In December 1998, Cunard released details of Project Queen Mary, the project to develop a liner that would complement Queen Elizabeth 2.
Her keel was laid down on 4 July 2002, in the construction dock at Saint-Nazaire, France, with the hull number G32. Approximately 3,000 craftsmen spent around eight million working hours on the ship, and around 20,000 people were directly or indirectly involved in her design, construction, and fitting out. In total, 300,000 pieces of steel were assembled into 94 "blocks" off the drydock, which were then stacked and welded together to complete the hull and superstructure. After floating out on 21 March 2003, the QM2 was fitted out in the large fitting out basin ("Bassin C"), the first ship to use this huge dry dock since the shipyard built large tankers in the 1970s, such as the MV Gastor. Her sea trials were conducted between 25–29 September and 7–11 November 2003, between Saint-Nazaire and the offshore islands of Ile d'Yeu and Belle-Ile.
Construction was completed on schedule. Cunard took delivery in Southampton, England on 26 December 2003. On 8 January 2004, the liner was named by her namesake's granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Mary 2's facilities include fifteen restaurants and bars, five swimming pools, a casino, a ballroom, a theatre, and the first planetarium at sea. There are also kennels and a nursery on board.
On 19 October 2011, Queen Mary 2 had her registry changed to Hamilton, Bermuda, from her home port of Southampton, England to allow the ship to host on-board weddings. This marked the first time in its 171-year history that Cunard has not had a ship registered within the UK.

The Alternator is a SMG that fires a 20-round magazine, alternating between its side by side twin barrels.
My favorite weapon designs added to Titanfall 2 are the double- and triple-barreled weapons like the Double-Take, Mozambique, and Alternator, for their uniqueness in design and gameplay. Built from Brian Burrell's 3D models of the gun for Titanfall 2 - www.artstation.com/artwork/e3zQ3
Working features: moving trigger, removable magazine, sliding ambidextrous charging handle
As the smoke clears in the lab and the alarms are still ringing, only 2 people can be seen in the lab. Madison stands up and she looks around.
MP: "Jeez, it's hot in here. Is eveeyone okay?! Jax?! Doctor Hewitt?! Jax, where are you?!"
Jax: "Awh man, my head hurts like hell. And no need for yelling I'm right here- Wait."
MP: "Where are you? I can't see you."
Jax: "I- I think I know where I am."
MP: "Where? I hear you, but I can't see you."
Jax: "That's because I'm inside of you."
MP: "Haha, very funny Jax. We have no time for sex jokes. Where are you?"
Jax: "No Maddie, I'm serious. I'm inside your head. I- I think we merged like... like Firestorm."
MP: "Wait- wait what?"
Maddie rushes to a piece of glass to look at her reflection. She screams in horror as her skin turned a bright yellow, and her head is on fire.
MP: "What has happened to me?!"
Jax: "Baby calm down! I'm here. Okay, I'm here. Just breathe."
As Maddie breathes, she starts to errupt fire from her hands.
MP: "Not okay! NOT OKAY!"
Jax: "Breathe in through your nose, and out through your mouth. Breathe slowly, Maddie."
Maddie starts to breathe slower and the fires goes out.
MP: "We need to find doctor Hewitt."
As she says that, a piece of ruble starts to move. Doctor Hewitt coughs and he looks at Maddie.
HH: "What the hell?! You- you two merged?!"
As Hewitt gets angrier he starts glowing, and his eyes start to glow too.
HH: "You became a Firestorm?! YOU?! I was the one who was supposed to merge with the matrix whenever the research was conducted!!"
MP: "Wait. Is that why you wanted the research on the matrix? So you could keep it for yourself?"
HH: "Seperate immediately, so I can take the matrix!"
Jax: "Maddie, I think it's time to get out of here."
MP: "I don't know how."
Jax: "Breathe. Burn, and fly."
MP: "Fly?!"
Jax: "C'mon babe, I know you can do it. Ignite your hands, and full power!"
Madison focusses and she ignites her hands and she begins to hover. As she hovers, Hewitt starts to get angrier and he starts to glow more.
HH: "Get back down! The Firestorm matrix is MINE!!"
As he says that he errupts an energy wave from his hands and nearly hits Madison and Jax. As he did that he looks at his hands in confusion.
Jax: "He's distracted! We need to go, now!"
MP: "Okay, okay."
Maddie gives herself a boost, and she flies off into the nightsky.
MP: "Wow... I'm flying."
Jax: "You are indeed."
MP: "We need to get this fixed, Jax..."
Jax: "I know. There's only one way we can do that."
MP: "How?"
Jax: "We need to find Firestorm."
Dragonfly 2.0
Designed and folded by me ( Bodo Haag )
folded from one uncut square.
Bananafiber paper ( 52x52 cm )
this model is the revised version of my old dragonfly. Now, the design is more effective, has a better head , shorter neck, legs with different lengths and it has a segmented abdomen. The design is still based on 22.5 degree angles, similar to the older version.
The wings and eyes have a color change, but I folded the model from a single colored paper.

Here is a link to a composite that GrfxDziner did. It uses the same model, but she is opaque...and has a different background:
Profile | GrfxDziner
The deep and dark depths of the batcave
Alfred: Bruce! Incoming alert on the computer. It appears there has been a raid on black gate prison.
Bruce: any names?
Alfred: unfortunately, that’s all we know sir.
Bruce: I’ll go straight there now
Alfred: In the newly constructed bat-mobile, I presume?
Bruce: bat-mobile? I like that very much. Lucius finished quicker than expected then?
Alfred: that he did sir. And I know you’ll be impressed. I did, admittedly make some slight changes. Though all for the sake of preserving your “image”. Particularly the colour. Didn’t think silver to be very “you” sir.

