An outstanding architectural monument of mature classicism. The building is almost square in plan, made of brick with the use of white stone. The one-apse temple ends with a low dome rotunda. Lvov`s (The architect of this Temple) characteristic bright dome space is separated from the rest of the premises by columns. On three sides, the church is surrounded by Tuscan porticoes with pediments. On the western side, a slender cylindrical bell tower, crowned with three-quarter columns and a ringing resonator, is set on the portalization of the portico.
A real beauty, a tenor (4 string) National Resonator Guitar, built sometime in the '30's. Wonderful craftmanship, and it really sounded sweet!
Sentient Combat Automaton specializing in close quarters brawling. Diceros Bolide is the most aggressive and savage member of the Vanguard. It uses the seismic resonators on arms and legs to cause small earthquakes, staggering targets. It's morning star fists can read and return the resonant frequency of anything they contact, enabling Bolide to rend even the toughest armor. Bolide is also equipped with a small jump jet on its back to compensate for its less agile frame. To calm it's aggressive nature, Bolide is often paired with calmer automatons such as Omen.
Build notes: Got another one of these guys. Believe it or not, this guy is nothing like the original concept that I was planning on using. He was originally going to be a ninja, then a sniper (a concept that became Omen). I came up with the idea of the resonator fists, and here we are. The resonator fist concept is something I've been wanting to do since 2016, back when I was making MRL mechs.
The actual build of this guy is just a taller variation of the frame I used on Salvo and Phantasm, though obviously the lower sections of the limbs are pretty different.
Like the other members of Vanguard, Diceros Bolide is named after an animal genus (a rhino).

Flickr VIDEO - 90 seconds - playing a song for my cat on my guitar - missing badly a clarinet by my side ... - 45 years ago, 1965, I played this little piece on my Banjo together with a clarinetist; in the middle of the night in a dark big sports arena; we climbed into a BOXING ring, built up already for a fight, which should start on the next day. our little dixieland band in the middle of the night in that large dark sports hall - spending a sound like a cathedral; step by step a crowd gathered around us, leaving an official meeting nearby - and quietly listened to us. I will never forget that moody moments. now I am glad: a female clarinetist appeared and on my last party I could play this song again, together with her - and the large dark sports arena came in my mind again ...

Marimba is an African name for the xylophone. The orchestral marimba, with metal resonators, was developed in the United States in the early 20th century. Players may hold two sticks in each hand to play up to four notes at a time.
-- Encyclopaedia Britannica
-----------
"There are vast differences in sound between the Xylophone, Marimba and Vibraphone. The former is more of a concert instrument and can be played with soft/muffled sticks or hard sticks, whereas the Marimba lends itself to 'softer' more romantic music; Vibes are more metallic, and can allow strong sustaining. The Marimba above is unusual, in that the resonators for the treble notes are not shorter.
"Incidentally, it looks like a vibraphone (metallic notes) in the background, near the lecturn/pulpit."

