Steamtown Museum display of old Rutland Railroad heavyweight baggage car # 129 at Scranton, Pennsylvania, October 1996. This car needs more than just a sandblasting job, primer and new paint. It need some of its side plate steel replaced, along with door and roof rebuilding to make a nice display piece. This is a shorter style baggage car that rides on drop equalized four wheel trucks and contains a double door and a single door on each side.

These photos are from a 2013 county fair. The fair layout was much smaller than the stadium layouts on TV. It was great to see them up close outdoors and fun to take photos from a low angle with a clear view.
This photo is from a backflip Equalizer executed. He completed the backflip OK but landed on his front wheels a little short. He bounced backwards and landed on the roof.

Impressions of Estate Elswoud near Overveen, county Bloemendaal, Netherlands.
In 1634 the Haarlem merchant Carel Molijn bought this partly equalized 85 hectare large dune area to have an estate created there. He had it further equalized selling the sand to be used for building new quarters in Haarlem. In 1780 the estate got once again new owners, the Borski family, who during three generations changed the estates' outlooks drastically. The large house was put down and they started to have a new large house built. Through the sudden death of Mr Borski III in 1884 the work was stopped. Not only the house but also the gardens and the park were greatly influenced by the changes in ownership. Nevertheless there are still beech trees left from the very beginning; they have meanwhile reached a respectable age of more than 250 years... Nowadays the house, the other buildings and the gardens are protected as cultural historical monuments. And ... the large house is under (re)construction in accordance with the original plans.
This is my latest machine, just finished yesterday.
I am calling it The Piano Player. It was made for my father's 75th birthday party which is tomorrow. He taught himself to play piano when I was a kid, and I remember him sitting with his earphones on playing away with no music to hear. I thought it would be fitting for me to make this for him since I am a self taught woodworker.
When the handle is turned, the keys that the fingers rest on move up and down and the corresponding equalizer bars in the back move with them. It is made from Cherry (frame), Maple (keys and mechanical parts), walnut (black keys and finishing dowels), Padauk (equalizer bars), and Yellowheart (hands). The final machine took close to 60 hours to finish, including having to make a custom box to transport it in. That does not include the concept and study models I started with. Dimensions are approx. 22"x16"x10"
I hope to have video edited and ready for upload sometime this coming week, along with a bunch more pictures

1983 Ferrari 512 BBi
In 1981, Ferrari updated the 512 Berlinetta Boxer with a fuel-injected version of the venerable flat-12 engine that delivered a dividend of an additional 20 pound-feet of torque. Capable of reaching 60 mph from standstill in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 174 mph, the 512 BBi primarily remained a European-delivery model due to emissions standards in the United States, although an official federalization program eventually eased the import process for American buyers. By the time the BBi was supplanted by the Testarossa in 1984, just 1,007 examples were built; the model remains a favorite of many enthusiasts who treasure its careful development from the roaring 512 racecars of the early 1970s.
Chassis number 44993 is one of approximately 27 examples appointed with a special interior design by Italian fashion house Ermenegildo Zegna, a unique treatment of wool seat and door inserts with complementary carpeting that was available in several colors. Here, the Ferrari was finished in a stunning color combination of white paint over a cream leather interior with red wool inserts and carpets, and it was equipped with air conditioning and the special Pioneer stereo system with proprietary equalizer. The 512 was reportedly owned by the family of the original buyer through 1996, when it was acquired by John Anton of Minnesota, who retained possession for two decades while treating the car to a life of modest driving use and dutiful upkeep.
Sold to a third owner in 2016, the BBi was treated to a cosmetic restoration in the original color combination that reportedly included a refurbishment of the original Cromodora wheels, which were shod with proper metric Michelin TRX tires. The car was then exhibited at the Cavallino Classic in early 2017.
As reflected by invoices on file, the Ferrari received a significant bout of mechanical work in 2018 from the respected Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro, North Carolina, including a comprehensive engine-out belt service costing nearly $12,000. Acquired by the consignor in January 2019, the 512 has since been maintained as needed by Ferrari of Las Vegas, including clutch and electric system work performed in 2020 and 2021. It displays fewer than 33,600 kilometers (~20,880 miles) at time of cataloguing.
Offered with a toolkit and owner’s manual, radio manual, and dealer service booklet in the proper pouch, and documented with service invoices from 2018 to 2021, this sparingly driven 512 is a particularly fetching example of the final Berlinetta Boxer. It is further distinguished by the rare and sumptuous Zegna interior livery. Ideal for any enthusiast of modern Ferraris, this beautiful BBi would make a distinctive addition to any marque gathering or supercar collection, poised for further display at FCA events or enjoyment on the open road.

