To help enhance service reliability for customers, Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L) is continuing construction work this summer and throughout the remainder of 2016 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects totaling approximately $387 million in its northern and central New Jersey service areas.
Power outages caused last year by squirrels, raccoons and other curious animals getting into Consumers Energy’s substations dropped by more than 50 percent as construction work continues across the state to keep animals out and the lights on.
Last weekend the motorcycle section of the Vintage Car Club of NZ ran a reliability trial and invited the Canterbury Classic Trials group to put on a demonstration and also take part in their event. The trials area also attracted members from the Vintage Club on suitable machines who tried the obstacles. These were largely man-made and included pallets (Thanks Palletmakers in ChCh), fence posts, tyres, a bank, tree stump, and logs. Due to the range of machines lined up for the reliability trial these sections were easier and included tight turns, tree roots, and banks. As well as trials bikes other contenders included trail bikes, 1970’s Vespa and Honda scooters, 1960's Royal Enfield and BMW motorcycles , 1937 Ariel, 1927 AJS, 1924 Triumph, as well as a Velosolex. A laid back and fun day mixing two groups both interested in classic motorcycles. Enjoy the photos.
Squirrels, raccoons and other animals will have a more difficult time getting into Consumers Energy’s substations and disrupting power because of control measures being put in place in Michigan. Hard plastic caps cover energized equipment to keep animals from making electrical contact.
I've been doing experiments on different films on different compact cameras as I will be heading to India for a photographic tour (excited!).
I own Olympus Mju II, Natura Classica and Lomo LCA which all qualify as good quality compact cameras. The Natura will probably rank first, then Mju, then LCA (in terms of reliability for general photo records and as back up for my big SLR or whatever...)
The other trial I am doing is to PUSH iso400 films to 1600 and see whether I am happy with the results, as I don't really want to go through the trouble of getting manual hand searches by each customs which I am going through.
Will be updating here.

Slightly edited as it came out a bit blurred on my camera..
This was a very unexpected spot, I hadn't seen a 25 for over a year, and first generation models are known to be incredibly hard to come by now. This metallic colour suited these cars down to the ground, ultimately I think the main reason they have mostly vanished was down to reliability, mixed with a terminal low value, any complicated repairs leading to the cars demise. This one looked very clean, faded plastics are a hallmark of many 80s cars, and apart from that, it was lovely. This could be one owner, spotted where it was originally registered! Didn't see any clues as to what dealership it came from though.

The 501 reliability and strength were unchanged in the sport version too, and this was the basis for the car tuning. One of the most famous tuners was the Milanese technician Eugenio Silvani, who designed just for the 501 model a cylinder head modification with the conversion of the distribution from side valves to head valves. The famous “Superculasse Silvani” cylinder head was sold as a performing kit with all the gaskets, manifolds and valve shafts necessary for the fitting; it had a large diffusion thanks to its easy fitting. The “Superculasse Silvani” gave more power, acceleration and running flexibility to the engine.
The Fiat 501 S shown in the museum was apparently ordered by the Fiat agents in Bombay for the maharajah of Patiala and is fitted with the “Superculasse Silvani”. The body has been rebuilt in the Seventies.

SDOT is repaving Roosevelt Way NE between Fuhrman Ave NE and NE 65th Street and adding safety improvements this fall 2015 to spring 2016. Along with meeting Seattle’s basic maintenance needs, we are adding a one-way protected bike lane (PBL) on the west side of Roosevelt Way NE, transit reliability improvements and pedestrian improvements.
Protected bike lanes physically separate people riding bikes from people driving and are distinct from the sidewalk, adding predictability for all travelers. PBLs are especially attractive to people who might be willing to bike but are concerned about safety. Better bike lanes can’t solve every problem, but they are one of many tools Seattle can deploy provide safer, more comfortable facilities to get from one place to another. PBLs can also to attract new businesses that employ talented workers and for people who prefer to live, work, study and play in the University District and Roosevelt neighborhoods.

FirstEnergy expects to invest about $371 million in 2017 on distribution and transmission infrastructure projects to help enhance reliability for customers in the Ohio Edison service territory. Major projects scheduled include building new substations and transmission lines, installing equipment in existing substations, adding remote control equipment on circuits, and the inspection and replacement of utility poles.
Pictured: Similar work was completed last year, including installing large transformers and breakers at a substation in West Akron and rebuilding a 69-kilovolt transmission line in the Medina area.
Penelec, a FirstEnergy utility, is installing laptop computers on more than 400 line trucks and support vehicles to enhance service and manage repair work more efficiently. Using the new laptops will help crews save time by viewing work orders electronically rather than writing the information down when radioed or phoned in from the company’s dispatching office. It is anticipated the new equipment will help company personnel calculate more precise estimated restoration times, particularly during large-scale outages, because dispatchers can immediately see when crews are on site and engaged in repairs.

