Oh Fairyland, you know my weakness. Littlefee Ante was my first bjd and she is still one of my very favorite molds, I love her so much in fact that I already have the pukifee and the pukipuki of her as well. I had been wanting a second minifee for a while to keep my Miyu company and well this lovely lady is going to be impossible to resist for me.
I reduced the brightness in one of the promotional photos so I could see all the lovely details.
I'll definitely be getting her as a basic (with face up) some time in the future but at the moment I have other priorities ie. the Lati event plus I still have one more payment on my pukifee Vanilla to make plus I want a Sentimental Noon dal like burning at the moment.

Yup...Ice cream is a major weakness of mine, especially when it comes in a Friendly's cup and has Reese's Pieces in it. I am guilty on many nights eating some at way too late of an hour. It's a fun way to end a long day tho and it gets me through editing sessions.
Thanks for viewing!

Tag 224: Schwachstelle Netzteil.
Heute fiel mein 460 Watt Netzteil aus - einfach so. In meinem Umfeld erlebte ich in den letzten Monaten mehrere starke PC-Netzteile die ohne Überlastung einfach k.o. gingen. Das Netzteil scheint eine grundsätzliche qualitative Schwachstelle bei PCs zu sein. Gott sei Dank hatte ich zufällig ein Reserve-Netzteil zu Hause.
Day 224: Weakness power supply.
Today my 460 Watt power supply become inoperative - without any reason. In my surrounding I noticed in the last months several strong PC power supplys which became k.o. without any overload. Power supplies seems to be a fundamental qualitative weakness of PCs. Thank God that I had occasional a spare power supply at home.
Mirit Ben Nun: Shortness of breath
'Shortness of breath' is not only a sign of physical weakness, it is a metaphor for a mental state of strong desire that knows no repletion; more and more, an unbearable glut, without repose. Mirit Ben Nun's type of work on the other hand requires an abundance of patience. This is a Sisyphean work (requiring hard labor) of marking lines and dots, filling every empty millimeter with brilliant blots. Therefore we are facing a paradox or a logical conflict. A patient and effortful work that stems from an urgent need to cover and fill, to adorn and coat. Her craft of layering reaches a state of a continuous ceremonial ritual.
This ritual digests every object into itself - useful or discarded -- available and ordinary or rare and exceptional -- they submit and devote to the overlay work. Mirit BN gathers scrap off the streets -- cardboard rolls of fabric, assortments of wooden boards and pieces, plates and planks -- and constructs a new link, her own syntax, which she alone is fully responsible for. The new combination -- a type of a sculptural construction -- goes through a process of patching by the act of painting.
In fact Mirit regards her three dimensional objects as a platform for painting, with a uniform continuity, even if it has obstacles, mounds and valleys. These objects beg her to paint, to lay down colors, to set in motion an intricate weave of abstract patterns that at times finds itself wandering the contours of human images and sometimes -- not. In those cases what is left is the monotonous activity of running the patterns, inch by inch, till their absolute coverage, till a short and passing instant of respite and than on again to a new onset.
Next to this assembly of garbage and it's recycling into 'painted sculptures' Mirit offers a surprising reunion between her illustrated objects and so called cheap African sculpture; popular artifacts or articles that are classified in the standard culture as 'primitive'.
This combination emphasizes the difference between her individualistic performance and the collective creation which is translated into cultural clichés. The wood carved image creates a moment of peace within the crowded bustle; an introverted image, without repetitiveness and reverberation. This meeting of strangers testifies that Mirit' work could not be labeled under the ´outsiders art´ category. She is a one woman school who is compelled to do the art work she picked out to perform. Therefore she isn't creating ´an image´ such as the carved wooden statues, but she produces breathless ´emotional jam' whose highest values are color, motion, beauty and plenitude. May it never lack, neither diluted, nor dull for even an instant

Mr J. H. Duffin, eldest son of Mr Hugh Duffin, one of the City Council's foreman, residing in Market Square died this morning. At the time of his death he was nineteen years of age. The cause of death was rheumatism, which latterly developed weakness of the heart. Deceased was president of St. Patrick's Old Boys' Club, and a past president of the local juvenile branch of the H.A.C.B. Society. He was widely known and respected by a large circle of friends.

