Okay, I need help with two things. First of all, I need ideas for the fig in the middle. Specifically, her torso. The current one looks kinda weird O_o
Also, I need help deciding which version of Gadget to use for the LoH. I don't normally do this, but PLEASE comment if you fave. I'm kinda stuck here DX
I can't read the inscription, it has a identifying mark. I think the first name is Ian.
UPDATE: Ian Lamb is the Artist. He made this piece 27 years ago, he is a friend of my ex husband's family, and he was at my wedding, but I only ever saw him that one time.
UPDATE 2: If you read the stamp viewing it from standing on the left vertical of the photo, it is a captial letter "I" and L" for Ian Lamb.
I took this shot of my wife Sammy in Vermont in 1964, during a 1,700-mile, 10-day scooter trip through New England and Nova Scotia, by far the most fun vacation we've ever gone on.
So recently i was at Boston Comic Con and they were selling "custom lego minifigs". They are fake but really cool so i picked some up. They can be for trade for the right figures
i feel rude but please view it here? thankyou!

While I love Mike Psiaki's 6-wide JP Explorer, I have a special place in my heart for 5-wide vehicles and the challenge they present. I've wanted to do this ever since I did my Jurassic Park Jeep.

A story of Sicily: the Sicilian Gandhi (but he was not Sicilian ...).
This photographic story is connected, at least in part, with the previous one, whose link is represented by the nephew of the painter Robert Kitson, Miss Daphne Phelps: in life she was a psychiatric social worker (she collaborated with Anna Freud, daughter by Sigmund Freud), on the death of his uncle in 1948 he moved to Sicily to take care of Casa Cuseni, having inherited it: initially he wanted to sell it and then return to England, instead he ended up falling in love with Taormina and Sicily, deciding to stay there for the rest of his life. Daphne ran Casa Cuseni welcoming paying guests, there are many illustrious names of artists, writers, well-known personalities who have stayed there: Danilo Dolci was one of these guests, and it is precisely about him that I wish to speak. He was born in 1924 in Sesana (Trieste), after a somewhat eventful life, in 1952 he moved to Trappeto (between Palermo and Trapani), a country among the poorest and most disadvantaged in Italy: that same year the first of numerous fasts, going to bed and fasting in the bed of a child who died of malnutrition, a protest that will end only when the authorities undertake to build a sewer. Danilo Dolci continues with numerous initiatives, from the publication of a book ("Banditi a Partinico", which makes public opinion aware of the poor living conditions of western Sicily, to this book and many others will follow), to the "strike at reverses ”, when the workers went on strike, hundreds of unemployed began to work to reactivate an abandoned municipal road, an initiative that was then stopped by the police; Dolci also initiates an activity of denunciation of the mafia phenomenon and its relations with politics. There are numerous certificates of esteem and solidarity that he receives from important personalities from Italy and abroad, but despite this, for others Danilo Dolci is a dangerous subversive, to be hindered, denigrated, locked up in prison. Yet Dolci does not pose as a guru, boss, or teacher, his working method is based on the conviction that change is based on the involvement and direct participation of those concerned, his idea of progress enhances local culture and skills; he tries, working closely with the people and the most disadvantaged and oppressed groups of western Sicily, to free the dormant creativity in every person, calling this research "maieutic", a term coming from philosophy, precisely from Socratic maieutics: it is "the 'art of the midwife ", every educational act is to bring to light all the inner potentialities of the one who wants to learn, like a mother who wants to give birth to her own child from her womb, so no to notions imparted a priori, yes to help the student to bring their knowledge to light, using dialogue as a tool; however, Socratic maieutics is unidirectional, while in Danilo Dolci's "reciprocal maieutics", knowledge comes out of experience and its sharing, therefore it presupposes the reciprocity of communication. During meetings with farmers and fishermen, the idea was born to build the dam on the Jato River, which is important for the economic development of the area, but also to remove a powerful weapon in the hands of the mafia, an instrument of power which controlled the few available water resources; however the request for "water for all" will be heavily hindered, popular mobilizations and long fasts will be necessary to finally see the project realized: now the dam exists, and others have been built, thus modifying the lives of thousands of people, with the development of numerous companies and cooperatives. Among the many activities of Dolci, thanks to the contribution of international experts, the experience of the Mirto Educational Center, attended by hundreds of children, should be mentioned. Returning to Daphne Phelps and Casa Cuseni, here is a lithograph by Tono Zancanaro, dedicated to the birth of one of Danilo Dolci's daughters, but, among the most important, there is a correspondence between the pacifist philosopher Bertrand Russel and Daphne Phelps, in which the English thinker invited Robert Kitson's niece to participate in the gatherings of progressive intellectuals and literary and scientific personalities of the time, among them, besides Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre and Carlo Levi, there was Danilo Dolci, sociologist, educator, still recognized today as one of the most important figures of nonviolence worldwide.
