The faulty crane at Hotel La Tour site has been dismantled after the fault the previous day caused traffic problems in the City Centre.
From The Priory Queensway. Took this too fast, and got a finger in the way. A bus was also in the way.
Near Masshouse.
I wonder if they will replace the malfunctioning crane with a new one. As I don't know when construction on the hotel will resume.
So here I am, my shadow at least, sometimes I do not very rational things, like deciding to go to work by bike even when my work is more then ten kilometres far away... But even if a little more tired I am satisfied and for sure less stressed by the trafic...
Original shot taken using a faulty Panasonic Lumix Camera, the series of picture where shooted while running by bike, maybe not the safer thing in the world. Some post processing.

Banteay Kdei (Khmer: ប្រាសាទបន្ទាយក្តី; Prasat Banteay Kdei), meaning "A Citadel of Chambers", also known as "Citadel of Monks' cells", is a Buddhist temple in Angkor, Cambodia. It is located southeast of Ta Prohm and east of Angkor Thom. Built in the mid-12th to early 13th centuries AD during the reign of Jayavarman VII (who was posthumously given the title "Maha paramasangata pada"), it is in the Bayon architectural style, similar in plan to Ta Prohm and Preah Khan, but less complex and smaller. Its structures are contained within two successive enclosure walls, and consist of two concentric galleries from which emerge towers, preceded to the east by a cloister.
This Buddhist monastic complex is currently dilapidated due to faulty construction and poor quality of sandstone used in its buildings, and is now undergoing renovation. Banteay Kdei had been occupied by monks at various intervals over the centuries until the 1960s.
GEOGRAPHY
The Banteay Kdei, one of the many Angkor temples, is located in the Angkor Archaeological Park of 400 square kilometres area. The ancient city of Angkor during the Khmer Empire extended from Tonle Sap to the Kulen hills covering a vast area of 1,000 square kilometres. The temple is approached from the east gopura of Ta Prohm along a 600 metres path. This path leads to the west gate entrance gopura of Banteay Kdei. It is 3 kilometres east of Angkor Thom.
HISTORY
The name Banteay Kdei originates from an earlier name, Kuti, which is mentioned in the Sdok Kak Thom. This stele describes the arrival of Jayavarman II to the area, "When they arrived at the eastern district, the king bestowed an estate and a village called Kuti upon the family of the royal chaplain." This royal chaplain was the Brahman scholar Sivakaivalya, his chief priest for the Devaraja cult.The Khmer Empire lasted from 802 to 1431, initially under Hindu religious beliefs up to the end of the 12th century and later under Buddhist religious practices. It was a time when temples of grandeur came to be built and reached a crescendo during the reign of Suryavarman II until 1191, and later in the 12th–13th centuries, under Jayavarman VII. Many Buddhist temples were built, including the Banteay Kdei, from middle of the 12th century to early 13th century. Though Jayavarman VII was credited with building many temples, he was also accused of squandering money on extravagant temple building projects at the expense of society and other duties. He built Buddhist temples in which Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara was the main deity. This temple built, conforming to the style of the Ta Prohm and Preah Khan temples in the vicinity during the same period by Jayavarman VII, but of a smaller size, was built as a Buddhist monastic complex on the site of a 10th-century temple built by Rajendravarman. Some small inscriptions attest to the building of this temple by Jayavarman VII and the royal architect, Kavindrarimathana.Jayavarman VII had come to power at the age of 55 after defeating Chams who had invaded Angkor and subjected it to devastation. His "prodigious activity" resulted in the restoration of Cambodia from its ruins. He was chiefly the architect of the rebuilt capital at Angkor Thom and was called a "Great Builder". He was responsible for building many temples, which apart from Banteay Kdei, included the central temple of the Bayon, Prah Khan, Ta Prohm and many others, and also many rest houses for pilgrims. The reasons for building this temple at its present site is not known. However, it is established that the temple is a contemporary of the Angkor Wat as many similarities have been identified between the two, and also with Phimai temple in Thailand. It is reported to be the first temple built by Jayavarman VII in 1181 AD, opposite to the Srah Srang reservoir.
In the 13th century, most of the temples built by Jayavarman were vandalised. However, some of the Mahayana Buddhist frontons and lintels are still seen in good condition. It is also the view of some archaeologists that the temple was built by Jayavarman II in honour of his religious teacher.
The temple, which for several centuries after the Khmer reign ended, remained neglected and covered with vegetation. It was exposed after clearing the surrounding overgrowth of vegetation in 1920–1922. This work was carried out under the guidance of Henri Marchal (then Conservator of Angkor) and Ch. Battuer, by adopting a conservation principle which was known as "the principle of anastylosis, which was being employed very effectively by the Dutch authorities in Indonesia". It was partially occupied by Buddhist monks till the 1960s.
For ten years till March 2002, Sophia University Mission or the Sophia Mission of Japan carried out several Archaeological research at the Banteay Kdei temple. During these investigations, a cache of fragments of 274 Buddhist statues made in sandstone, along with a few metal art pieces, were unearthed, in 2001. Plans to build a storage room to house the statues was also planned.
LAYOUT
