This is from one of my first trips to Utah with a digital camera. As I remember it, the clouds were a little pink, probably from the reflection of color off of the desert. I can never remember if this is the Monitor or Merrimac butte.
Located just 100 km east of Reykjavík at Hvolsvöllur, the new Lava Centre sits between five of Iceland's greatest volcanos. The main exhibition of the Centre reveals the epic forces of nature that shape our planet and created Iceland, and in addition visitors get a crash-course in Volcanology while experiencing the extreme forces associated with volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.

Improvements in gun design in the 1820s, following the Napoleonic Wars, rendered the wooden warship largely obsolete. Firing explosive shells rather than solid cannonballs meant that wooden ships would likely be blown apart in battle in short order. To counter shell-armed ships, Great Britain, France and the US began to experiment with armoring their ships--giving them a coating of iron. However, it was too heavy for sailing ships to carry, so "ironclads" would have to wait until steam propulsion was perfected. French floating batteries during the Crimean War proved the concept, and by 1861 both the UK and France had built one ironclad apiece.
The US Navy let their ironclad designs lapse, even after the Civil War began. When the Union learned in late 1861 that the Confederate Navy was rebuilding the old steam frigate Merrimack into an ironclad--the CSS Virginia--frantic efforts began to design and build a counter. Purely by chance, a Swedish designer, John Ericsson, got his design submitted for review by the US Navy. Despite some misgivings by the review board, Ericsson's design was personally approved by President Lincoln, and construction began immediately. Ericsson would name his design the Monitor, and it was completed in 101 days.
When the Monitor was commissioned in February 1862, it could be seen why the Navy had reservations about the design. Little of the Monitor was visible above the water's surface. Ericsson designed the ship to present the smallest target possible, so most of the engineering spaces, living quarters, and command areas were belowdecks and essentially below the waterline. Only a small pilothouse and the turret were visible, and everything above the waterline was heavily armored with iron plating. Despite the ungainliness of the design, Ericsson provided relatively comfortable crew quarters. It was slow, but the Monitor was designed mainly for "brown water" river operations where speed was not considered a factor.
The turret was the most revolutionary aspect of the Monitor, though no less than 40 patents were filed on the design. Instead of the multi-gun broadsides used by all other ships at the time, the Monitor only carried a pair of 11-inch Dahlgren smoothbores. It did not need more, because the turret could be rapidly rotated to bear on targets.
The Monitor barely passed its sea trials, but she was hurried into service nonetheless: the Union learned that the Virginia was ready for combat. The Monitor was sent south, but nearly sank in a storm on the way, and so arrived at Hampton Roads a day late. By that time, the Virginia had already wreaked havoc, sinking two Union frigates and driving a third aground. The next day, on 9 March 1862, the two ironclads finally met in battle.
The Battle of Hampton Roads, however, ended on something of an anticlimax: both the Monitor and the Virginia were too heavily armored for either to do damage to the other. The Monitor sustained some damage that knocked out one of her guns, along with suffering wounded among her crew, but was never put out of action. Unable to reach the grounded ship, the Virginia withdrew from the action. After the battle, it was determined that the Monitor could have sunk the Confederate ironclad, if the Monitor's crew had aimed for the waterline or if the Navy followed Ericsson's suggestion and armed the Monitor with larger guns.
In the end, neither ironclad would live out the year. The Virginia was scuttled a few weeks later, because it could not go up the James River and was in danger of being captured. The Monitor was to sail south to Charleston, but sank in a storm off Cape Hatteras on 31 December 1862--it simply was never meant to travel in open ocean. The wreck of the Monitor was discovered in 1973, and artifacts from the ship are on display in various museums.
Dad bought the old Lindberg "Battle of the Ironclads" set, which was a "box scale" kit--the Monitor and the Virginia are not in scale with each other. Nonetheless, the models are accurate in the details of the ships. From this angle, only the armored portions of the Monitor can be seen, which was Ericsson's intention. This model now sits prominently in my office, and I use it frequently for teaching the Civil War.

Blood pressure monitor in watch is very informative; it provides all time tracking of the individuals blood pressure level. Read the infographic to know more about the advantages of blood pressure monitor in a watch.
One of the CRMS Setagaya member, who actually built his own monitoring system had this awesome watch!

Thanks to the EVGA USB+, I can power up to 8 external monitors over USB. The far left and far right monitor is powered through USB, and it works great.
El monitor Huáscar es un buque de guerra del siglo XIX de destacada participación en la Guerra del Pacífico. Fue construido en el Reino Unido en 1864 por orden del gobierno peruano y sirvió en la Marina de Guerra del Perú hasta el 8 de octubre de 1879, día en que fue capturado por la escuadra chilena en el combate naval de Angamos. El Huáscar sirvió activamente en la Armada de Chile hasta 1897, año en que fue dado de baja. Actualmente sirve como museo flotante en el puerto chileno de Talcahuano. Es una de las pocas naves de guerra de su época que aún permanece a flote.
On the fourth floor of the distillery is the only real piece if machinery left. The Monitor Combined Corn and Grain Cleaner.
The Dowling Brothers Distillery opened in 1889 and was operated by the Dowling family until prohibition. After that the distillery changed hands several times and was owned by Shenley Company and an individual by the name of Bob Gould. Mr. Gould sold the distillery in 1946 to the Schenley Co. for a reported $10,000,000 after getting sentenced to 6 years in federal prison for over-ceiling sales of whiskey. It operated under the name Dowling Distillery until closing sometime in the 1960's. It has been abandoned since.

Kenneth Grange is a highly influential designer of the latter half of the c20th.
In 1972 Grange, together with Alan Fletcher, Theo Crosby, Colin Forbes and Mervyn Kurlansky established Pentagram, a world renowned multi-disciplinary design consultancy. More recently, in the 1990s, Grange has produced distinctive designs that have become part of our landscape, from the Adshel bus shelter in 1993 to the Rural Post box for Royal Mail in 1998. Today Grange continues to work with British companies including Anglepoise, furniture designer Hitch Mylius and fashion designer Margaret Howel. [from the Design Museum's website]
July to October 2011, the Design Museum held a retrospective of his work
The Design Museum was founded 1989, and (currently) occupies a 1940s banana warehouse.
An ignoble end to a once-proud display. This is where I usually take the bus back from work, and every day it's a little more beat down.
