Following the first Arrow prototype roll-out in October 1958, four more J75-powered Mk. 1 aircraft were delivered in the next 18 months. During the design phase of the aircraft, Avro and the RCAF examined a wide range of alternative sizes and configurations for a supersonic interceptor, culminating in RCAF Specification AIR 7-3 in April 1953. AIR 7-3 called specifically for a two-crew, twin-engine aircraft with a range of 300 nautical miles (556 km) for a normal low-speed mission and 200 nmi (370 km) for a high-speed interception mission. It also specified operation from a 6,000-foot (1,830 m) runway, a Mach 1.5 cruising speed at an altitude of 70,000 feet (21,000 m), and maneuverability for 2g turns with no loss of speed or altitude at Mach 1.5 and 50,000 feet. The specification also required five minutes from starting the aircraft’s engines to reaching 50,000 ft altitude and Mach 1.5. It was also to have a turn-around time on the ground for less than 10 minutes. An RCAF team led by Ray Footit visited US aircraft producers and surveyed British and French manufacturers before concluding that no existing or planned aircraft could fulfill these requirements.
In this image, the second Arrow prototype RL-202 (serial number 25202) sits beside RL-201 on a chilly Canadian day. The model has several functioning features such as retractable landing gear, an opening clam-shell canopy like the original aircraft, moveable elevons (flaps and ailerons), and a configurable weapons bay. My original Arrow model was much more rudimentary and did not have as many functional elements. However, with many of the newer and updated pieces in Bricklink’s Studio 2.0, I was able to modify the original design substantially, making this Arrow a new model altogether.

The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) is a camelid native to South America, closely related to the llama. Guanacos are one of two wild South American camelids, the other being the vicuña, which lives at higher elevations.
The guanaco gets its name from the Quechua word huanaco (modern spelling wanaku). Young guanacos are called chulengos.
Guanacos stand between 1.0 and 1.3 m (3 ft 3 in and 4 ft 3 in) at the shoulder, body length of 2.1 to 2.2 m (6 ft 11 in to 7 ft 3 in), and weigh 90 to 140 kg (200 to 310 lb). Their color varies very little (unlike the domestic llama), ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small, straight ears.
Guanacos are one of the largest terrestrial mammals native to today's South America. Other terrestrial mammalian megafauna to weigh similar to or exceed the guanaco include the tapirs, the marsh deer, the white-tailed deer, the spectacled bear, and the jaguar.
Guanacos have thick skin on their neck, a trait also found in their domestic counterparts, the llama and in their relatives, the wild vicuña and domesticated alpaca. This protects their neck from predator attacks. Bolivians use the neck-skin of these animals to make shoes, flattening and pounding the skin to be used for the soles. In Chile, hunting is allowed only in Tierra del Fuego, where the only population not classified as endangered in the country resides. Between 2007 and 2012, 13,200 guanacos were legally hunted in Tierra del Fuego.

Agenda 2 of Day 3 in Ireland.
After checking out the National Museum of Ireland Decorative Arts & History, I crossed the Liffery south to Dublinia and Christ Church Cathedral.
I've no interest in Dublinia, but I wanted to climb the 60-m (200-feet) St. Michael's Tower for a fine view over Dublin, and one must pay the admission to Dublinia to access the tower.
Dublinia, seen to the right of the photo here, by the way, is housed in the former Synod Hall. Until 1983, it was home to the ruling body of the (Protestant) Church of Ireand.
The SkyCam is showing us some footage of the incident known as the "3 in 1." Not shown in the picture is a Police pullover for a suspect of drunk driving. Shown in the picture is the automatic fire alarm at Eddie's. As well as an ambulance for a women who fainted at the thought of having her 2002 Camry burned to smithereens. It might take A LOT of therapy to clear that one up.
My local McDonald’s. It’s terrible. The food is always cold the staff are useless and rarely bother but today I had this need for a apple pie. Which was cold. Never again
When I was a kid, I regularly used to cycle to my grandad's house in the summer to mow the grass in his small garden. Part of the job involved lubricating his old-fashioned push mower with '3-in-one' oil before setting to work on the grass. I have no idea whether this stuff is still available; I suspect not.