1992 Ferrari F40
Engineered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Maranello’s first model, the 125 S, the F40 to this day remains one of Ferrari’s most captivating and impressively specified supercars. The model was originally conceived to be an FIA Group B competitor, and it was consequently developed from the superlative 288 GTO to take on the likes of the Porsche 959. Enthusiasts can be grateful that the F40’s nearly stillborn gestation continued forward even after the racing class was canceled. Rather than scrap the program entirely, Ferrari used the five initial 288 GTO Evoluzione examples as the basis of a new 40th-anniversary road car that would be the last supercar devised under Enzo Ferrari’s stewardship.
As it was designed for competition purposes, the F40 featured a race-developed steel tube-frame chassis with four-wheel double-wishbone independent suspension, coil-over Koni shock absorbers, and four-caliper ventilated disc brakes. Leonardo Fioravanti’s coachwork design, which was aerodynamically perfected in Pininfarina’s wind tunnel, was built with paneling woven of Kevlar and carbon fiber, reducing the curb weight by approximately 20 percent while simultaneously tripling the car’s structural rigidity.
The 288’s twin-turbocharged V-8 was bored to displace 2.9 liters and equipped with IHI turbochargers and Behr intercoolers; this powerplant was married to a five-speed transaxle actuated by a gated shifter. The resulting performance was nothing short of astounding, as the type F120 040 engine developed 478 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque, capable of launching the F40 to 60 mph from standstill in just 3.8 seconds and achieving a top speed of 201 mph (thereby eclipsing the Porsche 959 and Lamborghini Countach).
Cosmetically, the F40 amply reflected its basis in racecar development, with the lightweight body echoed by numerous interior considerations. Weight was further reduced with the use of cloth upholstery on plastic-composite racing seats, pull-strap door releases, drilled pedals, and Perspex windows.
Publicly introduced at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show, the F40 was initially earmarked for a low production run of 400 examples, but skyrocketing customer interest prompted Ferrari to ultimately build 1,315 cars. The commemorative supercar was initially only available in Europe, and early examples were built without catalytic converters or adjustable suspensions. In 1990, deliveries of a more developed version began in the United States; these were standard-equipped with air-conditioning and catalytic converters. By the model’s production conclusion in summer 1992, just 213 examples had been specified and delivered to America, and it remains notable for being the last supercar developed under the watchful eyes of Il Commendatore himself, the legendary Enzo Ferrari.
Occupying such an important position in Maranello’s supercar lineage, it is hardly surprising that many F40 examples were initially purchased by astute collectors and largely restricted to showroom viewing and concours exhibition. Relatively few cars were driven in anger on a track, but a handful of drivers were lucky enough to experience the F40 under such conditions.
Case in point, five-time Le Mans champion Derek Bell was allowed to push the car’s limits during a test drive for Classic & Sports Car magazine conducted during the mid-2000s. His verdict: “It’s just magnificent…This is a car to make your hair curl. The power delivery is sensational, and I love the way the turbos come on with such a rush. Very quickly the situation changes from neutral understeer to amazing oversteer, but it’s all superbly predictable.”
But the endorsement of a pedigreed championship driver was no requirement for the F40 to attract an ardent fanbase, as illustrated by an entire generation of teenage gearheads who proudly displayed posters of the 40th anniversary supercar on their walls. Many of these same children have grown up to be today’s respected collectors, and their continued devotion to the F40 testifies to just how iconic the seminal model truly is.
This desirably documented and modestly driven F40 is one of the finest examples to be publicly offered in recent memory. One of just 60 examples delivered to the United States in 1992, chassis number 91097 completed assembly in September 1991, finished in Rosso Corsa and trimmed with Stoffa Vigogna (vicuña cloth) seat upholstery. According to a copy of an original window sticker on file, the car was shipped for import to Newark, New Jersey, and an entry in the F40’s warranty booklet demonstrates the car was distributed for retail to Monterey Ferrari in Seaside, California, just north of Pebble Beach.
Officially sold in October 1991, the Ferrari was delivered in January 1992 to the first owner, Putra Masagung of Hillsborough, California. The impressive supercar passed through one other California-based ownership over the following 13 years before being acquired circa late 2005 by another enthusiast in California. Throughout this period, the F40 enjoyed steady maintenance and gradually accrued occasional miles before being sold to the consignor more recently.
In February 2020 the F40 was issued certification from Ferrari Classiche, including a Certificate of Authenticity and a Red Book that clarifies the car desirably retains its major original mechanical equipment, including engine and gearbox, and is equipped to proper factory specifications. The Ferrari was also issued a Classiche Libretto Manutenzione, a Classiche-issued maintenance log that is stamped with a factory-conducted service at that time. In preparation for the current offering, the supercar was serviced in February 2022, as reflected by an invoice on file from Ferrari Los Angeles. This attention included a belt service, a rebuild of the fuel injectors and alternator, and a re-sealing of the valve covers with new gaskets and rings. The phase sensors were replaced, the wheels were re-torqued, and a new fuel filter and spark plugs were installed.
Still benefiting from the gentle care of four faithful custodians, this F40 displays the preservative effects of many years in California, and it displays 9,447 miles at time of cataloguing. It is fitted with a Tubi exhaust (though still accompanied by the original factory unit) and shod with correct Pirelli P-Zero tires.
The celebrated Ferrari presents very well cosmetically, and the Red Book certification assures the car is mechanically numbers-matching. Accompanied by a toolkit in pouch, owner’s manuals in the familiar beige leather pouch, and a can of factory-branded fix-a-flat, it is documented with the window sticker copy, warranty booklet, Ferrari Classiche Red Book, and an invoice for the recent servicing. This wonderful F40 should command the attention of any supercar enthusiast or marque aficionado, offering a future highlight to any collection of advanced top-shelf sports cars.

