This is what happens when you move to (or visit) the South! Ha. Just playing. Last time I was in Gainesville, Heather, Bridey and I were driving around in Heather's car. She opened the trunk for something and lo and behold-- there's Tom's bb or pellet gun. OF course Heather had to show us how to shoot it! HAHA. And no, I don't condone gun violence!

English Electric DP1, commonly known as Deltic, was a prototype 3,300 hp (2,500 kW) demonstrator locomotive employing two Napier Deltic engines, built by English Electric in 1955.
The high power of the locomotive at an acceptably low axleload resulted in 22 similar locomotives being ordered by British Railways for use on East Coast Main Line express passenger services; the serial production of which became the British Rail Class 55.
The locomotive first saw service on the London Midland Region of British Railways in 1955, generally operating fast London to Liverpool freight trains; it was withdrawn and after modifications re-entered services in 1956. Tests were carried out on the Settle to Carlisle line in August/September 1956, after which it operated passenger trains, The Shamrock and The Merseyside Express, between London and Liverpool, followed by London-Carlisle trains, and in 1957, returning to London-Liverpool trains. The region's chief mechanical and electrical engineer, J.F.Harrison, rejected the design, believing high-speed engines (i.e. 1500rpm) unsuitable for railway applications.
In 1957, Gerry Fiennes, the line traffic manager on the former Great Northern route out of London King's Cross station, was seeking high power locomotives to run services on the East Coast Main Line, having found the 2000 hp English Electric type 4 locomotives produced under the 1955 modernisation plan lacking sufficient power for his planned timings; as a consequence he proposed using 'Deltic' type locomotives on the line. Objections to the order included those arising from: a limited permitted top speed due to the mass of the locomotive; the potential for the order to delay a proposed (1957) electrification scheme of the line; as well the size which required modifications to the King's Cross platforms. An order was placed in 1959 for 22 Class 55s to replace 55 steam locomotives.
In March 1961 DP1 was withdrawn after a serious powerplant failure; plans to test it in Canada fell through, and the locomotive was donated in 1963 to the Science Museum, South Kensington and placed on public display.
In October 1993, it was transferred to the National Railway Museum, York. It then moved to the National Railway Museum Shildon.
Tuscaloosa Moves on. Traffic moves in the city as crews work to clean up the damage from the April 27, 2011 tornado.
This is a picture of the tornado damage that my hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama took on April 27, 2011. These images have not been edited, some have been cropped. All were taken from a moving vehicle.
A long exposure shot in black and white. This is Durham Cathedral grounds at 2 in the morning. Yes it is me. I moved during the shot and I like it. The ones where I managed to stay still aren't as good.

A new chapter for Pataphysical Studios started today, as we moved the 'Pataphysical Slot Machine to a new home. Our poetic oracle made its maiden journey to the hilltop ranch of Drs. Canard and Figurine, after six years of art incubation in Dr. Rindbrain’s backyard.
The move went very smoothly, with a fine crew of goggled pataphysicians on hand. It took us about four hours to load, unload and set up the exhibit, on a balmy Saturday afternoon. Getting the electronics connected took about an hour — and we got it all working, with a bit of soldering and ritual incantations.
We celebrated this historic occasion with a shot of absinthe and lots of good cheer. Ubu and the Slot Machine seem to fit right in their new home: a lovely guest room with a private entrance, overlooking an idyllic garden with views of the bay.
We plan to host viewing parties and open studios every few months, so others in our community can get to experience the Slot Machine and its magical wonderboxes. Long live Ubu!

Essendon Recreation Reserve, colloquially known as Windy Hill, Located on Napier Street in Essendon between Raleigh Street and Brewster Street. It is best known has being the home of the Essendon Football Club in the Victorian (Later Australian) Football League (VFL/AFL) with home matches being played here between 1922 and 1991 when they were transferred to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). After this the ground continued to be used as an administration and training base until a new facility at Tullamarine was completed in 2013.
The ground dates back to the 1880s and was the home of the Essendon Cricket Club with the Essendon Bowls Club occupying a corner of the site later in the decade. Despite the Essendon Football Club dating from 1872 and being a foundation club in the VFL from 1897 they did not play regular matches at this site - instead being based at the former East Melbourne Cricket Ground which was located on Jolimont Road near the MCG.
Between 1900 and 1921 the Essendon Town Football Club played matches here as part of the Victorian Football Association (VFA) which the Essendon Football Club were part of prior to the formation of the VFL. In 1921 the East Melbourne Ground was acquired by the Victorian Railways for expansion of the Jolimont Yard to build what were known as the 'Collingwood Sidings'. This forced a move of the Essendon VFL Club to the Essendon Reserve, in part helped by the local council funding new facilities. The Essendon Town VFA club disbanded following declining support and the loss of its home ground.
Today Essondon's team in the current VFL (an amalgam of the old VFA, Victorian State League and AFL Reserves) continue to play at Windy Hill.
An example of the top of a Semi-Prism Pavement Light constructed by the Hayward Brothers.
Although Hayward Brothers was formed around 1848 (from the acquisition of an established ironmonger’s business), the Hayward family had had an established business (glazing and glass-cutting in Cheapside) for the previous 60 years (and had been living in London for 200 years before that). 1857 saw the premises move fully from Blackfriars Road to Union Street, and shortly after they developed iron pavement lights (with rough cast glass). 1871, and Hayward Brothers patented these semi-prism pavement lights - allowing light to be reflected 90 degrees and thus allowing cellars to be lit without exposing it to the outside or allowing the risk of fire or fumes. The design proved to be a big success, and the company lasted until the 1970s.

