A worker affixed bolts at a joint between segments.
On Saturday, workers replaced third rail near Bryn Mawr on the Red Line Saturday to help ensure continued, reliable power delivery to Red Line trains in the area. The "third rail" (also known as "contact rail") is the electrified rail through which power is delivered to our trains.
One segment at a time, workers removed existing sections of rail and replaced it with heavier-gauge sections, which can provide better conductivity. Each section is seated on insulated third rail chairs, bolted together with adjacent sections and smoothed out at joints. Welders also come out and connect the rail to the power system using jumper cables.
The rail that's been removed will be reused for other important power delivery improvements, later—an efficient and sustainable practice we employ to make the most of the materials at our disposal.
The section replaced on Saturday morning and afternoon was on the Howard-bound Red Line track and measures in at about 1900 feet, or about 580 meters, in length. To put the heft of this work into perspective, the base, steel component of third rail that was installed weighs about 85lbs. for every three feet of rail—this doesn't include the weight of aluminum that's affixed to the rail for added electrical conductivity, bolts, insulators and other components that are a part of delivering power to trains. The total weight of the steel part of the rail moved just on Saturday is upwards of 52 tons.

Built from mid-1970s, the "Tram 2000" was planned to replace the whole Zurich tram fleet until 2000. As we know, the "invention" of low-floor trams and the oncoming wish to use air-conditionned vehicles made that plans redundant, and around 2000, the first Cobra trams set a new standard in Switzerland's largest urban area. With the first Bombardier Flexitys entering service, the replacement for that iconic trams is getting nearer, while it is not clear, if the Flexities will be the definitive end for the series or not. The articulated Be 4/6 are used mainly in couples or combined with an added Be 4/4 single motor car, but where (and still are) running solo especially on route 15, which is among others using the nearly car-free "Limmatquai" - seen here from Lindenhof square in old "Oberdorf" part of Zurich.

First flown in Jan-94 with the British Aerospace test registration G-6-228, this aircraft was originally built for lease to Business Express Airlines (USA) as N835BE but the lease was cancelled.
It was re-registered G-OLXX ('LXX' being 70 in Roman numerals) two weeks later and used as a "Demonstrator" and test aircraft for B.Ae, painted in this full Air Malta livery. You can see the 4th window from the back is a blank with a sensor sticking out of it.
It was transferred to British Aerospace (Operations) Ltd in Nov-94. The aircraft was leased to Flightline and wet-leased to British Airways in Jul-95. it was returned to B.Ae (Operations) Ltd in Oct-95.
In Dec-95 it was leased to National Jet Systems (Australia) as VH-NJT and operated on behalf of Australian Air Express. It was transferred to National Jet Express in Dec-09. The aircraft was retired and broken up at Adelade, Australia in 2014.