1995 Ferrari F512 M
The Ferrari F512 M, or “Modificata,” was launched in 1994 as the final version of the legendary Testarossa. Ultimately, it was to be the last flat-12-powered Ferrari produced. The marque refined all aspects of the model’s development with particular attention paid to the chassis, engine, and cosmetics. Numerous internal engine upgrades, including titanium rods and other lightened components, along with increased compression, helped bump engine output to 446 horsepower—a boost of nearly 60 units up from the preceding 512 TR.
Coupled with refinements such as a new stainless exhaust, updated suspension, and a new Bosch ABS braking system, the F512 M offers impressive power and fantastic handling assisted by a near 50:50 weight distribution. Styling cues enhancing the model’s design include a unique set of taillights, three-piece alloy wheels, and a completely revised front fascia which combined the striking lines of the F40 and 512 BB/LM. In total, just 501 F512 M examples were manufactured for worldwide distribution, making it one of the rarest road-going models of Luca di Montezemolo's reign at Ferrari.
MODIFICATA NUMERO SESSANTOTTO
This “triple black” F512 M on offer is the 68th of just 75 US-market examples of the model produced by Ferrari. Just four examples of those 75 US cars are recorded to have been specified in this color combination. Having been completed at Maranello in late October 1995, it was thusly distributed to Ferrari of North America in Montvale, New Jersey for dealer assignment. By 8 December it was procured by Algar Ferrari of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and promptly sold to its first Pennsylvania-based owner. The car’s accompanying window sticker and original sales documentation from 31 January 1996 show that its first owner further specified a suite of dealer-installed accessories, including a pair of black floormats bearing the famous “Cavallino Rampante” logo in red, an alarm system, and a hi-fi stereo system with amplifier, CD player, and set of MB Quart speakers.
Modificata number 68 remained with its original owner until 8 July 2008, when it was acquired by the consignor in a deal brokered by Algar Ferrari. Documentation and invoices on file show that Algar Ferrari were exclusively responsible for the car’s maintenance up to that point—and also that its odometer then indicated just 8,003 miles at time of sale.
In April 2010, the consignor engaged Ferrari of New England to complete some minor sorting of the air conditioning system and recalibrate the engine-speed sensor/tachometer. All told, this F512 M has since lived an exceptionally pampered life under the consignor’s careful stewardship, and it now exhibits just under 9,000 miles at time of cataloguing. In April 2022, the consignor again submitted this well-kept Modificata to Ferrari of New England for a comprehensive servicing regimen, which included a major engine-out belt service, plugs, points, gaskets, filters, and four new Michelin Pilot Sport tires to the cost of $21,987.
As the most exciting and refined iteration of the Testarossa platform, the F512 M is considered by many to be the most desirable model in the series. A very rare sight in the United States, they remain highly collectible and prized for all their unique qualities. Featuring just two recorded owners from new and fewer than 9,000 miles on its odometer, this would be an excellent example for the individual looking to enjoy the thrills of flat-12 Ferrari ownership on the open road.

