Cheese cubes assembled from 1x1 slopes of mixed age are slightly longer top-to-bottom than side-to-side. Should I redesign the pattern on the floor so the slopes only point forward and back? If anything I could use a scheme that requires fewer slopes total...
I was graced with having the opportunity to be put in a Brickjournal magazine, and there are some other great builders in it as well such as Lego7 and Mike Nieves
Imagine living caged. Imagine a huge wall being built around your home. Imagine this wall destroying trees and causing homes to be demolished. Possibly yours. What would you do?
The Israeli Wall has been comdemned by the UN, and yet it is still being built. The Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign’s most recent map of the Wall’s path, finalized November 2003, reveals that if completed in its entirety, nearly 50% of the West Bank population will be affected by the Wall through loss of land, imprisonment into ghettos, or isolation into Israeli de facto annexed areas .
Israel maintains that the Wall is a temporary structure to physically separate the West Bank from Israel and thus to prevent suicide attacks on Israeli citizens. However the wall’s location, (in some places reaching up to 6km inside Palestinian territory), and projected length, (currently 750km, despite a border with Israel of less than 200km), suggest it is more realistically an additional effort to confiscate Palestinian land, facilitate further colony expansion and unilaterally redraw geopolitical borders all the while encouraging an exodus of Palestinians by denying them the ability to earn a living from their land, reach their schools or work places, access adequate water resources, or reach essential health care.

A DYING GHETTO
(Exerpt from Chris Hedges' Wall of Horrors)
Qalqiliya is a ghetto. It is completely surrounded by the wall. There is one Israeli military checkpoint to let people into the West Bank or back home again. Only those with special Israeli-issued permits can go in and out of Qalqiliya. It is not the Lodz ghetto or the Warsaw ghetto, but it is a ghetto that would be recognizable to the Jews who were herded into walled enclaves by Pope IV in 1555 and stranded there for generations. Qalqiliya, like all ghettos, is dying. And it is being joined by dozens of other ringed ghettos as the serpentine barrier snaking its way through up and down two sides of the West Bank gobbles up Palestinian land and lays down nooses around Palestinian cities, towns, villages and fields.
Construction began on the barrier in 2002 with the purported intent of safeguarding Israel from suicide bombers and other types of attacks. Although it nominally runs along the 1949 Jordanian-Israeli armistice/Green Line that demarcates the boundary between Israel and the Palestinian-held West Bank, around 80 percent of the barrier actually cuts into Palestinian territories --at some points by as much as 20 kilometers.
If and when the barrier is completed, several years from now, it will see the West Bank cut up into three large enclaves and numerous small ringed ghettos. The three large enclaves will include in the south the Bethlehem/Hebron area and in the north the Jenin/Nablus and Ramallah areas.
B'tselem, a leading Israeli human rights organization that documents conditions in the occupied territories, recently estimated that the barrier will eventually stretch 703 miles around the West Bank, about 450 of which are already completed or under construction. (The Berlin Wall, for comparison, ran 96 miles.) B'tselem also estimates that 500,000 West Bank residents will be directly affected by the barrier (by virtue of residing in areas completely encircled by the wall; by virtue of residing west of the barrier and thus in de facto Israeli territory; or by virtue of residing in East Jerusalem, where Palestinians effectively cannot cross into West Jerusalem).
I stand on Qalqiliya's main street. There is little traffic. Shop after shop is shuttered and closed. The heavy metal doors are secured to the ground with thick padlocks. There are signs in Hebrew and Arabic, fading reminders of a time when commerce was possible. There were, before the wall was built, 42,000 people living here. Mayor Maa'rouf Zahran says at least 6,000 have left. Many more, with the unemployment rate close to 70%, will follow. Over the tip of the wall, in the distance, I can see the tops of the skyscrapers in Tel Aviv. It feels as if it is a plague town, quarantined. Israeli officials, after a few suicide bombers slipped into Israel from Qalqiliya, began to refer to the town as a "hotel for terrorists."
There are hundreds of acres of farmland on the other side of the wall, some of the best farmland in the West Bank, which is harder and harder to reach given the gates, checkpoints and closures. There are some 32 farming villages on the outskirts of Qalqiliya, cut off from their land, sinking into poverty and despair. Olive groves, with trees that are hundreds of years old, have been uprooted and bulldozed into the ground. The barrier is wiping out the middle class in the West Bank, the last bulwark in the West Bank against Islamic fundamentalism. It is plunging the West Bank into the squalor that defines life in the Gaza Strip, where Palestinians struggle to live on less than $ 2 a day. It is the Africanization of Palestinian land...
If the barrier is being built for security, why is so much of the West Bank being confiscated by Israel? Why is the barrier plunging in deep loops into the West Bank to draw far-flung settlements into Israel? Why are thousands of acres of the most fertile farmland and much of the West Bank's aquifers being seized by Israel?
The barrier does not run along the old 1967 border or the 1949 armistice line between Israel and the Arab states, which, in the eyes of the United Nations, delineates Israel and the West Bank. It will contain at least 50% of the West Bank, including the whole of the western mountain aquifer, which supplies the West Bank Palestinians with over half their water. The barrier is the most catastrophic blow to the Palestinians since the 1967 occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
The barrier itself mocks any claim that it is temporary. It costs $ 1 million per mile and will run over $ 2 billion by the time it is completed. It will cut the entire 224-mile length of the West Bank off from Israel, but because of its diversions into the West Bank to incorporate Palestinian land it will be about 400 miles in length. A second barrier is being built on the Jordan River side of the West Bank. To look at a map of the barrier is to miss the point. The barrier interconnects with every other piece of Israeli-stolen real estate in Palestinian territory. And when all the pieces are in place the Israelis will no doubt offer up the little ringed puddles of poverty and despair and misery to the world as a Palestinian state.
"C'mon, c'mon, c'monn!" I yell out as I keep flying. As I'm about to exit the atmosphere, I begin to inhale as much air as I can. Luckily one of my powers allows me to basically be able to travel in space. I can hold my breath for a few hours. Hopefully, this shouldn't take that long. Unfortunately, I can't talk in space, obviously, that would be crazy. As I enter the black void of space, I look around amazed at the beauty of space. Once I see the bright yellow sun, I fly as fast as I can towards it. All sense of time is lost in space, but I honestly don't care. It feels like I've now been flying forever in this never-ending nothingness of space. Finally, I see it so clearly, the yellow sun. Only Rao can help you now sister, I really hope this works. I will wait near the surface of the sun for as long as it takes.

