Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2015 - 2016
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Traditional Andalus-Boustrophedon typography in Cadiz, Spain. Note the unique syllable oriented bouma shapes! According to a local specialist gathering I encountered in a sherry bar, the usage of the boustrophedon pattern was brought to Andalusia by the Phoenicians. The traditional written style reflects Arab cursive writing which was super-imposed on the Andalusian Rotunda style during the Moorish occupation in the Middle Ages. In contemporary computerized typography, as shown here, this unique pattern is often replaced by justified setting. Notice the ‘camel’ capitalization: RestauRante

Location: Central Library - Seattle
Libraries are extremely organized places. Everything has its place, thanks the the Dewey Decimal System. Even better the days of looking through the card catalogs are over since its all computerized.
Organization has been on my mind a lot lately. It has been three years since I purchased my Canon Rebel XSi, signifying the point in time in which photography became a real hobby of mine. Since then I have taken countless photos, with some 1,300 posted on Flickr. More recently I have begun to shoot film and have slowed uploading pace, in an attempt of building a more structured approach.
That being said I am still unsure of the best way to go about organizing all my photos on Flickr. For awhile I thought about going through and deleting the ones I no longer liked, but decided against it. The photos as a whole represent my path, a timeline of my advancement.
Yet as my sense of photography continues to evolve I want to try to reflect that better in the way I organize my photos. Instead of shooting with one primary camera, I work with five now. Right now I have sets mostly derived based on the location of the photograph coupled with overall sets for individual film cameras. I am not looking to reinvent the Dewey Decimal System, just simplify things. Something I continue to ponder as my photography grows.

Some background:
The North American A-5 Vigilante (Prior to 1962 unification of Navy and Air Force designations, it was designated the A3J) was an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy. In 1953, North American Aviation began a private study for a carrier-based, long-range, all-weather strike bomber, capable of delivering nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds. This proposal, the North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW) concept, was accepted by the United States Navy, with some revisions, in 1955. A contract was awarded on 29 August 1956. Its first flight occurred two years later, on 31 August 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.
At the time of its introduction, the Vigilante was one of the largest and by far the most complex aircraft to operate from a Navy aircraft carrier. It had a high-mounted swept wing with a boundary-layer control system (blown flaps) to improve low-speed lift. It had no ailerons; roll control was provided by spoilers in conjunction with differential deflection of the all-moving tail surfaces. The use of aluminum-lithium alloy for wing skins and titanium for critical structures was also unusual. The A-5 had two widely spaced General Electric J79 turbojet engines, fed by inlets with variable intake ramps, and a single large all-moving vertical stabilizer. Preliminary design studies employed twin vertical fin/rudders, but this was eventually changed to a single tall but foldable fin. The wings and the nose radome folded for carrier stowage, too. The Vigilante had a crew of two seated in tandem, a pilot and a bombardier-navigator (BN) (reconnaissance/attack navigator (RAN) on later reconnaissance versions).
The Vigilante had advanced and complex electronics when it first entered service. It had one of the first "fly-by-wire" systems on an operational aircraft (with mechanical/hydraulic backup) and a computerized AN/ASB-12 nav/attack system incorporating a head-up display ("Pilot's Projected Display Indicator" (PPDI), one of the first), multi-mode radar, radar-equipped inertial navigation system (REINS, based on technologies developed for North American's Navaho missile), closed-circuit television camera under the nose, and an early digital computer known as "Versatile Digital Analyzer" (VERDAN) to run it all.
The aircraft replaced the subsonic Douglas A-3 Skywarrior as the Navy's primary nuclear-strike aircraft, but only briefly. Given its original design as a carrier-based, supersonic, nuclear heavy attack aircraft, the Vigilante’s main armament was carried in an unusual internal "linear bomb bay" between the engines in the rear fuselage, which allowed the bomb to be dropped at supersonic speeds. The single nuclear weapon, commonly the Mk 28 bomb, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet (15 m) per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It then followed a ballistic path.
