Xmas Tree Subway Train Layout 2009

Here is the finalized version of the 2009 xmas tree layout using an MTH Premier R40 Subway set, Lionel Fastrack, MTH Graduated Trestle System, and MTH Realtrax Trestle Set. Here you can see how close the train is to the upper deck when it has to go under. Here is the upper deck view of the spiral. And here is the lower deck vantage point. This was the 1st version, but due to the incline of the spiral it's better to have the train go down on the steep grade.

Canon S90 Case Lowepro D-wrap

Here is the Lowepro D-Wrap gently caressing the Canon S90 point and shoot camera. A nice ever-ready case for a small camera. The Lowepro D-wrap is made of neoprene. It provides nice protection for that large LCD screen. It attaches via the tripod mount. You can view pictures while protecting the camera from the table surface. It's nice and compact. That's a quarter in there for perspective. Here it is ready to shoot. Buy the Lowepro D-Wrap here . Buy the Canon S90 point and shoot camera here .

Why does the Puma Shoe for Mongolian BBQ have to be so UGLY?!

Why did Puma pick such an ugly shoe to be the canvas for the custom sneaker crowd? Here is the base shoe used for mongolianshoebbq.puma.com It's pointy and narrow and looks disgusting. Why not pick other shoes that are more stylish? What about the Sky II Demi's? It has so many things to color that a custom one would definitely be different from each other! I'm sure we can outdesign Puma's hired gun Yasuhiro Mihara if they let us work with the Suede as a starting point. This shoe below is being marketed and it's a mess. What about custom Speed Cats?! What a beautiful simple and purposeful shoe! Making one to you personal taste would just add to how popular this shoe is. Puma please get your act straight with Mongolian BBQ! You are letting the custom sneaker market slip away from your hands.
