I still needed the Bogen 501 head as a riser and for fine in and out adjustments against the glass disc. That's a Crescent wrench taped to the alumninum bar as a counter balance!
When I made the first set, I made things too complicated and did not get the mounting holes colinear with the center of the part. So I remade them.

Built in 1935-1939, this Modern house, an example of Organic Architecture, was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. to serve as a weekend retreat. The house was a catalyst for the revitalization of Frank Lloyd Wright’s career, who was in his mid-60s at the time, along with two other commissions around the same time, the Johnson Wax Headquarters and the Jacobs House I, which were critically acclaimed and explored a bold new direction of organic architecture that was heavily inspired from their natural surroundings, and were streamlined, dropping most of the ornamental pretenses of his earlier work. The house was built for department store owner Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., his wife, Liliane Kaufmann, and their only son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., to serve as the family’s weekend retreat, with room to accommodate a small staff and guests alongside the family. The Kaufmann family became acquainted with the work of Wright through Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who read Frank Lloyd Wright’s autobiography in 1934, and was so impressed that he decided to intern at the Taliesin Fellowship, where Edgar, Sr. and Liliane first met Wright while visiting Edgar, Jr. The family, at the time, resided in a traditional-style mansion in Fox Chapel, near Pittsburgh, and had a small rustic cabin overlooking the waterfall at the Fallingwater site. The cabins were falling into disrepair in the mid-1930s, which prompted the Kaufmann family to contact Wright to design a replacement structure. Wright visited and surveyed the area around Bear Run in 1934, but shelved the project while pursuing other work for the next few months, thinking through the design, before being surprised by a visit from Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr. in September 1935, which prompted Wright to quickly draw a concept for a house at Bear Run, producing the initial design drawings in two hours. Edgar, Sr., upon seeing the plans, was surprised to see the house soaring above the waterfall, as he had expected it to sit below the falls in order to view them from a distance, but Wright’s charisma convinced a skeptical Kaufmann to buy into the concept.
The house was designed by Wright with input from structural engineers Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters to feature large cantilevers, which allowed it to embrace the waterfall and topography below, while providing ample outdoor space and the desired number of bedrooms and living spaces within. A second wing was constructed above the main house, linked to it via a covered breezeway, which houses a carport, servants quarters, and a guest suite. The stone utilized in the house’s construction was quarried on the site, and it utilized reinforced concrete in its construction, a building technique with which Wright was inexperienced, but which the design would be impossible to implement without utilizing. Kaufmann was skeptical of Wright’s experience with the technique, as well as the cantilevered forms of the structure, and commissioned an engineering report, compiled by an engineering firm, which caused Wright to threaten to walk away from the incomplete project. Kaufmann relented in the face of Wright’s ultimatum, and had the documents buried. However, the contractor, feeling uneasy about the strength of Wright’s design, added extra reinforcement in secret, which was revealed during the building’s restoration. Other changes were made due to skepticism of the cantilevered design, but many of these were reversed, which proved the resiliency and strength of the design. The house came in far over budget, but despite these cost overruns and complications with the design, the Kaufmann family enjoyed it as a weekend retreat between 1937 and 1963. Liliane Kaufmann died in 1952, and Edgar Kaufmann, Sr. died in 1955, leaving the house to their son, Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., who continued to utilize the house as a weekend retreat, with his life partner, Paul Mayén, becoming a regular visitor to the house as well. In 1963, Edgar, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, along with the surrounding property, which was converted into a nature reserve, and the house was opened for public tours.
The house features multiple reinforced concrete cantilevers, wrap-around windows facing the falls and Bear Run, open, transparent corners on the side of the building facing the creek, stone cladding on the more opaque portions of the facade, large terraces on the cantilevered portions of the building, open tread staircases inside and outside the building, red metal trim, a suspended concrete canopy over the breezeway connecting the guest wing and carport with the main house, a swimming pool on the terrace outside the guest wing, rocks embedded into the floors of the interior of the house, a staircase from the living room down to Bear Run below, and red concrete floors inside. A driveway, following Bear Run, crosses a bridge next to the main wing of the house before following a narrow corridor between the main wing and an adjacent stone outcropping, before turning and arriving at the upper wing, which originally housed a four-bay carport on the lower floor. The interior of the house is very open to the exterior, with low furnishings that allow for maximization of the views out of the windows, and is home to art that was collected by Liliane, books collected by Edgar, Jr. and Paul, and furnishings collected by Edgar, Sr. The house’s kitchen features yellow-painted metal cabinets and appliances, and chrome handles, the living room features a fireplace with a spherical beverage warmer that is designed to swing over to the fireplace from its storage location next to the fireplace and coffered ceilings, and horizontal bands of trim, and various portions of the house feature built-in desks, cabinets, wooden slat screens, and bookshelves, simple beds featuring wooden headboards and nightstands in the bedrooms, and bathrooms with cork tiles, sunken bathtubs, ceiling-mounted shower heads, and toilets with wall-embedded tanks. The upper wing of the house has a carport and guest suite on the lower floor, with servants quarters above, and the main house features a living room, dining room, kitchen, terraces and lounge on the first floor, a primary suite and secondary bedroom and bathroom with large terraces on the second floor, and a suite intended for Edgar, Jr. on the third floor, which was later partially converted into an office. The house is very broad in the direction parallel to Bear Run and has a living room that cantilevers over the creek, but it is very thin, being rather thin, with primary interior spaces featuring windows that look out onto Bear Run below. The house, despite its size appearing massive due to its spatial arrangement, has only a small interior square footage, but the space is efficiently designed to offer maximum utility to the occupants, and allow a close connection with nature.
The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. It was designated as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, in 2019. A visitor center was constructed on the property in 1977-1979, designed by Paul Mayen. The most visible modification to the house since it was opened to the public were the enclosure of three carport bays to house a museum and presentation space for visitors. The house underwent major alterations to its structural systems in 1995-2002, involving analyzing the performance of the cantilevers over time since the house’s construction, as the bold cantilevered forms had insufficient reinforcement and had deflected substantially, nearing their failure points. Additional steel supports and post-tensioning in the form of steel cables were added to the building to support the cantilevers, which has halted the progression of the deflection of the structure, though it is monitored by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy in order to detect any further movement of the structure. The house today sees over one-hundred thousand visitors annually, and is one of the most well-known works of Wright, as well as being one of the best-known houses in the United States.