The Vigilante originally had two wing pylons, intended primarily for drop tanks. The second Vigilante variant, the A3J-2 (A-5B), incorporated internal tanks for an additional 460 gallons of fuel, which added a pronounced dorsal "hump", along with two additional wing hardpoints, for a total of four. Other improvements included blown flaps on the leading edge of the wing, changes to the air intakes and stronger landing gear.
The reconnaissance version of the Vigilante, the RA-5C, was based on the A-5B airframe and had slightly greater wing area and added a long canoe-shaped fairing under the fuselage for a multi-sensor reconnaissance pack. This added an APD-7 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), AAS-21 infrared line scanner, and camera packs, as well as improved electronic countermeasures. An AN/ALQ-61 electronic intelligence system could also be carried. The RA-5C retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system, and could, in theory, carry weapons, although it never did in service. Later-built RA-5Cs had more powerful J79-10 engines with afterburning thrust of 17,900 lbf (80 kN), the same engines as the Navy’s F-4J Phantom IIs. The reconnaissance Vigilante weighed almost five tons more than the strike version with almost the same thrust and an only modestly enlarged wing. These changes reduced its acceleration and climb rate, though it remained fast in level flight and was still fully carrier-capable.
The last Vigilante version to be developed from 1964 on and to enter service in 1966 was the EA-5D, a dedicated electronic reconnaissance and electronic warfare version, again replacing respective A-3 Skywarrior variants. With the initial experience from the Vietnam conflict, the EA-5D was primarily conceived as a fast escort for supersonic strike aircraft – namely the USN’s F-4 Phantom IIs which progressively took over more strike missions and direly needed protection from SAMs that could keep up with them during their dangerous missions over enemy territory.
The EA-5D, which was unofficially nicknamed “Electric Vigilante”, “Eva” or simply “E-V” by its crews, was based on the late RA-5C’s airframe and was easily distinguishable through its fairing at the top of the fin which contained the electronics for a Bunker-Ramo AN/ALQ-86 ECM suite. It carried ECM gear in the linear bomb bay and a 16 feet (4.9 m) long canoe-shaped ventral fairing (looking like a shortened but deeper version of the RA-5C’s camera and SLAR installation), plus a heat exchanger, a non-jettisonable auxiliary tank and AN/ALE-41 chaff dispensers in an extended tail cone. The complete installation weighed some 6,000 pounds (2,700 kg). Receivers were installed in a fin-tip pod, or "football", like that of the contemporary EA-6A. This fin array caused some lateral instability, though, which could be compensated with a pair of fins under the rear fuselage.
Like the RA-5C, the EA-5D retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system and was – in theory – like its recce sibling capable to carry out strike missions, but this never happened either. The EA-5Ds were furthermore equipped with an AN/APQ-129 fire control radar, making the aircraft capable of SEAD missions and of firing the AGM-45 “Shrike” anti-radiation missile, although they were apparently never used in that offensive role. Up to four ram-air turbine powered ALQ-76 countermeasures pods could be carried on the underwing hardpoints, augmenting the internal AN/ALQ-86 system’s bandwidth and jamming power. To improve survivability the EA-5D was furthermore outfitted with a pair of launch rails, mounted as sub-pylons on the outsides of the outer underwing hardpoints. Each could carry a single IR-guided AIM-9 Sidewinder AAM.
Despite the Vigilante's useful service as reconnaissance and ECM platform, it was expensive and complex to operate and occupied significant amounts of precious flight and hangar deck space aboard both conventional and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at a time when carrier air wings, with the introduction of the F-14 Tomcat and S-3 Viking, were averaging 90 aircraft, many of which were larger than their predecessors. Moreover, the Vigilante did not end the career of the A-3 Skywarrior, which would carry on as photo reconnaissance aircraft, electronic warfare platforms, aerial refueling tankers, and executive transport aircraft designated as RA-3A/B, EA-3A/B, ERA-3B, EKA-3B, KA-3B, and VA-3B, into the early 1990s.
