What is true for PL is similarly true for E: 20-year-old cars are, of course, not driven as far and as often, apart from vintage car festivals. In the case of Spain, the relatively large distance to Leipzig is an additional factor. Since 2000 the Spanish plates are no longer coded, so it's even nicer for me if I can find such an old one after all.
Omaha Beach, Fox Red sector, Normandy , France
Omaha Beach
Omaha was divided into ten sectors, codenamed (from west to east): Able, Baker, Charlie, Dog Green, Dog White, Dog Red, Easy Green, Easy Red, Fox Green and Fox Red. On june 6, 1944 -D-Day - the initial assault on Omaha was to be made by two Regimental Combat Teams (RCT), supported by two tank battalions, with two battalions of Rangers also attached. The RCT's were part of the veteran 1st Infantry division ("The Big Red One") and the untested 29th ("Blue and Grey") , a National Guard unit.
The plan was to make frontal assaults at the "draws" (valleys) in the bluffs which dominate the coast in Normandy , codenamed west to east they were called D-1, D-3, E-1, E-3 and F-1 . These draws could then be used to move inland with reserves and vehicles.
The Germans were not stupid; they knew the draws were vital and concentrated their limited resources in defending them. To this end they built "Widerstandsneste" with AT guns, mortars, MG's in Tobrul's, trenches and bunkers, manned by soldiers of the German 716th and - more recently - 352nd Infantry Division, a large portion of whom were teenagers, though they were supplemented by veterans who had fought on the Eastern Front. All in all some 1100 German soldiers defended the entire Omaha beach sector of over 5 miles.
Preliminary bombardments were almost totally ineffective and when the initial waves landed at low tide they met with fiece opposition of an enemy well dug in and prepared.
Casualties were heaviest amongst the troops landing at either end of Omaha. At Fox Green and Easy Red, scattered elements of three companies were reduced to half strength by the time they gained the relative safety of the shingle, many of them having crawled the 300 yards (270 m) of beach just ahead of the incoming tide. Casualties were especially heavy amongst the first waves of soldiers and the gap assault teams - at Omaha these were tasked with blasting channels through the beach obstacles. German gunfire from the bluffs above the beach took a heavy toll on these men. The demolition teams managed to blast only six complete gaps and three partial ones; more than half their engineers were killed in the process.
Situation at Dog Green and on Easy Red on the other end of Omaha by mid morning was so bad with nearly all the troops essentially pinned down on the beach gen. Eisenhower seriously considered to abandon the operation; in "First Wave at OMAHA Beach", S.L.A. Marshall, chief U.S. Army combat historian, called it "an epic human tragedy which in the early hours bordered on total disaster."
As the US first waves assault forces and combat engineers landing directly opposite the "draws" were pinned down it was up to forces landing on the flanks of the strongpoints to penetrate the weaker German defences by climbing the bluffs. Doing this they had to overcome the minefields and barbed wire as well as machinegun fire from German positions but they did and they were able to attack some key strongpoints from the side and the rear, taking them out by early afternoon.
This happened on several spots at Omaha and essentially saved the day: individual acts of initiative by lower ranked officers and courage like that of First Lieutenant Jimmy Monteith, who led a group of men to take one of the key German widerstandsneste and was killed in action, succeeded where a flawed plan failed.
On the Photo:
Standing on Fox Red and looking west towards Fox Green and Easy red. Fox Red is the easternmost sector of Omaha Beach and has a natural barrier of sand stone cliffs near the edge of the beach. On june 6 troops men of the 3/16th RCT used the cliffs here as a natural protection against the relentless MG fire from the German Widerstandsneste WN-60 and WN-61 guarding the Easy-3 exit near Colleville; one of the biggest "draws" in the terrain which would allow heavy weapons and tanks to go inland.
Some of the iconic pictures of d-day were taken here in the early hours of june 6 when the first assault waves of the 1st infantry division attacking the Colleville draw were pretty much pinned down on the beach. Many assault boats designated for the Easy Red sector ended up here due to the strong current, the heavy fire from the Germans at Easy-3 and the proximity of the cliffs here which offered at least some protecion. Check this photo.
A smaller exit, code named Fox-1 near here was used to breach the german defenses and eventually take the strong WN's to the west.
Official US Army history:
"Four sections of Company L had landed and reorganized on the western end of Fox Red sector, where the bluff, merging here into a partial cliff just beyond the highwater shingle, afforded good cover. The company commander was killed as he exposed himself to direct the fire of some nearby tanks, and 1st Lt. Robert R. Cutler, Jr., took command. The sections were moved west, out of the shelter of the cliff and to a position where they were just below the strongpoint commanding F-1 draw. Two tanks were called on for fire support. As a scheme of maneuver, Lieutenant Cutler sent three sections and headquarters, 2d and 3d Sections leading, up the draw a little to the west of the strongpoint. There were no hostile prepared positions at the head or the west side of the draw. The heavy brush gave good cover from enemy small-arms fire, and the 2d and 3d Sections worked to the top in squad columns without serious losses, despite crossing enemy minefields. Here the 2d Section moved left and got in position to take the strongpoint from behind; a little to the right, the 3d and 5th Sections moved a short distance inland and organized a hasty defensive position. The three sections kept in contact with each other and with the beach." ("Omaha Beachhead", AMERICAN FORCES IN ACTION official US War department series)
"Private Steve Kellman's story:
"In the pre-dawn darkness aboard the HMS Empire Anvil, 21-year-old Private Steve Kellman, a rifleman in L Company, 16th Infantry, felt the crushing weight of the moment: "In the hours before the invasion, while we were below decks, a buddy of mine, Bill Lanaghan said to me, ‘Steve, I’m scared.’ And I said, ‘I’m scared, too.’"
Then, about three or three-thirty that morning, an officer gave the order and Kellman and Lanaghan and the nearly 200 men in L Company began to climb awkwardly over the gunwales of their transport and descend the unsteady "scramble nets," just as they had done in training so many times before.
"The nets were flapping against the side of the vessel, and the little landing craft were bouncing up and down," said Kellman.
"It was critical that you tried to get into the landing craft when it was on the rise because there was a gap the nets didn't quite reach and you had to jump down. That was something we hadn¹t practiced before. We had practiced going down the nets, but the sea was calm. This was a whole new experience."
"We circled in our landing craft for what seemed like an eternity," recalled Steve Kellman. "The battleships opened up and the bombers were going over.
Every once in a while, I looked over the side and I could see the smoke and the fire, and I thought to myself, ‘we're pounding the hell out of them and there isn¹t going to be much opposition.’
As we got in closer, we passed some yellow life rafts and I had the impression that they must have been from a plane that went down, or maybe they were from the
amphibious tanks that might have sunk; I don’t know.
These guys were floating in these rafts and, as we went by, they gave us the ‘thumbs up’ sign. We thought, ‘they don't seem very worried what the hell do we have to be worried about?’ But, as we got in closer, we could hear the machine-gun bullets hitting the sides of the vessel and the ramp in front." "While in training, we were told of all the things that would be done in order," recalled Harley Reynolds. "But to see it all come together was mind-boggling." What Reynolds saw was a heavily fortified, enemy-held beachhead that had barely been touched by Allied bombs and shells. (..) All but five of the 32 amphibious Sherman tanks had sunk, carrying their crewmen to their deaths.
There was not so much as a single bomb crater on the beach in which to hide, and the German gunners were all alert and zeroed in on the narrow strip of beach, five miles long, code-named "Omaha."

