Upon arrival we selected a rather nice little coffee and bunnery and indulged in hot chocolate with whipped cream, mmmmm, even if the whipped cream came from a squirty can. Going along a deserted aisle we espyed a policeman, as I said to Stephanie, if this was 30 years ago we could have been arrested for this ! Talking of Stephanie she was tempted by shoes that naughty girl, black suede, although we both were in heaven after seeing a pair of suede black and gold heels in Miu-Miu but well out of our price range :-(
So a stroll round and lunch in Byron's and then suitably refreshed we take in a multitude of things we cannot afford. As I have said, I don't mind things that are far out of reach pricewise, it doesn't worry me in the slightest its the things that are just out of reach that get to me.
So my partner and I need to go up to town, off we trot. She needs some dressmaking accoutrements and I some loose powder. A nice breakfast repast in Marks and Spencer and quick stroll through Selfridges and then down to Charles Fox in Covent Garden. A nice chat with the girls about foundation and powder bought its back to Oxford Street and Morplan in Great Titchfield Street only just before we get there madame realises she hasn't bought her student discount card with her! So home we go but not before she has to have a pair of Ugg ear muffs in John Lewis!

I recently came across an article about Millennial Moms (yea, I guess that's what their actually calling us). I was surprised by how they painted us as parents, but at the same time, I couldn't deny what they were saying. I was guilty of most of it. I didn't think it was a bad thing, though, as they made it out to be. Being a Millennial Mom is so different from being a mom 20 years ago and it comes with its own set of challenges. We are unique, and I think our children are benefiting from that.
I decided to come up with my own list of how being a Millennial Mom is different based on personal experience. I would love to hear the thoughts of other Millennials!
Everything is an Instagram post.
Your kid has to be camera ready at all times and you better not pass up a good photo op or else no one will know what a cool, fun, artsy Mom you are.
The flip side of this is we compare our babies to all the perfect, genius babies on Instagram and we compare ourselves to the cool, fun, artsy moms taking their pictures. Guilty!
Google is not always our friend.
We can Google our baby's symptoms and find all these absolutely horrible possibilities when in reality he's just teething. Our moms didn't have the Internet to fuel their fears of SIDS and other tragedies.
Life is busier.
There are far less stay at home moms. Your kids are expected to do twice as many extra curricular activities and if heaven forbid your mind wanders for a second and you forget their favorite kind of cake…you're the worst mother on the planet!
Missed a basketball game because you had to work? How dare you!
The world is more dangerous.
Our moms could send us outside to play for hours. In today's world, if your kid is gone for hours it's most likely they've been kidnapped, not playing in the neighborhood with their friends. So Millennial moms have to come up with more creative ways to entertain their kids all day. (And it better be Pinterest worthy).
If you do want your child to interact with other kids outside of school, you have to set up a play date. Which, let's be real (unless the other mom is just as cool as you are) is an awkward hour for you.
We have so much more to teach our kids.
In this day in age, we have to teaching our kids so much more than the basic "be a decent human being." We have to teach them acceptance, social media etiquette and safety, how to handle bullying, and everything that comes with this crazy world we live in.
We are judged so much more harshly.
Social media allows for keyboard warriors to express all kinds of judgements on your parenting. Granted, we take that risk putting ourselves out on social media, but still, it can be pretty harsh. There are so many ways to parent now (co-sleep/sleep train, breastfeed/formula feed, etc.). And there are plenty of people (or dirty looks) to tell you your choice is the wrong one.
On the flip side of that, however, I have met a lot of Millennial Moms that are SUPER supportive and friendly. So, this one is hard to generalize. I think our moms were probably judged too, maybe just not as openly. Social media provides a platform for everyone to speak their opinions.
A few things the article mentioned that I found interesting and true are 1. Millennial Moms tend to be older first time moms – I think this is because more of us are waiting to have children. We are enjoying our 20s traveling, being with friends, getting our career set, etc. and then we are deciding we are ready for kids. 2. We do not want to "be a mom" all the time – this is one of the ones I thought they put a negative spin on but it's not necessarily wrong. If you think about it, it was rare that moms in older generations had actual lives of their own outside of their children. Today we very much understand that #yolo. So we do our best to enjoy our lives as much as possible. This means we have hobbies outside of our children, we take time to care for ourselves (#selfcare), and we are a little more selfish. Sounds bad when I say it like that huh? But my personal opinion is we teach through example. I want my kid to take care of himself, even be a little bit selfish at times. Hopefully, if he sees that his mom was able to do so, he will follow my lead.
Unfortunately, we won't really know how the parenting of Millennial Moms affects kids for about another 20 years when our kids are grown up and we can see how they turn out. Obviously, we hope it benefits them. Either way, all we can do is our best with what we have. And that's exactly what our moms did.

Earlier this year LACE ran three workshops at the Policies for Educational Data Mining and Learning Analytics Briefing. Our aim at the workshops was to contribute to the sector-wide reflection which is needed to make progress towards a fuller picture of the role of analytics in education. The discussions examined the priorities for a group of European educational administrators, professionals and academics in considering analytics and its relationship to policy and practice. Each workshop produced a set of recommendations, and these are brought together in the paper Policy recommendations for learning analytics from three stakeholder workshops. The paper also includes summary of the briefing, links to presentations, and video interviews with stakeholders.

You are what you eat. I say this because as a proud vegan, nutrients from the foods you eat provide the foundation, structure, function, and integrity of every little cell in your body. From your skin and hair to your muscles, bones, digestive and immune systems, food is a self-serving guide to the human body. One should always be cautious about the food and the things they allow into their body.
To help guide you, here are a few tips & notes.
A balanced diet or balanced plate is one that gives your body the nutrients it needs to function correctly. To get the proper nutrition from your diet, you should consume the majority of your daily calories in: fruits, vegetables, grains, liquids, proteins, etc. If you consume more calories than your body can take, may lead to severe health risk. Having a balanced plate means that you acknowledge your dietary needs and restrictions. You should always consume foods that are low in fats, and sugars. Eat foods that are high in vitamins, mineral and other nutrients.
If you are traveler, be extra careful what you eat.
Travel tip: Always carry multivitamins with you.

