When I was going through our company recycling bin looking for AAA batteries I found a discarded calculator.
It was behaving badly, with all the lower segments blank.
So it became a target. I was lazy and didn't do enough calibrations of the battery projectile, so the first two shots where too early.
But I figured that it looked good enough for a third try, which is this.
Cheers.

Up until just a few miles before this time (when I reached Tuba City), I had no reason to expect anything other than a continuation of the clear and dry skies I had been experiencing for most of my twelve days of travel. A quick check with the Weather Channel, however, confirmed what my eyes were telling me... the weather was terrible (heavy rain) over the Canyon, and not expected to improve for at least a couple of days. No views, no walking/hiking, no camping, no fun at all.
It made no sense to continue any further in this direction, so this is where I made the decision to drive the 300+ miles so I could sleep in my bed that night in Tucson.

This Frua-designed A6G Spider is one of the most beautiful Maseratis ever built. A sporty white stripe on the bonnet, modest chromed trim, a somewhat angled grille and an accentuating kink in the front bumper. In 1956-1957 only fourteen Maserati's A6/2000 were given Frua bodywork, of which probably nine were built as Spiders.
The A6 was a great success for Maserati after the war. At first the car was fitted with a 1.5 litre engine, but it was later replaced with a two-litre. Both versions had a single overhead camshaft; however, this changed when the Ferrari and Alfa Romeo engineer, Gioacchino Colombo was appointed in 1954. Colombo started working on the six-cylinder and fitted the engine with a twin-cam cylinder head, larger carburettors and a dual ignition system. He thereby increased the engine's maximum output to 140 hp, whereas the original 1947 engine produced only 65 hp. The engine of this Spider produces 160 hp.
8-year old Kaiky; what future is there in store for him...?
Can we change his World? Maybe, with a little help from our friends?
We have now reached USD$3.190,00 with our Flickr Christmas Campaign, “Reaching for a Star”, that’s almost 32% of our total aim and still rising...
That will purchase some of the equipment needed for our new shelter, but there’s still a long way to go.............................
Good people!
We are preparing a new shelter for some of the street kids from the centre of São Paulo. This is a partnership project with a young Norwegian lady who has decided to join us and make the street kids her life too! The house is already purchased and now it needs to be equipped. This will be a small, family-structured project, one which has proven itself from my own experiences as a long-term foster parent for many street kids these last 14 years, two of whom are now young adults and will be assisting with the running of the shelter.
I will be the mentor for these young apprentices.
Our main aim is to implement foster-care as an important facility for recuperated street children in Brazil. Today many kids are doomed to live the rest of their childhood in an institutional setting due to the lack of structured family alternatives.
The shelter aims to tackle small numbers of children coming off the streets, where Hummingbird will be their reference for positive social reintegration and their pathway to a new family structure.
Equipping a home, as you all well know, is no easy task for any family, but we aim to have the home up and running by February/March 2007. If you feel this cause worthy please don't hesitate to make your contribution to the Reaching for a Star Campaign:
To give you just some idea of our needs:
Fridge: $700,00
Gas Cooker: $700,00
Washing Machine: $600,00
Installation of two bathrooms: $2.800,00
Installation of kitchen: $1.500,00
Kitchenware: $1.000,00
TV / Video / DVD: $750,00
Computer: $900,00
Mattresses and bedclothes: $1.200,00
Furnishings: $2.000,00
etc. etc.
As you can imagine, the needs, even for the basic necessities, are many, but if we reach the $10.000,00 target for the Reaching for a Star campaign (plus a little more), we will have installed the house ready for use. A little from many will make all the difference.
Please help us to help more kids leave the streets and certain death!
I'm sure you would if you knew them...........
Thank you!

Continuing our preventive actions in the community, Hummingbird will reforce its presence next week when the favela (shanty) community of Sítio Joaninha receives our outreach programme for the third time during school holidays.
This is an important part of our strategy to involve this community in our proposal to implant a new activity centre in their neighbourhood. Hopefully by the end of this year we will be able to offer the children and young people of Sítio Joaninha daily activities that embrace Arts, Culture, Sport and the Environment. But we need your help.
Our presence in the community will hopefully fire some major social changes urgently needed in this so abandoned community, which still houses many of the families that once worked (slaved) on the regions major rubbish tip that was closed down seven years ago.

