Currently Berlin's youngest and shortest U-Bahn line, also the line with the highest number, the U55, which began service in 2009, is due to close in June for six months. This will enable the last work in connecting power rails and signalling to the extension of the U5 from Alexanderplatz. When it re-opens again in December, it will all be known as U5 and run from Hönow to Hauptbahnhof with three new stations; Berliner Rathaus, Unter den Linden and Museumsinsel, although trains will not stop there until June 2021, when it is scheduled to open.
I've been out and about getting shots of all the U55 signage before it disappears forever.
Dunno why, just had the urge to post it. Like someone coming round to your house, I've tidied all the crap on the desktop, and hidden it under the carpet. Once you're gone, I'll dump it all back there again.

I like the crop.
@ Nicole: I generally like her books. It's chicklit only with some depth to it... the author doesn't write about birds and bees but about serious subjects without losing humor. This book is about a woman in rehab dealing with a drug addiction.

I customized this Diana F+ camera for an event called Diana World Tour 2008 organized by Lomography Asia. The event exhibition is currently showing over a hundred Diana and Diana Clone cameras produced from 60's to 70's. I'm honored to be one of the 10 to appear in the Diana Vignettes photo story exhibits.
I particularly hate the blue/green color of Diana, so given a chance to customize it, I decided to make it chocolate and named this version "Diana Choco-mix, copper blend". At first I disassembled the camera and painted different parts in various colors. The camera body was first painted in white chocolate and then brown on the surface, so as you use the camera in time, the white chocolate color beneath will gradually show.
A brown soft leather strap was finally added after the paints dried and camera re-assembled. It feels very comfortable to carry coz the strap is a lot wider than a typical Diana plastic one.
In addition to this customized Diana F+, a photo is shown in the Diana Vignettes exhibition. I chose this one to tell a story of how my father influenced me creatively and how I'd like to do the same to my son.

小朋友的面孔每天在變，書朗現在已經三歲多，相片中的他跟幾個月前已有很大的分別。我喜歡不斷的影，不斷的找出驚喜，不斷的為他的童年做紀錄。慢慢地，這張白紙開始有了自己的內心世界，怎樣把內心世界紀錄下來呢?
拿著 car car 的他總帶微笑；微笑的他，嘴總是尖尖的。天真可愛，出外勞碌工幹時想起他，心都軟下來，笑起來。每當回家看到他時他都興奮極地叫 daddy daddy，然後看著我的背包說“你是不是有買 car car 給我呀! 給我看看你的包包啦! 我知你有嘅!”九成時間我都令他失望，但他也是笑著的彈來彈去。
物質充逾，內在更重要，所以我會為他做紙 car car，也玩得一整天。劃幾幅由他主導的畫，看極也看不厭。造了這個俄羅斯公仔，每次一起看了，大家都會微笑。把這些拍下來更有意思，不止紀錄了事實，也紀錄了造這些東西時的心情。
My son is now 3.5 years old, his face literally changes on daily basis. Photos I shot of him a few months ago show a completely different him. I like to take photos him as much as possible, it is not difficult to find surprises and I love the fact that I'm recording his happy childhood we'll treasure a lot in the future. Gradually, this blank piece of paper emerges a character, how do I record his character?
When he holds his "car car" he always smile, when he smiles the tip of his upper lips has a tiny little peak. When I think of his smiles during my business trips my heart would melt and I keep smiling. When I come home he would be so excited shouting "daddy daddy" and often ask "did you buy car car for me? Let me see your bag, I know you have" but 90% of the time I disappointed him, yet he would still be smiling and jumping around in my presence.
Living in this materialistic world, inner self development became much more important. I would make paper cars for him and play for a whole day. Draw a few pictures directed by him and the results are pleasant to look at together. When we look at this Russian doll I painted, there are always smiles. Photos of these not only record objects and facts, but also the precious feelings during the process.
Biography:
爸爸喜歡欣賞及收藏中國字畫，也靠它維生。每天都看著他看畫看得入神，想東西想到自得其樂，說起畫時都眉飛色舞。這些都是內函的外在，量度不到也形容不到。我就是被這種內函浸吟著長大的。喜歡了劃畫，攝影，西洋書法...，做了city'super的文具採購已經五年。每天都能把爸爸傳受的內函活出來，已經很精彩，也喜望能對兒子有著相同的啟發。
Dad loves to appreciate and collect Chinese calligraphy and paintings, his interest also became his career. I would see him looking at paintings in deep pleasant thoughts, when he talked about them his eyes brightened. These inner bliss or satisfaction can't be described and measured but I was grown up in such environment without knowing it. I developed interests in drawing/painting, photography and western calligraphy, became a stationery buyer at city'super 5 years ago. I feel tremendous thankfulness for what my Dad passed on to me unintentionally, hope I'll be able to do the same for my son.