post Scriptum:
- the images with Danilo Dolci come from the Casa Cuseni archive: they are cuttings from original periodicals, often full pages, from English newspapers, carefully preserved by Miss Daphne Phelp; these images were also taken by photographing some pages of James McNeish's book, "Fire under the ashes - The life of Danilo Dolci";
- the photographs taken in various countries of Sicily, are prior to the covid-19 pandemic;
- thanks to the surgeon colleague dr. Franco Spadaro and his kind wife, Mrs. Mimma Cundari, owners of Casa Cuseni (declared in 1998, Italian National Monument), for their hospitality and availability, having made the Danilo Dolci archive available to me.
Una storia di Sicilia: il Gandhi siciliano (ma siciliano non era…).
Questo racconto fotografico, è connesso, almeno in parte, con quello precedente, il cui anello di congiunzione è rappresentato dalla nipote del pittore Robert Kitson, la signorina Daphne Phelps: lei nella vita era una assistente sociale psichiatrica (lei collaborava con Anna Freud, figlia di Sigmund Freud), alla morte dello zio nel 1948 si trasferì in Sicilia per occuparsi di Casa Cuseni, avendola ereditata: inizialmente la voleva vendere per poi ritornarsene in Inghilterra, invece finì con l’innamorarsi di Taormina e della Sicilia, decidendo di restarvi per il resto della sua vita. Daphne gestiva Casa Cuseni accogliendo ospiti paganti, numerosi sono i nomi illustri di artisti, scrittori, note personalità che vi hanno alloggiato: Danilo Dolci è stato uno di questi ospiti, ed è proprio di lui che desidero parlare. Egli nasce nel 1924 a Sesana (Trieste), dopo una vita un po’ movimentata, nel 1952 si trasferisce a Trappeto (tra Palermo e Trapani), un paese tra i più poveri e disagiati d’Italia: quello stesso anno inizia il primo di numerosi digiuni, coricandosi e digiunando nel letto di un bimbo morto per denutrizione, protesta che terminerà solo quando le autorità si impegneranno a costruire una fogna. Danilo Dolci prosegue con numerose iniziative, dalla pubblicazione di un libro (“Banditi a Partinico”, che mette a conoscenza dell’opinione pubblica delle misere condizioni di vita della Sicilia occidentale, a questo libro poi ne seguiranno molti altri), allo “sciopero alla rovescia”, quando i lavoratori fecero sciopero, centinaia di disoccupati si misero a lavorare per riattivare una strada comunale abbandonata, iniziativa però poi fermata dalla polizia; Dolci avvia anche una attività di denuncia del fenomeno mafioso e dei suoi rapporti con la politica. Numerosi sono gli attestati di stima e solidarietà che egli riceve da importanti personalità provenienti dall’Italia e dall’estero, ma nonostante ciò per altri Danilo Dolci è un pericoloso sovversivo, da ostacolare, denigrare, chiudere in prigione. Eppure Dolci non si atteggia né a santone, capo, od un maestro, il suo metodo di lavoro è basato sulla convinzione che il cambiamento è basato sul coinvolgimento e diretta partecipazione degli interessati, la sua idea di progresso valorizza la cultura e le competenze locali; egli cerca, lavorando a stretto contatto con la gente e le fasce più disagiate ed oppresse della Sicilia occidentale, di liberare la creatività sopita in ogni persona, chiamando tale ricerca “maieutica”, termine proveniente dalla filosofia, precisamente dalla maieutica socratica: è “l’arte della levatrice”, ogni atto educativo è far venire alla luce tutte le potenzialità interiori di colui che vuole imparare, al pari di una madre che vuol far nascere la propria creatura dal suo grembo, quindi no a nozioni impartite a priori, si ad aiutare lo studente a portare alla luce la propria conoscenza, usando il dialogo come strumento; però, la maieutica socratica è unidirezionale, mentre nella “maieutica reciproca” di Danilo Dolci, la conoscenza viene fuori dall’esperienza e dalla sua condivisione, quindi presuppone la reciprocità della comunicazione. Nel corso di riunioni con contadini e pescatori, nasce l’idea di costruire la diga sul fiume Jato, importante per lo sviluppo economico della zona, ma