Somewhere around December 25, Flickr's tag system broke. There's plenty of chatter in the help forum, I won't repeat it here.
FORT BRAGG, N.C. --- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District completed this $11 million Training Support Center in April 2011, which serves as a central location for all Army training aids, products and devices on Fort Bragg. Additionally, the 118,700 square-foot facility includes 12 training rooms where Soldiers use advanced video gaming technology for virtual weapons training. The sophisticated technology mimics real world battlefield scenarios and provides Soldiers with useful feedback for improving their accuracy and precision in weapons firing. With construction performed by North Carolina-based prime contractor Osborne Company, this project is the first warehouse facility of its type in the Army. It will serve as a prototype for similar facilities at other major Army installations worldwide. Pictured: Karl Vanstavoren. USACE photo by Tracy Robillard.

ADL Enviro 200 YJ09 CVE is normally a regular on Arriva Yorkshire (selby) route 42, but today had failed at York and so was getting some attention from the support crew - using a transit that has clearly seen better days!
The photo shows the tools I used to hold a 2x4 against the ceiling of my garage. I was attaching 2x4s to the ceiling to make it easier to hang things and brace things (like free-standing shelves).
The picture was taken part-way through the process of pressing the board to the ceiling. I was acting alone. Based on something I saw in a magazine, and heavily influenced by my make-it-as-complicated-as-possible philosophy, the method I used was this:
1. Mark location on ceiling for the 2x4 ceiling board (hereafter referred to as "ceiling board").
2. Nail two small string cradles to the ceiling near the ends of the proposed position of the ceiling board. The ceiling board will hang temporarily in these cradles.
3. Insert one end of the ceiling board into one cradle, then the other end into the other cradle. Result: the ceiling board is hanging in the two cradles about two inches (5cm) below the ceiling.
4. Place two clamps within easy reach of each end of the ceiling board. They will be used later.
5. Grab two other boards: a pre-cut board that is almost as long as the floor-to-ceiling distance and a short board. These, clamped together, will act as temporary supports for the ceiling board. Stand on a stool under one end of the ceiling board, holding the two supports together vertically.
6. Keeping the supports pressed together, move the short board upward as far as possible, elevating the end of the ceiling board. Clamp the two supports together. RESULT: the very end of the ceiling board is pressed against the ceiling. The other end of the ceiling board is still lying in its cradle.
7. Repeat the raising process at the other end of the ceiling board. RESULT: this end of the ceiling board is now pressed against the ceiling, but the other end is still a bit loose.
8. Return to the first end of the ceiling board, loosen the clamps, repeat the raising process, and re-clamp the supports. RESULT: this end of the hanging board is tight enough against the ceiling to require no more raising.
9. Return (again) to the second end and repeat the raising process there. RESULT: the ceiling board is pressed tightly enough against the ceiling to allow drilling of pilot holes for the screws that will attach the ceiling board to the ceiling.
10. Drill holes, install screws, remove the hanging cradles and supports.
The process is tedious to say the least. But it worked: I attached four 2x4s to the ceiling in this manner. After this work was finished I realized I could have simplified this process by using my stepladders as bases for holding the 2x4s in place. One can buy devices called "third hands" (often used by carpenters and drywall installers) to hold things in place, but I am too cheap to shell out $50 for a tool that gets little use.
I am in a rare fit of industriousness in the garage. That's why I've been inactive on Flickr lately. The goal is to create a better working environment on my side of the garage and enough additional storage space that we can park my wife's Jeep in the garage again.
Washington DC, March 26, 2017. Over a thousand Palestinian rights activists and supporters rallied in front of the White House and marched to the Washington Convention Center to protest the American Israel Public Affairs Committee yearly meeting. Around a dozen activists affiliated with the Jewish youth peace group If Not Now were removed (but not arrested!) by police for blocking one of the many entrances to the AIPAC event. A handful of counter protesters affiliated with AIPAC and the Jewish Defense League were very well protected by DC Police as they taunted the much larger contingent of peace marchers. The event was largely peaceful but some isolated scuffles broke out late in the day.

