The first project completed by the ODA was the dismantling of 52 electricity pylons that previously towered over the Olympic Park, unlocking the area for construction. Two 6km-long tunnels were built to carry high voltage cables 30m below the surface.
The two year project was successfully completed in December 2008 in 424 days, using four huge 40 tonne tunnelling machines. This photograph of work dismantling a National Grid pylon was taken on 22 October 2008.

The retaining iron work is slowly taking shape now.
The head board and associated ironwork is all done along with the centre posts.
The box section tie bar at the top is one of three and have been curved using a power ring rolling machine. This is a small rise of approx. 4" to allow rain to run off the sheet.
All the iron work will be completed before the drop sides and tailboard are started on.
The front door is open and you can see two of the toner cartridges installed-- the black (up top) and the magenta at bottom. In the flap of the door is the transfer belt assembly.
As a regular user of this machine, this is about as far in as you would get.

Only about 250 people live in Saint-Léger-sur-Vouzance, so a boulangerie, that once belonged to every French village, may have been closed already long ago.
Mostly boulangeries were followed by a "dépôt de pain", where baguettes could be bought from a bakery, that may heve still existed in the next village.
Now these dépôts seem to get replaced by vending machines. This was the first machine selling bread I saw in France. The machine even accepts credit cards!
The telephon booth on the right is on the list "Last Chance to see".
RGS 20 pulls a train full of passengers up the steep grade on the Colorado Railroad Museum loop. Earlier this year, this old ten-wheeler celebrated its 125th anniversary of being built. It's truly amazing how a machine this old can be kept running in near perfect condition.

There are many things to question about the automotive world, but why did the Wedge ever take off?
With that said, I give you the Triumph TR7, British Leyland's once great hope for domination of the American market, crushed by poor design, miscommunication, terrible advertising and shoddy workmanship.
The Triumph TR7 was first launched in 1974 as British Leyland's top ranging sports car. Looking very sheek and stylish (and like a block of cheese with pop up headlights) with its low riding wedge shape, the car did indeed look the part...
...minus a few things here and there. One was that massive composite bumper, which was yoked onto the front of the car to conform with American safety legislation. Another was the roof design, which was hastily slapped on to conform to American safety legislation. And finally there's the tail lights, which were not designed to conform with American safety legislation, they were just poorly put together.
Yes the TR7 was in the grip of American safety legislation. Following the tragic death of James Dean, America planned to ban convertibles, and thus car manufacturers across the globe had to redesign their cars in order to work with this new legislation. However, instead of taking a leaf out of their own book and giving the TR7 a curious T-Bar arrangement like on the Triumph Stag, they decided to slap on a roof that completely compromised the profile of the car.
But styling was the least of the TR7's worries, it was then bogged down with how it was built. Underneath that wedgie body, the TR7 was nothing more than a humble Triumph Dolomite, powered by the fundamentally flawed Twin Dolomite V8 and built on the same chassis. The result was a car so faulty that it would hardly ever run, as was found in the filming of the popular British TV show, the New Avengers, where the character of Purdy was coupled with a yellow TR7 much like this one. Apparently the car was so unreliable that all the filming involving the car had to be done in 20 minutes or less before the car broke down again!
It was also interesting to note that when the car underwent trials Frankfurt Motor Show in 1977, the car overheated on a 2.5 mile speed test, and after 19 days in a shed, a troop of British Leyland engineers still couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.
But set aside the failure in giving it a reliable engine and a good design, the TR7 was then botched by Red Robbo's rowdies at the Speke Factory in Liverpool. Strike after strike occurred and cars were released onto the roads only half put together. The results were either massive unreliability, leaking panels, electrical infidelity and/or other problems, such as hitting the indicator switch which would cause the horn to blow. This downfall was assisted by the factory shutting down for nearly a year due to seemingly constant industrial action, with many unfinished TR7 shells rotting out in the Liverpool drizzle.
Eventually, order was somewhat restored when production moved to the factory in Coventry, and reliability began to improve, but with its reputation in tatters, the TR7 simply would not sell, even with promotion on the New Avengers. However, in the end the threat of American legislation was lifted, and the cars were allowed to be sold as convertibles, which were quite handsome looking machines. This was later added to by the fitting of a Rover V8 engine to replace the unreliable Dolomite engine, and as such the formula was perfected in the form of the Triumph TR8...
...only to be axed the following year in 1981 as that poor reputation mixed with build quality issues and an unusually strong Pound meant the car was surprisingly more expensive than its rivals, and so the TR7 and TR8's were dead. But even so, towards the end they did begin to sell well, and a TR8 also found its way into the world of Rallying under the command of Tony Pond, the 300bhp monster he drove was simply untouchable.
Today these cars can be common if you know where to look, but don't expect to find many in everyday usage as like most British Leyland cars, they don't react well to the rain.
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Hebrews 10:19-24