UPS predicts 'record' holiday season
Bricks-and-mortar retailers are sweating online competition this holiday season, perhaps more than ever. But it's all upside to UPS. The shipping giant is cashing in both on Internet shopping and old-school retailers trying to mimic Amazon.com - shipping inventory around the country in an incessant supply-chain shuffling.
The company estimates it will handle 4 percent more U.S. packages over the holidays, thanks, in part, to an expected 15 percent increase in online retail orders.
"We expect this year's holiday season will be another for the record books, as we pick up more than 34 million packages on our peak day," Chief Sales, Marketing and Strategy Officer Alan Gershenhorn said during a recent conference call.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
Indeed, UPS has seen a boost in business all year. Those gains are not all from companies like Zappos and Etsy.
Allowing customers the convenience of ordering something online and picking it up in the store or buying something in store and having it shipped home is helping, too.
UPS said it now has 25 large retailers scheduling pickups every evening of products they want to shuffle to other stores by the next day.
Not surprisingly, UPS' profit more than doubled in the recent quarter to $1.1 billion, topping Wall Street estimates. Sales were up 3.4 percent to $13.5 billion, as the company handled almost 5 percent more packages in the year-earlier period.
"These are solid results, considering market trends and the global economic environment," Chief Financial Officer Kurt Kuehn said.
There's a flip-side to the gains, however: higher holiday expenses for a crowd of retailers. Even Amazon.com is apparently feeling the pinch. Last week, the Web giant said it would raise the minimum order requirement for free shipping from $25 to $35.
The only thing that could wreck the holidays for UPS is a breakdown in contract negotiations currently under way with some of its union workers. The company said it is confident they will approve a new deal soon, but peak holiday shipping days present some powerful negotiating leverage.

There are four inside pages: Below are the back two. The "thinking of you edge" is from is an Impresson Obsession die (DIE 235-M)available at Simon Says Stamps. The gilded rose is a watercolor project and is a Gina K. Designs stamp. The Butterfly on the left is part of the Les Papillion set, used on the front, and cut of the same color paper as the top matte but brushed heavily with white Wink of Stella. Both mattes are embossed with Intricate Swirls by Paper Studio. Tags are from the Graphic 45 collection. The corner design is a Fiskars corner punch.
These are the front two pages. These are not quite complete. Watercolor and distress ink roses are embossed with gold SU EP, line detail is a sticker, the Mava stamp embossed in Glacier Ice EP reads: "Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as Art." (Maya Angelou.) This cutout is accented with Wink of Stella and 3d Crystal Glaze edged butterflies from the SU embosslits Butterfly set. Again the tags and backing are from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper stamp and die collection.
My friend and I will be teaching this technique, suggested by AJ Otto at Splitcoast Stampers in her Accordion File Folder tutorial in our next meeting of the Sun City Papers 'N Pixels Club. This is the front of her Accordion File Folder Tag Album. She used fussycut graphics and papers from various Digital Scrapbooking Kits. See her amazing paper projects In Reene's Room
Here are some of our Papers 'N Pixels members starting their tag albums at the 1/21 meeting.
They had a blast with this project, and looked forward to putting the finishing touches on them at home.

South Pinellas
We install fences and repair fences in areas throughout South Pinellas County. Areas include: Saint Petersburg, Bay Pines, Pinellas Park, Seminole, St Pete Beach, Lealman, Kenneth City, Gulfport, Pasadena, Madeira Beach, Treasure Island, Tierra Verde.
South Pinellas
After the end of the Second World War. South Pinellas would enter another period of rapid growth and development. In 1954 the original span of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge was opened. Which took the place of earlier ferry service. By 1957 Clearwater was America's fastest growing city.
The Tampa Bay Regional Planning Council was founded by the late mayor of St. Petersburg, Herman Goldner. He sought without success during the 1960s to consolidate various municipalities and unincorporated areas in south Pinellas County. Each year the council presents its Herman Goldner Award for Regional Leadership.[18]
South Pinellas
Tragedy struck on May 9, 1980, when the southbound span of the original Sunshine Skyway Bridge was struck by the freighter MV Summit Venture during a storm. This sent over 1,200 feet (370 m) of the bridge plummeting into Tampa Bay. The collision caused ten cars and a Greyhound bus to fall 150 feet (46 m) into the water, killing 35 people.[19][20] The new bridge opened in 1987 and has since been listed as #3 of the "Top 10 Bridges" in the World by the Travel Channel.[21]
The county operates a 21-acre (8.5 ha) living history museum called Heritage Village. Which contains more than 28 historic structures. Some dating back to the 19th century, where visitors can experience what life was once like in Pinellas.
South Pinellas
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 608 square miles (1,570 km2). Including 274 square miles (710 km2) of land and 334 square miles (870 km2) (55.0%) of water.[22] Therefore it is the second-smallest county in Florida by land area. In other words, larger than only Union County. Pinellas forms a peninsula bounded on the west by the Gulf of Mexico and on the south and east by Tampa Bay. It is 38 miles (61 km) long and 15 miles (24 km) wide at its broadest point, with 587 miles (945 km) of coastline.[23]
Pinellas County celebrated 100 years of existence on January 1, 2012.