Only 28 EA-5Ds were built (two prototypes, 15 new-build, and 11 conversions from existing A-5A and RA-5C airframes) and the United States remained the only operator of the type. The EA-5D saw extensive use in Vietnam and seven machines were lost (four to SAMs, one to a VPAF MiG-21 and two through accidents), but after the end of hostilities and massive reductions of military expenses the EA-5D was quickly phased out from frontline service in the late 1970s, after an active career of just twelve years. In service it was replaced by the subsonic but much more potent EA-6B “Prowler”, which was based on the carrier-capable A-6 “Intruder” bomber, primarily to reduce the number of types in the USN’s arsenal and therewith operating costs and complexity. Since the EA-6B offered much higher ECM capabilities, the small EA-5D fleet was never upgraded, e. g. with the 2nd generation AGM-78 “Standard” ARM or the AN/ALQ-99 ECM pods.
However, a handful of “Electric Vigilantes” remained active with VAQ-137 (“Rooks”) until the late Eighties – long enough to receive the USN’s new tactical low-visibility paint scheme. These EA-5Ds were operated from land-bases only, not assigned to a Carrier Air Group, with a dedicated tail code (“KW”) to reflect this special status. They acted primarily as electronic aggressor aircraft but were also used to simulate supersonic cruise missiles like the contemporary Soviet Kh-20 (AS-3 “Kangaroo”) or Kh-22 (AS-4 “Kennel”) against land and sea targets during training and naval NATO maneuvers. Thanks to their size, speed and flight characteristics the aircraft were also employed as supersonic bomber aggressors, mimicking Soviet Tu-22s or Su-24s. Most of the Evas therefore received more or less authentic temporary Red Star decorations on their fins, which were, however, rarely overpainted after training missions and became part of the “standard markings”.
In 1987 the machines were finally retired, their airframes had reached their structural limit and maintenance costs of the complex aircraft had become prohibitive. They were in the electronic aggressor role eventually replaced with subsonic and much more economical EA-7L Corsair IIs.

The kit and its assembly:
This what-if project had been lingering for a long time in the back of my mind, and I shoved it a side for years because of the model’s sheer size that eats up a lot of display space – even though I had the hardware already stashed away, collecting dust. While the build was rather inspired by its livery (see below) I wondered why the Vigilante, an elegant and impressive aircraft, had not been adapted to the ECM role? The concept of a supersonic penetrator/protector aircraft was realized by the USAF with the EF-111A Raven, but in the Vigilante’s time frame, the Vietnam War, esp. its end phase, an escort for fast USN attack aircraft might have made sense, so that I tried to mate the RA-5C with contemporary ECM technology and typical details – and the result became the fictional EA-5D.
With this idea the model became only a conversion of a basic airframe, not a spectacular kitbashing. Since I knew the Hasegawa RA-5C and its underwhelming quality/detail, I settled for the Trumpeter kit – a MUCH better but also a bit über-complicated offering. It is, however, better in any respect, even though you can ask why the cockpit has to consist of no less than thirty (!) parts (including seats and dashboard films), and the pylons as well as even the thin stabilizers and the fin have to consist of halves? One can also wonder why the kit comes with four(!) free-fall nukes but none of the RA-5C’s typical 400 gallon drop tanks? The kit features the type’s underwing flare dispensers, though. If there is something to criticize it’s the lack of air intake ducts – behind the wedge-shaped intakes and their ramps there is nothing inside the fuselage. Since I did not want to put too much effort into that flaw I simple blocked sight into the model’s body with a bulkhead made from black foamed styrene.
Everything goes together quite well, except for the fuselage halves which appear somewhat warped, and the rather massive plastic makes work easy. Despite this splendor of material, the sandwich leading and trailing edges are surprisingly thin and look pretty good.
While the RA-5C was at its core built OOB there were – naturally – some external mods to convey its ECM role. Most obvious detail is the fin top fairing, procured from a KiTech EA-6B, a shabby copy of the Hasegawa kit. This also provided the ECM pods and the pair of voluminous drop tanks.