This is a Trumpf TR180 CNC sheet metal punching machine. This was my work station from 1988 to 1995. The machine basically punches holes and contours in sheet metal up to 6mm thick. This is at the manufactured components division at the Marconi site in Waterhouse Lane Chelmsford.
This site opened in 1964 and closed in 1999. I was here from 1984 through to the end in 1999. It's now occupied by a Homebase DIY store and some small industrial units.
Once a centre of engineering exellence you can now buy pot plants in the same place.
Detailed engineering design and development work is underway for the construction of a third metro route through the centre of Brussels, following approval of the scheme by the Brussels Capital Region administration on March 26th,2015.. The fully-automated Bordet – Albert Line is expected to open for revenue service in 2024.
Under the proposals agreed between the region, city transport operator STIB and the federal government’s investment fund for the capital, Beliris, the line would combine the existing north-south premetro tram tunnel between Brussels Nord and Albert via Brussels Midi with an extension at the northern end.
The choice has fallen on the red Sc2a ‘Schaerbeekdense’ route (see map). This presents the highest use potential and is the shortest and hence least expensive of the three variants that were considered. The details of the route and the exact position of the metro stations will be determined after consultation with the municipalities of Schaerbeekand Evere. The goal is to begin construction in 2018. The route is scheduled to come into operation by 2022. The project’s total cost will be 570 million euros.
The starting point will be the Gare du Nord. The study that has been carried out assumes that a station will be created every 700 metres. By way of comparison, in Paris the average distance between two stations is 1 km, but in the current Brussels metro it is less than 500 metres. The Brussels government has decided that the positioning of the stations will need to be chosen in order to optimise connections between the train, tram and bus services. The new line’s terminus has not yet been determined: Bordet and Haren are two possibilities.
The northerly extension of the metro is needed to meet growing demand for public transport between the centre of Brussels and the north of the Region. This demand has been estimated at more than 6,000 passengers per hour, which is more than can be catered for by improved links with the trams and surface-level metro network. Nor would a ‘premetro’ (underground tramway) be able to cope with this number of passengers. A socio-economic study conducted last autumn revealed that a new northern premetro line would become saturated as soon as it was brought into operation, with an immediate load level of 162%.
Regarding the type of metro line, the study gave preference to an automatic line over a manual one. The investment cost is slightly higher (+4.5%), but the speed, frequency and capacity are greater, resulting in lower operating costs.
STIB and the Brussels Capital Region would be responsible for conversion of the premetro, which is primarily served by high-frequency tram routes 3 and 4. This cross-city tunnel includes interchanges with the existing metro lines 2 and 6 at Rogier and Midi, and with lines 1 and 5 at De Brouckère. While much of the premetro was built with a view to eventual conversion, a new alignment would be required to bypass a section of the city’s original shallow tram subway at Lemonnier, which dates from the 1950s.
Beliris began consultations in 2012 over options for the 4·4 km northern extension, before selecting a preferred northern most alignment which would run in tunnel from Brussels Nord through the Schaerbeek district before turning east to an interchange with SNCB at the existing Bordet station. This broadly follows the existing tram routes 32 and 55. Intermediate stations are envisaged at Place Liedts, Colignon, Place Verboekhoven, Square Riga, Tilleul, and and Place de la Paix in Evere.
STIB is expected to begin public consultation for the project at the end of this year. Beliris says construction of the extension would start in 2019, with a single 9·8 m diameter tunnel being excavated using a tunnel boring machine.
‘This new metro line is one of the biggest infrastructure projects in Brussels for the next decade’, said the region's Minister for Mobility & Public Works Pascal Smet. ‘Along with the remodelling and pedestrianisation of streets in the city centre, the project will improve mobility and contribute to a better quality of life for residents, commuters and tourists.’

