PT&P designed and manufactured bellmouth reducers, ring flanges and custom pipe spool elbows for an Ammonia Plant in Texas. Bellmouth reducers are a single piece component used to transition a large outside diameter into a smaller outside diameter piping. These reducers are used in the cooling process; the shape allows for drawing in maximum amounts of air while preventing loss. The bellmouths are fabricated from carbon steel and 304 stainless steel. They are designed for operating temperatures of 150°F with an operating pressure of 150 PSI. Dimensions are 36” NPS opened to 48” bellmouth. Tests that were performed are spot x-ray, visual and dimensional, PMI-alloys and stainless steel.
The launching of the hate balloons! This was the best part! Everyone writes down what they hate (I brought a printout of my pet peeves blog post) and launches their hate into the sky! Who among us can say they've launched their hate into the sky?
...And yes, my pet peeves list was printed on boths ides of the paper, for Maximum Hate Density(tm). Unfortunately, the balloon could only support 1 of the 2 pieces of paper (my list was 4 pages long), so I chose the paper that had the most individual Items Of Hate listed on it. I wanted to be sure to launch as much hate as possible into the sky!!
floating.
fire, hate balloons.
fire in the sky.

I pre-gamed no-shave-November with a no-shave-October. My beard is getting seriously crazy at this point. I believe it is starting to adversely affect my personal life. I'm gonna mow it the hell off in a few days.
I took this with this old Canon ring flash I've got. It's not E-TTL compatible and has no controls other than on/off, which means it can only fire at its maximum power. It's maximum power is pretty impressive--f/22 and ISO 100 to get this shot, which is about as dark as I could get without digging out my ND filters.
Oh. Also. I kind of got dumped today. Kind of. Except we weren't really dating. But now we're really not really dating. Hence not really wanting to go out and take a real picture.

“We, the Mysterons, will destroy….” And with that ominous threat, Spectrum is once again placed on high alert.
Of the Gerry Anderson shows of the 60’s, Captain Scarlet was the series I remember best. Those cool vehicles, thrilling action and suspense scenes ultimately sealed my love for science fiction.
My favourite vehicle was Spectrum’s heavily armoured V.I.P carrier, the Maximum Security Vehicle (MSV). Designed by Mike Trim, the MSV only made a couple of appearances throughout the series. You’ll likely to come across the vehicle more in publications and in toy form.