DEATH IN COUNCIL YARD.
DUE TO NATURAL CAUSES
An adjourned inquest was held yesterday by Mr. W. R. McKean, S.M., touching the death of Mr. Alfred J. Duffin, a master plumber, residing at 11, Adelaide Street, who collapsed at the City Council office in Patteson Street on Wednesday afternoon.
John P. Williams, a clerk in the City Council's office, Patteson Street, stated that he heard someone fall, and through a door saw deceased, who had, he thought, fainted. Witness went to his assistance, and telephoned for a doctor, who came about five minutes later. The doctor pronounced life to be extinct.
Dr. D. N. W. Murray stated that as a result of a post-mortem examination he was of opinion that death was due to syncope, following upon, acute pneumonia ; and oldema of the lung. A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned.

LONG AND LOYAL SERVICE.
THE LATE MR. DUFFIN.
TRIBUTE FROM CITY COUNCIL.
Appreciative reference was made at the meeting of the City Council last evening to the services of the late Mr. H. Duffin, stable foreman, who had been in the service of the council for 43 years.
The Mayor, Sir James Gunson, moved that the council extend to the widow and family of the late Mr. Duffin its deep sympathy, and place on record its appreciation of the very capable and loyal service rendered by the deceased. The Mayor added that all who knew the late Mr. Duffin appreciated his great qualities, for in his own sphere he was without an equal.
The motion was carried in silence.
In officially advising the council of Mr. Duffin's death, the city engineer recommended that, in view of Mr. Duffin's long service with the corporation, which he served with zeal and integrity, the council should do what might be in its power for the widow. This matter was referred to the Works Committee for consideration.

"My weaknesses have always been food and men - in that order." Dolly Parton
A dear friend of mine asked if I could photograph his Dolly Parton doll--so of course I said yes! Dolly is such a fun person (and a great doll too!)
Here's a montage of three pictures I snapped on my way home today. They're not art by any means, but they show a couple of the T500's strengths and weaknesses.
Strength: SuperSteadyShot. All of these are taken on full auto with image stabilisation enabled. The two images with flags have an exposure time of one second. Even though camera shake is apparent, I'd say it's amazingly little of it considering the 1 second shutter speed. In the snow picture I can't see any shake worth mentioning (shutter speed 1/10 second).
Weakness: White balance. Two of them are taken from the same angle, one horizontal, the other vertical. One has an orange glow, the other green. That the auto white balance isn't spot on here I'm not surprised by, but I'm a little surprised that the T500 chooses two different white balance settings in to consecutive shots. But take a look at the third: Here's the white balance as correct as it can be (although I guess it's easier to determine what should be snow white in this picture).
Worth noting: When using full auto, the T500 doesn't seem to want to go above ISO 400 -- even when exposure time reaches one second as in two of the examples above.
Also: Some lens flare in the snow/lamp example. (See also my mini review of the cam)

