The We're Here! gang is visiting the Tilt the Camera group today. I've been busy cooking for the freezer -- some soup, and a vegan meatloaf made of lentils, mushrooms, yams, and nuts.

The We're Here! gang is examining luggage today.
Great timing, as I dropped Fred at the airport earlier. He is on his way to England to participate in an archaeological dig in Cerne Abbas.

Duran Duran celebrate their longevity on “Anniversary,” the latest single from their upcoming album Future Past.
Today, Duran Duran share the anthemic ‘ANNIVERSARY’, produced by the band along with British DJ/producer, Erol Alkan and the third song taken from their fifteenth studio album, ‘FUTURE PAST’, set for global release on October 22.
‘ANNIVERSARY’ is Duran Duran at their exhilarating best and continues to show why they’re still one of the most exciting and progressive bands on the planet. Celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, the song is sure to be a massive live favorite.
Speaking from London, where they are rehearsing for a string of upcoming UK dates, Duran Duran bassist and founder member John Taylor said today:
“‘ANNIVERSARY’ is a special song for us. Obviously we were conscious of our own impending 40th anniversary of making music together, but we wanted the song’s meaning to be inclusive in the broadest possible way. After playing and working together for so long, we very much appreciate what ‘being together’ and ’staying together’ can really mean, it’s not something we would have thought song worthy 40 years ago but we do today! It was also fun to build a track with hints of previous Duran hits, they’re like Easter eggs, for the fans to find.
A while ago I was in the future hitchhiking and some Alian took me Audi 5000 ..hoovering. Driven by harvested power of love.
Unfortunately there was never a 2 door version of this lovely Type44 Audi.

A surreal close-up of synthetic beauty fused with aging technology. "Electronic Lips" reflects a human lost to artificiality—merged with machines, yet clinging to obsolete remnants of progress.
I love to be creative !

Wow! thanks everyone.
Of course train tracks are a photo cliché, but how can someone walk past a set of tracks without pressing the shutter button? I dare you. Try it.
Train tracks are fascinating. They raise questions, fantasies, possibilities. They have inspired many references that have become cliché as well. We strive to keep ourselves on track, some of us need to get our lives back on track. Many of us travel life so precariously that it is easy to get derailed. When a stockcar driver finds his groove and runs well, we say he’s on a rail.
They are a metaphor for just about any aspect of life – good or bad. Often, when life gets tough and it seems as if responsibilities, stress, and busyness accumulates, we feel we’re on a runaway freight train. A particularly cumbersome responsibility, especially when others are involved feels like we’re driving a train. Life on a rail can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on where you’re headed and how fast.
I used to listen to an 8-track tape compilation of Johnny Cash songs about trains and rivers. I always thought it was cute when there was a quick-fade in the middle of “Blue Train” for the cassette to “switch tracks.”

