16.oktobrī Rīgas ostā ieradās nākamā ASV operācijas “Atlantic Resolve” rotācija, kas dosies pildīt dienesta pienākumus Lietuvā.

ASV karavīri, ekipējums un bruņutehnika ieradās Rīgas ostā no Forthudas, Teksasā, ASV un tālāk cauri Latvijai tiks nogādāta Lietuvā.

Pēc Krievijas veiktās Krimas aneksijas 2014. gada pavasarī un agresijas Ukrainas austrumos ASV sāka mācību operāciju „Atlantic Resolve”. Operācijas mērķis ir apliecināt ASV nepārtraukto ieguldījumu NATO dalībvalstu kolektīvajā drošībā, veicinot mieru un stabilitāti Baltijas valstīs un Polijā. Operācija ir izvērsta arī Rumānijā un Bulgārijā.

A lapse in judgment caused me to drill an extra pin hole in the wrong place in an otherwise final fitted and pinned down tube. The surplus hole was located on the visible side of the BB spigot's shoreline; not a structurally happy place; simply brazing a pin in and filing it flush didn't strike me as sensible. Two reasonable solutions were available; trash the DT or modify the BB shell to adequately cover and reinforce the hole. I chose the latter. The photos show the story but briefly: I gas welded both sides of a small extension to the existing lug spigot and reshaped it to suit. The extension came from a BB shell that had been used for other prototyping purposes.

I have to confess that I'm rather pleased with the results and, as I long have been, am in awe of the folks who made it look easy on extremely complex joints found in tubular aircraft frames back in the middle of the last century. I've done enough TIG to know which is more difficult! Although I didn't feel this way when I discovered my mistake I'm glad to have made it; the whole thing, from the root cause of my blindered mistake (altering BB drop a skosh, ...after the entire main triangle was fitted, pinned and vent holes drilled) through all the elements necessary for resolution, was an excellent learning exercise.

Assignment: PCA51 - Resolution

Deadline: January 4 2009

Image tag: pca51

From: bowtoo

WIT: I chose to think of resolution as the resolving power of something - first I was going to macro the flickr logo on the monitor and then figured that was too cheesy and obvious. Then I though about maybe using the "The End" from a movie (also in macro - resolution as in the movie was resolved, and resolution as in you can see the pixels) but I was back to taking pictures of other people's art when I did that, which was less than satisfying.

I then thought of Dali's Image of Abraham Lincoln (My mom has a signed print!) which only comes out when you step way back from the image.

Obviously this isn't Honest Abe, but if you squint at it it should look vaguely familiar (i.e. an image will "resolve") - enlarged all of the images may be familiar as well :)

EDIT: D'oh sorry all; I left off half the WIT! I just checked on this over lunch and must expose myself for the fraud I am! I did, as Nabaz conjectured, use software to get this done: Andrea Mosaic. I chose many of my more recent photos and PCA submissions/alts to use and tweaked/changed some of them once the mosaic was produced, and also cropped the final result. I have to say, I was impressed enough with it that I donated some $$s to the cause.

Resolve : Firm in purpose or intent; determined.

Yesterday after waking up at 4pm and feeling like i just wasted a whole day, i found out about a judo meet my highschool. Feeling like i had nothing else to do and alone basically. I decided that i really wanted to see my old friends again.

Ever since i had began running start, not just running start but when highschool actually started i began to lose a lot of friends. I was meeting a lot more people and was creating a lot more relationships but nothing ever lasted. I had realized that i was drifting away, everyone was drifting away from each other. As of i now i really feel like i dont have a "crowd." i have no concrete friends who i feel will be there no matter what. But it's partially my fault because i had given up on trying to rebuild friendships.

As i entered the gym i sat down in the front corner of the stands. I didnt see anyone i knew, around where i was. So i sat there for a while and just kind of searched for my friends. hoping i'd find someone. But as the day went on i started seeing more people and i felt a lot more connected..?

During the judo meet i was finally able to see one of my distant best friends match. Sadly in the end he had lost, but what had happened during the match was cruciallll. he went like mad hard core judo stance movement flip and techniquessaur. He had obviously put a great match and had definitely caught the attention of the whole gym. He had the resolve to win and he really put everything he had into achieving it.

I'm happy that i was able to go to that meet and see all of my friends and witness how much they had all grown.

The up's and downs that we go through in our lives, shape who we are.

I'm sure Kenneth will become a much better judoka and i hope to steer my life back into the right direction. As long as we have a solid resolve and really put our hearts into it, everything will turn out okay.

i talkkk sooo muchhhhhh x___x
