I made IR goggles once. They were neat. These ones were unpowered, so rather than being 'night-vision goggles' they were only usable in bright sunlight. Turns out that the human eye ]can see IR, its just so bad at it that any other light at all will wash it out, with welding goggles that have removable lenses and lighting gels you can filter out everything but IR for some interesting sights.

Yeah, the piece for my helmet doesn't actually do anything, other than light up and look cool. But back in my final semester of undergrad when I took a glass working class we did have to wear welding glasses in order to avoid both IR and UV damage (IIRC) from the rays the white hot glass would emit. Good times, those... Tread: I think we could use the mayo as Xenomorph slime?

This is the set of directions that I used to make mine. Plants are among the more interesting things to look at, especially in spring, where you can see which parts of people's lawns are starting to grow or not.

Received my first holiday gift to myself -- Some action figure accessories from Marauder Gun-Runners. Besides guns, they have all kinds of other interesting stuff, including stuff I can used to make a bunker setup -- a table, folding chair, locker, bunkbed, and map/blackboard. This will be useful for the pack of their new figures I've got coming. www.dropbox.com/s/aett1g6prq3x5qa/DSC00038.JPG?dl=0www.dropbox.com/s/jn41sbh4q33hepw/DSC00039.JPG?dl=0In the area of reading, I just finished The Rescue of Bat 21, and started Rick Riordan's Kane Chronicles.

Awesome outfit, Trooper! ]I think we are thinking of drastically different games, Chem... Although the one you mentioned also can involve a "chicken." Is this not a backgammon forum? -___ Edit - Today I used some of my phone credit freebee rewardz (yes they spelled it like that) that I've built up over the years and spent 2000 pointz out of my 5500 to get a £20 amazon gift voucher, which I just spent getting the old 3rd edition warhammer siege book. The voucher and the book were the same price so I just had to pay the postage price. Used to own the book until I lent it to someone, so I am finally getting my book back!

It'd be interesting if you'd written your name in it, and it was your original one.

Today I woke up with a sore throat, cough, feeling mildly nauseated and like I was burning up, and every joint in my body is screaming in pain. Working for two days this week in a plague zone seems to have caught up with me, and Papa Nurgle has bestowed his blessings upon me.

"State of the badass art!" While running errands to stock up on stuff in anticipation of being out of commission for the next few days, I did manage to find some batteries to make the IR viewer to light up. They weren't the proper size, but the are the correct voltage, so I call it a win. Now to go continue decomposing... *Coughs up chunks of lung and a purple, fluffy bondage Nurgling*

I hope you're coughing up those Nurgle bondage-lings in the sink, where they can get flushed out, ready to attack any passing sewer rats, alligators or dormant red dragons in your local sewer system... It'd be interesting if you'd written your name in it, and it was your original one. I don't think it will be. For starters this one is hardback, someone called me at 08;30 this morning, just to tell me that. Hope they're sending the right book...

Trooper, why are you always sick?

Trooper, why are you always sick? Because I have to work in schools, which are essentially giant Petri dishes, with precious chillun's who don't understand the necessity of covering their mouths and noses when they cough and sneeze, and with janitors who don't give a nuts about keeping the bathrooms properly stocked with paper towels and soap. The school I was at Monday and Tuesday was being worse than decimated in terms of kids home sick with the flu and the whatever the other viral nasty that is doing the rounds is (1 out of 7 students). Faculty were dropping like flies too. And then there were the aforementioned sick kids who shouldn't have even been at school, but were, who were spreading plague everywhere. Also: Papa Nurgle loves me.

its too expensive to keep a kid at home. means taking time off work *(which isn't legal as you're not the one who is sick) or paying for child care.
then there's the fact parents can forget to tell kids about basic hygiene, and the fact that kids will completely forget about it anyway.
add the milling throngs of warm corridors and eating halls and papa nurgle gets all happyfied.
and janitors are nurgle-zombies in the most obvious form so far.
at work there is a cleaner who also works at a school. you can tell this by the fact that nothing is clean.

Don't forget the people who don't vaccinate their children for fear of making them autistic awesome. This is, incidentally, an excellent reason why every school should have at least one full-time nurse, but unfortunately it loses out, like with shop and the arts, to varsity sports and remodeling.

When I was little, we did have full time nurses. In fact, my elementary school had a small medical staff, complete with mini-pharmacy. It was in a one-room infirmary behind the principal's office, presumably so that he or she could use it like a medicine cabinet.

Yeah I got the data on the 1 out of 7 attack rate from the school's nurse when I was sitting in the front office at the end of the day Monday and she came in to talk to one of the administrators. I probably shouldn't have gone back to work there on Tuesday, but I wanted a chance to chat up the hawt Instructional Assistant I had been paired with for several classes. At the end of our last class I gave her my number and asked her if she'd like to get a beer sometime. Hopefully she calls... Also, on Monday I actually got two of the kids in that class who were having the most trouble with their math to understand what was going on, which was a great feeling, and I kinda wanted to provide them with consistency the second day (and we actually did make more progress) so all in all it was worth it.

Today I have finished recuperating from my third semester at college, coming out of it with only a very minor case of massive addiction to Magic the Gathering as a downside.
Also, just recently got Wargame: Red Dragon. Apparently it was too much of me to expect an actual tutorial with the thing :\

RT, Tread, and Empty play Red Dragon, as a heads up. I do too, but I prefer to play a custom mod that I've thrown together.

So your sick days are only for when the employee is sick? We can in the UK. Also my mum works in a school, wife in a hospital and I used to go into many people's houses each day. We all have great immune systems because of this and rarely get ill.

Apparently it was too much of me to expect an actual tutorial with the thing :\ I was raging when I first got ALB because it gave me a bunch of gip trying to load it and then the tutorials are so lacklustre. It is great once you have an idea what you are doing. Oh, I was also using the touchpad when I first tried to play, not being able to zoom is the worst.

Today, after finally getting a chance to really read through the new Blood Angels' codex, I have come to the sad realization that, aside from spamming missile launchers with flakk, the only anti-air available to BA is the Space Guppy, and if I'm serious about pursuing the Version 2.0 incarnation of my BA, using the beautiful new plastics and much better methods for painting them that are available nowadays, I'm going to have to get one for my army.
While I'm glad that the Blood Angels didn't get Centurions, it would have been nice to make the Hunter and Derp Talon available to them so they could have more AA choices...
