Continuing on with the list of random purchases I make, a kind of special entry - Medicom RAH Black Rock Shooter, purchased during a recent work stint in Winnipeg, MB.
I have zero knowledge of this character, and in general, I know that Medicom 1/6 figures are rather lacklustre in comparison to companies like Hot Toys. But for the price, I figured why the hell not.
Like I always say, the strength of a toy line often isn't the actual product, but the licensing rights behind it. Pretty much if you're looking for an anime 1/6 figure, it's almost guaranteed to be from Medicom. Of course, the scale is used rather loosely because well, I don't think they're actually in scale, but rather, are about a foot tall.
As I mentioned, I know pretty much nothing about the subject. I've seen some cosplay during Anime North, but that seemed short lived as compared to other series... of course that seems to be the trend with most properties at Anime North. So far as I can tell, Black Rock Shooter is a skinny girl from another dimension who has a sword and a really freakin' big gun.
Having hands on experience with Ultra SFIV Chun Li & Cammy, along with Skyward Sword Link, I think it can be pretty much taken as fact that RAH bodies are more lightweight and flimsy as compared to Hot Toys ones. I don't have enough figures to know for sure, but I think there is a greater variety of bodies used for RAH figures as compared to Hot Toys.
Of course, this might be due to the amount of skin most of these Anime girls show.
Black Rock Shooter comes with accessories, of course, including 5 extra hands (7 in total), an extra front hair piece with the blue glowing eye effect, articulated hair on her head, her sword, and her big ass gun.
And stands with clips.. so many stands.
I'm guessing the gun took a lot of money to produce, because normally I'm thinking I'd see two, maybe three expressions as well as other accessories that would be appropriate, like articulated chains or something.
The hair can be fiddled with in order to simulate movement, just like the coat can.
The hands, much like all the other RAH figures I've played with, all have that terrible design that have the connection to the body be this long narrow post connected to the hand itself. Needless to say, I've already broken one and it needs to be replaced.
Furthermore, maybe it's because mine is used, but it seems that the neck joint isn't quite strong enough to fully control the weight of the head plus hair.
Another constant with RAH figures I've played with is that outfits are typically made of less that premium materials. Black Rock Shooter's coat is made of black vinyl, with wires in the tail of the coat to simulate flowing cloth.
The detailing on these Anime figures typically isn't as involved as with figures that come from a motion picture property, with quality of paint apps and decal more being more front and center. From that perspective RAH figures are typically not bad, with clean work coming from the factory.
If you look on the sword, it's basically a shaped piece of plastic with a decent finish on it. Ditto for the gun as well, though I will say the sheer size and weight of the thing is pretty impressive.
The body itself is actually pretty posable, including some hidden ab action. It's hidden as the ab section of the figure is actually concealed by a flexible rubber skin. The coat can come off but if I'm being honest, there isn't really much to take photographs of.
Finally, we arrive at my least favourite part of this set, the gun. Actually getting the figure to hold the figure is one thing, but posing it correctly is another. I had no instructions to go off of, but based on a photo or two that I saw, it seems that the gun is the suspended by the other two flimsy plastic stands the set came with.
And what a royal pain in the ass that was to get it done.
So overall, the figure is alright, but definitely not one I'd EVER consider paying full price for. It certainly stands out on my shelves, though.
I set up 365 random articles on Wikipedia and for each one of them I've created an icon, describing the particular topic in a graspable fashion. Thus, you'd get an interesting topic or knowledge for each day of the year.

Big Questions for Artificial General Intelligence
2. Can abstract knowledge representation serve as an adequate foundation for the adaptive creation of context-specific knowledge representations?
(and if so, what kind?)
From the opening session: Review of AI and AGI Past Present and Future by Ben Goertzel of Novamente at the The First Conference on Artificial General Intelligence (AGI-08) Ben Goertzel was one of the conference organizers and is a driving force in the AGI community.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) research focuses on the original and ultimate goal of AI -- to create intelligence as a whole, by exploring all available paths, including theoretical and experimental computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and innovative interdisciplinary methodologies. AGI is also called Strong AI in the AI community.