To speak with our customer service:
According to experts, it is best to tell children that they are going to be moving home as soon as possible. Many parents are under the impression that they shouldn't tell their children until the last minute so they don't have as long to worry however children need time to get used to the idea of moving and will appreciate you telling them ASAP. When telling them you must highlight all of the positive aspects of the move for them, these things could include; new friends, new school, a garden, a local park etc.
Before your move takes places you need to ensure that you are positive about it, especially when you are around your children. If you are anxious and stressed you children will pick up on this. Involve your children as much as possible too, ensuring that you answer any questions that they have and providing them with as much information as you can so that they know what to expect.
You should take your children to the new house before you move and let them choose their own bedrooms and have input regarding how they are going to be decorated. Not only this but you should plan at least one day trip to the new neighbourhood so that they can explore local attractions and become more familiar with the surroundings.
You should let your children help packing their belongings, deciding what they want to take with them and what they've outgrown and are willing to give to others less fortunate. You should also let them pack their own 'essentials' box containing the things in which they are likely to need on their first night in the new home. Make sure you check this box to ensure it contains things they need and not just an abundance of toys and sweets.
Saying goodbye can also be tough for children, so why not let them throw a little goodbye party?
Moving day can not only be stressful but also tedious and rather boring for children, therefore if possible you should arrange for them to go to their friends or family members for the day. If this is not possible and they have to come with you, you should set them little tasks to do so that they feel helpful and not in the way. Plan your first night in the new home around them, letting them have their favourite tam and ice cream and letting them choose a movie to watch or game to play.
We hope that these tips are helpful and that they allow for you and your children to move in a non-stressful or upsetting way.

Class started at the Art Guild last night – looks like an excellent group – engaged and lots of good questions. We'll be stuffing 'em full of info for the next eight weeks and I am looking forward to it.
Let's follow-up on yesterday's conversation about WHERE to meter with this conversation on what different metering techniques exist. Remember, your camera's light meter is basically trying to average everything it sees to arrive at a proper exposure. There are ways to influence that decision:
Spot Metering – measures the light at an extremely narrow angle of view, usually limited to 1 to 5 degrees. So instead of taking in the entire scene and metering EVERYTHING, it takes a tiny dot from the middle of your viewfinder and does ALL of its metering based on that. This is great if you're dealing with a high-contrast scene – the camera will want to overcome all that contrast and pull your white whites and your black blacks to a middle grey. It's not as good for a scene weighted slightly one way or the other, but we'll get to that.
Center-Weighted Metering – measures reflected light throughout the entire scene but is biased toward the center portion of the viewing area. This is the first concept of looking at the whole scene, but taking your subject (if centered) and letting it do most of the driving.
Matrix Metering – relies on a microchip that has been programmed to see thousands of picture-taking subjects, from bright white snowcapped mountains to the darkest canyons and everything in between. As you point your camera towards a scene, matrix metering recognizes the subject from its database, based on the light it's seeing across the scene, and meters properly. Matrix metering has gotten so good that it's probably your default choice nowadays.
So think of spot and center-weighted metering as special cases and start with the matrix metering. There might even be a physical switch on your camera's body to change between modes – or quite possibly just a menu setting.

DJI's much-anticipated launch of the successor to the hugely successful DJI Mavic Pro drone took place earlier this year (Jan 23, 2018), ushering the DJI Mavic Air. We are here to help you understand the comparative pros and cons of these two highly impressive copters so that you get to make a well-informed purchase best suited to your requirements. Dear readers, look no further as we lap up the most discounted Coupons for the DJI Mavic from all across the web for the financial convenience of your esteemed selves.
The case for Mavic Air: The Deal Makers, when pitted against Mavic Pro
- Compact
- At 213 mm, it is practically half the size of the Mavic Pros' larger diagonal frame of 335 mm, making it very convenient to fold and pack into a jacket pocket, reminiscent of the DJI Spark days.
- Lighter
- At 430 gms, it's nearly half the weight of its rival and makes its case for light weekend backpackers
- Higher bitrates
- Doing 100Mbps against the Mavic Pros' 60 Mbps, the higher bitrate ensures smoother capture and data transmission between the device and its controller.
- Internal Storage
- This is indeed a fantastic new benchmark feature, and the convenience rendered to users when SD card will be full/unavailable is a true dealmaker.
- Camera and shooting modes
- The 4K video modes
- Unique 32 MP software-stitched 360 degrees of spherical Panorama (Mavic Pro has only 180 degrees of Vertical and horizontal panoramas)
- 1080p 120 fps Slo-mo video (the Mavic Pro makes 120 fps at 720p)
- Auto HDR, special Asteroid zoom and Boomerang shooting mode,
- A much needed Fixed Focus optics (against the Mavic Pro's shifting focus, which may lead to blurry unusable shots)
- Gimbal
- The three-axis gimbal is an improvement amongst all of DJIs existing drones,
- Embedded camera lens hardly needing glass-case protection like the one in Mavic Pro.
- Gestures
Hand gestures 3.0 makes the Mavic Air convenient to swing, allowing you to raise, move, and take selfies through spontaneous hand waves in the air.
- DJI's higher standards and performance on a budget
- At 799 USD, with same DJI reliability and durability, but 200 bucks less (Mavic Pro ranges from 999 – 1299 USD)
- Other cool features
- APAS (Advanced Pilot Assistance System) with three directional proximity sensors (front, rear and ground, whereas the Mavic Pro, comes without the rear obstacle sensor) makes it safer for multi-purpose deployment.
- DJI Goggles compatibility
- The marginally higher speed at 68 kmph (against Mavic Pro's 65 kmph)
- 3 colour options – Black, blue and red
The case for Mavic Pro : The knight in shining armour
- Battery life
Impressive 27mins(3830 mAh battery) against the Mavic Air's 21 mins (2375 mAh)
2. Range
3 miles (7 km) against the Mavic Air's 2.4 miles (4 km)
3. Occusync
Occusync results in smoother video sync with RC unit and DJI Goggles. Much missed in the WiFi only featurette of Mavic Air.
4. More features in RC uni
Unique Video Brightness adjust the dial, live telemetry data etc.
5. Quieter
Most importantly, we want our readers to choose the Drone they will use the most, and not just impress with specs sheet. For a boundary-pushing semi-professional drone choreographer, there's a Mavic Pro with their name on it. Yet the laid-back outdoorsy explorer may find them handy to use features of Mavic Air difficult to leave home without. Share with us your preference or queries, and let us take care of your ironing needs.