2008 Turkey Run Car Show
I picked up my new 1969 Dodge Super Bee from Jack Ramsey Motors in Plant City, Florida, on Monday, October 28, 1968. Even though it was forty-two years ago, I remember that day like it was yesterday. I was living in Miami but purchased the car in Plant City, FL. My parents were living in St Petersburg, so I drove up and spent the weekend with them. That Monday, the three of us went to pick up my new car. We arrived early in the morning. The car had only arrived from the factory Saturday so they were still cleaning it up. I paid $4,786.39 for my new Super Bee, which was a lot of money back then.
Just a little auto industry history: in the 60’s car companies made a big deal out of announcing their new cars. Back then most middle class families purchased a new car at least every three years. Each year the dealers’ hid new cars from the public until the official new model “reveal” day. I remember each year getting with my car crazy friends to search for a sneak peak of new cars before the official ”reveal” date.
Since I ordered the ‘69 Super Bee sight unseen I was really pleasantly surprised with the fresh air hood scoops. I ordered the exterior in Silver Metallic color and burgundy interior but it arrived with white seats. I didn’t much like the white seats but I didn’t bring it up. I was so excited, I let it go. It also had a scratch by the left side rear view mirror. The HEMI was so tight that it would hardly idle. Chrysler put two mufflers plus two resonators for a total of four mufflers. This muted the exhaust so all you could hear was the tapping of the solid lifters and a loud whooshing sound when you floored it. The silver metallic (A2) color was rare. It was an extra cost option. They actually pulled the car off the production line and painted the car by hand. The car is silver in the direct sun but turns green in the shade.
When I initially ordered the car, I wanted a coupe because it was a hundred pounds lighter. But the dealer told me if I didn’t get a hard top, it would really hurt resale value when I sold the car. So I went ahead and followed the dealer’s advice and got the hardtop. I now find that funny after owning the car for 42 years. Today, the coups are worth more than the hard tops. Oh well, it’s still a pretty car.
Back in the day, insurance costs were high for muscle cars. Being billed as a young male driver with one speeding ticket, I figured my insurance cost for a high performance car could have been a deal breaker. And when I did start shopping around for cars, I found that the monthly insurance payments for a high performance car would cost more than new car payments.
Dodge listed the car name as Dodge Coronet with Super Bee on the second line. Apparently cars listed as Coronet were not thought of as muscle cars by the insurance companies. And Super Bees were totally under the insurance radar. The insurance agent didn’t even ask what size motor the car had. All that being said, we put the car in my Mother’s name and listed me as a part-time driver. By listing me as a part-time driver and the car not being listed as a high performance car lowered my yearly insurance payments from $2,000 a year to $600. Life was good in my Dodge Coronet ”Super Bee”.
There just weren’t that many Super Bees sold compared to Road Runners or Chevelles. Although, now I would think the Super Bee was one of the best-selling cars ever by the number of people that come up to me and relate stories about their Super Bees.
Why did I purchase a HEMI Super Bee? Well, I had been a Chrysler fan from day one. When I was fourteen, I would ride my motorcycle to Daytona and watch stock car racing. In 1968 the HEMI ruled NASCAR speedways. My first car was a 1964 Valiant with a slant 6 and 3 speed on the column. My second, a 1965 Dodge Dart GT with a 273 V8 with a four speed transmission (this car came with a resonator that made the exhaust sound great). And my third, a 1967 Dodge Dart GTS 340 V8 with a four speed transmission (this was a great car with better weight distribution than the Bee). I now regret selling any of these cars. This is ironic because I hear the same thing about old cars when people find out I kept the Bee. So I was a Dodge guy when Plymouth was the dominant Chrysler division. I would probably have gotten a 440 but it wasn’t offered in 1968. I am so glad they didn’t because the HEMI is a great motor. Considering my car-buying history a HEMI Bee was a natural progression.
My life with the Bee: I immediately got rid of the steel wheels with the dog-dish hub caps. Next I put on 2 ½ inch hooker headers. This ended up being a big mistake as they were a constant problem. They rattled against the car body and created unfixable exhaust leaks. And I really couldn’t tell any difference in power.
August 1969, I enlisted in the Army and went overseas for 18 months. I left the Bee with my Mother, who parked it outside her apartment building in the intense Florida sun. When I returned from the Army, the beautiful silver paint on the Bee looked like gray primer. I could wax it but it would stay shiny for only three days. So I repainted it, choosing red because it looked better with the white seats. All my other Darts had been red. One side note about the white seats; they are a pain. They show dirt and have to be constantly cleaned.
