The McGill lineup during their game against Concordia.
Not so sure why, but this looks like a strong photograph to me. Is it because of the compression at 300mm that give the impression of a really tight group of players ? Anyways, I hope you'll like it too.
I'm guessing they service small cars only. On Gerrard street east of Main. The exterior is coloured about the same as well chewed grape gum; and in fact it looks like it might be made from the stuff.
Porto kent twee belangrijke stations: Porto São Bento en Porto Campanhā. São Bento is een kopstation dat in het historisch centrum van Porto ligt. Ondanks dat er veel treinen vertrekken en aankomen is São Bento een zeer compact station met slechts zes perronsporen. Het station is slechts via een dubbelsporige tunnel onder de stad te bereiken. De tunnel is ook op de foto te zien.
São Bento wordt voornamelijk bediend door de treindiensten van het voorstadsnet van Porto. Dit zijn allemaal treinstellen. Treinstellen zijn uitermate geschikt voor de diensten op São Bento, waar vanwege de krappe infrastructuur kort keren een vereiste is. Daarnaast telde São Bento in 2014 negen Interregionale treinen per dag richting de Dourovallei en één Interregionale trein per dag naar Valença.
Van de Interregionale treinen richting het Dourodal wordt een deel klassiek getrokken door een locomotief. Dat is ook het geval met de ene Interregionale trein naar Valença. De getrokken treinen moeten eerst - met locomotief en al - achterstevoren door een andere locomotief vanaf het opstelterrein nabij Porto Campanhā door de tunnel naar São Bento gesleept worden, waarna - na het afkoppelen van de sleeplocomotief - de trein in omgekeerde richting met reizigers kan vertrekken. Kort daarna kan de sleeplocomotief via de tunnel naar het opstelterrein van Campanhā terug keren. Getrokken treinen die eindigen op São Bento kennen een vergelijkbare procedure.
In 2024 werd de tractie van de Interregionale treinen tussen Porto en Valença, alsmede de sleepdiensten tussen Campanhā en São Bento verzorgt door de fraaie locomotieven van de Portugeese serie 2600. De serie 2600 maakt deel uit van de inconische familie van zogenaamde Nez Cassé- locomotieven. De Nez Cassés zijn diesel- en electrische locomotieven van de Franse firma Alsthom. De eerste locomotieven uit de Nez Cassé-familie waren de prestigieuze sneltreinlocomotieven van de serie CC 40100 die ontworpen waren voor het op hoge snelheid rijden van lange TEE-treinen door West-Europa. Deze locomotieven verlieten in 1964 de fabriek van Alsthom in Belfort. Daarna volgden nog vijf series van electrische Nez-Cassé-locomotieven en één serie van Nez-Cassé-diesellocomotieven. De laatste Nez Cassé verliet in 1986 de poorten van de fabriek.
De Portugeese serie 2600 is afgeleid van de Franse serie BB 15000; vier-assige locomotieven geschikt voor een stroomsterkte van 25kV. De eerste deelserie van 12 locomotieven is gebouwd in Belfort (F). De tweede deelserie van 9 locomotieven is onder licencie gebouwd door de firma Sorefame uit Amadora (PL).
In 2012 gingen de laatste rijvaardige 2600’en buiten dienst. Men had niet kunnen hopen dat de locomotieven ooit weer op de baan zouden komen. Een uitbreidingsplan voor de Portugese spoorwegen uit 2019 voorzag echter in het opnieuw in gebruik nemen van een groot deel van de serie 2600. In het voorjaar van 2024 waren er ongeveer 10 locomotieven van de serie 2600 weer in dienst.
De foto toont het vertrek uit Porto van de Interregionale trein naar Valença. De trein komt zojuist uit de tunnel dat toegang geeft tot station van Porto São Bento en passeert hier met de een gangetje van 60 km/uur de wijk Fontaínhas. De trein is klassiek samengesteld uit locomotief CP 2609 uit het jaar 1974 en drie zogenaamde Arco-rijtuigen uit de jaren '80, welke overgenomen zijn van de Spaanse spoorwegen en door de Portugeese spoorwegen vanaf 2022 grondig zijn gemoderniseerd.
Ook klassiek is het fotomotief bij het verlaten van de tunnel met de huizenrij van Fontaínhas op de achtergrond. Het is een must-have voor de vele treinenliefhebbers die op dit moment de treinen met de serie 2600 en de getrokken treinen naar het Dourodal hier willen vereeuwigen.