He said, “there is a need to upgrade the skills of the journalists on new media tools such as social media and crowd sourcing journalism”. He further said that, “the Peshawar Press Club works for the capacity building and skill development of its members by organizing different professional courses”.
On a skype video link David Brewer-based out of London and founder of media-helping-media organization, emphasized on applying the public interest test to journalists, which discussed the role of governments and charity organizations in pursuing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). He stressed that journalists must read the MDGs with same skepticism that they treat every other beat. Mr. Brewer is one of the pioneers in media development. He has been the founding managing director of BBC News Online Service and the CNN.com.
Mr. Shaukat Khattak, senior journalist and chairman of the capacity building committee of the Peshawar Press Club, also expressed that the Peshawar Press Club realizes the importance of promoting journalism that covers the political and the socio-economic system. He encouraged the need of training provided to the journalists for a better outcome.

The session dealt with the problems being faced by journalists, which also underscored the need for a joint code of conduct for reporters and cameramen.
Ali Hazrat Bacha, Senior Vice President of the Khyber Union of Journalists raised issues such as lack of training, non-supportive management, unavailability of basic resources, pressure groups, wages and the absence of a unified code of conduct. Ali Hazrat Bacha, Senior Vice President of the Khyber Union of Journalists raised similar concerns and stressed over the lack of resources and support from stakeholders on investigative journalism.

The initiative is being carried in collaboration with the Press Clubs in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pukhtoonkhwa, Baluchistan and Azad Kashmir; In these series of interactions with the stakeholders a special Journalism Awards is being created to identify the most respectful and responsible journalists in investigative journalism.
Mishal has an MoU with the Peshawar Press Club to performs due role in promoting educational, literary, cultural and sports activities in the society. With the emergence of new conflict zones in the region, efforts have being made to convert Peshawar press club into a modern media complex, equipped with technological gadgets and professional kits to ensure unhindered flow of information to the world.

Showing someone their political/family orientation which they either don't know or have lost touch with. I simplify it to conservative or liberal. Red for conservative and blue for liberal, kind of like the current --blue state/Democrat -- red state/Republican-- description. I also like the --right brain/blue -- left brain/red --orientation descriptions if you are familiar with those from psychology.
This self knowledge would help us not to more deeply ingrain our prejudices in futile conflicts. For example, if a person knows they are more conservative they know that they must restrain their inclination to attack those that have strengths or weaknesses in the liberal vein. That could mean being less critical of new ideas. It could mean being less critical of more free ideas of personal behavior. Another common and more serious problem is overreacting to violations of legislated law or other traditional doctrines. For closer views see: flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2101757001/
As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.

1/43 Code3 conversion of a BMW 330d xDrive Touring in Police Scotland livery. This vehicle is based upon a vehicle that is (or was) in service with the Roads Policing Unit. To my knowledge this is one of the only silver BMWs as most of the others are white.
The base model is a BMW dealership model (Jadi) which was factory-finished in silver.
Custom-made decals have been made by me, which are accurate to the real vehicle. Attention to detail includes: correct number plates, aerial, facebook/twitter logos, accurate light bar and rather unusual (and large) ANPR camera etc.
I was unable to find the roof code on this model, so had to make an educated guess (AB65) based upon a similar vehicle of the same age.
As with all of my models, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
This one has already been sold, as have the Audi A6 and A4 Avant(s) in Police Scotland livery.
Comments are welcomed and requests will be considered. Thanks
Mission Statement of Missouri Botanical Garden: "To discover and share knowledge about plants and their environment." As part of this year's annual holiday light show, strings of lights were suspended over the reflecting pools. I haven't discovered how this light show (and particular the type of installation in the photo) shares knowledge about plants and their environment. I think it sends a very different message about what the Botanical Garden thinks is important and about how they think we should relate to plants in our environment. Saint Louis, Missouri.