Operating for Monarch Airlines, still in basic Saudi Arabian Airlines livery on a murky morning at Manchester. Grainy too!
Leased from ILFC, this aircraft was delivered to World Airways in Apr-93 as N273WA. As well as it's own services, World Airways operated extensively for the US Government and also for other airlines on an 'ACMI' leasing basis (= Aircraft, Crew, Maintenance & Insurance). It was wet-leased to the following airlines, mostly on annual Haj Pilgrimage flights... Garuda Indonesia, Apr/Jul-93. Malaysia Airlines, Oct-94/Jun-97 (and during this lease it was also sub-lsd to Garuda Indonesia by Malaysia Airlines between Apr/Aug-95). City Bird Airlines (Belgium), Jul-97/Feb-98. Garuda Indonesia, Mar/May-98. Monarch Airlines, May/Aug-98. Saudi Arabian Airlines, Feb/Apr-99 and Monarch Airlines for 1 week in May-99. By 2013, World Airways were suffering from financial problems and the aircraft was returned to the lessor in Nov-13 and stored at Goodyear, AZ, USA. [World Airways ceased operations in Mar-14]. It is now permanently retired and was noted still stored at Goodyear without engines in Mar-14.
Agde es una localidad y comuna francesa de 19.988 habitantes, situada en el departamento de Hérault, en la región de Languedoc-Rosellón.
Agde is located on the river Hérault, 4 km from the Mediterranean Sea, and 750 km from Paris. The Canal du Midi connects to the Hérault at the lock ("L'Écluse Ronde d'Agde") just above Agde and empties into the Mediterranean at Le Grau d'Agde.
Agde is known for the distinctive black basalt used in the local architecture, for example the cathedral of Saint Stephen, built in the 12th century to replace a ninth century Carolingian edifice built on the foundations of a 5th century Roman church.
El Teatro Colón (Columbus Theatre), located at Cerrito 628, is acoustically considered to be amongst the best opera houses and concert venues in the world. The present theatre, replacing a 1857 theatre by the same name, opened on May 25, 1908 with Giuseppe Verdi's Aïda. The auditorium is horseshoe-shaped, has 2,487 seats with standing room for an additional 1,000 people and a stage which is 20 meters wide, 15 meters high and 20 meters deep.
Designed in the Italian style by architect Francesco Tamburini, and his pupil, Vittorio Meano, construction was started in 1889 and survived the death of Tamburini in 1891, the murder of Meano in 1904 and the death of financer Angelo Ferrari. Construction was completed under the direction of Belgian architect Julio Dormal who made some changes in the structure and left his mark in the French style of the decoration. The bas-reliefs and busts on the facade are the work of sculptor Luigi Trinchero. From 2006 through 2010, the theatre was closed to allow for a full $100 million renovation.

This is a photograph from the 3rd Annual Meath Spring Half Marathon and 10KM Road Races hosted by Bohermeen AC on the 2nd March 2014 at 12:00 at Bohermeen, Ardbraccan, Navan, Co. Meath, Ireland. This year's event included a 10KM race which replaced the 5KM event held on the previous years. This event has grown quickly in popularity over the past few years with this year's entry of 700 beating the previous race numbers of 680. This half marathon event is perfectly placed in the Irish running calendar as it provides runners of all levels and abilities an opportunity to test the half marathon distance in preparation for a Spring Marathon or as the first serious running goal of the New Year. Bohermeen AC is steeped in Irish athletics history since 1927 and it is this experience and exceptional community spirit and volunteering which has made this event today so successful. The very heavy rain that fell on the 10KM race and the begining of the Half Marathon did nothing to dampen the spirits of the participants. In fact, despite a head wind at certain parts of the course, this was a perfect day for road racing.
Our full set of photographs from today's event are available on Flickr at the following link http://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157641717197563/. This set of photographs is mostly of the Half Marathon race but there are some from the 10KM event.

The Satellite Navigation Coordinates to Bohermeen are [53.650882,-6.77989] and is accessible using the M3, N2 and N52
The routing for the 2014 event has changed slightly from previous year. In 2014 the race starts about 100m away from the Bohermeen Club Race HQ [See Google StreetView in the direction of the imagery goo.gl/maps/rtj1X] and the race proceeds down the road towards Navan. Just before the 1st mile the race takes a right turn [see Google Streetview goo.gl/maps/iGrR0] which brings runners on the route of the famous Patrick Bell 5KM Road Race route held at Bohermeen every summer. Then the route turns slightly eastwards and this brings the race along a beautiful stretch of rural countryside road. This connects runners with the main loop [see Google StreetView goo.gl/maps/gLI1l] where the race follows the N51 towards Navan. The race must now complete this loop (which passes through the start area and past the finish) and then a full loop again before finishing in the Athletics track. The only hills to speak of in this course are on the the stretch where the race route crosses the M3 motorway (see Google Streetview - as of March 2014 their imagery is a little out of date for the M3 goo.gl/maps/tcdJX). The only major climb on the course must be tackled twice as the road rises up over the M3 Motorway. This comes at about the 5M and 11.5 Mile mark in the race.

