The Secret Teachings of All Ages - Illustrated In his own words, this is Dan Brown's favorite source book. NUMEROUS volumes have been written as commentaries upon the secret systems of philosophy existing in the ancient world, but the ageless truths of life, like many of the earth's greatest thinkers, have usually been clothed in shabby garments. The present work is an attempt to supply a tome worthy of those seers and sages whose thoughts are the substance of its pages. --From the Preface of the book For more titles like this, go to http://oaklightpublishing.com or type "oaklight" or "dreamz-work" into the search field.

GEEK TOYS FOR KIDS. GEEK TOYS
Geek Toys For Kids
Nov 9, 2010 [Day 009] “Star Trek” Star Trek Okay call me a geek or a nerd or better yet someone who is intelligent enough to know good television when he sees it? Okay that might be a stretch, but there are a lot of Star Trek fans out there in the world and perhaps beyond our world =D I fell in love with Star Trek from the moment I saw it in reruns as a kid. It was on at 4:00 every day after school and I watched with eyes wide and my head in the clouds I was eight and the future seemed to be limitless. When I got older I realized of course that would be many many generations ahead of where the human race is in modern times. Although that was a realization it still evokes a future vision that I myself would want to be a part of, well perhaps not the original series but the enterprise of my generation. I have probably seen every original series episode at least 50 times each, okay that’s embarrassing. When the Next Generation premiered in 1987 I couldn’t wait and I wasn’t disappointed, though looking back at those first 3 seasons of the Next Generation it’s not so great… But it was enough to make the love I had for Star Trek to become alive in me again. I watched every Saturday night in awe of the new adventures. I was able to go to a couple of conventions (nerd time) in the Portland area and that was a blast and ended up through the years meeting the whole main cast of the Next Generation and most of the original cast along with some of the other Star Trek series. I remember mourning the loss when Next Generation had its final season and although Star Trek Deep Space Nine was already airing, it didn’t have the same feel as the Next Generation did. It did have some characters I grew to enjoy though including Dax, Garak, Quark, and later the return of Worf. Then came Voyager and I was immediately and totally a fan of that show aside from a couple of characters whom I loathed. The storyline although cliche had some wonderful writing and acting over the seasons. The introduction of 7 of 9 in the 4th season, the converted Borg drone was brilliant and I really enjoyed watching her character become human again. Star Trek Enterprise was a huge disappointment and though it did have a couple of good seasons it didn’t hold my interest and I thought the casting was way off. In 2009, the long rumored and speculated reboot of the original series was unleashed and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. The new cast (of the original series characters) did a wonderful job of capturing the spirit of the original cast without taking it to a level where it could be laughable (though there were those moments on purpose I am sure). The bonus was Chris Pine as James T. Kirk… a lot better eye candy than Shatner; though Shatner to me when I watched the original series was an old man, funny enough now I am the old man since he was 35 years old when the original series began to air in 1966. Star Trek for me has always been an escape, an hour escape or two hour movie escape from life. It has always painted the future of doing the right thing, acceptance and making life better and easier for all. Live Long And Prosper! PS Yes again trying not to embarrass myself too much, I did paint that background (24x36 canvas panel / Acrylic Paint and wood stars) New toys Saturday night was guy/geek night for me. The wife and kid were out for the evening. I started by buying a few new toys, a Logitech MX Revolution mouse and a Maxtor 160GB HD on sale for $55. I then went home, cracked a few beers, burned and ate some animal meat, and installed hardware. Topped the evening off with Matrix Revolutions, to keep the whole revolution theme going. :) To quote Borat, "I like."

GI JOE TOYS 1980S : TOYS 1980S
Gi Joe Toys 1980s
Cobra Officer, 1982 Technically it's 82-83 but I see little reason to refer to him as an '83 figure simply because of a joint variation. Then I list Duke amongst the '84 Joes when he was really the mail-away for '83. I'm funny like that. That said this has long since been one of my favorite Cobra designs. I much prefer the webgear to mere suspenders of the Cobra Trooper and there's something about the small touches of grey on the shoulders and the mag puch and compass that really make the figure pop. Then there's that silver sigil that shouts "I'm an Officer!, dammit" I think my only nit with this figure, and it's a very minor one, is that they didn't paint the chevron on the helmet. Regardless the last of my prized Cobras is finally mine! :D Thanks again, Ian! A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing... The Search For Zarana pt. 13 When we last left Zartan he was scaling the side of the USS Flagg in the middle of the Atlantic. Once inside he's wasted no time in disguising himself as the highest possible profile. Shipwreck isn't surprised to see Keel Haul walking through a maintence cooridor as he's generally one to roam around his vessel when he's not on the Bridge. What is odd to the sailor is that Keel Haul isn't drenched in his usual cologne... "Keep up the good work!" Zartan directs... Now to find the Joes' database.

Snake In The Water Day: 093/365 Copperhead kills the engine as he and his commissioned Cobra Trooper sit drifting in the water awaiting their prey to come crossing by. The Trooper's hands remain fixed on his center turret controls while Copper mans the side cannons. Another day in the legion of Cobra, and another seaborne Joe patrol destined to be dead in the water. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is based off a shot I did about a year ago with v1 Copper and a Cobra Troop. I thought it'd be cool to sort of revisit it with the newsculpt versions. I forgot how backheavy this thing is in the water next time I'll have to weight the front. I like this one better than the one I posted at JDs. Oh and I found another location...kinda. Iron Grenadier 2011 03 The Iron Grenadiers are led by Destro. Following the storyline in the comic book series at the time, the file cards indicate that Destro had, at some point, left Cobra and formed his own army. He begins having dreams of world domination, as did Cobra Commander.

