"Botanical Absynth" / "Green Tea Liquer" - More like a cheap yellow Chartreuse (http://www.eatdrinktell.net/?p=282) knock-off. It tasts ok. Smells nice. You can tell it's fortified with firewater and for almost $30/750ml and at only 25% I'd rather spend the money on Chartreuse. That stuff is what, 80-90 proof anyway? Good way to get your money's worth and on something that's actually special. At the same time these suspended balls and the image in the bottle and whatnot make for a very cool decoration. This is one I'd definitely consider keeping around just for looks. It's totally sweet. (pun intended)

SD TEMPEST : IMO 9803637
Details from Serco Press Release
SD Tempest is the 31st vessel to be built for Serco by Damen Shipyards. She sailed into her home port of Portsmouth for the first time on 22nd February 2017. Since then, she has since completed a series of operational trials, completed crew familiarisation and is now completely ready to support the Queen Elizabeth Class carriers.
SD Tempest is a Damen ART 80-32 tug with a bollard pull of 80 tons and is the most powerful tug in Serco’s fleet. She has a crew of four, is 31.95m long, has a beam of 12.6m and a gross tonnage of 495 GT.
She is the first tug in the UK that features the RotorTug® propulsion system consisting of three azimuthing thrusters, which provide omni-directional manoeuvrability, designed by Robert Allen in Canada, making her one of the most manoeuvrable and capable tugs in the UK. They also have controllable pitch propellers installed instead of the usual fixed pitch propellers found on other vessels in her class.
Serco also specified a number of modifications to enable her to support the new aircraft carriers, including a double drum render/recovery aft winch for redundancy and a foldable mast for safe working under the flight deck overhang. Like previous tugs, SD Tempest is fitted with grey fendering to match the colour of RN vessels and prevent marking the hulls.
El Pontiac Tempest fué diseñado como respuesta a los coches importados, sobre todo el Volkswagen, que a finales de los 50 pasó en ventas a Pontiac. Es mayor que el Escarabajo y que la respuesta de la Chevrolet al Escarbajo, el Corvair (el Porsche americano), y tenía un diseño más convencional. No contaba con el motor trasero como los dos coches anteriormente mencionados pero sí con la suspensión independiente y la transmisión en el eje trasero del Corvair, lo que lo convertía en uno de los pocos coches no de competición con motor delantero en contar con la transmisión en el eje trasero. Ofrecía dos motores un cuatro cilindros y un V8 de baja cilindrada y bloque de aluminio de origen Buick. Este V8 fué posteriormente vendido por la GM por resultar más caro de producir que los enormes V8 que se pusieron de moda en los 60. Su comprador fué Rover. Sí, el V8 que usaron todos los Rover (incluyendo los modelos Land Rover y Range Rover) hasta su substitución por motores BMW era ese V8 Buick. El cuatro lo tuvo que desarrollar Pontiac y, por motivos de presupuesto, John DeLorean (quién luego fundara su propia compañía para producir el coche de la peli Regreso al Futuro) decidió utilizar el V8 de Pontiac cercenando un banco de cilindros. Como los V8 americanos son a 90º, el cuatro quedó inclinado a 45º. Tan solo duró un par de años la producción de este Pontiac pequeño siendo sustituido por otro Tempest mediano, para los 60 americanos, del que saldría la saga de los Le Mans y GTO.
Hawker Tempest Mk.II at RAF Museum Hendon. Developed from the Typhoon and entering service in early 1944, the Tempest excelled as a low level interceptor and ground attack aircraft in the European theatre. It was the fastest allied piston engine powered type of the war below 20,000 ft and was one of only a handful of types able to intercept V1 flying bombs. The MkII was powered by the Bristol Centaurus radial engine, whereas the more common MkV was fitted with the Napier Sabre 24 cylinder liquid cooled power plant.
This is a composite airframe based on PR536 which makes up the forward fuselage. The remainder is made up from two other Tempests.
The design philosophy for the later Sea Fury was "a light Tempest fighter" and the similarity between the types is obvious.
This spider likes the classic arcade games!

We went out for a photoshoot today and just happened to come across this forest section of a rally near Liphook. It started raining the minute I started photgraphing and stopped as soon as I stopped photographing.

This lovely doll was a head on the wrong body with no hair. She's got a new 'canadian standard' straight leg body and a new hair do in Tempest red. Also touched up her eyelashes and eyebrows.

“Tempest Turner,” an 18th Bomb Squadron B-17, was named for movie actress Lana Turner. The pilot of the aircraft painted this B-15 jacket at war’s end with the emblem of the 34th Bomb Group and counters to indicate 19 bombing missions. The “grocery sacks” show six missions making food drops for Dutch food relief as part of Operation Chow Hound. The ball and chain represent a gratifying flight on 11 May 1945 to fly French slave laborers from Austria to Paris. The former prisoners didn’t realize they had been liberated until they saw the Eiffel Tower.