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.

Baltimore Parkway Theater Tour (1915, Oliver Birkhead Wight, remodeled in 1926 by John Eberson, 1939. 1956, renovated 2016-2017) Photograph by James Russiello
Had a wonderful, brief, tour of The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway ("The Parkway"), a movie theater located at 5 West North Avenue in the Station North Arts & Entertainment District, Baltimore, Maryland.
This conservation effort is spot-on and should get better press.
The Italian Renaissance style theater was designed by Baltimore architect Oliver Birkhead Wight and built in 1915 for a cost of approx.. $120,000, with a lavish interior decorated in the Louis XIV style. It opened on October 23, 1915 as a movie theater, was remodeled by New York architect John Eberson in 1926 as a Loew’s movie palace, which reduced the seating to 150 and simplified the ornate detailing, replacing a organ, enlarging a lobby, and adding a new marquis. A new marquis and mezzanine renovations were carried out in 1939 by Loew’s, and then another remodeling occurred in 1956 by the Schwaber organization, which rebranded the Parkway as “5 West,” an art house theater. Capacity was reduced to 435, and the colors were substantially reduced to browns, beiges, and greens. 5 West closed in 1978, and sat vacant, slowly decaying. It was rebuilt in 2016 by the Maryland Film Festival to the designs by Baltimore-based Ziger/Snead with a “rescue ruin” aesthetic approach, similar to Brooklyn’s BAM.
"Parkway Theatre turns 100, passes $15M mark in renovation funds" Baltimore Fishbowl article by Edward Gunts (www.baltimorebrew.com/2015/10/24/parkway-theatre-turns-10...)
Perhaps the prettiest of the many abandoned movie houses in Baltimore, the Parkway is poised for a new lease on life
Parkway Theatre turns 100, passes $15M mark in renovation funds - Perhaps the prettiest of the many abandoned movie houses in Baltimore, the Parkway is poised for a new lease on life
On October 23, 1915, a star-studded crowd turned out to celebrate the opening of a newfangled contraption in Baltimore, a motion picture theater called The Parkway.
Last night, another star-studded crowd turned out to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Parkway’s opening at 5 W. North Avenue and announce the start of an $18.5 million renovation and expansion that is hoped to transform it into the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Parkway Film Center by March of 2017.
Supporters of the project say they have raised more than $15 million in less than two years and that construction will begin next month.
“This is a celebration of a birth and a rebirth,” said Tad Glenn, chairman of the board of the Maryland Film Festival, which is working with the Johns Hopkins University and the Maryland Institute College of Art to recycle the theater and redevelop three adjoining parcels on North Charles Street.
The Maryland Film Festival will be the center’s owner and operator. Jed Dietz, director of the Maryland Film Festival, said the Parkway renovation will help strengthen the Station North Arts & Entertainment District and the neighborhoods around it, while helping the Film Festival grow.
“We have raised more than $15 million,” he said. “We still have $3.5 million to go . . . We’re going to help Baltimore take the next step” in its revitalization.
The largest chunk of funds ($5 million) comes from a grant to Johns Hopkins from the foundation established by the late Greek shipping magnate, Stavros Niarchos.
Plans by Ziger/Snead Architects call for the 29,000-square-foot film center to include a 422-seat main theater in the shell of the Parkway, which was designed by Oliver Wight and closed in the 1970s. The center also will contain two 100-seat theaters, a first-floor lounge, and office and seminar space for Johns Hopkins and MICA film students.
The building at the southwest corner of Charles Street and North Avenue will be torn down and replaced with a new structure providing “state of the art” spaces that can’t fit into the Parkway.
One goal, supporters say, is to add more screens locally to show films that don’t come to Baltimore today. Of the 950 films that The New York Times reviewed last year, only 350 were screened in Baltimore, they say.
Another goal is to have a place where students can learn about filmmaking. Supporters say they expect filmmakers to come from around the world for public screenings of films, lectures and other events.
Low Price for Property
More than 100 people crowded into Liam Flynn’s Ale House on North Avenue last night for the announcement about the capital campaign. That was followed by an outdoor festival at the Ynot Lot at Charles Street and North Avenue, featuring black and white films shown against the side of a building.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake told the crowd that her administration sold the Parkway and three adjacent properties to the developers for $1, even though the appraised value was much higher.
“The appraisal came in at over $1 million — I think $1.2 [million],” she said. “I think you got a deal. I consider myself a bargain shopper. . . You are putting my bargain shopping to shame.”
Baltimore filmmaker John Waters, one of three honorary co-chairs of the Parkway Campaign, posed for selfies with fans such as the mayor and shared some of his memories of the area from back when he “got out of Lutherville, Maryland, and came down to be a beatnik.”
Waters said he thinks the Station North Arts District is a fitting spot for the film center because the area has a history of showing films people couldn’t see elsewhere in town.
Scariest Bar in Town
He said he remembers going to the Parkway when it was called the 5 West to see Never on Sunday, a film banned by the Catholic Church.
He said he also remembers places such as the Wigwam (“the scariest bar in Baltimore”), Nate’s & Leon’s and an unsuccessful effort to rename North Avenue “James Brown Boulevard.”
During his remarks, Waters revealed a trait he shares with the Parkway: “I’m 100 years old, too.”
Replacing a tire on one of the snowblowers. Those are some big tires, and it looks like it would be a challenge to change the tire in the snow.
Replaced the SLR adjustable gas block with another made by JP. Had I bought the 12.5 inch Apex free float instead of the carbine lenght, I would have kept the SLR because it would have been inside of the free float tube. I also replaced the trigger guard. Now all I need to do is find me a good accurate load for it.
I'm not so sure. But maybe I'm just grumpy because I lost my body. As much as I criticized it sometimes, I was still quite attached to it. :(

