[ 1023 CPP batch scan 005 ]
These are a few archival examples from my CPP project. I scanned a few last month and planned to choose one for my Flickr post number 1,000, but chose instead to go with a current example. I'm incredibly pleased that the project is active again, so that just seemed appropriate. ^_^
I still have some of the abovementioned CPP scans cluttering my HD, however, so...
This was shot in collaboration with Marc Slanger, the person I first presented my crazy idea to and the first person to work on this project with me. We held two different showings of our photos at the late, great Gandalf's in downtown F-burg, MD (1996 & 1999). NOW if I can just find or somehow obtain digital copies of at least some of those images..... I actually look forward to that, because some were quite good methinks (this was definitely an outtake).
OK. And now for something completely..… familiar. Pasted below is some info RE the experiment, and please feel free to Flickr-mail me w/ any questions:
This is a part of an ongoing & experimental double exposure photo project entitled "Corpse Photo-Poetics (CPP).” It was conceived as a sort of abstraction of the Surrealist game, "Exquisite Corpse."
I still can't locate my formal description of the project (D’OH), but here’s an attempt to succinctly state the simplicity of CPP:
With E.C., partipants divide a piece of a paper into thirds or quaters, choosing, for instance, the human form. Each participant chooses a section of the form to complete, covering their work, leaving only lines to give the next player a starting point for the next section of the piece. The result can be something quite surprising and, sometimes, even good! ;)
I chose to use double exposure photographs. The CPP images have mostly been produced directly in the camera (35mm). With no fixed form in mind, participants grab an image to be integrated with the photograph of another in the camera, and hopefully the result is just as surprising and, sometimes, even good!
Well, thank you for taking a look, reading about this crazy project, & please LMK (again) if you are interested.
(BTW, I want to thank Denim again for giving this monster some new life, and I indeed look forward to seeing what other buried treasure we might find in future CPP rolls! Here is a link to the first photo that I've posted from our collaboration. She posted something today as well! =)

July 2009. This appears to be the Sulawesi endemic of the Varanus salvator Complex of Water Monitor. It is called the Togian Monitor. Water Monitors are carnivores, and have a wide range of foods. They are known to eat fish, frogs, rodents, birds, crabs, and snakes. They have also been known to eat turtles, as well as young crocodiles and crocodile eggs. Like the Komodo Dragon, they will often eat carrion. As it's not their bite that will kill, rather the bacteria within the ridges of the mouth that will cause a nasty infection and cause their prey to die, they much prefer to feed on a corpse. That way they can feed without a struggle.
I built up this unit to prevent damage to my Monitor Top(s) should there be a fault which causes the compressor to run continuously.
In fact, most refrigeration faults will cause this.
The current transformer senses when the compressor runs. When it does so, the Omron timer module starts. If the compressor should be running when it counts up to 25 mins, power is shut off to the fridge. It has to be manually reset.
Each time the compressor stops the timer resets, so normally the timer has no effect on fridge operation. Normal run time is much less than 25 mins. (About 2-3 mins once stabilised).
It's a very rough prototype just to prove the concept and eventually it will rebuilt somewhat more professionally. The improved version will also sense the current draw and trip if it's too high, thus providing a backup to the solder pot overload in the control.
This Swedish monitor was originally commissioned in 1875. It was armed with a single 24cm cannon located in a non-revolving turret. It is currently undergoing restoration, and is the only monitor-class warship still afloat.
The model shows the Sölve as she would have looked at construction. Photographed at Gothenburg Maritime Center, Sweden.
I've been collecting old computer equitment as a "project" for a while, but I never did anything with it. I finally to terms with the fact that I probably never would and decided I could sacrifice the space, so I threw it all out today. Some of it works, but not well.
Another from my African safari 2012. Sometimes, there's so much going on, so much to be seen you just don't know which way to focus, and this was one of those moments - there were some elephant just starting across the river, a crocodile lazing a little upstream at the river's edge, and then this monitor plugging along, checking all the piles of poop far as I could tell. Another nice closeup made possible by the power of great glass.
This plot has been monitored since 1982 and has provided numerous insights. We've personally returned to this site every year for the past two decades.
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.

Monitoring Software is a common means for Parents and Employers to take responsibilty. Monitoring of Computer and Smartphones is Widespread. It is standard practice to use monitoring software.. Spy Software (not bad) and Spyware (bad) are definitely not the same thing. Spyware is really a broad group of possibly harmful software that can implant itself on cell phones, usually arriving from internet connections.
Explanations rely on usage and intention of spyphone software programs rather than a technological standard. Spy is not a bad word. Spy software programs are a phrase frequently accustomed to explain harmful software program or perhaps a phrase mistakenly connected with a keylogger. Software programs offered here is a lot more than this and really should not be placed in the exact same class. Spyware, per se, can be usually intended to intercept partial control over laptop or computer or cell phone functioning without having authorization from the device's user.
Whether it is simply to get a basic idea of what's going on, or perhaps to cope with more severe problems, technology is a valuable tool for families or organizations. Parents or guardians possess legal and moral responsibilities to monitor and track cell phones and understand how they are getting used, or misused. Many people are acquainted with the issues and dangers related to computers and the web. Smartphones are just like computers, however possess a lot more dangers due to their convenience, sophisticated communications, and the user's sense of autonomy.
A lot of people might include spy in terms used to describe legitimate monitoring of mobile phones. There are numerous legitimate justifications to Track Cell Phone Location and communications content. If the monitoring is justified then probably the term spy is benign, and does not signify malignant intent. www.track-phone.net/monitor/

After looking on and off since 2000, I now have a Monitor Top fridge.
Having a cabinet with detachable legs made it easier to transport.
As luck would have it, the one I got had a gas leak. This appeared to have been caused by how the cooling unit has been previously handled.

After the end of the Vinnish Civil War in 1871, ironclad warships had proven themselves the new face of naval warfare technology. In particular, monitors were favored by the northern Verein for their revolving turrets and idea capability for patrolling rivers and coastal areas. In the years following the war, the remaining Vinnish navy fell behind as the government allocated more resources into national expansion and reconstruction. A sudden encounter with Maian ironclads off the southern Vinnish coast in 1876 soon brought attention to the need for rapid naval re-armament.
The department of the navy re-examined the monitor as an effect combat vessel. The navy had several civil war era vessels still lying around in somewhat derelict condition, and funds were allocated for their reconstruction into modern fighting ships. Work began first on Reiner, named after the 17th century religious movement (we don't know why, all of the monitors have strange names). The original hull was stripped of its turrets and funnel, which were scrapped, and a new superstructure was built on top with two new 12" gun turrets and many smaller 6pdr guns, 1pdr guns, and autocannons. The old wrought iron armor was replaced with modern Harvey steel, the best available at the time. In all, Reiner essentially was reborn into a new vessel, being commissioned in 1891. Being a monitor in the new age of battleships, however, presented some drawbacks. The low freeboard and short range of the vessel essentially barred it from being an oceanic fighter, being limited to the coasts, rivers, and fair weather. However, there have been several cases of wily captains daring to prove otherwise, taking their ships across oceans to far flung ports where no one would ever expect a monitor. The ships of the Reiner class are also infamously poorly ventilated, which has led to some unfortunate casualties due to heat exhaustion. This may also be a factor in the corrosion of the ship's armored piping, which has led to reliability issues and safety hazards during excercises.
Despite these drawbacks, the Reiner-class monitors have proven multiple times that under the right conditions and under a skilled crew, these vessels can far exceed their limitations, and have proven themselves an invaluable asset in the modern Vinnish navy.

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.

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