1965 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C by Scaglietti
GIVE IT TWICE AS MANY
At the Paris Salon in October 1964, Ferrari unveiled the replacement for the 250 GT platform. Powered by a 3.3-liter development of the long-running “Colombo” short-block V-12 engine, the 275 GTB was clothed in Pininfarina-designed and Scaglietti-built coachwork that bore more than a passing resemblance to the celebrated 250 GTO. The model was the first Ferrari road car to feature independent rear suspension and a five-speed transaxle, as well as the GTB (Grand Touring Berlinetta) nomenclature that remains in use today.
Only a year after the 275 GTB’s 1964 debut, a second series was unveiled that featured a longer nose, a modification intended to aid aerodynamic downforce at high speeds. By October 1966 the twin-cam engine was replaced with a four-cam arrangement, and the prior model became regarded as a distinct entity, produced in a modest quantity of just 454 examples, of which the early short-nose (first series) design accounted for slightly more than half.
While a majority of these early 275s were equipped with the standard three-carburetor manifold, six carburetors were, in fact, optioned on a relatively small number of cars. Considered the very best of the best, these six-carburetor (6C) short-nose examples are now regarded as the purest and most powerful iteration of the striking 275 GTB, and they are prized by today’s enthusiasts and found in exceptional collections the world over.
275 GTB/6C BERLINETTA 06779
This beautifully maintained six-carburetor 275 benefits from a well-documented chain of ownership that includes just two owners since new. According to the research of marque expert Dyke Ridgley, chassis number 06779 is one of approximately 60 short-nose 275 GTB’s originally equipped with six carburetors.
Originally finished in the handsome shade of Rosso Cina over a cockpit trimmed in beige Connolly leather, this short-nose GTB was further specified with standard steel bodywork, left-hand drive, and instrumentation in miles. The car was “completed” at the factory on 24 February, with an additional note specifying that the six-carb setup was added two weeks later on 15 March. 06779 departed Maranello with that desirable upgrade and had passed through Chinetti on to its first recorded owner—the Canadian retail heir John Craig George Eaton II—by late May 1965.
Eaton greatly enjoyed this impressive berlinetta for several years until around 1970, by which time he had it removed to storage then indicating approximately 24,000 miles. Interestingly, Massini notes that the car’s storage location was, in fact, the racing offices for John Craig’s brother George Ross Eaton, Canada’s first full-time Formula One driver (with BRM) and proprietor of George Eaton Racing.
LIFE WITH THE CONSIGNOR; OWNER NUMBER TWO
The car would remain in a state of static display until 1997, when Eaton sold it to the consignor in a deal brokered by Ferrari of Ontario. Part of the sales agreement on file notes that 06779 was to be completely restored by the dealer, and so the next four years were spent returning this fascinating 275 GTB/6C to a state befitting its formidable factory specifications. At this time, its original color scheme was replaced by its present Giallo Fly exterior and Pelle Beige leather upholstery. Freshly reborn and entirely road-ready, the consignor first took possession of 06779 upon completion of its exhaustive restoration in late 2001, then indicating just shy of 24,900 miles.
The consignor initially procured much enjoyment from his ownership experience by driving this freshly restored car, but after a move to Arizona in 2005, he subsequently decided that 06779 was such an important prize that he had it installed for static display in his living room for the next 17 years.
Recent research has shown that at some point in the distant past, possibly as early as when the car was handled new by Chinetti, the identity of 06779 and 07177 were swapped by someone outside of the factory. Both were sold new by Chinetti, and both were born a shade of red with beige interior and six carburetors. The original 07177 headed out to the US West Coast while the original 06779 was sold new to Mr. Eaton in Canada. However, it was uncovered much later on that each car had been superficially stamped with the other’s identity. Half of this mystery was rectified in 2010, when the Belgian owner of the original 07177 brought the car to Ferrari Classiche (then stamped as 06779) and confirmed that all its equipment matched Ferrari’s internal records for the components recorded in chassis 07177, and its identity was properly returned to original.
After confirming the situation with Ferrari, the consignor similarly returned our subject lot to Ferrari Classiche headquarters in Maranello in early 2022 so that they could issue a Classiche Red Book and properly return the car to its original identity. Accordingly, 06779’s major components were certified as those bearing the correct “internal” numbers, and its Ferrari Classiche Red Book confirms it to be a full numbers-matching 275 GTB/6C, with its identity now correctly restored to 06779.
Just prior to this sale, 06779 has been returned to its high-performance 6C specification and fully certified by Ferrari Classiche. Chassis number 06779 is a rarified 275 GTB that is truly worthy of inclusion in any of the world’s most exclusive Ferrari collections. Having just two owners since 1965 and offered today with an additional set of Campagnolo “starburst” alloy wheels, tools, manuals, circa 1997 restoration invoices, and new Classiche Red book, this stunning berlinetta would be a brilliant car to drive and enjoy—and one that would surely attract plenty of attention at the world’s most exclusive concours events.

