For the 9th year in a row, American Airlines donated a special 757 chartered aircraft to bring 140 wounded ill or injured service members and a guest to Las Vegas.
Activities included a heroes welcome at the Mirage which was our home for the weekend. From there our guests enjoyed the Secret Garden at the Mirage, the shark reef at Mandalay Bay, a private dinner with Gary Sinise at Bubba Gump Shrimp Factory, an amazing concert with Phil Vandel opening and then Gary Sinise and the Lt. Dan Band on Fremont Street!
Sunday our nations heroes flew up and down the Las Vegas Strip thanks to Sundance Helicopters, and then enjoyed an amazing meal at Chef Robert Irvine's Public House Restaurant. Then master magician, Criss Angel, put on an amazing show at the Luxor for everyone. After the show, Criss spent some very special time with our warriors answering questions, and just having fun.
Wounded heroes also enjoyed a tour of Hover Dam, and a great Dinner at the Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. And of course our dear friend and supporter of all who serve, Terry Fator put on an amazing show for everyone!
The final day included a wonderful brunch at the Luxor before heading back on our donated American Airlines charter and the all volunteer flight crew who took such good care of everyone all weekend long!
A huge thank you to all those who volunteered their time and resources to make this weekend possible!
I think it dates from the 1920's. Or maybe it is even older.
Despertador antic. Crec que data del 1920. O potser encara és més vell.
Detail of the longcase clock at my grandparents' house.
It always looked funny to me the roman number 4 as IIII (instead of IV), but seems common in clock dials.
A trip up to near the Canadian border to collect some trees for our garden lead me to Fairhaven on my way back for lunch. A nice little touristy place south of Bellingham. It had a clock....

I'm making Steampunk-style paper horses using the templates by Artist Ann Wood for the Fourth Annual Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat coming up in Waxahachie, TX, June 9-11, 2011.
I made this antique, vintage-style clock face by scanning a finding, then darkening the edges in Photoshop.
Feel free to use this in all your own work--I copied it several times and made a template so I could make "clockworks" for my paper ponies' legs.
Just don't redistribute the original as your own work! T4L-agree.

Vion A80 Marine Clock with four Silence Zones. The silence zones indicate that for 3 minutes after the hour, the half hour and each quarter, radio silence should be maintained in order that any distress calls can clearly be heard by the emergency services.
The Astronomical Clock at Bracken House, Cannon Street, London.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes (the original) Bracken House unique is the attention to detail and quality of material: the oak-leaf decoration around the main Cannon Street entrance, the lantern, the boxed-out bronze oriel windows with the free-standing ‘Egyptian’ columns, also made of bronze, and of course, the astronomical clock. It was designed in 1959 in gilt metal and enamel and shows Roman numerals, the months, and the signs of the zodiac, with the sun in the centre. The original design was even more elaborate and framed by Atlas figures, but they were lost in the final execution. A drawing of the first design was shown at the 1955 Royal Academy Exhibition by Albert Richardson himself, who was at the time President to the Academy. The zodiac signs have been ascribed to Frank Dobson and the face (as well as the oak-leaf mouldings around the door) is the work of Phillip Bentham.(4) And yes, the face in the sun does resemble Winston Churchill, a tribute to him as Bracken‘s personal friend.
Bracken House was built in the second half of the 1950s to house the Financial Times and named after Brendan Bracken (1901-1958), the former chairman of the paper. The building was designed by Bracken’s friend Sir Albert Richardson (1880-1964) who deliberately made use of pink brick and Hollington sandstone to reflect the colour of the newspaper. The design was “a curious mixture of Italian Renaissance and Swedish twentieth-century neo-classical elements”.(1) It consisted of two separate elevations, one on Cannon Street and one on Queen Victoria Street with the utilitarian printing works in between. Because the site was not exactly rectangular or square and because Distaff Lane and Friday Street on either side of the building slope down towards the river, not to mention the existence of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey in the southwest corner, the two elevations do not align properly and the 24 floor levels inside were ‘complicated’ to say the least.

