Due to limits set on the controller of this valve, it is prone to repeated cycling. This ultimately manifested itself in a worn or grooved cam-roller. This caused the beam to become dislocated from it's pivot point and serious beam-misalignment ensued here. I corrected this by replacing the grooved cam roller with a new one.

Brits pulling back to town including the remaining troop leader and Firefly. Both Stugs are out of action after doing no damage to the Shermans.
As was historical, the German's counterattack falters on the outskirts of Asnelles. Overall loses for the Brits are 2 Shermans, 1 Pla CO, and 21 men. The 916th lost 4 men in 1 Komp and 2 in 2 Komp. But both StuGs are gone with one crew lost and now the Brit Arty will start to get established. But the Germans certainly gave the Devons a bloody nose.

Equipment: Nikon D70, Vivitar 283 on camera, and snooted to trigger optical slaved remote. Sunpak 433D off camera.
The D70 has an integrated flash, but for some reason, it wasn't triggering my optical slave correctly, and the flashs were out of sync. Putting the Vivitar up there fixed the problem.

This is just a funny position to catch in a photo. Is he playing golf? Bowling? It looks like one arm is attacking, and the rest of him decided to not join in.
For video of Misfit playing with the snake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqwQUGvDiQU
Back-story: We noticed Misfit had something, and it was a snake! He dropped it into his water fountain, and we had to take it apart. We let him play with it for awhile, then put it in a bottle. The bottle drove him crazy -- he attacked the movement within every 5 minutes for days. It was his new favorite toy -- the pet of our pet. So we kept the snake in captivity for a week or so. He was not interested in our house crickets, which we joked that Misfit caught for him. After a week, it not only needed probably needed food, but also stank, so we released it. It did need to be "watered" a few times during the week, too, which no doubt increased the stink-power.
Misfit, snake.

This is a photograph from the second running of the newly situated Irish 3/4 Marathon (formerly the Athlone 3/4) which was held in Longwood, Enfield, Co. Meath, Ireland on Sunday 8th of October 2017 at 10:00. The event is positioned perfectly in the calendar as a key training race before the Dublin City Marathon at the end of the month. This year was the second year that the event was held in Longwood, Co. Meath which is now well known for its hosting of the Longwood 10KM/5KM annual races and a host venue for East of Ireland Marathon series marathons on a bi-annual basis. The race started and finished at Longwood GAA club just outside the village of Longwood. It followed an anti-clockwise course around the beautiful picturesque countryside of south Meath. The course went through the townlands of Longwood, Castlerickard, Killyon, Hill-of-Down, Anneville and Ashfield Clonard, Blackshare, Stoneyford and back to Longwood. The river Boyne and Blackwater were crossed as was the Royal Canal and the Dublin-Sligo Railway line at Hill-of-Down. Overall this was a very different course to the previous years in Athlone. The overall elevation of the course works out at 3/4 of the total elevation of the Dublin Marathon course. What most stood out about today's race was the course and how the countryside around it looked on a beautiful almost perfect Autumn morning. There was a large local effort with stewarding and many local people watched from their gardens as the race passed by. The organisation of the race was first class with every detail taken care of from the start until the finish. There was some rain showers from about 13:00 onwards but these soon passed.
There is a large set of photographs from today's race - taken at the start in Longwood village and the 25KM mark outside near our home.
They are available on our Flickr photostream at the following set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157687694983023