- "It's very powerful and probably very dangerous. It has a purifying power, a cleansing power, possibly scrubbing bubbles. The translation is— Anyway, it bestows strength to the right person who wears it."
- ―Angel[src]
The Amulet was a powerful mystical artifact with "purifying" powers. It was in the possession of Wolfram & Hart and proved to be instrumental during the Battle at the Hellmouth.
Battle of HellmouthEdit
In exchange for his acceptance of the position as C.E.O. of Wolfram & Hart Los Angeles branch, Lilah Morgan offered the Amulet to Angel, explaining it had purifying powers, along with a file with information about the situation in Sunnydale. In handing the Amulet to the vampire, Lilah said: "apparently it's crucial for some kind of final battle."
At first, Angel wanted to keep neither the file nor the Amulet, and said that "Buffy can handle herself". Although, after watching Connor in trouble, he took the Amulet[1] and went to Sunnydale to give it to the Slayer. There, he told Buffy that the Amulet was very powerful, and probably very dangerous. He mentioned inscriptions, but Angel didn't described the Amulet in more details that it had a purifying/cleansing power, bestowing strength when worn by someone ensouled, but stronger than human — a Champion.[2]
Buffy, being about to fight her ultimate battle against the First Evil and its army of Turok-Hans, gave the Amulet to Spike, who promptly accepted the charge despite knowing the object was volatile and its powers unknown. In the middle of the battle, while already fighting, Spike finally felt the Amulet start working. It initially burned to the touch and made him stumble back, until the Amulet suddenly broke the barriers between Spike and the sunlight, and channeled powerful beams through his soul, dusting a dozen of Turok-Hans in seconds. It then began to cause the Hellmouth to collapse, so Spike choose to stay behind and close it forever. In the process, the vampire was consumed from within, burning to ashes, and dying as a hero.[2]
Los AngelesEdit
Nineteen days later, and the Amulet reappeared in Los Angeles, at Wolfram & Hart, inside an envelope (without sender) sent to Angel. From it, a ghostly Spike was released.[3] After some researching, Wesley concluded that Spike's essence had been trapped in the Amulet, and nothing could destroy it — except if the object was taken to a consecrated place, like a church or a cemetery. It was also stated that Spike was bound to the Amulet; if it was destroyed, then Spike would cease to exist altogether. In addition, due to the effects of the Amulet, Spike was also bound to Los Angeles and unable to leave the city limits.[4]
After Spike's physical body was eventually restored,[5] the Amulet and what it did to him was mentioned several times. At one event, when Team Angel were about to destroy the Circle of the Black Thorn, Angel gave Spike his assignment, who adamantly declared: "First off, I'm not wearing any amulets."[6]

[MOD] Ahch-To Island Training (75200) w/ X-Wing Door [Updated]
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO Star WarsSo here's a MOD for 75200 Ahch-To Island Training (and I'm sure I'm not the first person to do it). A cool detail in Star Wars: The Last Jedi is that the door to Luke Skywalker's hut is made from a chunk of S-foil from his X-Wing. You can see the faded red stripes if you look closely. I like 75200, and didn't want to redesign the whole hut, so I decided to make a few customizations that include a new door. It's not totally screen-accurate, but my goal was just to give a closer approximation. Because the new door clips to the existing bar, no other modifications to that part of the set are required, and it's a simple matter to swap out the provided cloth, depending on your mood. Having the door swing up is a bit of creative license, but the interior of the hut is so detail-packed that having it swing inward didn't really work. While I was at it, I also made a few further revisions for display purposes. The base is expanded to give more room for Rey and Luke to stand side-by-side. "Play" features I won't personally use, i.e. the "exploding" wall and spinning platform, have been removed with a few stability enhancements. I added a window to the area above Luke's bed, and some clips to the ceiling to hold a fish, knife, spear tip and a pair of macrobinoculars. The "shelf" in the roof now has a few jars. Rey carries a satchel, as she did at the end of The Force Awakens, Luke's walking stick is a bit more proportionate, and the concealed area under the table now houses a few non-fruit items. Perhaps too much detail in the end, but it was fun. :) And just for reference, this was my first pass at the MOD, which I originally posted here earlier today:
75204 Sandspeeder REVIEW
Admonisher replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star WarsThis isn't the first time a sandspeeder has been designed: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sandspeeder A closer look: I don't know to what degree (if any) the toy prototype inspired this model. Might be a fun mod, however!
[MOD] Beetlejuice riding Sandworm
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO LicensedNothing too ambitious here, but I wanted Beetlejuice to be able to ride his sandworm from the new Dimensions pack, so I whipped up a few mods. Essentially, I added a connection point for a figure, extended the sandworm body so that the figure could be positioned at a good angle, added a fin to the body, and placed it all atop a sturdy base. Oh, and I gave Beetlejuice his cowboy hat to brandish -- because he's all about the showmanship!
[MOC] The X-Files Vignette - Mulder & Scully at Area 51
Admonisher replied to Admonisher's topic in LEGO Sci-FiThanks, but the flashlights have been done before! I borrowed the idea from WetWired's fantastic custom-printed figures, as seen in this thread:
[MOC] The X-Files Vignette - Mulder & Scully at Area 51
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO Sci-FiHere's a little vignette inspired by THE X-FILES (not based on any particular episode or movie) with agents Fox Mulder & Dana Scully encountering a little gray alien at Area 51. I utilized no custom parts or printing. Mulder uses Agent Coulson's torso from 76077 as a base, while Scully uses Lois Lane's torso from 76046. The alien torso and head are taken from the CMF line, with the legs and hands swapped out for a more traditional look. Both figs have badges, cellphones, guns and flashlights. I also tried out some alternate hairpieces. Which do you prefer? Scully's is from the recent CMF veterinarian. One could wish for this part in more of an orange-red color, but of course Scully's shade has varied over the years. The shape here fits the character very well, I think. To finish things up, a shot of the base and an alternate angle on the completed model:
Updating Your Minifigs