E depois da tempestade… fazem-se balanços!
O terrível sismo que sacudiu o Japão e cujas consequências ainda estão por determinar em pleno, com algumas das suas centrais nucleares a estarem em sérios ricos de ruptura, afectou todo o mundo.
E, naquilo que pode aparentar ser um egoísmo terrível, também nós, os fotógrafos, fomos afectados, mesmo que neste cantinho do outro lado do mundo.
Veja-se este artigo com data de 16 de Março, retirado da página da Adorama, uma loja on-line especializada em equipamento fotográfico:
UPDATED: Japan Photo Industry Affected by Earthquake and Tsunami
As of this writing, it looks like there were no serious injuries or fatalities among employees of Japanese camera and consumer electronics companies. We will continue to monitor the situation and update this report as needed.
With scores of factories and corporate headquarters around the country, the Japanese photo industry has been severely disrupted by Friday's earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear crisis.
While most companies report that they are still assessing the damage caused by the most powerful quake in Japanese history, it seems that there have been no deaths, and injuries to camera company employees. Structural damage to company facilities vary. Most companies are subject to rolling blackouts that are being imposed by the Japanese power authorities due to the evolving crisis at the nuclear power plants.
The following is an updated run-down of how the quake has effected manufacturers of photographic and other related products.
Epson announced that the Color Imaging Exhibition trade show, which was planned for March 19-21 in Tokyo, has been cancelled due to the crisis. Epson reports that while no casualties were reported at its facilities, one of its factories was hit by a one-meter tsunami, while three other facilities have been temporarily shut due to rolling blackouts as a result of the quake. Two buildings that are within 16km from the Fukushima nuclear plant have sustained some damage and are being shut for now.
Sony was hardest hit. Japan's biggest exporter of consumer electronics, and a growing player in the still photography world, was forced to stop operations at ten factories and two research centers due to quake-related damage and power outages caused by emergencies at nuclear power plants. 1,000 Sony employees reportedly took shelter on the second floor of a nearby chemical products factory.
Nikon has confirmed light injuries to some of its employees but no serious or fatal injuries. Nikon's Sendai factory, which manufactures the D3S, D3X, D700 and F6, has been forced to close due to damage to equipment and buildings. Work at at least three other facilities has been temporarily suspended so the company can assess damage.
Canon has suspended operations at eight factories located in Northern Japan, and reports at least 15 employees were injured. The company said it may move some production to other factories that weren't damaged.
Olympus's photographic division was not affected by the quake, but some emplyees at other locations sustained minor injuries, possibly in the company's endoscopy-related business. Japanese-language press releases indicate that a repair facility is expected to resume operations in 2-4 weeks.
A Sigma employee tweeted that there has been some damage to machinery and the building at Sigma's Aizu factory, but no injuries. Due to the rolling blackouts, Sigma has decided to suspend operations in two of its facilities.
Ricoh reports no injuries. Five of its facilities have stopped operations and four have no set plan to reopen.
Fujifilm reports that its Taiwa-Cho factory, which is located 20 miles from Sendai, was damaged by the quake, but fortunately none of the workers were reported injured. Production of the FinePix X100, which was being done at that factory, has been temporarily stopped and delays can be expected for this highly-anticipated camera. The company says the rest of its operation is not affected.
Hoya Corporation, which owns Pentax, reports that several employees were slightly injured but none seriously. Some production facilities were damaged, although the company is still trying to assess. It isn't known how the camera and lens facilities have been effeccted but due to traffic problems and blackouts, production has been disrupted.
Casio reports no major injuries, and the company is currently trying to ascertain the condition of its facilities. In the meantime, business activities are expected to be disrupted due to rolling blackouts.
In a statement, Tamron reports no structural damage or injuries, but the rolling blackouts and severely curtailed train service have caused the company to close its facilities for at least the next few days.
Panasonic reports minor injuries in one of its northern Japan factories, in Fukushima, where production of Lumix digital cameras has been suspended. The company is evaluating damage and says the long-term effect is still being determined.
Sandisk, whose facilities are 500 miles from the epicenter, appears to have escaped unharmed. The factories were shut immediately after the quake, but resumed opearations by Friday morning.
However, due to possible meltdowns at several of Japan's nuclear reactors, the Japanese government has instituted rolling blackouts, which are disrupting companies even if they were not otherwise affected by the quake or tzunami.
The tsunami has also destroyed many freighter ships, some of which may have been preparing to ship photographic equipment to destinations around the world. This situation is currently being assessed by the companies, but it is likely there will be shortages of some gear as a result.
Epson, Canon, Panasonic, Sony, Ricoh and Nikon have all reported that they have donated hundreds of millions of Yen to the relief effort and are contributing in other tactical ways to help survivors.
This report was based on information published by TIPA, Amateur Photographer, Reuters, and statements from several manufacturers.
