This is a shot of me sitting at the control panel in the B Reactor at the Hanford Nuclear Site. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get this one. :)
The reactor has been boarded up since its decommissioning in 1968 until recently. Now, it has been cleaned up a bit and opened to tours. I highly recommend going on one of these tours if you plan on being in the Tri-Cities area at all during the summer. It is fascinating to see this engineering masterpiece that engineers created in only 13 months back in 1943. I learned a lot and plan on going back again this summer.
Thanks for viewing!

The fog you see in the photo was actually from a control burn they did in Jonathan Dickinson State Park the day before. It was very early in the moring and the sky was full of color. I had to stop and shoot this perfect opportunity.

TV Remote Control in the circles of Secular Jews seem ubiquitous as a Mezuzah for Orthodox Jews
Each Mezuzah contains the parchment of Hear O Israel... with the TV Remote Control Israel may Watch TV as well as Hear it.
This diagram shows the expected firing rate at different speeds and cut-offs for a Class 7 loco. This is from a LMR 1949 booklet, so I expect the 7P is a BR 8P.
This booklet "Controlled Firing" was one of three given to me by Dave Massey, who was trying to school my amature firing in the "little and often" method. Other crews tought me the uneconomic easy ways!
Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum
MESSAGE CONTROL CENTRE
Coded messages would have flooded into the Bunker during a nuclear attack. Throughout CFS Corp's operational years during the Cold War, the Message Control Centre (MCC) had to sort them quickly and accurately.
Staff at the MCC logged, processed, duplicated, and distributed all incoming and messages. They also had to ensure outgoing messages were authenticated and formatted before transmission. Even small errors could be catastrophic in a crisis.
Five staff members per shift handled outside messages, as well as the internal message system within the Bunker.
Notice the pass-through slot in the wall-cryptographers in the next room were ready to decode incoming messages and encode those being sent out.
These cables went from the operators cabin to the machinery room directly below to control the throttles, brakes, and rotational direction of the steam engines connected to the cable drums. Everything about the McMyler is mechanical. No electrical signalling here!