The Airco DH.2 was a single-seat biplane "pusher" aircraft which operated as a fighter during the First World War. Early air combat over the Western Front indicated the need for a single-seat fighter with forward-firing armament. As no means of firing forward through the propeller of a tractor aeroplane was available to the British, Geoffrey de Havilland designed the DH.2 as a smaller, single-seat development of the earlier two-seat DH.1 pusher design. The DH.2 first flew in July 1915.
The majority of DH.2s were fitted with the 100 hp (75 kW) Gnôme Monosoupape rotary engine, but later models received the 110 hp (82 kW) Le Rhône 9J. The rear-mounted rotary engine made the DH.2 easy to stall, but also made it highly maneuverable, since the aircraft’s center of gravity was located in a highly beneficial position.
The fighter was armed with a single .303 in (7.7 mm) Lewis gun, which was originally able to be positioned on one of three flexible mountings in the cockpit and with the pilot transferring the gun between mountings in flight at the same time as flying the aircraft. Once pilots learned that the best method of achieving a kill was rather to aim the whole aircraft than the gun, the machine gun was fixed in the forward-facing center mount, although this was initially banned by higher authorities until a clip which fixed the gun in place, but could be released if required, was approved.
After evaluation at Hendon on 22 June 1915, the first DH.2 arrived in France for operational trials, but it was shot down and its pilot killed. No. 24 Squadron RFC, the first squadron equipped with the DH.2 and the first complete squadron entirely equipped with single-seat fighters in the RFC, arrived in France in February 1916. At the height of the type's deployment, the DH.2 equipped seven fighter squadrons on the Western Front and quickly proved more than a match for the Fokker Eindecker. DH.2s were also heavily engaged during the Battle of the Somme, No. 24 Squadron alone engaging in 774 combats and destroying 44 enemy machines.
The DH.2 had sensitive controls and at a time when service training for pilots in the RFC was very poor it initially had a high accident rate, gaining the nickname "The Spinning Incinerator", but as familiarity with the type increased it was recognized as very maneuverable and relatively easy to fly.
The arrival of more powerful German tractor biplane fighters at the front such as the Halberstadt D.II and the Albatros D.I, which appeared in September 1916, meant that the DH.2 was outclassed in turn. It remained in first line service in France, however, until No. 24 and No. 32 Squadron RFC completed re-equipment with Airco DH.5s in June 1917, and a few remained in service as fighters on the Macedonian front and in Palestine until late autumn of that year. By this time the type was totally obsolete as a fighter, and new uses were found.
One role was as an advanced trainer into 1918, the other was armed reconnaissance at low altitudes, where the types high agility and the excellent forward field of view could be exploited. For the latter role, the Royal Air Force (founded in April 1918) converted roundabout thirty DH.2's into TR.2s. The machines received external armor plating for the pilot and an uprated Le Rhône 9Jb rotary engine with 130 hp (96 kW), driving a new four blade propeller, in order to compensate for the raised overall weight. However, the extra weight, nevertheless, hampered top speed and rate of climb, but the type’s original high agility was retained.
Originally, an armament of three machine guns was planned, with two additional, belt-fed fixed Vickers guns for strafing attacks. The two additional guns were placed behind the pilot and fired forwards and downwards through the cockpit floor. While the concept proved to be successful, the plan was quickly dropped since the weapons' extra weight (on top of the armor plating) and vibrations made the aircraft sluggish, nose-heavy and unstable – both in the air and on the ground. Consequentially, the idea was quickly dropped and only the original gun mount in the aircraft's nose was kept. As a compromise, the nose section was modified so that the Lewis gun could now be tilted downwards by up to 60° and fixed for strafing attacks. The drum magazines for the Lewis machine gun were retained, though, so that the weapon had to be raised back into horizontal position every time the pilot wanted to change the magazine (while flying the aircraft over enemy lines, of course).
The first TR.2-equipped unit, RAF 157 Squadron, was sent out to France with 24 aircraft in June 1918, but the machines only flew a limited number of missions until the end of hostilities. At this time, however, the DH.2s had already been progressively retired, and at war's end no surviving airframes of the total of 453 DH.2s and TR.2s produced by Airco were retained.

