x1NqdUaSZzY)) as I had some on hand and didn't want to try to find a large quantity of high concentration (95% or better) Isopropyl Alcohol. From what I've seen online, you need the high concentration or it doesn't really work. The Klean Strip is supposed to be roughly half Ethyl
and half Methanol. Both are pretty nasty stuff and you don't want to use either of them near flame or without proper ventilation. Then again, resin itself is pretty
dang nasty and must be used in a well ventilated area. Definitely not something to mess with in a small apartment. My printer is setup in the garage for now. Even
then I quickly discovered that I needed to re-weather strip the garage door to avoid fumes sneaking into the rest of the house.

Final cure, is a bit of a problem though. So far, I'm going with about 10~20 minutes outdoors. I've ordered a stop gap
[curing chamber](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H7Y1HQY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to play with since the Wash & Cure
machine has an ominous "delayed" on it's tracking number. This might ultimately prove to be all I really need for the curing side of things, not sure just yet.
My understanding is that curing only takes a few minutes per part in a UV chamber and you don't want to over do it or you risk cracking, yellowing, and generally destroying 
the print.

For a first "real" project, I'm hoping to reproduce a clone of ["The Brain" from Magnif](https://youtu.be/o6V1UlEzdD8). The original had a black base with transparent disks
and a black base. There was a short run available some years back with a red base and glitter embedded in the disks. Even that has become unobtanium now and Magnif
seems to have gone out of business. I found a [clone on Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:723825) and decided to give it a try. I picked the
[remix by bgkdavis](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1580964) that theoretically avoids the need for glued parts. I'm pretty sure the parts are mostly interchangeable 
between the three versions, at least I really hope they are since this thing is probably going to take me 20+ hours to print.

I printed the base flat and scaled everything down to 75% of the original size to get it to fit on my printer. That's still reasonably large enough to be usable and fits
well enough that I don't have to do anything really exotic with supports (yay Lychee auto support!).

The edges are a bit rough, but that's likely due to my inexperience with post processing and lack of a good wash tank. I'm improvising with some small plastic tubs that
once held takeout hot and sour soup. I did go exotic with the discs, and printed them hanging vertically rather than flat to save on the total number of prints I'm going
to have to deal with. If you look closely, you can see the pin-prick spots where support material broke free.

The next set of parts is on the printer right now, hopefully cycling away in the garage. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish printing and get it assembled this weekend. If
not, the printing process doesn't require my direct attention so long as the resin vat is topped up. I can kick off a print and ignore it for most of the run with no real
worries.


Anthony was on The Late Late Show with Stephen Colbert yesterday. I’ve added some photos of him arriving to the show and a couple of videos of his appearance.

I’ve updated the gallery with over 40 photos of Anthony on the Set Of Univision’s ‘Despierta America’.]
Hey everyone, I don’t want to jinx it but as we’re having a quiet couple of days before Anthony kicks off press in the US again for both ‘Captain America: Civil War’ and his new HBO movie ‘All The Way,’ decided to do some catch up with a few photos I couldn’t update in the last few weeks.
Huge thanks to my friends Aurélie, Carol, Alikat for some of the photos and a special shout out to my friend Pafhan who attended the Singapore Premiere and sent me some photos she took.

The Motorola V262 is a standard Motorola flip phone for Alltel Wireless. It supports changeable faceplates, and it's relatively mid-sized at 3.5 by 1.8 by 0.9 inches and 3.8 ounces. The rectangular external display is monochrome, but it shows all the necessary information, including the battery-life time, signal strength, and caller ID.
Other features include a 65,000-color internal display, a vibrate mode, text and multimedia messaging, a wireless Web browser, a speakerphone, polyphonic ring tones, voice dialing, support for POP3 and IMAP4 e-mail and basic PIM functions. The promised battery life is three hours of talk time and 12.5 days standby time. The Motorola V262 is $59 with service.
I have pondered a lot over the past days whether to write or not about Kevin Spacey. I have been, and still am, a huge fan. I am also a public relations professional and a woman who has, like pretty much every other woman in Eastern European Romania, seen and experienced her fair share of sexual harassment or inappropriate behaviour.
I have read in horror all the witness stories written about Harvey Weinstein and empathised, just like everyone else with a pulse and a heart in the right place, with those who have been pushed around, denied roles, threatened or molested by a bully in a position of power.
But somehow, in my book, nothing that has been so far written about Kevin Spacey registers in the same way. I hear people who have been bothered by a massage in an age where sexual partners are chosen on Tinder. I hear vertically moral people bothered by a blow job in a gay bar in a country where this happens pretty much every year.
I see a world class career destroyed in a matter of days in a whirlwind of social media where anonymous comments evoke shady incidents that are literally from the last century. I see that a theatre – which has been brought back to glory from rubble and disarray by Spacey and endowed with a humongous amount of money not two years ago – is trying to ride the publicity wave by opening a “confidential email address” where people are encouraged to spill the beans on Kevin Spacey.
I can’t rule out the possibility that I might be horribly wrong. The private lives of individuals cannot be judged objectively by outsiders. You can never know all the inner details of a crisis situation as long as you are not in the room… But I would have felt extremely hypocritical if I had not written this. Kevin Spacey was the one to make me come to London and experience world class theatre for years and years and years… He left me in awe following his performances in Richard III, Inherit the Wind, Clarence Darrow, The Usual Suspects, but also for The Life of David Gale. He left me in tears after the wildly emotional speech he delivered the night before leaving The Old Vic as a Creative Director.

After three days of high altitude acclimatisation in Lhasa (3,700m or 12,000ft), today we embark on our first leg to Everest Base Camp, some 700km away. This part of the journey is a 300km road-trip, with 2 mountain passes close to 5,000m high to cross near Nagarze and Gyantse. The plan is to overnight in Shigatse, the 2nd largest city in Tibet.
For orientation, please see MAP HERE.
