I love how this old brick warehouse has been transformed into offices. West Berkeley.
Happy Windows Wednesday!
234 Laurier
A retrofit of this 26-storey office tower - constructed in 1985 - included architectural, mechanical and electrical upgrades, transforming this Ottawa landmark to a modern and energy efficient building.
Formerly occupied by Export Development Canada (EDC), the building is now majority-occupied by Canadian tech firm Shopify.

July is the month we celebrate Independance with fireworks, parades and other amazing displays. Well, there is no more amazing display that to see Maddy -- anytime, anywhere. She combines jaw dropping mega-bombshell with Femme Fatale that promises delight and mystery, contained in her sparkling dark eyes. The very personification of Brickhouse, Maddy is a force of nature and a delight for the senses.
As you all know, I've wanted to resurrect Brickhouse Magazine since the Debut Issue back in June of 2019. Life isn't always fair: This lovely pandemic we have going, coupled with some health issues and other fun times of RL, have certified that as of the present, a full fledged Brickhouse Magazine is just not to be. However, I don't give up easily, and so I will hope you'll enjoy the Cover Pictorial we have to offer at present for Brickhouse Magazine.
For those luscious & lovely Models I'd planned to feature as Centerfolds and Wild Cherries, I hope to do so in the future, and forgive me the necessity of sacrificing these pictorials for the need of getting caught up in the magazine issues, under the obstacles I'm currently facing :)
So why are we doing them for months that have already passed us by? It only seems logical... we have a whole community of gorgeous Brickhouse Models, and I love to feature them. Also, my hope is to have a full 12 months of lovely girls to feature in a 2021 Brickhouse Calendar come the end of the year!
The listed "articles" are, of course, merely for flair and realism, tho they represent articles I'd love to feature, as well as a nod to those mentioned.

Most of you know Talena, the founder of Brickhouse. It only seemed logical to feature this amazing model for the Valentine's issue cover of the magazine; her birthday is Valentine's day, and she will always set the standard for what it means to be Brickhouse, in looks, persona, and outlook.

Retro meets retrofit: The Novespace Air Zero G aircraft is seen here next to Douglas the 1962 VW Transporter. The two are in Paderborn, Germany for the 76th ESA Parabolic Flight Campaign.
The refitted A310 Air Zero G aircraft flies in parabolas that offer teams from various research institutes and universities altered states of gravity to perform experiments and technology demonstrations. Experiments span many disciplines including complex fluidics and human physiology, and this campaign is no exception.
Running from 25 June to 1 July, the 76th campaign features an experiment studying the effect of gravity on hydrodynamics to better protect spacecraft and science instruments from the temperature fluctuations in space; a study on how immune cells flow under the stress of spaceflight; an experiment studying spinal stiffness under microgravity to mitigate lumbar pain for both astronauts and patients on Earth, to name a few.
A typical parabolic flight campaign involves three flights and requires a week of on-site preparation. Each flight offers 31 periods of weightlessness. The aircraft can also fly in arcs that provide lunar or martian gravity levels by adjusting the angle of attack of the wings. Each flight of this particular campaign will split the gravity states, flying one third of parabolas at martian-G, one third at lunar-G, and one third at zero-G.
The aircraft flies close to maximum speed and pulls the nose up to a 45° angle, then cuts the power to fall over the top of the curve. Whilst falling freely the passengers and experiments experience around 20 seconds of microgravity, until the plane is angled 45° nose-down, before pulling out of the dive to level off with normal flight.
These “pull up” and “pull out” manoeuvres before and after the weightless period increase gravity inside the plane up to 2g, but that is just part of the ride, repeated every three minutes for almost two hours.
The campaign is the fourth to take place under Covid-19 restrictions. Despite measures loosening across Europe, participants and coordinators adapted to safety measures: PCR tests were required to enter Germany, as well as rapid antigen or RT LAMP tests each day for every participant. Facilities on the ground as well as on board are adapted to allow for social distancing and cleanliness requirements. Surgical masks are worn at all times, and movement is restricted during the flights.
University students can also take part in a parabolic flight campaign thanks to the ESA Education Office’s Fly Your Thesis! programme. Masters and PhD students can propose their experiment, and upon selection, will be supported in preparing their experiment for the campaign by ESA Academy, ESA and Novespace experts. The 2022 Call for Proposals is now open.

