"The charged regions within the atmosphere temporarily equalize themselves through a lightning flash, commonly referred to as a strike if it hits an object on the ground."
I guess these lightnings were approximately 5 to 20 kilometres away, giving me a superb view. I was very lucky being there at dusk, safe from the thundercloud, trying to catch the golden light along with this unique and outstanding phenomena. It's a panoramic photo of two images, taken with 30-second exposure time at f22, iso 400.
It's my first attempt to capture lightnings.
"Lightning occurs approximately 40–50 times a second worldwide, resulting in nearly 1.4 billion flashes per year."
Before moving into environmental politics (and the national parks), my research and teaching focused on the political economy of international trade. So, of course I thought of Paul Samuelson's 1948 Factor Price Equalization Theorem when I saw this scene at the Hot Springs Historic District in Big Bend National Park.
The scene also illustrates a common practice studied by economic anthropologists, the silent trade. (Marcel Mauss, "The Gift," is the locus classicus.) A community may leave out gifts for a neighboring community, who will take the gifts and leave gifts of their own. If both sides are happy with the rate of exchange, the gift-giving (or trade) continues.
Here, Mexican artists leave craft goods for American tourists, who pay for the goods by putting money in the can at left. The Department of Homeland Security defines this practice as "smuggling" and may confiscate the items if you purchase them.
And, yes, I'm a lot of fun at parties.

10th Annual Rock Your Rack Event is on the way!
Breast cancer is one of the leading health crises for women. 12% of women, and an every increasing percentage of men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. There is currently no known cure for breast cancer, and its early diagnosis is critical to survival.
Models Giving Back is pleased to present Rock Your Rack, an annual fundraising event combining the best of SL Music, Art, Dance and Fashion to support the work of breast cancer charities and raise awareness for early detection which is critical to a positive outcome for this devastating disease.
This year's sponsors include Blue Rose Creations, Cute N Cuddly Breedables, BOSLArts, Dark Star Radio, Designs by Soosy, Kultivate Music Management, LOPO District, and Fire Within.
Thank you to our Media sponsors as well for getting the word out: BOSL Magazine, Equalizer Magazine, Grid Affairs, Kultivate Magazine, Hostcrate, Media SL, ModeLS Magazine, The SL Enquirer, and XRadio SL.
This year's event will support the National Breast Cancer Foundation which provides free mammograms, education, support and early detection services to anyone in need.
Designers will be providing limited edition creations with 100% of the sales of those items going to the National Breast Cancer Foundation along with a fine selection of the newest, exclusive and most popular designs for your shopping pleasure. And, of course, the very popular 10L hunt will be up and running in the 50+ different designer booths and 35+ different artist booths.

About Models Giving Back
Models Giving Back is an agency of professional, certified SecondLife models who give of their time and talents to raise funds for legitimate and verified SL and RL charities.
Models Giving Back was founded in October of 2012 by Jamee Sandalwood after a previous agency dedicated to charity work was forced to close due to the owner leaving SecondLife. Jamee felt the work that was being done needed to be continued and set out to lead the models that were already a part of the former agency into new and bigger endeavors at the newly created Models Giving Back.
To date the agency has partnered with dozens of designers and provided models for runway, print and other functions that support charities around SL.
Rock Your Rack is the creation of Jamee Sandalwood and is owned exclusively by Models Giving Back in SecondLife.
Jupiter has its "Great Red Spot"...our sky the other night had a yellow one.
Equalized clouds are pretty darn cool!
"G.I.Joe fields several multirole armored vehicles that can be relied on to provide close-in air defense - most notably the Equalizer and the Mean Dog, both of which are also ferocious in the ground combat role. Unlike these weapons systems, the Sky Sweeper is a dedicated air defense platform, with limited uses against ground targets.
It carries a radar-guided double 25mm cannon and four short range Surface-to-Air Missiles that are transported horizontally, but typically rotated 90 degrees and launched vertically. But the Sky Sweeper's most potent contribution to air defense comes in the form of a large search radar that it can unfold and rotate in 360 degrees from its roof. This radar gives much longer range warning of air threats, including aircraft and missiles, and the information it collects is effectively used as a force multiplier, to increase the effectiveness of other anti aircraft weapons systems. The Sky sweeper carries basic short range air defense package of its own and it will enhance existing anti-aircraft capabilities of any G.I.Joe vehicles it operates in tandem with."
The Sky Sweeper was released as part of the futuristic themed BattleForce2000, back in 1987, when the 21st Century seemed like far away. BattleForce2000 had various separating and combining features that never worked very well in practice, and many Joe fans consider this subteam to be a bit of an embarrassment. But the basic vehicles had some pretty promising designs and one of the strongest IMO was the Sky Sweeper - a dedicated "anti aircraft tank."
www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/skysweeper/
I've done away with the separating bunker that becomes part of a larger "Future Fortress" gestalt, and focused on the basic design and function. Between the role and the name of the Sky Sweeper, I wanted to give it the best possible air defense capabilities I could, so I imagined it as a long-range radar carrier. I even considered giving it no weapons at all, but in the end the side missiles and rear turret won out because it is just more fun that way.
I lightened this, gave it an equalization technique, a maximum technique and light sharpening. These trees are where I live. My neighborhood is likely the second largest Christmas Tree Capital of the World, Monroe & Alpine area of Oregon.
The larger brothers and sisters of these trees have already been heading out to other parts of the nation by huge truckloads. Seems early to me, but some people buy their tree right after Thanksgiving.

