"Dirty Harry" Contaminates St. George, Utah
On May 19, 1953, a 32-kiloton nuclear test, later dubbed "Dirty Harry," was fired at the Nevada Test Site. The fallout progressed between Alamo and Glendale, Nevada, as predicted. Roadblocks were in place along highways and inhabitants had been moved temporarily away from the fallout path. Surface winds from northern Arizona blew the airborne debris further north than expected. When radiation levels in St. George started to rise higher than anticipated, the sheriff was notified and advised to order the 4,500 residents to stay indoors for two hours. The radiation monitors stationed there helped direct the residents indoors

I wrote an article about the long term test. Please check here for German speakers: www.doreen.es/2009/07/04/test-der-grose-erfahrungsbericht...

I rented the Canon 85mm f/1.2 for the weekend from Penn Camera on E street. This is a lens I've always wanted even though I've never used it. I decided to do some quick shots of Sam on the (her) couch to test it out. I love the sliver of a DOF that's for sure, but boy this lens sure does weigh a lot and doesn't focus very fast compared to other "L" lenses. Overall I think I'm really going to like it and someday it will be mine. Oh yes.

I am testing to see if these blank images with no tags receive the same unusually high views as the other photos on my first page. Sorry for the minimalistic art work :)
Last Sunday I was bored and got this crazy idea. I mashed in some wheat malt, crystal malt and roasted barley. Then I mixed the wort with honey and water and boiled with Saaz hops (20 min + 1 min). I cooled it off and measured it SG1080. Then I pitched some drops of California lager yeast kept in the fridge from a previous brew. Dry hopped with some more Saaz a couple of days ago.
2 liters hopped mead fermenting, for a week now and still bubbling.

Watkins-Johnson (WJ) Adate 1500 system. Originally introduced in the early 1980's by WJ Palo Alto, the ADATE system was used to test Timex watches.
Elinchrom Skyport Universal test:
I placed 2 Canon flashes with 2 Elinchrom Skyport receivers in a house in front of mine and then made them fire from a distance of about 100/150m.
One was in the balcony, in direct sight, the other was inside the apartment, completely out of sight.
Remarkably also the flash positioned inside the apartment fired.
They work.