That sharp wedge plate has odd dimensions being 3.5 studs long, and I was curious as to what it could be meshed with on a standard grid. The humble pentagonal tile was the answer, and the circular tile was the cherry on top (well, bottom). The result is this modern looking coupe - short wheelbase with the usual touch of angry styling.
Pocket cutter, which could be used by engineers for the opening of something not very massive. Possible the narrowing of the beam in one spot for more precise operations.
Just finished Dead Space and Dead Space 2, it was AWESOME! Very liked it, now it's my second favorite franchise after Mass Effect. Scary in some moments, but still dynamic and awesome. Cant wait for DS3.
And I hope the Severed DLC will port on PC.
Comments and fan-emotions from Dead Space would be cool.
P.S.: Which moment in DS2 was most *SCARY!1* for you? For me it was a sun on a school scene. I shoot it off from it's place (nervous, yup) and killed 2 monsters with it and with *WAAAAAAAGH* :3

In the fabulous Gloucester cathedral cloisters I had taken one handheld shot to the left with my compact Canon G6 and another to the right, then as an afterthought took one in the centre. Back at the ranch I wondered if they would merge . . .
Some Hogwarts corridor scenes in the Harry Potter films are shot in these cloisters.
The cloisters at Gloucester Cathedral are the earliest surviving fan vaults, apparently designed between 1351 and 1377 by Thomas de Cambridge.
Originally built to house the monks, the cloisters provided space for them to live, work and meditate. In many abbeys, the cloisters were traditionally built on the south side, but at Gloucester, it unusually lies on the north.
Using the normal Benedictine layout, all of the domestic buildings would have originally branched off three of the cloister walks.
Begun in the late 14th century and finished by Abbot Froucester before 1412, it replaced an earlier Norman cloister.
The design itself incorporates a row of twenty carrels (niche like spaces), which would have originally houses desks for the monks to study. The Cloister also includes a lavatorium, (washing place) which would have made use of a local stream.
As I was looking around on Flickr I saw a trash compactor shot, I decided to give it a try came out with this. I'm really happy with it and thought it was pretty accurate to the film.
Hope you like it! :D
The Leica mini (early 1990s) has a fixed 35mm f3.5 lens. The Nikon One Touch Zoom 90 AF has a slower 38-90mm and is from the very end of the mass market film camera era in the early 2000s
This is the Compact version of the Behringer X32 mixing desk in St. Georges Theatre, Great Yarmouth.
results of some extra work around the house.

I didn't know drops of water have dents.

Too little sunlight and poor processing of jpg.
Compact and rugged, the OR-117a provides a fairly versatile platform for all your carbine-related needs. Unlike most modern rifles, the OR-117a is top-ejecting. While this does limit the available rail space, it more than makes up for it with easy maintenance and cleaning.
Despite the exposed action, the OR-117a isn't hindered by dirt and debris; making it an excellent choice for desert and jungle operations.

I 0.6'd and I accidentally a whole thing. Props to you guys who only 0.6, that shit's hard.
My kids have remote control helicopters that look kind of like this, with much shorter, wider rotor blades than a typical full-size helicopter. It allows for a smaller overall size for the aircraft, which makes it easier to maneuver and land. I don't know if it's a practical design for a full-size chopper, but I wanted to make one in Lego anyway.
Also on display is a bunch of stuff I picked up at Brickfair. I think the minifig cat miniguns I got from MBW work great with Chris' drones because of their larger size relative to minifigs. I also love the eclipseGrafx torsos and Brickarms pulse rifles I got from contributing to the Cyberpocalypse collaboration. Thanks Vic and Will!
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have teamed up to identify a new possible example of a rare class of black holes. Called NGC 6099 HLX-1, this bright X-ray source seems to reside in a compact star cluster in a giant elliptical galaxy.
Just a few years after its 1990 launch, Hubble discovered that galaxies throughout the universe can contain supermassive black holes at their centers weighing millions or billions of times the mass of our Sun. In addition, galaxies also contain as many as millions of small black holes weighing less than 100 times the mass of the Sun. These form when massive stars reach the end of their lives.
Far more elusive are intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), weighing between a few hundred to a few 100,000 times the mass of our Sun. This not-too-big, not-too-small category of black holes is often invisible to us because IMBHs don’t gobble as much gas and stars as the supermassive ones, which would emit powerful radiation. They have to be caught in the act of foraging in order to be found. When they occasionally devour a hapless bypassing star — in what astronomers call a tidal disruption event— they pour out a gusher of radiation.
The newest probable IMBH, caught snacking in telescope data, is located on the galaxy NGC 6099’s outskirts at approximately 40,000 light-years from the galaxy’s center, as described in a new study in the Astrophysical Journal. The galaxy is located about 450 million light-years away in the constellation Hercules.
