Instructables contest
This is my entry for the Instructables and Jack Daniels Independence Project contest, showcasing my prototype Triple Word Tower. If I win the contest, I'd use the prize money to purchase a cnc router - From the research I've done, I think I'd need a 5-axis model to be able to get the proper angles; the words are carved out of a hexagonal cross section, overlapping and rotated 60 degrees from each other, and viewed point-on. The words can be any length, though aesthetically speaking I think they work best when each word has the same number of letters, as shown here. The trickiest part is selecting the font... for my prototype, I drew each letter individually and made them as thick and blocky as possible for maximum support, but I believe that other lettering styles and even pictures (like stencils used for jack 'o lanterns) could be done this way. I'd also like to explore some color possibilities; tinting the faces so that each word has it's own color scheme; I have a theory that when rotated, the facets would make it look like a jumble of stained glass until viewed from the proper angle. So many things I want to try! Please help my submission win!
Time Team S04-E06 Netheravon,.Wiltshire
For their final high-speed archaeological adventure of the series. Time Team find themselves inside a partially abandoned army barracks in Nethcravon in Wiltshire. It's not military memorabilia they're after but something much older and more interesting.
In 1907, a Colonel Hawley discovered part of a tessellated pavement - or mosaic - in the grounds which he believed was part of a Roman villa, built around AD 300.
Now for the first time the army have allowed archaeologists inside the barbed wire to check out the colonel's theory. They have only a few short months before the troops return and the site is once again off-limits to civilians. Tony Robinson, Mick Aston and the Time Team however, have just three short days!

St Mary's Church is an Anglican parish church in the village of Newbold Astbury, Cheshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and its architecture has been praised by a number of writers.
The oldest part of St Mary's dates to the middle of the 12th century, in the form of a simple round-headed doorway leading to the north aisle.
The 12th-century building was probably built mostly of timber, but in the mid-13th century the chancel was rebuilt in stone. Most of this 13th-century work has survived intact, including a plain priests door. In the north wall is a small trefoil-headed window, of the kind usually - and wrongly - called a leper window.
Most of the rest of the church is a jumble of 14th-16th century work. The result is a layout almost unique in English parish church architecture; a trapezoid plan, wider at the west than the east, with the design 'pinched' along the centre line of the nave and chancel. In fact, the nave is 40 feet wide at the west end, wider even than Chester Cathedral. The aisles are normal rectangles, so the nave arcades are angled.
.
There are no less than 6 old chests inside the church, one of which is bound with iron straps and dates to the 13th century. There are several excellent historical monuments, including the effigy of a 14th-century knight in the Lady Chapel, near a 1654 tomb chest.
The tower is in three stages and is supported by buttresses. In the lowest stage, on the west side, is a doorway in Romanesque style, on the north side is an ogee-headed lancet window. On the left of the east side is a Perpendicular-style porch. The middle stage has a two-light window on the west side, above which is a circular clock face, and on the north and east sides are lancet windows. The top stage contains a two-light louvred bell opening on each side. The parapet is plain, and projecting from it on the west side is a gargoyle. The spire is octagonal, with two tiers of lucarnes (dormer windows).The north side of the church is divided by buttresses into four bays. The second bay from the east contains a priest's door, above which is a lancet window. To the right of the door is a small trefoil-headed window. The other bays contain two-light windows with Early English tracery.
Perhaps more fascinating than the interior is what stands outside in all weather. The most interesting historic feature is the wonderfully ornate canopied tomb. Opinion seems to vary on how old the tomb is and who it commemorates. It may be late 13th century and be a memorial to a member of the Venables family, or it may be 14th century and commemorate Sir Ralph Brereton.
The tomb chest has effigies of a man and woman holding hands. There is another ancient effigy to the north of the canopied tomb, showing a cleric, and to the south is a third medieval effigy of a knight in armour.
In the north-east corner of the churchyard is an extraordinary yew tree thought to be 2000 years old. It is hollow now - not surprising - and propped to prevent it from falling, but still a living tree.
And finally, the stone gateway to the churchyard is 17th century, with a battlemented parapet and finely carved pinnacles.