The retrofitted Sidewinder launch rails on the outer pylons came from an Emhar FJ-4B, the then-state-of-the-art all-aspect AIM-9Ls came from a Hasegawa F-4 kit. To emphasize its electronic mission I added some antenna fairings around the hull. Beyond the fin pod, the EA-5D received sensor fairings along the flanks, inspired by the USAF F-105Gs’arrangement along the bomb bay, a shallow dorsal bulge behind the cockpits and some blister and blade antennae all around the hull.
The large ventral fairing that replaced the RA-5C’s “camera canoe” was scratched from a drop tank half, from a chunky Kangnam MiG-31, in an attempt to create something that the reminds of the EF-111’s arrangement. A ventral adapter for a display holder was integrated into the hull, too, for in-flight scenes.
A pair of long stabilizer fins was added under the rear fuselage, too, because I think that the large tail fin pod could somewhat hamper directional stability… The consist of rotor blades from a Matchbox SA.360 Dauphin helicopter.
The Vigilante’s tail cone, the former fairing for the linear bomb bay between the engines, was also heavily modified, with a thimble-shaped radome and a separate fairing for an internal chaff dispenser underneath, for a different look. To make the model look a bit more lively, esp. in its all-grey low-viz livery (see below) I mounted the flaps (all six are separate elements, and the inner pairs consist of lower and upper halves, too!) in lowered position.
Painting and markings:
The original reason to build this whiffy Vigilante was to see how the sleek and elegant aircraft would look in early USN low-viz colors! With this idea in mind the scheme was improvised and very simple: FS 36320 on the upper surfaces and FS 36375 underneath (Humbrol 128 and 127, respectively), on the flanks (with a relatively high waterline) and the fin. A slightly darker blue grey (FS 35237, Humbrol 145) was used for an anti-glare panel in front of the windshield. Most di-electric panels and the nose radome were painted in brownish light grey (RAL 7032, Revell 75), for low contrast but a significantly different color.
Inside, the landing gear as well as the air intakes were painted gloss white, the cockpit was painted in neutral grey (FS 36231) with dark grey ejection seats. The latter appears a bit tone-in-tone with the all-grey outside, but that was apparently the A-5’s interior design in real life.
To add some variety to the grey livery I painted the ordnance in “old” USN colors: the drop tanks became all-white and the ECM pods also received a white base. The AIM-9Ls on the extra launch rails (also painted white) received blue bodies as training missiles, with black seeker heads and white tail fins.
The wings’ leading edges (bare steel?) were masked and then painted with Revell 91 (iron metallic).
The whole model received a washing with thinned black ink to emphasize the many recessed rivets and panel lines, and then I added panel counter shading with lighter basic tones, also trying to create a slightly worn/weathered and not-so-uniform finish on the large grey surfaces, which underline the Vigilante’s elegant lines but also look quite boring, due to the sheer size/area, esp. from above.
The low-viz markings were improvised and puzzled together from various sources. The Red Stars on the fin were inspired by real-world aggressor markings, AFAIK some A-7Ls, EA-3Bs and A-4Fs carried such decorations, even paired with large bort numbers on the nose.
To improve the worn/grimy look I also treated the model’s surfaces with grinded graphite – only lightly, but I wanted to make the large grey areas to look even more diverse than just with the initial paint effects.
RF-84F Thunderflash used in Norway 1956-1970
US.Air Force Serial number: 52-8723
Construction Number: unknown
Royal Norwegian Air Force reg. nr: AZ-X
Sandefjord,stored, tail from C-649 ex RDAF,53-7649
Reconnaissance version of the F-84F, 715 built.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Engine air intake ducts were located in the wing roots of the RF-84F rather than in the nose section. The elongated and enclosed nose contained 15 cameras: six standard forward-facing, one TriMetrogen horizon-to-horizon, and eight in oblique and vertical positions for target close-ups. The RF-84F featured many firsts: the Tri-Metrogen camera, a computerized control system based on light, speed, and altitude, it adjusted camera settings to produce pictures with greater delineation and a vertical view finder with a periscopic presentation on the cockpit panel to enhance visual reconnaissance. Talking into a wire recorder, the pilot could describe ground movements that might not appear in still pictures.