anche togliere un’arma potente in mano alla mafia, che faceva del controllo delle poche risorse idriche disponibili uno strumento di potere, però la richiesta di “acqua per tutti” verrà pesantemente ostacolata, saranno necessarie le mobilitazioni popolari, lunghi digiuni, per vedere infine realizzato il progetto: ora la diga esiste, ed altre sono state poi realizzate, modificando in tal modo la vita di migliaia di persone, con lo svilupparsi di numerose aziende e cooperative. Da menzionare, tra le tante attività di Dolci, grazie al contributo di esperti internazionali, l’esperienza del Centro Educativo di Mirto, frequentato da centinaia di bambini. Ritornando a Daphne Phelps e Casa Cuseni, qui è presente una litografia di Tono Zancanaro, dedicata alla nascita di una delle figlie di Danilo Dolci, ma, cosa tra le più importanti, esiste un carteggio tra il filosofo pacifista Bertrand Russel e Daphne Phelps, nel quale il pensatore inglese invitava la nipote di Robert Kitson a partecipare ai raduni di intellettuali progressisti e personalità letterarie e scientifiche dell’epoca, tra di loro, oltre Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre e Carlo Levi, c’era Danilo Dolci, sociologo, educatore, ancora oggi riconosciuto tra le figure di massimo rilievo della nonviolenza a livello mondiale.
post scriptum:
- le immagini con Danilo Dolci provengono dall'archivio di Casa Cuseni: sono ritagli di giornali originali dell'epoca, spesso pagine intere, provenienti da quotidiani inglesi, accuratamente conservati dalla signorina Daphne Phelp; tali immagini sono state realizzate fotografando anche alcune pagine del libro di James McNeish, "Fire under the ashes - The life of Danilo Dolci";
- le fotografie realizzate in diversi paesi della Sicilia, sono antecedenti alla pandemia da covid-19;
- si ringrazia il collega chirurgo dott. Franco Spadaro e la sua gentile consorte, signora Mimma Cundari, proprietari di Casa Cuseni (dichiarata nel 1998, Monumento Nazionale Italiano), per la loro ospitalità e disponibilità, avendo messo a mia disposizione l'archivio relativo a Danilo Dolci.
Book cases always make interesting subjects. But then add some nice warm sunlight and the books become even more interesting.

You can follow me here: www.instagram.com/metarix_studios/
No, that doesn't mean I'll stop posting on flickr! But with the 1000 photo restriction that they are putting into place, I thought it would be nice to expand onto a new platform. I'll be posting the same stuff on both accounts, but i'll be posting more bonus content on Instagram (such as WIP, non-lego stuff). If you guys have an account make sure to follow, so you don't miss out!
I've also recetely reached 700 followers on here, so thanks a lot for those that follow me! It really does mean a lot!
In addition now is a good of a time as any to also un-shamelessness promote my youtube channel. It doesn't have to do much with lego but I post Marvel, and Doctor Who content, so if you're into that you could subscribe to me here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCikCJ2MV3tXLvBnGD6-m51w?view_as=...
I'll be posting a top 10 personal favorite photos of 2018 near the end of the year as well, so be sure to keep an eye out for that!
PADDY: *Reading.* “And when the Wee, Small Bear came to look at his bed, there was the bolster in its place; and the pillow in its place upon the bolster; and upon the pillow was Goldilocks’ pretty little head.”
SCOUT: “Paddy! Paddy, what are you doing?” *Alarmed.*
PADDY: *Pauses reading.* “I’m reading a faerie tale to our new bear friends, Pearl, Sapphire and Flock. What does it look like, Scout?”
SCOUT: “But you can’t, Paddy!” *Stamps paw.*
PEARL: “Whyever not, Scout?” *Concerned.*
SAPPHIRE: “We asked Paddy to read us a faerie tale, Scout.” *Sad.* “Why can’t he?”
FLOCK: “Mama Kim told us that Paddy reads faerie tales very well, Scout, and he does.”
PADDY: “Why thank you, Flock.” *Blushes pink beneath plush fur.*
SCOUT: “Oh I agree, Flock! Paddy does read faerie tales very nicely, but he can’t read you that one!”