Some background:
The JGSF’s Type 01 “Shin-Hei” military Labor was a derivative of the highly successful civil HL-98 “Hercules 21” construction labor manufactured by Hishii Heavy Industries, which itself was a thorough development of the HL-97 “Bulldog”. Following an accident with a "Bulldog'' in 1998 the new model adopted an electronically controlled suspension, auto speed control, and a canopy system that eliminated the vibration, noise, and poor riding comfort that were the weaknesses of early two-legged Labors. Another novelty was the HL-98’s completely sealed cockpit with VR view of the surroundings for the pilot which offered highly improved crew protection and comfort and also allowed operations in potentially hazardous environment.
With these upgrades the HL-98 became the industrial standard for 2nd generation Labors, being one of the company's best-selling products. This machine was furthermore a priority product into which all of Hishii's state-of-the-art technology was poured into, and “Hercules” became a household name for construction Labors in the late Nineties. There was plenty of consideration for the user in all aspects, such as the reshaped cockpit with an innovative virtual reality interface that made cabin windows obsolete, what also improved driver protection. In addition to the electrification of the actuators, which was a typical feature of the same generation Labors, the battery used a nickel-metal hydride system, which was later followed by the third-generation lithium-ion system. Of course, the reliability and price/performance ratio that Hishii fans always insisted on were excellent, and even today, some say that it is "The best in terms of ease of use at the field level.''
Hishii's typical simplicity and robustness, with attention to safety and security, was what made the HL-98 machine a hit on the civil Labor market, and its versatility quickly drew attention of the Japanese Self Defense Ground Forces. At that time the JGSDF was looking for a light to medium multi-purpose Labor that could be used for both construction and logistics (primarily for engineer/pioneering units) as well as for armed frontline use, in a secondary role. In service it would partly replace the 1st generation AL-97 Atlas and AL-97B-var Hannibal Labors, being lighter, easier to transport and more economical to operate and maintain.
With its robust design and relatively compact dimensions the HL-98 offered a very good basis for further developments and within only two years Hishii Heavy Industries presented the so-called “JGSDF Type 01”, baptized “Shin-Hei” (“First/glorious warrior”). The Shin-Hei strongly resembled the commercial HL-98, sharing its framework and many actuators, but the mechanical systems were upgraded to military spec to allow generally high performance and endurance. Most obvious changes included more complex, hand-like manipulators, so that the Shin-Hei could operate tools and hand-held weapons. A multi-sensor boom (visual, audio, radiation, and atmospheric analysis) was added on the left shoulder as well as a LIDAR projector/receiver on the “forehead”, which offered a wide range of tactical uses and added full all-weather operation ability. The system allowed navigation even in total darkness, exact range measurement and three-dimensional analysis of surrounding details. A further use was motion detection (for extended watch duties), and the LIDAR’s laser beam could furthermore be concentrated to illuminate targets at up to 4.000 m range, either for laser-guided missiles which the Shin-Hei could carry and deploy (see below), or for ordnance that had been launched from 3rd parties like guided artillery shells or laser-guided bombs and missiles dropped from airborne platforms.
Although it had, due to being designed as a multi-purpose Labor, inferior firepower to its predecessor, the Atlas series, the Type 01 was fully capable of dealing with armored vehicles and infantry-level forces. On the right shoulder the Shin-Hei featured a fully stabilized articulated hardpoint that covered a conical area of +/- 45° in both horizontal and vertical planes in front of the torso, which could be rotated by 360°. This actuated pylon could accept several external weapons or tools. This included a sextuple launcher for laser-guided LMAT anti-tank missiles, a smoke grenade mortar with eighteen rounds, a belt-fed 25 mm rapid fire cannon with an external drum magazine against soft but also hardened targets, or a 40 mm grenade launcher, also outfitted with a drum magazine. Instead of weapons the hardpoint could also hold a powerful white/IR searchlight, an IR smoke screen generator, or a grapple cannon with an attached carbon-fiber cable.
Handheld weapons from the JGSDF’s Labor weapon arsenal could be deployed by the Type 01, too, ranging from a long-barreled 40mm rapid-fire machine gun over a heavy anti-labor bazooka to a short combat knife. For riot control the Shin-Hei could furthermore use a machine pistol-type portable firearm, which looked like a submachine gun, capable of firing standard rounds but also non-lethal rubber frag bullets or flechette ammunition against soft targets.
Less visible upgrades included water-, heat- and ABC-insulation for the cockpit in front torso (together with an air supply for 48 hours of operation) and the Labor’s fiber-reinforced plastic and aluminum shell was beefed-up for military operations with composite armor against machine cannon fire of up to 30mm caliber, and optional reactive armor tiles that protected against even larger caliber shells.
Three prototypes were built and the Japanese government ordered 99 production models, which entered service with the JGSDF Amphibious Rapid Deployment Brigade in 2001 but was also adopted by three JGSDF’s pioneer units.