My first red bike! Red usually doesn't suit me, but this is a great red.
I'm presumably the 3rd owner of this incredibly clean, low mileage machine. This came from the same seller of my recent 78 Davidson acquisition. Seller purchased it on the east coast in the early 90s.
Machine appears to be an early EM, with the Porta Catena dropouts, flat crown, and above BB cable guides. SR rear derailleur is dated 82, and that's probably about right.
The 2nd owner added the XA stem, the bars w/splash tape, the red FIR rims, the Bianchi colored Michelins, and the pedals in the early 90s. That will all go away, except the rims, because the color match is so good that I kinda dig 'em.
Also, will swap the straight block, corn-cob freewheel cluster for something a bit more practical.

Urbex Benelux -
Next to the headframe is the building of the mining machine. This, activated by steam at the beginning and later by electric motors, was placed at a certain distance from the well so as not to compromise the stability of the well and the headframe by the vibrations it generated. The headframe had a characteristic shape with its buttresses (or sheers) intended to compensate for the horizontal component of the force that the machine exerted on it. The extraction machine always consisted at least of a motor element, a reel element and the maneuvering, safety and indication elements. Most often were added: a gear reducer, an emergency brake, an indicator of the depths and a recorder of the ropes, that is to say the movements of the cages in the well.
In a Big War they need a big machine.
This machine are a mix of Bionicle, end Exo Force pieces.
The result ? You are the judge !
Building a ship or constructing a marine engine required specialist tools for every task. This slotting machine was used to make vertical cuts in metal. It is fitted with a rotary table, allowing round, flat, or irregular contours to be machined via the vertically moving tool.
The main framework of this machine comprises a single iron casting. It needed to be solid and rigid enough to absorb all the vibrations and forces caused by the cutting operation. Otherwise these would have been transmitted to the cutting tool, causing the machine to lose accuracy. This would have been far from ideal for a precision tool like this.
Fortunately Scottish machine tool manufacturer Loudon Brothers made high-quality, well-cast, reliable machines. This is an historic surviving example of their work, and dates from the 1880s.

