I like my make-up on this picture. I don't like too much make-up so I kept it quite simple. The bright red lipstick matches well with my dress and particularly the eyeliner below my eyes works very well to make my eyes stand out and look bigger. The sparkly necklace is pretty too; Paula is pleased.
I have used a circular cutter to make 180 degree cuts in 0.040 inch styrene sheet for a couple of tunnel portals that I will install on my N scale model railroad. The cutter is made by Olfa, and I purchased it at a local art supply store rather than a hobby shop that sells train stuff. Art supply stores sell lots of tools, paints, craft items, and materials useful to a model railroader. The circular cutter has a strong, sharp compass point that is mounted on a sturdy head which has an adjustment screw. By loosening the screw, a horizontal beam can slide in or out a variable distance from the center point and then be locked down at the desired distance. The replaceable cutting blade (held into place by another screw) is mounted on the horizontal beam.
Nobody makes an N scale tunnel portal the size and shape that I want, so I had to cut my own. The tunnel opening has a radius of 8 ½ scale feet from the track center line, so that is what I set on my circular cutter. The straight vertical dimension for each side is 20 scale feet above the top on the rails plus another 3 feet for the height of the rails, crossties, and roadbed. Both of the vertical sides have to be exactly tangent to the semicircle above, so determining where to position my straight edge for the first side was the trickiest part of the whole project. From that line, I used a steel drafting triangle (also purchased from the art supply store) to place the cutting point and center compass point. I swung a 180 degree arc to locate the position of the other vertical side. My N scale ruler (shown here) is 10 scale feet wide, so my first vertical cut was 10 scale feet from the edge of the styrene sheet. After the circular cut and both vertical cuts were completely through the plastic, I could easily remove the excess from each side.
Figuring the geometry of where to position my circular cutter and the straight edge to guide my razor blade required a lot of thought before doing any of the actual cutting. Once I began cutting, I had to be careful to keep my blades in the right places, but the cutting itself was very repetitive and time consuming. Each tunnel portal required an hour or two of MANY short, little cuts before I broke through the plastic sheet. Then there was sanding to smooth it out and trimming the overall piece to fit the future mountain that I haven’t built yet. This photo shows the positioning of the circular cutter, but I took the photo after the job was done (and my nails repainted). For all this cutting, I used my Dupli-Cutter to hold my work in place. The Dupli-Cutter has clamps that can be positioned in several places, an adjustable slide sheet held down by the clamps, and a frame whose jaws can be opened up to hold various thicknesses of plastic for making precise, square cuts.
Happy seventeenth Macro Mondays!
A big thanks to the moderators that make this group so special. And to all of the members for their wonderful photographs. And a special thanks to the members for following the rules and making the moderators’ job that much easier.
I came from a small family.. I think that makes family even more precious. Unfortunately we can't hold on to them in this world forever. Within two years, my parents and my brother, who was down syndrome passed away. My daughter and I are left with many beautiful memories.. and thanks to the invention of photography, we can keep looking at those memories over and over.. We can literally hold on to some of those memories. I wonder if the person who invented the camera ever knew how much joy his invention would bring to the world? My daughter and my father, aka "poppa", had a very special relationship. Please indulge me as I go back down memory lane for a few posts. This was taken about 25 yrs ago.. way back down memory lane.
A few weeks ago I was finally able to get away from all the hustle and bustle of living downtown Chicago on a college campus, and find some solitude in nature. It was super refreshing. Despite the extreme winds off the tip of door county peninsula, and the coldest temperatures of the season; just being out in God's creation was a needed respite.
Ice is one of my favorite things to photograph. It is always changing, it is extreme, and it often makes fascinating shapes. Unfortunately, we have literally had almost no ice build up in Illinois this year. Many of my friends are thankful for the mild winter, but it leads to lackluster photographic opportunities. So, being able to get away and enjoy some monumental ice formations such as these was an oasis in a photographically dry desert of a winter.
...except for the free food the queen provided the poorest quarters in the city, she would also once a year gifts of gold and food to the one that was singled out as the poorest citizen within the town and its outskirts...
This recipient would be new every year since they got so much gold that they could support themselves for years...
For singling out of this person the queen had assembled a small board consisting of Her, Prince Albert, the town mage and also every city guilds chairman as well as some official minority groups leaders such as from the middle-esterling refugee population living in the capital...
Every year would start the same, the Wizard would say that he was the poorest citizen, anyhow as he argued, compared to the cost of running experiments that his budget would go on a big negative value every year, after this queen would grant him some gold to keep quiet for the rest of the meeting...
...then Prince Albert would complain about that his consumption of alcohol made him have large tabs on every pub and then stated that if he would pay every tavern what he owed them he would be on a minus so huge that even the states entire annual budget couldn´t stuff his holes in the budget, then the queen would given him a gold coin and he would excuse himself and vanish with the speed of drunk-light!!!
Then the meeting could start for real... this year an old miner living in an abandoned mine close to town was the one the board agreed on was the poorest person and should be granted the award, but the members of the board warned the queen, that he was a nutter, so she would better bring a whole army to keep safe...
The queen settled for three soldiers and Puffy iff her favorite dog...
...later that day a horse-drawn chart loaded with food and gold arrived to the abandoned mine...
the queen jumped off her horse, there was no one to be seen, when she peeked inside the main building, there was just a big abyss of a hole, she called down the hole:
- Is there anyone home, it is you majesty Queen Esmeralda, with a surprise...
then it just echoed for ever and ever, then she heard a faint voice:
- I will just be a jiffy, I am here digging, will be up quite soon...
...after a while a dirty old bearded man climbed the walls of the abyss like a mountain goat... very agile despite his ancient age...
- Hello Madam, I am...
oh what is my name now again?
yes nap, nappy, Napoleon, yes that is my name, Napoleon and some number I can´t remember!
Who are you my fair lady?
- Hi, Napoleon I am Esmeralda also with a number, Actually Esmeralda the first...
- Yes, first, one, one that is my number and one more number that is higher than the first, yes one plus three, I am four, no wait I am 1 and three that is 13, oh wait I am, oh I forgot what my first name was...
- Napoleon, the queen replied!
- Yes that is the guy, Napoleon number 13, who are you?
- I am ruling queen of t his queendom, eh I mean kingdom!
Step outside I have a small surprise for you!
- No you can´t be ruling this kingdom, because I am King, from here to the land of the forestmen, the barbarian, the middle-asterling emirates, I own it all...
- Oh (*giggle*)! You Majesty would you please step outside and look at the surprise I have brought you...
- ok, ok, ah it is daylight my poor eyes... oh I see now, your brought your King and Emperor three men and two horse to help me dig, I am very pleased my loyal subject... You will be rewarded later, or now, I will award the title: Earl of the eastern wall of my hole between 30 feet and 45 feet...
- Eh Well, your Majesty actually my gift isn´t my henchmen or beast of burden but what we have brought you on the chart over there, one chest of gold, a box of food, a chicken and a sack of cereal seeds...
- My subject, are you trying to make mockery out of me? I have gold, I am the richest man in the world, down my hole I have lumps of gold so huge that a dragon couldn´t lift a grain of them... you really disappoint me citizen, I hope the crate with food is fresh earthworms? since that is the only thing I eat, all other food just gives me constipation or was it the other way around, anyhow I eat only fresh squiggly earthworms...
- Eh, Well you majesty, no I have failed you, I have brought you nothing of value and as a self-punishment for the shame I have brought up on my self, will leave you to your work and retreat to my "prison-like" palace and no longer bother you your majesty...
I am so sorry!
- Well Subject citizen, I Napoleon the 14th forgive you, no need for you to punish your self, but, now leave me alone and get your stuff out of my property... Now I have more important things to do than to squabble and gossip with puny subject...
- Yes your majesty...!
the queen slowly backed away while bowing and kneeling respectfully, she picked up Spotty iff and she and her men mounted a rode away to the farm next door and gave the random family the gifts perhaps they were not the poorest but they surely needed the gifts more than Napoleon!
SO, to make this go quickly, I'm only going to do each of their names, ages, and aliases, and a backstory of the team. Okay? Okay.
From L to R:
Name: Susan "Sue" Storm
Alias: Invisible Woman
Age: 48
Name: Reed Richards
Alias: Mr. Fantastic
Age: 51
Name: Jonathan "Johnny" Storm
Alias: Human Torch
Age: 16
Name: Benjamin "Ben" Grimm
Alias: The Thing
Age: 49
Backstory: In 2005, Susan and Reed were scientists who've been married for 3 years now. Two years prier, they had their first child, Johnny. Reed's best friend Ben was a brewer, who worked quite close to Reed and Sue's lab, and also helped with several tests and experiments for them. 2012, and Johnny started also helping with a lot of the tests and experiments Reed and Sue did. 2014, and Reed, Sue, Ben and Johnny finally finished building a rocket ship! They used this ship for a test run, but somehow got stuck in space... The ship was eventually pulled into a portal, which brought them to a land called the "Negative Zone". Due to an outbreak of some sort of virus put there, caused by the villain "Annihilus", this gave them powers. Johnny could set himself on fire with his mind and fly, without a scratch. Reed could stretch his limbs in any shape! Sue could create force fields, and turn herself invisible! Ben got super strength, and turned into some kind of rock monster... 2016, they got back to earth. Somehow, several years went by in the time they were gone... But when they did get back, they made suits, and fought crime as... The Fantastic Four!

