You Can’t Spell ‘A To Z April Challenge’ Without ‘Oz’

I was seeing to some correspondence in the study last night when my butler Montgomery arrived with the tray of ribs and pitcher of Old Fashioneds I’d requested. “Ah, perfect timing,” I said. “Place them on the desk here — I don’t know, somewhere within arm’s reach.”

“Jolly good, guv’nor,” Monty said. “And how are we this evening, wot wot?”

“Excellent.” I grabbed a rib and gnawed at it briefly. “In fact, more than excellent. You see, the thrill of the hunt is upon me.”

“Hunt, sir?”

“Well, thrill of the challenge to be precise,” I said, then paused to polish off the rib. “Specifically, this ‘Blogging From A to Z April Challenge’ business. Here, take a look.”

Blogging From A to Z April Challenge 2013

If other participants in 2013’s Blogging From A to Z April Challenge don’t bring their A-games, they’ll quickly be inhaling Mr. Carver’s dust.

I swiveled my monitor in his direction and pointed to the screen. “See? More than a thousand bloggers going mano-a-mano in a no-holds-barred, steel-cage death match of the mind.”

“Oh, I say! That does sound exciting.”

“Ah, but that’s not the half of it,” I said, grabbing another rib. “Hold on a second.”

I proceeded to wolf down that rib and chased it with three more in rapid succession. I then opened my mouth to speak, reconsidered, raised an index finger, ate a fifth rib, and went on.

“Yes,” I said. At least it started as speech, but then evolved into an extended belch. No joke, that thing went on for a good 35, 45 seconds. Not too shabby if I do say so myself. I quaffed the pitcher of Old Fashioneds for a moment, wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, and continued. “There are conditions.”

“Conditions? God save the Queen!”

“Indeed. The challenge begins Monday, then continues every weekday and Saturday through the end of April.”

“My word! That’s 26 days!”

“Correct,” I said, nodding, “but that’s still not all of it. Each day corresponds to one letter of the alphabet, running sequentially from ‘A’ to ‘Z’ — and challengers must post on a topic that starts with that day’s letter!”

Monty shrieked, his withered, bony hands flying up to cover his gaping mouth.

“Great Nixon’s Ghost!” I said, covering my ears. “What the hell’s come over you?”

“Sorry, m’lord,” he said. He shook his head and straightened his lapels. “It’s just, well — what you just described to me is madness. Pure madness! And what happens to the challengers who aren’t able to keep up? What then, eh?”

I shrugged, belched, and reached for another rib. “Dunno,” I said between bites. “I assume they’ll be — taken out back — and shot? Something like that.” I dropped the finished rib bone and grabbed a fresh one. “Certainly none of my concern. After all, I’m a natural-born champion.”

“Well, I suppose you know what you’re doing—”

“Damn right.”

“—but I do hope you’ll be careful. ‘Q’ sounds like a tricky one for you to write about without coming off as homophobic, wot wot?”

“Perish the thought, Monty. Not only will I finish without resorting to homophobia, but I’m feeling confident about taking first prize.”

“Oh? What are the prizes?”

“Not sure. The A to Z website is oddly mum on the topic, but it must be something fabulous.”

“Right-o, guv’nor,” Monty said. “I’ll leave you to it. Do you require anything else at this time?”

I briefly pondered the question, and in doing so realized I was still holding an uneaten rib. I rectified the situation with due haste and nodded. “Yes,” I said, “A fresh tub of butter.”

“Jolly good, sir! I’ll be right back with it lickety-split, or my name’s not Montgomery!”

As Monty turned to leave, his foot snagged on my desk. He flew forward, nearly caught himself, then landed solidly on his face with a rather sickening thud. More alarmingly, his right arm tipped the rib tray during his descent, causing the platter to perform a perfect Triple Lindy before showering him and much of my study with ribs and barbecue sauce.

“Well then,” I said, grabbing the fortunately unscathed pitcher of Old Fashioneds as I headed to the door. “I suppose I’ll need a fresh tray of ribs, too. I’ll be in the media room when they’re done.”

So there it is, fellow A to Z challengers — my gauntlet is thrown. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to finish rewatching season 2 of Game of Thrones in advance of Sunday night’s season 3 premiere. See you Monday.