As we found our places in the workshop and I set to gathering supplies Jesse's curiosity (the most valuable character trait in any man of science) continued to get the better of him.
"How have I done anything that could be value in this Professor?"
"It was your experiments in the continuous production of heat from compressed matter that gave us the refined Pitchblende power source that runs the Hoever-Carriage was it not?"
"Perhaps my initial research was of some value" He replied modestly "but it was The Lady Porkshanks and yourself who made the application practical."
"Well my friend we are about to make it more so."
"You intrigue me Professor, can you explain your reasoning?"
For a brief instant I felt as if we were back at University in a lecture room with Jesse was my only student. Making myself comfortable with the notion, I set to work while I spoke:
"As you well know every last form of matter in creation interacts in some way with other forms of matter. Some react passively and slowly while others react with speed and violence. Consider the vital element, Oxygen; the beneficial gas... Without it we would die. Without it your beloved gunpowder would not fire. It is invisible and odorless and nearly weightless; but given time it will eat away at iron leaving almost nothing behind. In excess will cause the air to ignite spontaneously. It is highly interactive."
Jesse grinned as I picked up a caliper and examined another component all the while continuing my lecture. I must confess the stresses of the previous days had already begun to melt away. Being back in my element, the laboratory, the workshop, the "inventorium" was deeply refreshing to my soul. I continued.
"Other elements are much less reactive and need to be coaxed and cajoled to mix and match with their fellow elemental materials. And some" (I paused dramatically to capture the attention of my student) "react not only with others but within themselves... Pitchblende for example."
He nodded knowingly.
"Your work found that refined pitchblende when compressed at significant pressures created a reaction within itself that generated heat so significant that it could be used as a fuel source. All Lady Porkshanks and I did was improve the process and apply it to the boiler."
"Of course professor, but I know all this - how is this to help dispose of the evil book? We cannot boil it away?"
I wondered if he was being purposefully obtuse or was he simply playing his role as student for my benefit. Playing along I leaned in slightly to look him more closely in the eye.
"Why, Jesse, does the boiler operate at fixed temperature?"
"Because the unique properties of the compressed pitchblende generates heat a predictable rate."
My internal fire was beginning to glow as I assembled the first of several components.
"Why is it not hotter?"
"Because we have compressed it to its limits."
Raising an eyebrow I peered over my spectacles and asked, "Have we?"
His eyes widened. I had his undivided attention.
I cleared my throat for emphasis.
"What if, my friend, we had only reached the limits of our ability to compress the matter and with the application greater pressures we could release greater energy? What do you suppose the released energy could reach?"
Jesse stood, almost at attention, he stammered with excitement
"The.. the potential is... staggering! From what I recall from the tables I created when I charted the output potentials... With sufficient pressure the matter might reach a point at which the output of energy would exceed the matter's own ability to contain it! The results could be... dare I say it? Incalculable!" His look suddenly turned quizzical. "But how in heaven's name will we achieve such pressures out here with limited facilities? We'd need a press ten times the size we used previously to even approach such levels."
"Who", I inquired, "said anything about a press?"
"But.." was his only reply. I changed my tact.
"Jesse, what happens to the powder in a shell when the rifle cartridge is struck by a firing pin?"
"The primer ignites the powder and it explodes."
"And why does the rifle not explode?"
"Because the barrel is made of steel and the force of the explosion is used to push the projectile out the barrel. Professor you know all this."
"True... but indulge me. What would happen to that projectile if a heavy steel plate we placed inches from the muzzle?"
"Well naturally it would.. be.. COMPRESSED!" His excitement was palpable, and contagious."and if we were to do that with the Pitchblende..."
"Precisely!" I shouted "You have the keenest knowledge of explosives out of all of us. I propose we construct a vessel that directs not one but multiple charges inward, simultaneously, to compress the Pitchblende so completely that it releases all it's potential energy at once!"
Without another word Jesse leapt into action. Down the corridor to raid the arms cupboard, back to his quarters to gather supplies from his private collection; he returned to the workshop loaded to overflowing.
For hours we labored, stopping neither for food nor drink but only necessary consultation and conversation. For my part I extracted the extra supplies of Pitchblende from storage and continued to construct the containment vessel.
By mid afternoon our efforts reached their conclusion.
Based on Jesse's knowledge of explosive forces and our experience with compressed Pitchblende we calculated the potential heat and resultant explosive force that would be released from the device would be so significant that we'd need to be several miles distant at detonation.
That required not only a trigger but also a timer... something like a pocket watch. Since all our pocket watches had failed since our arrival in this dreaded place I would need construct a new non-mechanical 'pocket watch'. For that I would need a tin can, barbed wire and a few bits of string and chewing gum.

Built in 1937, Birmingham’s S. H. Kress Five-and-Ten Cent Store was the second completed of the three great mercantile buildings on this intersection. Its construction reflected Kress’s confidence in Birmingham’s economy and marked a break by its chief architect, Edward F. Sibbert, with prior architectural traditions by incorporating Bauhaus, Streamline Moderne and the emerging International Style influences into the creamy mottled terra-cotta and steel-framed structure.
Thriving through the Second World War and into the early 1960’s as part of Birmingham’s historic retail and theatre district, the company’s downtown fortunes began to diminish as activity and population moved toward the suburbs and into newer forms of retail development. The store was closed in 1978, and the building was added to the National Register in 1982.
The Kress Building was acquired in 2003 by the shareholders of the law firm of Wiggins, Childs, Quinn and Pantazis, P.C. After a complete restoration of the building and its historic features in 2003 and 2004, the Kress Building once again has regained the vibrant and significant presence it once enjoyed.