Here's one you probably forgot, an obscure little number based off the Mini to give a more luxurious variant to the popular 10ft machine, this being the Riley Elf, but also badged as the Wolseley Hornet.
For all intents and purposes, the Elf and Hornet were mechanically identical to the Mini, using much of the same driving gear. The car differed however by its trim, engines and length, with the same Mini wheelbase of 6.68ft, but an increased platform to 10.7ft to accommodate a separate boot and for a slightly longer cabin. Both cars were also fitted with huge chrome grilles to make them look less mundane than the Mini and more up-market to appeal for the driver who desired more from their small car. The cars had larger-diameter chrome hubcaps than the Austin and Morris Minis, and additional chrome accents, bumper overriders and wood-veneer dashboards. The Riley was the more expensive of the two cars.
Both the Elf and the Hornet went through three engine versions. Initially, they used the 848cc 34hp engine with a single HS2 carburettor, changing to a single HS2 carburettor 38hp version of the Cooper's 998cc in the 1963 Mark II. This increased the car's top speed from 71 to 77mph.
Both cars were built between 1961 and 1969, with production ending with 30,912 Riley Elfs and 28,455 Wolseley Hornets built. Today these cars have quite a cult following, largely due to their novel size and luxury. A Rolls Royce on a 10ft platform!
I'm reposting this old family portrait to give myself an added incentive to stick to my weight loss diet, and to exercise regularly!! I do want to be as slim as I was in this photo. Can I do it? Well, I have taken off 32 pounds. My pant's waist size has gone down from 44 to 38 inches. Another 30 pounds should take me to my grad school weight and a 34-inch waist. It could have been 32 inches in this photo. Of course, I was exercising in the weight room on Kwajalein Island three nights a week with a good friend, Jack France who I met on Kwaj. Today I will start workout sessions on a multi-station exercise machine.
This photo is from 1963. I was a graduate student in Physics at MIT. I took a leave of absence to go to Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific Ocean with MIT's Lincoln Laboratory. Here I am with my firstborn son Jonathan. We are on a speedboat in the lagoon on the weekend.
This shot was taken by Kent Kresa, who was an MIT Lincoln Laboratory Test Director. It was taken using a German film camera, not a Canon digital camera.
I previously posted this photo on some Kwaj Groups on Flickr, I have tried locating the trailer we lived in. It was in a trailer park called "Silver City" on the northeast corner of the island. It was built on sand dredged onto the reef before we arrived. I have thousands of my own 35mm slides from Kwaj that I took with the Nikon cameras and lenses from Japan that I bought at the army post exchange aka "Macy's" on Kwajalein Island at the southern tip of the atoll.
The boat was a "Boston Whaler." I just remembered these excellent boats were purchased for recreational use by Lincoln Lab by Jimmy Maripoti's Dad who worked for LL.
Another shot in this album shows a map of where we were. Kwajalein Island is in the Marshall Islands, in the Pacific Ocean. We were there from 1962 to 1964.
Kwajalein Island is on Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands in Micronesia.
Random remembrances:
The MIT Lincoln Laboratory team I was on was trying to gain knowledge about identifying reentering warheads. We used radar and optical telescopes on Roi Namur Island at the northern tip of the Kwajalein Atoll. It was 60 miles north of Kwajalein Island. We flew there and back each workday on non-pressurized, non-air-conditioned DC-3 airplanes... Those Were the Days...;))
I took a Hebrew course on Kwaj as part of the University of Hawaii's extension program. My teacher was Steve London, an Israeli engineer who was head of the Martin-Marietta team responsible for the Zeus Missile launches on Kwaj.

Beginning of March 2010 a snowboarding accident left me with serious tear of my ligaments in my left knee. Because I was told that I would have to wait for MRI through the BC Health system for about a year, I decided to cough up some ‘dough’, about $600, and get it done through the private facility. The MRI showed I had a tear of my PCL and MCL After my MRI I had appointment scheduled at the Dr. Chin’s office at the Joint Preservation Centre of BC of UBC. He hoped that I didn’t need surgery, but he said that time will show. I had a follow up appointment, except Dr. Chin did not show up for that one, he send some other doctor in his place.
This is Dr. Patrick Chin’s secretary Joyce message left on my cellphone with regards to my knee injury follow up on my second MRI that was done at the beginning of January 2011 (the one I waited for about a year for..). Technician at the UBC's MRI facility told me that I will be contacted by my doctor in about 10 days after this MRI. He did not tell me the results. Now it’s almost end of March.. I left three (one per day) messages on Joyce’s (Dr. Chin’s secretary) answering machine. This is how CANADIAN HEALTH CARE does not CARE! Listen:

May 6, 1989 is noted as the only Derby to have frozen precipitation...as sleet was observed falling, starting at 1:01PM! The high temp that day was 51F...but with the wind and rain, it felt much colder way up on that roof.

Since opening in 1992, Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s restaurant, Larios on the Beach, has been known as Miami Beach’s destination for Cuban cuisine, mojitos and a view of South Beach’s Ocean Drive.
Gloria met keyboardist Emilio Estefan Jr., her future husband, in 1975. He was leading a band called the Miami Latin Boys. She became the lead singer and the band was renamed the Miami Sound Machine.
This large display screen featuring a portrait of Emilio now hangs on the wall of their recently redesigned and lively Cuban eatery.
The Larious on The Beach restaurant was permanently closed in 2020 due to the COVID pandemic. Their website (lariousonthebeach.com) has a message that reads: "We opened our doors in 1992 and served our community with love and wonderful Cuban food for almost 30 years. We are proud to continue that tradition with our full service restaurant, Estefan Kitchen in Kissimmee and Estefan Kitchen Express at Miami International Airport."