Situated on the Chessington branch Tolworth currently has a half hourly service to London Waterloo calling at all stations using Class 455 units. As with the other stations on the branch it is built to an Art Deco design using concrete and as such is quite unusual in its design which is down the fact that the branch didn't open until 1938 with the Chessington stations opening a year later. This was the final line to be built by the Southern Railway and was intended to continue to Leatherhead via new stations at Malden Rushett and Ashtead North but the outbreak of the second world war put the plan on hold and after the war Green Belt legislation meant the line was not extended beyond a half mile shunt at Chessington South.
Stuff I have to know for my current position at the Tram. Also included is how to run the Bobcat, the excavator, the fire truck, how to clean the grease trap and how evacuation procedures. Actually the only thing I am now really working on is the Bus Driving manual. I have had bus driving lessons, but I still could use some more training.

Messing with two guns I have ICS MP5, and Dboys S-System..
I want to wire both guns to the back, fixed stock for the MP5, and a Crane for the S-System.
Inspired my the tutorial on Style School and adapted to fit me better :)

And so here is the way the room looks now. I have some test prints up on the wall showing how changing contrast via the Magenta and Yellow filters affects the overall exposure, using f-stop exposure timing, which I like. (You may notice the numbers for the f-stop sequence I like on the dry-erase board. I think it's: +1/3, +1/2, +2/3, +5/6 and + 1 1/3, for base 8 sec exposure.)
Also notice the yummy chemistry.
I found a Gralab 500 timer for the enlarger, which is AMAZING, and a 300 which I use for developing prints.
I have two safe-lights, a red lightbulb (Safelight Jr.?) and a Kodak can with a 15 watt bulb and OC filter. I was surprised at how bright the Kodak is compared to the red light, but it passes all my 5 minute fog tests, so I'm happy.
I use a Thermos full of hot water to regulate the temp of the chem. I just pour some hot water into a wide bottom beaker and put that in the trays. In a couple minutes, boom, 68 degrees. (20C for you who know).
The water pump system is great. I wired the pump up to a switch, so a flick is all it takes to get fresh water flowing. I use a bucket underneath as a waste receptacle, and only use distilled water for the critical steps. I also added some vinyl tiles to the surface of the worktable for spills, and thrills.
There was no power at all in this part of the garage so I had to run an extension line inside the room and wire up some outlets and a switch for the main light.
The post it notes are indispensable to me! I have written down everything from film developing time to Imperial/Metric volume conversions, how many ml for the 5x7 and 8x10 trays, and ratio and dilution formulae for the chemistry.
Remember that movie Memento?? Thats me.
I LOVE this room!!!

Breakfast with the Chief
By Dave Palmer
LOS ANGELES — Society of American Military Engineers posts from Los Angeles, Orange County and the Inland Empire held their 26th annual joint breakfast meeting Jan. 13. The keynote speaker currently serves as the Acting Chief of Engineers and Commanding General for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Los Angeles District Commander Col. Mark Toy introduced Maj. Gen. Merdith W.B. (Bo) Temple to more than 100 SAME members. He mentioned that, among the general's many accomplishments, he holds the distinction of being the only individual to ever hold all four general officer billets at USACE headquarters. Once a permanent Chief is named, Temple will retire with 37 years-of-service.
For his remarks, Temple took the opportunity to discuss where the Corps and the Army find themselves today and where they are headed.
“As fiscal year 2011 came to an end, the Corps was wrapping up an unprecedented period of construction and project execution,” said Temple. “For example, over the past five years, we provided $12 billion in BRAC-related (Base Realignment and Closure) construction; $7 billion of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (stimulus) work in both military and civil works programs; and about $14 billion of Gulf Coast recovery work!”
And, 2011 brought roughly three times the disaster declarations of a normal year.
“USACE responded to devastating tornadoes and severe spring storms, as well as hurricanes and tropical storms, under the National Response Framework in support of FEMA,” said Temple. “We are working now with the $1.7 billion appropriated supplement to the Corps’ budget in disaster relief to make emergency repairs before the 2012 flood season is upon us.”
For the future the general discussed the continuing fiscal challenges the Nation faces.
“We are operating in a more complex, less certain, resource-constrained environment which requires a more focused, systems-based approach and more collaboration to develop and deliver safe, quality engineering solutions on time, at or below cost, to our customers, stakeholders and partners.”
Even with fiscal challenges, locally, the District will benefit from Obama administration programs like America’s Great Outdoors and the new Urban Waters Federal Partnership which selected the Los Angeles River Watershed as one of seven pilot locations to enhance existing work like the Los Angeles River Revitalization Master Plan.
“The Los Angeles District is a strong supporter of revitalizing the river, with several on-going studies and potential projects that aim to restore riverside habitat, increase public access to the river and promote recreational opportunities,” said Temple.
Military construction projects also hold great promise for the region.
“South Pacific Division’s FY 12 budget is about $1.2 billion, which is about $200 million more than last year, with two significant MILCON projects at Fort Irwin accounting for most of that increase," said Temple. "Another highlight is that Los Angeles District estimates that they will award more than $200 million to small businesses in FY 12.”