The kit and its assembly:
Some time ago I got my hands on a “reasonably priced” Patlabor IP kit set from Good Smile Company/Moderoid. The company created molds/kits for a wide range of Labors that appear in the original TV series and the movies, thankfully in the old Bandai kits’ rather esoteric 1:60 scale. This range also included a lot of civil Labors, which were formerly only available as dubious vinyl kits. The kit set I got was the HL-98 “Hercules” and ASV 99 “Boxer” combo, two civil construction Labors that shortly appear in supporting roles in the early Nineties movies. I did not have concrete plans for the kits upon purchase, but one of them would certainly become/remain a commercial/civil vehicle – and that will be the Boxer, due to its glazed cockpit. The Hercules Labor looked rather aggressive (at least to me, a little like a small brother of the menacing Phantom robot), and I rather thought that it would be better suited as a police or even military vehicle.
I eventually went for the latter concept; my build/conversion would more or less fall into the timeframe of the rather realistic and politically-heavy Patlabor 2 movie, around 2002, when Labors had, after teething troubles, become a more common sight and fully integrated into public services. Therefore, the HL-98 would become a “classic” JGSDF vehicle, not an exotic prototype anymore, reflected in its equipment/mods and the livery.
A word about the kit…. After initial enthusiasm I was a bit disappointed by the HL-98 kit, though. While it looks flashy and crisp in the box, molded in a peach orange tone with some dark grey details on alternative sprues (that are shared with the Boxer, beware not to throw them away!), the kit revealed the designers’ niggardliness. First of all the kit had been designed to be a rather simple snap-fit model. This is per se not a bad thing, many recent Bandai mecha kits are designed this way to appeal to newbie modelers who can put the model together, put stickers on it, and have a functional action figure within 15 minutes. However, Bandai’s designers still have the advanced modeler in mind and typically offer an alternative water slide decal sheet, and the kit is designed to be built in segments that can be built and painted separately, to be assembled in a final step, e. g. thanks to vinyl caps and clever detail solutions that might require one or two parts more, but that pays out elsewhere.
The Good Smile Company kit(s) lacks this thought altogether, and the number of parts has been reduced to a point that some parts, which would normally require 2 halves, have been molded and cast with “holes”. This might not be an issue, if this would remain invisible – but it isn’t and that’s really disappointing for such a “modern” kit! For instance, the undersides of the feet or of the hips are just “hollow”. Additionally, where a Bandai kit would offer a small, flexible vinyl cap in a joint, half of that joint is in the HL-98’s case completely molded in an ABS-esque material that is quite soft and poorly accepts any paint – the toy aspect seemed to have priority during the molds’ design process! Sure, you can work with this basis, but I feel painfully reminded of the early IP robot kits from the Eighties which did not offer any vinyl caps at all and a very cumbersome, not well thought-through matryoshka layout for arms, legs and torso, so that building separate modules and assembling them as a final step was impossible or required thorough mods.
Beyond these fundamental issues the kit went together quite well. The IP material is solid and thick, but many openings had to be painted before assembly to hide the material’s orange base color. Fit is also not too god, at least for such a modern mold – while the designers tried to hide part seams in natural panel lines, those seams that remain visible are very prominent and require PSR.
Most of my mods went onto the upper torso, including a sensor boom from a Patlabor Brocken on the left shoulder, the prominent LIDAR fairing (from a Bandai Patlabor Ingram Unit 3’s head) or the shoulder gun (from the scrap box, from a ruined 1:144 Run-Valam mecha, plus a drum magazine scratched from leftover Patlabor Brocken parts).
The “mitten”-style hands were also procured from a Bandai Brocken kit, replacing the HL-98’s original pincer-like three- and four-finger manipulators. To emphasize the military aspect, I added reactive armor tiles to the front and the shoulders, cut from 1mm styrene sheet. They beef up the look and add a military touch to the Labor/mecha.
Painting and markings:
A very dry and truthful replication of the typical JGSDF tank/vehicle livery in Dark Green/Dark Earth, and for this purpose I procured the respective authentic tones/paints from Tamiya, namely YF-72 and -73. However, these appear rather pale for what they are supposed to depict? IMHO, the tones rather remind of early WWII RAF Dark Earth and Dark Green (or even British Army Bronze Green) than those Tamiya suggests? Esp. the green is very greyish and close to the German RAL 7009 (Grüngrau), while the brown is very similar to FS 30118 (from the USAF SEA scheme). Dubious, maybe Tamiya’s engineers tried to integrate scale effects?
However, I gave the Tamiya paints a try and eventually stuck to them, even though the contrast between the green and the brown is surprisingly low. I considered adding black contrast stripes here and there (as applied to JGSDF AH-1Fs) but refrained from that when the Labor looked quite good in the basic two-tone camouflage. The pattern was improvised, an attempt to recreate the typical wide-striped JGSDF vehicle camouflage on a humanoid shape.
Once the basic colors had been applied, I gave the model an overall washing with thinned dark brown acrylic artist paint, to emphasize surface details and somewhat darken the rather pale tones, and some post-shading with slightly lighter basic tones (Revell 67 and 87) for weathering and a less uniform look. Decals/markings came next and were improvised with material from 1:72 JGSDF tanks and a Hobby Boss AH-1. After that the whole model was dry-brushed with khaki drab and light grey (Humbrol 72 and 64, respectively) to emphasize details and edges.
An overall coat with matt acrylic varnish followed. The lights around the hull were created with chromatic PET foil, the LIDAR on the forehead was painted glossy black to simulate a translucent fairing for the laser emitter. As a final step the model received a thorough weathering/dusting with watercolors and mineral pigments, esp. around the lower regions of the model but also on the upper surfaces, simulating accumulated dust and mud.
A conversion project that took a while to materialize, due to the inherent problems caused by the kit’s design as a highly simplified snap-fit kit. However, the “militarization” of the HL-98 worked well, and with relatively simple means – it looks quite purposeful now. I just wonder about the Tamiya paints, which are supposed to depict authentic JGSDF tones (I cross-checked that with Tamiya’s JGSDF tank kits like the Type 10 – the instructions recommend FY 72 and 73, too, or their rattle can alternatives). But esp. the green looks very pale and faded, I am not sold on it, even though I eventually stuck with them, and the Labor does not look bad with the low-contrast camouflage.