[MOD] Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (30279 Polybag) w/ Movable Wings
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO Star WarsI picked up the polybag "30279 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle" at Target the other day, and couldn't resist making a few mods! My goal was to create movable wings that looked good in both upright and angled positions without substantially adding bulk to the model. The end result is highly swooshable. In addition to the redesigned body, I swapped out the light bley parts and whipped up a little stand. (The "ramp" was an OK play feature, but I've dispensed with it here.) Note that only two of the four 1x2 hinge plates actually connect to the body; the other two are just there for shaping and stability, with 1x1 round tiles between the fingers.
[MOD] LEGO Architecture Big Ben + Roman Numeral Clock Faces
Admonisher posted a topic in Special LEGO ThemesI was curious to know what the old LEGO Architecture Big Ben set (21013) would look like with the new roman numeral clock faces introduced in Disney Castle (71040), so I placed a Bricklink order. For the curious, here is the result: One could certainly wish for a more appropriate base color than reddish brown, but on the whole I think it's an improvement!
[MOC] Disney CMF Mini-Vignettes
Admonisher replied to Admonisher's topic in LEGO LicensedThanks very much! A not-huge apartment and lots of LEGO leads to space-saving display strategies. :) I often pare down sets I like to smaller dimensions for shelf purposes. So, for example... --> --> --> Perhaps future Disney waves will inspire some more mini-vignettes.
[MOC] Disney CMF Mini-Vignettes
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO LicensedI didn't pick up the entire Disney CMF line, or even most of it, but I couldn't resist snagging the minifigures from two of my favorite Disney movies: ALICE IN WONDERLAND and PETER PAN. My goal for these mini-vignettes was twofold: (a) showcase both minifigures in scenes evocative of their respective films, and (b) for each minifigure pair, take up a footprint no larger than two CMF bases (that is, 4x6). Here's what I came up with: Strictly speaking, of course, Alice did not have her bottle and cookie when she met the Cheshire Cat, and Neverland's Skull Rock was a lot larger -- but of course, I wasn't going for literal representations here. :) If anyone else has done Disney vignettes at this small scale, I'd love to see them!
Turning Microfighters into Micro-MODS
Admonisher replied to brickmasterben11's topic in LEGO Star WarsMy Millennium Falcon MOD from earlier this year: More views and an LDR file here.
[MOC] Imperial Star Destroyer Tyrant
Admonisher replied to Raskolnikov's topic in LEGO Star WarsWow! I was NOT expecting the fully tricked-out interior! That is ... mind blowing. (Also, it's a comparatively small detail, but love the use of the two-toned legs for the Imperial officers. First time I've seen that done.)
A better Force Pike for the Emperor's Royal Guards
Admonisher replied to Lord_Bloodwort's topic in LEGO Star WarsWhat you see in Lord_Bloodwort's original post is the very first version of the Emperor! It appeared in a few sets from 2000-2002. The set in Lord_Bloodwort's photo is the tiny 7200 Final Duel I, which I also used as the basis for my early throne room vignettes. (My latest is a modified version of last year's 75093 Death Star Final Duel.) For the most movie-accurate look, I highly recommend the aforementioned spear gun solution! As has been observed, you can turn the figures' hands around and they will appear to be standing "at attention," with their arms at their sides rather than awkwardly held out in front of them. Here's a little mini-build I made a while back to show off the feature (though I have since replaced the dark bluish gray spear guns with flat silver versions):
[MOC] Rethinking Harley Quinn's Mallet
Admonisher posted a topic in LEGO LicensedLike most, I love LEGO Harley Quinn! But I do NOT love the way the official sets have implemented her trademark carnival mallet. In all of the versions released to date, the handles are too small, the hammer ends are too oversized, and the gaps in the middle are distressingly obvious. I decided to try and come up with something a little more aesthetically pleasing by following these steps: 1. Begin with a 1x1 brick, modified with four side studs. 2. Attach a longer bar for the handle, so that it can be more easily held with two hands. 3. Use three 1x1 tiles to fill out the center. 4. Instead of 2x2 round bricks, use 2x2 round plates for the hammer barrel. 5. Add the 2x2 tiles to the ends. This works for both the black/red color scheme AND the reddish brown/tan color scheme. As a nifty bonus, using round plates instead of bricks lets you change up the colors to give the appearance of those bands you frequently see on traditional carnival mallets! Here's classic-outfit Harley modeling four variations for you: Here's another angle for a better sense of scale. These mallets are, IMO, still comically oversized without being ridiculous: Personally, I'm partial to variation #4. Here's Harley posing with a few of her fellow DC rogues... ...and facing off with a handful of familiar heroes... Hope you enjoy! And if anyone else would like to share their own rethought mallets here, I'd love to see them!

