Lomography Babylon 13 film/Adox HR-DEV 1+39 developer
Testing Babylon 13 (relabeled Orwo DN21), a low-speed specialty film that comes with little processing information; the web is also mostly silent about it. Developing in Adox HR-DEV for 11 min. at 22° C worked quite well, with better shadow detail than in Adox FX-39 II also for 11 min. at 22° C.
Alba na Mara is fi tted with three trawl winches
each carrying 800 metres of 20mm diameter
wire. These winches will allow her to operate
a single demersal trawl, a twin demersal trawl
or a pelagic trawl. The ability to twin trawl
is particularly useful as it augments Marine
Scotland’ ability to carry out fi shing gear
research to investigate technical measures.
The aim of these measures is generally to
facilitate selective escape of immature fi sh or of
particular fi sh species from the trawl. The single
demersal and pelagic trawls are used for stock
assessment purposes.
Handling scientifi c equipment
Alba na Mara is fi tted with a range of onboard
cranes, winches and net-drums to enable the safe
deployment of scientifi c equipment. Noteworthy
in particular is the Gamma Frame, a one-sided A
frame, that is used to launch scientifi c equipment
overboard and can also be used to manoeuvre
the scallop dredges.
Echosounders
As well as a Simrad ES 60 fi shing sounder,
Alba na Mara is fi tted with an EK 60 scientifi c
sounder which operates at 38,120 and 200 kHz.
The transducers for this system are mounted in
a pod fi tted to a shaft – enabling the pod to be
deployed up to one metre below the keel in an
attempt to improve acoustic performance.
lba na Mara was built by MacDuff Shipbuilders
Ltd for the Scottish Government and entered
service in 2008. Operating from her home port
of Fraserburgh, the vessel is used for fi sh and
shellfi sh stock assessment and environmental
monitoring in the North Sea and on the west
coast of Scotland. She carries a crew of eight,
and can accommodate up to fi ve scientists.
One of the most important functions of Marine
Scotland is to provide the Scottish Government
with expert advice on environmental and
fi sheries management. This can be achieved
only through the provision of scientifi c work
conducted at sea. To facilitate expert and
technical advice, it is essential to have research
vessels of a high calibre that can operate in both
inshore and offshore areas – Alba na Mara and
Scotia respectively perform this role for Marine
Scotland.
Primarily operating in the inshore zone, Alba
na Mara monitors fi sh, Nephrops and scallop
stocks in order to gather the independent data
required to aid the sustainable management of
fi sheries. The vessel also researches the wider
marine ecology, including the examination
of factors important in sustaining fi sh stocks
and other marine wildlife. Further research
evaluates the environmental impact of
aquaculture, and other anthropogenic inputs as
an adjunct to understanding the physical and
biological oceanography of the coastal zone.
Comfort
Alba na Mara has been built to an exceptionally
high standard by MacDuff Shipbuilders Limited
to provide a very fl exible vessel capable of
undertaking a wide variety of tasks. A vital
requirement for any research vessel is a stable
working platform to carry out scientifi c work,

