We shadowed our friends at the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance en route to a mission in Kandahar. The team deployed to Afghanistan from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and will be supporting engineering and infrastructure projects in Afghanistan for the next nine months. The men and women serving in the 553rd Forward Engineer Support Team – Advance are rare. There are only eight teams like them in the world; each comprised of one officer-in-charge, one non-commissioned officer and six highly-skilled U.S. Army Corps of Engineers civilian technical experts. From design, construction management, contracting, geospatial support and more, the teams quickly produce relevant engineering products and services worldwide.
I have a whole collection of Lego Technic models. Yesterday I decided to get them out again and put one together. I chose this plane and it took me about twenty minutes to finish it.

Note: This is not a building unit as it might seem to be today. The Gewerbehaus and the Porrhaus in the background originally were solitary buildings built in 1931 at the corner of Operngasse and Treitlstraße soon after the old Freihaus complex was torn down and Operngasse was extended way into the 4th district.
The small shops to the front, meant to be only temporary, actually survived well into the 1970s. It was only in 1987 when the new building of the Technical University (“Freihaus TU”) was fully completed. Gewerbehaus and Porrhaus are used as institutes for the TU now.
Charlotte is a vintage Living Fluff # 1143 (1971-72) wearing the vintage All Prettied Up # 1949 (1967).
Charlotte is...
...an Aries, born on March 30th.
...nicknamed Buddy because when she was very little she heard an adult call one of her friends buddy, and from that moment on she began calling everyone Buddy.
...smitten with Bella and calls her Aunt Bella, even if they are not technically related. She is actually the only youngster who calls Bella “Aunt Bella” the others all simply call her Bella.
...perhaps the happiest child in the world. She is always giggling and having fun.
...very attached to an interior design book that she treasures and studies daily. No one is certain where she got this book, and when asked what she wants to be when she grows up, Charlotte always replies that she wants to be an interior decorator.
...a very imaginative child, in fact she has an imaginary friend named ‘Sissy of the Sea’.
...a resident of the suburbs of New Amsterdam.
I'm not about to replace my SL-1700 with this thing, but for a mid-range turntable it's pretty nice. And, it's the first fully automatic Technics I found for my collection. Even though the dust cover is busted and it didn't come with a headshell, it's not a bad deal for a sawbuck. It has a plastic plinth but it's thick and solid and the platter is as heavy-duty as you would expect to find on higher end turntables.
Even though this turntable is fully functional and sounds great it does need some cleaning, minor adjustments and repair. There's some strange grounding issue; when I touch the tonearm or even the finger grip on the headshell, it'll produce a hum. And of course the pitch adjustment and a few other parts could use a few squirts of electrical contact cleaner.
Having never shot this combination before, I figured I should use my final roll of Technical Pan in my collection with some Technidol I had laying around. Well the film is hard expired, but man, amazing results all the same!

I was given three rolls of 35mm Kodak Technical Pan (expired 2002). I hunted around for a development scheme and finally settled on this. Mostly because I had Rodinal. I'm only posting in case some of you still have some in the fridge.
16 EI
Rodinal 1+150 for thirteen minutes
Agitate with 30 seconds initial inversions, then 3 inversions at 10 minutes,7 minutes,4 minutes, and 1minute counting down. (every 3 minutes)
Regular stop, fix and hypo.
I used 5ml of Rodinal in 750ml of H2O. That gives less than the recommended 10ml of Rodinal but the negatives really look great (full tone scale).
I had to figure out a curve profile as I felt (and still do) that the midtones were not right. Technical Pan is also a dust magnet; lots of healing tool. Even with Rodinal there is virtually no grain.

Here's one that I built in Bricksmith some time back, but just recently got all the right parts to build it for real. It uses a simple leg mechanism that was mostly just an excuse to use those cool bent liftarms in old brown. And, of course, some cheese slopes.

This unit was purchased from Ebay. The description was "good condition, tested, works".
Yeah, right.
There was a very loud hum coming from both channels.
Lego Unimog 8110; I added a pneumatic cylinder to raise the loading bed. It is also driven by the motorized pump of the Unimog. It is working pretty good. The angle could be better, so there is still room for improvement. ;o)
The IAEA launched its online platform, CONNECT, in conjunction with an interregional training workshop from 28 to 31 October 2014.
CONNECT is an easy-to-use online environment that brings together existing and planned professional and expert networks from IAEA Member States, with the aim of facilitating collaboration and sharing of information and experience from across the nuclear field. The CONNECT platform is an example of the successful cooperation between the IAEA and the European Commission and their joint efforts with Member States to pursue a common goal.

360° turntable 3D model of a volumetric concrete mixer, also known as a metered concrete truck. These vehicles carry cement, water, and aggregate separately to the job site and mix it on location. This removes the time and range limitations of traditional “ready-mix” concrete trucks.

This rubber piece had basically welded itself to the plastic shaft. I had to take a fine screwdriver and scrape it off.
