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.
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.

Is Knowledge subject to decay? Yes it is, because it is bound by causes and conditions. Only wisdom isn't. And wisdom can arise from the awareness of the impermanence of all things.
Seen in an abandoned University.
Knowledge comes by taking things apart. Wisdom comes by putting things together.

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/
Whoever lives in Grindlow must know that this green lane out of the village gets flooded at times so at some point a line of flags were laid against the wall to allow dry passage.
So this is a late upload,
and not a self portrait.
But let's face it, we could all use a little break from pictures of me.
Well I know I could.
So this is Brian, or B-rye, or as I like to call him B-rizzle.
And this is at Knowledge Bowl state for 1A that was like eight hours away.

An activist for accessible design
Ashley Schahfer knows that even thoughtful design can dissuade or block people with disabilities. As a paraplegic and a wheelchair user, she has experienced what she calls “disabling architecture” firsthand.
As a graduate student in Portland State’s architecture program, she combines her activism and creativity to design and promote beautiful and functional environments for everyone. "Architecture has the power to choreograph our lives," Schahfer says.
At Portland State University, we believe knowledge works best when it serves the community.

The complete cost is estimated to be around 7 million US dollars where knowledge-based industries will be allowed to setup of their operations. The first stage construction work in the 25 acre land plot has now been completed. Mahinda Chinthana future vision envisages to make Sri Lanka a knowledge hub in Asia. The government expects to earn a revenue of one thousand million US dollars from the information sector by the year 2016. In order to achieve this target the knowledge park complex will also be developed as a city consisting business research institutions.