The Dry Tortugas, a small cluster of reefs, islands and shoals 70 miles from Key West, are the terminal link in the Florida Keys. Juan Ponce de Leon anchored here on June 13, 1513, and due to the abundance of turtles on the islands, christened the area Las Tortugas. Later, the islands appeared on maps as the Dry Tortugas, alerting mariners that the area offered no fresh water. The collection of islands includes Loggerhead Key, Bush Key, Garden Key, Middle Key, Hospital Key, Long Key, and East Key.
In 1819, Spain ceded Florida to the United States, although the treaty was not officially ratified until 1821. Shortly after gaining control of the territory, the federal government dispatched Commander Matthew C. Perry to survey the Floridian coastline. Recognizing the danger posed by the reefs surrounding the Florida Keys, Perry recommended the construction of lighthouses at Cape Florida, Key Largo, Sand Key, and at the Dry Tortugas. In 1822, the Treasury Department requested $8,000 for the construction of the Dry Tortugas Lighthouse, and Congress responded two years later with the necessary funds.
The site selected for the lighthouse was Garden Key, located near the center of the Dry Tortugas. From Garden Key, the light would cover all the islands and also mark the fine harbor just north of the island. In route to Florida, the ship carrying the building supplies was lost at sea, delaying the start of construction on the lighthouse until 1825. The conical brick tower rising to a height of sixty-five feet was completed in March of 1826, however the appointed keeper didn’t arrive for several more months.
A U.S. revenue cutter was sent to transport John R. Flaherty, along with his family and belongings, from their home near Baltimore to the Dry Tortugas. The cutter was unable to accommodate all of the family’s baggage, which should have been the first sign that this appointment to an isolated station just wasn’t going to work. On July 4, 1826, the Garden Key Light, consisting of fifteen lamps set in metal reflectors, was first exhibited by Keeper Flaherty.
Flaherty’s wife Rebecca strongly disliked the heat, boredom, and mosquitoes associated with her new environs and communicated her discomfort to the wife of President John Quincy Adams. Flaherty was described as a lazy and incompetent keeper whose mismanagement of the light led to the buildup of a thick coat of soot on the lantern glass, which greatly reduced the effectiveness of the light. After fourteen months at Garden Key, Flaherty swapped positions with the keeper of the Sand Key Lighthouse near Key West, where he and his wife would be closer to civilization.
Even after the departure of Flaherty, mariners continued to complain about the inadequacy of the light. Captains claimed that a vessel would run aground on shoals and reefs before seeing the light. The original fifteen lamps were replaced by twenty-three new lamps and reflectors, however, this improvement did not stop the complaints.
The lighthouse at the Dry Tortugas was critical for all vessels transporting goods from the Mississippi River or the western shore of Florida, as they had to round the islands before heading up the eastern seaboard. The U.S. military also realized early on that any power, foreign or domestic, that controlled the Dry Tortugas would also control navigation in the Gulf of Mexico. Accordingly, work on Fort Jefferson, which would become known as the "Gibraltar of the Gulf", began in 1846 at Garden Key. The brick walls of the six-sided fort stand forty-five feet high and are eight feet thick. The fort encloses most of the sixteen-acre island, and the lighthouse was located in the angle of Bastion C.
Work on the fort continued for three decades, but it was never completed. Although the fort was not involved in any battles, it did house over 2,200 prisoners over a ten-year period, with a peak of 900 prisoners in 1864. The most noteworthy prisoners were four individuals convicted of complicity in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Edman Spangler, who worked at Ford Theater, was convicted of aiding John Wilkes Booth’s flight from the murder scene. Both Samuel Arnold and Michael O’Laughlen were sentenced to life for conspiring with Booth on an earlier plan to kidnap the President. Dr. Samuel Mudd was found guilty of conspiracy and harboring Booth during his escape, at which time Mudd set and splinted Booth’s leg that was broken in his jump from the State Box onto the theater’s stage. The four prisoners arrived at Fort Jefferson in the summer of 1865.
An outbreak of yellow fever struck the fort in 1867, and among those who died from the disease were the fort’s physician and O’Laughlen. Dr. Mudd, though he also contracted the disease, assumed a leadership role in caring for the sick. A petition in support of Mudd was later signed by noncommissioned officers and soldiers at the fort and sent to the federal government. In early 1869, the three surviving prisoners at Fort Jefferson connected to Lincoln’s assassination were pardoned by President Andrew Johnson.
To answer the call for a better light, a 150-foot-tall tower was built on Loggerhead Key, three miles west of Garden Key, in 1858. After the completion of the new lighthouse, the one on Garden Key was downgraded to a fourth-order harbor light, renamed the Tortugas Harbor Lighthouse. A hurricane in October of 1873 delivered a devastating blow to the Dry Tortugas. The Garden Key Lighthouse was badly damaged, and although repairs were made, the lighthouse inspectors recommended the tower be torn down and replaced by an iron structure erected on the walls of the fort. Congress appropriated $5,000 for the new structure in 1875, and the hexagonal, three-story tower made of boilerplate iron was in place atop Bastion C for its first lighting on April 5th of the following year.
A fire on Garden Key in 1912, destroyed the keeper’s dwelling and led to the installation of an automated acetylene light that same year. The light was discontinued in 1921, although a decorative light was later placed in the tower. The remote grouping of islands was designated the Fort Jefferson National Monument by President Roosevelt in 1935, and became Dry Tortugas National Park in 1992.