Production of the RF-84F was linked to that of the F-84F. In both cases, the Korean War prompted the decision. The Tactical Air Command had to withdraw tactical aircraft from storage and modify active F-80s to meet the war's reconnaissance requirements. The RF-80 actually became the Air Force's recon workhorse in Korea, but thin plane could not fly at low altitude long enough to perform suitable visual reconnaissance. Nonetheless, the first RF-84F order was not formalized until 12 June 1961--2 weeks after satisfactory inspection of the mock-up and 6 months past official endorsement~of the RF-84F full-scale production. The initial RF-84F contract only called for, two prototypes (later reduced to one), but the Air Force was already convinced the new aircraft would be the best in terms of endurance, speed, and sensors. The RF-84F would also be able to fly night missions by using magnesium flares carried under its wings in flash-ejector cartridges. Hence, the first 130 RF-84Fs were ordered before the new fiscal year (July 1961).
Before this flight, an F-84F prototype had already tested the RF-84F'a new air intake configuration. The test disclosed no serious impairment of overall aircraft performance.
Almost 1 year after delivery of the first F-84F. The Air Force accepted a second RF-84F in September.
Being almost identical to the F-84F, the RF-84F did not escape some of its predecessor's problems. Republic's shortage of forgings prevented further deliveries of the RF-84Fs until January 194. In April, after only 24 of the reconnaissance aircraft (counting the 2 released in 1963) had been accepted, engine troubles brought another delay. Eighteen months passed before RF-84F deliveries finally resumed in November 1966.

The computerized Gait scan along with a thorough bio-mechanical analysis of your feet by your Physiotherapist is the only appropriate method that allows for a precise prescription of your custom functional orthotics. A 3D imprint of your foot is taken by the pressure sensors in the gait platform which gives your orthotic not only the perfect shape needed but also the timing to make it a DYNAMIC (walking) supportive device.
Cyberdyne Systems: Skynet was a computer system developed by the defense firm Cyberdyne Systems for the United States Armed Forces. Skynet was first built as a "Global Digital Defense Network" and given command over all computerized military hardware and systems, including the B-2 stealth bomber fleet and America's entire nuclear weapons arsenal. The strategy behind Skynet's creation was to remove the possibility of human error and slow reaction time to guarantee fast, efficient response to enemy attack.

Ad from the January 1933 International Advertising art publication. It was all letterpress and the typography was superb.
Futura requires professional type composition. That's one of the problems with using it. Kerning, leading, point size, it all has to be done correctly, or Futura simply doesn't work. Those skills have mostly been lost in the computerization of graphic design today.
While riding Space Mountain, I kept hearing a computerized voice saying "Zone 13, rerouting. Zone 12, rerouting. Zone 11, etc..." Then we suddenly came to a stop at some trim breaks.
A few moments passed, the music stopped, then the lights came on. A few moments after that, a group of 5 team members came rushing up the steps and said "Hang on, you're about to do something most people don't get to do!" I assumed we were going to be walked off but they ended up pushing us down the track like it was a bobsled!
We were at nice gentle coast all the way to the loading area, where, they relocked our safety latches, and sent us off again.

A Tripartite Agreement was signed Jan. 17 at the Ilocos Norte Capitol for the funding of the Revenue Generation and Land Administration Reforms (REGALA) Project. The Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction, thru the Asian Development Bank (ADB), will give a grant to the Provincial Government Ilocos Norte (PGIN) for the implementation of the REGALA Project thus allowing the acquisition of computer equipment and training of personnel. The project will computerize all land information, transactions regarding real properties, and speed up inter-agency collaboration. The result of which is an increase in revenue collection by up to 50% which will result to poverty reduction. In Ilocos Norte, the initial REGALA Project sites are the municipalities of San Nicolas and Piddig.