The sacred temple complex is cloistered and packed in a space of 65 m × 50 m with three enclosures within a large compound wall of size 700 m × 300 m, made of laterite stones. The entry is from the east facing gopura, which is in a cruciform embellished with Lokesvara images. The temple is a treasure house of sculptures in the architectural styles of the Bayon and also of the Angkor Wat. The complex is on a single level.External enclosure. The external enclosure with four concentric walls, has four gopuras similar to the Ta Brahm temple, and all are in some degree of preserved status. At the four corners, the gopuras have a fascia of Lokesvara (Buddhist deity, Avalokitesvara) mounted over Garuda images (it is also mentioned that the smiling faces are of King Jayavarman II, similar to those seen in the Beyan temple). The east facing gopura, in particular, has well-preserved garuda images on its corners. Two hundred meters from the west entrance of this enclosure leads to a moat, which is decorated with statues of lions and naga-balustrades mounted on garudas. The moat itself has in its precincts the third enclosure which measures 320 m × 300 m, also enclosed with laterite walls. The Buddha image at the entrance to the moat, near the second interior gate, is well preserved, considering the fact that most of the other statues have been destroyed or stolen.Third enclosureThe third enclosure has a gopura which has a cruciform plan. It has pillars which are crossed by vaults. There are three passages in this enclosure, two on either side are independent, with laterite walls. The niches here have small figurines, and large apsara devatas in single poses or in pairs of dancing poses. Large Buddha images, in an internal courtyard of this enclosure, have been defaced by vandals. A paved access from here leads to the main shrine, which comprises two galleried enclosures. At the entrance to these enclosures, from the eastern end, is the "Hall of Dancers", which has four open courtyards and the pillars have fine carvings of apsaras. Second enclosureThe second enclosure, which is part of the main temple, measures 58 m × 50 m. It has a gopura on its eastern side and also subsidiary gopura on the west. Entrance doors are at the northern and southern ends. The gopura is built like a gallery with one exterior wall and double row of pillars which open into a courtyard and which has mostly shored up walls with small openings at the bottom to allow air circulation. The niches here are decorated with images of apsaras, and a Buddha statue in the central hall has been defaced by vandals. Bayon style architectural features built-in are the "balustered false windows with lowered blinds and devatas with headdresses in the form of small flaming discs set in a triangle." The vaults built in sandstone and laterite have collapsed at several locations of the gallery. The inner enclosures contain library building to its north and south and also a central sanctuary. Inner enclosureThe inner enclosure of the main temple is built on a 36 m × 30 m layout plan. This enclosure has four corner towers abutted by small gopuras. Galleries running along an axis link these towers to the main sanctuary. The towers at the north-east and south-east are linked with the second gallery where a Buddha statue in a sitting posture is seen, in the backdrop of an open sky line. The sanctum which is 2.75 m square enclosure has some traces of statues of deities. This entire enclosure, however, is not built in Bayon style and hence conjectured to be of an earlier period. Remnants of wooden ceiling are also seen here. The entrance to the sanctum is flanked by dvarapalas surrounded by apsaraSrah SrangSrah Srang or "The royal bathing pool" or "pool of ablutions" to the east of Banteay Kdei, which was dug to dimensions of 700 metres x300 metres during the reign of Rajendraverman in the 10th century, was beautified by Jayavarman VII with well laid out steps of laterite stones with external margin of sandstone, on the banks of the pond facing the Sun. It is set amidst large trees and has turquoise blue waters all the year round. The approaching steps to the water edge are flanked by two stone statues of lions with ornamented Nāga-balustrades. The pond was reserved for use by the king and his wives. A stone base seen at an island in the centre of the pond once housed a wooden temple where the king did meditation. At the lily filled lake, watching sunset reflections in the lake is quite an experience. The water from the lake is now used for rice cultivation by farmers of the area.
ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES
Some specific architectural features which evolved with the Bayon style are clearly discerned in this temple. The roof is supported on free-standing pillars in the eastern and western pavilions in the third enclosure, built in a cruciform plan with the inner row of pillars supporting the roof. The pillars are also tied to the wall by a tie beam using a "mortise-and-tenon join" patterned on wooden structures. Other features noted are of the four central pillars in the western pavilion which have been strengthened with temporary supports of laterite stone block pillars. Carvings of Buddha are seen on all these pillars but mostly defaced. The temporary support system provided to the roof built on free standing pillars is indicative of problems of design seen in the temples built during this period.
RESTAURATION
Laser scans and imaging of the Banteay Kdei and Angkor Wat Western Causeway were performed within a project launched in March 2004 by the University of California and Sophia University of Tokyo, in partnership with the nonprofit CyArk. The obtained information has facilitated restoration and reconstruction of these structures, which is funded by the Sophia University, and much publicly accessible data from the project is hosted on the CyArk Website. The APSARA Authority has achieved significant improvements in conservation and preservation of monuments in Angkor. Some of the towers and corridors are under restoration and as a result some locations have been cordoned off. Strengthening measures are seen in some parts of the interior temple area where structures in danger are tied together with cables.

