Situé Rue Dansaert (la rue des stylistes belges) Bonsoir Clara est un restaurant au décor moderne et chaleureux. Beaucoup de place dans cet établissement (environ une centaine), avec une carte un peu déséquilibrée (des entrées riches, des plats principaux qui font concurrence), mais pour une addition somme toute assez légère...

The ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" is a lightly armored Soviet self-propelled, radar guided anti-aircraft weapon system (SPAAG).
The acronym "ZSU" stands for Zenitnaya Samokhodnaya Ustanovka (Russian: Зенитная Самоходная Установка), meaning "anti-aircraft self-propelled system"; the "23" signifies the bore diameter in millimeters; the "4" signifies the number of gun barrels. It is named after the Shilka River in Russia. Afghan soldiers nicknamed it the "sewing machine" due to the sound of firing guns. It is also referred to by its nickname of "Zeus", derived from the Russian acronym.
The previous Soviet self-propelled anti-aircraft gun (SPAAG), the ZSU-57-2, was armed with two 57 mm autocannons; it was aimed optically using a basic tracking and lead calculating system. The ZSU-57-2 was not particularly successful despite its very powerful autocannons; it could only carry a relatively small amount of ammunition, was inaccurate as it lacked radar and could not fire while on the move.
The ZPU series armed with 14.5 mm heavy machine guns carried on a towed mount for stationary, point air defence had a much higher rate of fire. The 23 mm version of this weapon system was known as the ZU-23-2, a towed mount carrying two 23 mm cannons. However, these towed or improvised truck-mounted weapons had similar disadvantages.
The development of the ZSU-23-4 "Shilka" began in 1957 along with ZSU-37-2 "Yenisei" and the vehicle was brought into service in 1965, replacing all ZSU-57-2s in air defense units toward the beginning of the 1970s. The ZSU-23-4 was intended for AA defense of military facilities, troops, and mechanized columns on the march; originally, the more powerful guns of "Yenisei" were judged to be effective at covering the inner dead-zone of Soviet surface-to-air missile systems despite the increased weight of the vehicle, but commonality prevailed. Initially, tank regiments should have had the anti-aircraft artillery battalion of "Shilka" (consisting of two batteries, four ZSU-23-4s in each). At the end of the 1960s, one battery was equipped with ZSU-23-4s and the other with ZSU-57-2s. Motorized rifle and tank regiment standard anti-aircraft batteries consisted of two platoons later (one platoon was equipped with four ZSU-23-4s and another with four mobile surface-to-air missile systems 9K31 Strela-1 or 9K35 Strela-10). The ZSU-23-4 combined a proven radar system, the non-amphibious chassis based on GM-575 tracked vehicle, and four 23 mm autocannons. This delivered a highly effective combination of mobility with heavy firepower and considerable accuracy. The ZSU-23-4 outclassed all NATO anti-aircraft guns at the time, and it is still regarded as posing a major threat for low-flying fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters.

This guide book brings back a few memories as I vaguely remember owning a copy from a visit when I was young. It's one of the most colorful and star studded guide books yet showing loads of celebrities from the time.

1985 would be the last year for the Linden-built Eldorado and Seville. The model year also introduced the new downsized front wheel drive DeVille and Fleetwood, which had been brought out early in April 1984. The Fleetwood Brougham continued on, largely unchanged from the prior year. The Cimarron was slightly revised for 1985.
Here is the complete 1985 merchandising guide. It contains color and vinyl selections, interior cloth and leather choices, option compatibility and recommendations, as well as technical and demographic information as they pertain to each model.
At the end are product release guides as features became available/were discontinued throughout the model year.
Some scans of the vinyl/leather/cloth choices are a little blurred, as my scanner could not work with the non flat surface of the page. Enjoy!
This rapids is called Guide Ejector, because that's what happens sometimes. Too bad for the customers, who are left without a guide...
After spending the past two days rafting, I'm going to nurse my sore shoulders today and not go back on the river until tomorrow.

About The Series: The focal press guides, usually but not always written by the indefatigable W. D. Emanuel are a treasure trove for collectors of cameras. Not for the sections on how to use individual cameras (which do, however contain a great deal of good sense) but for the descriptions of different models. They are the first source to go to if you want to know the difference between (for example) an Ensign Selfix 16/20 Model I and an Ensign Selfix Model II or how many elements the Trinar lens in your Regula camera has

Instead of mapping out Metroid Fusion, I just wrote it out in words, using basic directional pointers and hints. This is a guide for somebody who has already beaten the game, my vague directions probably won't help a newcomer. No major skips, low% or 100% stuff here, just the stuff I like to get.

I haven't had a real holiday since, well, I met the PAD folks in London in April of '08.
Wandering around taking photos with PAD friends sounds like the best way to have a holiday!

My uncle was interested in buying this mill stone in Pocoata, Bolivia. This man guided us through a long path to the old mill house. I asked him if I could take a picture of the millstone and he said yes and then stepped in front of it. I'm really glad he's in the picture now!