Oh dear. My obitsued Pullip Alice had her neck broke, as careful as I was with it. What to do, what to do?! Is there any other way than buying a new obitsu and starting over? I might take the easy way and replace it with Pullip stock body - what a shame.

Pvt. Teahan—his name carved into the stock—parachuted into Normandy with this rifle in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944. He was killed in the fighting shortly thereafter, along with more than half the men of the 508th Infantry regiment. Officially the “U.S. Rifle Semiautomatic, Caliber .30, M1,” these were commonly called the M1 Rifle, or the “Garand” after the designer John C. Garand. In 1936, Garand’s design replaced the M1903 Springfield as the standard service rifle of the Army and it remained so until 1957. General George Patton called the M1 Garand rifle the “greatest battle implement ever devised.” (National Museum of the United States Army, Scott Metzler)
Here is how the old bridge bridge was described: "Single-arch humpbacked limestone canal bridge, dated 1792, carrying Ratoath Road on north-south axis over Royal Canal. Elliptical arch with tooled limestone voussoirs and granite keystones rising from coursed limestone ashlar walls with curved limestone ashlar spandrels. Coursed limestone ashlar parapets with plat-band to base and flat limestone coping terminated to either end by round limestone piers with round capstones (replaced with cement to northwest). Parapet damaged and poorly rebuilt to north end of east parapet and to both ends of west parapet. Carved Portland limestone plaque set into both parapets with oval panels inscribed '1792 H.S Reilly Bridge & Lock'. Located adjacent to 8th Lock."
Up until a few years ago the Ratoath Road linked Cabra to Dunsink in north Dublin. The road crossed the Dublin to Sligo Railway Line at a level crossing and the Royal Canal at an existing masonry arch bridge [described above]. In April 2008 a feasibility study recommended the closure of the level crossing, XG002. At the time a major increase in railway and other traffic was expected for the following reasons:
Opening of the Spencer Dock Station in Dublin’s docklands
Reopening of the Clonsilla to Pace sections of the Dublin to Navan Railway Line
Reopening of the Pace to Navan sections of the Dublin to Navan Railway Line.
Improvement in Commuter and Intercity services on the Dublin to Sligo Line
Proposal for the DART Underground project between Docklands and Inchicore
Future electrification of the Maynooth Line
Roughan & O’Donovan Consulting Engineers were commissioned by Iarnród Éireann to design a scheme to eliminate the level crossing and the resulting scheme incorporated the following major elements:
Traffic, cycle and pedestrian facilities along the 500m of realigned road
Tie-in to the existing Ratoath Road at Marian School, circa 240m south of the level crossing
Landscaped embankment on the southern approach to the bridge constructed on the grassed area to the east of the existing road
A 70m long single span steel truss bridge crossing the railway and the canal
Reinforced earth walled embankment along the open land between the existing commercial units to the north of the bridge
Pedestrian ramped access to the canal from the north west side of the bridge
A revised signalised arrangement of the Ballyboggan Road junction
Closure of the existing XG002 Reilly’s level crossing
The scheme was approved in July 2011 and work commenced on site in July 2013 to be completed by 2015.