State Senators Tim Larson and Cathy Osten told federal Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson that Connecticut residents need an immediate and massive infusion of federal aid of about $1 billion to repair their crumbling foundations, or risk losing their homes. Sens. Larson and Osten took part in an hour-long roundtable discussion at the Tolland Fire Training Center with federal, state and local authorities in hopes of convincing federal authorities to offer assistance to the nearly 1,000 Capitol-region residents who know or suspect their home foundations may have been made with faulty concrete. Secretary Carson said he would bring Connecticut's concerns to President Trump and the federal EPA "to help them understand the magnitude of what is going on." (June 4, 2018)

Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector
www.flickr.com/photos/lonesomecrow/3975601137/in/set-7215...
It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
After nearly a year, I am finally repairing the damage from gluing faulty red glass beads to the driver's side of That Car #3.

While it is not what I had planned, there are always potholes on the highway of life. I hope to have this stripe of wine corks finally finished before the 1st annual Scenic City Artcar Weekend in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Ellerslie International Flower Show, Christchurch March 8, 2013 NZ.
The 2013 show – running from 6-10 March at Christchurch’s North Hagley Park – has attracted high-quality, world-class gardens from a selection of top international exhibitors along with New Zealand’s best gardeners and designers.
The best of British – top garden designer Andrew Fisher-Tomlin and multi award-winning young British brothers Tom and Paul Harfleet – will be exhibiting. Fisher-Tomlin is also Convenor of Judges.
The expanded fashion and food elements are also bound to be a hit and mean Ellerslie International Flower Show has something to tempt people of all ages with varying interests.
Ellerslie International Flower Show Exhibition Manager Kate Hillier says the line-up of exhibits is impressive.
“Ellerslie has built a reputation as New Zealand’s annual flower show and just like the famous Chelsea Flower Show in London forecasts the latest garden design trends and plant fashions. Visitors to Ellerslie get the first chance to see the hottest new plants, colours and looks by the country’s leading landscape architects and garden designers.”
A highlight of the show will be New Zealand’s legendary Weta Workshop featuring their fantasy sculptures in one of the key garden exhibits.
The sculptures will feature in former All Black Andy Ellis and landscape architect Danny Kamo’s exhibition garden – a re-enactment of their successful entry at the 2012 Singapore Garden Festival which won Gold in a field of 15 of the world’s top garden designers. After Singapore the garden was adapted to provide a stunning native bush setting for Johnny Fraser-Allen’s ‘The Gloaming’ exhibition, curated and presented by Weta Workshop’s Sir Richard Taylor and Tania Rodger in Wellington late last year.
The amazing feature garden exhibit will not be judged, it is there to entertain and delight and an opportunity for Christchurch to have Weta Workshop right here in the Garden City.

'Paysage fautif' or 'Faulty landscape' is one of the most original works of Marcel Duchamp. It was made in 1946 and dedicated to Maria Martins, a Brazilian sculptor and Duchamp’s lover whom he met in 1942. It represents a response to experimentation on the body and with the body in the art, a practice spread especially in the late 1950s. This is considered such an original and provocative piece because of the material he used to create it – his own sperm (although it was not discovered until 1989 that’s Duchamp’s seminal liquid was used). Even in 1946 this piece marked the beginning of a series of works, drawings, objects, and magazine covers which refer to eroticism and Freudian ideas.
Police Scotland police car with faulty reverse lights. Spotted in Kilmarnock, Friday 31st August 2018.
They're spending too much time putting Gaelic on the cars and not enough ensuring they're maintained.
Police Scotland would prosecute you for a similar offence, and probably add dangerous driving too given the speed they reversed in to the space (after he finished his hand-held phone call).