I used to drag race on the streets--something I am not proud of today. I could outrun most cars. Many would take me off the line but I would run them down before the end of the quarter mile. Tires were bias ply Redline F70 Firestones, later G70 Goodyear Polyglass. To say they weren’t up to the task of handling 425+ horse power is a true understatement. The car has a 3.54:1 Dana rear end, a low ratio by today’s standards, but the highest offered at that time. It runs 4,200 RPMs at 80 mph. The motor feels like it would go well past 6,000 rpms, but that’s where I cut it off. I must not have strained the HEMI because I drove it for 99,000 miles without any serious mechanical problems. At first, plug fouling was a problem that I corrected with electronic ignition. The HEMI was hard to start because of the two four carburetors mated to a mechanical fuel pump. I would crank and crank until the motor started. This would run the battery down. Then when the motor finally started the charging system would boil the acid out of the battery. What a mess. An electric pump fixed this.
For the next 20 years, I used the car for daily transportation. I dated, got married, took my wife to the hospital to deliver my daughter, all in this car. I’d used it to buy groceries, pull a camper, go on vacations, and go to work, all without fault. By the end of the 80’s the car was really showing its age.
Those 20 years of daily use left it in need of a serious fix up. The HEMI was still running well but the paint was faded, minor rust damage around the rear window, small body dents and under the hood was a real disaster. High gas prices and family expenses dictated that I park the Bee.
During the 90’s the Bee mostly sat outside in the yard. But I never forgot about her. I spent my spare time going to car shows and buying parts. There wasn’t any rhyme or reason--if it fit, I’d buy it. All these parts filled the largest room in my house. I knew I would restore the Bee sooner or later.
I live on a busy street. People would constantly stop by and inquire about the car. I was embarrassed that I’d let it get in such disrepair so I moved it into the garage. But the Bee’s reputation lived on. Those who had seen the car before I stored it would tell others, and eventually my Coronet Super Bee took on the status of a mythical rumor which spread throughout middle Georgia. I knew this because car enthusiasts were still showing up at my door. Jeff Dimery was one of the many that kept coming back. He runs a small auto restoration business in Macon, GA.
Time passed and my life changed. I was now at the point in my life when I was ready to “fix up” the Super Bee. It could have been my new wife not being impressed with car doors under the bed or the fuel line on the shelf rather than a car with fuel in it. Anyway, I made every mistake you can imagine trying to fix my car on the cheap.
I first took the Bee to the best local body shop in Milledgeville. But after they took the car apart and wasted two years, they asked for twice the money we originally agreed to. I learned that body shops are not car restoration specialists. Next, I took it to a local restorer. That was another lesson learned and two more years. What I did learn was that although many claim to be auto restoration specialists, few really are.
I finally admitted the Bee needed more than a repainting job and took it to Jeff Dimery. By the time he got it, the Bee was nothing short of complete disaster. Parts had been lost and everything was boxed in bits and pieces. Jeff spent four years putting the Super Bee back together. I’ll also admit that he and I had our ups and downs along the way, but all in all I was happy. I will say I did one thing correctly the first time and that concerned the Hemi itself. I took the Hemi to Shacklett Automotive in Nashville, TN to be rebuilt. It runs great and their dyno says it put out over 550 hp on 93 octane gas.
It was now November 26, 2008, the Bee was completely restored and in one piece. Now that she’s back together I’m having a blast driving the car. Our first big trip was to the muscle car show in Carlisle, PA. We drove the Bee and it was so much fun. We did have a problem with the Bee not wanting to leave Carlisle. That is when I met Dennis Kohr of Kohrs Restorations (this meeting was one of the best things to happen to the Bee).
I enjoy driving the Bee to car shows and I always love telling people about my car. Wherever I go, people come over to tell me about their cars while they enjoy looking at my Bee. In retrospect, I get to meet so many new friends, both young and old, so that my Super Bee is always giving more back than I ever invested.
My future plans are to drive my Bee and have fun. I will admit that driving does put wear on the old girl. So after another three or four year, I would love to have it restored by someone like Kohrs Restorations, a shop that only does Mopar muscle cars. One day I hope to compete at the big car shows but this will also mean the Bee will no longer be driven but trailered. And then my Bee and I will enter a new stage of our lives.