Otterly Amazing Reads: The Night Circus

Do you have any books which you put off reading? You just knew you’d probably love them, they sound so wonderful and you’re seeing it in every bookshop (or online but I found today’s book well before I found bookstagram). Everyone loves said book, but what if you’re that one anomaly who doesn’t. What if it doesn’t meet your soaring bookish expectations?

Well that is how I felt about The Night Circus. Even pre-bookstagram this was a book whose hype I could physically feel as I held the book. Not only that but it was weighed down with my own expectations that this was a book I should love. Fortunately having eventually bought a copy in a charity shop I fell completely under the spell of this dazzlingly beautiful novel.

For those of you who have not read The Night Circus it is the story of Le Cirque des Rêves which appears suddenly and without warning, only opening at night and disappearing as suddenly as it arrives.

The circus is enchanting, a unique experience filled with the marvellous and the sublime. A magic world is captured under its black and white striped tents. Little do those visiting know that the circus was born out of an intense and all consuming rivalry between two star crossed lovers. Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors, have no idea they are trapped in a game which will have only one victor.

The beauty of this book lies in the beauty of Erin Morgenstern’s prose which is at once luxurious and entrancing – as a good fantasy should be – and also told with a touch of logic (I saw an article which described it as “matter of factness about the magicians magic”) which, within a finely crafted world, tricks the reader (with magic that Celia and Marco would be proud to take credit for) into thinking they are reading about a real world.

I was lost in the gentle love story and felt as though the Night Circus had actually popped up around me (no mean feat when I was reading in my very first, and very cramped, flat). At a time when many of us are looking for escapism from a world which feels increasingly small this is a book which will happily sweep you up and transport you to a magical world (especially if you have managed to make your way through the Disney back catalogue during lockdown).

Morgenstern’s prose will give you the rich technicolour delight, surprise and whimsy which we all loved so much as children but which sometimes can be missing in our adult lives. This is a book to wrap yourself in – not to analyse, but to enjoy.

So having written all of this I now want to go back and read this marvellous book all over again. I won’t just yet by I do have The Starless Sea to read and my love of the Night Circus has set my expectations as high as the peaks of the circus tents at Le Cirque des Rêves.

Have you read Night Circus? What did you think about it?

About this Plan

A-Bomb. Control line stunt model.

Hi Steve - Here is Bobby Jones' A Bomb from Model Airplane News magazine issue 06-53.

Quote: "Designed expressly for the K&B .19, this ship is a bit of a bomb. Class A-bomb, get it? With bigger engines and experienced pilot, it almost talks."

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Did we get something wrong with these details about this plan (especially the datafile)? That happens sometimes. You can help us fix it.

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.

Good morning Jesus, Good morning Son. I know You came from heaven above. The Holy Spirit is on throne, Good morning Jesus, Good morning Son. In the morning early in the morning, in the morning I will raise and praise the Lord. Thank You Father, Thank You Jesus, Thank You my Saviour, Thank  You my dear Lord.

Our Father with a grateful heart we come before You; we bow before Your Throne with the Twenty and Four Elders in heaven shouting Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest.

Beloved, are you joining me in this awesome moment as we exalt the Name of the Lord above every other names. Praise the Lord. Come let us praise His Name forever, our worship honors God and bring down His blessings to us. I want to be blessed, what about you? Let us bring down His glory and dwell in His presence forever.

Beloved, do you know that it is God’s desire that we dwell in His Presence all the days of our life. It is also one of the recited prayers we were taught while learning how to pray ‘to dwell in God’s Presence forever and ever. The Psalmist said the Name of the Lord is a strong tower, the righteous ran into it and they are saved. Are you desiring His Presence today? Are you desiring to be saved as well?

The love of God is encompassing. His love makes His grace available for you. This same love ensures your safety, your provision, protection, healings, and deliverances, it makes you whole and forgive you all your sins.

Jesus paid your debt in full. There is no recurrent fees or expense to be paid again therefore the judge declared you free. You are discharge and acquitted. You may not appreciate this gesture if You have never be close to it but ask anyone who have gone through trial in the court of law with a possible conviction option, ask him or her the true taste of ‘FREEDOM’.

That was our case before we were found by ‘grace’ and save by Christ:

Whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.” Proverbs 1:33

Divine love is rendered conspicuous when it shines in the midst of judgments. Fair is that lone star which smiles through the rifts of the thunder clouds; bright is the oasis which blooms in the wilderness of sand; so fair and so bright is love in the midst of wrath.

