Mmmm... salad. That's spinach, blue cheese, walnuts, and strawberries. The ingredients for DELICIOUSNESS.
Different from my usual shallow-depth-of-field, shallow-angle food photos.
I'm not sure what it is, but I'm not happy with this photo. There's something not quite there and I can't figure out what. It's good enough to post I guess.
I'd like to be able to keep the ability of the gun to break down, but not sure if I'll have time to engineer that into the design
here's our first attempt at an overview of junto philosophy and components. still needs some unpacking. comments/suggestions welcome!
Belgian Land Component Piranha IIIC RECOVERY of the Bataillon de Chasseurs Ardennais/Bataljon Ardense Jagers, Paris, July 14, 2018.
AIRBUS A400M "ATLAS" (C/N: 116) BELGIAN AIR COMPONENT (CT-05) / AEROPUERTO DE SEVILLA (LEZL) ESPAÑA-SPAIN / VUELO DE ENTREGA
1913 postmarked postcard view of Chestnut Street in Seymour, Indiana. This view was looking northwest from the St. Louis Avenue intersection toward the businesses on the west side of Chestnut Street. The B. & O. SW (Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern) Railroad ran along St. Louis Avenue, but isn’t visible in this scene.
The building on the northwest corner at St Louis Avenue has been restored and is still in use. In this scene, the awning advertised J. G. LAUPUS — JEWELER. The ad on the side of the building identified Mr. Laupus as a DEALER IN WATCHES, CLOCKS, SILVERWARE and SPECTACLES. The sign also advertised WATCHES REPAIRED. Mr. Laupus was listed in a 1912 Jackson County directory¹ as a jeweler doing business at 1 North Chestnut Street. The 1907 and 1913 Sanborn™ fire insurance map sets show a jewelry business at that address, but the street address numbering system has since changed. The address at that location today is 101 North Chestnut Street. The location of a dentist’s office was advertised by the DENTIST sign painted on an upstairs window. The Jackson County directory listed T. H. Casey as the dentist at 1½ North Chestnut Street.
Next door (3 North Chestnut Street), the sign advertised the THOMAS CLOTHING CO. This business was listed in the directory with J. W. Conner as the business manager. Both map sets show a clothing store at this location and show the K. of P. Hall on the second and third floors of the building. The next building to the north (5 North Chestnut Street) was vacant when the 1907 map set was being prepared, but the 1913 map set shows a “pictures store.” The 1912 directory listed BENNETT’S BAZAAR at this address under the “NOVELTY STORES” category. Their advertisement in the directory listed items such as queensware, notions, underwear and dry goods for sale.
The business listed in the directory at 7 North Chestnut was Minnie Hustedt’s millinery business. Both map sets show a millinery business at this address. The business at 9 North Chestnut was identified as a bank in both map sets. The directory listed the Jackson County Loan and Trust business at this address.
The three-story building in the middle of the block (11 and 13 North Chestnut Street) was the home of THE GOLD MINE DEPARTMENT STORE according to the sign on the front of the building. Both Sanborn™ map sets identified the business as the “Gold Mine Gen’l S.” The 1912 directory listed the business under “DEPARTMENT STORES,” “FURNITURE STORES” and “MILLINERS.” The sign hanging above the sidewalk advertised JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE NOW ON. Farther up the street, another sign advertised a REDUCTION SALE, but it is unclear what business that sign was associated with.
At Second Street, on the northwest corner (102 West Second Street), the sign advertised PEOPLES GR_____. Both map sets show a grocery at that location. The directory listed The People’s Grocery at Second and Chestnut Streets without providing a specific address. L. L. Bollinger was listed as the proprietor.

