After geting this extra objective I tried to get rid of it in manual focus lens forums on a basis 'pay the postage and the device is yours'. Apparently there were no Kiew 9/10 camera users. So I left the objective in my dravers to collect dust.
The reason of less than minimal interest showed is that the diaphgram is controlled by the camera body (a little lever at 7 o'clock). So it is not by any means easy to construct an adapter for modern camera bodies.
Three of these were painted in 2002 before the Calgary GT. The fourth was finished this morning. Now the rules state objectives have to be on 40mm bases, I had actually done that for the "beer and nuts" objective, but ammo and chips I had to rebase. Maybe I should have added skulls, my basing and rebasing strategy is basically sand, plastic skulls, and plastic Nurglings. I used some Contrast paint on the newest objective, but I also uses washes, glazes, and hand painted highlights.
I failed with the objective of this photo. I wanted to focus on the white sheet of frost coated on the road, yet the camera never picked it up. Still, with some subtle marina bokeh in the distance, I figured I'd upload my efforts.

#OccupyLSX protesters gather at St. Paul's Cathedral - Day One, 15.10.2011
As part of the newly-emerging global "Occupy" movement which has seen a continuous occupation of Liberty Park near Wall Street in New York, and which today saw protests in approximately 950 cities worldwide against the corruption of both bankers and governments, around 4-5,000 activists - having been blocked by police from their original objective, Paternoster Square which leads to the London Stock Exchange - converged on the front steps of St. Paul's Cathedral in the City of London to begin an occupation which. it is hoped, will oblige the financiers and bankers to realise that there are real people being grievously punished for the unpunished crimes of the banking industry which have resulted in crashing world economies and swingeing 'austerity measures' which are only paid for by the poor and middle classes. In the meanwhile the entire country has been treated to the disgraceful sight of the very people who caused this unmitigated shitstorm of greed, dishonesty and arrogance having the audacity to reward themselves with millions of pounds in bonuses, despite almost bringing the world economy to its knees.
Throughout the day the completely peaceful protesters discussed their grievances and through a series of open Spanish-style 'congresses' or 'people's assemblies' formulated a series of propositions which form the basis of the mass protest.
During the afternoon the crowd was joined by Wikileaks founder Julian Assange who arrived wearing the obligatory Guy Fawkes mask made famous in the cult film "V for Vendetta", which is worn by members of hacktivist group Anonymous. Assange, wearing an electronic tag on his leg imposed by the British court as he is under house arrest awaiting deportation to Sweden - was accompanied by two police detectives, one of whom frequently made a point of holding Assange's shoulder, as if they thought for one second that one of the most identifiable faces in the world right now would ever be able to make a run for it, surrounded completely by a cordon of upwards of 3-400 police.
The only mindless, vindictive violence came from some members of the Territorial Support Group who were militaristic in their brutality towards completely passive citizens when they decided to rush the steps of the cathedral once darkness fell, during which assault they stamped on people's heads and bodies, punched and kicked several people and were seen to rip the hijab off one girl's head. All of this was to prove or gain nothing whatsoever strategically except the ability of the police to be - in my opinion as I watched it from very close quarters - criminally, dangerously violent to passive, peaceful protesters who no longer, it seems, are protected from violence by the agents of the State. When the police commit violence everyone - especially the police - knows it is very difficult to go after them to demand legal justice.
Several hours later the police abandoned the steps at the request of Cathedral officials, leaving everyone to wonder what was the primary motive of the senior officer who gave the order to lead this attack on private land when no crime had been committed. This was Abuse of Process in many people's opinion.