All I see is moments flashing before my eyes. My time on Krypton before it's destruction, me and my brother leaving Krypton, and coming to Earth. This goes on for a while until what would be considered the end of my life. The man in the white suit, with fangs for teeth. The monstrosity that has ruined lives of so many. I hope Chris is ok. I know this will hit him really hard especially after all we've been through already. After the last image fades away, I expect it to all be black. But it isn't. For some reason, I'm back on Krypton, in Astro City. What is going on? I then see two faces I never thought I'd see again. I can feel the tears drip down my face, as I run into the arms of my parents.
"Mother! Father! I've missed you both so much, and I'm so happy to see you again" I can feel the warmth of their arms around me.
"Oh my dear Thara Ak-El, it's so good to see you! We're so proud of you and your brother. The people of Earth are lucky to have you as their protectors. But as much as we would love to be with you now, it's time for you to go." My mother replies, with her classic smile. Always the hopeful one. Definitely is the one I got it from.
"Go? Where?"
"Back.. To your brother, to your new friends, your Earth father, and to the citizens of Leavenworth. They all need you Thara.. It is not yet your time to be with us here. We will always be with you, never forget that. We love you both so much. Keep fighting for that hope. Krypton lives on through you." After I hear the words from my father, I don't feel their arms around me anymore. In fact, all I can see now is a bright light, with a hand reaching towards me. With my eyes still watery, I grab hold of this hand. The scenery changes, and somehow, I'm back. Back to the world I thought I'd never see again. I look around, and notice the yellow sun right in front of me. What the heck? I'm just floating there, in the vacuum of space, by the sun. No big deal right? Finally, I see my brother. He looks so worn out, but once he notices that I'm awake, I see a look of relief and happiness grow on his face. I give him a thumbs up, and we head back to Earth. It takes us a long time, but eventually we are back in the atmosphere of Earth. When we get to a reasonable air level, I start to breathe in and out again. Ah, fresh air, it's been a while..
"Heyy sis, we should probably go get some rest now, right?"
"Actually Chris, I'm quite hungry right now. Got a craving for Big Belly Burger. Is it ok if we go and get some?"
"You kidding me? Of course it is! You just died and came back.. If that's not a good reason for Big Belly Burger, I don't know what is. I'm just glad you're alive. I've lost enough as it is."
"Yeah me too.."