Kids supporting Pennies in Protest efforts. Our families discussed the WBC protests in a way that suited the age, cognitive development, and temperament of each child. We invited our older children to attend the VCU rally, if they wished. These two children also asked to attend the later Hermitage High School rally.
Since 2007, White Ribbon Alliance has been building support and visibility at Glastonbury Festival in the UK – the world’s biggest open air music festival, with 200,000 visitors and 2,000 journalists from 70 countries.
Our team of dedicated volunteers has pasted stick-on “heart mum” tattoos on the arms of festival goers while talking to them about how we keep girls and women safe in pregnancy and birth. We have “made a noise for mums” with a record breaking drum roll lead from the stage by pop stars Rudimental, Lily Allen and Shlomo. We have invited celebrities and to have their photos taken in WRA photoframes, shared widely on social media, raising awareness of our brand and our issues. Our Global Champion Sarah Brown has joined us at Glastonbury with supermodel supporter Naomi Campbell. And then in 2016 we stood in solidarity after the murder of our colleague Jo Cox, MP, who had been instrumental in the strategy to win international support for maternal and newborn health.
In 2017, the plan was to draw attention to WRA’s role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights by building on the growing momentum of the women’s rights marches around the world. We made an exhibition in our tent of the best and funniest of the placards – ranging from “Misters for the Sisters” to “Girls just want to have fun-damental human rights,” inviting festival goers to come in and make their own before joining us on the stage of the Park field in our own #RESIST rally.

It is important to realize that I will end up going back and reinforcing the lego frame to make sure that all the legos don't fall off when I have to flip this whole model upside down.

Fort Buchanan, PR - With an outstanding performance of the Antilles High School Choir directed by Mr. Rafael Sosa, the 1st Mission Support Command, US Army Reserve in Puerto Rico, starts the African American Black History Month Ceremony at Fort Buchanan Community Club on 27 Feb.
Lieutenant Col. Charmaine E. Betty – Singleton, Staff Judge Advocate for the US Garrison, Fort Buchanan Installation Legal Office was the guest speaker for the event. LTC Betty-Singleton is a native of Kingston, Jamaica. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and history, a Master’s degree in management and leadership and Jurist Doctorate.
In line with this year’s theme: “Civil Right in America”, LTC Betty-Singleton’s professional background and performance in the area of military law and justice clearly surpass the necessary credentials to recount the legacy of African American in the defense and strength of freedom we enjoy today as Americans.
Among the guests were Major General (Retired) Felix A. Santoni, Civilian Aid for the Secretary of the Army, Lic. Luis O. Berrios, US Army Reserve Ambassador, Brigadier General Jose R. Burgos, Commanding General 1st Mission Support Command, Colonel Caryn S. Heard, Commander for the US Garrison at Fort Buchanan, Command Sergeant Major Derrick Simpson, US Garrison Command Sergeant Major and Mr. Agustin Montanez, Veterans Affairs Representative for Puerto Rico.
This ceremony takes place every year on the month of February, and is set aside to celebrate African American Black History Month, a celebration that existed since 1926. To commemorate and celebrate the contributions to our nation made by people of African descent, American historian Carter G. Woodson established Black History Week. The first celebration occurred on Feb. 12, 1926. For many years, the second week of February was set aside for this celebration to coincide with the birthdays of abolitionist/editor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln. In 1976, as part of the nation's bicentennial, the week was expanded into Black History Month. Each year, U.S. presidents proclaim February as National African-American History Month.
These are the 8 gauge copper wires installed. These will support the reels and keep them off the bottom of the tank. The ends are filed flush with the outside of the tube. This is one of the photos from some film washing tanks. I finished the first one then began thinking about it and decided to try a second design. This one is with galvanize pipe instead of copper so that is cheaper, they are still over $25 to build though.

DOULAS by the BAY works with couples to identify what type of support they need. As postpartum doulas our first priority is to insure that the new mother is well rested and relaxed, and to assist her with breastfeeding and bonding with her baby. We bring nurturing and care to the new family, and try to lighten the load that new parents inevitably feel.