The kit and its assembly:
Well, this one is another Group Build submission, this time the RAF Centenary GB at whatifmodelers.com. I used this occasion to tackle a build that I had on my list for a long time, and it also offered the opportunity to apply an exotic, yet reality-inspired, paint scheme.
The kit is the vintage 1965(!) Revell kit, in its 2007 re-incarnation. Not a lot of aircraft, and building the whole thing basically from struts that hold everything together is not an easy task - you need patience.
The kits was left mostly OOB (well there’s not much mass to change…), I just modified the nose section, so that the idea of a downward-tiltable machine gun became visually plausible, and I added some 0.5mm styrene sheet to the flanks and to the floor, simulation retrofitted armor plates.
Another modification concerns the propeller; following common practice at the aircraft’s era, this is just a second two blade propeller (IIRC from a Sopwith Triplane) stuck onto the original one, so that a staggered four blade propeller was created. Makes the aircraft look a little beefier.
The real horror started with the rigging process, though, and in order to avoid damage I painted the model before the delicate work started. Rigging was done, as usual, with dark grey sprue material – and the DH.2 needs lots of it!
Painting and markings:
The paint scheme was inspired by the trial schemes that were actually applied to some Sopwith Salamander attack aircraft in July 1918, even though, AFAIK, none of these was used in front line use. However, the scheme’s concept (Orfordness Report E30/A) of “depicting” trenches and the rough frontline “landscape” on an aircraft and other details like asymmetric roundels in order to confuse enemies and impede aiming is pretty unique, and this build was a great occasion to apply it.
I was able to dig up some information concerning the camouflage trials and the colors that were used:
the upper tones were mixed individually from a few basic colors, and I did follow a similar approach in order to achieve a unique and pretty retro look. The colors are/were:
“Light Earth” (White, Indian Red and Raw Sienna); I went for Humbrol 62 (Sand), which is a bright, almost orange tone. I did some mixing experiments and the color turned either into a pink of skin tone, or into a yellow-ish tan, depending on the mix ratios. After that, Humbrol 62 appeared to be a convenient OOB option, since I found mixing for the lightest camouflage tone hazardous.
“Green” (Ultramarine Blue, Chrome Yellow and Raw Sienna); I used a 1:1 mix of Humbrol 80 (Grass Green) and 170 (Brown Bess), with a little 15 (Midnight Blue) added.
“Dark Purple Earth” (from Indian Red, Ultramarine Blue and White); I settled on a 1:1 mix of Humbrol 68 (Purple) and 98. Sick result!
The undersides, landing gear and struts were painted in “Light Green Grey” (Mixed from White, Chrome, Brunswick Green and Indian Red); I’d assume that the tone would be very similar to Sky, but I used Tamiya XF-71 (Flat Grey Green, a.k.a. IJN Grey), which is a bit darker and more greenish.
According to the Orfordness Report E30/A, the lower wings’ upper surface carried, by tendency, patterns with considerably more Light Earth - probably an early attempt of counter-shading? All the upper colors were furthermore separated through black lines, 2-4” wide, which were done with acrylic Revell 09 (Anthracite) and a thin brush.
On some aircraft the wings’ undersides were painted differently – some had upper and lower wings’ undersides painted black, while some only had the lower wings painted in this fashion. Because of the odd look I went for the “lower-wings-in black-only” option, painted with Revell 06 (Tar Black), which is actually a very dark grey.
This all results in a REALLY distinct and colorful look - it’s almost sad that the DH.2 offers so little surface to apply the scheme, which is a faithful adaptation of the Orfordness Report E30/A recommendations.
In order to make the exhaustive rigging process easier, all major surfaces were painted and weathered, and decals (gathered from various sources, none is OOB) were applied, so that only some minor repairs had to be made.
Due to the delicate rigging and the complex paint scheme, this tiny model was a nerve-wrecking affair. But I think that the result was worth the effort – the paint scheme and the markings look so odd that it is hard to believe that the livery is actually based on a real camouflage proposal! And from the beauty pics I’d assume that the paint scheme – at least from above, would have been quite effective. But I won’t tackle another DH.2 soon…
About 18 months ago I bought the Olloclip 3-in-1 lens, and sometimes I actually remember to use it. It clips on the corner of your iPhone, offering macro, wide angle and fisheye lenses. I also bought the 2X Telephoto with polarizing filter, and a case which has the corner flip up so you can slip the lens on. It all fits in one pocket with the phone (at least the iPhone 5S, I haven't tried that with the 6+ yet).
The lenses run about $70, making the 3-in-1 under $25 per lens, and they come with lens covers and soft bags so you can put them in your pockets.. I was able to pick up the telephoto with the flip-up hard case for $99. There are also versions designed for several Android phones.
You can't expect DSLR-quality from a $25-70 lens, but having the ability to extend the usable range of your cell phone's camera can offer you perspectives and images not possible any other way.
Many of the lenses are unsharp, especially towards the corners. A fisheye in general distorts a scene. This one is blurry around the edge of the circle, and the image circle extends past the edge of the sensor. This is actually a good decision, since that maximizes the len's use of the rectangular sensor. The phone has trouble focusing with the macro on, even when using the Olloclip app, and the depth of field is very shallow, so small movements in the phone or subject make it even harder, so you may end up taking several photos to get a sharp one with the focus where you want it.. But again, to be able to extend the phone's capabilities at all and quickly capture shots not practical any other way, I find the macro and fisheye lenses particularly useful. One of these days I'll post a thorough review to my blog with lots of sample images.
I recently bought the equivalent lenses for the iPhone 6+, and they seem to be a step up in sharpness with less distortion. Other manufacturers are entering this market, so that competition will continue to drive quality up while holding prices to a reasonable level.
It is said that the best camera for the job is the one that's in your hand, and as the quality of mobile phone cameras increases, more and more often the camera in your hand ends up being your phone. Just as interchangeable lenses add value to a DSLR system, add-on lenses are becoming an increasingly useful accessory for extending the usefulness of your mobile phone's camera.