Animal welfare activists petition Royal Thai Embassy - London 02.03.2012
On 2nd March 2012, Activists and supporters of animal welfare organisation Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand (WFFT) assembled outside the Royal Thai Embassy in West London's Queens Gate to petition the Thai government to investigate the conduct of the Department of National Parks (DNP), whose officials last month conducted an aggressive raid on their Wildlife Rescue Centre located on a huge plot of forest part-owned by the Kao Look Chang temple and the WFFT, which saw 103 recently-rescued animals taken away and placed in badly-run, overcrowded government facilities. So far only three of the animals have been recovered.
The WFFT is a well-established and respected organisation whose main objectives are to rescue wild animals from places where they have been maltreated or neglected - such as badly run private zoos which provide animals for tourists to pose with for photographs - and also to provide the animals with a sanctuary as close to their natural environment as possible, and to give them the best possible medical care. Where possible the animals are rehabilitated and returned to the wild. WFFT also engages local populations to educate them in animal welfare, and to stop cruelty to animals. Another major concern is illegal hunting and to promote the conservation of natural rainforest habitats.
Also present at the Thai Embassy today were representatives of Care for the Wild International (an organisation which regularly audits the standards of care and provision of the WFFT), whose chief executive Philip Mansbridge handed over a 53,000 signature petition to embassy staff asking the Thai Government to help find out why the Department of National parks, which has previously worked very well with the WFFT to the extent of even sending them animals to care for when government services are over-burdened, has now seemingly turned against the foundation. During the raid which took place over several days from Feb 12th to 17th, several animals were very badly treated by DNP personnel, who injured many animals whilst trapping them and cramming them into completely inappropriate enclosures before transporting them the length and breadth of Thailand on the backs of trucks. Many suspect the DNP has turned against them for political reasons following WFFT public statements by founder Edwin Wiek about elephant and tiger poaching and possible cover-ups perpetrated by DNP officials, politicians and local businessmen running the elephant camps which provide major tourist revenue to the regional Thai economies.

At the end of their first year at the U.S. Naval Academy the freshmen, known as plebes (for plebeian), undergo a ritual rite-of-passage that symbolizes their transition from lowly plebes to full-fledged midshipmen. This event is known simply as "Herndon" or the "Plebe Recognition Ceremony." The tradition has endured at the Naval Academy for many years.
The challenge: to scale the 21-foot tall gray granite obelisk, remove the "dixie cup" plebe hat on top and replace it with a midshipman's cover. To make it more difficult the tower is greased; this year with 36 pounds of butter, two gallons of canola oil and several tubs of vegetable shortening.
At the sound of a cannon blast, more than 1,000 eager, screaming plebes charge toward the Herndon monument. As they attempt to climb the lard-covered monument and sweaty bodies mix with the slippery slime, early optimism succumbs to gritty determination. Agony shows on the faces of those at the bottom of the pyramid as they support upon their shoulders three or four tiers of bodies above them. Those at the top strain to climb as high as possible in order to switch out the hats before losing their balance and falling into the mass of classmates below. Only by using discipline, teamwork and courage can they achieve success.
The fastest time for climbing a greased monument was 20 minutes in 1972. The longest time was 4 hours and 5 minutes in 1995.

The objective end of a hand-held marine telescope from the early 1800s.
The well-used brass-tubed scope has a 2" (5.1cm) objective lens of focal length 36" (91cm), and an erecting eyepiece lens with focal length of 2", giving a magnification of 18X.
The image is clear and the lenses are undamaged. The image is sufficiently resolved so that I can make out craters on the Moon, the major satellites of Jupiter and Saturn's rings.
The folded length of the scope is 25" (64cm).
The gold-rimmed spectacles from the mid-nineteenth century provide scale.
The tube is faintly engraved 'London - 2 inch' and '18xx' (could be 1818) and the drawtube has engraved lines and numbers to indicate nominal focus at 100 feet, 250 feet, and infinity.