The Ford Motor Company is an American multinational corporation based in Dearborn, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. The automaker was founded by Henry Ford and incorporated on June 16, 1903. In addition to the Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury brands, Ford also owns Volvo Cars of Sweden, and a small stake in Mazda of Japan and Aston Martin of England. Ford's former UK subsidiaries Jaguar and Land Rover were sold to Tata Motors of India in March 2008.
Ford introduced methods for large-scale manufacturing of cars and large-scale management of an industrial workforce using elaborately engineered manufacturing sequences typified by moving assembly lines. Henry Ford's methods came to be known around the world as Fordism by 1914.
The Ford GT40 was a high performance sports car and winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans four times in a row, from 1966 to 1969 (in 1967 with a different body, though). It was built to win long-distance sports car races against Ferrari (who won at Le Mans six times in a row from 1960 to 1965). That car used the Gurney Weslake engine with the special alloy heads made by Weslake.
The car was named the GT (for Grand Touring) with the 40 representing its overall height of 40 inches (1.02 m, measured at the windshield) as required by the rules. Large displacement Ford V8 engines (4.7 L and 7 L) were used, compared with the Ferrari V12 which displaced 3.0 L or 4.0 L.
Early cars were simply named "Ford GT". The name "GT40" was the name of Ford's project to prepare the cars for the international endurance racing circuit, and the quest to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The first 12 "prototype" vehicles carried serial numbers GT-101 through GT-112. The "production" began and the subsequent cars, the MkI, MkIIs, MkIIIs, and MkIVs, numbered GT40P/1000 through GT40P/1145, were officially "GT40s". The name of Ford's project, and the serial numbers dispel the story that "GT40" was "only a nickname.“
The Ford GT90 was a concept car manufactured by the Ford Motor Company. It was unveiled in January 1995 at the Detroit Auto Show as "the world's mightiest supercar". Claimed performance included a top speed 253 mph (409 km/h) from a 720 hp (537 kW) quad-turbocharged V12 engine, the exhaust of which was claimed to be hot enough to damage the body panels, requiring ceramic tiles similar to those on the space shuttle to prevent this.
The mid-engined car was a spiritual successor to the Ford GT40, taking from it some styling cues, such as doors that cut into the roofline, but little else. All angles and glass, the Ford GT90 was the first Ford to display the company's "New Edge" design philosophy. The GT90 was built around a honeycomb-section aluminum monocoque and its body panels were moulded from carbon fiber.
The GT90 was built by a small team in just over six months and, as a result, borrowed many components from another high profile stablemate—the Jaguar XJ220. The all-round double wishbone suspension and the five-speed manual gearbox came from the Jaguar, while the engine was a siamesed 4.6L DOHC V8 block (from the Lincoln Mark VIII) with 2 cylinders cut off.
The GT90's 48-valve V12 was a six-litre engine which, if Ford had ever produced it in volume, might have produced up to 720 hp (537 kW), thanks to four Garrett AiResearch T2 turbochargers. The engine was based on the Ford Modular engine. Two Lincoln V8 engines each had portions removed, namely the last pair of cylinders from the rear of one engine and the first pair of cylinders from the front of the other engine and the cut down engines were welded together. In total, this yielded a 90-degree V12, with 90.2 mm bore and 77.3 mm stroke.
Jacques Nasser, then a Ford executive and eventually CEO, was very proud of the car, and kept a model of it on his desk, as seen in a documentary on the U.K. television network Channel 4 on the Firestone tire incidents.
In the Top Gear episode first broadcast on October 26, 2003, Jeremy Clarkson stated "I actually drove this and it was horrid. It had a top speed of 40 (mph) and it handled like it was in a cartoon".
The front element of the lens (bottom left) has a huge aperture and has a sweet spot of focus. The two smaller components appear to be three-element "anastigmat" focussing sections.

Lieutenant General Halbauer hosted several high positioned guests at Rena, Norway, Sept. 22, 2014. Among the very international invitees: ambassadors, generals, local mayors, and the Norwegian Secretary of State of the Department of Defense, mr BØ.
The distinguished visitors were informed about Exercise Noble Justification, the certification of HQ 1 GE/NL corps as Land Component Command NRF 2015, and about the multinational Immediate Response Forces brigade that is still in the field.
The guests were even able to take a look at an actual operation that was executed. At Rena Airfield a Tactical Air Landing Operation was visible: a C130 Hercules rapidly picked up infantry of the NLD 11th Brigade.

Hacker (hobbyist)
In home computing, a hacker is someone who modifies software or hardware of their own private computer system. It includes building, rebuilding, modifying, and creating software (software cracking, demoscene), electronic hardware (hardware hacking, overclocking, modding), either to make it better, faster, to give it added features or to make it do something it was not originally intended to do. Hacking in this sense originated around hobbyist circles discussing the MITS Altair at the homebrew computer club.
Hacker artists[edit]
See also: Fractal art, algorithmic art and interactive art
Hacker artists create art by hacking on technology as an artistic medium. This has extended the definition of the term and what it means to be a hacker. Such artists may work with graphics, computer hardware, sculpture, music and other audio, animation, video, software, simulations, mathematics, reactive sensory systems, text, poetry, literature, or any combination thereof.
Dartmouth College musician Larry Polansky states: "Technology and art are inextricably related. Many musicians, video artists, graphic artists, and even poets who work with technology—whether designing it or using it—consider themselves to be part of the 'hacker community.' Computer artists, like non-art hackers, often find themselves on society’s fringes, developing strange, innovative uses of existing technology. There is an empathetic relationship between those, for example, who design experimental music software and hackers who write communications freeware." [3]
Another description is offered by Jenny Marketou: "Hacker artists operate as culture hackers who manipulate existing techno-semiotic structures towards a different end, to get inside cultural systems on the net and make them do things they were never intended to do." [4]
A successful software and hardware hacker artist is Mark Lottor (mkl), who has created the 3-D light art projects entitled the Cubatron, and the Big Round Cubatron. This art is made using custom computer technology, with specially designed circuit boards and programming for microprocessor chips to manipulate the LED lights.
Don Hopkins is a software hacker artist well known for his artistic cellular automata. This art, created by a cellular automata computer program, generates objects which randomly bump into each other and in turn create more objects and designs, similar to a lava lamp, except that the parts change color and form through interaction. Says Hopkins, "Cellular automata are simple rules that are applied to a grid of cells, or the pixel values of an image. The same rule is applied to every cell, to determine its next state, based on the previous state of that cell and its neighboring cells. There are many interesting cellular automata rules, and they all look very different, with amazing animated dynamic effects. 'Life' is a widely known cellular automata rule, but many other lesser known rules are much more interesting."
Some hacker artists create art by writing computer code, and others, by developing hardware. Some create with existing software tools such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
The creative process of hacker artists can be more abstract than artists using non-technological media. For example, mathematicians have produced visually stunning graphic presentations of fractals, which hackers have further enhanced, often producing detailed and intricate graphics and animations from simple mathematical formulas.