There are plenty of technical analysts calling for the beginning of a bear market after the past couple weeks of heavy volume selling. I'm certainly open to that possibility as I always respect price support breakdowns with accelerating volume. But the story behind the scenes isn't making a lot of sense and doesn't support that line of thinking. Typically, we see money flow away from aggressive sectors on a relative basis (vs. the benchmark S&P 500) before the plunge begins. The weakness recently, however, has been focused more on energy, materials and defensive groups, which is just plain odd. Bear markets can come in all shapes and sizes so I will definitely respect what's happened, but at the same time I will not be shocked if we magically resume the six year bull market once September is behind us. Compare how the aggressive sectors acted relative to the S&P 500 prior to the 2007 top to how they're acting now:
In 2007, both consumer discretionary and financials performed horribly BEFORE the S&P 500 topped. In other words, much of the smart money began rotating away from aggressive areas of the market prior to the recession that followed. And technology performed very poorly on a relative basis when the S&P 500 took its initial drop beginning in October 2007. Now fast forward to 2015 where we see consumer discretionary outperforming on a relative basis. The only true blemish with respect to the relative performance of aggressive sectors was a slight relative breakdown in industrials. A bear market generally tears apart aggressive areas of the market because those sectors are laden with high PE companies that typically free fall as PEs contract and GDP turns negative. The stock market always anticipates economic strength and/or weakness before it occurs.
But while the story behind the scenes doesn't make a lot of sense, I'm also watching our major indices and sectors struggle to clear rapidly-declining 20 day EMAs, a necessary first step to right this broken technical ship. Also, the Volatility Index (VIX) continues to print readings in the 20s and 30s two weeks after the initial selloff. During the brief V-bottom selling in October 2014, the VIX spiked above 30 but within just a few days retreated back to 15. On Friday, the VIX closed at 27.80 and reflects tremendous nervousness. Bears prey on fear and they've still got plenty to work with.
My conclusion is this. We COULD be in a transitional phase from bull market to bear market given the short-term high volume breakdowns. So until we begin to clear falling 20 day EMAs and the VIX settles back down below 20, I'll remain extremely cautious. I will be prepared, though, to become much more aggressive on the long side if the 6+ year bull market resumes.
Happy trading!

'Do not ignore this': Vicky Phelan urges women to listen to their bodies
Vicky Phelan, one of more than 200 Irish women to receive false-negative results for their smear tests in recent years, has been tirelessly campaigning for women's health since.
All the while fighting cervical cancer, the Limerick-native brought the cervical check scandal to light by refusing to sign a non-disclosure agreement at the high court. Not only that, Vicky's work has raised awareness for the symptoms of cervical cancer, as well as the drugs available to treat it.

cervical cancer drug available
Today, she's urging women to listen to their bodies. Sharing an emotional post on Twitter, Vicky said she was motivated by the recent death of Orla Church; another campaigner who passed away from the disease.
"This photo popped up on my Facebook Memories yesterday," Vicky's post began. "It's of me and my daughter, Amelia, taken during a holiday in Lanzarote, exactly four years ago. We went on a holiday to Lanzarote to get away from it all.
"The photo was taken three months after I had finished my treatment. I still didn't know how successful treatment had been. I didn't have a scan until after we came back from holidays. I really thought, at that time, the worst was over me and that I was finished with cancer.
"An applicator is inserted in your vagina. Rods are attached and whatever is left of your insides is radiated, 'just in case'..."
"I accepted being put into early menopause and going through barbaric brachytherapy treatment: you are given an epidural and knocked out three times in 10 days. An applicator is inserted in your vagina. Rods are attached and whatever is left of your insides is radiated, 'just in case'.
"Well, 'just in case' didn't work for me," Vicky said. "My cancer came back with a vengeance three years later, twice the size as the first time around, and I was faced with no options except for palliative chemotherapy, which I could not accept.
'Do not ignore this'
"I am sharing this here today to impress upon ALL you women how important it is to go for your smear but, more importantly, how important it is to know your body and to listen to your body.
"If you notice any irregular bleeding between your periods, particularly if the blood is a different colour (pink-red rather than dark red): do NOT ignore this.
"There is no cure unless you are lucky enough to get it caught early."
"If you have persistent lower back pain, like a period pain that won't go away, regardless of whether you are carrying small children on your hip or can find another explanation for back pain.
"If you bleed after sex, do NOT ignore this.
"For ANY or ALL of these symptoms, make an appointment straight away with your GP and insist on a colposcopy, particularly if your gut instinct tells you something is wrong.
"You do not want this cancer. There is no cure unless you are lucky enough to get it caught early."
See the Twitter thread in full below:
This is a long one but worth a read...

Rx Bandits The Resignation, 2003
This is another album that took me a while to get into. "Sell You Beautiful" had me from the start, but the rest of the album took some growing. I was expecting the same kind of ska/reggae/rock blend that had made their previous album Progress so amazing. And this album was so weird! It felt like Matt Embree wasn't singing into the microphone all the time and the time signatures of the songs were odd and disjointed. It certainly didn't grab me right away.
But I gave it some time. I let it play over and over and over and now I can see that this album leaves Progress in the dust. It's a complex album with lots of intricacies. It's the kind of album that, were it just a single track, I would enjoy just as much.
It's an album that gives you a sense of being in the room as these songs come together. The band is able to create the illusion that they just started jamming and these amazing songs were what came out of it. The laughing and yelling off mic are what do it for me in this respect. When she was talking about what initially drew her to Doomtree, Dessa said that she liked that you could picture them recording. You could hear the rustle of the pages of their notebooks. Rx Bandits bring that same sort of thing to this album. It reminds the listener that they are real people playing amazing music and not a jigsaw puzzle assembled of the best takes for each musician.
Rx Bandits - Sell You Beautiful
Rx Bandits - Never Slept So Soundly
You can buy The Resignation on Amazon MP3 and iTunes (I could not find a physical copy for less than $40)