Sand Cricket (Brachytrupes megacephalus) described by Lefebvre (1827) on specimens from Sicily, is a south Mediterranean species found in sandy environments of Sicily, Aeolian Islands, Maltese Islands, southern Sardinia, North Africa (included the Saharan oases). Due to its current scarcity in Europe, this species has been included in the Annexes II and IV of EU Directive 92/43 as species requiring strict protection.
It is a burrowing vegetarian animal that lives in tunnels which are superficial and articulated in spring but deeper and linear in winter. Particularly impressive is the pattern of sand expulsion during the tunnel excavation. This action produces typical little, irregular sandy cones reaching 13-15 cm in height) and visible above ground; the sand expelled on the surface from inside closes the tunnel during the underground activity of the animal.
Sand Crickets have an annual life cycle with a breeding season between mid-March and late April. Males around sunset attract females (1-2 in the same evening) to their lair by an intense sound produced by rubbing special ribs against each other located on the fore wings. Male calls are amplified by a small opening at the entrance of the lair which acts as a resonator. Females are silent and wait in their lairs The sound is ear-piercing and audible at a considerable distance. The female, moving away from her burrow, is able to reach a male performing his calling song by phonotaxis.
Mating normally occurs within the male's burrow.

The Epinette des Vosges is a traditional zither from the Vosges mountains of eastern France. It has two melody and three drone strings, 17 frets and is 50-60 cm long (early versions had four strings, 14 frets and were 40-50 cm long). It is played lying on a table in front of the musician using either the fingers or small stick in the right hand Sometimes the strings are fretted with a smooth stick or reed, called a noteur in the left hand to produce a sliding metallic sound.
Ths instrument was made in France in the 19th century. It has five strings and 17 frets.
Epinettes des Vosges are assigned the number 314.122-4 in the Hornbostel-Sachs classification of musical instruments ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornbostel-Sachs ), indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
31 = Simple Chordophones. Instruments which are in essence simply a string or strings and a string bearer
314 = Board Zither. Instrument uses a string bearer that is shaped like a board, or is the ground.
314.1 = Instrument with strings parallel to the string bearer.
314.12 = Instrument has a resonator.
314.122 = Box Zither. Instrument has a resonator made from slats.
314.122-4 = Strings are caused to vibrate by hammers or beaters.

To most people, the word dobro means a wooden resonator guitar, which it is...but it is also a brand of guitar...In 1908, John Dopyera imigrated from Slovakia to the United States and founded a store repairing violins, banjos and guitars...In 1925, Dopyera was asked by a vaudeville promoter to create a louder guitar that could be heard over other instruments when played in an orchestra...He invented a guitar with three aluminum cones called resonators mounted beneath the bridge, which was much louder than the regular acoustic guitar...The tone of the guitar was rich and metallic...along with his brothers Rudy and Emil, they founded the National String Instrument Corporation to manufacture the new type of "resophonic" guitar... After several years, the three brothers left the corporation and started a new company, Dobro, derived from the "Do" in Dopyera and "bro" from Brothers, and a word which means "good" in Slovak. Their slogan was: Dobro means good in any language!...John Dopyera died at the age of 94 in 1988, having registered some 40 patents...Gibson Guitar Corporation acquired the Dobro trademark in 1994 and even though almost everyone and their mother call resonator guitars "Dobro's", Gibson has of course threatened legal action to whomever uses the name...
coincidentally, this night club is a block away from the Gibson repair shop...

Created with a full CTO gelled 580EXII strobe at 1/32 power, camera left and aimed at the guitar and microphone, plus a YN565EX on 1/8th power gelled with "moonlight" blue aimed at the mixing desk. Looks like a night shot with the glow from a computer monitor.
Note: Everything fully manual and triggered from the EOS 7D's built in wireless system via the pop-up flash. The Canon 580EXII was set as a slave in group "A". The Yongnuo was slaved as group "B" on it's S2 mode which makes it behave as if it were a regular Canon model slave. This means that all strobe power settings can be controlled from the screen on the back of the camera - way cool! It will even work in ETTL mode but you will only be able to control A:B ratios (I think, better check that out)
I may do some more like this, only take some time to stage it a little bit better.

Rezonátor combines elements of technology with a philosophical subtext, all derived from scientific understanding. As expressed by its title, it consists of a model of a resonator – that is, a fundamental component of the mechanism of a laser module.
And yet the artist doesn’t stop at the technical aspects of this device, but also presents the resonator as a metaphor for human existence. In his view, each human being figuratively functions as a sort of sociocultural resonator. During our lives we perceive all possible external influences of society in the same manner as this device. In response to feedback and reactions within us we give forth our own “memetic light,” reacting most frequently in the form of spoken expression.

The 12 string Guitar has 12 strings in 6 courses. It has more ringing tone than a standard 6 string guitar.
The instrument in the photo is an Epiphone FT85 Serenader. Epiphone was a rival of Gibson acquired by them in 1957. As a subsidiary it produced instruments based on Gibson models but for a lower price (in the early days often built in the same factories by the same people). The FT85 Serenader was manufactured between 1963 and 1969. It was based on the Gibson B25-12 and had a smaller body than most 12 string guitars.
Guitars are assigned the number 321.322-5 in the Hornbostel Sachs classification of musical instruments indicating:
3 = Chordophone. Instruments where the sound is primarily produced by the vibration of a string or strings that are stretched between fixed points.
32 = Composite Chordophone. Acoustic and electro acoustic instruments which have a resonator as an integral part of the instrument, and solid body electric chordophones.
321 = Lutes. Instruments where the plane of the strings runs parallel with the resonators surface.
321.3 = Handle Lutes. Instruments in which the string bearer is a plain handle.
321.32 = Necked Lutes. Instrument in which the handle is attached to, or carved from, the resonator, like a neck
321.322 = Necked Box Lutes. Instruments in which the resonator is built up from wood.
321.322-5 = Instruments where the strings are vibrated by bare hands and fingers.