NANTUCKET ISLAND BEST TOUR EVER!
ARA'S TRANSPORTATION AND TOURS

======================================================
Visit : www.capecodwindmills.scificincinnati.com/nantucket_windmi...
Nantucket Windmill was built in 1745-46 by Nathan Wilbur, a native sailor and carpenter. During his travels to Holland as a sailor he acquired his knowledge of windmill construction. Everyone who watched him build the odd configuration out of wood from wrecked ships thought he was wasting his time and energy on a foolish idea. He proved them wrong. Due to the octagonal shape of the mill there are no square joints. Each piece of lumber is dove-tailed. The octagonal framework is formed with eight one-foot square corner posts which has given this mill its longevity. Nails were expensive at that time; therefore wooden pegs were used to secure the mortise joints.
Nantucket Windmill stands fifty feet tall. Each of the four arms is thirty feet long and six feet wide. Canvas sails are usually placed on only two or the arms because the winds on Nantucket are strong. Sometimes the wind turns the arms without the sails. Just the lattice work on the arms is enough to catch the wind. These huge arms are supported by a wind shaft that turns an eleven-foot wooden wheel. The engineering of this wheel is inspiring. It is made out of six, sixty degree pieces. Sixty cogs protrude on the inside of the outer rim. These sixty wooden cogs mesh with 12 spindles turning the millstone five times as fast as the rotation of the propeller.
Nantucket Windmill has a rich and varied history. In 1936 repairs were made to the mill allowing the cap to be turned again so that operation of the mill was not dependent upon a southwest wind. When the mill was restored in 1936, it was discovered that Wilbur’s installation of the millstones had a unique story. Two huge Quincy granite millstones quarried about 1745 were lying in front of the mill. They had never been used. It was surmised that the pulley and tackle Wilbur had was not sufficient to hoist the 3000 pounds of granite up to the second floor where he had designed the mill to set the stones. After realizing these stones were too heavy he ordered some special stones that only weighed 2000 pounds. He ordered one bottom stone and two top stones. Apparently while installing the stones the bottom stone broke because during the restoration it was discovered that Wilbur had placed one of the upper stones upside down and used it as the bottom stone. Wilbur also left the broken bottom stone in front of the mill.
In 1897, Miss Caroline L. W. French of Boston, bought the mill at an auction and gave it to the Nantucket Historical Association. That year the Historical Association restored the exterior and opened the mill to the public. The mill has since been maintained and preserved and still grinds corn meal in the summer.
Nantucket Island is 30 miles south of Cape Cod. Access to the island is by ferry or airplane. (Nantucket Windmill History & Exterior)

A real time capsule but nature is taking back a lot of the rooms with full on decay and collapsed floors. Not to mention a shotgun wielding farmer and a bull roaming the enclosure to make matters worse. No chase today - bull was curiously watching us run away but did not decide to pursue.

隨筆閒聊：關於學藝不精
自幼便認為自己繪畫頗有天賦，讀美術學校時，成積好不在話下。老師教導一定必須先講理論、技法、概念等等，之後才會讓學生動筆，而一定也是基本功必須先練好。每年學校都有一次作品展，有一次主題訂好後，內容可以自由發揮，但老師警告大家，畫什麼都可以就是不可以畫人像，因為我們能力不夠領會奧義，無論你畫得再好一定給0分，偶這成績優異鐵齒白目的小子，自然不把老師講的當一回事，出展後，老師也很給面子，給了我不及格分數，這是我第一次拿到不及格。這是給我一個非常好的啟發，自己丟臉沒關係，但總不能丟老師的臉。那怕是現在我玩攝影已經20幾年，也在業界打混過幾年，初期沒10年我還真不敢拿出來獻寶。直到這1-2年才敢收學生。
現在的人拿手機、傻瓜相機拍照OK普及很好，偶沒啥意見，但很多人拿的單眼才沒幾年搞得好像大師一樣。
前一陣子我遇到一位格西，自己也覺得專研多年佛學，有個問題很難理解，於是請教格西，他說縱使他學佛30餘年也無法保證能解釋的好，這要看問題的目的與方向，我一再央求請他簡單解釋一下即可，格西打死不願說，我想他畢竟不了解我的程度，萬一令我錯解在戒律上可是有過失的。如同先前所述，老師用意是值得尊敬的。
很多學問都是一致的求學過程，現在的人太沒有耐性了，按讚多就以為受肯定，殊不知這會害死自己。我發現越媚俗的東西按讚等比擴大，有深度的則反之，習慣了自然就墮入俗套了。深度的創作都是條孤獨的道路，我跟學生說過，100個外行人對你按讚是一點幫助也沒有，那怕是僅一位高手來對你肯定，那才是勝過千百人莫大的鼓勵。
.
PS.很多網站都說要你建立良好社交關係(多去吹捧他人)，你的作品才會得到個多讚.......讚你個頭，我不想藐視專業，更不想害死你。我當然會按讚，但起碼我是認真的!!