The *soul* for this photo is it made my soul feel good to see all these adorable baby Christmas Trees, and rather than being harmed by the winter snow, they seemed to be thriving on it.
This is my first attempt at making a stereographic projection. I was amazed how long it took to process this image with Hugin. It took several hours and I am on a very fast computer. There still are a few flaws in it, but overall it turned out pretty nicely I think. I posted adrian3.com/3/15 if you are curious to learn a little more about the panoramic shots I have been posting recently.
A music score...
colorful and varied they way music should be.
Please do use the equalizer when you listen to your music you might find "hidden" notes on your favorite song.
"Cobra has come to deploy a number of air assets, and G.I.Joe ground forces need to be able to sweep the skies of airborne threats. Enter the Equalizer. Based on the venerable Mauler tank, the Equalizer is armed with a pair of 30 mm autocannons and six SAMs built around a search and tracking radar system. Optimized for short-to-medium range air defense, the Equalizer can track multiple targets, including helicopters, low flying planes, and even missiles, and attack them in order of threat level.
Its 30mm autocannons can also be directed in the direct fire role against ground targets. They are fearsome weapons against any light or medium armored opponent, and their high elevation makes them useful in urban combat and mountain operations. The Equalizer has a crew of three - a driver, commander, and weapons operator."
The G.I.Joe Equalizer www.yojoe.com/vehicles/89/equalizer/ was clearly inspired by Cold War era SPAAGs such as the German Flakpanzer Gepard. I loved the unusually realistic camouflage, and always thought this looked like an absolutely badass toy. The turret on the original seems a little outsize to me, so I redesigned it to be a little smaller, while still keeping the same weapons and radars. My version also has space for the weapons operator to take cover in a "hatches down" position. The hull is simply a recolored rebuild of my Mauler hull, which is a little fragile, but has a nice, low profile. Building new versions of existing vehicles saves a lot on design (R&D) time, and many Joe vehicles were recolored over the years, so I might be doing more of this, including some more personal takes on old designs.

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
New Haven Railroad Parlor Plymouth, built in 1924 to Pullman Parlor plan 3917, is seen in the yard at South Boston, Massachusetts 10-12-1946. This car was air conditioned and rode on six wheel straight equalized trucks. The car had 32 parlor chairs and one drawing room. In 1945 the New Haven Railroad purchased this car and leased it back to Pullman, and eventually it received the newer two tone gray paint scheme. The New Haven utilized these heavyweight parlor cars long after the new lightweight parlor cars arrived on the property, but as parlor car usage demand was reduced, some parlor car were converted to coaches.
The name of the photographer that captured this image on film is Col. T.S. Martorano. This photo came from my personal collection.

Took a trip up to schiphol airport yesterday. Amsterdams airport, and this is what i found, There are still some flights and travellers and a part of the shops are also still operational. However there are vast swatches of airport that are totally deserted. Like here economy and buisnessclass, we´re all grounded now for the most part.
The theme for Macro Mondays is Wise Old Sayings. This is an image of the nose of a .44 caliber bullet, which is peeking out of the cylinder of my Colt 1873 SAA revolver, which is the revolver that inspired the following saying:
Be not afraid of any man
No matter what his size,
When trouble threatens, call on me
And I will Equalize.
Here's another saying inspired by Samuel Colt's six guns:
God made men, but Sam Colt made them equal.
Check the first comment below for a photo of the Equalizer that inspired the sayings.

Synopsis : In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloë Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can’t stand idly by – he has to help her. Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help. He is The Equalizer.

This is a great audiophile setup focused in headphone audio. You can see:
- iMac 20"
- ultra-curve pro deq2496 digital equalizer (below iMac)
- Singlepower mpx3 tube headphone amplifier (customized)
- Marantz cd player (below the tube amplifier)
- Aqvox USB D/A MkI DAC (in silver below the cd player)
The iMac is connected to the DAC through an optical cable and amplified in the singlepower. You can see some of the headphones of my collection to the left, a Grado HF-1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grado_Labs) and (half) sennheiser HD650 with setefan audioart equinox cable. Note the cheap blue headphone stands made with plastic mineral water bottles and cd spindles :)
Holga shot equalized and inverted in "difference" mode in photoshop. Until I did that, I had no idea what the billboard said!
Memphis skyline in the late afternoon sun viewed from across the Mississippi River.
Does anyone else find it ridiculous that it took around 5 or 6 hours to process these photos? I don't mean the software rendering time was that long, I mean that it took me 5 or 6 hours to play with settings in my software until I got a result I liked.
I uploaded 3 tonemapped versions of this HDR shot. This one looks like a watercolour, and has lots of detail and contrast. The other two look a more realistic, but with less definition. I could not decide which one I liked, I hope you will view all 3 and let me know which one you like the most.
This image is created from 13 exposures and is tonemapped using the Perceptual Framework for Contrast Processing of High Dynamic Range Images by Rafal Mantiuk, Karol Myszkowski, and Hans-Peter Seidel in QTPFSGUI with Contrast Equalization engaged.

Derived from the chassis of a civilian heavy hauler, the Equalizer matches its menacing looks with a battery of bombardment weaponry. Able to linger in battle for extended periods of time due to its reinforced plating, the Equalizer delivers punishing volleys against capital ships while also remaining a competent anti-frigate platform.