Huế (Vietnamese: [hwě] is a city in central Vietnam that was the seat of Nguyen Dynasty emperors and the national capital from 1802–1945. A major attraction is its vast, 19th-century Citadel, surrounded by a moat and thick stone walls. It encompasses the Imperial City, with palaces and shrines; the Forbidden Purple City, once the emperor's home; and a replica of the Royal Theater.
HISTORY
Huế originally rose to prominence as the capital of the Nguyễn lords, a feudal dynasty that dominated much of southern Vietnam from the 17th to the 19th century. In 1775 when Trịnh lord Trịnh Sâm captured it, it was known as Phú Xuân.
In 1802, Nguyễn Phúc Ánh (later Emperor Gia Long) succeeded in establishing his control over the whole of Vietnam, thereby making Huế the national capital.
Minh Mạng (r. 1820-40) was the second emperor of the Nguyễn Dynasty, reigning from 14 February 1820 (his 29th birthday) until his death, on 20 January 1841. He was a younger son of Emperor Gia Long, whose eldest son, Crown Prince Cảnh, had died in 1801. Minh was well known for his opposition to French involvement in Vietnam, and for his rigid Confucian orthodoxy.
During the French colonial period, Huế was located in the protectorate of Annam. It remained the seat of the Imperial Palace until 1945, when Emperor Bảo Đại abdicated and a communist DRV government was established with its capital at Hà Nội (Hanoi), in the north.
While Bảo Đại was proclaimed "Head of the State of Vietnam" with the help of the returning French colonialists in 1949 (although not with recognition from the communists or the full acceptance of the Vietnamese people), his new capital was Sài Gòn (Saigon), in the south.
During the Republic of Vietnam, Huế's central location very near the border between the North and South put it in a vulnerable position in the Vietnam War. In the Tết Offensive of 1968, during the Battle of Huế, the city suffered considerable damage not only to its physical features, but its reputation as well, due to a combination of the American military bombing of historic buildings held by the North Vietnamese, and the massacre at Huế committed by the communist forces.
After the war's conclusion, many of the historic features of Huế were neglected because they were seen by the victorious communist regime and some other Vietnamese as "relics from the feudal regime"; the Vietnamese Communist Party doctrine officially described the Nguyễn Dynasty as "feudal" and "reactionary." There has since been a change of policy, however, and many historical areas of the city are currently being restored.
GEOGRAPHY
The city is located in central Vietnam on the banks of the Perfume River, just a few miles inland from the East Sea. It is about 700 km south of Hanoi and about 1,100 km north of Hồ Chí Minh City.
CLIMATE
Huế features a Tropical monsoon climate under the Köppen climate classification. The dry season is from March to August, with high temperatures of 35 to 40 °C. The rainy season is from August to January, with a flood season from October, onwards. The average rainy season temperature is 20 °C, sometimes as low as 9 °C. Spring lasts from January to late February.
CULTURE
Located in the center of Vietnam, Huế was the capital city of Vietnam for approximately 150 years during feudal time (1802–1945), and the royal lifestyle and customs have had a significant impact on the characteristics of the people of Huế. That impact can still be felt today.
NAME GIVING
Historically, the qualities valued by the royal family were reflected in its name-giving customs, which came to be adopted by society at large. As a rule, royal family members were named after a poem written by Minh Mạng, the second king of Nguyễn Dynasty. The poem, Đế hệ thi", has been set as a standard frame to name every generation of the royal family, through which people can know the family order as well as the relationship between royal members. More importantly, the names reflect the essential personality traits that the royal regime would like their offspring to uphold. This name-giving tradition is proudly kept alive and nowadays people from Huế royal family branches (normally considered 'pure' Huế) still have their names taken from the words in the poem.
CLOTHING
The design of the modern-day áo dài, a Vietnamese national costume, evolved from an outfit worn at the court of the Nguyễn Lords at Huế in the 18th century. A court historian of the time described the rules of dress as follows:
Thường phục thì đàn ông, đàn bà dùng áo cổ đứng ngắn tay, cửa ống tay rộng hoặc hẹp tùy tiện. Áo thì hai bên nách trở xuống phải khâu kín liền, không được xẻ mở. Duy đàn ông không muốn mặc áo cổ tròn ống tay hẹp cho tiện khi làm việc thì được phép.
Outside court, men and women wear gowns with straight collars and short sleeves. The sleeves are large or small depending on the weather. There are seams on both sides running down from the sleeve, so the gown is not open anywhere. Men may wear a round collar and a short sleeve for more convenience.
— Đại Nam thực lục
This outfit evolved into the áo ngũ thân, a five-paneled aristocratic gown worn in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Inspired by Paris fashions, Nguyễn Cát Tường and other artists associated with Hanoi University redesigned the ngũ thân as a modern dress in the 1920s and 1930s. While the áo dài and nón lá are generally seen as a symbol of Vietnam as a whole, the combination is seen by Vietnamese as being particularly evocative of Huế. Violet-coloured áo dài are especially common in Huế, the color having a special connection to the city's heritage as a former capital.
CUISINE
The cuisine of Huế forms the heart of Central Vietnamese cuisine, but one of the most striking differences is the prominence of vegetarianism in the city. Several all-vegetarian restaurants are scattered in various corners of the city to serve the locals who have a strong tradition of eating vegetarian twice a month, as part of their Buddhist beliefs. Another feature of Huế dishes that sets them apart from other regional cuisines in Vietnam is the relatively small serving size with refined presentation, a vestige of its royal cuisine. Finally, another feature of Huế cuisine is that it is often very spicy.
In Hue cuisine, it has both luxurious and rustic popular dishes. All are cooked with talent skills of the Hue people, creating special flavor of Hue food. With such a rich history, Hue's royal cuisine (foods served for the King) is the combination between taste and aesthetic. It consists of several distinctive dishes from small and delicated creations which originally created to please the appetites of Nguyen feudal lords, emperors and their hundreds of concubines and wives. Furthermore, there is another thing making "amazing cuisine" of Hue is traditional foods. Hue's traditional cuisine is so distinctive from other regions in the country, which is considered as the best in Vietnam.
RELIGION
The imperial court practiced various religions such as Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The most important altar was the Esplanade of Sacrifice to the Heaven and Earth, where the monarch would offer each year prayers to the Heaven and Earth.
In Huế, Buddhism enjoyed stronger support than elsewhere in Vietnam, with more monasteries than anywhere else and the nation's most famous monks.
Famously in 1963, Thích Quảng Đức drove to Saigon to protest anti-Buddhist policies of the South Vietnamese government and set himself on fire on a Saigon street.
Thich Nhat Hanh, world-famous Zen master now living in France, originates from Huế.
TOURISM
Huế is well known for its historic monuments, which have earned it a place in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. The seat of the Nguyễn emperors was the Imperial City, which occupies a large, walled area on the north side of the Perfume River. Inside the citadel was a forbidden city where only the emperors, concubines, and those close enough to them were granted access; the punishment for trespassing was death. Today, little of the forbidden city remains, though reconstruction efforts are in progress to maintain it as a historic tourist attraction.
Roughly along the Perfume River from Huế lie myriad other monuments, including the tombs of several emperors, including Minh Mạng, Khải Định, and Tự Đức. Also notable is the Thiên Mụ Pagoda, the largest pagoda in Huế and the official symbol of the city.
A number of French-style buildings lie along the south bank of the Perfume River. Among them are Quốc Học High School, the oldest high school in Vietnam, and Hai Ba Trung High School.
The Huế Museum of Royal Fine Arts on 3 Le Truc Street also maintains a collection of various artifacts from the city.
In addition to the various touristic attractions in Hué itself, the city also offers day-trips to the Demilitarized Zone lying approximately 70 km north, showing various war settings like The Rockpile, Khe Sanh Combat Base or the Vinh Moc tunnels.
The first 11 months of 2012, Huế received 2.4 million visitors, an increase of 24.6% from the same period of 2011. 803,000 of those 2.4 million visitors were foreign guests, an increase of 25.7%.
Although tourism plays a key role in the city's socioeconomic development, it also has negative impacts on the environment and natural resource base. For example, services associated with tourism, such as travel, the development of infrastructure and its operation, and the production and consumption of goods, are all energy-intensive.
Research by the Climate and Development Knowledge Network has identified traditional ‘garden houses’ as having the potential to increase tourist traffic and revenue. Apart from the environmental, economic and cultural benefits provided by garden houses, their promotion could pave the way for other low carbon development initiatives.