Not a great photo, the result of a faulty camera I had at the time which would not focus randomly even when there was plenty of light, such as here! Seen at the bottom of Cutenhoe Road in Luton in September 2003 is Grant Palmer's ex-Thamesway Mercedes 709 / Reeve Burgess H390 OHK which was one of two he had purchased from dealer Houston Ramm the previous year. At this time the Cutenhoe Road Service 3 was interspersed with journeys on Service 32 to Caddington via Slip End, Pepperstock and Aley Green, I am on one of the former journeys here.
(my own cable and the faulty 13W3->VGA adapter)
making my own cable :-)
not long ago i got a SGI VPro V8 graphics for my Octane. The card has been in the mail (DHL) for two months(!) and when I finally got it, it didn't seem to work with my (just got) Apple Studio Display 21. The seller of the card provided a 13W3->VGA adapter, but I'm not sure how that could've ever worked because it has the Hsync and Vsync pins wrong... (never mind how much time it took me to find that out...)
Anyway, as a proof of concept, I decided to make my own cable and tada! Now I've got an Octane with V8 graphics (128MB!) at 1600x1200@75Hz. Due to the quality of my own cable, it's still not perfect, but now I know this will work together, I found a proper adapter on eBay which I just bought.
(most of these adapters are for Suns, not SGIs)
Q. What happens to a Royce Thompson NEMA Rotaloc photocell socket after 11 years normal use?
A. It falls apart like this.
This socket formed part of an RS photocell kit, part number RS 571-439. Ironically, the photocell itself is fine, but the same cannot be said of the socket. I noticed that the photocell seemed very loose in the socket during routine maintenance, and after removing the assembly, found that the plastic housing had sheared away totally on two contacts, and partially on the third.
This suggests some form of materiels/manufacturing fault, and has been caused by repeated thermal expansion/contraction of the metal contacts against the plastic casing. The cell was mounted in a sunny location on the side of a building, hardly an abnormal situation for this kind of device.
Needless to say, it is not satisfactory, as the photocells themselves are designed to last up to 20 years, and the socket should easily do 40. It is also a safety hazard, as the plastic casing is no longer holding the contacts in place, so they could form a poor contact and result in arcing, heat and even an electrical fire.
I've contacted Royce Thompson about this via both email and letter, but so far they have declined to answer.
Their website has a datasheet for this socket at: www.roycethompson.co.uk/pdf/ACCESSORIES.pdf
This has the rather amusing quote: "The durable engineering polymer body houses Beryllium copper contacts which provide excellent wear properties for long service life". Whom are they trying to kid?
I now have a Zodion SS6 photocell installation, which appears to be of much better quality.

We pleased to say this isn't one of ours! Another example of how choosing the wrong air conditioning contractor can lead to a mess! This is an R22 Mitsubishi Electric Air Conditioning unit from 1994 which is being replaced by an R410A system. Still on the positive side it does prove how long air conditioning systems can last, even when badly installed. Still, if this was your business or home it certainly doesn't portray a very good image.
If you have an R22 Air Conditioning systems that's either faulty or simply requires replacing for an new R410A energy efficient system please email us at sales@nottinghamairconditioning.co.uk, call us on 0800 849 9490 or visit our website www.nottinghamairconditioning.co.uk

I bought two sets of Elinchrom skyport speed universal receiver/transmitter sets today, one set behaved as described in the instruction book, however this receiver only has a very dim light on initially then this rapid flashing which is not mentioned in the instruction book at all???? I am hoping the thing starts behaving as the instruction book, so I don't have to direct the flash centre to this video in order to show them the fault.
Update, after about half an hour the flashing stops and the light is off?? unplugging and plugging in again results in flashing again, most annoying!!!
78% of all toilet failures are caused by faulty supply lines, toilet flanges, fill valve assemblies or toilets that have backed up and overflowed. To be more precise, faulty supply lines, fill valves and toilet flanges (wax seals) accounted for a combined 45% of all toilet failures resulting in a claim. Keeping an eye on your toilet, dishwasher, washing machine and other items can help save you thousands if water damage occurs.