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

36.9 Megahertz Helix Antenna
Doppler Velocity and Position (DOVAP)
Reference Transmitter Antenna
Developed during World War II by the Germans as part of a V-2 guidance and control system, DOVAP traced the course of a rocket using the Doppler Effect caused by a target moving relative to a ground transmitter and receiving stations.
Unlike radar, Dovap did not allow scientists to "see" the rocket on a screen. Instead, it sent up radio waves, which were received and rebroadcast back to earth by the rocket. The returned waves combined with the original ground broadcast and produced a musical tone which varied with the rocket's speed - the faster the rocket, the higher the pitch.
DOVAP data was extremely accurate: it could place a rocket's position at 100 miles up within 50 feet. It could collect data at the extreme altitudes of 100 to 300 miles. Dovap's disadvantage was that it took 3 to 4 weeks to reduce the data.
The antenna is a helix because of its physical and electronic characteristics. A helix is simple to construct and operate, provides necessary signal gain and directivity, and can be operated in several modes or polarizations.
The DOVAP system provided trajectory data and ground guidance for most of the early rocket systems: Corporal, Sergeant, Honest John, Little John, Redstone, and Aerobee Upper Atmosphere programs.
This particular antenna was built in the mid-1960s near C Station. Like much of the early instrumentation used here, it was designed and built at White Sands Missile Range
Positioned on the northern bank of the Brisbane River, Brisbane Powerhouse was developed from a decommissioned power station.
The original New Farm powerhouse, designed by architect Roy Rusden Ogg and commissioned by the newly formed Greater Brisbane City Council, went into service as the first council-operated power station built in Brisbane in June 1928.[2][3] Earlier power stations in Brisbane had been operated by private companies. The New Farm powerhouse supplied electricity for the whole tramway network. A total of 56 MW could be produced at 11 kV 3 phase. It also produced power and lighting loads for the suburbs of Yeerongpilly, Toowong and Ithaca.[4] As Brisbane grew, more suburbs drew their electrical power from the powerhouse. The commercial areas and older suburbs of Brisbane drew their electricity from a private power generating company called the City Electric and Light Company, whose powerhouses were located on the Bulimba Reach of the Brisbane River.
The electric light power house in ca. 1950
The Government of Queensland decided that there should be one electrical authority for South East Queensland in 1961.[5] In 1963, the City Council sold the New Farm powerhouse to the Southern Electrical Authority which was part of the Queensland Government.[6]
Following a change in Council transport policy in 1967 the tram system was converted to bus operation and the last tram in Brisbane finally operated on 13 April 1969. The powerhouse was decommissioned in 1971[6] becoming derelict due to declining workloads and increasing maintenance costs.[3] Swanbank Power Station became the region's main supplier of electricity.[4] For approximately 20 years the building was used as a works depot, a chemical store by the Queensland Government and by the Australian Defence Force for military exercises.[4]
The building was also used by homeless people for shelter and by street kids for parties and gatherings,[4] with some leaving reminders of themselves; dates, words, their names and art on the walls of the building. These elements contribute to its being such a unique place that photographers and film makers similarly made use of the deserted space filming both commercial and artistic works over the period.[4] In 1989, the ownership of the site was returned to the Brisbane City Council
On basic cameras like this, the film position is indicated by markings on the paper film backing, visible through a small red window. Cover this up when you're not using it.
The markings vary depending on the film used. This symbol means "keep winding"!

"Positioning" was the title of a song I wrote long ago. Now it's a collage, but it has nothing to do with those lyrics.
As the largest built up area in Norfolk and home to a range of wartime production facilities, the city of Norwich was a major target for any German invasion of England via the North Sea.
In common with other major English cities, including London, Norwich was ringed with a series of anti-invasion defences that comprised pillboxes, anti-tank obstacles and roadblocks. Very little of these fortifications survive; in common with other urban areas, they tended to be removed soon after 1945 and post-war development of the city suburbs has also led to the removal of many defences.
One small, but important, survival is in the grounds of Earlham Hall to the west of Norwich, which is now a municipal park and in the grounds of the University of East Anglia. In one corner of the park, adjacent to the modern Earlham road is the remains of a spigot mortar position, which dates to c.1941.
The Earlham Spigot is typical of many in that the surrounding pit has been filled in, leaving only the top of the concrete pedestal visible, with its protruding steel pivot. In this case, the position was sited next to one of the major roads leading into Norwich and was intended to cover the bridge crossing the river Yare. This bridge was also prepared for demolition in the event of invasion. Although the trace of other defences has gone, the spigot is an important reminder that this was once part of Norwich’s defences.
Later in the war Earlham Hall (now part of the university) was used as a military hospital by the American 8th Air Force. The only trace of this today is the building in the park that is now used as a café.
