Do you remember the family fun game of Beetle Drive? Or maybe you played it at your local social group or sport's club? Roll the die to collect the various body parts of your beetle to win. The beetles are each made of a head, thorax, abdomen, two eyes, two antennae and six legs.
In this LEGO version, you need a beetle for each player, with everyone selecting their own colour of a LEGO beetle. You also have a communal die and a prompt sheet to remind you which number on the die corresponds to which body part. The beetles are robustly made, fits easily and snuggly together, and are easy to break up again ready to play another round.
The body parts correspond to the rolls of the die as follows:
1 - Eyes
2 - Antennae
3 - Legs
4 - Abdomen
5 - Head
6 - Thorax
Instructions:
1. Everyone selects a beetle and breaks it up into its various body parts. Decide who is going to go first.
2. Each player rolls the die in turn, one roll per turn. They need to roll a 6 to start. If they are successful, they move their beetle's thorax into their playing space. Play then passes to their left.
3. Once a 6 has been rolled and a thorax obtained, players can add to it by rolling a 3 (leg), 4 (abdomen), or a 5 (head). One leg is added for each roll of a 3, only two legs can be added to the thorax.
4. Once a 4 (abdomen) has been rolled, that player is now also able to add four additional legs to their beetle by rolling 3s.
5. Once a 5 (head) has been rolled, that player is now also able to add to their beetle by rolling a 1 (eye) or 2 (antenna). Again, only one eye or antenna is added for each successful roll.
6. The winner is the player who completes their beetle first.

Technology image of the week:
A prototype version of a self-sustaining life-support system, intended to allow humans to live in space indefinitely, is seen in Spain’s University Autònoma of Barcelona.
This is the pilot plant of the international ESA-led Micro-Ecological Life Support System Alternative, or MELiSSA, a mini-ecosystem behind airtight glass.
Today, International Space Station crews must be resupplied from Earth, but such supply lines will become impractical as explorers venture farther out into space.
Instead, the 11-nation MELiSSA seeks to perfect a regenerative life-support system that could supply astronauts with all the oxygen, water and food they require.
The pilot plant hosts a multi-compartment loop with a light-powered bioreactor and a culture of oxygen-producing algae to keep ‘crews’ of three rats alive and comfortable for months at a time. While the algae yield oxygen and trap carbon dioxide, the rats do exactly the reverse.
A MELiSSA-based experiment is being run on the International Space Station. In May, experts will gather to discuss MELiSSA and closed-loop life support systems, along with topics such as air, water and waste recycling and food production.

The queen had cut his supply of gold, but still he had to make another expedition down below, that Dragon, That gold and those mysterious cave-crystals it was just to teasing for his mind...
...of cause he did make some money from selling his sleazy books mostly to women of the upper class, (since the lower classes coudn´t read) still, that was a small market and the work of writing every single letter in a book was far to much hard work under dim candle light, it took ages and ages and add a few more ages, time he could have spent to experimenting in his lab, reading his ancient book or go out and explore...
How, could that simple woman (Esmeralda the Queen) not pay for his expeditions any longer, then he had two genius ideas at once, he was thinking of books and women...
The first idea was an idea on how to press letters in books all at once with a machine, this Idea soon faded in his misty ancient head...
The second idea was even better, Women, He had a charming nature that worked on these strange creatures...
...He started making two commercial boards full of heart-shaped he made out of an invention he called plastacine a rubbery substance easily shaped in to different forms when heated the right way...
Then he collected all his musical instruments a flute, a lute, and a strange bellow-sack with weird pipes sticking out of it at random, he had gotten this exotic instrument from one of the queens Highland Guards, the one who was wearing a skirt and ate deep-fried intestin voluntary on his day off and zipped a brown liquid he called the water of life...
(some time later)
it is early morning about four o´clock outside the city quarters of the women who had lost their husbands in battle a strange sound woke the inhabitants it sounded like someone had blown air in to a pig and then let it go to fly by it self in the air...
then these was a almost silent flute playing, then some poetry read from a raspy ancient voice!
"Thau woman, you besutten up on ye window, how much of a rose you smell, make your rosy parts open and squirt into mine direction a stream of gilded gold as bright as Mother Sol herself!"
Then it was lute music and romantic tunes sung...
all this in the early mornings when the lonely women was still in their beds, when the looked out of their windows, the sawthe make standing in his "special romantic" wizards-hat and beside him plaques with a written text:
I the town-mage, is in need of your support, if you like my poetry, verse and music, take a groat from your keep and trow it on the ground, if you hit my chart you get to get a piece of impromptu poetry read for just you, if you hit the rug I will play a tune for just you...
if you hit the pot I will share you bed the rest of the morning for a small fee...
The mage´s plan worked out quite well, he managed to collect quite a lot of money, which was later confiscated by the sheriff and his bailiffs, also the old man got to spend some time in the jail, once again!
Most of my slides from the protest came out terrifically overblown, a consequence of trying to strike a balance between protesters silhouetted against a bright sky. Between color cast and exposure though, this is by far one of my favorite images.
These young Indigenous women helped organise a rally in support of the families of First Nations peoples whose children were stolen from them and placed in what are ironically called "residential schools" that operated in Canada from 1838 until as recently as 1996. These schools were designed to assimilate First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, aged 4-16, into "western" civilisation.
In essence, they were concentration camps in which these children were abused, undernourished, fed rotting food and received little to no health care if they became sick. An unknown number died and they are slowly being discovered in unmarked graves. Most often, families were not informed their children had died. The total discovered so far has been 1148. These schools were financed by the federal government and administered by "christian churches".
This is a shameful period of Canada's history and all Canadians should be disgusted, outraged and angered by this, for all intents and purposes, government and religious genocide. There have been calls to prosecute the government, as well as the christian churches for crimes against humanity.