The bad news is that the airplane he's pasted on could be the biggest pile of shit the United State military has ever procured.
It's expensive, it seems to be taking forever to get all the bugs worked out and it's ugly as hell...will the Lockheed-Martin F-35A/B/C work out as intended?
JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues on the back dike raising at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "14A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with Chad Brown, vice president of Ashridge Construction, the prime contractor. The project includes the placement of 198,000 cubic yards of dredge material to raise the back dike, plus an additional 40,000 cubic yards of sediment, according to Brown. It also includes the placement of 170,000 square yards of geotechnical fabric, which is layered under the dredge material to improve the structural stability of the dike. The team is also installing wick drains to help dissipate the groundwater. Construction began in the spring of 2013 and is slated for completion in October. The Corps' Savannah District is responsible for operating and maintaining the Savannah shipping channel (and its associated dredge disposal areas) to ensure commerce has safe and adequate access to and from the Garden City Ocean Terminal. The Savannah Harbor is the nation's fourth busiest container port. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.
Guess who's back!!!!!!!!!!! :DD He took a week~ish to arrive via First-Mail. God-bless you, USPS.
Junebug <33 Rykaan did such an amazing job on him! And she works super fast!
He's so adorable, gah! ;w; His wig hasn't arrived yet... and I need to buy new eyes for him.
One pair of the Mako eyes were supposed to be his, but I think they're too dark for him.. :c
Work done:
Face-up | Body Blushing w/ freckles | Teeth modded to have a gap. Thus, gappy XD
I adore his freckles so much okay, though you can't see them.

JASPER COUNTY, S.C.—Work continues at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah Harbor dredge disposal area "12A" shown here Aug. 29, 2013. Col. Thomas Tickner, commander for the Corps' Savannah District, and his staff visit the work site and meet with David Snodgrass, a quality control manager from Edgefield Construction, the prime contractor for the 12A improvement project. The project includes the placement of 1.2 million cubic yards of dredge material to raise the dike, and the placement of 158,000 cubic yards of dredge material to place on inshore bird island, according to William Lane, Corps quality control inspector. The bird island will be topped with an additional 30,000 cubic yards of coarse sand, relocated from dredge disposal area "14B." The sand will form a two-foot layer to provide adequate nesting habitat for birds. The project also includes repairing five weirs—structures that control the flow of water to the disposal area—and expanding walkways on the weirs. When complete, the 12A project will increase the Corps' capacity to hold more dredged material from the Savannah Harbor. Construction began Sept. 2012 and is slated for completion in October 2013. The whole 12A interior spans 1,100 acres and is the Corps' largest disposal area for the Savannah Harbor.