I have a weakness for tong but lup, even thought I'm not a fan of coconut. There's something so satisfying about the crumbs of shrededd coconut, finely chopped peanuts and sugar that coats pieces of diced warm and chewy glutinous rice dough. I love how that sandy sweet texture is such a great juxtaposition against the sticky, bland bubblegum like mochi. Contrasts in flavours, textures and colours are important to me. Tong but lup scores high on this scale. Too bad this one was served on the cold side. Oh well, it was still delicious.

Mirit Ben Nun: Shortness of breath
'Shortness of breath' is not only a sign of physical weakness, it is a metaphor for a mental state of strong desire that knows no repletion; more and more, an unbearable glut, without repose. Mirit Ben Nun's type of work on the other hand requires an abundance of patience. This is a Sisyphean work (requiring hard labor) of marking lines and dots, filling every empty millimeter with brilliant blots. Therefore we are facing a paradox or a logical conflict. A patient and effortful work that stems from an urgent need to cover and fill, to adorn and coat. Her craft of layering reaches a state of a continuous ceremonial ritual.
This ritual digests every object into itself - useful or discarded -- available and ordinary or rare and exceptional -- they submit and devote to the overlay work. Mirit BN gathers scrap off the streets -- cardboard rolls of fabric, assortments of wooden boards and pieces, plates and planks -- and constructs a new link, her own syntax, which she alone is fully responsible for. The new combination -- a type of a sculptural construction -- goes through a process of patching by the act of painting.
In fact Mirit regards her three dimensional objects as a platform for painting, with a uniform continuity, even if it has obstacles, mounds and valleys. These objects beg her to paint, to lay down colors, to set in motion an intricate weave of abstract patterns that at times finds itself wandering the contours of human images and sometimes -- not. In those cases what is left is the monotonous activity of running the patterns, inch by inch, till their absolute coverage, till a short and passing instant of respite and than on again to a new onset.
Next to this assembly of garbage and it's recycling into 'painted sculptures' Mirit offers a surprising reunion between her illustrated objects and so called cheap African sculpture; popular artifacts or articles that are classified in the standard culture as 'primitive'.
This combination emphasizes the difference between her individualistic performance and the collective creation which is translated into cultural clichés. The wood carved image creates a moment of peace within the crowded bustle; an introverted image, without repetitiveness and reverberation. This meeting of strangers testifies that Mirit' work could not be labeled under the ´outsiders art´ category. She is a one woman school who is compelled to do the art work she picked out to perform. Therefore she isn't creating ´an image´ such as the carved wooden statues, but she produces breathless ´emotional jam' whose highest values are color, motion, beauty and plenitude. May it never lack, neither diluted, nor dull for even an instant