This build is specifically inspired by the novel "Ilse Witch", the first in a trilogy aptly entitled "The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara". These books are part of Terry Brook's classic "Shannara" series of novels (some of which were adapted into a popular TV series as well) - this was the series that proved fantasy could be accessible and commercially successful with mainstream audiences after the breakout success of Tolkien's Middle Earth novels. Unlike many other fantasy series, it's set in a world which sees substantial technological and magical innovation over the course of 32 novels and thousands of years.
The Jerle Shannara is the fastest and most advanced airship ever built, and her crew of the Jerle Shannara are voyaging west from the Elven capital city of Arborlon, across the Blue Divide, to the uncharted continent of Parkasia, in search of the lost Blue Elfstones, guided only by a mysterious map washed ashore with a lost prince, their last known user.
The crew have been selected from across the many races of the Four Lands, for their unique talents.
• From Paranor, the Druid's Keep, comes one-armed Walker Boh, the last of the druid order.
• From the Southlands, comes highlander Quentin Leah, heir to the mysterious Sword of Leah, and his childhood friend Bek Rowe.
• From the Eastlands, comes the dwarf woodsman Panax, and the mysterious shapeshifter Truhls Rohk.
• From the Westland elves, come Prince Ahren Elessedil, Captain Ard Patrinell of the Home Guard, the tracker Tamis.
• From the Wing Hove, the elf Hunter Predd and his mighty roc, Obsidian.
• From the Rover communities of the Westlands, the ship's captain Redden "Big Red" Alt Mer, his twin sister Rue "Little Red" Meridian, and the mysterious seer Ryer Ord Star.
The airships of the Four Lands are solar-powered and require active thrust to stay aloft. The sails, called "light sheaths", absorb solar energy, which is channeled through special rigging, the "radian draws", into the parse tubes which house the diapson crystals. It is these crystals which store the solar energy and distribute it through the ship's thrusters.
The Jerle Shannara comes with many play features, making it not only a display piece for adult collectors, but also a fun playset!
• The captain's cabin in the front of the ship has been converted into two smaller cabins with folding bunks to account for the unusual crew. Captain "Big Red" shares the port cabin with Prince Ahren Elessedil, and his sister, "Little Red", shares the starboard cabin with Ryer Ord Star. A privacy curtain separates the two cabins on the aft side of the mast, and sliding panels allow access to a shared washroom in the fore of the cabin.
• A removable platform between the main hull and port pontoon provides landing space for Obsidian to roost between scouting flights.
• Other crew members can wrap themselves in their cloaks and sleep in the pontoons.
• The ship is armed with a complement of ballistae to defend against hostile airships, and the ramps may be lowered to send over a boarding party.
• The galley occupies the center of the ship and features a long table where the crew can dine together, or study their maps and charts.
• The storage room in the aft of the ship has fresh water, food, the armory, and spare parts to make repairs on the long voyage.
• The rope ladder may be raised and lowered to take on supplies and passengers.
• The ship's wheel in the pilot box really controls the thrusters on either side of the ship's rudder, and the capstan hauls up the dual anchors!
• The masts are grippable so crew members can climb up into the rigging.
• Obsidian's wings fold and unfold realistically to move between flying and roosting positions.
Set consists of approximately 2700pcs, including 12 minifigures. The ship is quite spacious and this number of figures does not feel crowded - as you can see from the renderings, they spread out quite nicely.
A few more additions to the collection from recent photos, more to come.

Hello This is my idea based on the TaleSpin an (animated television series) in 1990.
It features characters adapted from Disney's 1967 animated feature The Jungle Book.
The series takes place in the fictional town of Cape Suzette in the 1930s.
Higher for Hire, originally called Baloo's Air Service, is a "one plane" delivery service in Cape Suzette delivering cargos to different areas of the world. Their cargo has included fresh produce, fragile wares, ornaments, artifacts, and other incredible items.
In one of the legendary adventures of the team with the famous plane Sea Duck of the company Higher for Hire, our friends got ambushed by Don Karnage’s air pirates. Through a severe storm, the plane crash landed onto an unmapped island!
In order to survive, the crew uses parts from the cargo in order to make tools: harpoons, fishing rods and accessories, including a raft, a fire signal on the edge of the rock and an SOS message on the sand, so they can survive while exploring the island.
A great ancient secret is hidden inside the waterfall!
Maybe a very old ancestor of Don Karnage?
Time is running out... and maybe Don Karnage’s gang will locate them and steal their precious cargo.
However, the team has with them the best mechanic possible, cape Suzette! And with a big variety of available tools combined with what the island’s natural resources, they can reassemble the plane and escape!!!

Small Business Saturday, Shopping Small and supporting Local in Baker City, Oregon
One of the best ways to experience a community is by visiting the locally owned independent businesses that reflect the unique and local character of the community. This weekend was a great start to what is definitely a different Christmas season. With lots of COVID precautions in place it was great to see so many folks out spreading holiday cheer and supporting local this weekend for black Friday and Small Business Saturday in Downtown Baker City
The small towns of Baker County offer a cornucopia of local and independent small businesses, many featuring locally crafted products that are made in, and in some cases can only be found in Baker County.
Baker City's historic downtown is one of the largest intact turn of the 20th century historic districts in the American West with over 100 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. today the downtown has been lovingly restored and the historic district is now a thriving downtown home to numerous art galleries, restaurants, micro breweries and local independently owned shops, making it the perfect destination for celebrating the holidays and shopping small unique businesses.
For more information about historic downtown Baker City and other small towns throughout Baker County Oregon visit the Baker County Tourism website at www.travelbakercounty.com