WEEK 16 – Barnes & Noble Ole Miss: Reunionited and It Feels So Good (II)
So, let’s recap: we entered the store through its lower level entrance, exited through its main upper level entrance, and just saw that there’s a second upper level entrance immediately adjacent to the main one. You’d think three entrances would be plenty, but from the image above, clearly you can see where I’m headed with this: there’s one more entrance to go! This picture of the fourth (!!) entrance and exit point pulls double-duty in that it also shows us that main upper level register area that I’ve been alluding to in several of the prior descriptions. The window walls make for good displays for window shopping, too, with lots of attention-grabbing Ole Miss merchandise trying to draw shoppers in. It looks like the area off to the right, specifically, was the drinkware department – all I see are mugs, tumblers, bottles, koozies, even wine and shot glasses…

For Jack Russels, there is never enough play time. She was determined to play all by herself, which was equally amusing. I will say there is not a day that goes by that Maya doesn't make us laugh. She is truly a blessing.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles, will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles, will be miles away
Once again, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Will be near to us once more
Someday soon we all will be together
If the fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now

How to make an ordinary pleated school skirt fashionable for lunch on a Sunday. Wear a nice floral top with it, add a flouncy underskirt with the hem showing below the skirt's hem, and add heels and dark hosiery. I bet not many (if any) of the other diners made a point of thinking I was out in my school skirt ;-)