Most of you know Lita Masterson (Lita Alexander as listed on her Flickr page. In previous photos I mentioned how delicious a model Lita is as a flame haired beauty; with her luscious curves, flame red hair and green eyes, and flawless skin, she was a natural for our Sr. Patricks' and Irish Culture Month Issue!

Retrofit of Brickhouse Magazine's Feb 2020 Centerfold

Englewood, CO - This is inside a Black Hawk helicopter. At this facility, they retrofit military helicopters for civilian and state government uses. Eventually, these particular helicopters will be used for search and rescue missions, including fighting fires. They will be fitted with a tank capable of holding 1,000 gallons of water.
It was a surreal experience being inside the finished helicopter. It is extremely loud in the cockpit, and that's before the engines are even turned on. Why is it so loud? It's the fans that cool the screens and instrument panels. It sounds like a jet engine in there.
As for the instruments, the keyboard layout is NOT in the QUERTY format. I asked them why that is and the response was, "because engineers like to mess with pilots".
Retrofit under-crown fender mount, press-fit into the butted end of the steerer. One M5 boss in a tiny steel inset, plus a pair of holes for drainage or passing wires.
This bike uses a center mounted brake, so the existing crown holes will be used as guides to drill through the waist section of this PlugNut to allow normal passage of the centerbolt.
Starting to retrofit my collection of Brickmania kits, one at a time, beginning with my favorite - the Priest.
I love the new Brickmania Track Links. There is just no comparison to the old Lego chain links.
And, yes, I know I have probably mounted mine facing the wrong way, and yes, I know the hatch on the Priest is not mounted properly. ;)
EDIT: Dan from BrickMania says I mounted the treads facing in the correct orientation. Hooray for 50:50 odds. ;)

It pays to have good friends, and this has been no truer than when Brickhouse Angel Kimmi Korro introduced me to this hot little bombshell, Porsche Jameson. Immediately I saw she is a perfect Brickhouse Angel, with her timeless beauty and bodacious body. She is sweet as hell and alot of fun.
I'm jazzed af to have Porsche, and welcome her proudly to Constantine Studios as the May 2020 Brickhouse Magazine Covergirl!

British Airways continues the process of refurbishing their Boeing 777s despite a rather difficult S22 schedule as demand isn't able to keep pace with a surge in passenger numbers; not surprising as staff retention hasn't been able to come close to pre-pandemic levels of demand.
The vast majority of their Boeing 777-200ERs have been refurbished which is almost complete as the 3-class examples based at London Heathrow undergo work at their Cardiff heavy maintenance facility. Very recently, British Airways has completed their London Gatwick-based Boeing 777-200ER fleet refurbishment with the last one completed as recently as July 2022.
British Airways began the process of refurbishing their Boeing 777-300ER fleet in mid-2021 to match the 4 end-of-line examples that were delivered back in 2020. So far, 3 examples have since been refurbished; overall the seat count has reduced from 299 to 254 seats but feature a significantly higher percentage of premium seating to match the now withdrawn Boeing 747-400 fleet.
At present, 2 further Boeing 777-300ERs are currently at Cardiff awaiting the fitting of their new cabins prior to re-entering service, but there will be a while yet until there is uniformity.
Currently, British Airways operates 59 Boeing 777s, which includes 43 Boeing 777-200ERs and 16 Boeing 777-300ERs. British Airways have 18 Boeing 777-9s on-order.
Sierra Tango Bravo Hotel is one of 16 Boeing 777-300ERs operated by British Airways, delivered new to the flag-carrier on lease from BBAM on 19th October 2013 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GE90-115B engines.
