KCW Day 2.
Sandbox shorts for my nephews. Love this pattern, but there is a lot of assembling to do....
Floor and Kitchen cabinet installed.
The bins are weight to keep the floor firmly in place while the 3M 5200 cures. I will leave them for about 72 hours

Back of the shutter. Aperture ring and four screws. I tried to remove them, hoping that some sort of back plate would come off, or shutter would come out.
It didnt. It seems that the shutter has to be disassembled mostly from top, where there are some additional screws holding it in a cup like shell.
Held on an evening after classes have ended, Senior Assembly is a traditional ceremony in which the Amherst College faculty honors the graduating students. After a procession into Johnson Chapel, the Dean of the Faculty opens the ceremony, and the President awards prizes and honorary class memberships. Two students and a faculty member address the graduating class, and the ceremony ends with a recessional. Photo by Jiayi Liu
To celebrate the completion of the Iowa Assessments, Callanan Middle School held an assembly on April 10th. The school watched a student vs. faculty basketball game. Then two instructors from Farrell's performed martial arts. The event ended with three names drawn for prizes.
As a PTA fundraiser for Callanan, Farrell's will offer four martial arts classes to students for $20 later in April.
The huge Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB) at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
Completed in 1966, the VAB was originally built to allow for the vertical assembly of the Saturn V rocket for the Apollo program. It is now used for housing external fuel tanks and flight hardware, and for assembling the Space Shuttle (i.e. mating the orbiter to the solid rocket boosters and external fuel tank).
VAB is the largest 1-story building in the world and the fourth largest by volume. It's 160 m tall, 218 m long and 158 m wide. There are four entries to the bays located inside the building, each is the largest door in the world. Each door is 139 high, so the Statue of Liberty could have passed through with ease, and takes 45 minutes to completely open or close.
The flag is 63,7 m high and 33,5 m wide, it was added in 1976 as part of the United States Bicentennial celebrations. The NASA insignia or the "meatball" was added in 2008, when the building was repainted to mend visible damage from years of storms and weathering (it was damaged by Hurricane Frances in 2004).
S-IC First Stage
The S-IC (pronounced “ess one see”) was the first stage of the American Saturn V rocket. The S-IC stage was built by the Boeing Company. Like the first stages of most rockets, most of its mass of more than 2,000 tons at launch was propellant, in this case RP-1 rocket fuel and liquid oxygen (LOX) oxidizer. It was 42 meters tall and 10 meters in diameter, and provided 33,000 kN of thrust to get the rocket through the first 61 kilometers of ascent. The stage had five F-1 engines in a quincunx arrangement. The center engine was fixed in position, while the four outer engines could be hydraulically gimballed to control the rocket.
The S-IC was built by the Boeing Company at the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans, where the Space Shuttle External Tanks would later be built by Lockheed Martin. Most of its mass at launch was propellant, RP-1 fuel with liquid oxygen as the oxidizer. It was 138 feet (42 m) tall and 33 feet (10 m) in diameter, and provided over 7,600,000 pounds-force (34,000 kN) of thrust. The S-IC stage had a dry weight of about 289,000 pounds (131 metric tons) and fully fueled at launch had a total weight of 5,100,000 pounds (2,300 metric tons). It was powered by five Rocketdyne F-1 engines arrayed in a quincunx (five units, with four arranged in a square, and the fifth in the center) The center engine was held in a fixed position, while the four outer engines could be hydraulically turned (gimballed) to steer the rocket. In flight, the center engine was turned off about 26 seconds earlier than the outboard engines to limit acceleration. During launch, the S-IC fired its engines for 168 seconds (ignition occurred about 8.9 seconds before liftoff) and at engine cutoff, the vehicle was at an altitude of about 36 nautical miles (67 km), was downrange about 50 nautical miles (93 km), and was moving about 7,500 feet per second (2,300 m/s).
•General Specifications
oHeight: 42 m (138 ft)
oDiameter: 10 m (33 ft)
oMass: 2,280,000 kg (5,030,000 lb)
oEngines: 5 F-1 engines
oThrust: 33,400 kN (7,500,000 lbf)
oBurn time: 150 s
oFuel: RP-1 and liquid oxygen
Manufacturing
The Boeing Co. was awarded the contract to manufacture the S-IC on December 15, 1961. By this time the general design of the stage had been decided on by the engineers at the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). The main place of manufacture was the Michoud Assembly Facility, New Orleans. Wind tunnel testing took place in Seattle and the machining of the tools needed to build the stages at Wichita, Kansas.
MSFC built the first three test stages (S-IC-T, the S-IC-S, and the S-IC-F) and the first two flight models (S-IC-1 and -2). They were built using tools produced in Wichita.
It took roughly seven to nine months to build the tanks and 14 months to complete a stage. The first stage built by Boeing was S-IC-D, a test model.
Components
The largest and heaviest single component of the S-IC was the thrust structure, with a mass of 21 ton. It was designed to support the thrust of the five engines and redistribute it evenly across the base of the rocket. There were four anchors which held down the rocket as it built thrust. These were among the largest aluminum forgings produced in the U.S. at the time, 4.3 meters long and 816 kilograms in weight. The four stabilizing fins withstood a temperature of 1100 °C.
Above the thrust structure was the fuel tank, containing 770,000 liters of RP-1 fuel. The tank itself had a mass of 11 ton dry and could release 7300 liters per second. Nitrogen was bubbled through the tank before launch to keep the fuel mixed. During flight the fuel was pressurized using helium, that was stored in tanks in the liquid oxygen tank above.
Between the fuel and liquid oxygen tanks was the intertank.
The liquid oxygen tank held 1,305,000 liters of LOX. It raised special issues for the designer. The lines through which the LOX ran to the engine had to be straight and therefore had to pass through the fuel tank. This meant insulating these lines inside a tunnel to stop fuel freezing to the outside and also meant five extra holes in the top of the fuel tank.
Two solid motor retrorockets were located inside each of the four conical engine fairings. At separation of the S-IC from the flight vehicle, the eight retrorockets fired, blowing off removable sections of the fairings forward of the fins, and backing the S-IC away from the flight vehicle as the engines on the S-II stage were ignited.

The Assembly Rooms are in central Edinburgh. Originally solely a meeting place for social gatherings, it is now also used as an arts venue and for public events, including the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and the Hogmanay celebrations. There are four rooms that are used year-round and are available for private functions: Music Hall, Ballroom, Supper Room and Edinburgh Suite. The building is protected as a category A listed building as "an outstanding example of the late 18th century public building, continuing its original use"
The Assembly Rooms opened on 11 January 1787 for the Caledonian Hunt Ball. The building was funded by public subscription, costing over £6,000. The prominent site at the centre of George Street, in the centre of the recently established New Town, was donated by the town council. The Assembly Rooms was designed by John Henderson, a local architect, who died young shortly after the building was completed.
The building was extended several times during the 19th century. In 1818 a portico was added by William Burn. Burn and his partner David Bryce designed the Music Hall in 1843. Finally, in 1907, new side wings were completed to designs by Robert Rowand Anderson and Balfour Paul. [Wikipedia]
