Bringing up the rear of the northbound North Pole Express, Precision 57 - a GP40WH-2 - not only provides HEP to the train, but is used to pull the NPE back to Owosso, since there is no wye in Ahsley.
Systems engineer Richard Montesanti operates the precision robotic assembly machine at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It was developed to manufacture small and complex laser-driven fusion ignition targets for the National Ignition Facility, although it can be adapted to build other complex miniature devices. The machine can manipulate five target components at once in a 1-cubic-centimeter operating arena. [More information]
World War II Aviation: The Final Blows
The Final Blow
In late 1944, strategic bombing became an effective tool to force the Japanese
To surrender. B-29 Superfortresses of the XXI Bomber Command, initially
Flying high-altitude, precision daylight bombing missions, began bombing key
Targets in Japan. However, strong jet stream winds compromised th
effectiveness of their Norden bombsights. In March 1945, Maj. Gen. Curtis E.
Lemay ordered the bombers to abandon these failed tactics in favor of low-
Altitude missions at night using incendiary bombs. These attacks, carried out by
Hundreds of B-29s, devastated Japanese cities
On August 6 and 9, 1945, specially modified B-29 of the 509th Composite
Group carried out two of the final strategic bombing missions of the war. They
Dropped a single atomic bomb on Hiroshima and then Nagasaki. Japan
surrendered days later.
Maj. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay
General LeMay (left) emerged as one of the most celebrated air commanders of the war. He led the XX Bomber Command in the China-Burma-India theater; commanded the XXI Bomber Comand, headquartered on Guam; became chief of staff of the Strategic Air Forces in the Pacific. LeMay is shown with Maj. Gen. Haywood S. “Possum” Hansell, who assumed leadership of the XXI Bomber Command in August 1944.
The Kamikaze
Japan employed kamikaze, or suicide units, in last days of the war in a desparate attempt to stem the tide of the U.S. advance. Some 5,900 pilots perished in kamikaze attacks. Kamikaze tactics brought considerable damage to U.S. warships off Okinawa in April 1945, sinking 21 and damaging 217 more. The jet-propelled Baka, shown here, was designed for kamikaze missions.
“Little Boy” Atomic Bomb
The B-29 Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy” on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Note the three arming plugs near the top center seam of the weapon. Examples of these are located in the nearby exhibit case.

The End of World War II
The Japanese surrendered on September 2, 1945, aboard the battleship USS Missouri, anchored in Tokyo Bay. Gen. Douglas MacArthur officiated at the ceremony. Fleet Adm. Chester Nimitz signed the surrender document on behalf of the United States
Seen as I stepped off the bus at Broadway, in front of the UTS building. This is a pretty precision chalk stencil. I was pretty impressed with the level of detail on this.
It made me wonder whether they had been influenced by the NIke Chalkbot project and stepped up how they tag the streets as I've never seen a pavement ad look this sharp but not fall under the area of illegal graffiti.
Before the second "muncher" removes a section of the decommissioned westbound SR 520 off-ramp to Lake Washington Boulevard, the first "muncher" holds the remaining girders in place.
I went all out on this one [sarcasm]
There's not a lot of original stuff you can do with an AK anymore soooo.....
A fretless Fender Precision bass guitar. In the 1950s Leo Fender made a bass guitar with frets. Since the only other bass available to a band was a double bass, these frets gave bass players an unusually precise way to hit each note and hence the name that fender gave it: "Precision Bass".
It is somewhat ironic that many bass guitarists like these fretless guitars because of the tonal possibilities, more so, that this example of a fretless is a Precision bass, and not any other model of Fender's bass guitars.
Strobist/Lighting:
A single flash, camera right, and slightly elevated above the guitar's body. Its a Metz 45, (at 1/4 power with ebay radio triggers) so its close proximity and massive head (bigger than a Vivitar, much bigger than an SB) means the light isn't too hard. This was shot in a bright white room, using a black cloth to make the background dark.
Oh, and I shot in the wrong white balance deliberately to get these funky colours, kept the exposure low to get the saturation up, and get the specular highlights off all the varnish and shiny steel from over exposing too.
My old 1987 Fender Precision Bass. She was a blond, and now she's a brunette.. (Just for a while though!) I gave this temporary neck the same serial number as the original maple neck.
Can't wait till the original neck is back in shape so I can put her back together the way she's supposed to be.. But, for now, she's gonna be a brunette for a while. :)

Dall'archivio fotografico dall'amico Giovanni Boero.
Il set in questione vuole essere un omaggio agli uomini ed ai mezzi del comune di Genova che,
in occasione del terremoto in Irpinia del 1980,
si sono prodigati per prestare assistenza alle popolazioni colpite dal sisma.
Per la precisione le foto sono state scattate nelle zone del comune di Colliano (SA).
Used precision-style bass guitar. (Left) as purchased, (right) with a new 'Moto' (mother-of-toilet seat) pickguard and flatwound strings. A nice budget bass with a very playable maple fretboard. Believed to be Korean made by Samick.