Replaced the gearbox mount and the intercooler hoses with silicone hoses which are much more durable than the old rubber hoses.
The new gearbox mount is fitted with PU bushes instead of rubber bushes which are also more durable + stronger.
Replaced almost all indoor lights with warm white LED replacements. Much more energy efficient and also gives a more modern look.
I dont like the look of the blueish white LEDs, these are much better and give a more "usable" light.
Everything can be done at home by yourself, even the big cluster lights. The manual says it needs to be done by the garage / dealer, but save yourself some money and do it yourself!
All lights are either 36mm / 39mm festoon C5W or W5W / T10 Wedge bulbs

First flown as F-GFKH in Jun-89 (in the days when aircraft destined for a French airline didn't use an F-WWxx registration), this aircraft was delivered to Air France in Aug-89. It was permanently retired at Goodyear, AZ, USA in Dec-13 after 24 years in service. Updated 11-Aug-21.
Replaced the gearbox mount and the intercooler hoses with silicone hoses which are much more durable than the old rubber hoses.
The new gearbox mount is fitted with PU bushes instead of rubber bushes which are also more durable + stronger.
Replacing a window on your own is not an easy task if anything goes wrong in installation it will leads to a big problem. Hiring a professional window installer can fix your window in a proper manner and also avoid the mistakes while installation. There are various reasons to hire a professional window installer such as reliable service, save time, anticipate problem, and have all latest equipments.