Dario Paulino Manjate, is a Mozambican artist, currently living in South Africa, who began painting and drawing as early as he can remember. He relocated to Alexandra Township in South Africa during the year of 1993. It was here where Dario grew to love art and pushed himself to pursue a career as a professional artist. Dario met and worked with Mr. Steve Mavusu, Mr. Mavusu was an art teacher at Thusong Youth Centre during this period. Under Mr. Mavusu’s guidance Dario developed his artistic skills in a number of different mediums from oil to watercolour and acrylic painting as well as the medium he is known for today: collage.
Dario participated in various community projects such as, “Work To Win,” an environmental awareness project which included several art murals created to uplift his surrounding township community. These particular pieces focused on a topic very close to the artist’s heart. They created awareness around the dangers of pollution and global warming. Dario enrolled at Artists Proof Studio in 1998 to further his artistic skills by studying the techniques of printmaking such as: dry-point; lino cut; silkscreen and mono-type to name a few. Dario’s curriculum vitae includes many commissioned pieces by a variety of organizations and corporate companies. He continues to bring his unique approach to the formation of his collages and thus his work is sought after for its extraordinary qualities.
Statement
The medium I work with is collage. I have played around and explored this medium, learning the limits that I can push it to. My artworks are unique in that unlike most collage artists I do not tear my paper and build an image out of colour tones, I cut out every piece. I start by tearing and using material to activate the canvas, through my process I discovered that building my images out of cut out objects creates a beautiful harmony between my medium and my concept.
I use recycled magazines as my source, as I feel this specific paper gives me the quality and subject matter I require. The glossy look and feel of the paper along with the message the magazines carry lends to the overall theme of my art.
Conceptually my art breaks down and unpacks the very foundations our society is built on today. By physically cutting out and removing objects from their intended context I begin to build up profiles and identities for my subjects.
Our society today is built around consumerism. A person is no longer known by who they characteristically are but rather by what they possess. Humanity is constructed from the very items it creates.
From afar these portraits look beautiful, however, upon closer inspection, the volume of material items begins to overwhelm, creating an atmosphere of obsession and greed. This characteristic of the artwork’s make up reveals the grotesque nature of what is seen as beautiful in today’s time. By using magazine cut outs I gain the effect of glossy surfaces, which begins to reflect on the concept of how appealing wealth is and yet how fragile its reliability is.
When you look at my art I require my audience to look at their lives and what they use to identify and define who they are. To reflect on how they exhibit themselves to the public eye.
To help enhance the reliability of its system, Penelec expects to replace or repair nearly 2,300 wooden utility poles this year as part of the company’s annual inspection program. The poles would stretch about 28 miles if laid end to end.
The inspections feature thermographic cameras and serve to detect potential problems on wires and other equipment that cannot be observed during regular visual inspections.

1967 Yamaha TD1C For sale
There was no doubt that Yamaha got a few things wrong with its first production racers, the TD1-A and TD-1B. The ‘B’ went some way towards correcting these, with a larger 25mm crankshaft and a porous chrome plating applied to the cylinder bores to retain oil and increase engine life. With changes to port timing, the engine now revved to 10,000 and gave better all-round performance, but there were still reliability problems. Engine mounts cracked, the clutch was still a very fragile affair and the chrome cylinder lining would flake off, snagging the rings. However the TD1-C, announced for the 1967 season, was represented a quantum leap in the vital missing ingredient – reliability.
This example was restored by Canadian racer & restoration expert Dave Lloyd and then acquired by the current owner. Its an excellent example that has been on display in his collection for over a decade. Engine #TD1-C000113, frame #T1-334.

From Edmunds (http://www.edmunds.com/honda/accord/2009/review.html) -
For two decades now, there have been two perennial no-brainer choices for a midsize family sedan: the Honda Accord and the Toyota Camry. Both have legions of satisfied owners and top reputations for reliability and safety. Deciding between the two often came down to this: If you wanted a softly sprung car with superior isolation, the Camry was the way to go -- and if you wanted a sporty ride and could live with a tad less refinement, the Accord was the sedan of choice. There's still some truth to this adage for 2009, but things have changed rapidly in the midsize sedan segment. For one thing, the Accord has grown bigger and softer with its latest redesign; for another, the competition has caught up.
Here's how things shake out for the Accord in today's family sedan free-for-all. The Honda is now roughly the fourth-sportiest entrant, by our count, trailing the canyon-king Nissan Altima, the upsized but still capable Mazda 6 and the often-overlooked Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan twins. It's also still hampered by traditional Honda foibles like elevated road noise and exaggerated brake pedal vibration during hard stops. Performance is likewise uninspiring -- while the upgraded 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the EX is pleasant, the base engine is merely adequate, and the top-of-the-line 3.5-liter V6 is overmatched in terms of acceleration by many rival six-cylinder engines.
Don't get us wrong -- the 2009 Honda Accord remains an appealing car, for a variety of reasons. First of all, it's got an ace up its sleeve that most competitors don't: its sterling reputation for reliability. Also, the Accord has ballooned to such a degree that the EPA classifies it as a "large car," and it shows in the commodious cabin, which boasts one of the most accommodating backseats of any family sedan. The center stack is undeniably button-happy, but its premium look and feel evokes luxury sedans such as the Infiniti M series. Like most Hondas, the Accord feels extraordinarily well constructed, and its interior materials are a cut above the rival Camry's. Moreover, that reputation for reliability pays off when it's time to sell, as the Accord boasts one of the best resale values around.
The Accord is also one of the few family sedans that's available in a coupe body style, and we should note that the coupe is substantially sportier than the workaday sedan, particularly with the optional V6 and coupe-exclusive six-speed manual. Whichever style you prefer, the Accord remains a smart choice on the strength of its proven track record. However, unlike Accords of the past, it doesn't really elevate itself above the competition once you get behind the wheel. As before, you're not going to go wrong with the Accord, but we'd advise taking a close look at the above-mentioned competitors, along with the Hyundai Sonata and much improved Chevrolet Malibu before making your decision.
Typically, specialized contractors perform the pole inspections for FirstEnergy utilities, including Penelec. As part of the process, a visual inspection is completed, along with inspecting the pole to determine if the interior is sound. Some poles can be reinforced rather than replaced. One of the most common reinforcement techniques is to snug a C-shaped steel beam against the pole, jackhammer the beam into the ground, and secure it to the pole with tight, metal bands.