As the title suggests and with splendid weather once more with temperatures almost 20C for the 26th September, and more to follow this week, a handful of workings along the 'Old Road' in a little under 3 hours but with the freights all coming in the last 20 minutes! At this first location next to the Metal Recyclers and at around 11:15 with lowish sun in a perfect sky, taking picture facing south along the 'Old Road' is always fraught with difficulties, in contrast to the much more controlled conditions, facing north, in the next picture. Operated by Hanson & Hall Rail Services Solutions, presumably for Network Rail, the 1st on offer is a piece of old classic traction in the form of BR Blue class 50, 50008, 'Thunderer' with double-arrow Intercity logon on the cab-side. It is hauling a single RailVac unit with accoutrement at the back, DR709515004-8, made by RailCare in Sweden and is a RAUK-1, On-Track B.V.E.S., Ballast Vacuum Extraction System, finishing Machine. This is a run up from the Leicester L.I.P. to the, now, quaintly named, Doncaster Wood Yard, and its the out-of-gauge(X), 6X25 working, with a 400 tonne timing load and here, around 7 minutes early. Not sure whether the gent on the right on the steps was interested in this happening or not as appears not to be looking at the loco but where he is stepping; probably wise in these parts.

This Cherry Citrus Flavored Soda is Coke's product to go up against Mountain Dew Code Red. I liked this flavor, but just like the original, I prefer Mountain Dew's flavor to this one. When I see a Coke Freestyle machine, this is probably the flavor I'm going to make (or mix it with Orange).
I'm not quite sure how long these bottles have been around or how long they will stay. There wasn't even a mention of it on the Mello Yello website. However, when I check their facebook page I see that they offer this and one in a peach flavor. I'd try that too. Just don't bring back the Mello Yello Melon.

Usage: handout poster for the SIMA 2013 tradeshow in Paris.
For this photo the following equipment was used:
Canon 5D MK III (more MP than my Canon EOS 1DX, handy since this image is for a poster).
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens mounted on a tripod
Double daylight construction lights, behind the Viper to light the smoke.
Two small halogen construction lights, under the Viper.
Two remote controlled Canon Speedlite 580 EX IIstrobes on manual setting.
And a smoke-machine.... :-)
This was an indoor on-location shoot, which made it hard to compensate for the white walls. Therefore we started out with shooting it a normal light conditions (1/8 sec.) but with the smoke machine working (handled by Kevin).
Afterwards we shot series of the machine with smoke and proper strobe exposure. However, enough underexposure was available to make the background dark enough to be mostly invisible.
Four partial pieces of smoke were taken from these shots and added to the original image. Problem was we couldn't produce smoke fast enough to get it as we wanted it to. Since the camera was mounted on a tripod it was easy to copy-paste these partials. By combining images it came out as I had imagined while still looking natural. This is the almost finalized image, in this version you can still see a few bits of background if you look carefully.

Since the camera was mounted on a tripod it was easy to copy-paste these partials. By combining images it came out as I had imagined while still looking natural. This is the almost finalized image, in this version you can still see a few bits of background if you look carefully.

