I realized I never posted pics of the FR-S test drive I did back in June. It was held in the parking lot of the new Giants' Stadium. It was kind of a fun event, I suppose, except we only got one lap around the auto-cross course. I've been on roller coasters that lasted longer. Another thing is that the cars were riding on 225 wide tires and sitting on TRD springs and wheels. Still, they had one sitting out that we could sit in and get to know the interior, which I thought was decent for a tiny sports car. I can't wait to test drive one of these for real on a real road.
Glued up a fork, faced & reamed the HT, crown race seat, and ST, then flung a headset, seatpost, and saddle onto it and took it for a short brakeless ride up and down the street to see if it would explode.
Spoiler: it didn't.
It's got at least 75mm of BB drop, which is a lot for 650b. I might have to melt off the seatstays and use the 2×4 of gentle adjustment to bend the seatstays down 10mm, then make another fork with matching extra A-C, but I'll mull it over for a while first (the fork is a nice light one that's a close fit on a 42mm tire, so I may want to get a larger crown and pull some more side-to-side clearance for paranoia's sake nevertheless.)

The Postcard
A Comic Series novelty card published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth, Yorkshire. The artwork was by Fitzpatrick.
The card was posted in Scarborough on Sunday the 12th. August 1973 to:
Miss H. Fisher,
84, Huddersfield Road,
Skelmanthorpe,
Nr. Huddersfield,
Yorkshire.
The message on the other side of the card was as follows:
"We haven't had much sun
so far, so unlike you I won't
get as brown as a berry!
We went to see Lulu last
week at the Futurist - she is
really exciting.
Hope you are enjoying your
holiday, the time's flying isn't
it?
We have spent a lot of time
in Peasholm Park and the
amusements.
We got chased by a rabbit
last week.
That sounds funny doesn't it?
Actually it was a fella dressed
up.
Love from Celia".
The Futurist Theatre
The Futurist Theatre was a theatre and cinema located on Foreshore Road in Scarborough. It closed its doors on the 6th. January 2014 after the operators' lease expired.
The Futurist was built as a cinema in 1921. It remained in this role until 1958 when the stage was extended to allow live performances at the venue which included The Black and White Minstrel Show, the Beatles, Morecambe & Wise, Shirley Bassey, Ken Dodd and the Bachelors. (And of course, Lulu!)
The Futurist had the twelfth largest seating capacity (2,155) for a theatre in the country, and the fifth largest capacity outside London.
The Futurist has the misfortune of being located in an area earmarked for redevelopment, therefore its future looks far from promising.
Richard Reid - The Shoe Bomber
So what else happened on the day that Celia posted the card?
Well, the 12th. August 1973 marked the birth of Richard Colvin Reid, also known as the 'Shoe Bomber'.
He is a British terrorist who attempted to detonate a shoe bomb while on American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami in 2001.
Born to a father who was a career criminal, Reid converted to Islam as a young man in prison after years as a petty criminal. Later he became radicalised and went to Pakistan and Afghanistan, where he trained and became a member of al-Qaeda.
On the 22nd. December 2001, he boarded American Airlines Flight 63 between Paris and Miami, wearing shoes packed with explosives, which he unsuccessfully tried to detonate. Passengers subdued him on the plane, which landed at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, the closest US airport.
He was arrested, charged, and indicted. In 2002, Reid pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court to eight criminal counts of terrorism, based on his attempt to destroy a commercial aircraft in flight. He was sentenced to three life terms plus 110 years in prison without parole, and was transferred to ADX Florence, a super maximum security prison in Colorado, United States.
Richard Reid - Background
Reid was born in Bromley to Lesley Hughes, who was of native English descent, and Colvin Robin Reid, a man of mixed race whose father was a Jamaican immigrant. When Reid was born, his father, a career criminal, was in prison for stealing a car.
Reid attended Thomas Tallis School in Kidbrooke, leaving at 16 and becoming a graffiti writer who was in and out of detention. He accumulated more than 10 convictions for crimes against persons and property. He served sentences at Feltham Young Offenders Institution and at Maidstone Prison.
The next time Reid was imprisoned, in 1992 for three years, for various street robberies, he converted to Islam.
The Islamic Radicalisation of Richard Reid
Upon his release from prison in 1995, he joined the Brixton Mosque. He later began attending the Finsbury Park Mosque in North London, headed at that time by the anti-American cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, who was described as 'The heart of the extremist Islamic culture' in Great Britain.
By 1998 Reid was voicing extremist views. At the Finsbury Park Mosque he fell under the sway of 'terrorist talent spotters and handlers' allied with al-Qaeda, including Djamal Beghal, one of the leaders of the foiled plan for a 2001 suicide bombing of the American Embassy in Paris.
Reid spent 1999 and 2000 in Pakistan, and trained at a terrorist camp in Afghanistan.
The Attempted Bombing
Reid and Saajid Badat, another British man preparing to be a terrorist, returned to Pakistan in November 2001, and travelled overland to Afghanistan.
They were both given 'shoe bombs', casual footwear adapted to be covertly smuggled onto aircraft before being used to destroy them. Later forensic analysis of both bombs showed that they contained the same plastic explosive, and that the detonator cords had come from the same batch: the cut mark on Badat's cord exactly matched that on Reid's.
On the 21st. December 2001, Reid attempted to board a flight from Paris to Miami, Florida. His boarding was delayed because his dishevelled physical appearance had aroused the suspicions of the airline passenger screeners.
