Hawker Nimrod Mk.I Biplane:
The Hawker Nimrod Mk.I was effectively the Naval equivalent of the Hawker Fury Mk.I, with a few modifications to suit her Naval role. The prototype of the '‘Norn'’ as she was initially known first flew in August 1930 and following successful trials an order for 42 Nimrod Mk.I aircraft was placed. The first six examples to enter service were with 402 Fleet Fighter Flight aboard H.M.S 'Courageous' replacing their Fairey Flycatchers. The Nimrod never fired her guns in anger, but served well with both the Home and Mediterranean Fleets. The last Nimrods to fly operationally were with 802 Naval Air Station (NAS) when they were replaced by Sea Gladiators at Hal Far, Malta, in May 1939. The very last Nimrod in Fleet Air Arm service was Mk.I S1582, which was being used as a hack with 753 NAS undertaking weather checks until she was paid off in January 1942.
The Fighter Collection’s Nimrod Mk.I S1581 was the third production aircraft built by the Hawker Engineering Company at their Kingston-upon-Thames facility and allocated the construction number 41H-43617. Nimrod S1581 was subsequently delivered to 408 Fighter Flight as ‘573’ embarked upon H.M.S 'Glorious'. The flight became 803 NAS in April 1933 and S1581 remained with the unit aboard H.M.S 'Glorious' until she was written off in early 1938. Her subsequent history is unclear but there are indications that she may have spent a number of years with an Air or Sea Cadet Squadron prior to being sold for scrap. The substantial remains of S1581 were recovered from a scrapyard in West London in the early 1970's and donated to the RAF Museum. The remains passed to Viv Bellamy in the early 1980's to act as a pattern for his Fury replica, but were then purchased in 1994 by Aero Vintage who set about restoring this magnificent machine back to her former glory.
The restoration was both complex and demanding but by the Autumn of 1999 she was sitting on her undercarriage and the first trial assembly of the whole airframe took place. The following Spring saw the Kestrel V engine installed and test run for the first time in over 60 years. The eagerly awaited first flight took place at Henlow, Bedfordshire, in July 2000 with Flt Lt Charlie Brown at the controls. She is authentically painted in the colours she wore as ‘573’ when she served with 802 NAS during the 1930's. She joined The Fighter Collection in 2004 and is a firm favourite with pilots and crowds alike. She provides a wonderful glimpse into the elegant silver biplanes used during the inter-war years as front-line fighters.

Hawker Nimrod Mk.II Biplane:
British Hawker Nimrod II (G-BURZ) K3661, manufacturer’s serial 41H.59890, was completed on 5th September 1934, on 1st January 1935 it was placed in storage at RAF Cardington and then on 7th October 1936 went to the packing depot at RAF Sealand. On the 23rd October 1936 it was issued to 802 Flight in the Mediterranean with the side code number 562. It was C Flight Commander’s aircraft and therefore had its tailfin painted yellow as were the spinner wheels and fuselage band. It served from 1936 to June 1938 during which it suffered two landing accidents. Placed on Admiralty charge with the Fleet Air Arm on 23rd May 1939, its last recorded placement was to RNAS Lee on Solent in December 1939. During its time in the Mediterranean it is known to have been flown on 23rd August 1937 by Geoff Eveleigh who recalls it well (he also flew Nimrod S1581 now flying with the Fighter Collection after being restored by Aero Vintage).
A number of photographs exist of the aircraft at the Fleet Air Museum at Yeovilton, including two of its landing accidents, there is also a later photograph, which was taken at RAF Hawkinge in Kent showing the official 802 Squadron badge on the tail. In 1972 the Nimrod II was discovered on a rubbish dump in Ashford, Kent, more or less complete but well corroded. The aircraft was recovered and donated to the RAF Museum and stored at RAF Henlow. After RAF Henlow’s closure the fuselage was sold off to Mike Cookman. Aero Vintage acquired the fuselage from him in August 1991, and later that year the wings from this aircraft and those of the Nimrod I S1581 were also acquired from the RAF Museum.
Investigating the aircraft’s past, Mike Llewellyn, the proprietor of the Battle of Britain Museum at RAF Hawkinge, telephoned Guy with the news that he had a display case full of parts from the Nimrod. These included the control column, instrument panel, map box, ammunition chutes, and many other items, including the original cockpit data plates, confirming the serial number as K3661. It is believed the aircraft may have been used as an airfield decoy or been with a local ATC Squadron. Restoration commenced in 1992, helped by the fortuitous discovery of a large number of Nimrod drawings in Denmark. A Kestrel V engine was located and has been restored. The restoration was completed in November 2006 and the first post restoration flight was successfully completed on 16th November 2006. Hawker Nimrod K3661 (Reg No. G-BURZ) is owned by the Historic Aircraft Collection (HAC) based at the Imperial War Museum Duxford, she currently wears the markings of K3661 802 Squadron FAA 562, the aircraft resides in Duxford's Hangar 3.

On Saturday 4 September 36 first direct volunteers took part in the NSPCC’s Ingleborough HACK (Hike Against Cruelty to Kids) and raised over £7200 in sponsorship.
Probably 1970s Alba radio, hacked to convert it to a guitar amplifier. Dimensions (in cm. excluding handle) L30 x H19 x D9. Has a tone switch to cut treble and will run on 6 x D type cells. Pretty loud and distorts when cranked full. . See video of it on Cigarbox Nation

Jalapeños look harmless, but for anyone who’s suffered the fiery burn from their capsaicin-rich innards . . . you know to think otherwise. The first time I diced up a little green jalapeño, I went at it with full bravado, no gloves, bare skin. I had just booked my first job as a food...

The tranquil district of Appin, a coastal area in the Scottish West Highlands, was jerked out of its reverie and quiet lifestyle when the phone hacking scandal broke last week, leaving telecom companies picking up the pieces.
Ok, hacked is an overstatement. But this is what happens when you have a public LED sign connected to your campus network, with no authentication and a simple protocol clearly documented online.
We wrote a few programs to make editing this easy, but by the time April 1 rolled around, Kern had already memorized the protocol and corresponding telnet control sequences. So rather than put the finishing touches on the CLI, he just telnetted directly into the device from a PC in the cafe nearby.
The Hack and Slash Theatre Company was formed in 1992 by John Davis and Spencer Humm with the mission of bringing outstanding swashbuckling action and fresh, edgy comedy to live theatre audiences all over.

Lounge Project is back, here to present our fifth Overwatch themed cocktail - HACK THE MARGARITA! Sombra has put her hands on a classic margarita, and hacked it with blueberry juice and blue anise syrup. Are you ready for this drink now?
the practical problem is that soldering usually sticks badly into pcbs, and for those who love to hack them, the resulting connections are fragile and unsecured. i've got pretty good results using a second hand micro drill from a dentist friend (the only problem is the fragility of the tool itself).

We are just continuing the story that started around 10,000 years ago. So many parallels to the broader fields involved with Earth System Science & Engineering (& Management).
Should get anyone with a pulse thinking about the possibilities.
The one (& only) time I met George Church was at one of Venter's Genomics conferences several years ago in Hilton Head, when I was still a grad student. Dr. Church stopped at my poster (which combined topics from genome signatures, biogeochemical cycles and climate modeling) and we talked about this and other unrelated scientific topics for quite some time. I was impressed of course by his intellect, but even moreso by his demeanor and the thoughtful questions and responses he contributed.