SAPPHIRE: “But I want to know what happens to the pretty little girl with the golden curls when the bears come home and find her in their bed. Hopefully they gobble her up for trespassing!” *Giggles.*
SCOUT: “Paddy you can’t read them that pro… prop…”
PADDY: “Propaganda, Scout?”
SCOYT: “Those lies about that no-good-break-and-enter-home-wrecker Goldilocks!” *Stamps paw.* “She was naughty!” *Nods head emphatically.*
PADDY: “But they aren’t lies, Scout. The faerie tale readily admits that she goes into the Three Bear’s house without asking, eats porridge that isn’t hers, sits in chairs that aren’t hers…”
SCOUT: “And breaks them with her fat bu…”
PADDY: “Scout!” *Looks seriously at Scout.* “And she sleeps in beds that aren’t hers either. I don’t see how that is propaganda, Scout.”
SCOUT: “The story says that she is a nice girl, but she isn’t! She was naughty!” *Stamps paw.*
FLOCK: “Well, naughty or not, we want to know whether the three bears eat her at the end of the story.” *Excited.*
PADDY: “I’m sorry Scout, but Pearl, Sapphire and Flock wanted me to read them Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You are outvoted on this occasion.”
SCOUT: “Well!” *Indignant.* “There is no accounting for taste! You should be reading a nice, wholesome faerie tale, like Little Red Riding Hood.” *Nods seriously.*
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 2nd of February is "bears", and this is a theme that is made for me! If you follow my photostream, you will be familiar with Paddy (my Paddington Bear whom I have had since I was two years old) and his friend Scout, as they often feature in stories and adventures on Happy Teddy Bear Tuesday and sometimes other days of the week, such as this photo for today’s theme. Pearl, Sapphire and Flock (the little bears) are a more recent addition to my ever growing bear family. Scout had a vehement dislike of Goldilocks, as you can see, so for the theme, I couldn’t resist having Paddy read the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
My Paddington Bear came to live with me in London when I was two years old (many, many years ago). He was hand made by my Great Aunt and he has a chocolate coloured felt hat, the brim of which had to be pinned up by a safety pin to stop it getting in his eyes. The collar of his mackintosh is made of the same felt. He wears wellington boots made from the same red leather used to make the toggles on his mackintosh.
He has travelled with me across the world and he and I have had many adventures together over the years. He is a very precious member of my small family.
Scout was a gift to Paddy from my friend. He is a Fair Trade Bear hand knitted in Africa. His name comes from the shop my friend found him in: Scout House. He tells me that life was very different where he came from, and Paddy is helping introduce him to many new experiences. Scout catches on quickly, and has proven to be a cheeky, but very lovable member of our closely knit family.
Pearl and Sapphire are both little Russ Bears, and Flock a vintage posable bear who arrived on Christmas Day 2023. They travelled from Mama Kim's house in Alabama all the way here. All of them are sweet little bears who are tenacious and a bit cheeky, but full of love and snuffly kisses most of all.
Well I've been quiet recently and that has to do with school. I'm now in college and I don't have time to build like before. I have to take a break from Flickr, but I will be back for school breaks as much as I can. Don't worry though, Kamino is in the process of being worked on and I will post it soon, within the nest couple of days. This is just something I took a picture of since I'm visiting home for the weekend. I promise I'm not leaving Flickr, I just simply must focus on school. Get excited! I'm gonna unleash Kamino, and it's by far my biggest accomplishment.
Read the interview with Amelia on my blog:
http://www.loveablan.com/blog/?p=580
And check out her Flickr photo stream:
Read the paper. Play with your phone. Gaze at your shoes. Browse the advertising. Anything but looking at another passenger. That's just rude.
Sorry for the amount of inactivity on my page recently, this is because of school and my new hobby: stop motion. So I quickly made this, I will post more pictures soon. :)
I read somewhere online that today is Squirrel Appreciation Day, so I thought it would be rude not to share one of the many squirrel photos I took this weekend.
This red squirrel has just finished all the nuts I put out for it and is looking for more. I love the expression here - it looks like it's begging for food.
I always try and fit in a chapter or two of my current book during the course of each day ~ a quiet hour and a cup of coffee is hard to beat!
I've used a "real". look for this shot but my reading (of books) is done on my Kindle Paperwhite ..... apologies to real book readers ;-)
Our Daily Challenge ~ Good To Read ....
Thanks to everyone who views this photo, adds a note, leaves a comment and of course BIG thanks to anyone who chooses to favourite my photo .... thanks to you all.