It was goals-a-plenty in this West Lancashire League Premier Match with Lostock taking a 24th minute lead but going in at half time level after a late goal. Lostock regained the lead early in the second with Oxley getting his brace but 2 goals from Whitehaven took them in front. Matty Bulcock fired in an equalizer from distance to level once again. LSG finished the game with 9 players after late dismissals for Wilkinson and Riding.
In modern India, the great equalizer is the mobile phone!! Surprised?? Well...dont be!! In a country that has been plagued and defined by its many class systems...based on region, religion, creed, caste and economic levels...mobile technology has emerged as the equalizer!! It might not make sense to a lot of people...but in India, what you do for a living has a lot to do with your 'station' in life....archaic huh??
This man is a migrant construction worker. One of the millions of struggling hordes dreaming the 'Indian Dream'. He does not speak the local language Kannada and communication is difficult. He hardly knows to read. His children dont go to school and run around freely. Some day he hopes to enroll them in the 'English School'. His wife, pregnant with another child, works on the construction site as well, carrying loads of concrete and brick on her head. And yet...he has the same mobile device as the Medical college students down the road and the MNC bank officer in the pink house and the just-returned-from-america-software-pro whose house he is building. In fact his device is way better than the one I carried while I was in India during this vacation!! :-))))
Mobile users are estimated to be at 80 Million users....no one has the exact count. The number apparently grows by 5 million users a month!! It turns out that India is the hottest market for Mo-tech today....

More commonly known as the ARO Spartana. This one is a 1998 export model and also my first car, which I intend to restore. Also being an export model this car has a few goodies like remote locking, no heating, radio with cassete player and equalizer from the factory.
Einfach ne coole perspektive. fand das zusammenspiel des lichts, der reflektion in verbindung mit dem tunnelblick irgendwie fotogen ^^.
wirkt so schön düster,...aber cool- wie ich finde ;-).
This is the "five band equalizer". This ten-tube Grundig flagship radio boasts five speakers & the equalizer fingerwheels each make a very noticeable difference in bass, treble and midrange. The one in the middle can very nearly cut the vocals out of any song...karaoke emcees take notice! The overall fidelity rivals any Bella series Loewe Opta and the volume alone can make even era Blaupunkt designers rethink their gameplan. Behind each wheel is an activated panel with a red dot that moves vertically across the musical scale; each dot is connected to the other four by a tensil thread! Clever, eh?!??