Just an hour before At the foot of black gate bridge
Amongst stacks of petrol cans and loose sheets of old and tattered documents, some stretching back to the 70s, Lenny fiasco complains his arse off. To some people that’s a surprise. But some people have clearly never met the man.
Lenny: how the hell you convinced me of this damned suicide mission, I’ll never know
Gar: easy. Made your hundred into 150. You hopped right back on board in minutes. Even nicked us this swanky set of wheels. Also known as a transit van
Lenny: haha. That I did. You know sometimes I think my talents go to waste. Unnoticed at the very least and that to me is a real damn shame
Gar: (under his breath) to you and no one else I might add
Lenny:huh?
Gar: nothing len
Lenny: lost my train of thought. Tends to happen when you’ve pissed of a psycho jester lover boy and he’s after your head. Also doesn’t help we about to go into like the 3rd most secure prison in Gotham which for a man like me shouldn’t be a choice!
Drury driving the van pulls to a halt, leaning half way out of the window then proceeding to shout back into the van for all inside and outside to hear his loud and booming voice
Drury: Silence! We have arrived at the castle gates
By castle gates, Drury Walker did of course mean the security checkpoint because only a genius like himself would think to break into prison by dressing as a group of guards. Guards without up to date uniform, entry passes or any form of resemblance to those which they had replaced. Not that they had replaced anyone as there were now simply just three more unrecognisable guards
The guard at the security checkpoint: so you have registration?
Drury: uhh...
The guard: ID? Entrance passes?...you do work here?
With a sense of clear and unexpected panic, shown blatantly on his pale and shaken face, Drury leans back into the van
Drury: gar...len...you didn’t by any chance equip yourselves with entrance passes of any sort...did you?
Gar: well aren’t you a goddamn idiot
Without another word on the matter, gar, quickly pulling a ski mask over his face, kicks wide open, the back doors of the van, jumping out instantly, taking some form of homemade flame thrower in his palms
Gar: hey you guard! Open the f*cking gates!
He lifts the flamethrower up to the guards eye level, melting away the mans very face, leaving only his fearful expression, before the man could even begin to lift his gun from beneath the counter. And that, no doubt was exactly what the guard had in mind.
Gar, shattering the glass screen, leaps into the security office, thrusting the gate switch, without hesitation
He would have course already been dead, had len not put a few rounds in 5 or 6 backup guards
Gar: Drury! Gates open. Just f*cking drive!!!
Gar makes himself more clear than perhaps he needs to but its clearly effective as that’s exactly what Drury does.
As the van speeds through the gates, gar, with lens help is quickly and smoothly hurled into the back of the van which after bouncing past several armed guards who fail to hit any of the three invaders, crashes through several barriers and is forced to stop only a few meters from their destination
Gar:Drury let me take the wheel. And take Lenny out with you
Drury: were practically here man! There is no need to go much further
Gar: but those gaurds aren’t gonna stop shooting any time soon and we wanna get inside don’t we
Lenny: But what are y...
Gar: just do it. I know what I’m doing
Both Drury and len step out of the van, hiding behind a stone barrier and talking up to gar, attempting to grasp what the man is trying to say
Drury: what are you doing exactly?
Gar: what needs to be done. Always said I didn’t want to live forever didn’t I?Haha. Never thought it’d be the day after did you...heheh...
Drury: no...you don’t mean...did I not convince y...
Without being spared the chance to finish his sentence, Drury is forced to duck behind the barrier as gar, thrusting his foot down on the loose and rusty pedal, hurls the van, himself, half a dozen or so petrol cans and an elegantly lit flame into the side of black gate, erupting in an almost beautiful display of horrendous inferno and knocking any man as far as two hundred meters away to the stone cold ground of the completely concrete prison parking lot
Drury:....GARR!!...gar!...ga....
Len: f*ck me. That was....insane
Drury:... I don’t.
Drury sits down beside the flaming wreck and does no more than just stare towards his lost friends ashes. But then he comes to understand. That maybe it was better this way. Gar was a man who lived his life in pain so surely death is not such an awful concept. And most certainly not if through death comes hope. Hope for Drury and Lenny
Drury: come! Do not let his sacrifice be for nothing. Many prisoners wait eagerly to be liberated
The two walk up the stairway, guns In hands, to the grand and now completely unhinged oak doors of black gate. They had made it. Made it to black gate. And only one of them, had been lost. Whether it were a little price to pay. Drury was not sure and somehow knew he never would be. And that above all, he was sure of.
THE END
(Admittedly not my favourite arc. We’ll see where it goes)

A surprising number of plants are still flowering. Here's one from Schoepfle Garden, taken yesterday afternoon. I will post two more late buds tomorrow to finish the series. LARGE
I've been trying to eat a lot of in-season fruits and vegetables this year, which has been fun cause I've tried some things I might not have (brussel sprouts! parsnips!) Mangoes are in for March, so I made a mango raspberry crisp for breakfast this morning. Delicious!
Check out some other things that are making me happy.
The esteemed fleet of step entry deckers at Scunthorpe-based independent 2 Way Transport has been culled in recent months as the result of a number of Spectras arriving from Wilts & Dorset. One of the handful which remain out and about is Citybus F109XCW which was caught on the quite splendid afternoon which unravelled today as it left Epworth with route 201 from South Axholme Academy to Owston Ferry. New to Burnley & Pendle in March 1989 and later operating for Roadcar, this was one of two members of this batch on South Axholme work this afternoon.
