I am not sure if 'ancient' is the correct term for describing the irrigation system found at this historic mission in San Antonio, Texas. I find the engineering of the system to be incredibly interesting. Which mission is this? Correct, Glenn Stuart! This is located at Mission San Jose.
Surprisingly, hoisting that baby up on to the cake board and riser went well. I only had a mild heart attack when I realized one of my wheel wells had collapsed a bit. Now on to make the tires.
I cannot resist fog. It's my favourite weather type for photography; the trouble is that despite living by the sea it always happens when I'm in bed.
Not so today though. Driving back from Peacehaven it was absolutely magical, but I sadly the best shot would have required a bit of a walk from any parking - and due to poor planning I was late to pick up Em from Craftaganzahad no time to stop properly.
But if you can picture a marina, in the distance, lit by this light, horizon hidden in the haze, but with a low bank of fog on the sea so all you can see at the tops of the buildings and the sea wall floating mysteriously in thin air, you will be able to picture the shot I wanted to take.

Secondary breast cancer, also called metastatic breast cancer, occurs when the disease spreads from the breast to elsewhere in the body. Some patients will have their first diagnosis of breast cancer only to discover that it has spread and is in fact metastatic breast cancer. Many women who are diagnosed with secondary cancer have had breast cancer at a previous time. Secondary cancer is caused by cancerous cells breaking away from their first place of infection to travel via the bloodstream to other parts of the body. Obviously metastatic breast cancer is serious and harder to fight because the disease is not confined simply to the breast.
When metastatic cancer develops, the most likely places it will spread to are the liver, lungs, bones and the brain. But because this type of cancer spreads, it does not mean it will necessarily spread to most or all of these places.
Because every woman is unique, those who develop metastatic breast cancer will have their own set of symptoms. These are determined by the location of the secondary cancer. If in the bones, the symptoms will usually mean aches and pains in the bones and particularly so when moving. It can also be difficult to sleep.
Epidemiology
The pain in cancer patients is usually multifactorial, may arise from the process itself, treatment side effects or both. For these reasons the approach and management of this symptom should be multidisciplinary. Pain syndrome occurs either by local proliferation or tumor invasion of a metastatic tumor from a distance. With metastatic bone pain often reflects the presence of a tumor in breast, thyroid, prostate, kidney, lung or adrenal.
Physiology of bone pain
Bone pain is associated with tissue destruction by osteoclast cells. Normally, osteoclastic bone resorption are in balance with bone formation mediated by osteoblasts. In neoplastic osteolytic activity is increased and there are substances such as cytokines, local growth factors, peptides similar to parathyroid hormone and prostaglandins. Autacoids are also released other owners as potassium ions, bradykinin and osteoclast activating factors. These tissue substances play an important role in sensitizing the neural tissue against chemical and thermal stimuli, lower thresholds for discharge of the neuronal membrane, produce exaggerated responses to stimuli above the threshold and result in discharges of tonic impulses normally silent nociceptors. This phenomenon is called peripheral sensitization and primary hyperalgesia and is understood as events occurring within the ranks of the injured tissue and stimulate peripheral nociceptors (C fibers and A delta fibers) translating pain. In bone tissue of the sensory receptors are located primarily in the periosteum, whereas the bone marrow and bone cortex are insensitive. This phenomenon of peripheral sensitization results in abnormal sensitivity to pressure surrounding skin (allodynia and hyperalgesia), pain in muscles, tendons, joints and deep tissues in contact with bone. This is limited to ensure that the peripheral ends have a greater capacity for alarm response to injury.
The constant presence of harmful process, stimulating nociceptive receptors gives the introduction of a subacute pain that tends to be chronic with the growth of bone metastases. These stimuli lead to another prevalent phenomenon called central sensitization important which includes abnormal amplification of incoming sensory signals to the central nervous system, particularly the spinal cord. The phenomenon occurs because of the persistent input stimulus through the fibers C. This spinal cord triggers a temporary increase in the power of silent synaptic terminals. In this process plays an important role of glutamate receptor N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA). The resulting amplification of the signal generated in the postsynaptic neuron sends a message to the brain which is interpreted as pain. In short central sensitization amplifies the sensory effects of both peripheral nociceptive inputs (C fibers of pain) and non-nociceptive fibers (A of touch).
In practice the two phenomena come together in the genesis of metastatic bone pain and peripheral sensitization occurs acutely metastatic lesions to appear nociceptors and translate the information conveyed through the afferent myelinated A-delta or unmyelinated C fibers to the spinal cord where the information is modulated by various systems. With the set up process subacute begins the process of central sensitization which sensory synapses begin to activate silent. And there is a state of increased central perception. By becoming chronic pain phenomenon becomes even more complex because all that is in contact with the area of injury becomes a powerful generator of pain. The touch, muscle movement or joint pain result, manifesting the phenomena of allodynia and hyperalgesia much more marked.
"The GS M9-55 Atmospheric Patrol Craft, commonly known as the 'Glory Snow,' was initially hailed as revolutionary for its 'Shield Trigger' system, by which the deflector shields deployed only after the craft's data systems detected imminent enemy fire. However, flaws in the system resulted in the majority of shield deployments occurring too late to protect the craft from the ubiquitous laser weaponry. Following this embarrassing discovery, the project was quickly scuttled. The few units which remain still see some use by private citizens, where the delayed shield system provides adequate protection from non-laser weaponry while remaining power efficient."
Continuing experiments with System, SNOT, and some shapes I wanted to try out. Also, I found a good background to use when photographing white!