The Great Clock was installed on Marshall Field’s State Street Store on November 26, 1897. Marshall Field envisioned his great clock as a beacon that could be seen for miles and attract crowds to his store which he saw as a meeting place.
A closer view of Brighton’s Clock Tower that commemorates Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee of 1887. Her wayward son Bertie is depicted on the panel. He was to become King Edward VII in 1901. The cables spreading out from the Tower hold lights that illuminate the scene at night.

KINGS HEAD CLOCK
This Clock Originally stood outside the Kings Head Public House, Hagley Road, and was removed for road widening in 1971
It was renovated, fitted with new electric clock mechanism and erected on this site by the City engineers department on 1st April 1979.
The maker of the original clockwork drive unit was Arthur Walker (1871-1948) who carried out his trade as a clockmaker from 1900 at 31A Vere Street (now demolished). His gear cutting machine and other accessories are kept at the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, Newhall Street.(*)
The cast iron components which include the column, turret and crown were made by J and A Law Ironfounders, Glasgow.
The base of the column also served as a horse trough, dog drinking bowl (at ground level) and a supply of water for public use.
The clock faces were originally gas lit and it was necessary to hand wind the clock once a week
TEMPUS FUGIT
*Now also demolished - Not sure if they are on display at the Thinktank or not....

Inspired by the cyclops watch from Mr Jones Watches (http://mrjoneswatches.com/html/cyclops.html) I set out to create my own prototype.
Using a cheap IKEA clock, I printed a new face and taped it over the old one.
The colours were chosen using the In Rainbows equation to convert a string to an md5 hash, then take the first 6 hex digits. Those are the values for "01:00", "01:30", ..., "12:00", "12:30". I don't think I would personally choose those values, but I went with them anyway to see how they look.
I like the idea of waking-up at about royal blue o'clock.
El reloj público de San Fernando de Montecristi, es el símbolo de esta ciudad, fue construido por una iniciativa del venezolano Benigno Daniel Conde, quien recolectó los fondos para su adquisición. Fabricado en Francia por el relojero Jean Paul Garnier, alcanza los 96 pies (30 metros). Inicialmente funciono en la ciudad francesa de Saint- Germain-en-Laye. Una vez llegado por vía marítima a dominicana, fue trasportado en tranvía hasta su lugar original, el Parque Duarte (antigua Plaza de Armas), donde fue instalado el 11 de marzo de 1895, siendo inaugurado el 29 de junio de ese año. En las celebraciones de su inauguración estuvieron presentes el generalísimo dominicano Máximo Gómez y el apóstol cubano José Martí, quien expresó: "Este reloj marcará muy pronto la hora de redención de Cuba". | Datos de Montecristi LIVE.

The public clock of San Fernando de Montecristi, is the symbol of this city, was built by an initiative of the Venezuelan Benigno Daniel Conde, who collected funds for purchase. Made in France by the clockmaker Jean Paul Garnier, reaches 96 feet (30 meters). It initially worked in the French town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Once arrived by sea at Dominican Republic, it was transported by tram to its original place, the Parque Duarte (former Plaza de Armas), where it was installed on March 11, 1895 and inaugurated on June 29 of that year. To its inauguration celebrations attended Dominican Generalissimo Máximo Gómez and José Martí, Cuban Apostle, who said: "This clock will soon mark Cuba redemption." | Data from Montecristi LIVE.
Back in March 2004 (hey, 8 years ago), we were diagnosing the first failures of the stepper-driven clock face. Clock faces (like this one) are NOT designed to be laid flat and be stomped on! It makes the hands rattle and strike each other.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA
A work in progress, this device uses a 3" cathode ray tube to display the current time. Each letter is built up from individual line segments. Anode voltage is roughly 1200V, and the entire clock runs from a 5VDC power supply.
One of the more fantastic aspects of being in New York, is the ability to take the train or subway across to Hoboken, New Jersey. Home of TLC's "Cake Boss" and Carlo's bakery. We took the path train under the Hudson River over to Hoboken, and walked around. While the line to actually get in the bakery was longer than the lines at the airport, it was really fun to see the bakery that I see on TV all the time. I loved this clock right outside of Hoboken City Hall.
