England gets to the World Cup Final.....................
Yes folks................the English have actually made it.........
Forget about the Dutch,.............and the bloody Spanish...............
The most important people at the final are the officials.
Yes the referee and his linesmen are English.
Known for our impartiality England has been rewarded .......at last I say..!!!
Ok Howard (that's the ref's name) send all the bloody Spanish off...........fairly of course........
This is one of my improvised grinding blocks, made of scrap rectangular piece of aluminum and 3M SandBlaster abrasive film. The abrasive film is mounted using thin 3M double-sided sticky tape for carpets. I prefer film over cloth-backed or paper-backed sheets because it's thinner and less prone to displacement than cloth and way more long-lasting and durable than paper.
It requires a fair amount of water to prevent clogging. When a film gets worn out, it's easy to peel it off.
On a long run (in production), this method is more expensive than having full- or half-thickness abrasive stones, but if you need a full scale of grits, large area (75x170mm in this case), and near-perfect flatness, this method can save you hundreds of dollars and a lot of storage space. Full kit of grits for a one-time job will cost less than $50, while the cheapest (thinnest) single stone (like Shapton ceramic with glass base) of the same quality and with a similar working area will cost about $55.

Ellen Godena - Movement Artist - is an experimental performer, choreographer, and Mobius Artists Group member. Her recent work has focused on the relationships between human, non-human (organic), and machine (non-organic) movement as a method for studying human development. Recent solo and collaborative works have been quests to define these relationships through the use of primitive, robotic entities in performance.
Ellen’s training, artistic influences and inspiration derive from the study of Japanese avant-garde movement and theater forms that have developed since the early 1960’s, primarily the butoh dances created by Japanese artists Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata, physical theater, and contemporary dance. Since 1998, she has performed solo, group, and ensemble work in Boston, Philadelphia, Providence, and New York City. She was a former dancer with the Boston-based Kitsune Dance Theater (2003-06) under the direction of Deborah Butler, and the NYC post-modern butoh troupe, the Vangeline Theater (2006-08) under the direction of Vangeline. She has performed with Master butoh artist Katsura Kan (Curious Fish, 2002, 2008), and has studied with internationally recognized artists such as Zack Fuller, Hiroko Tamano, Su-En, Diego Pinon, and Katsura Kan. Her primary, long-term training has been with American artists Deborah Butler, Vangeline, and Jennifer Hicks. Currently, Ellen is presenting solo robotics – movement projects in addition to performing regularly with Liz Roncka's Real-Time Performance Project in Boston, MA. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Rhode Island School of Design in Studio Painting (1997), and a Master's degree in Human Development and Psychology from Harvard University (2005).

[ One of three single-serving tools that I discuss here: www.cheaphack.net/2008/03/single-serving-tools.html ]
I needed to install the bearing cups to a 1-1/8" threadless headset on the bicycle I was building. But, I was only going to do this one time, so I didn't feel like buying a tool, even if it only cost $20.
My solution was this. A 1/2" screw is used to push two soft plastic plates together. These, in turn, push the cups into the headset. The plates were made out of some plastic from an old cutting board.
For best results, stick the cups in the freezer for half an hour--they will contract slightly and fit more easily.

Another evening activity, to give the chefs a night off, involved the students, soldiers and veterans working out a meal for everyone from available ingredients and cooking it on improvised facilities built from materials lying around in the Training Area. Here Lee and Leicester undergrad Bethan work on the ammo box oven, and Kaz continues her pyromaniac ways, under the watchful eyes of Jocky and (2nd L) Bruce who trains Army chefs. The resulting food was really good!
A funny street photography scenario. I was there to take a landscape photo. In fact behind the red dressed girl there is the wonderful Albano lake.