this smoldering weakness for sumptuous fabrics, this endless alchemy of costuming, curtaining, draping; my corners & walls thick with stories and warm invited haunted things; a luxe little nest; this tactile creature heart. living the whole of my world in my small, thrumming hands.
One of my weaknesses, when I see a theatre, have to take a picture.

I confess to having a weakness for any clothing item that's shiny and sleek. So I went on Forever 21's website and bought this body suit made of faux leather (okay, polyester & spandex).
Now, I'm sure you notice that the sleeve ends have thumbnail holes (something I forgot it had until I tried it on for the first time). And I'm sure you're noticing that I've paired them with jean leggings. And I imagine you're probably noticing the outline of my bra showing through (it's a thin and tight fabric, this bodysuit)...
But what I'm hoping you don't notice is my figure. I'm needing to get my abs into shape again. Nevertheless, while it may not entirely flatter me, this body felt so good to wear. And if wearing something makes you happy, it can't be that bad, right?
We all have a weakness
But some of ours are easy to identify.
Look me in the eye
and ask for forgiveness;
We'll make a pact to never speak that word again.
Yes, you are my friend.
We all have something that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when weakness turns my ego up
I know you'll count on the me from yesterday.
If I turn into another,
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
If I turn into another,
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone.
If I turn into another,
Dig me up from under what is covering
The better part of me.
Sing this song!
Remind me that we'll always have each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone.
Oh, each other
When everything else is gone.

I have an admission to make. I have a serious weakness for shiny, sexy, clingy, tight fitting, curve hugging women's apparel! ...and boots- hot, stiletto-heeled boots! I know its a character flaw, but as that legendary cartoon character Popeye once said, "I yam what I yam!"
This ensemble centers on my Baltogs hot pink wet look lycra spandex leotard from nydancewear.com, a shiny purple wet look lycra spandex miniskirt from milanoo[dot]com, a black two buckle stretch belt from greatglam.com, pink satin opera gloves, pink fishnet hose over shiny black Platino Cleancut 15 denier pantyhose and Hanes Alive pantyhose along with these hot pink vinyl thigh boots with 5" heels from electriqueboutique.com.

The man who transformed his weaknesses into strengths, carving a path to success through resilience and strength of spirit.

Brazil vs Czechoslovakia |1962| Garrincha
"On a day like today, the joy of the people was born: Mané Garrincha. He was a two-time world champion with the Brazilian national team, and played for Botafogo, Corinthians, Junior de Barranquilla (the stadium was packed to the rafters in his only match in Barranquilla, but Santa Fe, the Bogotá team, spoiled the party by winning 3-2), Flamengo, the Paris Red Stars, and the modest Olaria of his country, with whom he retired in 1972."
Author: Eduardo Galeano.
In the 1962 World Cup Final, Brazil defeated Czechoslovakia 3-1 to win their second consecutive World Cup, largely thanks to the dazzling performance of Garrincha. Playing after the early injury of Pelé, Garrincha was instrumental in Brazil's victory, earning the title of player of the tournament for his decisive dribbling and powerful shots. The final was held on June 17, 1962, at the Estadio Nacional in Santiago, Chile.