From witches to fireworks, bunnies and flying church bells - European countries have a lot of different traditions to celebrate Easter. One of them is to decorate eggs, but how safe are they really? The European Parliament has worked on different laws to ensure hens and their eggs are healthy. This includes last year's ban on the use of battery cages for hens and the use of the egg code to inform shoppers how an egg was produced. Check out our infographic for more information.
Our infographic reveals which EU countries consume the most eggs, why egg shells have a long code of figures and letters printed on them and how to break an egg Audrey Hepburn style.

A 39°C / 102°F day demands a Slurpee. Kane and Chris convinced me to get a Super-sized Slurpee to last the 1.5 hour long code review meeting.
The raspberry Slurpee was so sweet that I had to dilute it with cold water. The passionfruit was sickly ester flavouring.
After all that liquid, I felt a bit sick.
I think this was taken somewhere between 1900 and 1905. My great-grandparents.

The result of some more cleanup (floppy backups give way to zip disks give way to CD's give way to DVD's, etc, am surprised i can still read some of this stuff!)
And a "blog entry" from one who doesn't blog...
A sampling of some early algorithmic/procedural drawing that sort of led to later "scribble/doodle" -type works. It's almost (but not quite) a Lindenmayer System of sorts, tho lacking recursion, having only simple iteration. Actually it was more like a tiny "assembly language for drawing" (or perhaps akin to the Turtle Graphics of Logo) where your instruction set is along the lines of "move,turn,mark,repeat".
The "code" was generated randomly, 100 instructions long. Code shown on the right, the curves show branching that occurred during the run, results drawn on the left. (though the system suppported multiple loop points, these were all restricted to no more than a single loop - in practice, multiple loop points led to too much variety with random code, the results tended to have no "structure" to them)
45-degree angles here, later versions preferred pi/3,pi/6 for hexagonal pseudo-orthographic effects. Yet later versions gave up on fixed angles altogether, hinting at more recent scribbles.
It was a really simple system, and recently I've been wondering if my code-based works haven't perhaps gotten too complex for my own good, and I should return to simpler times. More results, less code, more "bang for the buck" so to speak. Some of that attitude is no doubt the practical result of having other things that occupy my "play" time now. :)
Marion Long is my great -great grandfather (Jennie Parker Long was his wife) his daughter Ida and her husband Clement Coder were my grandma's parents. Marion and Jennie had just returned from a visit during or right after the birth of their granddaughter, Margaret Coder.
Circa late 1800's /early 1900's - Son of Marion and Jenny Long of Cincinnati,Ohio. He is the brother of my Great Grandma Ida Long Coder. According to family record Howell was born in 1883, however the 1920 census has his estimated birth date as 1879. He married Edith Le Sourd. They had two children, Ruth born in 1905-06 and Raymond born in 1903 according to this same censes. Howell moved his family to Washington state from Ohio. He died in 1950.

In Michigan it's no longer code compliant to build your furnace and water heater so close together, but it sure is a space saver in these older homes.
This is the first version of my perfect desk idea. The idea is to have a small desk area to avoid clutter, which has worked most of the time. Also I usually take several notes to myself or do quick calculations so I put counter laminate on the top so I could write on it with whiteboard markers. Also I have my monitor raised up so I'm not hunched over all day which has greatly increased my posture and comfort, so I can have even longer coding sessions if I need to. So far I really like this, next version my desktop will be slightly larger though, but only by a few inches, also I'll be using a piece of actual whiteboard instead of the counter laminate.