Among the signatories of the Tripartite Grant Agreement are: Gov. Imee Marcos; Mr. Ian David Lloyd, REGALA Project Director; Atty. Salvador Del Castillo, OIC-Executive Director of Department of Finance - Bureau of Local Government Finance; Mayor Alfredo Valdez, Jr., Municipality of San Nicolas; and Mayor Eddie Guillen, Municipality of Piddig. Other agencies involved in the project are the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the Land Registration Authority and the Department of Agrarian Reform.

A wrecking yard (Australian, New Zealand, and Canadian English), scrapyard (Irish and British English) or junkyard (American English) is the location of a business in dismantling where wrecked or decommissioned vehicles are brought, their usable parts are sold for use in operating vehicles, while the unusable metal parts, known as scrap metal parts, are sold to metal-recycling companies.
Other terms include wreck yard, wrecker's yard, salvage yard, breakers yard, dismantler and scrapheap. In the United Kingdom, car salvage yards are known as car breakers, while motorcycle salvage yards are known as bike breakers. In Australia, they are often referred to as 'Wreckers'.
The most common type of wreck yards are automobile wreck yards, but junkyards for motorcycles, bicycles, small airplanes and boats exist too.
Many salvage yards operate on a local level—when an automobile is severely damaged, has malfunctioned beyond repair, or not worth the repair, the owner may sell it to a junkyard; in some cases—as when the car has become disabled in a place where derelict cars are not allowed to be left—the car owner will pay the wrecker to haul the car away.
Salvage yards also buy most of the wrecked, derelict and abandoned vehicles that are sold at auction from police impound storage lots,and often buy vehicles from insurance tow yards as well.
The salvage yard will usually tow the vehicle from the location of its purchase to the yard, but occasionally vehicles are driven in. At the salvage yard the automobiles are typically arranged in rows, often stacked on top of one another.
Some yards keep inventories in their offices, as to the usable parts in each car, as well as the car's location in the yard. Many yards have computerized inventory systems. About 75% of any given vehicle can be recycled and used for other goods.
In recent years it is becoming increasingly common to use satellite part finder services to contact multiple salvage yards from a single source.
In the 20th century these were call centres that charged a premium rate for calls and compiled a facsimile that was sent to various salvage yards so they could respond directly if the part was in stock. Many of these are now Web-based with requests for parts being e-mailed instantly.

Times Square, New York City, New Years Eve Ball Drop, 2013 - 2014
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

And here was my other creative endeavour for the evening: a custom face for Lenora! Last night I was working on a computerized decal for this shot. Unfortunately they didn't print properly. So I decided to see how well I could draw the face instead. This was my second attempt. The first attempt didn't look right. (I also discovered that you shouldn't remove sharpie from Lego using acetone - it ruins the Legos!).

Summer Leaders Seminar candidates familiarize themselves with the high tech equipment inside the Department of Military Instruction’s Warfighting Simulation Center. More than 500 rising high school students had the opportunity to shoot moving targets in the EST2000 simulation, and engage in computerized combat against each other using the America’s Army software. SLS is a weeklong program developed by West Point Admissions in 1976 for rising high school seniors to experience a week at West Point. It was originally designed to capture the academic experience for students but gradually covered the full spectrum—from the classroom to field training and athletics. During the weeklong session, students learn about West Point from cadet cadre, senior military leaders, instructors and coaches. More than 1,000 students will experience West Point this summer, from a field of about 4,000 candidates. More than 350 cadet candidates who attended SLS last year will return to the academy June 27 for Reception Day. Photo by Mike Strasser, West Point Public Affairs

Out of respect for the legacy of representative democracy in the United States, (a legacy in which my extended family has played a role, both positive {in my opinion} and negative), i attended the polls and, upon computerized equipment i deeply distrust, cast a ballot .