VL60, first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive designed by NEVZ has ALSTOM type of primary wheelset suspension using two diagonal link arms in combination with helical and leaf springs. ВЛ60 (VL60) was the first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive, it was universal designed both for cargo and passenger transportation. The model was developed by NEVZ and produced in 1957-67 in large seria of 2618 ones. Initially they had ignitron rectifiers that were later replaced by silicone ones (that indicated by "К").
The document on the left shows that two other property-tax payers' vacant lots in a subdivision are assessed at $10,263, they own 5-lots between them. I own nine lots in this subdivision, my lots are assessed at $35,000.
I can't sell these lots now due to the economy and, the subdivision's roads in Unit 5 have not been put in yet or the sewers approved. A developer won't buy "as is" and put the roads in, so these 10-lots are worth less than the ones in Unit 2
Currently, our Unit 2 & 5 HOAs are suing the sewer contractor for not proving they compacted the soil under the roads, where the sewers are. Without proof of impacting, the County won't approve our sewers.
If the sewers were approved in Unit 2, they would be worth $30k ea. if not approved, we'll hafta pay thousands more to get it right.
Other parts of Unit Two have houses. Once the sewers are approved, the majority lot owners (they own about 90% of the lots) will offer to sell our lots to a housing developer, like KB Homes.
Almost every dollar I earn goes to pay property taxes (no long vacation this year), the taxes are draining me like vampires. If I don't pay five years in a row, I'll lose the land to taxes . . . same way I got them in the first place. "What goes around comes around."
Used to be I could sell lots easily. The lots were like a bank account. Now they're not selling. Prices are reduced to half the price they were three years ago. (Half the assessed values.)
Pima County Assessor did not reduce the values on any of my lots this year Pinal County Assessor did, I didn't appeal any of the lots I own in Pinal County. One of the lots in Pinal once sold for $125k during the peak, now I can't sell it for $23k. That's how bad it is here.
I kept telling them (with graphs to prove it), "The market values have declined to 2006-levels where the taxes were affordable."
Map link shows Unit Two; Unit 5 is east of Two -- a very old satellite view .
Here's a picture of one of my lots in Unit Two.
National Bank of Arizona lost $35-million on loans to develop these lots.
See also this pic of me before the State Board of Equalization.
---------------------------------
UPDATE (9 June 2011): I missed the deadline to appeal this year. (Thought the appeal date was the same as Pinal County's.) I really hate the Assessor for not believing me that these properties are overvalued.
Essentially the Deputy Assessors are calling me stupid and a liar as if they know what I can sell these for.
Many of these properties the County would be interested in buying for parks and conservation. (Here's my proposal to the County to buy some land. Unfortunately, the County doesn't have any money to buy anymore. A few years ago they bought about $90,000 of land from me.
I believe they are doing this to me because they hate me and that they are either extremely evil, inept or they know they have to suck as much money as they can to keep their boat afloat.
The Unit Two sewers were approved and I anticipate selling two lots soon but it's complicated.
Hope to get out of this business and sell everything, taxes are waaaay toooo much!
___________________
UPDATE (19 Feb 2012): Woke up today thinking how the Pima County Assessor is ruining my livelyhood. (Note that the Pinal County Assessor has reduced my assessed values according to the economy.) I was thinking: These deputy assessors can tell their grandchildren how, during the Great Recession they ruined me. The housing values in Pima County have fallen to 2003-levels and they are NOT reducing my values accordingly. When I bought these vacant lots, the values were very low and I could afford to pay taxes . . . I'm going to write a long letter to accompany my appeals this year and confront these devils face-to-face to hear their responses! I think about this every day . . . it hurts.

Unfortunately it remained low-production (only 80 for 1978-1992) and after USSR breakage Ukrainian plant VZOR (renamed to Luhansk Locomotive Works) continued to develop the series 2TE116, which in the last, the UD model received 4000 hp diesel engine of American manufacture.
2TE121 mainly operated on the Northern Railway of Russia and Donetsk Railway of Ukraine. After the collapse of the USSR, repair of diesel locomotives available in Russia was difficult, and they were not needed in Ukraine, where they were massively decommissioned by 1994-95. In Russia some of them continued to operate on the Oktyabrskaya railroad until 2010, the last one was decommissioned in 2014.

Downtown St. John's with the historic Newfoundland Pink White and Green tricolour flying.
The flag along with the Union Jack, appears on the cover of the sheet music for The Ode to Newfoundland, by Sir Cavendish Boyle, published in January, 1902 and adopted as the official anthem of Newfoundland on May 20, 1904.

