Many collectors immediately think this watch is fake -- or a complete redial. Although the luminous has been retouched, the watch and Explorer dial are authentic.
This is a seldom seen Rolex Precision 6444. I have verified it with at least two Rolex published catalogs from the 1960s (or was it the 1950s?). Anyway, it has a 34mm SS case -- and originally came on a lizard strap. Maybe this was the manual wind Rolex version of the ever-popular Tudor Ranger.
Can't get much straighter than a ruler!

I will do more micro. And thanks to Debbie. I was trying to shoot stuff from work. This is what I got. Not perfect but I run out of time. I know what to pay more attention too. That is all for today. More Micro-shoot tomorrow.
There are 3 groups of Orang-utans at Monkey World Ape Rescue Centre, including 2 different species: Bornean and Sumatran.
Monkey World is home to Europe's only Orang-utan creche, and also successfully breeds Bornean orang-utans as part of the European Endangered Species Programme (EEP).
I bought this '75 Precision Bass in 1997 or so for $500 from a guy on alt.guitar.bass. Remember newsgroups? I didn't think so.
I upgraded the pickup with a Duncan Quarter Pounder and swapped the original black pickguard for the tortoise shell one shown. I still have all the original stuff in case I ever need to sell it. (I will never sell this guitar, the good lord willin' and the crick don't rise.)
This is a photograph from the second annual running of The Downs National School Valentines 5KM Road Race and Fun run which was held at The Downs GAA club, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath on Sunday February 9th 2013 at 12:00. The race was held as a fundraiser for the Downs National School. This is a very important fundraiser for the Downs National School new building project and the parents, teachers, and friends of the Downs National School and the neighbouring community are to be congratulated with the fabulous road race and social event that they organised. There was a great family atmosphere at the event and there was a very plentiful spread of refreshments afterwards in the Clubhouse. The event has grown strongly in it's second year. Community spirit was very evident. The Downs is part of the geographically very large parish of Kinnegad, Coralstown, and Clonard and there were many local participants from the parish. Well over 400 people took part in the event. The stormy wet weather of late cleared off. Whilst there was a strong headwind on the course for the final kilometer all in all the weather was very suitable for running.
The Downs is situated just off the M4 between Kinnegad and Mullingar and is accessed from Junction/Exit 14 on the M4 and following the R156.
The race starts on the Cloghan road (this is about 1KM from the GAA Clubhouse) and proceeds clock-wise around a circuit which takes in the main Killucan road. The race passes by the finish/race-hq on it's first loop. The road surface is a mixture of standard tarmacadam and gravel trail around by the forestry. Overall, the course is flat with just two very small hills for runners to content with. The course was very accurately measured and well marshalled.
The race is Athletics Association of Ireland approved. Timing was provided by Precision Timing who, as always, provided excellent timing and event management services on their day. Their website (with results from today's race) is available at: www.precisiontiming.net/result/racetimer
We captured a large set of photographs from the race today. The full set of photographs are available in the following Flickr set: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640695491875/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
They are really long balconies and must have great views. But I really like our roof terrace - much bigger, more private and more protected from the breezes as you ascend from ground level. The guys under that great lump of slowly swinging steel must feel a bit uneasy?

1964 Fender Precision Bass. Original Sunburst finish. Rosewood fingerboard & C profile neck. Weight: 8.2 lbs. Serial: L33056. All original other than some touched up solder. original case (cosmetically the exterior of the case has seen better days but the latches & handle still work, the interior is still in good condition) This bass plays and sounds awesome. The tone is rich, warm and round which you can only get from these early Fenders. The body shows some wear around the edges & a few nicks and dings but nothing major. The neck is very slim & smooth with some of the finish having worn off. This can all be seen in the pics. The frets have very little play wear. All hardware & electronics work with no issues including the truss rod. The headstock is very clean. Set up nice and low with a great action by my technician. The pots date the 26th week of 64, the neck date is 5th July 64 C.

Banksy banks a record £102,000 at Sothebys' as bidders go into a feeding frenzy. This part of the story is rich:
Bombing Middle England - £102,000
Bomb Hugger - £31,200
Balloon Girl - £37,200
Precision Bombing (signed on the back) - no sale
Untitled / Fly - £33,600
Ballerina With Action Man Parts - £96,600
But Banksy's reaction to it all - posted on his website - was priceless.
This is a steam turbine pictured during the construction phase of a new power plant in Sheffield. The turbine still uses principles first developed by Sir Charles Parsons in 1884. The steam turbine uses high-pressure steam to turn an electricity generator at incredibly high speed. This turbine creates enough energy to generate 34 megawatts - enough electricity for approximately 40,000 homes.

i've never really liked stratocasters,
but fender makes a wicked bass guitar. here is mine.
i'm playing a show at goose lake father's day weekend
and had to get it out of the closet and wipe the dust off it.
i think the last time i played bass on stage in front of people
was back in 1997 or 1998 at the flight deck in jackson, mi.
anyway, here are a couple of fotos
it's a fender precision plus bass. i believe it was made 1990
and i purchased it in 1995. it came with a precision and a jazz
pickup. it has a blueburst finish.
The short amount of time that it actually happens, I love to watch this Bald Eagle fish. He does it with a precision I've rarely seen in anything else. Here he is soaring just above the lake, with talons open, ready to strike. I've also watched him dive from high up, positioning his wings and steadying himself at an angle, all the way down, until he hits the water. So cool to see if you never have.

ERF E10
John Graham Jnr, 'Hollywood' Arcade
Oxford, 4 September 2011
Street fairs by their nature are often very cramped behind the scenes, with the maximum possible number of attractions squeezed into the space available. This must be one of the closest bits of parking I have seen: the suzie connectors on Charlton Harris's fun house are literally touching the bumper of the ERF so it simply couldn't get any closer.
Headstock has been clear coated over the custom water slide decal, wet sanded and buffed (kinda looks satin, like the rest of the neck), drilled screw holes for the tuners and string retainer, installed the hardware, strings, set her up, and she's done! :)
The angle is adjusted until the indicator deflection agrees with the sine of the desired cutting angle.
Let me elaborate. You move the carriage until the indicator is at 0. Then you move the carriage a nice even distance such as 1.000". You read the indicator, and compare the reading to the sine of the desired angle as obtained from your calculator. If you are more than .001" away, you loosen the cross-slide, and tap it in the direction to reduce the error. While you are tapping the cross-slide to adjust the angle, watch the indicator deflection to gauge how much you are moving it. You will quickly get an idea of how sensitive the sine value is to the adjustment, and it will be easy to home in on the desired value.