One of the biggest and best Veterans Day parades this area has ever seen. More than 100 units with multiple components signed up to march or perform during this year's annual parade, hosted by the Hampton Roads Council of Veterans Organizations (HRCVO). The parade started at 9 a.m. at 16th Street and Atlantic Avenue, and ended at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial at 19th Street, across from the Virginia Beach Convention Center.
This year's Grand Marshal is CPL Johnny Johnson, USMC (Ret.) and MR1 William T. Jones, Jr., USN (Ret.) is this year's Co-Marshal. The parade will include, among others: Marching bands from the U. S. Army Training & Doctrine Command at Fort Eustis, Bayside, Green Run, Kellam, Landstown, Ocean Lakes, Salem and Tallwood High Schools, Honor Guards and/or Motorcycle and Mounted Units from Chesapeake, Portsmouth and Virginia Beach Police Departments and the Virginia Beach Sheriff's Office.
This year's parade is co-sponsored by the La Societe des Quarante Hommes et Huit Chevaux (40 & 8) Voiture Locale 86). It will include military units from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force that represent military installations across the region. Veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Desert Shield, Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom will participate, as well as several Tidewater municipal and veterans support organizations, including Naval Junior ROTC Units and Boy Scout and Girl Scout Troops.
The Veterans Day Parade is sanctioned by the Department of Veterans Affairs National Veterans Day Committee and the Mayors of Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach who signed the Veterans Day Proclamation resolving that "citizens, businesses and organizations demonstrate due appreciation, admiration and respect for all veterans who have served our great nation."
Immediately following the parade, a formal ceremony was held at the Tidewater Veterans Memorial. This service included military and civilian honors to the Veterans. Afterwards, there was a luncheon at the DoubleTree Hotel.

Grand Canyon National Park is working with area tribes and art experts to restore the Fred Kabotie murals and the rock art images, painted by Fred Geary, which have been damaged by water. The first phase of the project is being funded through a grant from American Express obtained by Grand Canyon Association.This grant will help with the evaluation, documentation and testing process that is a critical component of all historic preservation projects. The park intends to preserve the murals while remaining true to Mary Colter’s design. Over the next year, a conservation specialist will analyze and restore the murals with the help of students participating in an intern training program.
Originally the Watchtower was designed as a space where visitors could see Native American craft demonstrations by weavers and basket makers. The park has brought American Indian artists back into the space to share tribal traditions, dances, songs, skills, art and oral histories with the public. The park is also considering turning the old Desert View visitor center into a Native American cultural center.The transformation of the Watchtower back to its original intent is already proving to be a dramatic experience for visitors and park staff.

A C-130 lands in Rena, Norway during Exercise Noble Justification Sept. 22, 2014. Exercise Noble Justification is the certification of HQ 1 GE/NL corps as Land Component Command NRF 2015, and about the multinational Immediate Response Forces brigade that is still in the field.
For those of you who are interested in the 'bits', here are a selection of the key parts.
Not a complete rundown by covers the main mechanicals and load-bearing structures.
Car is 'drivable' with rear engine/transaxle, front tub and front drive assembly module.
Engine is an eight cylinder in 'W' format. That is two Vee-fours with their crankshafts gearedto a cenntral drive shaft.
Front and rear suspension are both by swing axles and sprung by torsion bars. The front suspension module plus straing into the front of the stressed tub and is completely self contained for load paths. The rear suspension feefs the loadparths into the engine assembly.
Not on the engine module the heat exchangers mounted in front of the rear wheels as well as behing the rear suspension module. The real Veyron has 13 heat exchangers in all. The detailing on the top of the engine asembly replicates the intake system and air-air intercoolers for the charge air.
One of the included images has the entire vehicle assembly arrayed.
Please feel free to ask any questions or request further techincal information regarding the model.