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Thanks a lot Mayank for those tips. I'm one of those who get tired pretty early into the playing session. I have another question.
How should I do up my warmup routine?
The place I play in has three courts side by side and I jog the breadth of the courts for 4-5 laps. After the jog, I do some stretching and then move directly onto the court. On the court, we play a few tosses before we start the game. There have been days where I have to directly enter the court without any warmup (when there are lot of people vying for the same court, if I'm late etc). Is the jog and stretch good enough or should I do more?
Also please do suggest a warm-down routine. Currently, I'm not following any warm-down routine.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Wow !!! Those are the golden lines . It definately is a thinking game apart from the regular stuff, tricks, tweaks, flicks, dodges, false shots etc, etc .
The brain has to be very cool and always focused on the opponent and their moves . A calm and composed mind is the key .
@ MAyank : Awaiting the other shot narrations . Keep it coming Mate
A quick warmup schedule can be a 100-150 skips/jumps with a skipping rope (assuming you are light on your feet ) hardly takes a few minutes to get you warmed up . Also , dont start playing the smashes/ jump smashes / overtiring shots from game 1 itself . Save some energy and let your body get into a rythm , before playing power shots . All I would say , DO NOT ENTER the court without a warm up .

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Although i agree on the rest slightly disagree on the thinking game part, i believe its a instinctive game. Most of the time you go with gutt and instincts than proper thought process. Anyway either way appreciate the nice comments, and yes please pick up the game least it makes you fitter
Takes about 30 mins before i am ready to run to the court. Enough warm up for about 3 games in weekdays and about 3Doubles and 4 Singles games on weekends.
Days when i am not playing i do most of the above and run on treadmill for about 4-5Kms in 30mins

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Thinking game because you need to set up the next three shots with your first shot. You need to make your opponent do all the work and tire him out. In my experience, power players win the first few points or the first game but tire out by the end.
Anyways, let me stop preaching, to each his own!
Keep up the good work with this thread.
Last tip (don't know if it's already mentioned, not gone through the entire thread ): After the game, change immediately into a dry T and wear a sweat shirt / jacket till your body temperature equalizes. It takes a week to get used to wearing a sweatshirt but once you are used to it, it's just wonderful. You should also wear it in between games.
Accha now a layman type question:
What are the good brands of shuttles available nowadays? We used to have skylark and the cheaper albatross a decade ago. What's the cost. I hated those plastic shuttles.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
For tournament practice i use Yonex Aerosensa 40.
Skylark/albatross are no longer easily available in the market, i don't think they are now tournament grade as well.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Finally the new racquet arrived after much of trials and deliberations. The choice was between Voltric 70/80, ArcSaber 10. I had to go to the shop multiple times to try various flavors of racquets.
I was almost sold on ArcSacer 10 as the Voltric is sort of replacement of Armourtec series and as such is very head heavy. I liked the head heaviness and it did improve certain areas in my game but i was never able to tame it. Also being head heavy and Flex there was too much head movement that i found difficult to adjust. Being head heavy it helped immensely on my backhand clears it suddenly changed from good to explosive, but it impacted my smashes as i felt the flex made the head move slightly making my timing off by a fraction and hence the smashes were puny.
ArcSaber 10 seemed like a good balance and before closing the purchase he mentioned there is new ArcSaber that has arrived after 10 and that is 8Dx. Requested me to try and as soon as i held it in my hands it felt great. Its good lovely even balance to it and the slight head heaviness does not feel much. It was feeling powerful when just the slight touch of the shuttle made it go straight to the opponents baseline. It had loads of power but unlike the Z Slash it is easier to tame. More on this later, here are the pictures of this beauty.
My BIL decided to buy a Nanospeed 2000 at the same time. Will try this as well on the court and let folks know how it feels.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
This morning got an opportunity to play with a MP State level player of 2003/04 batch and boy what a game he had. More then focus on winning i was mesmerized with his movements on the court. Alright back to the new racquet.
Found the 8Dx to be a quiet balanced racquet, and while playing i noticed that my net plays have never been so good before, absolutely touching the net and no more than a few inches above the tape, awesome was the feeling. The smashes were adequate although i did not get enough and more opportunity to fire them but yes whenever i smashed it felt good and the shuttle flue at decent speeds.
The rear court play was also effortless and the clears went past the opponent to the baseline every time. Somehow i felt i got a perfect racquet which suits my game to very well.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Backhand Return On the Net
Although there is no replacement to strengthening the elbow and wrist especially in the case of backhand one could still get around this problem to a certain degree. There are three areas from where you can use backhand return.
Out of these three the first two do not need a lot of strength of the elbow and the wrist and can be mastered with ease. Only the third one needs more preparation and precision.
First we will look at making a backhand return from closer to the net, for this keep the following things in mind.
Forehand Grip, notice the place of thumb
Backhand Grip, note the thumb moves slightly and now rests on the grip.
For the backhand return closer to the net, notice the movement of the thumb and the the power generated through the thumb and wrist combination. There is not much racquet movement and hence difficult to spot and anticipate the intentions until one finally hits the shuttle.
The same rule applies for returns on forehand closer to the net, only this time there is no change in thumb position and all the power gets generated by the wrist. Note always the right leg moves closer to the net giving you an ability to place the shuttle to any part of the opponents court.
Tomorrow we talk about Backhand returns from mid court