[12/365] Toys on a Wardrobe I've recently been clearing out my bedroom (which has had boxes, etc, littering it for the past 6 months at least) and so thought I'd take the chance to take a photo of the collection of toys that sit on top of my second wardrobe. The wardrobe is my "technology cupboard" where I keep all my cables and old hardware which I don't use anymore, but on top I stick my old cuddly toys and the boxes of a few newer toys (mmmm Airport Express). Some of my favourites up there include Sonic the Hedgehog, Bubbles (from the Powerpuff Girls), The Queen of Hearts (from Alice in Wonderland - if you press her she says "Off with your head!"), a camel I was given from my parents when they went to Egypt (it sings some God-awful Egyptian thing when pressed), and Timothy Rabbit, a tiny little thing that I was given the day I was born!

The Toy Mansion Built in the 1880s by James F. Toy in Sioux City Iowa. The life record of James F. Toy and the history of banking in Iowa have been pretty much one and the same thing, for he ranks among the pioneer bankers of the state and through a period of practically a half century his name has stood in the forefront among the successful and influential financiers of this section of the country. The distinction which he has attained in his particular line of business entitles him to specific recognition among the representative men of his day and generation in the state with which his entire active life has been identified. Mr. Toy was born in Wilmington, Delaware, on the 5th of January, 1850, and is a son of Neal and Rebecca (Rusk) Toy, the latter of whom was a native of Pennsylvania and of old Quaker stock. The father was a native of Londonderry, Ireland, from which country he was brought to the United States at the age of twelve years. On attaining mature years he engaged in the quarry business in Delaware, where he remained until 1867, when he came west, settling near Waterloo, Iowa, where he engaged in farming for about six years. In 1873 the family moved to Storm Lake, Iowa, where the parents resided until their deaths. James F. Toy attended the public schools of Wilmington, Delaware, and completed his education at St. Mary's College., His first employment was as a clerk for Anderson & Cutts, at Waterloo, with whom he remained three years, after which he went to work for a and retail implement house, remaining on the inside two years and then going out as a traveling salesman, his territory covering the Illinois Central Railroad from Dubuque to Sioux City. In 1873 he went to Storm Lake, Iowa, where he engaged in the lumber, coal and agricultural implement business under the firm name of Green & Toy. A year later Mr. Toy purchased his partner's interest and carried the business on under his own name for three years. In 1877 began his identification with the banking interests of this state, when he became associated with Messrs. Dean and Harker in the organization of the Storm Lake State Bank, of which he was made cashier. In 1878 he severed his connection with that bank and bought the private bank of Sutfin & Hay at Storm Lake, which title was soon changed to the Banking House of James F. Toy. Under his able management this became a very successful institution. While here he published a newspaper for the purpose of advertising his bank, called the "Toy Advertizer," and which gave indication of his progressive and original bent of mind. In 1881 Mr. Toy started another bank at Alta, Iowa, followed later by others at Sioux Rapids and Fonda, these being but the first of a large system of banks, about nineteen in all, which he controls in this state. He installed a private telephone system between his Storm Lake and Alta banks before any telephone exchanges had been established in this part of the country. This line was at that time a novelty and served well as an advertisement, people coming miles to see the wonderful instrument. In 1883 he organized the Farmers Loan & Trust Company, with a capital of three hundred thousand dollars, which was transferred to Sioux City, Iowa, in 1889. It maintained quarters in the Toy building at Fourth and Jackson streets, the largest brown stone office building in Sioux City at that time, which was burned in the big fire there. In 1908-09 he built the present office and bank structure at Fourth and Nebraska streets, which now houses the Toy National Bank and the Farmers Loan & Trust Company, two of the strongest and most influential financial institutions of this city. Mr. Toy is president of the Toy National Bank, the Farmers Loan & Trust Company, the Iowa joint Stock Land Bank and the Toy National Incorporation, as well as of his many other banks. On June 16, 1875, at Waterloo, Iowa, Mr. Toy was united in marriage to Miss Mary Brubacher, daughter of Washington Brubacher, a member of the firm for which he worked for three years, the family being numbered among the pioneers of Waterloo. Mr. and Mrs. Toy celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in 1925. To their union were born three children, namely: Grace H., who is the wife of J. W. Van Dyke, of Sioux City; James Fred, Jr., who now lives in Hollywood, California; and Carlton B., who is vice president of the Toy National Bank. Politically Mr. Toy has always maintained an independent attitude, voting according to the dictates of his judgment as to men and measures. He is a member of Tyrian Lodge, No. 508, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons; Sioux City Consistory, No. 5, Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite; and Abu-Bekr Temple of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. He was president of the Sioux City Commercial Club for several years. He is now a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the Sioux City Boat Club and the Sioux City Country Club, and also belongs to the Greater City organization and to t Novelty architecture Randy's Donut's, Inglewood, CA -Novelty architecture is a type of architecture in which buildings and other structures are given unusual shapes as a novelty, such as advertising, notoriety as a landmark, or simple eccentricity of the owner or architect. Many examples of novelty architecture take the form of buildings that resemble the products sold inside to attract drive-by customers.