In addition, Reid did not answer all of their questions, and had not checked in any luggage for the transatlantic flight.
Additional screening by the French National Police resulted in Reid being re-issued a ticket for a flight on the following day. He returned to the Paris airport on the 22nd. December 2001, and boarded American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami, wearing his special shoes packed with plastic explosives in their hollowed-out bottoms.
During the flight, a passenger on Flight 63 complained of the smell of smoke in the cabin shortly after a meal service.
One flight attendant, Hermis Moutardier, thinking she smelled a burnt match, walked along the aisles of the plane, trying to assess the source. A passenger pointed to Reid, who was sitting alone near a window and attempting to light a match. Moutardier warned him that smoking was not allowed on the airplane. Reid promised to stop.
The Actions of Other Passengers on the Flight
A few minutes later, Moutardier found Reid leaned over in his seat. After she asked him what he was doing, Reid grabbed at her, revealing one shoe in his lap, a fuse leading into the shoe, and a lit match. Several passengers worked together to subdue the 6 foot 4 inch (193 cm) tall Reid weighting more than 200 pounds (over 90 kg).
They restrained him using plastic handcuffs, seatbelt extensions, leather waist belts and headphone cords. A doctor on board administered a tranquilliser which was found in the emergency medical kit of the airliner. The flight was immediately diverted to Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, the closest US airport.
The explosive apparently did not detonate due to the delay in the take-off of Reid's flight. The rainy weather, perhaps along with Reid's foot perspiration, caused the fuse to be too damp to ignite.
Legal Proceedings and Sentencing
Reid was arrested at Logan International Airport after the incident. Two days later, he was charged before a federal court in Boston with 'Interfering with the performance of duties of flight crew members by assault or intimidation', a crime which carries a penalty of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Additional charges were added when he was formally indicted by a grand jury.
The judge ordered Reid to be held in jail without bail, pending trial due to the gravity of the crimes and the perceived high risk that he would try to flee. Officials at the time indicated that Reid's shoes contained 10 ounces (283 g) of explosive material characteristic of C-4, enough to blow a hole in the fuselage and cause the plane to crash.
During a preliminary hearing on the 28th. December, an FBI agent testified that forensic analysis had identified the chemicals as PETN, the primary explosive, and TATP (triacetone triperoxide), a chemical needed to detonate the bomb with a fuse and match.
The Charges
Reid was charged with nine criminal counts related to terrorism, namely:
- Attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction,
- Attempted homicide,
- Placing or transporting an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft or public mass transportation vehicle,
- 2 counts of interference with flight crew members and attendants on an aircraft
- Attempted destruction of an aircraft or public mass transportation vehicle
- Using a destructive device during and in relation to a crime of violence, and
- Attempted destruction of an aircraft
- Attempted wrecking of a mass transportation vehicle.
The ninth charge, attempted wrecking of a mass transportation vehicle, was dismissed on the 11th. June 2002, because the Congressional definition of 'vehicle' did not include aircraft.
The Guilty Plea
Reid pleaded guilty to the remaining eight counts on the 4th. October 2002. On the 31st. January 2003, he was sentenced by Judge William Young to the maximum of three consecutive life sentences and 110 years with no possibility of parole. Reid was also fined the maximum of $250,000 on each count, a total of $2 million.
A Comment From the Judge
During the sentencing hearing, Reid said he was an enemy of the United States, and in league with al-Qaeda. When Reid said he was a Soldier of God under the command of Osama bin Laden, Judge Young responded:
"You are not an enemy combatant,
you are a terrorist. You are not a
soldier in any army, you are a terrorist.
To call you a soldier gives you far too
much stature. (Points to U.S. flag).
You see that flag, Mr Reid? That is the
flag of the United States of America.
That flag will be here long after you
are forgotten".
Changes in Airline Security Procedures
As a result of these events, airlines started to require passengers to pass through airport security in socks or bare feet while their shoes are scanned for bombs.
Scanners cannot find PETN in shoes or strapped to a person. A chemical test is needed. However, X-rays are an effective way to see if the shoe has been altered to hold a bomb.

Today I made some testshots with my new selfmade Pinhole camera, the PinOli 4X5. Just to test that it is working and has no light leaks and to test some exposuretimes.
I used 135 film attached to the cassettes with sticky tape to test it.

Here's a teaser for next week's iPhone 6 and 6 Plus review in the Sun-Times.
I took the two new iPhones, plus an Olympus E-M1, plus four other phones, out to shoot a series of test photos. With each phone, I just composed the photo and clicked the shutter. With the E-M1 -- figuring that people don't buy a nice camera and just leave it on automatic -- I might have made a quick adjustment or two. Nothing that would have taken me more than a few seconds.
Each is a JPEG straight from the camera. I've scaled them down to 1024x768, both to make an easily-viewable lightbox and to equalize the viewing experience. I've also included a zoomed-in view of each image, to give you a sense of the original JPEGs' clarity and detail.
So you can look at these without prejudices. Which are your favorites? I'll post the "answers" next week.
