His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.
"Apollo 13 Recovery Area -- Two of the Apollo 13 astronauts, John L. Swigert, Jr. (l.) and James A. Lovell, Jr. (center), CDR, await pickup by rescue helicopter, as pararescuemen waits to assist in the operation. They, and astronaut Fred W. Haise, Jr., who was hoisted aboard the recovery helicopter before this photograph was taken, circled the Moon and returned to Earth when spacecraft technical problems eliminated the planned lunar landing by Lovell and Haise in the Moon's Fra Mauro region."

Apollo 13 Command Module Odyssey on display at the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchison, KS
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under the NASA in the United States. It launched on April 11, 1970. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, causing the Service Module portion of the Apollo Command/Service Module to lose its oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a ?lifeboat? in space. The command module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve its capability to reenter Earth?s atmosphere upon return to the earth. The crew endured difficult conditions due to severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, but successfully returned to Earth.
The pub on this site has a long history, but since the late-60s has been at the bottom of a car park building. It was boarded up for much of the late-2000s, but reopened in 2010. Not a great photo, I'm sorry. In any case, now a hole in the ground as of mid-2013.

Counter Culture Coffee Espresso Apollo 6.3
Apollo 6.3 is 80% Ethiopia Shilicho and 20% Peru La Frontera. As the coffee cools you get the delightful floral aromatics I think from the La Frontera. But the Ethiopian coffee is really in the flavor. As I brew in a chemex it does bring out the Ethiopian beans and mutes the chocolate tones of the La Frontera. The acidity in my mouth definitely feels lemon like with a creamy texture, probably due to the darker roast used.
Many times I like to try coffees that are made to be brewed as espresso in my chemex. It offers a "stripped down" approach that might reveal what would otherwise be overwhelmed in the espresso shot. To put it as an analogy, think of watching an action movie in slow motion like in the Matrix.

Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.
11-13 and 16-19 May 2017 (note changed show dates for this production)
Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!
Apollo command module at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. I believe it is Command Module "Kitty Hawk" from Apollo 14, but I may be mistaken. Technically an HDR picture, but without the "surreal" look that many get.

The worship of Apollo Smintheus (or Apollo Sminthius) extended only to Asia Minor and not the Greek mainland. Alexandria in Troas was the center of this cult. This is one of the strongest arguments for the thesis that the origin of the Apollo cult was Asia minor.
After the fall of Troy the Greeks start to spread to the East. They settled on the Aegean islands and the western coast of Asia Minor. The worship of Apollo in this region had a curious origin. When the old Teukri under their king Teucer came from Crete to the coast of Asia Minor, the oracle told them to stay there where they could see their enemies creeping out of the ground. When they came to Hamaxitos, a city in this region, the mice creeping out of the ground gnawed on their shields during the night. So they saw the oracle of the god fulfilled, settled down and erected a statue of Apollo with a mouse laying at his feet, which in the Aeolian dialect was called Smintha. (Ovid Met. II, 5685)
There are known two different versions of Apollo Smintheus depictions:
1. A cult statue where he stands facing front holding a mouse in his hand. This version is characteristic of Alexandria in Troas. The fact that the statue is held by the Genius of the city may be an allusion that the temple of Apollo got governmental benefits. (Pat Lawrence)
2. A cult statue where Apollo is standing left and has a mouse under his foot. In Chryse there was a statue made by Scopas, showing exactly this position. This statue is depicted on coins.
The meaning of the epithet 'Smintheus' is interpreted different ways:
1. The origin of the name is the city of Sminthe in Troas, where Apollo was worshippedin pre-Hellenic times. So Apollo Smintheus = Apollo from Sminthe.
2. In the Aeolian dialect 'smintha' means 'mouse'. So Apollo Smintheus = the mice-god. The mouse in ancient times was a symbol of prophetic power because it was thought mice were inspired by the exhaling coming out of the ground.
3. Apollo the mice-killer. The Greek already had recognized the mice as vermin and worshipped Apollo as protector against mice.
The second explanation seems the most probable. It is unlikely the Greeks might have identified mice as carriers of plagues because they would have been incorrect. It is the rat flea that carries plague. The mouse is innocent.
The first mention of Apollo Smintheusis found in Homer's Ilias I, 39. The beginning of the Ilias describes how Apollo strikes the Greeks with a plague because Agamemnon has raped Chrysis, the daughter of Apollo's priest Chryses, and so has humiliated his priest.
The old man, afraid, obeyed his words, walked off in silence,
along the shore by the tumbling, crashing surf.
Some distance off, he prayed to Lord Apollo,
Leto's fair-haired child:
"God with the silver bow,
protector of Chryse, sacred Cilla, 40
mighty lord of Tenedos, Sminthean Apollo,
hear my prayer: If I've ever pleased you
with a holy shrine, or burned bones for you— [40]
bulls and goats well wrapped in fat—
grant me my prayer. Force the Danaans
to pay full price for my tears with your arrows."
So Chryses prayed. Phoebus Apollo heard him.
He came down from Olympus top enraged,
carrying on his shoulders bow and covered quiver,
his arrows rattling in anger against his arm. 50
So the god swooped down, descending like the night.
He sat some distance from the ships, shot off an arrow—
the silver bow reverberating ominously.
First, the god massacred mules and swift dogs, [50]
then loosed sharp arrows in among the troops themselves.
Thick fires burned the corpses ceaselessly.

The Apollo Fuel Cell was designed to convert cryogenic oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2) into electrical power. A vitally important by-product of this chemical reaction was the production of water (H2O) which was used by the astronauts during their mission. A complement of three 28-volt fuel cells provided all the onboard electrical power to the Apollo Command and Service Module (the Lunar Excursion Module was battery powered). Each fuel cell was rated at 1.5kW, with a maximum power of 2.2kW for brief periods. Each fuel cell consisted of 31 cells connected in scries (each producing one volt) and weighed 245 pounds. Each fuel cell had its own hydrogen and oxygen compartment and two electrodes (conductors). The heat produced by the chemical reaction (mixing H2 with O2) was used to maintain the gases at a reactive temperature (385 F) while excess heat was vented into space. The three power cells operated in parallel; although a single power plant was enough to ensure safe return. Fuel cells were first tested during the Gemini program and are still used today, in modified form, aboard the Space Shuttle.
This is one of the most well known music halls in the world. It is well known for its African American acts that have appeared there. The building opened in 1913 in Harlem, NY. Buddy Holly claimed to be the first white act in 1953 but others have disputed that. A young Jimi Hendrix got his start here when he won a talent competition in 1964. In 1987, they started filming Showtime at the Apollo here, and it is still on air today. That show allows professionals and up and coming artists to perform on stage together. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on Nov 17, 1983.
