"William Foster, AKA D-FENS, is an unemployed, divorced engineer in the defense industry who's reached his boiling point. First he finds himself in gridlock, which he deals with by abandoning his car. He subsequently happens across an unhelpful convenience store clerk whose prices D-FENS 'rolls back', by demolishing the store with a baseball bat after overpowering the clerk. Soon he finds himself in gangland, and deals with some tough-looking gang members by attacking them and running them off. When the gang members try to retaliate, it fails when they crash their car and D-FENS takes their bag full of guns. Unfortunately for him, a retiring cop is on his trail, and soon things will come to blows as D-FENS heads towards Venice for his young daughter's birthday party...."

Chevrolet Chevette:
The Chevrolet Chevette is a front-engine/rear drive subcompact manufactured and marketed by the Chevrolet division of General Motors for model years 1976-1987 in three-door and five-door hatchback body styles. Introduced in September 1975, the Chevette superseded the Vega as Chevrolet's entry-level subcompact and sold 2.8 million units over twelve model years. and joined the Vega's reworked model called the Chevrolet Monza. The Chevette was the best-selling small car in the U.S. for model years 1979 and 1980.
The Chevette was one of GM's T-cars, those employing General Motors' global T platform. GM manufactured and marketed more than 7 million[1] rebadged variants on the T platform worldwide, including the Pontiac Acadian in Canada, Pontiac T1000/1000 in the United States (1981-1987), K-180 in Argentina, Vauxhall Chevette, Opel Kadett, Isuzu Gemini, Holden Gemini and, as a coupe utility (pickup), the Chevy 500. A T-car variant remained in production in South America through 1998.
Development
Under the direction of chief engineer John Mowrey Chevrolet began developing the Chevette on December 24, 1973 in response to the 1973 Oil Crisis and GM's Energy Task Force, arising out of the crisis and the resultant shift in consumer demand to smaller, foreign vehicles boasting greater fuel-efficiency.
The Chevette used its basis GM's World Car, "Project 909" — what would become the T-car program, so named because the vehicles would share GM's T platform. With the well-known problems of its predecessor, the Vega — which included production issues, reliability problems and a serious propensity for corrosion — the team reworked the international platform such that the Chevette shared not a single body panel with another T-car and reworked the underbody extensively to enhance corrosion protection. Ironically, the Chevette's 1.4 liter base iron block engine, weighed 59 lbs less than the Vega's much heralded aluminum block engine.
The Chevette was officially launched on September 16, 1975, in Washington D.C. just after new legislation mandated Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards. With initial projected sales of 275,000 sales its first year, numbers were cut in half as the price of oil stabilized. The Chevette would ultimately reach 2,793,353 sales for its entire production across 12 model years 1976-1988. and global T-car sales would surpass 7 million. The last Chevette was manufactured on December 23, 1986, at Lakewood Assembly — following the end of production at Wilmington Assembly in September, 1985. The last Chevette manufactured was a light blue 2-door hatchback shipped to a Chevrolet dealer in Springdale, Ohio.
1978:
In 1978, models had a revised grille with a grid design, grille and headlight frames chromed for standard models, a four-door hatchback riding a 97.3 inches (2,470 mm) wheelbase was added — two inches longer than the two-door — and this version accounted for more than half of Chevette's nearly 300,000 sales. The 1.4 L engine and Woody were dropped. Fuel door added. TH-180 Automatic Transmission added to replace THM-200 series automatic. "HO" High Output version available in addition to the standard 1.6 L featuring a modified head and larger valves/cam profile. "HO" package also includes dual outlet exhaust manifold. Prices dropped and more standard equipment was added for 1978.

Manufactured from 1967 to 1969 by the Polaroid Corp. of Cambridge, Massachusetts. The “Automatics” added a fully automatic, transistorized electronic shutter that gave continuously-variable shutter speeds. They used a new type of film that loaded in flat, drop-in packs. The 210 was a light plastic model that used a simple viewfinder with a distance scale superimposed in the field of view (which was linked with parallax correction to the focusing mechanism). Shown here with it’s matching Polaroid 268 flash attachment that used an M3 clear bulb.
Fun fact: Many people thought the gang at Polaroid couldn’t count! After all, the numbers on the parts had #1 for focusing, #2 for taking the picture (releasing the shutter), #3 for cocking the shutter and #4 for pulling the film out to start development. Why did you cock the shutter in the middle of the process? Well, the reason is simple. The new electronic shutter was “on” once you fired the camera—powering a small CdS cell on the front panel to select a speed from 10 secs to 1/1200 sec. If you left the cocking lever in the “up” position, the shutter system stayed on, measuring light—and running down the camera battery! Polaroid numbered the steps so that you conserved battery power. And, when I used to sell camera equipment, we use to see many of these cameras come in with exploded and corroded batteries (sometimes completely ruining the camera) where the camera had been stored with the cocking lever up. See, you really should follow the steps 1-2-3-4 (see the additional image of the numbers on the pack camera)…

Also known as McDonnell Douglas CF-18 Hornet.
McDonnell-Douglas F-18 Hornet CF-188B.
In the 1970s, the Air Force decided that a single multi-role fighter type would replace its CF-101 Voodoos , CF-104 Starfighters and CF-116 Freedom Fighters. The resulting New Fighter Aircraft competition culminated in the selection of the McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18 Hornet. Canada became the first export customer for the type in a contract worth $2.34 (Cdn) billion. A number of Canadian-unique modifications were incorporated into the aircraft design. These included changes for Canadian unique weapons, a 600,000 candle power searchlight in the starboard nose for night intercepts, a modified survival kit and a land based ILS system replacing the USN automatic carrier landing system. Deployed to Canadian air defence (NORAD) and NATO squadrons, the CF-18 Hornet has lived up to all expectations. The multi-role capability of the Hornet has been repeatedly proven in CF use and the aircraft have been operationally employed in the Gulf War and more recently, in the NATO campaign over Kosovo. In the Gulf War, the aircraft were employed in both CAP and conventional strikes. Flying from Aviano, Italy, in the skies over Kosovo and Serbia, the aircraft was primarily employed in the attack role dropping both conventional and precision guided munitions.
The need to upgrade the CF-18 was demonstrated during the Gulf War I deployment and during the 1998 Kosovo conflict as advances in technology had rendered some of the avionics on board the CF-18 obsolete and incompatible with NATO allies. In 2000, CF-18 upgrades became possible when the government increased the defence budget.
In 2001 the Incremental Modernization Project (IMP) was initiated. The project was broken into two phases over a period of eight years and was designed to improve air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities, upgrade sensors and the defensive suite, and replace the datalinks and communications systems on board the CF-18 from the old F/A-18A and F/A-18B standard to the current F/A-18C and D standard. Boeing and L-3 Communications, was issued a contract for the modernization project starting in 2002. A total of 80 CF-18s, consisting of 62 single-seat and 18 dual-seat models were selected from the fleet for the upgrade program. The project along with the IMP II will extend the life of the CF-18 until around 2017 to 2020 when they are to be replaced by the F-35 Lightning II JSF.

Dassault Falcon 50EX.
Dassault Aviation was the first to create a private jet with intercontinental range: the Falcon 50. Seventeen years later, they re-created it, keeping the features that made it such a success, while modifying others with more advanced technology. The result is a private jet that looks and feels like its predecessor, but easily supersedes it. The Falcon 50EX cruises faster at high altitudes; flies further; burns less fuel; and generally outperforms the Falcon 50 in every respect.
The cabin of the Falcon 50EX is perhaps the part of the jet that has changed the least. It still has a height and width of 5.9 and 6.1 feet, respectively. At 23.5 feet in length the Falcon 50EX features a total cabin volume of 700 cubic feet. 115 cubic feet of baggage storage is available in internal compartments. Three closets in the cabin provide space for coats, suits, and briefcases. All baggage compartments are fully pressurized. A total of 2,205 pounds of bags can be stored.
The nine-passenger seating configuration is generally laid out in one four-seat club arrangement, and a separate section of two facing seats and a three-seat divan. Work tables fold out between facing seats so work can be completed in-flight. Power plugs are available for laptops and office equipment. Temperature control is separate for the cockpit and the cabin, so both parties are comfortable in-flight. Space and equipment for hot and cold food preparation come standard, including an oven, ice chest, and coffee maker.
The Falcon 50EX uses three Honeywell TFE731-40 turbofan engines, the second generation of the TFE731 series. They provide more thrust at cruise speeds and burn less fuel than the Falcon 50’s TFE731-3-1C engines. Providing the same amount of thrust for a sea level takeoff as the -3-1C engines, the -40s have an increased ambient temperature, meaning that they perform nearly the same at high altitudes and temperatures as they do at sea level. At an elevation of 5,000 feet and a temperature of 77°F, the -40 engines produce 3,440 pounds of thrust – 93% of the thrust produced at standard sea level conditions.
Furthermore, the -40 engines are equipped with FADEC (Full Authority N1-reference Digital Electronic Engine Control) systems, which automatically start and restart the engines on the ground, reducing pilot workload and optimizing fuel burn and performance. The engine manufacturing process used on the -40 engines is more precise, resulting in higher tolerances and reduced leakage.
The Falcon 50EX, like the Falcon 50, has great runway performance. It can take off in 4,935 feet at sea level and in 7,247 at an elevation of 5,000 feet and a temperature of 77°F. Its maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) has increased from 38,800 pounds to 39,700 pounds – a 900 pound increase. The Falcon 50EX can climb directly to an altitude of 37,000 feet in 17 minutes (13 minutes more quickly than the Falcon 50). It can cruise at 417 knots at an altitude of 43,000 feet for long range trips, or at 481 knots and an altitude of 39,000 feet for optimum speed. The maximum flight ceiling for the Falcon 50 is 49,000 feet.
The Falcon 50EX was designed using computer-molded fluid dynamics software and lightweight materials. Its primary structures are made of aluminum monocoque, while composites are used for some secondary structures. The aerodynamic design and materials slightly decrease the sound produced by the Falcon 50EX on takeoff to 83.8 EPNdB.
The three fuel tanks for the Falcon 50EX are regulated by electrical transfer pumps. These pumps can be used as emergency backup systems if both of the hydraulic systems that power the avionics fail. As unlikely as it would be to have all three systems fail, a fourth option is still available – all flight controls can be operated manually.
The avionics suite of the Falcon 50EX is based on the Collins Pro Line 4 suite. Four 7.25×7.25 inch screens display flight information. Flight controls are located close to the corresponding displays in an intuitive cockpit layout. The cockpit comes standard with a dual Pro Line II radio system, dual digital air-computers, a TWR-850 Doppler turbulence detection radar, an AlliedSignal dual Global GNS-XMS Flight Management System, and several other flight control and environmental awareness systems.
The Falcon 50 was a successful and high-performing private jet, but the Falcon 50EX outdoes it in every way. Everything from its cabin to its engines has been improved, resulting in a decidedly better private jet.
I need two things for this camera: film and some flashbulbs. Should work though!
I think this would be a bit of fun to carry at a party, but that's just me.

New Light Tactical Armoured Vehicle
BAE Systems Land Systems South Africa has won the Irish Army’s Light Tactical Armoured Vehicle (LTAV) contest, securing an order for 27 RG32M LTVs. The contract is worth some €19.6 million, and includes an option for a further batch of 27 vehicles. According to BAE, deliveries will start this year and take place over a three year period.
This deal follows on the heels of a third order from Sweden for the RG32M. The latest Swedish contract, announced last month (December) is for 60 vehicles and is worth some €18 million. It follows two previous orders for RG32Ms, the first – placed in 2005 – for 102 vehicles, and the second, placed in 2007, for another 98. The 200th and last vehicle acquired under these first and second contracts was delivered last year, and the first vehicle from the new contract will be delivered in February 2010. The RG32Ms of this third batch will be upgraded in various ways (the details are confidential) and the delivery of the production vehicles will be preceded by an upgrade and test cycle during this year.
Regarding the Irish order, the RG32M LTV was chosen after two months of intensive field trials, beating two European competitors – the Mowag Eagle IV from Switzerland, and the Iveco MLV from Italy. The Irish are adopting an LTAV, as they call this type of vehicle, specifically to participate in peacekeeping missions abroad, on behalf of the UN or EU – Ireland currently has an infantry battalion serving with the EU force in Chad.
In Irish service, the RG32M LTV will be employed in various roles, including surveillance, communications, target acquisition, and transporting US-made Javelin anti-tank missiles. The Irish vehicles will be armed either with 12,7 mm heavy machine guns or 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.
The RG32M LTV is the latest version of the RG32M, LTV standing for Light Tactical Vehicle. It has improved mine protection in comparison with previous models, providing greater blast survivability and crew protection.
The RG32M LTV is classified as a light armoured vehicle, in the light mine protected patrol vehicle category, and has a gross vehicle mass of only 9 t. Its armour can protect its crew from armour-piercing rifle fire as well as anti-tank land mine blasts, with its externally mounted windows providing improved side-blast protection. It has a 200 mm wider hull and 50 mm greater head space in comparison to earlier RG32Ms. The LTV version also has an increased, 2 t, payload and a new design of load bay which can take a wide variety of mission-specific equipment, making it more versatile. Despite its better protection and greater internal space, it has lost none of the ground clearance, agility, or mobility of the earlier versions.
The RG32M family makes extensive use of commercial-off-the-shelf components, reducing maintenace costs and minimising logistical burdens. These latest contracts take the total number of RG32Ms, of all models, built or on order, to more than 500. All have been, and will be, manufactured at the company’s plant in Benoni, east of Johannesburg

ADA in Vietnam – Automatic Weapons Battery (.50 Caliber Machine Gun)
The M55 Quad-.50 Caliber antiaircraft system was designed as a lightweight alternative to the M16 antiaircraft halftrack or M51 2-ton trailer Quad-.50 systems. While all three utilized the Maxson M45D quad-.50 turret, the M55 mounted on a compact M20 trailer and first saw service with the US Army Airborne Forces in the fall of 1944. The M55 could fire a staggering 2,600 rounds per minute (650 rounds per gun) and was easily transportable, whether in a C-47, glider or in the bed of a 2 ½ ton “deuce and a half” cargo truck.
By early 1966, Quad-50s were again pouring fire downrange, this time in South Vietnam in support of US forces. Four separate automatic weapons batteries used the M55 system in Vietnam in both the truck-mounted and fixed emplacement firebase defense roles.
The M35 series 2 1/2 ton truck served as the standard prime mover for the M55 system. M35s performed admirably in the gun truck role, often hauling more than twice their specified 5,000 lb. load. With the turret weighing in at 1,600 lbs, and 10,000 rounds of .50 caliber ammunition carried in the truck’s bed (4,000 lbs.), the AW battery gun trucks usually had at least 2,000 lbs. of additional sandbags, armor and crew equipment aboard as well. This additional weight tended to overstress and wear on transmission and engine components, causing gun trucks to be maintenance intensive. Due to the particularly rought terrain in the Central Highlands, E/41st replaced most of their M35s with M54 5-ton trucks by 1969.
M35 Specifications:
Weight: 13,000 lbs.
Length: 23 feet
Width: 7 feet 11 inches
Height: 9 feet 4 inches
Engine: (M35A1) 140hp LDS-427 Turbo Multifuel Engine
Range: 400 miles
Crew: 5 (driver, commander, gunner, and two loaders)
The primary missions for the Air Defense Quad-.50s in Vietnam were convoy escort and firebase defense.
The terrain in the Central Highlands of II Corps wore down E/41st M35 trucks rather quickly, particularly because of the increased loads they would typically carry. Following in the footsteps of several transportation gun truck companies in the region, E/41st adopted the M54 5-ton truck, giving them increased performance and a heavier load carrying capability. That increased load capacity translated into better armor and crew protection and more ammunition for the .50 calibers.
Citation:
The President of the United States of America, authorized by Act of Congress, July 9, 1918 (amended by act of July 25, 1963), takes pleasure in presenting the Distinguished Service Cross to Sergeant Jeffery G. Jarman, United States Army, for extraordinary heroism in connection with military operations involving conflict with an armed hostile force in the Republic of Vietnam, while serving with Battery D (Machine Gun), 71st Artillery, II Field Force Artillery. Sergeant Jarman distinguished himself by exceptionally valorous actions on 18 May 1969 during a coordinated rocket and ground attack on Husky Compound at Xuan Loc. Shortly after midnight, from his position on a quad fifty-caliber machine gun, Sergeant Jarman detected a large North Vietnamese force advancing on the perimeter and immediately directed fire on the assaulting troops. As the battle continued, he realized that the compound’s other quad fifty-caliber gun had fallen silent. Fearing that the emplacement was in danger, Sergeant Jarman dashed across the fire-swept base to reach the other weapon. Observing that the position had received a direct rocket grenade hit, he quickly removed one casualty to safety. Returning to extract the second wounded gunner, Sergeant Jarman was shot in the shoulder by an enemy soldier who had penetrated the perimeter. Using his good arm, he fired his M-16 rifle killing three hostile invaders and routing the remaining aggressors. While Sergeant Jarman provided suppressive fire, members of the gun crew moved the casualties to a nearby 105 millimeter howitzer position to receive medical treatment. Only after he expended his ammunition did he withdraw to the howitzer where he assisted the artillery crew in cutting fuses and dispensing ammunition. Suddenly, a rocket impacted next to the howitzer, wounding several of the crew members as well as Sergeant Jarman. Despite his multiple wounds, he braved the incoming fusillade to drag several critically wounded men to the next howitzer position. When all of the casualties had been moved, he continued to fire on the enemy until rendered unconscious by his wounds. Sergeant Jarman’s extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.

Air Defense Units in Vietnam
The US air defense role in the Republic of Vietnam was straightforward: defend friendly ground forces from air and ground attack. The equipment Air Defenders had at their disposal ranged from World War 2 vintage M55 Quad-.50 caliber machine gun turrets to the cutting edge MIM-23 Hawk Missile System.
Arriving in South Vietnam in early 1966 as “Artillery” battalions and separate batteries, Air Defenders served under I and II Field Force, providing convoy escort, firebase defense, battlefield illumination and an air defense umbrella over friendly territory that was second to none.
Three battalions and eight separate batteries covered friendly skies from the DMZ south to the Mekong Delta. Two additional battalions provided medium range air defense for the cities of Da Nang and Saigon from the very real threat of North Vietnamese IL-28 medium bombers.
In July 1968, Air Defense split from the Artillery branch and became an independent branch of the US Army. Although relatively few in number, Air Defenders in Vietnam made an indelible impression on the US experience in Vietnam and those battalions returned home in 1972 as the combat-experienced core of the Army’s newest branch.

The IIId Automatic's successor, in mostly working order. Speeds below 1/30th are useless, but the light meter and guide needles both work as does everything else so not bad overall. Put on the Quinon lens i own, this came with another Westanar 50mm f/2.8 (i now have three).
I got lens spanner this week so i took apart two of the Westanars and cleaned the glass and fixed the stuck aperture blades, they work great now.
Now that i do own this i now have every King Regula interchange lens rangefinder, just need the lenses now :)
The first time I used it, I thought it was some kind of tap and, when nothing happened immediately, I took my hand away only to have it squirt soap into the sink.
Finally. It took long enough to get here, let alone win a legit complete auction.
I wanted a black dial and black bezel diver, and my main options were a 007 and a 173(007 w/round markers is asian market in both singapore and japanese movement, 173 w/square markers is north american and singapore movement). I could have chosen some other watches and swapped bezels, such as a 171 so I can have a poor mans marine master, but I like the flat and painted dials since they have a bit more of a military look than the classier raised ones.
I preferred the square markers, despite losing jdm movement. I won this domestically on ebay with box and paperwork from the original owner. Z22 strap had snapped though, so I have a new Z22, Jubilee, and nylon Seiko bund band on order from Singapore. I'll mostly have the zulu on, swap between bund/rubber, and steel for formal occasions.
I was planning on a complete MKII make over, but I decided all I'm gonna do is change the date wheel to one with Kanji, and use sword hands. Subtle changes that enthusiasts will still appreciate, while still being accessible to the general public. Yes, my watch will have quite a bit of an identity crisis, but so will my other wrist once I have my tattoo sorted out.

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.
