Dave tries his luck at being a human screen.
Julie Zhuo, the Design Manager at Facebook, got on her soapbox to share how her teams use quantitative data to inform their decisions.
The ZURB Soapbox lecture series is a new venture ZURB is embarking on where we invite entrepreneurs, designers, managers, movers, shakers and friends of ZURB to speak to a like-minded audience and spar with them afterward.
ZURB is a close-knit team of interaction designers and strategists that help companies design better (www.zurb.com).
Challenge: Invent your own filter! Shoot through something translucent or transparent. Make a photo with a unique look.
I took a window screen cut out and mounted it on a boom. I then asked my parents to sit closely behind the screen while I triggered a speedlight 27 degrees off to the left.
Last but not least of the day's visits was Wyverstone. After four locked churches I'd given up hope of finding any more open with little intention of trying anywhere else on my ride back, it was now nearly half seven in the evening and I just wanted to get back and relax. However my journey was interrupted by road closures (not for the first time during my Suffolk excursions either) and I groaned at the thought of another diversion adding how many more miles when I was already flagging. However the diverted route would take me through Wyverstone and I recalled it was a church worth a look and right alongside my route so it'd be silly not to stop for a quick look and an evening-light snap of the exterior at least. On arrival I thought I'd at least try the door for closure's sake, only to find to my amazement it opened!
St George's is a small but attractive building, a 14th century chancel and nave (with a 15th century clerestorey adding to its height) and a fairly squat but rather charming west tower. Inside it feels surprisingly spacious for a small church and all is light with clear-glazed windows and whitewashed walls. Two items however particularly caught me eyes looking east and I was pleasantly surprised to recognise them from Simon's Suffolk churches site as features of interest on my wishlist, and here they were in front of me, which felt like a real bonus, especially considering it was now mid-evening!
The most important antiquarian feature here is the base of the 15th century rood screen, which is most unusual in Suffolk as the imagery on it is carved rather than painted (though originally would have been coloured too). Small scenes and figure groups are carved into niches along the front but are sadly heavily mutilated, some being unrecognisable or missing altogether. Still, enough remains to indicate this was something special, and while we can only regret it being reduced to this state we can also be thankful anything of it survived at all, given how many other examples have vanished without trace. The nave also has a few fine fragments of medieval glass and a handsome font at the west end.
The other feature that made my eyes light up was the east window, a beautiful early 20th century work depicting the Ascension of Christ by the artist WIlliam Glasby. I'd known it from photos and seen similar designs by the same artist elsewhere, but this one is quite special.
Wyverstone church is well worth a short visit and it was a delight to find it open and welcoming, even so late in the day!
The upper part of the 15th century rood screen, converted at some point after the Reformation into a most attractive west gallery at the opposite end of the nave. What we see must have formerly comprised the rood loft, a very rare survival adorned with a row of 22 saints along with a central figure of Christ. Originally this must have stood before the chancel arch with the screen proper below which was likely composed of open wooden tracery and a further row of painted saints at the base (all since lost). The supporting posts may have once framed small parclose chapels with altars on either side of a central chancel doorway. The paintings aren't of the highest quality but are well preserved and a remarkable survival nevertheless.
St John the Baptist's at Strensham is a Churches Conservation Trust gem and one of Worcestershire's most rewarding churches. The exterior is unusual in its lime-wash finish, the gleaming white tower being visible as a landmark for some distance. Dismissed by Pevsner for being of little architectural merit it nonetheless contains much of interest from ancient woodwork to the splendid Post Reformation monuments dominating the chancel.
Best of all is the unique medieval treasure at the west end, what now looks like a west gallery but was surely recycled from the 15th century rood screen with a continuous row of painted saints stretching the entire width of the church that must have come from the former rood loft. The paintings, a rare survival in the Midlands, have more in common with those found on West Country screens rather than more refined East Anglian ones, but are a wonderful reminder of how colourful our ancient churches once were.
My first attempt to see this church years ago ended in frustration: the church is kept locked but directions are given to a key hanging on a brick pillar outside a nearby house which was missing on my previous visit. This time happily the key was back where it belonged, and my lengthy visit at least saved another visitor the minor inconvenience of seeking it out.

What a fantastic day as science fiction and movie fans from all over the North East got to meet at North Shields. It was a fantastic day and my personal highlight was a meeting with the legendary David Warner. Loved meeting up with old friends and meeting some new ones too
The 4th Floor of the Chattanooga Public Library presents Zines & Screens, monthly back-to-back workshops on the last Saturday of the month to keep your creative juices flowing.
12pm-1:30pm
SCREEN PRINTING
This laid back screen printing workshop is for adults who would like to come play with squeegees, silk screens, ink and brushes. Bring in something to screen (a shirt, table cloth, pillow case, scarf, party invitations, whatever!) and create a stencil, screen and some sweet new artwork on the 4th Floor.
2pm-4pm
ZINE MAKING
We'll work with members of the Society of Ink and Paper to learn about indy publishing and zines, while creating some simple zines using available materials in the library's zine making lab.
my favorite mac shapeshifter theme ever (fear platinum). as gorgeous as the default mac os x interface is, i am the type of person who needs a change now and then. weird themes and then back again.
Infall. This is the screen chamber referred to in one of the pics of a newspaper article relating that Contractor Rose was in within 2 weeks of completing the project when he built this.
Screen built by Bishop John arundel in late C15. Dismantled (but stored) by Victorians and re-erected as a memorial to Bishop George Bell in 1961.
Something very hypnotic about watching a disembodied mouse flit about a screen in the middle of a train station.

SS Peter & Paul at Long Compton is externally one of Warwickshire's most attractive churches, a handsome Cotswold building on the county's southernmost tip. Its churchyard is entered memorably through one of the most picturesque entrances anywhere, what appears to be a huge two-storey lychgate, but is actually the last survivor of a row of thatched cottages, completely open at ground level.
The church itself is a largely 14th century building, altered and extended in the following century, with extra storeys added to nave and west tower. The chancel was mostly rebuilt in the Victorian period but the unusual lean-to chapel on its south side (now used as a vestry) fortunately was retained.
The interior of the building comes as a bit of a disappointment after the promising exterior, as little of the medieval period remains, the furnishings and fittings being almost entirely Victorian. There is some medieval stonework apparently reused however in the pulpit, and a very worn 14th century lady's effigy lies in the porch.
The church is beautifully maintained nonetheless and kept open and welcoming for visitors.