So I'm now in Hanoi. In the last week or so I did:
6 hr bus from Da Lat to Nha Trang, great, cheap hotel overnite in Nha Trang (decent beach, good food/bar scene that I skipped, no waves...lots of paragliding). Pondered trip to Budapest and Krakow, maybe Bratislava.
Nite bus from Nha Trang to Hoi An, morning nap and hotel overnite in Hoi An (cute town with neat shops of silk fabrics, ceramics, lamps, carvings, paintings....i bought a tshirt for 1.75 usd, I have three now, so less washing).
4 hr bus to Hue, stayed on nite in Hue - not very exciting place. Pondered trip to Istanbul & turkey
10 hr train to Ninh Binh one nite, next day Tam Coc, then bus to Hai Phong. Pondered Alaska
2 hour hydrofoil to Cat Ba island. 2 nites in Cat Ba
4 hr boat ride to mainland (pondered Beijing and great wall of china, and ____ with terra cotta warriors), then 3 hr bus to Hanoi - pondering beating the crap out of the guy sleeping on my arm....like it wasn't hot enough without A/C
Now here in Hanoi where I'm happy, fat and comfy. Good internet near my 12 dollar room (which has hbo, cinemax, lots of football - if the a/c worked well i'd be in there all day).
Ha Noi is cool already, has a very distinguished feel in the old quarter, but I'm tired of vietnam and will be moving on. So I'll leave indochine soon, maybe for NC, but I guess I'm still open. Not ready for the real world, but ready for something more constructive and a little less transient.

I loved this Renoir they have at the Rhode Island School Of Design's museum. In general I preferred their collrection of 20th C work to the impressionist collection but this one really spoke to me. Maybe because I love magazines so much!
Austin last week had a ww2 war propaganda poster to draw. He picked one he thought he could handle since he claims to have no art talent. I love watching him work, he often sticks his tongue out while concentrating and I think it's pretty adorable. Then again I do it too, he is the most like me out of the three. He finished up and said, he figured it was C work. He came home the next day and when I asked about it he smiled and said A+. He is doing well considering he is going through a rough patch.
C worked for three days to get a new light in our old pool working - couldn't have been a more difficult task - concrete slabs cut, deep hole dug, new conduit dug into garden bed perimeter, rewired, new light, pool emptied, repairs, pool refilled, water tested and chemicals added to restore to correct levels.

When a desire for the loan and exchange of books got to be frequent, Wm. J. Cammeron's drug store in what is now the east half of the Ben Franklin Variety store at 133 Park Avenue became the place to borrow a donated book. That was April 3, 1915. The Barrington Woman's Club was strongly behind this idea and boosted for books till a room on Cook Street over George Wagner's market -- formerly the Hank Abbott Drug Store -- was rented and different women of the Woman's Club took turns on certain days as librarians. Mrs. R.C. Work and Mrs. Gertrude (John) Schwemm were among the Club's committee who kept its needs and promotion ever before the public. Later the library moved to 119 E. Main Street over Ed. Rieke's confectionary store, -- now Marie's Bakery. Olive Dobson took over as librarian and did an excellent job in the work. To further this essential feature of civic welfare, several attempts were made to get permission of the voters to levy a small library tax but did not get it until April of 1924. By a vote of 670 to 285 a tax of one and one eighth mills through the village budget was allowed, and in 1926 a Library Board was elected.
Before the voting of the library tax, a stimulus to better library organization was the initial gift of $1,000.00 left by Mrs. Caroline (George) Ela who died February 28, 1914. Frank Hecht later gave $1,000.00 in memory of his mother.
In 1933 the library was housed, by the gracious permission of the Village Board, in the council chamber of the village hall. The trustees moved into a back room of the new addition.
The Woman's Club deserves credit, more perhaps than our Public offers, for the years of struggle that they put up to keep buying new books, to keep a librarian, to keep a place for the library and try to keep some one responsible for building fires and keeping the place warm and so forth. New books were added as funds could be spared. Many books were donated from Personal libraries. Good reference works and wholesome fiction has been the maintained policy of our library. The circulation, after inventory of 1956, was eleven thousand books.
The space in the village hall was too small for the book stacks alone and but little space was available there for reading and study. So, by a successful vote in November of 1953, the library board was permitted to purchase a site for a new library. A lot on South Hough Street at Monument Avenue 125 by 150 feet was purchased from Frank C. Weyer in the old Hawley pasture. One argument for this site so far from downtown was that with two-thirds of the library cards in the south half of the village this spot would be midway of the Hough Street and the Grove Avenue elementary schools. A library tax of four and a half mills in 1955 and a jubilee parade followed.
A building bond issue for $60,000.00 was authorized on June 5, 1956, by a vote of 279 to 83 and were bought by Scott, Wyandt of Chicago offering a premium of $102.60 and an interest rate of three and a quarter per cent. In September of that same year ground was broken and the building, as planned by architect Ralph Stoetzel, was under construction. Cornerstone laying was on October 14, 1956, and the building was completed in June, 1957. The beautiful building is of Williamsburg style, of one story on Hough and two story on the west with two large picture windows in the spacious base- ment reading rooms. The walls are of waxed elm throughout, with a fine office opposite the main entrance.
On July 2, 1957, the library in the old location in the village hall was closed and all was moved up the street to their new home. On July 8, it was opened to the public. A housewarming was held or Sunday, July 21, with a flag presentation by the V.F.W. It was a credit to the board and all the interested boosters who made the dream a reality. A beautiful terrace garden in memory of one of its former boosters, Mrs. Nellie Hammond, was laid at the north end of the building.

