An unusual delicacy from the highlands around Bandung is monitor lizard satay - served in a deliciously rich, spicy sauce.
I had to try it while on assignment in Bandung recently.
Apart from being a freelance travel photographer (and writer) I'm also director of The WideAngle photographers network. For some photography advice from the best of our pros check this link:

Awesome 19" LCD monitor - 1280x1024 under ProView brand. Purchased at MicroCenter store for $299 after $60 rebate. Good deal!
Yet another silly gadget for the home, I should probably have gone for the better featured Dr Wattson power monitor but the OWL was a hell of a lot cheaper. The usual OWL is a sensor on the meter with a transmitter which is picked up by the display units built in receiver. Shows how much power is being used, how much it's costing etc... The OWL USB Connect allows you to monitor the power usage over time on any usb equipped windows PC. Pretty nice all in all though the interface is very very basic, I'd like it better if it could track the usage historically over a much longer period of time. Hopefully there's a software update in the works... the API has been released too so maybe third party software and linux support too!
The Lace Monitor, or Lace Goanna, Varanus varius, is a member of the monitor lizard family, Australian members of which are commonly known as goannas. It belongs to the subgenus Varanus.
Lace monitors are the second-largest monitor in Australia after the Perentie. They can be as long as 2.1 metres (over 6 ft 10ins) with a head and body length of up to 76.5 cm (2½ ft). The tail is long and slender and about 1.5 times the length of the head and body. Maximum weight of lace monitor can be 20 kg.(44 lb), but most adults are much smaller.
These common terrestrial and often arboreal monitors are found in eastern Australia and range from Cape Bedford on Cape York Peninsula to south-eastern South Australia. They frequent both open and closed forests and forage over long distances (up to 3 km a day).
They are mainly active from September to May, but are inactive in cooler weather and shelter in a tree hollow or under a fallen tree or large rock.
The females lay from 4 to 14 eggs in spring or summer in termite nests. They frequently attack the large composting nests of Scrub Turkeys to steal their eggs, and often show injuries on their tails inflicted by male scrub turkeys pecking at them to drive them away.
Their diet typically consists of insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds and birds' eggs. They are also carrion eaters, feeding on already dead carcasses of other wildlife. Lace monitors will also forage in areas inhabited by people, raiding chicken coops for poultry and eggs, rummaging through unprotected domestic garbage bags, and trash cans in picnic and recreational areas.
Like all Australian goannas, they were a favourite traditional food of Australian Aboriginal peoples and their fat was particularly valued as a medicine and for use in ceremonies
Lace monitors are found in two broad forms. The main form is dark grey to dull blueish black with numerous scattered cream spots. The snout is marked with prominent black and yellow bands extending under the chin and neck. The tail has narrow black and cream bands which are narrow and get wider towards the end of the tail.
The other type, known as 'Bells Form', is typically found in dryer parts of NSW and Queensland. It has broad black and yellow bands across the body and tail. Close up these bands are made up of various spotted patterns.

Anchor Windlass Monitoring System
www.monitor-systems-engineering.com/anchor_monitoring_eng...
Monitor Systems computerised Anchor Windlass Monitoring System (AWS M2000) facilitates and adds real value to operator control. Using a uniquely simplified menu structure, the system provides increased accuracy and totally reliable measurement of anchor winch parameters with both central control room and local windlass monitoring displays. Speed and distance are measured through proximity sensors whilst tension is determined by sub-sea rated load cells or pins. Using stainless steel wall mounted cabinets, data is gathered using PLC DAQ, Profibus DP or fibre optic high-speed networks and shown in graphical and tabular formats. This flexible system can also be expanded to include other control functions required by the client.
Case Study
Anchor Windlass Monitoring System
Overview: The Anchor Winch Monitoring System installed onboard Dolphin Byford by Monitor Systems is designed to monitor anchor tension, chain length, payout speed and motor current in addition to providing control outputs for overspeed on all twelve winches holding the rig. Utilising a fibre optic network for communicating between winches and the control room, the system uses a Siemens PLC with remote HMI's in each windlass cab and two IPC's in the control room and pilot-house.
Two 300 tonnes load pins on the Brattvagg windlasses and hydraulic load cells with pressure transducers on the National windlasses measure anchor tension. Chain length and speed is verified by proximity sensors picking up targets on the main gypsy wheel.The system graphically displays tensions, speeds and chain lengths as well as providing trending of anchor tensions and built in alarm functions via colour touch screens in all winch cabs and the main control room. It also allows viewing of data from all winches at any station. Customer: Dolphin Drilling.

I believe the Mama Gray Catbird is looking at the eggs here. It was so hot that day. I noticed she was off and on the nest throughout the day, visiting the birdbaths often.

My rooftop anemometer and receding storm clouds at sunset. Widespread monsoon thunderstorms have been rumbling all across Arizona for the last several days, dumping significant rainfall and causing serious flash floods in some places. Unfortunately and all too typically, the rain continues to completely avoid my dusty rain gauge, where only a few sprinkles have fallen so far. Nonetheless, the monsoon skies do make for some great sunset photo ops - Weather Station ZD1, Phoenix, Arizona

The Health Monitor Mount is a piece of tech that displays your current Linden Labs Combat 2.0 System Health Points. If your HP goes bellow a certain level, the remaining bars will flash on the chest mount, and if you have sound on, the HUD will beep to alert you. It is all fully recolor-able and unrigged in modular parts.
One of the seemingly tame but free ranging bayawaks (water monitors) at the hop off point. Look again, the animal is very much there. Bright mid day sun plus deep shade in the dense foliage meant that photography was a challenge. I do not like to use flash on animals, and hence this shot. (Puerto Princesa, Philippines, May 2013)
If you’re a musician (or an aspiring musician) and you’ve setup your own home studio, then you probably recognize that screen real estate is extremely valuable. It doesn’t matter which recording program you use, Logic, ProTools, Cubasic, or one of the many other that are available. With all of the plugins, samples and additional tools that you use alone with the main recording program, having an extra screen available will make recording significantly easier. In this article we’re going to discuss some different setups and how you can maximize your recording efforts by using multiple screens.
Here’s a prime example of how using multiple monitors can help enhance your recording. Using a second monitor is great way monitor multiple tracks at once and monitor each and every plugin at the same time with your second monitor. You can also use the additional screen to monitor other applications such as email or communications tools, such as Skype. Having this extra space means you’ll get less distracted and you’ll be able to multi-task while recording.
And I should point out that Windows users aren’t the only ones that are using multiple monitors. Mac users, especially power Mac users have been using multiple monitors for quite some time as well and can definitely appreciate the benefits of having their full mixing abilities available while they are reviewing each individual track on the second screen. And with OSX Lion setting up multiple monitors on multiple screens is actually rather easy to do. It just takes a couple of quick clicks to do so. The cool thing is regardless of if you prefer Pro Logic 9 or Pro Tools, it’s easy to use multiple monitors and benefit from them.
Regardless of what type of audio recording you end up doing, and regardless of what program you use, having multiple monitors is going to be a key benefit for your recording experience. You’ll appreciate the extra screen real estate and you’ll enjoy not having to bounce back and forth between tools are you record, edit, mix and create.
