Here I've added the driver transistors and their base resistors.
Soldering these little guys is actually kind of fun. I used to fear the surface-mount components, and still do with some of the really tiny stuff, but overall it's easier than soldering the through-hole components and requires a lot less drilling. The biggest hurdle is that you pretty much have to make a printed circuit board to use them (though I have seen projects by some brave souls who wire them point-to-point).
I mean, I managed to solder these 26 transistors this morning while my hands were really shaky - I shouldn't take stuff like this on until after I've eaten breakfast, I guess.
I use the trick recommended on this page (in the white box toward the bottom) except I use tweezers. Melt a tiny blob of solder on one pad, then take the component up in the tweezers and press the appropriate lead onto the solder blob and re-melt it. That tacks the part in place and you can then solder the other leads really easily.
Once again, I've mostly blobbily oversoldered, but I can live with it.
The Colgate factory has closed up but left behind this huge clock on top of the main building. It still lights up at night and is easily visible from Louisville.
The top angle of the same flower I showed previously.
I don't have a good shot of the fully-opened flower yet, but you can see it here (drora's photostream):

The flowers of this very interesting plant, Capparis spinosa, are starting to open in the afternoon (shown here). Only half an hour before dusk they are fully opened and are visited by bees. In the night, their white color and pleasant smell attracts Hawk moths. The flowers last only till the next afternoon, and after 24 hours, they wither.
The stems of Capparis spinosa are covered with curved thorns, bent inwards. It’s easy to put your hand inside, but make yourself a stock of plasters ready if you wish to pull it out…
The unopened buds are very good as pickles! I did it myself, they are very good :-)

A self portrait I shot to use as cover art for my upcoming single. artists.landr.com/055905317357
Lighting:
To capture a reflection, the intended source has to be well lit. I started by aiming 2 flashes where my face would be. The flashes were positioned in front of the clock so the light would not spill onto it. The left flash had a 7 inch reflector+grid. The right flash had a round head (approx 2.5")+barndoors.
To light the rest of the clock I added a flash+softbox behind it on the left, a reflector on the right and another reflector right under the camera.
236/365 - 24 August 2013 - Standard Triumph Clock
This clock spent it's working life in the reception hall at the factory in Coventry.
This was shot for my advanced lighting class. Simple rimlight example. Softbox behind subject, a black card in-between subject and softbox. Red gel blasted on black card.

Studio Clock in the TV studio that is at the top of the National Media Museum in Bradford.
The TV studio was once used by TVAM as a regional news studio, and now is used for various youth projects.

I enjoy crab legs and lobster tail, but man, they are way too messy and complicated to eat. Had that for dinner tonight, and they were also covered in sauce, and I just sort of got sauce everywhere, and it was tasty but stressful. If I ever do that again, I'm gonna do it at home so I can just take off my shirt and really get into it, then shower afterwards. That seems the best way to do it.
The hours on the public clock on the facade spell out the name of the developer; the plaque below reads:
Erected to the memory of
Stephen Edward Howse
1872-1941
Founder of Elms Parade 1937
The clock icon. I try to make the around steel matterial and glass on clock face.I think I have to learn how to use matterial with illustrator.
Built on Eastgate, part of Chester's city walls, the Eastgate Clock was erected to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. It has been described as the second most photographed timepiece in the UK after Big Ben. When it was unveiled in 1899 it was not universally popular, some locals thought it too garish and many wanted a statue of the Queen instead.
The Zytglogge, or clock tower, in Bern, Switzerland was built in the 13th century and includes a 15th-century astronomical clock.

This morning I accidentally went to work when I wasn't scheduled to! I usually only bring my camera at the end of the week but in an attempt to use it more I brought it with me today. I figured to not make a wasted trip of it so I took some photos.
I couldn't tell you how many times I've taken photos of the famous Clock Tower downtown; so I decided to mix it up a bit and gave it a faded film look.
The actual clock mentioned in the book, Louise: Louise Klassen Matson's Flight to Freedom (from Russia) as told to Margaret Anderson. This heirloom was taken with the family as they escaped from Russia in the 1920's. It was to be used to sell for emergency money should the need arise. Fortunately it didn't and survives to this day!
Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore,
Florence, Italy
The clock above the main door inside the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, or the Duomo, as it is better known in Florence, is the only one of its kind in working order anywhere in the world. To the modern eye, it looks positively bizarre. At its centre, a golden star decorates the blue disc of the clock’s face, whilst the heads of what are believed to be the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are encircled at each corner of the dial’s square frame.
The clock has only one hand, running anti-clockwise from the Roman numeral XXIIII at the bottom, which does not indicate midnight. The clock, in fact, registers the ora italica (‘Italian time’), also known as Bohemian time or Julian time, after Julius Caesar’s 46 CE calendar, which began at sunset and ended at sunset.
Thanks to Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists, we know that Paolo di Dono (1397–1475), nicknamed ‘Uccello’ because of his love of strange animals and, in particular, birds, was paid 40 lire in February 1443 when he completed frescoing the face of the clock, which is almost 2 meters in diameter and situated 15 meters off the ground. Obsessed as he was with perspective, in this the second of the works this solitary and eccentric painter from Pratovecchio was commissioned to do in the Duomo, Uccello merged light and shadows on each of the prophets’ faces, making the viewer think that light is streaming in from a window (that, in reality, does not exist), high up on the wall to the left of the clock.
Due to its delicacy, the mechanism has required numerous interventions over the years, including a 17th-century addition: a pendulum based on the studies of Italian physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei and Dutch mathematician and horologist Christiaan Huygens. During the 15th and 16th centuries, the Transalpine, French or Gregorian system for measuring time was widely used in Northern Europe. Time was measured in units of 12: midnight to noon (ante meridiem) and noon to midnight (post meridiem). The hours were usually represented in Roman numerals and the hands pointing to them operated a left-to-right (or clockwise) movement. This analog system gradually became established as a standard, further reinforced by the spread of mechanical clocks that did not require continuous maintenance.
But Tuscany was not eager to adopt the analog system. Such was the resistance that, in 1749, Grand Duke Francesco Stefano published an edict enforcing this imported method for calculating time and threatening severe punishment to anyone who failed to adopt it. Therefore, during restoration of the mechanism in 1761, Uccello’s clock face was covered by a new 12-hour version. During this modification, the clock’s original gilded copper hand crafted by the artist also disappeared and a new one was made in the shape of a shooting star. Although the original hand was never recovered, in 1973, after a five-year restoration, Uccello’s clock face is again visible and keeping ora italica.
This clock was a retirement gift for my Mom. The owner of the Master Tool and Mold asked me to create this for her as gift from the company. The gold bricks for the face are from Chrome Block City and the chrome silver engraved tiles for the numbers from Bricks4all. The clock mecanism is of course not LEGO but does play Westminster Chimes.
I've never created a clock before so I was a bit nervouse about how this would turn out. My Mom loved it though, as did every one else at the retirement party so I guess I did well on this one.
Visit to the Crawford Auto-Aviation Collection at the Western Reserve Historical Society in Cleveland, Ohio on March 17, 2013. This is an excellent collection of historic cars as well as a few airplanes. I didn't see any information about this rather old propeller, but it has several autographs (one can be glimpsed
at the right edge) on the blades and this clock in the center.
The shot was taken through glass.
The beast: I want to do something for her... But what?
Cogsworth: Well, there's the usual things: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...
