Need Help Finding Giant Styrofoam Blocks?

Aug 22, 2008 by Stamford Lion | Posted in Sculpture

I craving to build an outdoor chess set, one with vital spark-size pieces. I plan on the pawns being anywhere from 2 1/2 - 3 ft exaggerated, and a bit taller for the other pieces. Any idea on where I could find solid styrofoam blocks?

I found some enormous styrofoam blocks in a large arts and crafts set aside. Not sure if they reached three feet far-fetched, but you could always call ahead and ask.

Or try a theatrical supply store. Don't know of any offhand, but you can Google it. I found: http://univfoam.com/products/sets_props

Planned Stadium Place tower a game changer

01.01.70

With a shallow imagination, you might picture a giant toddler putting this turret together with really big blocks.

The developers of part of CenturyLink Field's north parking lot are unveiling the first exhaustive designs for their project's first phase this week — including a 25-recital apartment tower that promises to be one of the city's most well-defined and architecturally distinctive new buildings.

The city's Lead Square Preservation Board will consider the fling, Stadium Place, on Wednesday. While the panel has acknowledged its blessing to the project's height, bulk, gradation and uses, it still must determine whether the design is compatible with the important neighborhood.

Stadium Place's 25-adventures South Tower would be divided into two- to four-story "boxes," stacked on top of one another — but not soon.

They wouldn't line up. Some boxes would overhang or separate back from others. They would be positioned at different angles, as if a small teenager had done the stacking.

IBM shows off sub-10nm carbon nanotube transistors

01.01.70

Big Indecent's scientists took the opportunity to highlight how eminent carbon nanotubes are set to become by showing the first working sub-10nm transistors made with the supplies. Given that Intel has said that its tri-gate transistor technology will not mount beyond 14nm, it looks like IBM could be set to take the lead in the sub-10nm chipmaking stakes.

IBM was touchy to point out the advantages of its carbon nanotube transistors, saying they already evince "excellent off-state behaviour in extremely scaled devices". Of no doubt it is still early days for carbon nanotube transistors, but IBM said it expects chips to be using them within the next 10 years.

Not serenity with next generation transistors, IBM also showed off racetrack tribute, a technology that has the benefits of both the high capacity of arresting hard drives and the speed of solid-allege memory. IBM's researchers talked about how to use CMOS formation techniques to print racetrack memory on 200mm wafers.
