Grease the bottom bracket shell. I went ahead and smeared grease all over the inside for rust prevention should I ever get a little moisture in there. Greasing the cup/bearing/retainer assembly will make it slipperier than deer guts on a door knob and make installation more difficult.

One of the final generations of very high quality bottom brackets made for square tapered cranks. This was one which fitted entirely within a BB shell of a frame... and, unlike Shimano or Campagnolo - which each had flanged cups on the drive side, it could be shifted slightly to right or left to fine tune the chain line.
Ankarana National Reserve, near Antsiranana, northern Madagascar ... near Lac Vert.
Ankarana Special Reserve is a protected area in northern Madagascar created in 1956. It is a small, partially vegetated plateau composed of 150-million-year-old middle Jurassic limestone. With an average annual rainfall of about 2,000 millimetres (79 in), the underlying rocks have been eroded to produce caves and feed subterranean rivers - a karst topography. The rugged relief and the dense vegetation have helped protect the region from human intrusion and exploitation.
Tsingy is the Malagasy name for the country's dramatic limestone karst rock formations, appearing like a forest of often razor-sharp shards. Limestone itself is a sedimentary rock, formed at the bottom of the sea both by evaporation and deposition of the calcium carbonate remains of billions of sea creatures, whose shells and bones in death fell to the ocean floor. Over millions of years, layers built upon layers, until seismic activity eventually thrust the limestone above sea level.
What began as limestone plateaus eroded dramatically over time, weathered from above and below by fresh water acidified by airborne carbon dioxide dissolved within it.
Tsingy is a Malagasy word meaning 'where one cannot walk barefoot'. This description is both apt and very important for ecosystems which have developed in these rock forms. Pockets of forest provide important habitat for wildlife and plants, which through the defence of sharp rock edges, are spared being plundered by bushmeat hunters, farmers and grazing zebu cattle.

My attempt at a DIY macro flash bracket.
Purpose: get my Speedlite in a position where it can put light on a subject very close to the end of my lens.
Cost:
Aluminum bar = ~ $5
Foam padding = ~ $0.10
Electrical tape = basically free... lets call it a penny.
Total = ~$5.11
Just waiting on the off-camera flash cord I bought on eBay, then time to try it out!
Fomitopsis betulina (previously Piptoporus betulinus), commonly known as the birch bracket or razor strop, is a common bracket fungus. As the name suggests, it grows almost exclusively on birch trees. The brackets burst out from the bark of the tree, and these fruit bodies can last for more than a year.
Fomitopsis betulina has been widely used in traditional medicines. Agaric acid found in the fruit body of the fungus, is poisonous to the parasitic whipworm Trichuris trichiura. The fungus was carried by "Ötzi the Iceman", the 5,300 year old mummy found in Tyrol, with speculation that the fungus may have been used as a laxative to expel whipworm.

My homemade twin flash bracket set for portrait orientation.
It is strong, fairly adjustable, and can do both landscape and portrait orientations.

A two-story-and-attic frame mansion, square in plan with central projecting ells on each side. The roof is hipped with a balustraded deck, dormers (with finials), gabled ells, and wide eaves with simple brackets. Across the front of the house and extending about one-third of the way back on each side is a one-story wrap-around gallery with Ionic columns and a balustrade with urn finials above. Superimposed over this porch is a two-story flat-roofed portico with paired colossal Ionic columns and balustrade above. The entablature of the portico has a frieze of swags which continues as a plain frieze around the rest of the house. Several of the windows are grouped in pairs or threes. Most have nine-over-nine light double-hung sash-type windows with simple moldings. The double front door is glazed with decorative mullions in the side lights and transom, under an elaborate molded enframent with segmentally arched transom and fluted pilasters.
The carriage house is a large two-story-and-attic frame house of cruciform plan with the stables behind the main section in the long arm of the cross. The building resembles an early twentieth century residence with the exception of the wide carriage door at the center of the front porch, flanked by two large bulls-eye windows.
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
The McFaddin House is characteristic of the Classic Revival mansions built by Texas millionaires at the turn of the century. Massiveness, the colossal Classic portico super- imposed over a one-story wraparound gallery, and the concentration of expensive detailing at the entrance are each typical of the period in the state.
The McFaddin House was built for one of Texas oldest and wealthiest families. Founder of the family was James McFaddin, who came to Texas from Louisiana in 1833. His son, William McFaddin, participated in the Battle of San Jacinto and the siege of the Alamo, and created a cattle and oil empire on the basis of land he received for his service in the Texas Army.
William McFaddin built a home in Beaumont in 1854. After the house burned in 1905, his daughter, Di Vernon Averill decided to build 200 yards east of the ruins. The Averills hired Henry Conrad Mauer, noted Beaumont-area architect (June 6 1873-July 7, 1939). Mauer was a native Texan, who earned an architecture degree from Pratt Institute. He returned to Texas in 1898, and practiced in E1 Paso. In 1901, he moved to Beaumont, where he lived until his death. He was best-known as a builder of elegant homes, and designed residences for M.L. Hinchee, V. Weiss, M.J. Bass, C.T. Heisig, and J.E. Broussard.
Mauer built the Averill house in 1906. He framed in the structure, and finished the top floor so that the Averills could move in. Too late, however, the Averills realized that they could not finish the house, and Mrs. Averill appealed to her brother, William Perry H. McFaddin, to buy and complete it.
William P. H. McFaddin was one of Beaumont''''s wealthiest businessmen. He was born in Beaumont, February 5, 1856. He attended Texas Military Institute from 1873 to 1874, and a business college in St. Louis, Missouri, from 1876 to 1877 From the early 1870s until his death, McFaddin was identified with the cattle, oil, and land industries of south Texas. He was a pioneer railroad builder and oil developer President of McFaddin, Wiess, Kyle Land Company, which he organized in 1901; and director of the First National Bank of Beaumont.