U.S. Air Force Fact Sheet THUNDERBIRDS
Mission
Officially, the Thunderbirds are known as the U.S. Air Force Air Demonstration Squadron.
The squadron’s mission is to plan and present precision aerial maneuvers to exhibit the capabilities of modern, high-performance aircraft and the high degree of professional skill required to operate those aircraft.
Within this broad mission, the team has five primary objectives: − Support Air Force recruiting and retention programs − Reinforce public confidence in the Air Force and to demonstrate to the public the professional competence of Air Force members − Strengthen morale and esprit de corps among Air Force members − Support Air Force community relations and people-to-people programs − Represent the United States and its armed forces to foreign nations and project international goodwill
The Team
The Thunderbirds squadron is an Air Combat Command unit composed of eight pilots (including six demonstration pilots), four support officers, four civilians and more than 100 enlisted personnel performing in almost 30 job specialties.
A Thunderbirds air demonstration is a mix of formation flying and solo routines. The four-jet diamond formation demonstrates the training and precision of Air Force pilots, while the lead and opposing solo aircraft highlight some of the maximum capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
The pilots perform approximately 40 maneuvers in a demonstration. The entire show, including the ground show and air demonstration, lasts about 75 minutes. The season typically starts in March and ends in November, with the winter months used to train new members.
Officers serve a two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve three to four.
The squadron performs no more than 80 air demonstrations each year and has never canceled a demonstration due to maintenance difficulty. More than 280 million people in all 50 states and 57 foreign countries have seen the red, white and blue Thunderbirds jets in more than 3,500 aerial demonstrations.
In addition to their responsibilities as the Air Force’s premier jet demonstration team, the Thunderbirds are part of our combat force. If required, the team's personnel and aircraft can be rapidly integrated into a fighter unit at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Since the aircraft are only slightly modified, they can be made combat-ready in less than 72 hours.
F-16 Fighting Falcon
The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon represents the full range of capabilities possessed by the Air Force's tactical fighters. This highly-maneuverable multi-role fighter has proved to be one of the world's best precision tactical bombers and air-to-air combat aircraft. The only modifications needed to prepare aircraft for air demonstrations are a smoke-generating system and painting in Thunderbird colors. Additional information about the F-16 can be found at www.af.mil/AboutUs/FactSheets/Display/tabid/224/Article/1....
History
The Thunderbirds were officially activated June 1, 1953, as the 3600th Air Demonstration Unit at Luke AFB, Ariz. The unit was nicknamed the “Stardusters.” Their first aircraft was the straight-winged F-84G Thunderjet, a combat fighter-bomber that had seen action in Korea. Early in 1955, the team transitioned to the swept-winged F-84F Thunderstreak.
In June 1956, the team moved to its current home at Nellis. At the same time the Thunderbirds traded the veteran F-84 for the world's first supersonic fighter, the F-100 Super Sabre -- an aerial platform that would serve the Thunderbirds for 13 years. More than 1,000 demonstrations were flown in the Super Sabre, thrilling spectators around the world. In 1964, the team changed briefly to the F-105B Thunderchief, but an in-flight mishap revealed a problem with that airframe’s design. So, after only six shows, the Thunderbirds returned to the F-100.
From 1969 to 1973, the Thunderbirds flew the Air Force's front-line fighter, the F-4E Phantom II. In 1974, the Thunderbirds converted to the T-38 Talon, the world's first supersonic trainer. The T-38 was more fuel-efficient and less costly to maintain, which made it an ideal choice during the oil crisis of the 1970s.
Early in 1983, the Thunderbirds reinstituted their traditional role of demonstrating the Air Force's front-line fighter capabilities. Transition to the F-16A allowed the team to retain manpower and fuel efficiency while demonstrating to spectators the latest in fighter technology.

In this photograph, I finally finished my head gasket replacement project I have cleaned the engine to try to remove spilled oil. A large amount of oil had spilled onto the exhaust manifold. I didn't want it to be a fire hazard.
Everything has been put back together. I ran a compression test on each cylinder before starting the engine for the first time. I put a squirt or two of motor oil in each cylinder, because the engine has been sitting a long time. I put motor oil on the chain, cam and valve area before I put the valve cover back on.
The engine started and I ran it until I knew the thermostat opened for the radiator coolant. This was done to remove any air in the system. Turns out there was a vapor lock that needed to be removed.
I flushed the coolant and put the antifreeze back in. I immediately changed the oil/filter. Old oil was slightly gray with water due to the mistake.
Compare this photograph, with this one and notice the hoses etc. that had to be removed, to get to the head gasket in the first place.

OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVE CAMERA
The device on display is an element of the standard set of cameras and reconnaissance equipment carried by the SR-71 in the 1970s. It is a stereoscopic camera designed to photograph the ground under the aircraft's flight path. This produces a three dimensional image that greatly eases the identification of the objects that are photographed.
