Near one of BNSF’s shops in Galesburg, a Chicago, Burlington & Quincy trailer and a Burlington Northern America container + chassis sit as storage. Odds are this is one of the only places you can find something like this!

We passed these three stacked trucks on the interstate. They looked like they were mating. I thought it was pretty weird
I'm having a great time with the leftover stacked fabrics! I'm going to try the five in the picture on the lower right, using the ten degree ruler. The five quilt tops shown are the ones I used these fabrics in originally.
Carmen stacks her winter wood... She layers the wood - two rows of soft fir which comes from the land, and then two rows of oak. The fir is mostly for kindling and starting the fire and the oak is also split into smaller pieces which burn hot and heat up the cookstove. Carmen has used a cookstove for thirty years. She cooks all her meals on it and the cookstove warms the house and saves on fuel costs.
We like thick layers when we 3D-print!
We 3D-modelled a candy bowl and a stackable box to test 3D-printing objects using thick layers. Normally the diameter of a 3D-printer’s nozzle is 0.4 mm. We drilled this bore up to 1.0 mm - which allowed for more plastic flow and thicker layers.
The results are stronger objects and also an exaggeration of the step features of the layers. Surface smoothness is not so relevant for many objects and by making thick layers they can become a nice feature - specially for decorative.
You can download the STL files for our candy bowl and stacking box below.
Love this Reading Stack idea. It's like a little diary of my reading. With that in mind, here is a list of books I'm aspiring to read in the next while.
Gypsy Guitar by David McFadden - I've read this poetry collection before and will likely read it again and again. The one with the elephants is wonderful...
Mandala Symbolism by Jung - something to apply to my bead making perhaps, perhaps more
The Madman and the Professor by Simon Winchester - the story behind the making of the Oxford English Dictionary
On Writing Well by William Zinsser - something to help me hone by own writing skills
Sex and Death to the Age 14 by Spalding Gray - just listened to his monologue 'Monster in a Box' so will follow up with this
The Poems of Catullus - these poems by the Roman born ?84 B.C., bitchy, erotic, wistful, could have been written yesterday
Singing At the Whirlpool by Miodrag Pavlovic - a collection of poetry
Fludd by Hilary Mantel, to follow up 'Beyond Black' from my last stack, which I loved
Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson, some more mod speculative (science) fiction
Flashman in the Great Game by George MacDonald Fraser - another installment of the adventures of the cowardly racist, sexist bastard - a decidedly post-colonial view of the British Empire, and a great rousing adventures so far
Going Postal by Terry Pratchett - more Pratchett!
Pigs Have Wings by P.G. Wodehouse - more of the Blandings, light spright and effortless
So I guess we'll see which ones I actually get around to reading.
I tried focus stacking for the first time this weekend - used PS to blend the layers and come up with the composite image
For those not familiar with the concept, you take a number of images of the same subject with different focus points, then combine them into one where the subject apears much clearer.
It's useful in macro shots where the depth of field can be so shallow that just portions of your subjects end up in focus.
I could have used a lower aperture, but I wanted to be able to see the difference in the processed image.
East and westbound BNSF stack trains fly through Naperville kicking up snow on a very cold Groundhog's Day in 2013.

I'm not sure what function this building once performed. However, it is a welcoming sight as visitors enter the island of Galveston. The magestic stacks are readily visible.
I decided on another octagon for the alternate block, but with just four stacks in it. I was playing around with how to set these and I would be happy with either way shown on the left, but I'll probably use the design from the top left. I laid out some more in that design, where you need to match the stacks around the original octagon, so the alternate octagon can't be sewn together until you get all four sections placed. I haven't decided on the corners for the octagons yet......
After the ice storm which hit Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Kentucky this January, thousands of trees were left limbless, with layers and layers or branches distributed across the ground. Some branches were cut up into firewood.
Just a sampling of my book collection:
"Mother West Wind 'Where' Stories" by Thornton W. Burgess - 1918
"Fifth Reader" by Emma Miller Bolenius - 1919
"The Sketch Book" by Washington Irving - 1906
"Last of the Mohicans" by James Fenimore Cooper - 1905
"Tanglewood Tales" by Nathaniel Hawthorne - 1898
"The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan - 1901
Rainroom by RedBlackProduction
Heya!
I had the idea recently of doing a Rainmeter theme based on Lightroom, as I really like the look of it's user interface. As I'm starting to get the hang of Rainmeter I feel compelled to add more and more information as I pick up bits and pieces! Bars and meters everywhere!!!! More functionality!!! At the same time I don't really like a cluttered look and I don't particularly want RSS feeds clamouring for my attention all the time . . So I thought maybe I could create a modular set of docks and have some buttons to switch them in and out as needed.
I've been using this setup for a while now and am really enjoying it's functionality, especially combined with Launchy, Standalone Stacks and CD Art Display. This is Rainroom in full flight, with all the modules active . . .
. . The black outer frame is always on and is meant to fade from the windows taskbar at the to the slightly transparent black at the bottom. On the bottom left is the module controller, in the center is currently a very familiar looking clock setup which is flanked by two small docks. These docks contain the folders I access 99% of the time! Left click opens the folder in explorer while right click launches a Standalone Stack. To the bottom right is a little Twitter input box! Utilising SendTweet by the talented Mr JSMorley, when it's clicked on it turns opaque and offers a text input for tweet tweet tweeting away . . . and it fits in seamlessly! I was thinking of using Taskkill.exe and making that little button on the bottom bottom right right kill Raininput, acting as a 'cancel tweet' button [for when I'm too lazy to use the keyboard :]
On the inner left is the CAD cradle module, ToDo list module [controlled by launchy :], and . . . well, something that wasn't finished in this sceenshot . . a Task Launcher module for a couple of tasks I run regularly: system maintenance scan, defrag, backup flash drive contents to pre-designated folder on hard drive etc.
On the inner right is the System Performance module, RSS reader module utilising a combined feed of my personal faves, Drives module incorporating histogram, activity lights and drive launcher, and finally a Twitter feed module . . .
The iconic rock stacks of Old Harry Rocks stand proudly against the vast English Channel, weathered by time and tide.

A stack of crushed cars, seen at the junk yard's "Customer Appreciation Day," May 9, 2009.
Feel free to add any notes with guesses on vehicle ID, as I didn't get all the model names!
My first attempt at stacking, phil helped me along the way =]
Ended up using the torch lit test shot instead of the strobed shot
as it brought the colours of the train out more.
About a ten minute stack.

South Stack is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular lighthouses, South Stack Lighthouse. It has a height of 41 metres (135 feet). It has a maximum area of 7 acres.
Until 1828 when an iron suspension bridge was built, the only means of crossing the deep water channel on to the island was in a basket which was suspended on a hemp cable. The suspension bridge was replaced in 1964, but by 1983 the bridge had to be closed to the public, due to safety reasons. A new aluminium bridge was built and the lighthouse was reopened for public visits in 1997. Thousands of people flock to the lighthouse every year, thanks to the continued public transport service from Holyhead's town centre.
There are over 400 stone steps down to the footbridge (and not, as local legend suggests, 365), and the descent and ascent provide an opportunity to see some of the 4,000 nesting birds that line the cliffs during the breeding season. The cliffs are part of the RSPB South Stack Cliffs bird reserve, based at Elin's Tower.
The Anglesey Coastal Path passes South Stack, as does the Cybi Circular Walk. The latter has long and short variants; the short walk is 4 miles long and takes around two hours to complete. Travelling from the Breakwater Country Park, other sites along the way are the North Stack Fog Signal station, Caer y Tŵr, Holyhead Mountain and Tŷ Mawr Hut Circles.