As best i can recollect, my expressed intent in the ballot was to cast votes as follows ; (i was going to write it down but there was a line forming) :
PA Constitutional Amendment Question : No
{
I sympathize with the need of many senior citizens for property tax relief . But anticipated that the burden would be shifted onto rental properties, which could price me out of my apartment, (of many years) .
}
Retain Thomas G. Saylor on the PA Supreme Court ? : No
Retain Debra Todd on the PA Supreme Court ? : Yes
Retain Jacquiline O. Shogan on the PA Superior Court ? : No
Justice of the PA Supreme Court : Dwayne Woodruff
Judges of the/a PA Superior Court : (4)
Maria McLaughlin
Carolyn Nichols
Deborah Anne Kunselman
Geoffrey Moulton Jr.
(it is possible i voted for Jules Mermelstein instead of one of the above, i don't clearly recall)
Judges of the/a PA Commonwealth Court : (2)
Ellen H. Ceisler
Irene M. Clark
Judge of the court of common pleas, 31st PA Judicial district :
I don't recall whether i voted on this ; the candidate was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed .
Judicial Retention Elections : 31st PA Judicial District :
James T. Anthony : Yes ... { Out of respect for an ex-marine . }
Maria L. Dantos : Yes
Robert L. Steinberg : No
Michele A. Varricchio : Yes
Lehigh County Executive :
Phillips Armstrong
Lehigh County Commissioners, District 5, (as i recall) :
I don't recall whether i voted on this ; the candidate was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed .
Magesterial Disctrict Judge, (31-1-04) :
David Howells Jr.
{
He too was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed ; but i recall having had a friendly conversation with him once as he left work .
}
Allentown Referendum question : Mayoral term limits : No
{
If someone wants to dedicate his or her career to a single elective office, and the voters periodically so approve, that's fine by me .
}
Allentown Mayor : RAY O'CONNELL
{
Write-in ballot . It seemed that the machine's write-in virtual keyboard was stuck in Caps-Lock mode .
}
He did not win .
Allentown City Council, (4 year term) : (4) :
Cynthia Mota
Julio A. Guridy
Daryl L. Hendricks
{
Each of the above was running unopposed as a Democrat . There was, as well, a fourth listed, unopposed, Democratic Party candidate ; but i opted not to vote for this person, having recalled "interaction" with him in the past which i would not characterize as "positive" . So instead, i cast my fourth City Council races ballot for myself .
}
MICHAEL CHARLES YOUNG
{
I did not win .
}
Allentown City Council, (2 year term) :
Courtney A. Robinson
Allentown School Directors : (4) :
Sara Jane Brace
Cheryl Johnson Watts
Lisa A. Conover
Phoebe D. Harris
.
There were also two races which did not appear in the Voters Guide, but which i feel may have importance .
Inspector of Election, (for my ward and district) .
{
Here, as i recall, a candidate was running unopposed . I recall i voted for this person . They won .
}
Judge of Election, (for my ward) .
{
Here, as i recall, there was no listed candidate, just an opportunity to write-in . In my mind, at the time, i assigned more influence to this post than it seems to have ; and in this light i found the empty race intriguing. So i offered my services...
}
MICHAEL CHARLES YOUNG
{
... but did not win .
}
Please see also : Wikipedia on Election Judge . I am still somewhat puzzled why i was invited to vote for both an election judge and an election inspector at such a local level, but okay .
.
I list these votes, in a large part, because i believe that by the public's publishing our ballots, (as best we can recall them), we can provide a valuable check on the faithfulness of official United States, (and other), election returns .

Here is my latest marble machine. It is called Mr. Marbles because the bowtie reminds me of Mr. Peanut. This machine is made from Maple, Cherry, and Zebrawood for the bowtie, however each one I make will have a different species of wood for the bowtie to give them each a bit of uniqueness. Every part has been made by hand, no cnc milling or computerized design was used.
Here is the youtube video:
