Smile on Saturday: Tabletop game components

Orange stacked images.

Ursprünglich wurde das Wasserschloss als Unterkunft und Werkstatt für die Hafenarbeiter genutzt, welche die Wartung und Reparatur der hydraulischen Speicherwinden ausführten. Sie wurden Windenwärter bzw. Windenwächter genannt und hatten – neben anderem technischen Personal – das Privileg, in der Speicherstadt wohnen zu dürfen.

 

Die Winden waren ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Speicherhäuser: Es gab – und gibt bis heute – keine Lastenaufzüge. Sämtliche Waren wurden mit Winden außen an den Fassaden zu bzw. von den Lagerböden der Speicher gezogen.

 

Die für die Wartungsarbeiten erforderlichen, zum Teil schweren Ersatzteile konnten von hier aus über die Straßen und Kanäle transportiert werden. Auf dem Wasserweg über zwei Kräne an der Ostseite des Gebäudes, zu Land über eine alte Pflasterstraße, die direkt in das Gebäude führt und hinter den großen Flügeltüren des Wasserschlösschens endet.

 

Heutzutage wird das Gebäude gewerblich genutzt. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich eine Gewerbefläche für Teehandel mit angeschlossener Gastronomie. In der ersten Etage ist ein Anbieter für Sauerstofftherapie ansässig. Wegen seiner Lage und Architektur diente es auch als Kulisse für Fernsehproduktionen, beispielsweise für die TV-Kinderserie „Die Pfefferkörner“.

Das Wasserschlösschen firmiert außerdem als „Außentraustelle“ des Standesamts Hamburg–Mitte.

 

Originally the moated castle was used as a shelter and workshop for the dockers, who carried out the maintenance and repair of the hydraulic storage winches. They were called Windenwächter or Windenwächter and had - in addition to other technical personnel - the privilege to live in the Speicherstadt.

 

The winches were an important component of the storage buildings: there were - and still are today - no freight elevators. All goods were drawn with winches on the outside to the facades to or from the storage floors of the store.

 

The spare parts required for the maintenance work, some of them heavy, could be transported from here over the roads and canals. On the waterway over two cranes on the east side of the building, on land over an old paved road that leads directly into the building and ends behind the large double doors of the water castle.

 

Nowadays the building is used commercially. On the ground floor there is a commercial space for tea trade with attached gastronomy. On the first floor, a provider of oxygen therapy is located. Because of its location and architecture, it also served as a backdrop for television productions, such as the TV series "Die Pfefferkörner".

The Wasserschlösschen also trades under the name "Außenentraustelle" of the registry office Hamburg-Mitte.

...on a circuit board.

 

For Macro Mondays: "Small and Smaller" theme, it's a demonstration board from Universal Instruments Corp. that I've had for many years. The company builds automated machines for placing and attaching components--both small and smaller--to circuit boards.

 

The image measures just 1 5/8-inch on the long side.

Scadoxus multiflorus (formerly Haemanthus multiflorus) is a bulbous plant native to most of sub-Saharan Africa from Senegal to Somalia to South Africa.

 

It is grown as an ornamental plant for its brilliantly coloured flowers, either in containers or in the ground in where the climate is suitable. There are three recognized subspecies. Strongly toxic like other Scadoxus species, it has been used as a component of arrow poisons and fishing poisons, as well as in traditional medicine. Common names, some of which are used for other species, include blood lily, ball lily, fireball lily, blood flower, Katherine-wheel, oxtongue lily, poison root and powderpuff lily.

#smileonsaturday #tabletopgamecomponents

 

When i read the theme for the next Smile on Saturday Challenge then instantly Memories of my childhood came up. I don`t know how many Hours my friends an me have spent playing this great Game called RISK ! The Game is well known around the world and gets played since over 60 Years by Generations. Back in 1957 it got created by Albert Lamorisse, a french filmmaker. I still own the Game and we play it from time to time when we celebate game nights. So i took the chance to shoot an image of my DE LUXE Version of the Game for the theme quite a while ago.

 

Risk is a strategy board game of diplomacy, conflict and conquest for two to six players. The standard version is played on a board depicting a political map of the world, divided into forty-two territories, which are grouped into six continents. Turns rotate among players who control armies of playing pieces with which they attempt to capture territories from other players, with results determined by dice rolls. Players may form and dissolve alliances during the course of the game. The goal of the game is to occupy every territory on the board and, in doing so, eliminate the other players. The game can be lengthy, requiring several hours to multiple days to finish. European versions are structured so that each player has a limited "secret mission" objective that shortens the game.

Wie Is Het? "Who is it" game

Ich war fasziniert von den korkenzieherartigen Ranken dieser Pflanze. Interessant, was man herausfinden kann...

Die bei Reife roten oder schwarzen Beeren der Rotbeerigen und der Weißen Zaunrübe sind sehr giftig: Bereits 15 von ihnen können tödlich für ein Kind sein. Auch alle anderen Bestandteile der Pflanze, Wurzeln, Ranken und Blätter, sind giftig. Das Zerreiben der Beeren auf der Haut führt zu Hautreizung und Blasenbildung.

 

I was fascinated by the corkscrew-like tendrils of this plant. Interesting what you can find out ...

When ripe, the red or black berries of the red and the white bryony are very poisonous: 15 of them can be fatal to a child. All other components of the plant, roots, tendrils and leaves are also poisonous. Rubbing the berries on the skin causes skin irritation and blistering.

A few things that would go into a bowl of cold cereal for hot summer mornings, Craisins, Shredded Wheat, and Fiber One, (not shown optional) walnuts or almonds and honey, yeah and of course the milk too, to finish it out with.

Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.

 

As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.

 

The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".

 

Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...

 

However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...

 

So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

 

---------------------------------------------------------

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !

 

And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.

 

So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.

 

Thank you anyway for your support !

Lego Custom Green lantern based on the john stewart premier skin from injustice 2.

 

Every detail is painted by me.

Sorry that the face is not spot on I used my old comic john stewart face becauae of a lack of brown heads.

 

The ring is completely made with gray stuff. I used a lego body and wrapped clay around the top long stud to make the ring part. I later cut and sanded the rough sculpt to make the ring look good.

Then I took a chunk of clay and stuck a stick through it and let it dry. Then I removed the stick and cut out the lantern shape aroumd the hole and glued the components together. Then I just painted it green.

 

What do you think?

In this shot of Copper Island, the cloud I saw from a distance plays a major part. As it was forming I raced to a familiar spot to catch it at just the right time. Copper Island is left as a silhouette, and makes the shot more about shapes than the nature it captures.

The Continental Cowley, shown to the press in April 1915, was a larger engined (1495 cc against 1018 cc), longer, wider and better-equipped version of the first Morris Oxford with the same "Bullnose" radiator; in addition it could carry a four-passenger body. To reduce the price, many components were bought from United States suppliers. The 1495 cc, side-valve, four-cylinder engine was made by Continental Motor Manufacturing Company of Detroit, and the clutch and three-speed gearbox by Detroit Gear & Machine Co. Back axle, front axle and steering gear also came from the USA. Supply of these components was badly affected by the First World War. The suspension used semi-elliptic leaf springs at the front and three-quarter-elliptics at the rear.[1]

 

The central position of the handbrake and ball-change gear lever revealed the gearbox's US origin. It also made for easy entry through the driver's door and no cold steel up a driver's leg. The petrol tank was in the scuttle, and its filler was above the gear lever in the centre of the dashboard.[1]

 

The US-made back axle was the first helically cut drive in a quantity-produced British car.[1]

 

Electric lighting was standard. It was the first Morris car to be sold like that. The six-volt Lucas lamps were a set of five, powered by a belt-driven dynamo fixed to the engine by its cylinder head studs. The cost of these few electrical components was equivalent to 59% of the cost of the imported engine.[1] The delivery van body was not provided with electric lighting.

Since the photo stream is at my old teenage stomping grounds and looking at solid predecessor lashups, thought a rescan would be in order. Eastbound train #BC-3 is dropping downhill toward the drawbridge, with a CNJ SD-35 leading two CNJ SD-40 units. It was the only time I ever saw a solid Central of New Jersey lashup on a Conrail train, so it remained a rare treat for me. For the most part CNJ power of any sort remained rare on Conrail in these parts, likely due to it being such a small component of the big blue system.