Nelson’s Anchorage and the 100 Ton Gun
The location of Nelson’s Anchorage and the 100 ton gun, at Napier of Magdala Battery, has long been regarded as strategically important because of its ability to protect the entrances to both the main commercial harbour and what was the Royal Naval Dockyard in Rosia Bay. It was in this bay that H.M.S. Victory anchored for repairs after the battle of Trafalgar in 1805, before returning the body of Admiral Lord Nelson to England for burial.
Designed and manufactured in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by Sir W.C. Armstrong in 1870 and nicknamed “The Rockbuster’ – this is the best preserved example of an early ‘Supergun’. Four were originally made and sold to the Italian Navy for mounting on their battleships. The British Government, alarmed that their important Mediterranean bases might be defenceless against long range bombardment from these Weapons, commissioned two guns each for Malta and Gibraltar.
For the era in which they were built, they were amazing state of the art and completely unique, and in fact remain so today. Two of those built still survive in the world today. One still resides in Malta and the other here in Gibraltar, at Napier of Magdala Battery.
The second gun’s location on Gibraltar was at Victoria Battery, on the site of what is now the Gibraltar Fire Station. Aspects of what was the below-ground infrastructure of that gun position still survive as well and remain in use for training by the Fire Brigade of Gibraltar.
The gun at Nelson’s Anchorage (Napier of Magdala Battery) is the one that was originally situated at the Victoria Battery, and it was moved to Napier when the gun there split during firing. The gun could originally fire one round every four minutes, but Lieutenant Colonel Ogilvie’s detachment reduced this time to two and a half minutes, which possibly contributed to the splitting of the original barrel.
The 100 Ton Gun battery at Nelson’s Anchorage was constructed here between 23 December 1878 and 31 March 1884 on the site of the old 2nd and 3rd Rosia Batteries at a cost of £35,717. Named after the governor, Lord Napier of Magdala, it remains a fascinating monument to Victorian artillery and technology.
This gun presented a typical Armstrong appearance, with a steel barrel encased in successive layers of wrought-iron, built up to form an increasingly massive bulk in the breach area. A typical product of the heavy engineering of the Victorian era, it probably represented the Zenith of its kind. The barrel comprised of a toughened steel tube in two parts. Forged and tempered in oil, with a steel ring in halves over the joint, and a series of sixteen wrought-iron coils shrunk on successively.
The 17.72 inch Rifled Muzzle loader, or 100 Ton Gun, has a barrel that is more than 32 feet long and can fire a shot that will range up to 8 miles in distance. Truly an amazing weapon in its time.
They were the largest guns of any kind that needed to be loaded through the muzzle, and were so large that it required an hydraulic system powered by steam to carry out the loading and firing operations. A steam engine pumped water into the bottom of a well, forcing an 85 ton piston up the shaft. It was this weight compressing the water beneath it which provided hydraulic pressure to move the gun. Although the official handbook states that sufficient pressure could be achieved in 35 to 50 minutes – a minimum of 3 hours is more often quoted. What seems today to be a ridiculously long response time was probably adequate for an era in which most ships still had sails.
Each gun required a crew of men to operate it, a crew of about 35 men to be exact, and after the initial head of steam was built up, the crew could fire the gun every four minutes. It took a total of 450 lbs of black prism gunpowder packed into 4 silk cartridges to propel the 2000 lb shell out of the muzzle with a speed of about 1540 ft per second. The cartridges were made of silk because this was almost entirely consumed by the explosion, leaving very little
residue in the barrel.
Like a gigantic cannon, the 100 ton gun was muzzle loaded using hydraulically powered ramrods 45 feet long. Their bristled heads were located in two armour plated loading chambers, situated on either side of the gun. In order to load, the barrel was turned first to one chamber to receive its silk cased charges of black prism gunpowder – and then traversed 180 to the opposite chamber to receive a shell.
The 100 ton gun had a 150 field of fire and was said to be capable of engaging a target up to eight miles away. This would have covered the Bay of Gibraltar – as well as the Spanish mainland towns of San Roque, Los Barrios and Algeciras. However, it is doubtful that this range was ever actually achieved. More conservative estimates put the gun’s maximum range at around five miles and the official record of armament PFG,951 lists the accurate range limit as only 6500 yards.
To impart rotation to the projectiles in flight and thereby increase their accuracy, the inside of the barrel was rifled with 28 twisting grooves. Large copper discs, called gas checks, originally used to stop exploding gases ‘leaking’ past the projectile, also served to impart the spin with the projections to engage in the rifling.
In 1863 Captain William Paliser invented a method of casting shot with the point in an iron mould. This cooled the point more rapidly and produced a brittle, but extremely hard tip – which enabled a shell from the 100 ton gun to penetrate 24.9 inches of wrought iron. A formidable prospect in an age when the best protected vessels only had armour plating 18 inches thick.
Although much about the 100 ton gun would have been familiar to a gunner in Nelson’s Navy – it also contained many revolutionary features. Just one example is that it was fired not by igniting a fuse, but with a platinum wire heated red hot by electricity from a battery. Information necessary to aim the gun was conveyed to a telephonist by range-finders situated higher up the Rock. Since the telephone had only recently been invented in 1876, this post of telephonist must have been one of the first in the British army. However, this use of ‘new’ technology contrasts vividly with the fact that commands within the battery itself were still conveyed by speaking tubes and
trumpet calls.
There is a story told about the 100 ton gun that is quite interesting too, which again speaks to us of the technologies of the time. It tells of a visit of the Inspector General in about 1902. Reportedly they were preparing to fire five rounds at a full charge and on their first try, the tube was all that fired. Further tries on their part as well as misfire drills were attempted but nothing seemed to work. At the end of the waiting time, which was thirty minutes, the General requested that a volunteer step forward and be put down the gun and fasten a shell extractor to the unfired projectile so that it could be removed.
There was quite a long pause prior to a tall thin soldier’s stepping forward and stripping to the waist to be lowered into the gun. He was safely removed from the gun and had completed the task for which he entered it, and it is said that he was, on the spot, promoted to bombardier. Not the most prolific of rewards for having risked life and limb, but certainly one that changed his life! All in all, the 100 ton gun at Nelson’s Anchorage is certainly well worth a visit, a testament to another, far more violent and uncertain time, when the Rock was unbreachable and the supremacy of the Royal Navy was tested and retested and not found to be wanting.

This was the most eclipse we got here in San Diego.
This was shot at effective 1,200mm with a Baader solar filter. All of my long shots turned out to be crap. Opinions vary as to whether the softness was atmospheric distortion or something wrong with the equipment setup. Not happy about it.
This image is best viewed by selecting "All Sizes" and then selecting "Original".
This maximum resolution composite satellite image of parts of Studio Village and surrounding area, was created using 63 screen-shots of Google Satellite Maps. This image was created to highlight the extreme fire hazard that exists in this area, because there is NO fire-break between the bushland and the adjacent houses. The worst of this is "Terraces on the Park" (the 3 rows of terracotta, brown and gray roofs in the other two images) and the adjacent houses in Crestridge Cres., where the bush meanders though the complex and the trees are in direct contact with the buildings and the timbers of the buildings. This is further exacerbated by a single narrow entry/exit point in Crestridge Cres., that only permits one car to exit or enter at a time. This turns this complex of 90 three bedroom units with over 400 residents into a death-trap with no means of escape or of fighting the fire, in the event of a fire-storm.
This is a disaster -- just waiting to happen. A fire-storm raging through this area, has the potential of producing a greater death-toll here, than all the combined fires in Victoria, last summer. We have had a wet autumn and early winter, that has spawned lots of new growth and a large amount of fuel and we appear to be entering into possibly the driest and hottest spring and summer. All this adds up to a spring and summer of extreme fire danger.
If we wish to avert this disaster... we urgently need to have something done that will substantially lessen the danger. We urgently need to have a 20 to 30 meter fire-break cleared between the houses and the bush and the total removal of trees and bushes in and around Terraces on the Park, in order to give fire-fighters access to fight any fires.
I have written to the government, the council and the fire department and i am waiting for a response. I have also taken about 150 photos that show more detail of the problem... these photos are all found in the "Terraces on the Park Community set" and are available in large format. Please feel free to download and comment on any images. Please also alert your friends and neighbours in the area and send copies of photos and images to your friends, neighbours, relevant authorities and the media.
