... I used to work at Martys DIY for Peggy and Arthur, selling beach balls to girls in bikinis in the summer ... she was something of a battleaxe ... the rumour was that the Post Office next door had been bought by the former Quarrymen member Pete Shotton for his mum or something ...
During World War II, armored cars were used successfully by all the major combatants of the war. The British relied on their own designs rather than Lend-Lease, mainly the Daimler Dingo and the Humber. The Dingo was the most popular, and were used everywhere by British and Commonwealth forces. In 1949, the British Army issued a requirement for a new armored car to replace the Dingo. Daimler's winning design was dubbed the FV701C Ferret.
The Ferret was essentially nothing more than an updated Dingo--it was slightly larger, wider and more comfortable for the crew, but retained many of the features of the wartime Dingo. This was the main reason why the British Army chose the Ferret: it was already familiar to crews, shared some commonality in parts, and was a proven design. The initial Ferret Mk. Is were unarmed except for the four man crew's personal weapons, but later marks featured a machine gun turret; in the 1970s, the last marks of the Ferret, the Mk 5, were adapted to carry antitank missiles.
The Ferret's popularity ensured a long life; of the nearly 4500 manufactured, about a quarter remain in service. The British Army and most Commonwealth militaries retired their Ferrets in the 1970s, but they are still quite common in the Middle East and Africa.
This Ferret is on display at Battlefield Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada; though it has been demilitarized (rare for vehicles at Battlefield Vegas), it is still driveable. Its origins are unknown; it is probably former British Army, but the camouflage is broadly similar to those worn by South African Ferrets.
Benicia Arsenal Camel Barns
Buildings 7 and 9 were built in 1853 and 1854 and cost $10,000 and $12,000.
The Engine House between them was completed in 1855, it is now used as an office for the Benicia Historical Society.
These finely crafted sandstone Buildings were originally constructed for use as Warehouses. They gained their name and fame, however, during a brief period in 1863-64 when they were to stable a herd of camels imported by the U.S. Army for transportation in the American desert.
The Benicia Arsenal was a large military reservation located next to Suisun Bay in Benicia, California. For over 100 years, the arsenal was the primary US Army Ordnance facility for the West Coast of the United States.
In 1847 a 252-acre parcel of land adjoining the Benicia city limits on the east was acquired for a military reserve. First occupation of the post was on April 9, 1849, when two companies of the 2nd Infantry Regiment set up camp to establish Benicia Barracks, which also housed the 3rd Artillery Regiment . In 1851, after the urging of General Percifer F. Smith, the first Ordnance Supply Depot in the West was established in Benicia. In 1852 it was designated Benicia Arsenal. Notable military personnel who were stationed there during this time include Ulysses Grant, Edward Ord, and Joseph Hooker, among others.
The grounds of the Benicia Arsenal are also famous for stabling the Army's one and only Camel Corps. The short-lived Camel Corps was disbanded in 1863, but the Camel Barns, built in 1855, remain and are now the Benicia Historical Museum.
The Benicia Arsenal was a staging area during the Civil War for Union troops from the West, and the installation remained a garrisoned post until 1898 when troops were assigned to duty in the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. During World War I, Benicia Arsenal gave ordnance support to all large Army installations in the Western States as well as supplying Ordnance material to American expeditionary forces in Siberia.
In the 24 hours following the Pearl Harbor bombing, 125 separate truck convoys were loaded and dispatched from the Benicia Arsenal, leaving its stock of ammunition, small arms and high explosives completely exhausted. Throughout the war, the arsenal supplied ports with weapons, artillery, parts, supplies and tools. In addition, the arsenal overhauled 14,343 pairs of binoculars, manufactured 180,000 small items for tanks and weapons and repaired approximately 70,000 watches. However, the arsenal is most famous for supplying munitions to Lieutenant Colonel Jimmy Doolittle for the first bombing raid on Tokyo on April 18, 1942, launched from the USS Hornet.
Prior to 1940, the arsenal employed 85 civilian employees; by October 1942, the payroll had reached 4,545. The labor shortage in 1944 forced the arsenal commander to put 250 Italian and 400 German prisoners of war to work, alongside 150 juveniles from the California Youth Authority. Women comprised nearly half the civilian employee force. During the Korean War, the number of civilians reached an all-time high of 6,700 workers..
Benicia Arsenal was deactivated in 1963 and the facility was closed in 1964. Its functions were transferred to Tooele Army Depot in Utah. The arsenal has been redeveloped as work and sales space for artists and artisans.
Using the glass table top as a cheap polarizer. Cheap, meaning I was too lazy to go to the other room and get a real polarizer.
Cellophane is a birefringent material, meaning that it alters the polarization of light passing through it. The alteration is wavelength dependent, so passing straight through one sheet might rotate linear polarized blue light by 90 degrees, but yellow by 45. Reflection off a glass surface is also polarization dependent, so light with polarization parallel to the surface is preferentially reflected. So, depending on the number of times and angle that the light passes through the cellophane sheet causes various colors to be polarized differently, and some preferentially reflected by the glass, causing the color pattern you see here.

Foi um dos top Beauty 3D que eu não lembro agora eheheh
O bom desse esmalte (e dessa coleção toda) é que eles duram muito, tava com preguiça e deixei ele por 5 dias, e estava em perfeito estado =)
Beijos!
I used to do a lot of rainy photography. I haven't done any in years, until now.
I just headed out with an umbrella and camera... and this is what resulted.
The table you see there is the same table used for the pumpkin and blackberry balanced-on-face photos.
There's more rainy photos, and larger versions, over on the blog.
I used my friend Janique's home made ring light and it worked wonderfully .. She made it out of a pie pan!!
Do you remember the cheesy commercials back in the day for cologne and deodarant? I swear I wanted to type "BYYYYYYE MENNEN" in the title too but I'm sure no one remembers that brand or the commercials they used to make ..
Anyway I hope you like this .. I have a version in color too that's a bit different but I vowed to post one a day ..
We Used:
Blue B6 Print Gocco
Gocco HiMesh B6 Screens
ATM card as squeegee
Black Permaset Aqua Textile Printing Ink
New Handkerchief
I printed more today. I used an old magazine as my printing surface and turned the page to print each new hanky! Kept things easy and quick and cleanish. (Keep in mind that's last night's screen that sat overnight and travelled home in the car. It's a bit messy but it worked beautifully the next day. The Permaset ink was MUCH better than the Gocco ink. A bit runnier, thus the prints were quicker to achieve - less squeegying!)