When the Israelites provoked the Most High by their continued idolatry, He punished them by withholding both dew and rain, so that their land was visited by a sore famine; but while He did this, He took care that His own chosen ones should be secure. If all other brooks are dry, yet shall there be one reserved for Elijah; and when that fails, God shall still preserve for him a place of sustenance; nay, not only so, the Lord had not simply one “Elijah,” but He had a remnant according to the election of grace, who were hidden by fifties in a cave, and though the whole land was subject to famine, yet these fifties in the cave were fed, and fed from Ahab’s table too by His faithful, God-fearing steward, Obadiah.

Let us from this draw the inference, that come what may, God’s people are safe. Let convulsions shake the solid earth, let the skies themselves be rent in twain, yet amid the wreck of worlds the believer shall be as secure as in the calmest hour of rest. If God cannot save His people under heaven, He will save them in heaven. If the world becomes too hot to hold them, then heaven shall be the place of their reception and their safety.

Be ye then confident, when ye hear of wars, and rumours of wars. Let no agitation distress you, but be quiet from fear of evil. Whatsoever cometh upon the earth, you, beneath the broad wings of Jehovah, shall be secure.

Stay yourself upon His promise; rest in His faithfulness, and bid defiance to the blackest future, for there is nothing in it direful for you. Your sole concern should be to show forth to the world the blessedness of hearkening to the voice of wisdom.

Yes! Christ is the Wisdom, hope you know that? No circumstances shall threatened a believer in Christ (Rom 8:33-35; 37-39).

How many are mine iniquities and sins?” Job 13:23

Have you ever really weighed and considered how great the sin of God’s people is? Think how heinous is your own transgression, and you will find that not only does a sin here and there tower up like an alp, but that your iniquities are heaped upon each other, as in the old fable of the giants who piled Pelian upon Ossa, mountain upon mountain.

What an aggregate of sin there is in the life of one of the most sanctified of God’s children! Attempt to multiply this, the sin of one only, by the multitude of the redeemed, “a number which no man can number,” and you will have some conception of the great mass of the guilt of the people for whom Jesus shed His blood.

But we arrive at a more adequate idea of the magnitude of sin by the greatness of the remedy provided. It is the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s only and well-beloved Son. God’s Son! Angels cast their crowns before Him! All the choral symphonies of heaven surround His glorious throne. “God over all, blessed for ever. Amen.” And yet He takes upon Himself the form of a servant, and is scourged and pierced, bruised and torn, and at last slain; since nothing but the blood of the incarnate Son of God could make atonement for our offences.

No human mind can adequately estimate the infinite value of the divine sacrifice, for great as is the sin of God’s people, the atonement which takes it away is immeasurably greater. Therefore, the believer, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past is bitter, can yet stand before the blazing throne of the great and holy God, and cry, “Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died; yea rather, that hath risen again.”

While the recollection of his sin fills him with shame and sorrow, he at the same time makes it a foil to show the brightness of mercy—guilt is the dark night in which the fair star of divine love shines with serene splendour.

Beloved, the grace of God brought salvation to us least any might boost that it is by works we were saved, let this grace available at the mercy seat at this moment not be in vain. May it work for you and bring you out of the bondage of satan through your sinful nature and establish you into dominion that is Christ Jesus.  Is someone blessed! Is someone getting saved by this message.

If you are a reader of this devotional and you remain in your chains after this period, then Christ will come in flesh again to save you. You must release yourself into the saving grace made available for you at this all important time for the Lord. The tenth month is a period of ‘double grace’, so the ‘Exceeding Grace’ so costly but because of you, God gave a release from heaven so that you will join the elect and receive salvation from the Throne of grace, Alleluia! Somebody.

Make yourself available and be save.

Remain blessed in the Lord.

Paulin Pancakes

cVvZoZmCOnw5-AWq3GuQhHKADpLhO9DefAevtvcaNPo=w788-h524-noLook at this face? Is he not adorable. Imagine waking up next to this face, with those heart melting chocolate eyes pleading you to make pancakes. Imagine that happening every hour from 2 am to 9 am. What is a girl to do? Make pancakes of course!

