Das Heizkraftwerk West mit seinen 1989 fertiggestellten Blöcken 2 und 3 bildet bis heute die Grundlage der Frankfurter Stromversorgung und verfügt über eine eigene Anlegestelle und wird noch immer über den Main per Schiff mit Kohle beliefert. Bemerkenswert ist die technische Einrichtung der Anlegestelle mit einem Kran, der mittels einer archimedischen Schraube in seinem Rüssel die feingemahlene Kohle aus den Schiffen befördert. Über ein Förderband gelangt die Kohle durch die Bürogebäude des Westhafen Piers in das Kraftwerk. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

Yep, underfloor heating is nothing new, the romans were doing it 2000 years ago!Here you see the columns that supported the floor, there would have been hot water from the hot spring running through here heating the supported floor above the columns

Here’s my setup for C41 color film developing. I bought a temperature controller and set it to 107 degrees with a one degree temperature variation (107 degrees setting brings liquid in containers to 100 degrees). I also bought a crock-pot at the good will. I place the developer, blix and a bottle of water in crock-pot and plug in temperature controller. I add hot tap water to crock-pot. I go away and come back in an hour and the liquid in the bottles is about 100 degrees. I then remove the plain water bottle and place it in a 2 liter mixing bowl filled with hot tap water and wait until temperature rises to 102 degrees. I pour water into film developing tank and place tank into crock pot. I remove the developer and place it in 2 liter mixing bowl with hot tap water and monitor temperature until it is 102 degrees (takes only a minute or two). I remove the developer, pour out the water in the film developing tank and place tank in crock-pot. You then fill the tank with film developer. I use the little rod to agitate film according to directions instead of inversions (3.5 minutes). At end of development time I dump developer back into its bottle and pour in the blix and agitate using rod. At end of blix time (6.5 minutes) I pour blix back into its bottle and rinse film using tap water for 3 minutes. You then pour the stabilizer in to film tank and agitate for ten seconds, pour stabilizer back into its bottle and hang film to dry. Your done.
On my first C-41 development I had a hard time maintaining uniform temperature and the blix leaked from the tank (I did inversions of tank). The water bath setup gets all chemicals to almost the same temperature and minimizes aggravation trying to get developer to exactly 102 degrees. The blix needs to be between 95 and 105 degrees so the water bath takes care of it. By using the rod to agitate the film and not doing inversions the pressure from the blix does not build up and cause the top to leak.
The biggest remaining problem is that the film chemistry once mixed has a short shelf life. Since a one liter package is supposed to develop 8 rolls of film I have to hold my undeveloped film until I have 8 rolls ready to develop. This time around I did six rolls. I had planned to wait until I had 8 rolls, but caved and decided to go ahead and develop at six rolls. Since then I have developed 3 more rolls for a total of nine rolls. Ninth rolls color is fine, so, I may go for ten rolls.
In steam days trains were heated directly from the locomotive's boiler. In a perfect world the replacement of steam locomotives would have been exactly co-ordinated with the replacement of steam-heated rolling-stock. In the imperfectly organised affairs of British Railways early diesels had to be equipped with boilers for heating their trains. As new electrically-heated rolling stock was gradually introduced, train-locomotive compatability must have been a big headache for the operating authorities ...in winter at any rate.
I seem to remember that when the TOPS system was introduced, Brush Type 4 locomotives were renumbered in blocks according to whether they had steam, electric or dual equipment. I am rusty on all this stuff, but I also seem to recall that as the need for steam-equipped locomotives diminished they were re-equipped, which entailed a further renumbering. I disliked all this tinkering around with the original numbers, which had been allocated as the locomotives had entered traffic and therefore represented build-sequence.
With steam leaking from its couplings and the boiler apparently blowing off surplus pressure, there is no doubting that 47 031 is equipped for steam-heating. It was photographed waiting to leave Bristol Temple Meads with the 1114 train to Cardiff on Friday 21st February 1975.
The Palm House at Kew Gardens. I dread to think what the heating bill must be for this building - it has to be kept hot and humid through the coldest weather, with only a single layer of glass to protect it from the elements.
...In my sparkly little black dress!
Towards the end of a great day of modeling, dishing with the girls at Hooters and making the scene at Freddie's!
This ensemble is based around one of my favorite Little Black Dresses- a snug fitting and sparkly tank style minidress from greatglam.com along with Hanes Alive Barely There panty hose and my black with sparkles 5 1/2" high platform pumps from fredericks.com. I'm really pleased at how well this outfit came together- these pumps match up perfectly with this minidress!

The Novohradské Mountains are flattish range in the south of the Czech Republic, by the Austrian border. On the Czech side they are girded by the Novohradské Piedmont and are part of the Šumava region.
The geology is dominated by granite and gneiss. The outer slopes are steep; almost all of them of fault origin, scored deeply by creeks.
The central area is level with remnants of flattened surfaces and has shallow valleys with numerous peat bogs.Most of the mountains are forested with spruce, in some places the original beech-fir growth has been preserved (Žofínský Prales National Nature Reserve).
The forced evacuation of the population from this area after World War Two has left its mark upon the landscape. The meadows with fruit trees are overgrown; the ruins of the buildings in villages once full of life are but a sad memory to relatively recent times.

Novohradské hory mountains remain unspoiled and not crowded area that is very suitable for biking and hiking; last time, we stayed in the picturesque Krakovice pension during a sunny pre-spring February prolonged weekend.