Brittany Kane, a pre-college research student at Argonne for the Summer 2013 term, is installing a ring into a ring holder of a reciprocating test machine. This test rig is used to measure the friction and durability of a short segment of piston ring sliding against a section of liner cut from a production cylinder. Loads up to 1200 newtons are possible and continuous measurements are made of vertical force, friction force, ring position, temperature, and contact resistance. A heater raises the temperature of the sliding contact to 100°C to simulate the temperature of an operating engine. For more on tribology, visit Argonne's tribology webpage.
Combat ready 1979 and highly corroded 1944.
Note to the bicycle mechanic: This is the most complex bicycle to figure out how to service. Don't thing you can just take your tools to this highly engineered machine. This bike requires training, regardless if you are a master bicycle mechanic with decades of experience. Despite being designed over 100 years ago, it is brilliantly built and must be researched before touching with the simple tool kit within the leather tool box. There is a method to the design that must be known, or you will molest this wonderful fahrrad.
The lack of shock absorbers became apparent soon after boarding 777 but that didn't stop me trying to get a photo whilst what felt like being spun around in the washing machine! - This is the result.
We made some cool 'pataphysical talismans and time machines this week in Geo Monly’s amazing woodshop at Tam High School in Mill Valley.
Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) and Jean Bolte (a.k.a. Dr. Figurine) have been building a Time Machine model, which is coming along very well. It is a modular structure with five walls, which can house a wide range of interactive art works. It could grow into a 'collection of time machines’, featuring different artist's views of events that impact us all.
Fabrice Florin (a.k.a. Dr. Fabio) made hundreds of 'pataphysical talismans, using Tam High's laser printer, an Illustrator file created by Freddy Hahne (a.k.. Dr. Really). It only took a couple hours to print over 280 talismans, which are based on the symbol of unity, featured in stupas all over Nepal.
Our creative process is documented in this photo album: bit.ly/pata-photos
Come see the ‘Pataphysical Slot Machine at the Mill Valley Library this Saturday, Oct. 31, from 1pm to 5pm. Halloween costumes welcome :)

Subject: Challenger MT765D "Field Viper" (Year of the Snake)
Client: AGCO Corporation
Usage: handout poster for the SIMA 2013 tradeshow in Paris.
For this photo the following equipment was used:
Canon 5D MK III (more MP than my Canon EOS 1DX, handy since this image is for a poster).
Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens mounted on a tripod
Double daylight construction lights, behind the Viper to light the smoke.
Two small halogen construction lights, under the Viper.
Two remote controlled Canon Speedlite 580 EX IIstrobes on manual setting.
And a smoke-machine.... :-)
This was an indoor on-location shoot, which made it hard to compensate for the white walls. Therefore we started out with shooting it a normal light conditions (1/8 sec.) but with the smoke machine working (handled by Kevin).
Afterwards we shot series of the machine with smoke and proper strobe exposure. However, enough underexposure was available to make the background dark enough to be mostly invisible.
Four partial pieces of smoke were taken from these shots and added to the original image. Problem was we couldn't produce smoke fast enough to get it as we wanted it to. Since the camera was mounted on a tripod it was easy to copy-paste these partials. By combining images it came out as I had imagined while still looking natural.

Big CNC Studio Colinbus 3D and 2.5D milling machine.
This machine was chosen to proceed with the thermoformed mold manufacturing.
Here's one you probably forgot, an obscure little number based off the Mini to give a more luxurious variant to the popular 10ft machine, this being the Riley Elf, but also badged as the Wolseley Hornet.
For all intents and purposes, the Elf and Hornet were mechanically identical to the Mini, using much of the same driving gear. The car differed however by its trim, engines and length, with the same Mini wheelbase of 6.68ft, but an increased platform to 10.7ft to accommodate a separate boot and for a slightly longer cabin. Both cars were also fitted with huge chrome grilles to make them look less mundane than the Mini and more up-market to appeal for the driver who desired more from their small car. The cars had larger-diameter chrome hubcaps than the Austin and Morris Minis, and additional chrome accents, bumper overriders and wood-veneer dashboards. The Riley was the more expensive of the two cars.
Both the Elf and the Hornet went through three engine versions. Initially, they used the 848cc 34hp engine with a single HS2 carburettor, changing to a single HS2 carburettor 38hp version of the Cooper's 998cc in the 1963 Mark II. This increased the car's top speed from 71 to 77mph.
Both cars were built between 1961 and 1969, with production ending with 30,912 Riley Elfs and 28,455 Wolseley Hornets built. Today these cars have quite a cult following, largely due to their novel size and luxury. A Rolls Royce on a 10ft platform!