YOUTH FOR EQUALITY, JNU CHAPTER.

One after another pamphlet is giving convincing testimony about the left hypocrisy in the campus. To answer a question, they prefer to ask another question!! They deflect the attention with utter shamelessness. They do it again and .
again in such a way that the person or organization facing them may easily discount them as rational.

reservation for OBCs. Four decades of socio-economic developments and growth ofcapitalism have led to class .

The communists of this campus are composed of false propagandists. They do not know the fact. For their .
information and knowledge, there is no reservation for foreign national at PG level at AIIMS as L~ey mentioned in yesterdays parr.phlet. It is totally a false propaganda and shows their ignorance. 5 seats are reserved for the foreign nationals in the MBBS level that is graduation level, not at PG level and it account 10% of the seats. This is because, since the AIIMS is established under the Colombo Plan, the Government had to oblige its stature. And these 5 seats do not go to any foreign national, it only go to students of under developed African and Asian nations like Nigeria, Zambia, Ethiopia and Nepal etc. Do the communists feel that these countries are also imperialist country and their poor nationals must be barred from entry?? Do the communists have objection on Colombo Plan (1951) .
where tbey prefer to organize big events like World Social Forum Conference with corporate funding? Thedesigned to improve the plight of under developed nations?? Now what is their stance on the poor of Africa, .
communists may prefer another question to answer tbese pertinent questions. .

In 1982, the communists, who are now too concemf>d about the political class, blocked the entry ofIndira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India (then head of the political class) into the JNU Campus just to show their disruptive capacity.

Before coming to Tulsa Boys' Home, I was a grudge-holding, depressed, perfectionist plus OCD struck teenager who deflected my anger towards everyone else in my life bacause I couldn't deal with the hatred I had towards myself and depended on Ecstasy for the only source of happiness.
Also, I was stuck in the fact that if the material things around me were perfect, then at least something in my life was what I wanted it to be. I never dealt with my problems, only suppressed and moved on to the next one. I carried a ton of resentments and even hated people that didn't think like me.
My family was slowly being torn apart, and I was the one that set it off. Even though I hated people, I was always worried about how others thought of me, not how I thought of myself.
I prevented people from learning on their own, taking care of their problems, so that they didn't have to deal with it. My mind was becoming a wreck, and I wasn't able to handle life on life's terms.
But now, it feels like I'm a completely different person in a completely different world. Not only have I got a lot out of treatment, but my family has too. The bond between my family and I is the strongest it's ever been. I have enough courage and self-esteem to take on my problems and get them resolved.
I use acceptance as a basic way of life. I can accept people; their actions, views, beliefs, and behaviors. I can allow people to feel what they need to feel, and not take care of them. I've learned that talking about my problems does indeed help out a lot, and suppression only harms me on the inside.
I allow myself to be human and accept my mistakes as a way to learn and grow. I've forgiven myself and others also, loving myself and loving others; I hate no person today. I can feel good and accomplished without seeking other's approval or praise. I have my emotional stability, not sky-rocketing emotions. Last of all, and most important thing, I've learned and accepted the fact that there is no such thing as "perfect". Today, I strive to be successful, not perfect. I can accept life as it is and make the best of it.
I would like to thank Mr. Rick for helping me through my progress and growth, and his knowledge. Mrs. Turley and Mrs. Tamika for helping me out with difficult situations, and listening to what I had to say. Mr. Cool for just being himself; all round "cool" guy. Ms. Jenny for always putting a smile on my face. Mr. Jason for also helping me out with stressful situations and listening. Ms. Crews for making me laugh constantly, and Mr. A for amusing me and inspiring to start doing acting and drama again. Also, Mr. Mike for working out and teaching me some new things.
The residents of Elk lodge (past and present) for helping me through treatment and helping me accept people for who they are. Buffalo lodge for being competitive. The chefs of TBH for filling me up with delicious foods. Teachers of TBH for helping me gain back my knowledge, and TBH for this life changing experience.
Yet another bruise to add to my gallery. This one hit me just to the inside of my left calf. Of course, it was right where the shin guard protection is minimal. It looks like it will get darker. I was going to post each day, but it wasn't that dramatic a difference in between.

A few weeks back, while in town for the Oceana air show, a very good friend of mine surprised me, and asked if I would like to go out on the Washington for the day.
I could go on forever with what to say here, but I will let my images tell the rest of the story.
Here are some of my images from one of the most incredible experiences in my life.