Once I finally drag myself out of bed and gaze at my pantry I panic for a moment. Oh…. I could be in a trouble. No coconut flour. No almond flour. All I have is tapioca flour and flaxmeal. Hmm…. breathe. I can do this. Throw on some confidence. I am going to make some bomb tapioca flax pancakes.

Then true to style, I kind of dump things in a bowl according to my natural gut feeling of what will taste good, pour it in a skillet, and then pray (manifest/believe) that it will turn out pancake like. Once it starts to cook, I hesitantly peak to flip it over. Let a sigh of relief. This is going to work out. Not only did they work out but they were tasty and I had just enough honey to drizzle on top and please this adorable little face. “Brittany you are the best cook!” Is there any better way to start your day, then for your nephew to think you rule the world? I think not, especially when he looks up at me with sparkling eyes and says he loves me. Heart melted.

Paulin Pancakes

  • 1 1/4 cup tapioca flour
  • 1/3 cup flaxmeal
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 egg
  • 2 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Let’s Make it Happen: Heat a little coconut oil in a skillet. Whisk all of the ingredients in a bowl. Pour into the hot skillet. Allow to cook on one side. Flip before it starts to get toasty. Drizzle with honey or maple! Or as I learned, cut and serve maple on the side so Trent can dip.

Full Review

The folks at Able Carry understand the importance of a quality everyday carry pack—one that’s efficient, made with long-lasting materials, and has a streamlined look and feel.

The Able Carry Daily Backpack reflects all of these things. It houses your daily essentials and leaves out unnecessary gadgets and gizmos that simply add weight (and expense). This pack offers a comfortable, streamlined carry.

We’ve been using this bag as our everyday carry for two weeks now, so let’s jump into the review.

Materials & Aesthetic

This pack is a unique oval shape—this paired with the green color is giving us definite turtle vibes (which we mean as a compliment). It’s also very streamlined—no dangling straps or bulging pockets.

There are a few Hypalon tags throughout this pack adorned with the Able Carry logo—this branding is subtle and soft in the hand, both things we appreciate.

At the time of this review, the Able Carry Daily Backpack comes in eight colorways, and there are different materials depending on which colorway you choose—five are made with X-Pac fabric, and the other three with 1000D CORDURA nylon. The Olive colorway we’ve been testing is made with CORDURA nylon, and it’s held up well in our testing thus far. But both fabric options are highly durable. X-Pac is more water-resistant, though you really can’t go wrong with either—all depends on your personal preference.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Zippers

The zippers are from the trusted brand YKK and they’ve been working smoothly throughout our testing. Plus, you’ll find Hypalon zipper pulls throughout, which are easy to grab and vary in length depending on the pocket—a thoughtful design touch if you ask us.

You’ll also find some Duraflex hardware on here, which we’ve had positive experiences with on other bags in the past—everything is working as it should so far.

External Components

The first thing you’ll notice on this pack is the seat belt-like webbing that runs along the outside, creating a series of loops. They give the bag a unique look that we’ve been digging. But they’re not just for looks, as they allow you to hang stuff with a carabiner clip—your water bottle, an extra pair of shoes, anything you can think of.

The distinct A-frame suspension (that nylon webbing we just talked about) is designed to alleviate the pressure on your shoulders by shifting the bulk of the weight off of them—and keep your posture on point for longer periods of time. While we can’t say for sure that it’s working, we haven’t had any issues with Saggy Pack Syndrome during our testing so far, which is a good sign. Overall, we’ve found it to be a comfortable carry.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Shoulder Straps
Able Carry Daily Backpack Shoulder Straps

The Daily Backpack’s shoulder straps are nicely padded with dual-density foam. This is made from laminating high-density foam and low-density foam together, so you get the benefits of both. The firmness of high-density foam offers extra support while the softness of low-density foam keeps you comfy. There’s also mesh on the back of the straps for added breathability. And at the bottom of the straps, you have that same smooth, seat belt-like material with elastic keepers to keep dangling to a minimum, which we dig.

On the shoulder straps you’ll find the sternum strap, which we didn’t get much use out of. Considering what you’re probably carrying in here, it’s not a necessity for us on a pack this size—not as essential as it would be on a larger travel bag filled with heavy gear, anyway. It’s also pretty short, so if you have a wider chest you may not be able to get it adjusted how you’d like—or use it all. It hasn’t been an issue during our testing, just an observation. We do like the olive fabric welt that sits over the sternum strap to hide it when not in use—this is part of what gives this pack its clean look.