Replaced the stock 13T turbo with the bigger & stronger 16T turbo from a V70 T5.
Re-used the Mamba wastegate actuator (so makes the same boost now) and made the step towards an external DV, which is better than the bolt-on CBV (which I already upgraded).
Pulls a bit harder and feels a tad more powerfull!
The R Type is the second series of post-war Bentley automobiles, replacing the Mark VI. Essentially a larger-boot version of the Mk VI, the R type is regarded by some as a stop-gap before the introduction of the S series cars in 1955. As with its predecessor, a standard body was available as well as coachbuilt versions by firms including H. J. Mulliner & Co., Park Ward, Harold Radford, Freestone and Webb and others.
Other than the radiator grilles and the carburation there was little difference between the standard Bentley R Type and the Rolls-Royce Silver Dawn. The R Type was the more popular marque, with some 2,500 units manufactured during its run to the Silver Dawn's 760.
DESIGN
During development it was referred to as the Bentley Mark VII; the chassis cards for these cars describe them as Bentley 7. The R Type name which is now usually applied stems from chassis series RT. The front of the saloon model was identical to the Mark VI, but the boot (trunk) was almost doubled in capacity. The engine displacement was approximately 4½ litres, as fitted to later versions of the Mark VI. An automatic choke was fitted to the R-type's carburettor. The attachment of the rear springs to the chassis was altered in detail between the Mark VI and the R Type.
For buyers looking for a more distinctive car, a decreasing number had custom coachwork available from the dwindling number of UK coachbuilders. These ranged from the grand flowing lines of Freestone and Webb's conservative, almost prewar shapes, to the practical conversions of Harold Radford which including a clamshell style tailgate and folding rear seats
RUNNING GEAR
All R Type models use an iron-block/aluminium-head straight-6 engine fed by twin SU Type H6 carburettors. The basic engine displaced 4,566 cc with a 92 mm bore and 114.3 mm stroke. A 4-speed manual transmission was standard with a 4-speed automatic option becoming standard on later cars.
Brakes and suspension
The suspension was independent at the front using coil springs with semi elliptic leaf springs at the rear. The brakes used 311 mm drums all round and were operated hydraulically at the front and mechanically at the rear via a gearbox driven servo.
PERFORMANCE
A four door saloon with automatic transmission tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1953 had a top speed of 163.7 km/h and could accelerate from 0-97 km/h in 13.25 seconds. A fuel consumption of 18.2 L/100 km was recorded. The test car cost £4481 including taxes.
BODIES
The first example is the standard steel saloon built by Bentley, but a number of customers opted for a bare chassis which was taken to a coachbuilder of their choice.
R-TYPE CONTINENTAL
The R-Type Continental was a high-performance version of the R-Type. It was the fastest four-seat car in production at the time.
The prototype was developed by a team of designers and engineers from Rolls-Royce Ltd. and H. J. Mulliner & Co. led by Rolls-Royce's Chief Project Engineer, Ivan Evernden. Rolls-Royce worked with H. J. Mulliner instead of their own coachbuilding subsidiary Park Ward because the former had developed a lightweight body construction system using metal throughout instead of the traditional ash-framed bodies.
The styling, finalised by Stanley Watts of H. J. Mulliner, was influenced by aerodynamic testing conducted at Rolls-Royce's wind tunnel by Evernden's assistant, Milford Read. The rear fins stabilised the car at speed and made it resistant to changes in direction due to crosswinds.
A maximum kerb weight of 34 long hundredweight (1,700 kg) was specified to keep the tyres within a safe load limit at a top speed of 190 km/h.
The prototype, with chassis number 9-B-VI and registration number OLG-490, which earned it the nickname "Olga", was on the road by August 1951. Olga and the first series of production Continentals were based on the Mark VI chassis, and used a manual mixture control on the steering wheel boss, as these versions did not have an automatic choke.
The early R Type Continental has essentially the same engine as the standard R Type, but with modified carburation, induction and exhaust manifolds along with higher gear ratios. The compression ratio was raised to 7.25:1 from the standard 6.75:1, while the final gear ratio was raised (lowered numerically) from 3.41 to 3.07.
Despite its name, the two-door Continental was produced principally for the domestic home market, most of the 207 cars produced were right-hand drive, with 43 left-hand drive examples produced for use abroad. The chassis was produced at the Rolls-Royce Crewe factory and shared many components with the standard R type. R-Type Continentals were delivered as rolling chassis to the coachbuilder of choice. Coachwork for most of these cars was completed by H. J. Mulliner & Co. who mainly built them in fastback coupe form. Other coachwork came from Park Ward (London) who built six, later including a drophead coupe version. Franay (Paris) built five, Graber (Wichtrach, Switzerland) built three, one of them later altered by Köng (Basel, Switzerland), and Pininfarina made one. James Young (London) built in 1954 a Sports Saloon for the owner of the company, James Barclay.
After July 1954, the car was fitted with an engine with a larger bore of 94.62 mm, giving a total displacement of 4.9 L.
The rarity of the R Type Continental has made the car valuable to car collectors. In 2015 a 1952 R Type Continental, in unrestored condition, sold for over $1 million USD.
