My Dad (electrician/handyman previous to current RN work), my uncle Bill (party thrower extraordinaire), and I (wee little peon) made this electric set up to set off fireworks at my uncle's July 4th party. This is the plug box half. Just a bunch of 12v dc parallel circuits. Switched by 24 house switches in a different box about 60ft of cable away. Each plug gets an extension cord plugged in. We modified the extension cords by replacing the female end with two alligator clips. Between the clips we attached little resistors as improvised electronic matches. On the night of the party we tapped the resistors to their fuses with a bit of electrical tape, flipped the switches on time, set to a music mix, and watched the fireworks fly.
My uncle Bill came up with the initial circuit design and my Dad and I volunteered to put it together. My Dad put together the switch box while my sister and I worked on the music mix. As I'm far from an electrician, it took me about an hour to wire all this in and another hour to make the plugbox enclosure.
The overall project took more time than planned as we had a couple of miss-starts when we tried to use a bunch of untinned tiny momentary switches, ended up giving up on them as they were taking to long. We also started making an enclosure for the switches out of plexiglass, but once again that was taking forever and was scrapped as time was running out. Overall, about 10 hours worth of work went into it. Though now that the overall design is set, I'd say we could make another one in just a couple of hours.
It was a very fun little project and worked out well.
The new 2009 Kawasaki Vulcan 1700 Voyager. Photos are from the Kawasaki web site which they make available for download. Looking forward to getting to ride one, and I suspect if things work out well buying it shortly there after.
Control Room 2 containing a Soundcraft Ghost mixing console, PC with two monitors, Tascam recorders (one with a monitor), outboard and MIDI keyboard. The control room had two desk chairs, a small sofa, bespoke beech-coloured wooden surfaces and burgundy acoustic treatment to the walls and ceiling.
Control Room 2 was one of the set of studios constructed by Studio People in January 2004 for Leeds Metropolitan University in the basement of the now demolished 'A' block on Calverley Street. The block had previously housed the Engineering department workshops of the predecessor Leeds Polytechnic.
Another, older set of studios was adjacent to this facility but all were subsequently relocated to the university's Headingley campus, to the north of Leeds city centre, before this building was demolished.

Rougham Airfield (originally known as RAF Bury St Edmunds), is a former RAF station, situated 3 miles east of the Suffolk market town of Bury St Edmunds. The airfield was built between 1941 and 1942, and had three intersecting concrete runways. The main runway was approximately 2000 yards long, and run in an East to West direction.
It was designed for a United States Army Airforce unit (USAAF) bomb group. Fifty concrete hardstands were constructed justoff the encircling perimeter track. Two T2-type hangars were erected, one on each side of the airfield. Accommodation was provided for some 3,000 personnel in Nissen and other temporary type buildings.
The airfield was opened in September 1942 and was used by the USAAF Eighth Air Force.Bury St Edmunds was given USAAF designation Station 468 (BU).
The first USAAF group to use Bury St. Edmunds airfield was the 47th Bombardment Group (Light) arriving from Greensboro AAF North Carolina in mid-September 1942. The 47th was equipped with the Douglas A-20 Havoc bomber, but the group quickly moved to RAF Horham, as Bury St. Edmunds was still under construction. On 2 November the 47th was ordered to North Africa, departing for Medina Air Field 15 miles south of Casablanca in Morocco.
The 322d Bombardment Group (Medium) arrived in December 1942 from Drane Army Airfield, Florida, a satellite installation of nearby MacDill Field, where the 322d originally began their pre-deployment training. The group was assigned to the 3rd Bomb Wing and flew Martin B - Z6B/C Marauders.
Ongoing construction at Bury St. Edmunds forced two of the group's squadrons to locate to RAF Rattlesden. The group's aircraft did not arrive until late in March 1943. Once operational, the 322d flew two low-level bombing operations from Bury St. Edmunds. The first, on the 14th of May when it dispatched 12 planes for a minimum-level attack on an electrical generating plant near Ijtnuiden. This was the first operational combat mission flown by B-26s. The second was a disastrous mission to the Netherlands on Monday, 17 May, when the group sent 11 aircraft on a similar operation from which none of the aircraft penetrating the enemy coast, returned. 60 crewmen were lost to flak and interceptors. Group morale was not improved when, on the 29th of May, a B-26 crashed onto the airfield killing the crew and damaging a hangar. After these missions, the group was re-equipped and trained for medium-altitude operations for several weeks before returning to combat operations.
On the 13th of June, the 322nd moved to RAF Andrews Field in Essex. The 94th Bombarment Group (Heavy) arrived from RAF Earls Colne on the 15th of June 1943. The 94th was assigned to the 4th Combat Bombardment Wing, and the group tail code was a 'Square-A'. The group flew the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress as part of the Eighth Air Force's strategic bombing campaign and served chiefly as a strategic bombardment organization throughout the war.
The 94th flew its first mission on the 13th of June 1943, bombing an airfield at Saint Omer. After that, the group attacked such strategic objectives as the port of St Nazaire, shipyards at Kiel, an aircraft component parts factory at Kassel, a synthetic rubber plant at Hanover, a chemical factory at ludwigshafen, marshalling yards at Frankfurt, loil facilities at Mersburg, and ball-bearing works at Eberhausen.
The 94th took part in the campaign of heavy bombers against the enemy aircraft industry during Big Week, between the 20th and the 25th of February, 1944.
Prior to D-Day on June 1944, they helped to neutralize V-Weapon sites, airfields, and other military installations along the cob Industrial Estate. The T2 hangars are still in use, for storage.
The control tower was used for many years as a private dwelling, and has now been restored and is used as a museum. The airfield, once again known as Rougham, now has two grass runways available for civil use. Gliding and model aircraft flying are frequent and several open-air events are organised each year.
Transillumination shows ventilation through the chassis. They allow passive ventilation and when the fans are activated, serve as added flow through to cool the interiors. Thus, the whole interior assembly is open to cooling.

U-434 - soviet name originally B-515 - is a soviet submarine of the Tango class built in 1972. It is now open to the public as a museum ship in Hamburg close to the fish market.
18 month year old, Ranu, plays in the forecourt of the village. Her father drives a big truck up and down the main highway that connects Kathmandu and Pokhara. In my waking life at the village he was gone by the time I woke up, and came back by the time I went to bed. These sacrifices made reminds me of my own childhood, and how similar the scenario it was in my own household, years ago, and so many miles away.