My rental for the trip, a 2017 KIA Soul. It came with about 14,500 miles on it and I added 220 during the week I had it. Pretty nice little car and great for jumping between the hotel and MARTA park & ride every day during my stay. A/C worked wonderfully as well so that was a nice perk.
Pardon the terrible photo, I had meant to take a better photo of this but forgot to take another one.

Pioneer Methodist Church erected here in 1857. Demolished in 1874. Replaced by buildings at Prospect Hill and Bulls Creek.”

“The anniversary sermons of the Spring Grove Wesleyan Chapel were preached on Sunday last by the Rev. J. Nicholson.. On Monday, after tea, Mr. Carr, M.P., presided, and, with the Rev. J. Nicholson, Messrs. A. Harper and G. Griggs, spoke. It was explained that it had been decided to amalgamate the congregation worshipping at Spring Grove and Mount Ephraim by building a large and commodious chapel in a central position.” [Register 2 May 1873]
“The Committee had besides subscribing carted all the material, including stones from the quarry, sand from the pit, slates from Willunga, timber from the city, &c., work amounting in value to £57 11s. 6d. The Rev. M. Wilson congratulated the meeting upon the erection of a neat and commodious place of worship in an old circuit where he had laboured.” Register 2 Jan 1874]
“Mr. W. Griggs . . . compiling a complete and correct record of the burials in the Mt. Ephriam [sic] Cemetery, and of marking of graves, also erecting of a tablet, recording the history of the pioneer Methodist Church on this spot. . . It was reported to the meeting that vandals had broken a headstone and pulled down a wooden cross from graves in the old cemetery.” [Southern Argus 10 Aug 1950]
“In the earlier days, religious services were held in the homes of the pioneers, then a small structure was erected on the range road and known as Mount Ephriam [sic]. Here, today, in the burial ground stand several monuments to departed pioneers. . . The present pulpit [in Prospect Hill church] came from Mount Ephraim church when that was closed.” [Mount Barker Courier 2 Dec 1943]

Designed by Sir Alexander Binnie and constructed by Cochrane & Sons for the London County Council (L.C.C.).
Work began on the tunnel in June 1899 which led under the River Thames between Greenwich Pier and the Isle of Dogs and London's Docklands, comprising the areas of Millwall and Poplar.
The project replaced the ferry service which proved to be expensive and was very unreliable.
The tunnel opened in August 1902 and was 1,215ft long and 50ft deep, with glazed domes covering the entrances / exits. Helical staircases lead down to the walkway and by 1904 two elevators were added.
The elevators were upgraded in 1992 and lastly in 2012.
Many tourists frequently use the tunnel to cross from Greenwich to Island Gardens, where the photographers among them, can take panoramic pictures of the Royal Naval College.
