aries is typical of the lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world. He is standing on a flat pedestal and below this is a tree with foliage extending on either side from the top of the trunk, suggesting the tree of life. The remaining figure is Serpens, represented as a two headed serpent, with one head biting the other. This is a symbol o f the powers of evil which war against one another and bring about their own destruction. (or possibly the symbol of eternity)

Bangor bounce back against Portadown
by Roger Corbett
Determined to put their disappointing performance against Dundalk behind them, Bangor produced a patient display against Portadown to win by 17-10.
Last weekend had been a difficult one for both sides. Bangor were well and truly humbled by an exemplary performance by Dundalk, losing by the largest margin in recent years. For Portadown’s part, they travelled to Donaghadee only to be put to the sword by a merciless 46-0. Bangor needed the win today to show that still had what it takes to remain a powerful force in the league. Likewise, Portadown were hoping to stop the rot of several poor results and remain in contention for an all-important top four place, keeping alive their hopes to contest the All Ireland Junior Cup next season. With both sides fielding teams that reflected their growing injury lists, this had all the ingredients for an interesting and competitive encounter. Bangor had 6 changes from last weekend, the most notable being a 1st XV debut for David Caughey coming in for Freddie Black at second row.
Portadown kicked off with the wind at their backs, and for the first half hour of the game play was almost entirely held within the centre of the pitch, between the two twenty twos. Although Bangor were producing the more meaningful attacks, they suffered from knock-ons when tackled, and some miss-timed passes that went astray. On a positive note, the scrums looked solid and the line-outs showed signs of improvement. However, after 35 minutes a good Portadown break saw Bangor desperately defending their line. In the resulting series of defensive rucks, Bangor were eventually penalised and a yellow card was shown to Curtis Stewart. The stalemate was then broken on the stroke of half time when Bangor conceded another penalty, this time in front of their own posts. The straightforward kick was successful giving Portadown the narrowest of leads as the sides turned around at 0-3.
Now playing with the wind advantage, Bangor got the second half underway. However, it was Portadown who showed the early initiative, winning another penalty after 12 minutes of play. With the wind in their faces, the kick was pushed wide and Bangor were let of the hook. Bangor now started to lift their game and were showing signs of promise with characteristically good runs from Curtis Stewart and Davy Charles. The sustained pressure eventually paid off when Portadown conceded a penalty which Neil Cuthbertson successfully converted, levelling the scores at 3-3.
As the game entered the final quarter, Bangor were making better use of the wind than their opponents had in the first half. Although some kicks went too long, others provided just enough pressure on the Portadown defence to cause them problems. This is exactly what happened when a kick deep into Portadown’s twenty two looked like it might have been going long, but the Portadown full back decided to play it. However, he underestimated the flight of the ball and only managed to get his hands to it, slowing its progress to the goal area. Realising the danger of his actions, he tried to keep the ball in play and then clear up-field, but it overran and Bangor were awarded the 5 metre scrum. Finding themselves in one of their best attacking positions for some time, Bangor’s scrum proved too much for Portadown who were duly penalised. This hadn’t been the first offence of this nature, so the yellow card was shown to the offending Portadown player. Now with the extra man advantage in the scrum, Bangor set about the weakened Portadown pack, resulting in another collapsed scum. The referee, having just warned the Portadown players about the implications of such repeated offences, had no hesitation in awarding Bangor a penalty try under the posts. With the added conversion from Cuthbertson, Bangor were now ahead for the first time, by 10-3.
Bangor now started to look more relaxed, and were keeping play in Portadown’s half. After another 10 minutes, a Bangor scrum on the right hand wing resulted in quick ball to the back line. A long pass by Mark Thompson at out half missed the centres and went straight to Davy Charles, coming into the line from full back. With the Portadown defence trying to cover across, Charles had the pace to get through and dive over in the left hand corner for a try. The touchline kick by Cuthbertson was superbly judged, added the extras and extending Bangor’s lead to 17-3.
Although Bangor enjoyed further scoring opportunities, these came to nothing as poor passing saw the ball go to ground and the attack falter. Portadown, on the other hand, were anxious to come away with something to show for their efforts and mounted a late surge towards Bangor’s line. In the ensuing waves of attack, a series of penalties conceded by Bangor resulted in a yellow card for Charles. The combination of a quickly taken tap penalty and an out of shape Bangor defence, provided Portadown with enough space to dart through for a converted try, and earn a losing bonus point in the process, as the final score came to 17-10.
While this performance could hardly be described as champagne rugby, it still tasted good for Bangor to return to winning ways, and go some way to putting last week’s loss behind them. The mixture of old and new players worked well together, and demonstrates the depth in strength Bangor enjoy within their senior squad. With no match next week, the players and coaching staff have time to regroup and prepare for another ‘cup final’ game – this time against our closest neighbours and rivals, Donaghadee. With the Dee currently enjoying a purple patch and fighting for their survival in this league, and Bangor looking to maintain their hold at the top end of the table, this fixture promises to be an intriguing encounter.

Constructicon Hook!
Today, 3.14.11 I'll introduce Hook (rest will follow on a daily basis)
This "batch" (to say the least) I went with a special spin on Hook, using a custom cast head thanks to Calloway Custom Designs and Shapeways. The head is on a pivot. Hook will form Devastator's upper chest/torso.

Captain James Hook. The plaque next to this statue said "The villian of "Peter Pan" his nemesis, he is said to have been Blackbeard's bosun and the only man Long John Silver ever feared. He wears an iron hook in place of his hand, which was cut off and eaten by a crocodile."

Never thought I would need a hook grip (I like my hooks skinny), but I do now that I'm using this small hook with a very repetitive stitch pattern.
This is a modified version of the home made hook grip shown in How to Make Your Own Crochet Hook Grip: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnyAKzdcbeY
I didn't have any tubing on hand so I used one pencil grip inside another. I cut a lengthwise strip out of the inner grip, rolled it up, pulled it through with rounded jewelry pliers (not easy!), rolled it on a hard surface with the palm of my hand (to get it to wiggle inside better), and trimmed off a little bit that was sticking out the ends. Then I carefully wiggled my hook in.