April 16: Current Project
Current project is baking. It's on-going. Sometimes with a specific plan to try something new and sometimes on whim because I just need some damn cookies. I've been doing it so much lately that I bought myself the best new rubber spatula.

While at the NRC, her projects included assisting project managers with various tasks, creating a database of important papers related to her division and writing a paper over prototype plants. As a student ambassador, Courtney can’t wait to share her experiences and draw attention to the diverse government agencies. She hopes to educate her peers the many great benefits of working for the federal government!
The current Bodie Island Lighthouse is the third that has stood in this vicinity of Bodie Island on the Outer Banks in North Carolina and was built in 1872. It stands 156 feet tall and is located on the Roanoke Sound side of the first island that is part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. The lighthouse is just south of Nags Head, a few miles before Oregon Inlet. It was renovated from August 2009 to March 2013, and was made climbable by the public.

When the UK MoD procured the current military Land Rover fleet in 1996, the coil-sprung turbo-diesel inter-cooled engine Defender HS/XD or ‘Wolf’ version which primarily replaced the last of the leaf-sprung and petrol engined Series III fleet mostly built between 1971 and 1984, they also had on strength several thousand naturally aspirated diesel engine pre-Defender (mostly) long and short wheelbase Land Rovers mainly built around 1985-87. As these mid-80's vehicles had a planned service life of 15 years plus an expectation of a few more years in reserve stocks, only 8,000 of the Wolf model (plus 800 similarly engined stretched wheelbase Pulse Ambulances) were procured. However by 2006/7 the roughly 4,000-strong pre-Wolf fleet was both overdue for replacement and also assessed as being no longer compliant with the latest road safety regulations. Tithonus was a means of temporarily solving these issues without buying a fleet of new vehicles.
There is no doubt that UK MoD got its money’s worth with the pre-Wolf Land Rover fleet, which saw active service in quantity in the 1991 Gulf War and on following operations in the Former Yugoslavia, though it was mostly the Wolf which stepped up to the plate for the later conflicts in Sierra Leone, Afghanistan and Iraq, but by 2007 the now 20-year old fleet was getting a little jaded and most of the short wheelbase models had been replaced by their younger Tdi-powered siblings. However the option of buying more Wolf Land Rovers was no longer on the table, as not only had this model only ever been produced for the UK Forces and that part of the Royal Netherlands Marine Corps designated to work alongside the Royal Marines, but once the original contract was fulfilled UK MoD expressed no willingness to support Land Rover in keeping the specialist Wolf jigs and pressings in store for future contracts. In 2007 there was no budget available to allow competitive trials, as required under EU rules, for a new vehicle fleet. The option of a mid-life upgrade for the best of the ageing fleet was, however, deemed viable.
It was therefore decided that around £10 million would be spent on cosmetically sprucing up the best 3,700 or so of the remaining pre-Wolf Land Rover fleet to theoretically extend in-service life to over thirty years. That figure, which works out at around £2,700 per vehicle, had to include fitting a new Wolf-style roll-over cage and bodywork strengthening fitments to the rear compartment plus fitting either a new Wolf-style hard top or canopy, and external protection bars also had to be added to the cab as well as a new paint job applied to make the vehicles look a bit smarter. It was suspected that the £10 million figure did not include ABRO staff wages and when the project team were questioned at DVD 2007 they admitted there was no money in the budget for major mechanical upgrades. The brief was simply: To repair the vehicles to field standard, refurbish bulkheads and chassis, renew all brake components, wheel bearings, hub seals and shock absorbers, wax inject chassis and bulkhead, repaint the vehicle and underseal the chassis.
The external inverted safety hoop over the windscreen was bolted to the the door and windscreen hinges and through the wing top and the two welded tubes which ran above and parallel to the door tops were connected through the new hard top to the front internal roll cage hoop by a single bolt. This bolted construction allowed for the top to be removed and the vehicle to be stripped down to waist height for reduced silhouette in combat environments, where safety from enemy attack naturally takes precedence over peacetime road safety considerations. Turning to the rear roll cage cum canopy support, looked quite similar to that of the 1997/8 Wolf model, but it was actually re-engineered by Ricardo to make it stronger. Marketed by the company as ROPS (Roll Over Protection System) the most noticeable internal difference of strengthening was the cross-bracing behind the cab.
Each Tithonus Land Rover was individually selected and fully refurbished by the MoD in 2007-2008 as part of the British Army LEP (Life Extension Programme) The project was to extend the overall service life of the Land Rover's by 10 years, from 20 to 30 years.