The polished prow of a black Egyptian reed ship slowly became a computer headset, as Word swam into vision - the frog jumped off the sliding glass door and into the house where I slept. Parking my other stuff, I took off my straw hat in some strange maneuver to use to flush the little green fellow out of carpeted corners and back to the very wet outside deck. Fall in the Olympian evergreen forests carried by streams of cool water falling on a warm night –little green tree frogs falling with the rain.
Billy knocked and asked me if I was ok – after using the bathroom.
“Wasn’t me,” I said, “I haven’t left the room since you last passed through and I told you about the little frog jumping into the house.“
Billy said “But you shut the door, and I could hear you coughing in there.”
“Nope, I haven’t moved since you were last here.”
Billy looked at the ceiling and played his experience back he said, “Oh - That was Pa in there – he shut the door and was coughing and making sounds in the bathroom.”
“I think we should talk to your dad about hanging around,” I said thinking back on noises from last night and my occasional strange dream of dying with old men.
“If he likes hanging around here then we should let him,” Billy said, all fuzzy head and whiskers, stepping into the black hall dressed head to foot in black. I had given him something that made him my best friend now, as if I weren't already – he came back from walking with Rosie having missed seeing me on the corner. Waving her pink bags at me he said – “You can make it to the corner, you should make it to the next corner.”
But my hands steadily gripped my twin pink and blue aluminium support rods –
“No she won’t need em” I predicted, shaking my unsteady head no to Billy when it would have been funner to accept the offering pink flags. Pink bags I carry with me in my sneaky black purse slapped up tight against my back – you just don’t notice such things mostly.
Me hobbling along on my double canes Rosie raced me back across the neatly trimmed mini-yards of the community, and thinking we were going further she stepped into the street - like she was merely alert and poised for more deer to walk into the clear puddles.
“Let’s go back” I said to Rosie, she studied exactly how I turned which told her everything, then “Go Find Billy!” and she was off, just like we were racing to find him, or it was possible I could win.
Ya never know.
VL60, first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive designed by NEVZ has ALSTOM type of primary wheelset suspension using two diagonal link arms in combination with helical and leaf springs. ВЛ60 (VL60) was the first soviet mass-built a.c. electric locomotive, it was universal designed both for cargo and passenger transportation. The model was developed by NEVZ and produced in 1957-67 in large seria of 2618 ones. Initially they had ignitron rectifiers that were later replaced by silicone ones (that indicated by "К").

Respectively DeWalta and Mike Shannon are two of house music's coolest characters. Both of them specialise in rolling and bumping beats that ooze groove, with DeWalta a regular at the Fuse parties and Mike Shannon a resident at Half Baked. If you've been to those raves, you know they go down every, single, time. Get the new DeWalta and Shannon Equalization Dub single for free on Mixmag
Together though DeWalta & Shannon are even more affective, having released several collboartive EPs via labels like Cynosure and Meander. Now though they take the plunge into album territory and 'Residual' has all the makings of something very special.
Dropping on Indigo Raw, the LP will be released through two vinyls and a digital drop and promises more space-age, funk-fuelled house. To celebrate the release we've got an exclusive download that didn't make the album but that doesn't mean it falters in quality, far from it.
DeWalta and Shannon Equalization Dub is a glitchy, shifty track that has all the components to make your shoulders roll with intent.
Expect squelchy percussion, cosmic effects and a constant, venomous drive. Grab this one while it's still hot and don't say we don't spoil you.
'Residual' is out now on Indigo Raw
Two prolific masters of warm, jazzy, earth shaking techno, producers Mike Shannon and David Koch, aka DeWalta, met in the dark electro corners of Berlin and immediately melded their club minded skills. Kitchener raised Canadian Shannon, rose up through the minimal techno scenes of Toronto, Detroit and Montréal, where he started label Cynosure Recordings (Deadbeat, Akufen and Ernesto Ferreyra among many) as well as Revolve Recordings (with Jeff Milligan), and continued on to Berlin.
DeWalta, classically trained in French horn, saxophone and piano, hit the European house and techno circuit hard in 2008 with his instrument heavy hybrid of jazz, house and swing, soon launching the Meander imprint with Fabian Geimer and Jens Krömer in Berlin.
Since their 2010 collaboration on the Haunt Music label’s Surrender EP with Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts, Shannon & DeWalta has released four EPs: syncopated synth groove No Rest for the Wicked on Cynosure, slowmo digital feast The Adventures of Saint Jack De Smoove on Meander, loose saxophone and keyboard jam All Inclusive on Haunt, and their latest multilayered beatscape The Runaway Sugar Cube on Cynosure.