Re: The right way to play Badminton
The Yonex AS2 is priced around 800-900 a box.The price rise is attributed to non-availability of duck feather and most of the duck feather now a days comes in from Bangladesh and what is interesting to note is that irrespective of the brand of shuttles,they are all manufactured in Uluberia in Kolkata!
Just a tip from my side not sure if its already been mentioned somewhere on the thread.For all those people who play with feather shuttles,if you want to preserve the flight and keep the shuttle going for longer periods of time,then just make sure you dont leave those boxes lying in your cars or any place exposed to direct heat.Store them up in your freezer compartments in the refrigerator and see the difference for yourself.The only difference between the Mavises and the feather ones is that when it comes to net play,the plastic shuttles lose out.Plastic shuttles are very good for endless rallies as they slow down in the air.
Mayank,just an afterthought,would it be a good idea for you to include details of amateur tournaments that you hear of in Bangalore into this thread?am sure that would be enriching as well.I used to be a winner at the citinest tournaments(not even sure if those things happen anymore)and they used to be fun as more than anything else it gives people an opportunity to measure their level of games against newer people.
Once again many thanks for starting off something like this.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
@Mayank - First of all, thanks for an absolutely fantastic thread. You dunno how many times I've read through it, start to finish, trying to grapple every little bit of advice you throw our way.
I've been a strictly average (but regular) badminton player through my school and college days. Had an uncle who played Badminton at a national level in the 70's. Though he never gave me any direct tutelage, the enthusiasm definitely came from seeing his exploits! Never received any formal coaching, and learnt whatever I did on court (and from other advanced players). When I read your explanations on this thread, it makes me rue the fact :(. It has also made me sit up and renew my SAI badminton court membership. Just looking for a good partner in Kolkata to go practice with everyday.
After passing some time with crap entry level equipment, someone got me a decent "Wish" racket. Was surprised to see how much of a difference good equipment makes to your game. Played with it for many years. Much later in life, bought a Yonex Carbonex 8000. Both are still with me, in good condition. Time to shake off the dust!
Anyway, I'm totally hooked on to this thread. Keep writing, keep explaining the finer nuances of the game to us.
Just out of general interest, here's a list of the world's top ranked players and the equipment they use:

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Picked up the sport again 2 years back when one day one of my very good friend (and a very pathetic player at that, beat me pink and blue). Took it up as challenge and in 2-3 weeks consistently beat him back. These days i am in an endeavor to beat a player who is younger (11 years to be exact), and hugely better in terms of technique and stamina (Just to give an idea, he smashes on backhand from baseline ), but in six months time i will pull 50% of the games i play with him (Thats the goal). So moral of the story, its never too late to start.
Last week i pulled one game out of many games i played with him and two things that helped me achieve that (Apart from his not being in the groove and me being wonderfully there for that one game), is change of my contact lenses, and change of my shoes. I am planning to cover that as well along with some exercises on the court that can help body movement.
I am still struggling with posting quality stuff (especially with backhand and jump smash) and only video posting can do justice to the message hence focussed on taking videos as of now. Once they are ready will post them.
BTW its interesting to read what the champions use (Thanks for the link) but keep in mind most of them use customized equipment and not the ones available in the market.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
On Shoes and Vision
Two of the most critical pieces of equipment after the racket itself. Few words of advise
These were the two most important changes that i made in last two weeks that made me at least stand on the court and fight the champ. There are few more finer points that needs fixing and i am working on them.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Some of the videos that i am struggling to put together, do watch them.
This one talks about court movement, and stepping from Peter Rasmussen, this i do it as a shadow practice every day and trust me it gets more tiring then actually playing a rally. Watch from 5min section onwards it specifically talks about body position post the shuttle return. It should be such that it naturally lends itself to the next return.
This is another video by Peter Gade although its in Danish its not too difficult to understand what he is trying to say. Observe the way he jumps to the net to receive the shuttle. Peter Gade is someone who is oldest in the circuit and still one of the best (He is consistently have been top 5 ranked player)

Re: The right way to play Badminton
My first video upload on the grip changes from forehand to backhand. Other videos will be uploaded after personal review. Guys let me know if this is more helpful or your views if this should be done differently.
I have used a replacement grip and a over grip recquet. Over grips make the grip thicker and hence make it slightly more difficult to rotate although more comfortable to hold.

Re: The right way to play Badminton
Another excellent video on grips explanation, this one also talks about grip for the use from the rear of the court.
To generate power what is more important is to generate good amount of head speed and not the full racquet speed. In forehand you have a choice to swing the racket (the lead time is more) to generate the required head speed. In backhand its usually not there hence the importance of thumb.
What is also important is the use of wrist+elbow to generate power (Forehand and backhand) it makes it difficult for your opponent to anticipate what you are intending to do.
So moral of the story Dont swing the racquet like they do in tennis

Had a great time. We were a party of 5 and did the Uncooked game. Person who checked us in explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. At the end of game she went over how we did and explained some of the puzzles where were stuck on - eye opener! lol Everyone enjoyed themselves and would definitely go back and do it again. Uncooked game was different from other escape room game types which was a nice surprise and change. Instead of trying to beat the clock to get out of a room, you're fighting the clock to try to make as many recipes/dishes as possible - nice twist. Good for all ages.Darkwing O.
Lot of fun and the employees were great. I would recommend this experience to anyone lookin for a good time.Arnie L.
First time here and had a great time! The lady who was our guide was top notch. Super helpful and explained everything perfectly. We manage to escape in just under 60 mins and only asked for help 4 times. The instructor said the average was 6 so we are the bomb.Silly B.
Did the Wizarding Room - very well thought, although you should bring someone who loves traditional newspaper puzzles. Will definitely go back with more friends.Molly B.
Super fun! Awesome staff! We did the Wizard escape & made it out with 5 minutes to spare!Abby Marie D.
Square Room Escapes is a decent escape room (nothing crazy elaborate set wise) but they have some fun puzzles. We did the "wizard" room a couple years back and it was quite enjoyable. We managed to escape with a few seconds to spare. Nice time, very professional, and I was happy that it was a private room.Dr D.