Probably the most awkward aspect of developing films at home is getting your exposed film onto a reel and into a developing tank. It can be quite a fiddly process and, on top of that, it has to be done in complete darkness, so you can’t even see what you are doing.

One of the protective systems of a fortress gun 93 L52, caliber 15.5 cm. It disguises the thermal image with a water curtain. The chain curtain was already there at older cannons which are disused. Due to the ladder rungs, you can guess how big such a thing is. These facilities are still operational and classified, therefore no geotags. Rhine Valley, Switzerland, Feb 14, 2011.
Update: The guns were shut down in fall 2011, but not declassified.
Yesterday, i was invited to visit David McConville's amazing Geodome in his wonderful home here in West Asheville. The inside of the dome was projected, from a single macbook, a map of our known space outside Earth. The progression of moving back from the earth to the edge of the universe was a process - complete with informative monologue from David - was a total mind blower.
The progression is in the next 10 photographs, but the scale and gorgeousness of the entire process was amazing.
This is our solar system with the paths (relative in size) of the inner planets, outer planets and that blue thing we call pluto.

The Hawker Siddeley Nimrod was a military aircraft developed and built in the United Kingdom. It is an extensive modification of the de Havilland Comet, the world's first jet airliner. It was originally designed by de Havilland's successor, Hawker Siddeley, now part of BAE Systems.
It was designed as a Royal Air Force maritime patrol aircraft, the Nimrod MR1/MR2, its major role being anti-submarine warfare (ASW), although it also had secondary roles in maritime surveillance and anti-surface warfare. It served from the early 1970s until March 2010.
The Nimrod series was due to be replaced by the now cancelled Nimrod MRA4.
In addition to the three Maritime Reconnaissance variants, one other Nimrod type was developed. The RAF also used the Nimrod R1 variant in an electronic intelligence gathering (ELINT) role.

LaCrosse Missile System
The difficulty in directing conventional artillery on fortified targets caused great concern during WW II and the Korean War. The Forward Observer needed a large number of rounds to register a gun on such a target, consequently revealing the position of the gun to the enemy.
The M4 LaCrosse Missile System was designed to provide precision fire against enemy pillboxes, blockhouses and similarily constructed strongpoints. It could also be used to attack other enemy targets such as troop concentrations, material and supply lines.
The missile is mounted and transported on a standard 2 1/2-ton truck. It is assembled from its two basic components, and the wings and fins quickly snapped into place. A Forward Observer Team measured the distance to the target, fed this information into a Jeep-mounted computer and the missile was guided to its target by radar signals with pinpoint accuracy.
The missile consists of a solid-fueled rocket motor, four wings and fins, and a choice of three warheads: nuclear, conventional high-explosive and shaped-charge.
The Lance Missile System replaced the LaCrosse Missile System on the battlefield in the 1960's.

For those interested, this is our rain barrel system. We took video to explain it, haven't gotten around to editing it yet.
We have 7-55 gallon barrels all hooked together. They fill at the same time and drain together. We have one spigot to fill watering cans and a pump with another spigot for use with the hose or sprinkler.
There's an overflow as well, they're all hooked together and overflow into the downspout if they're full. We have a clear tube at the end so we can see how much water we have. The system is also easily expandable if we want to add more barrels, we think we can fit 7-10 more across the back of the garage.
One of the best things about this system is the cost. We only spent about $120 for the entire system (including deck). The deck was built with lumber we removed from the deck on our house, we wanted a smaller sized deck on the house. The barrels are food grade plastic barrels and cost us only $10 each (you want to make sure you don't get barrels that had chemicals in them). We spent about $50 on other materials, posts, PVC (we also had some of that sitting around that we used up).

My trip to the Munch Museum on my last day in Oslo took me to the city's excellent, clean, modern and efficient subway system, known as the T-bane.
T-bane is short for tunnelbane. Tunnel means the same in both languages. Bane means "path." One analog is the British "tube." Or, just call it the Metro.
061615: Marfa, TX - The Tethered Aerostat Radar System (TARS) is low-level airborne ground surveillance system that uses aerostats (moored balloons) as radar platforms. U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Air and Marine Operations use the TARS to provide persistent, long-range detection and monitoring (radar surveillance) capability for interdicting low-level air, maritime and surface smugglers and narcotics traffickers.