I had the opportunity to tag along during this incredible visual shoot. These edits are the photos I captured. Photos can be seen in Inprint Photo Magazine's November 2013 creative issue.
Concept created by photographer Jennifer Crowder, and visuals provided by Sixto-Juan Zavala. These photos were taken by me.
W.G. Bagnall built 'austerity' tank engine number 75254 was running at Locomotion on demonstration brake van runs.
The 1945 built engine went into War Department use before being sold (like so many of the type) into NCB use in 1963 at Comrie Colliery, Fife. It is now in the ownership of the SRPS at Bo’ness.

It was an amazing experience: my friend Paolo asked me for some pics of his great white Honda Civic FN2 Mugen. I drove from my little town to Brescia in the morning. It was the first time in that place so I was quite afraid about to find a cool location for the photoshoot. When I arrived Paolo asked me to drive to the company of a friend to deliver some of the work he was doing for him. The result was:
- work delivered
- first location found
After the photoshoot at the company of his friend, Paolo accompained me to a b&b that he chosed for me (a really great place to stay). Near the b&b II noticed a sort of bridge with a cool sidework: it was big and we decided to place the car there and shoot again.
I'm really proud of this set for some reasons:
- I had the chance of spend some time with a great person
- I had the chance to shoot great a car and it is a great way to spend my time
- I had the chance to have my pics on SUPER STREET MAGAZINE, one of the greatest magazine in the US. I'm really happy about that feature because I really love SUPER STEET and I'm honored to be a part of an issue with a big 6 pages article and because I had the pleasure to make a dream come true: Inow I can say that I have another friend in the US: he is a great person and one of thegreatest photographers all around: Mr. Sean Klingelhoefer!

I'd been to see the Royal Wedding and was wandering through Piccadilly when I came across this beautiful dog helping her owner sell 'The Big Issue'. I've come across many The Big Issue sellers with dogs but this was the first time I'd seen one helping. For those who don't know The Big Issue exists to offer homeless and vulnerably housed people the opportunity to earn a legitimate income.

The primary historic post office in downtown Macon is the William Augustus Bootle Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, located at 475 Mulberry Street. Originally completed in 1908, it served as the city's main post office and federal courthouse for decades.
Architecture & Design
Style: The building is a premier example of Beaux Arts Classicism, designed by James Knox Taylor, the Supervising Architect of the U.S. Treasury.
Exterior: Its facade is clad in white Georgia marble with a rusticated first floor and monumental paired columns.
Interior: The original postal lobby features verde marble pilasters, terrazzo floors with brass dividers, and richly detailed plaster ceilings. Some of the original octagonal postal tables remain in place today.
Key Historical Milestones
1896: Planning began due to Macon's rapid growth requiring a larger postal and judicial facility.
1905–1908: Construction took three years, replacing an older courthouse that was demolished in 1906.
1917 & 1934: The building underwent significant expansions to accommodate growing needs while maintaining its original architectural style.
1972: It was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
1998: The building was renamed to honor Judge William Augustus Bootle, a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement who issued landmark rulings desegregating the University of Georgia and Macon’s public services.
Current Use
Today the building serves as the headquarters for the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. It also houses the U.S. Marshals Service and offices for the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

Here is a picture of my digital camera ready to be packed for my trip to the Canadian GP....or is it? Nope, we we're here are visiting blurry I asked AI to create an out of focus picture of a digital camera on a wooden desk in a room. It really isn't far off my actual camera I can see sitting on my actual wooden desk!
Stick on stuff shrinks in strong sun.
Interesting property on the other side of the road, with a sort of cut out for parking and living area above. No dropped kerb though.