At least that's what I thingk they are.

Wildflowers (Bell Box)

Inverleigh Dr. and The Queensway

 

This organic mural transforms a plain rectangular Bell box into a natural scene complete with blooming wildflowers. A soft turquoise meets teal gradient acts as the backdrop for large dark green, heart-shaped leaves. Thin bright yellow grasses and pale blue flowers are layered on top in a very loose, drawing-like style. Painted in the fall, these flowers demonstrate the act of providing seeds and pollen to insects and birds before winter.

 

Stacey Kinder, the artist who painted this Bell Box, is an artist, ecologist and conservationist from Toronto with a background in Fine Arts and Ecosystem Management. She hopes to share her passion through her artwork and highlight the natural wildlife in Canadian neighbourhoods.

 

This mural was inspired by the plants that were growing around the box itself. Stacey’s aim was to celebrate the beings that live in the South Etobicoke neighbourhood and their unique individuality. As different as they are, each plant thrives here and co-exists in the same ecosystem - much like us, the plants and animals are connected and dependent on one another. If one component of an ecosystem is missing, the entire network is at risk of poor health and collapse. This really brings home the idea of neighbourhood love.

Mi ritrovavo un sacco di componenti elettronici perché feci la pazzia di comprare un robot a fascicoli settimanali..

Anche se di elettronica non capisco una mazza, mi hanno sempre affascinato. Eccone un possibile riutilizzo..

 

Ho poggiato una lastra di vetro su una foto di un mio profilo e ho piazzato i componenti.

Winning the Pike's Peak race, and placing 6th at Indy, this car went to auction with $6-700,000 estimates, and actually sold for $1.1 Million! Gorgeously restored, this image is from Laguna Seca, and the owner/driver let us sit in it with the Imposing steering wheel dominating your vision.

 

'As early as 1929, Ab Jenkins set his sights on Indy, but it wasn't until 1931 that he took his best shot. He'd already known George Hunt, Studebaker's testing chief, from his time racing Studebakers in endurance runs in the late Twenties, and according to Gordon Eliot White's "Ab & Marvin Jenkins: The Studebaker Connection and the Mormon Meteors," Studebaker owed Jenkins for his expenses, so he cashed in that IOU in the form of off-the-shelf Studebaker Commander axles, hardware, and a Commander 337-cu.in. straight-eight engine.

He and Hunt then took the lot over to Indianapolis-based Herman Rigling, who built one of his Indy chassis around the components and slid it under a Pop Dreyer-built aluminum body. Somebody - most likely Hunt - spent the time massaging the nine-main-bearing straight-eight with a 6.5:1 compression ratio aluminum cylinder head, four Studebaker truck carburetors, a Scintilla magneto, and a reground camshaft to bump the stock engine's output from 110 to 175 horsepower.

They built the car according to the so-called "junk formula" template that Eddie Rickenbacker initiated for the 1930 Indy 500. Over the prior 20 years, the race entries had grown ever more exotic, expensive, and removed from the vehicles that carmakers offered. In an attempt to lure those carmakers back to supporting Indy, Rickenbacker increased allowable engine displacement from 91.5 cubic inches to 366 cubic inches for heavier, naturally aspirated four-stroke engine-vehicle combinations and re-instituted the riding mechanic.

 

Jenkins's illness forced him and Hunt to find another driver, Indy veteran Tony Gulotta, who qualified in the No. 37 car at 111 MPH. Along with riding mechanic Carl Riscigno, Gulotta turned in a spectacular performance. While they started in the middle of the pack, according to The Old Motor, Guletta was given the signal to run flat our with 80 laps to go then "passed 18 cars in the next 46 laps and was running in first place when he hit a patch of oil left over from a crash, and went into the wall ending its run." The two men walked away unscathed and Gulotta was credited with 18th place.

Hunt took the car straight back to South Bend to repair it before entering it - still wearing No. 37 - in that year's Pikes Peak hillclimb. While White makes mention of Jenkins's involvement in the car throughout this period, Pikes Peak records list the car as the Hunt Special and another driver, Chuck Myers, drove the car in the event. Myers did well too, beating out Jerry Unser and Glen Shultz with a time of 17 minutes, 10.3 seconds, good enough for an overall win and a course record.'
