This is just one of many Blacktron bases scattered throughout the galaxy. This base serves as a hangar for repairs on the Invader 3000. The docking port features a fully operational elevator platform.
The obigatory handheld 'back at where we started after a railtour' night shot. Often they don't turn out so well. But this one's alright :)

Completely empty because there are no expeditions in November. The photo cannot capture the scale of the place. For instance, Sergei, who seems very tiny on the bottom left of the photo, is really close. In between of what appears as two "hills", is the famous and dangerous Khumbu Icefall, where the technical part of the climb to Everest starts.
Completed. It's already been to a couple of shows, perhaps you've already seen it in person, or online. But here are the pictures of the completed thing.
La Base Aérea de Torrejón (código IATA: TOJ, código OACI: LETO) es uno de los principales aeropuertos militares españoles cerca de Madrid. Fue usada, conjuntamente con el Ejército de Aire, por la Fuerza Aérea de Estados Unidos (USAF) hasta 1992. Tras haber sido utilizado conjuntamente por el Ejército del Aire de España y AENA, esta última para la aviación ejecutiva, actualmente dichas operaciones han sido trasladadas al Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas.

La base aerea di Torrejon era un aeroporto militare situato in Spagna gestito dalla United States Air Force. La base di Torrejon fu chiusa nel 1996 e l'aeroporto venne riconvertito per scopi civili. Attualmente lo scalo è noto come aeroporto di Madrid-Torrejón, stante la vicinanza alla città di Madrid. La base aerea di Torrejon era una delle basi aeree principali in Europa centro-meridionale assieme alle basi aeree di Aviano in Italia e quella di Incirlik in Turchia. Di fatto la base ha cessato di fungere da avamposto per la USAF già a partire dal 21 maggio 1992, quando gli aeromobili di stanza furono trasferiti altrove.

Cullman County has one of the most unique yoga studios in the United States. The activities at the studio combines traditional aspects of physical Yoga with Christian and spiritual elements such as scripture readings, devotional thoughts, and biblical verbiage during sessions.
Started by Debbie Leopard, Cullman's Santosha Yoga came about as a dream fulfilled for this long-time yoga practitioner. Santosha means 'Contentment' in the ancient Sanskrit language.
Founded by Leopard and a partner in July 2014, the original yoga studio was just that: a common yoga studio. After the partnership dissolved and Debbie re-dedicated her life to Christ in August 2014, she transitioned the studio into a Faith-based facility offering a wide range of classes ranging from Kids Yoga to Beginner Yoga to BUTI (Yoga combined with Tribal dance).
Cullman's Santosha Yoga also offers FAITHFLO classes which allows students to Praise Christ through the movements of their bodies.
Debbie has been consistently practicing various forms of yoga for 19 years. She has been teaching the art for 6 years. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) through the Yoga Alliance with 200 hours of accredited training.
Cullman Today recently visited Debbie at her studio and learned about her history and enthusiasm for yoga:
"I love the way my body feels after a good class. Relaxed and restored. I love the energy boost I get. But most of all the peacefulness of it. Non-competitive just letting your body stretch to its limits. And as a teacher to see a student achieve a goal. Well that's the icing on the cake."
That first image is of Bernice. She is a 90 years old student at the yoga center. If she can do this, so can you!

Three weeks trekking the Dhaulagiri circuit in Nepal, from Beni to Jomosom. Dhaulagiri is the 7th highest mountain in the world.
Drax Power Station, near Selby, was built between 1969-1973 and is Britain's largest power station with a 1.8 gigawatt capacity, composed of two 900 MW generating sets. Power is generated from six NEI/Parsons super-heated steam turbines at 2000psi and 576C. Output voltage is 23.5KV, transformed up to 400KV for onward transmission. The station now operates largely on imported biomass from North America, which is carried by rail from the ports of Tyne, Immingham, Liverpool Bulk Terminal and Hull , with up to 20 train-loads per day, each comprising 23 or 24 W H Davis-built automatic discharge hoppers designed especially for biomass pellets.
Each 75ft long vehicle has five hoppers which are operated from electromagnets at the lineside as the train passes through the discharge point at 0.38 miles per hour. We saw a train from Liverpool, headed by a DB Cargo Class 66 and one from Immingham hauled by a GBRF Class 66 during our visit. Three trains can be unloaded simultaneously if required.
The boilers at Drax consume 5 tonnes of biomass every minute and the station requires between 10 and 20000 tonnes of biomass per day depending on output load requirements. Drax can supply 5-7% of the UK's total power requirement at peak load. One half of the station still operates on coal-firing, but this wiil be progressively converted to biomass and then natural-gas firing in the next few years.

The scouts were able to see the fire department practice dousing a burning airplane simulator. Then they saw a police dog demonstration, including getting to see District Executive, Micah Huffman get attacked by the dog. They were able to see a T-1 Jayhawk, T-38 Talon, and T-6 Texan II up close. Then they were able to visit the altitude chamber and the physiology lab where several of them were able to experience spacial disorientation in a special rotating chair. They they visited the control tower, and the RAPCON air traffic control area. Then they finished the day with a second visit to the base fire station where they got to see the fire trucks, try their had with a fire hose, and even spray water from one of the fire trucks!