Not a particularly good shot, but there was something atmospheric about this member of the crew changing the lights from the red flashing tail marker to a front disc lamp.
Here, preserved London and North Eastern Railway B1 61306 'Mayflower' is seen at London Victoria on the Cathedrals Express from Victoria to Eastleigh.
The LNER B1 Classes were built by the Thompson company between 1942 and 1952 as a mixed traffic equivalent of the highly successful LMS Black 5 and the Great Western Hall Class locomotives. The class made their initial start on the Great Eastern Mainline between London Liverpool Street and Ipswich, Harwich and Norwich, becoming an immediate success and being employed on London - Harwich 'Boat Trains', and the cheap construction costs ultimately resulted in 410 members of the class being built. The locomotive's had a relatively short life span much like many of the later LNER designs, with the final examples being withdrawn between 1961 and 1967 with only two members of the class preserved, including B1 number 61264 and 61306, which was initially never named but later donned the name of 'Mayflower' in preservation after the demise of original name bearer 61379.
61306 was in fact a British Railways built example, emerging from the North British Locomotive Works in 1948 after Nationalisation of the Railways earlier that year, and worked a charmed life in the Hull area throughout the 1950's before being transferred to Bradford in 1967 and withdrawn soon afterwards. The locomotive was immediately bought for preservation at Carnforth, where it was given the name 'Mayflower' and painted into LNER Apple Green, a livery it never wore due to the lateness of its construction. It was then transferred to the Great Central Railway between 1978 and 1989 before going into overhaul until 2006. The locomotive has recently undergone a 2 year overhaul at Washwood Heath in Birmingham and has returned in British Railways Apple Green similar to that worn by 60163 Tornado between 2009 and 2010.
In July I started doing some extra work for the supervisor at my current job, I thought I wanted to learn about operations in a department, to build my resume to be a manager or just a worker bee in the field. I quickly learned that with no experience, I would not be able to match my current salary, and I didn't like it to much. But I needed to finish my degree, being one class away and with all the interruptions in the past.
In August my co-worker had enough, she was done, and applied for a new job. I continued to do operations work in my off time, to make a better decision, if this is my was my future or not: health care admin. I can tell I realized it wasn't. But I worked with my best friend and we had a good time, and with the gym. I just continued to work and not care about moving onto something else.
In September the University I am getting a master's through called me and asked if I plan on perusing a Doctorate Degree, and when I thought about it, NO I wasn't. I wanted to finish this degree and just get another job, I needed this change.
In October, I began interviewing, and again asked about getting a PhD. I thought I would be happy with getting that Master's in Public Health i always wanted. Becoming a University employee I could for very cheap.
In November I was at Drill, and I am ready to get out of the military. I was asked what I see myself doing in the future. I immediatley responded with: I hate my weekends being taken with the Army-with more rank more of my week will be taken. I want a University Job, so I can go back to school for a PhD. Dr. Dobberstein sounds so much better than CPT Dobberstein.
Today, the HR man said sort of the same thing. Dr. Dobberstein does sound pretty neat, must be the Dr D. He also encouraged me to to that in something I become interested.
Today I accepted a position at the School of Public Health. I am hoping to begin a PhD in epidemiology or general public health .
So today and the next few weeks or years things are changing.
Malabry, Paris tramline 10. The same tram with at left the doors open and at right the doors closed. The lights above the doors change colours when opening / closing the doors. The same happens inside the trams at the ceiling.
I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

Glorious changes in colour and texture at this time of year. The smaller scale in some ways can be as impressive as the landscape views ....
Andreas changing rolls of film.
On our walk round the Ellenbogen, the most northern part of Germany, on the first day of the new year, my mate Andreas just took along his crop camera, a tiny Mamiya 645. Real men are carrying big cameras like a RZ :-)

The newly renovated BC Place Stadium, now with a new cable-supported retractable roof. The roof is the biggest of its kind in the world, with each of the support masts measuring 47 meters tall.
The stadium is home to the Vancouver White Caps FC and BC Lions.
I couldn't help but notice the other day that the new stadium is also much brighter and lively. A new architectural lighting system provides dynamic lighting to events hosted at this venue. In this picture, the stadium is illuminated with colours that are representative of the Vancouver White Caps FC for game day. Rogers Arena truly pales in comparison.