RUPTURE NO 1: blowtorching the bitten peach
Heather Phillipson
(23 March 2021 – 23 January 2022)
Tate Britain Commission in the Duveen Gallery
Heather Phillipson engulfs Tate Britain’s grand central galleries with colour, sound and motion
In her words, she is proposing the spaces as a sequence of ‘charged ecosystems, maladaptive seasons and unearthed lifeforms’.
She reimagines the galleries as alive, and happening in a parallel time-zone. Mutant creatures, built from technological remains, populate the space.
Described by Phillipson as a ‘pre-post-historic environment’, the work and its title evoke an abundance of sensations and associations that resist coherence. The artist says she is attempting to ‘cultivate strangeness, and its potential to generate ecstatic experience’.
Phillipson’s work often involves collisions of wildly different imagery, materials and media.
Through multiple, unexpected combinations, she conjures absurd and complex systems. Here, salvaged machines, colossal papier-mâché sculptures and hand-painted scenes are layered with digital video and sound. Mountains of salt, bisected aircraft fuel tanks, mobile gas canisters, rotating anchors and shapeshifting roof vents are doused with tinted light. Everything is remixed and redeployed.
Phillipson’s multimedia projects include video, sculpture, installation, music, poetry and digital media. She describes her works as ‘quantum thought experiments’. They often carry an underlying sense of threat – a suggestion that, in the artist’s words, ‘received ideas, images and the systems that underpin them may be on the verge of collapse’.

Turtuk..... Angels amidst the Apricots
Turtuk, a remote village of about 4,000 residents, inhabited by ethnic Sufi Muslims, just a few kilometres away from the actual ‘Line of Control’ (LoC), between India and Pakistan. Turtuk at an altitude of 9,846 feet is situated on the edge of the Shyok Valley, a flat plateau amidst the mighty Trans-Himalayas - a part of the Nubra Valley area, located at a distance of 211 km from Leh and 92 km from Diskit along the Shyok river.
With lush green fields of buckwheat and barley, Turtuk looks like an oasis of green amidst all the barrenness. Village planning is simple, sustainable and inspiring with winding pathways running between houses, streams, and many apricot trees. Glacial melt water is channelled through the village in an elaborate series of channels - for everyday use, for grinding wheat and other food grains. Turtuk is famous for its apricots; at least with five varieties, famous for its richness and sweetness. Strolling around this picturesque village is extremely enjoyable - not for the sweet smell of drying apricots in the air or the tranquil sound of glacial water flowing through numerous channels but for its little angels. Happy faces of children are everywhere - they happily posed for us with their glittering eyes!

Tear outs from my notebook I kept last spring. Dedicated to my food journal and the emotions I felt everyday. I tracked myself, my every move and every meal. Counted, calculated, added, burned, totaled. It's horrible. It's never good enough. My view of good and bad was totally thrown off. 750 calories suddenly became success and 1200 was too much. It was so distorted. I needed to see the number of burned calories on the treadmill everyday and make it higher than calories consumed. Unable to maintain this goal, I felt like a failure everyday. Why did I do this to myself. I had control over my feelings and yet I set impossible expectations for myself to meet. Set myself up for failure. Then when I can't do it, I am just reaffirming what I already think of myself.
