I use the carrier as a test stand to hold rollers for running the locomotive in a stationary position. The hose on the stack is connected to a fan to provide a draft. In this testing session I set the popping pressure of the safety valves and ran the engine briefly on steam.
This was in Alkesh's fortune cookie at lunchtime. Ironically, the only reason we were in that restaurant was that we'd been late going to lunch because we were trying to get some tests to pass so we could check in the story we were working on for the Mano a Mano project in the Agile2007 RailsFest.

This is the surviving test road loop near Ottawa, Il. There were six loops at the test site when constructed in 1956-58. The loops were approximately one mile in distance. One leg concrete the other asphalt. This photo is looking West from the East end of the loop. I-80 is to the far right. The other five test loops were situated where I-80 runs today. This particular loop was used for testing the effects of weather on the pavement.
(NOTE: I took this shot with my digital camera mounted to the top of a 12 foot pole. I set the timer and positioned the camera with about 4 seconds to go. I also shot some video using this technique but, my aim was off and not as good as the stills.)
Diwali or not, I'm always working on stuff. Earlier when testing my app, I realized that the ambient light from my room was being disturbed by the lights setup around my neighbourhood. So I tried to mimic the same so as to create flares in my shot. And viola!
Test met line senor detector met 128 pixel array.
Detector gevoeligheids test op naaigaren van 0.1mm diameter. Tigger gaat iedermaal perfect af. Hier zie je dat er in de hoeken nog een beetje lichtval aanwezig is.
Achtergrond is een bruin karton op 40mm achter de gespannen draad.
Beeld frame is hier 25mm origineel 4:3 formaat van de EPL3 naar 1080 pixels vertikaal gebracht.

Gebruikte draad: Naaigaren dikte 0.10 mm kleur bruin.
Testen op zwart werken eveneens met dezelfde instelling.
Snelheid van beweging speelt geen rol ( opstelling op glijbaan).
Testing my new B+W Circular Polarizer Multi-Coated (MC) Filter. This is with the EF-S 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens, an exceptionally sharp lens with L-quality glass. The Polarized image on the right definitely exhibits better contrast and better colors.

I love this because it reminds me of a Japanese horror movie where the girl slowly cracks her neck then crawls out of the screen to grab you.
Also, I was really tired today and forgot to turn the ISO down after taking pics of the belly dancer who interrupted our yummy dinner tonight. So all my shots turned out way grainy. Oops.
Oh, and huzzah arm muscles! I love, love, love what yoga has done for my body :)

Poor me.
Godiva Chocolatier makes excellent chocolates but occasionally they sneak in a stale one; so before I could risk sending some as Christmas gifts, I had to buy a beautiful collector tin and taste some for my self. With three layers like the one shown in the picture, the test was grueling! I had to taste each and every one. This time they passed with flying colors* and I bought some more for gifts. Now I don't want to give them away.
*Sadly Godiva, along with every other American company I know of, has no grasp of what a chocolate truffle is really supposed to be. I haven't seen any of those three ounce missal nose cones from Hollywood in a long time; but there are still all manner of things on sale that are too large with shells that are too thick and fillings that don't melt properly. Godiva at least knows that they are supposed to be bite sized.
They do not know, however, that a real truffle filling is specially formulated to melt at body temperature. Real truffles are hand made on a chilled marble slab because of this low melting temperature. The outer shell, if any, is just barely thick enough to keep your fingers from melting it during the trip from the tray to your mouth. Truffles are frequently coated with cocoa powder which is slightly bitter to stimulate the production of saliva which enhances taste and speeds melting. This bitterness is very momentary because the truffle melts almost instantly in the mouth and the filling causes a chocolate wave to explode through the brain creating endorphins along the way. As the wave passes each neuron in the brain, the sensation is relayed to its corresponding part of the body.
What a rush!
The things Godiva sells as truffles are delicious but they don't come close to the Belgian variety. I recently learned that Godiva was selling a line of Legacy Truffles. I raced the store to purchase two of their circa 1946 original dark ones. They were the correct size, and had the hand made look with the cocoa powder coating. They resembled the fungal truffles for which the chocolate ones are named. They looked perfect. I popped one in my mouth and it was STALE! So was the other. I eventually decided that they weren't actually made in 1946, but I have eaten chocolate that I know was over a year old and it was fresher. Godiva is a fine chocolatier, but when it comes to truffles; they just don't get it.
Even so, I am looking forward to the next grueling taste test.
A famous test conducted by Albert Bandura where children were divided into different groups to watch a video of an adult exhibiting violent behavior of a bobo doll. there were different oputcomes of the video and the children who saw the adult actor get scolded for acting agressively toward the bobo doll were less likely to act agressively toward it when they were placed in a room filled with bobo dolls. this demonstrates that behavior and gratification can be learned and that peopole are going to be less likely to participate in something that has a negative outcome.

Testing my friend's newly bought D3100 with the kit lens. This is my first experience of using both camera and the lens. The camera body feels smaller than my D5100 and lighter, but it is not too much of difference.
My first experience with Nikkor 18-55mm kit lens is the auto focus is really quiet. Even though my 35mm prime share the same Silent Wave Motor, mine feels a little bit noisy when the focus rotates (I can hear screeching sound sometimes).
Sharpness comparatively speaking, of course my prime blows the kit lens out of the water and it has nice colour rendition as well. But if I zoom in with 18-55mm produced image, I can say it is still okay and sharp. Suffice to say, it's an okay lens for anyone who is starting out.