another study about the concept of degrees of pleats.
I was inspired to this model by ray schamp's crease pattern of a "4 degrees in 1" model which presents pleats of 4 different degrees of complexity. I decided to take a step back in fold only 3 layers of complexity.
now the complexity of a pleat is a strange thing. it can change.
for example take the first mountain pleat on the left and follow it to the right. it starts as a very simple pleat of 1°. then it meets a set of new parallel pleats and the complexity increases, it's now 2° and part of the classic miura-ori. later it meets yet another set of parallel pleats and becomes 3°.
so in a way you could talk about the "local degree" of a pleat which depends on its surroundings.
yopu could also think about the "global degree" of a pleat which would be the highest local degree it ever gets.
the degree of a model might be highest global degree of any pleat in it.
so looking at the model above it clears has 3 different regions of degrees 1, 2 and 3. the global degrees of a pleat depend on how many regions it crosses.
you can see the increasing of the local degree of pleats and the different degrees of the regions in the crease pattern below. you can also find several different pictures/diagrams of ray schamp where he explains the things I tried to convey and more. it's a very interesting read.

When I took this, I saw the two, and thought there might have been a third flame(s). My faith in what people have categorized as the Triune God ... Father, Son and Holy Spirit ... has been a mystery for as long as the term has been used (I believe circa 4th century); I'm not totally square with the explanations. My bad. I look at this image and realized ... there is only one wick, but three manifestations of the same fire. I know it isn't the same, but it gives me a little more basis to comprehend what is incomprehensible. I think ...

Ignore technique,please! This is my first ever attempt at something like this....finding abstract shapes prior to painting or drawing., and mapping them in several ways. I did not have a white object the shape I wanted, so just left the round box white, so had nothing to look at for shadow colors. And I tried things my way first combining them with instructions....then after a real failure, (upper left) I tried several ways of mapping, and by the time I did the black and grey, I was finally beginning to see what Liz was after! It was done completely with a brush...no lines of ink or pencil, so I guess I was finally familiar enough with the subject to SEE.
Taylor, Taylor & Hobson Cooke Kodak Anastigmat f/6.3 in a No 1 Optimo shutter with speeds to 1/300.
Per McKeown, the No 1 was made with the Cooke lens only in 1915-1916.
Unusually for a Kodak of this vintage the bellows look light tight. I had to put in a new ruby window as it was missing, clean the inside of the rear element as it was opaque with dust, and that's about it. The back doesn't seem to fit as well as it should, it needs some re-bending, but for now electrical tape should suffice.
When it comes to butterflies, one cannot go wrong in visiting this sanctuary of a sort . . . There are so many lovely creatures to admire during the warmer months, from the mainstream popular variety to the rare species.
If you genuinely have a love for nature, this site is a hidden gem. Nestled within the 8700(+/-) acres of the official Meadowlands (with beautiful wetlands and marshes galore), visitors have the opportunity to explore and learn about the region’s natural goings on, from the vast and amazing animal life to the fascinating plant life. The great number of bird species, both migratory and resident, enables anyone who appreciates the wonders of these winged friends some exciting experiences when at Richard DeKorte Park, a quiet sanctuary, and practically a stone’s throw away from Manhattan. There are many birders and wildlife photographers who consider this area as one of their choice places to visit. A wealth of insect species is also present, each with its own unique traits that keeps things interesting, and the furry, adorable critters, such as the muskrats, groundhogs, and occasional foxes, to name a few, along with several kinds of turtles, including the large snappers provides one with endless opportunities to observe the fascinating world of nature. Contrary to common perception amongst the general populace, you will be shocked by the wildflowers (often called weeds), for they are as lovely as the popular strands. Identifying and studying about the multitude of wild species is a challenge, but it can also be quite rewarding as you gain a bit of expertise with each outing.
Seasonal changes constantly offer fresh new looks . . . So, getting bored is rather difficult for the curious. Check out some of our ALBUMS related to the Meadowlands, including Mill Creek Marsh, Richard DeKorte Park, Mill Creek Point, Carlstadt River Barge, and Laurel Hill Park.