One of his many siblings christened him Garrincha, the name of a useless and ugly little bird. When he started playing soccer, the doctors crossed him out, diagnosing that he would never become an athlete, this abnormal, this poor remnant of hunger and poliomyelitis, stupid and lame, with a child's brain, a spine shaped like an S, and both legs twisted to the same side. There had never been a right winger like him. In the '58 World Cup, he was the best in his position. In the '62 World Cup, he was the best player in the championship. But throughout his years on the pitch, Garrincha was even more: he was the man who brought the most joy in the entire history of soccer.
When he was there, the field was a circus ring, the ball a trained beast, the game, an invitation to a party. Garrincha wouldn't let the ball be taken away, like a child defending his mascot, and he and the ball would commit mischief that made people laugh; he jumped on it, she jumped on him, she hid, he escaped, she chased him. Garrincha practiced his thuggish tricks on the edge of the field, on the right edge, far from the center; raised in the suburbs, he played in the suburbs. He played for a club called Botafogo, which means fire-starter, and that was him; the Botafogo who lit up stadiums, crazy about liquor and everything fiery, the one who fled from the gatherings, escaping through the window, because from the distant backwaters some ball that begged to be played, some music that demanded to be danced to, some woman who wanted to be kissed called to him.
A winner? A loser with good luck. And good luck doesn't last. They say in Brazil that if shit had value, the poor would be born without an ass.
Garrincha died his own death: poor, drunk, and alone.
Originally a small-time cat burglar, our grappler is no stranger to the tricky and elusive arts of theft. With an unfailing eye for structural weakness and resale value, the ironically-named Ruckus has been known to slip through an upper-story window and, by maneuvering silently through the shadows, infiltrate a party thrown by high society hobnobbers and proceed to enjoy several cocktails with the legitimate attendees before making off with six million dollars worth of artwork. Indeed, in spite of his rather unsavory profession, the Grappler has a more refined side as well, and through his years of thieving and plundering has developed quite an extensive personal collection of fine art, priceless paintings, and innovative sculpture.
Having enjoyed a taste of the high life during those few heady moments of aristocratic subterfuge, Ruckus made the life-altering decision to abandon his uncouth involvement in petty crime in favor of a loftier existence. However, a scandal involving the sale at auction of a fraudulent Renoir shattered his dream of dinner jackets and sherry by the fire. Ruckus returned to his former life with a vengeange, embarking upon a spree of destruction that ended only after a tense and acrobatic faceoff, the result of a run-in with our trusty Saboteur in a building both parties had a vested interest in investigating.
Ruckus was impressed by the Saboteur's finesse, and realized that in his success he had neglected to remember the breadth of tactic and technique he had still to learn. The Pastime Athletic Club came to a similar collective conclusion, having witnessed first-hand the plucky fellow's grit. Nowadays, though he still carries a reputation as a ne'er-do-well, Ruckus serves the Pastime Athletic Club admirably as our official Grappler, wrestling with problems both animate and theoretical as they arise from day to day.

