Developed in the mid-1950s, the V-750 Dvina was the first effective Soviet surface-to-air missile. The Soviets used it to shoot down Gary Powers' U-2 over the USSR in 1960 and Maj. Rudolph Anderson's U-2 over Cuba in 1962. The missile was better known by the NATO designation SA-2 Guideline. The Soviets began exporting it to many countries worldwide in 1960, with many remaining in use into the 21st century.
North Vietnam began receiving SA-2s shortly after the start of Operation Rolling Thunder in the spring of 1965. With Soviet help, they built several well-camouflaged sites, regularly moving SA-2s and their equipment among them. The North Vietnamese also ringed SA-2 sites with anti-aircraft artillery (AAA), making them even more dangerous to attack.
SA-2 Site
The SA-2 did not operate alone, but as part of a complete system. A typical SA-2 site in North Vietnam had six missiles on launchers, control and support vans, a Spoon Rest acquisition radar, and a Fan Song guidance radar.
The Spoon Rest radar detected incoming aircraft at long range (as far as 70 miles), providing location data to the system computer.
The Fan Song guidance radar performed two functions: target acquisition and missile guidance. It acquired as many as four targets before firing. After launch, it guided up to three SA-2s against one target. (The North Vietnamese sometimes placed the radars away from the missiles to make the site harder to destroy.)
The SA-2 missile had a solid fuel booster rocket that launched and accelerated it, then dropped off after about six seconds. While in boost stage, the missile did not guide. During the second stage, the SA-2 guided, and a liquid-fuel rocket propelled it to the target.
How Radar Works
Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) can be likened to shouting in a valley and hearing an echo in return. A radar emitter sends out radio waves, which hit an object and reflect back to a radar receiver. Much information can be gained by calculating the time and angle of the reflected radio waves.
Basic radar can simply indicate the presence of an object from several miles away, while more advanced radars can provide the speed, altitude and heading of an aircraft. Radar information can be used in many ways, including providing early warning of an attack, directing defensive fighters, aiming anti-aircraft artillery fire and guiding missiles (including SAMs).
SA-2 Guideline (V-750VK Dvina) Surface-to-Air Missile and Launcher
The reusable SA-2 launcher rotated 360 degrees and typically raised the missile between 30 and 60 degrees for launch. Removable wheels (not displayed) allowed the launcher to be moved quickly. In fact, North Vietnamese SAM crews could pack up and move a site in about four hours.
One vital capability of the Wild Weasels was being able to identify and immediately strike an active site. Before the Wild Weasels, the enemy often moved out of a site by the time a strike force was put together to hit it.

Very much the same as the last model. This one differs in that it uses 45 degree arcs and the pleats are proportional to the height of the curve.
Phase One told me that Capture One Pro 6.3.5 doesn't support Pentax DNG-files. Only Adobe DNG 1.2 (whatever that is). So, these funny colours occure from the DNG-files from my Pentax K-01.
The images with a purple sky are DNG files. The normally looking images are JPEG's.
So, I am going to use Silkypix Pentax for my K-01 "RAW" files. I'm not very happy about this, because I don't really want more than one RAW converter. And Capture One (made by Phase One who also own Phase One, Mamiya and Leaf cameras) is (otherwise) a brilliant tool for converting and editing photographs.
Anybody know of a Pentax DNG to Adobe DNG file converter?
June 2014: I use Adobe Lightroom today - no problems supporting DNG's from the K-line or the 645D. I hate the user interface, though. I never really know what I'm doing or where my images are stored.

The Electroencephalogram measures an individual’s brainwave activity and is used in neurology, neuropsychology, and general medicine.
All the things I ordered to be able to develop black and white film came in today (February 10th, 2010). Pictured here is the Kodak D-76 developer and Kodak fixer, along with a Patterson Universal tank and a good thermometer. I also got some Ilford Ilfostop stopbath and Kodak Photo-Flo 200 for the other steps. Also, I got some Ilford ID-11 and Ilford fixer so I could try them out and compare the results with the Kodak chemicals. While I was at it, I also added in a generous selection of black and white films, 100 and 400 ISO, in 135 and 120 sizes. Since the Patterson tank can develop both, I have everything I need now.
It's been almost 30 years since I last developed film and I'm anxious to get my hands back into the process. As of midnight, I had my first roll of Fomapan Classic black and white film developed and hanging to dry. Can't wait to scan the negatives and post them here on Flickr.

This project is being developed on Farrer Road. It is very near Holland road and is just 10 minutes’ drive away from Orchard road. Nearby schools, MRT stations, shopping malls, and other facilities make Wilshire Residence a very feasible option. Highways are connected to the residencies too. The Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE) offer the pathway from this residency to other major cities.
Education is always a top priority. Residents of Wilshire Residence can opt for the best schools for their kids without having to worry about distance. With one to two kilometres away, there are primary schools such as Nanyang Primary (1km) and Raffles Girls’ Primary, Queenstown Primary and New Town Primary School. Secondary school that are within a short drive away include St Margaret’s Seconday, Singapore Chinese Girls’ School and St Joseph Institution.
The Wilshire Residences will be a 12-storey building comprising of 2 residential towers. There will be 4 units on each floor, spread in 2 lift cores. Units on all sides offer a view. Some will look over the Botanic Garden, others will open into Victoria Park, while some will be facing Holland Village. Some units are described as typical whereas the others are categorized as penthouses.
Foraging is a centuries-old practice, but many of the mushrooms in British Columbia are just now being identified through DNA sequencing and the enthusiasm of amateur collectors.
I developed this pattern because I love fingerless mitts and wanted something light enough for all seasons and indoor wear. My house is old and drafty and even in the spring and summer it can get rather cool indoors.
I really like the look and feel of the moss stitch on the palm. I had forgotten about the fact that stockinette tends to roll on the edges, so the pattern has been written to work the last few rows of this pattern in the moss stitch so you get the same finished edge as you see on the palm side. Worked on Straight needles this should be easy for a beginner to knit up.
This pattern is named for the Acorn Rib Stitch that is used on the cuff.

Happy Knitting:)
On December 8th, 2012 P4K and EPN launched the Farmers of the Future program officially in Gueriguinde. Both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Livestock participated in front of a huge crowd of 400! This program is being piloted in three schools in Libore, with the goal of changing the mindset of children about agriculture -- teaching them that it is a business not merely a way to subsist.
From September 15th to 19th the second of the four JCOM Masterclasses, educational programmes aimed at an international audience and held by international experts takes place. For the 20 selected participants this interactive course represents a unique opportunity to discuss the state-of-the-art of science exhibition development with particular focus on the possible different design approaches, helping participants to reflect on the relationship between the different media, contents and visitors' experience.
This storm came oh-so-close to producing a tornado, but in the end it wasn't meant to be. This shot was taken from a dirt road east of Highway 385 about 10-15 miles southeast of Bridgeport.

A developing Supercell across far Northeast Wisconsin on July 1 2017. Only isolated storms were expected, but this beast began to develop along an old outflow boundary from a storm early in the afternoon. Aiding in the development was a lake breeze boundary. The updraft was so explosive.