And for when you’d rather carry by hand, or just for picking the bag up and putting it down, there’s a padded handle at the top that carries nicely. We like its seat belt-like material—it’s soft to the touch and comfortable to grab.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Back Panel

The back panel is lined with the same mesh you see on the shoulder straps. It’s is also densely padded to create air channels for added breathability—not as dense as we’ve seen on some bags, but definitely better than most. The frame sheet back here also gives the bag some structure, and while it’s not the sturdiest one we’ve ever tested, it works for a bag of this size. It’s also removable. There’s a velcro flap inside of the main compartment of the pack that you can open if you ever want/need to take the frame sheet out.

Inside the Pack

The organization inside this bag is simple, uncomplicated. There’s room enough for what you need and no place for things you don’t. It’s split into two—a medium-sized pocket you can access from the front, and then the main compartment.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Front Pocket

Let’s start with the front pocket. This is a vertical pocket, meaning you can swing the pack to the front without taking it off and easily access your stuff. Though there’s no internal organization, so whatever you do throw in here will jumble to the bottom. We’ve preferred to put larger items like a water bottle or medium-size notebook here for this reason, but you can also organize with pouches if you’d like. Inside, you’ll find a clip for your keys. This clip is made of plastic and has 360° motion—even though it’s not metal, it still feels sturdy in the hand. And similar to the sternum strap, there’s a fabric welt that hides the zipper and keeps this bag streamlined.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Front Flap Pockets

Now onto the main compartment. When you open this thing up, you’ll find two pockets on the inside of the pack’s front flap. One is an open pouch that’s size enough for things like your phone or maybe a pair of sunglasses. We’ve also tried packing a Roost Laptop Stand here, but the pocket is not quite deep enough. The other is a zippered pocket ideal for, say, a large pair of headphones. The open sleeve takes up about a quarter of the width while the zippered pocket is about three-quarters. These didn’t work great for the gear we carry—however, if you have some things that fit perfectly in these pockets, then great! We’ve also found that if these pockets are packed along with the front pocket, the front flap of the bag looks a little slouchy when the main compartment is open—not a huge deal but again, something to note.

Though the biggest turn off of these pockets is the structure—or lack thereof, in this case. They feel flimsy and loose, even saggy when we do have gear in them. The pockets don’t seem to be attached tightly to the bag, which might be causing this. But again, if you have the right gear for them and they work for you, awesome.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Mesh Pocket

One thing we are digging inside this main compartment is the zippered mesh pocket against the back. It has a little bit of dimension built-in, some stretch to it (nothing crazy), and it’s not as rough and scratchy as some of the mesh we’ve seen in other bags. Plus it’s great for holding all of our smaller tech accessories, like a mouse, USB cables, adapters, pens, you name it. Unlike the front flap pockets, this mesh pouch feels integrated into the pack—it’s tight and secure.

And at the back of the main compartment is a 15” laptop sleeve. It’s densely padded and has a false bottom, which we always appreciate. Although, it’s a slim one. While you’ll have some extra protection if you drop your bag, it’s not as much as we’ve seen in other packs, so you may want to keep your laptop in a protective case when inside.

Able Carry Daily Backpack Hidden Pocket

Lastly, at the top of the bag you’ll find a quick-access zippered pocket that’s great for storing things like your phone, wallet, or passport—though it does feel a little deep when we’re using it. We do like that it’s against our backs so it’s secure, and much harder for the wrong hands to get into.

As far as durability is concerned, this bag is still looking almost brand new—the materials have held up well in our testing so far.

Usage Timeline

Initial Usage

Condition: Excellent

  • Really solid all-around daypack
  • Well padded harness system and stiff back panel make for a comfortable carry
  • Feels like the right amount of organization for an EDC daypack, not too much or too little
2 Weeks of Use

Condition: Excellent

  • Still digging the comfort of the harness system
  • The internal organization on the front flap seemed hard to use in testing—one is designed for large headphones, and the other, a phone. The pockets feel a little floppy. Works well if you have the right gear
  • The soft nylon webbing on the exterior merges style and function—a fun design with useful carabiner attachment points
  • The hidden quick-grab pocket on the back of the bag feels a little deep while using
  • Hypalon zipper pulls are quick and easy to operate