I love Diet Coke. That is all I can say. Plus this is the first time I ever tried to take a photo with just my left hand.
I have a weakness for buying laser cut acrylic pendants whenever I see them, especially anchors. I think they look a little sweeter and girlier in this (acrylic cutout) medium than in the rough and tough metal form that anchor pendants are usually available in (trust me, there's definitely a place in my heart and in jewelry for those too). The bows and matching crystals really top it off for me. This sweet pair is currently available in my Etsy shop at www.actionjackson.etsy.com. :)
Jagdpancer Hetzer, outskirts of Budapest.
The main weakness of the Hungarian-German defense was its low density. Especially human forces and tanks were lacking, and there were hardly any reserves available. However, the Soviet offensive launched on 20th December could advance only slowly moreover, it got stuck in some places. Defenders managed to utilize the gap between the attacking forces, which was there due to the location of Lake Velencei, and well-prepared counter-attacks were launched. Already on the second day Soviets had to put in combat all their three rapid forces groups (two mechanized and one tank corps) in order to increase the speed of advance. However, the lines of defense got broken on 24th December. Thereafter parts of the Hungarian-German forces were pushed towards Budapest, while other units tried to halt the outer ring of the 4thSoviet Army. To the end of the month encirclement of Budapest from the west was completed, and the 4th Army established its outer ring.
Keswick probe for a weakness in the Oldham defence in rugby union's North Lancs/Cumbria league. The Lakelanders won 17-0 a fourth-versus-sixth promotion battle at Davidson Park to climb to second, four points behind Salford-based leaders De La Salle. Any of the top six in an astonishingly tight league could still finish top.
Match statistics:
Admission: free. Programme: none. Attendance: 125. Scoring sequence: 7-0 (5mins); 10-0 (29mins); 17-0 (77mins).
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed weaknesses and strengths in our socio-economic systems. It is causing a global recession and many people have lost their job or their source of revenue. As we need to rebuild our economy, let us make it as sustainable, inclusive and resilient as possible. The Ethical Leadership in Business conference explored how we can achieve this aim by looking at what we need to learn and how leaders can promote those values.

Most people don't know that I have been collecting baby stuff for about 3 years. I have always been a collector, and I have known that when we decide to have kids, I want the baby room to be puppies and dogs. This last fall when we remodeled, we knew that the spare bedroom would be used for a baby room next... so we chose colors and painted it like a nursery. Now I have a place for my "baby stuff" collections. I have to admit that I have the entire Pottery Barn "Blue Dog" Crib set and lots of accessories that I got on eBay for less than $200, which if you know pottery barn, you know that's a total steal.... and we have an Eddie Bauer Pack and Play in the attic that I got for $50 at our neighbor's auction, and we got much more at the auction, like the bassinet for $30 and an excersaucer for $8, and about 25 Avent Naturally Bottles for $5.00, that were like brand new. All the drawers in the baby room are filled with 0-3 month clothes, shoes, blankets, bibs, and onesies that I have collected over the past 3 years. I figure it's cheaper than having to buy it all at once, and it has helped us to not have kids before we are ready, because I don't "want" baby stuff... I already have it! Plus I get lots of great deals and find lots of matching stuff because I have had time to look for what I want... So our spare bedroom looks like a baby lives there!
📓 Sun Tzu - The Art of War:
Explains how an army's opportunities come from the openings in the environment caused by the relative weakness of the enemy and how to respond to changes in the fluid battlefield over a given area.

👩🏫 The Art of War (孫子兵法) is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the Late Spring and Autumn Period (roughly 5th century BC). The work, which is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu ("Master Sun"), is composed of 13 chapters. Each one is devoted to a different set of skills or art related to warfare and how it applies to military strategy and tactics. For almost 1,500 years it was the lead text in an anthology that was formalized as the Seven Military Classics by Emperor Shenzong of Song in 1080. The Art of War remains the most influential strategy text in East Asian warfare and has influenced both Far Eastern and Western military thinking, business tactics, legal strategy, politics, sports, lifestyles and beyond.
The book contains a detailed explanation and analysis of the 5th-century BC Chinese military, from weapons, environmental conditions, and strategy to rank and discipline. Sun also stressed the importance of intelligence operatives and espionage to the war effort. Considered one of history's finest military tacticians and analysts, his teachings and strategies formed the basis of advanced military training for millennia to come.
The book was translated into French and published in 1772 (re-published in 1782) by the French Jesuit Jean Joseph Marie Amiot. A partial translation into English was attempted by British officer Everard Ferguson Calthrop in 1905 under the title The Book of War. The first annotated English translation was completed and published by Lionel Giles in 1910. Military and political leaders such as the Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong, Japanese daimyō Takeda Shingen, Vietnamese general Võ Nguyên Giáp, and American military generals Douglas MacArthur and Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. are all cited as having drawn inspiration from the book.
