I like how 911 is not classified as either. Neither side in the arguement on the techincal forum wins.

What is going on in that photo?

I was thinking, "it doesn't get much weirder than that."

This may be a joke of some sort, but I suspect that there are some odd folks somewhere wanking like mad to this photo or maybe a whole series of them.

Charlie White photographs vulnerability.

Using a humanoid puppet he calls “complete fragility manifest in a body,” White presents human frailty through a fictional character, much as a novelist might.

As White tells Jacki Lyden for Weekend All Things Considered, his puppet, called Joshua, helps him to explore the themes of male self-image and self-loathing. White places Joshua in a series of vulnerable situations — at a cocktail party or a lover’s house — and photographs the scene.

"One of the great articulated locomotives from the 20th Century. A truly great American accomplishment."

I tend to think of a "Mallet" locomotive as a Swiss or European accomplishment. Jules T. Anatole Mallet was a Swiss mechanical engineer; the first "Mallet arrangement" locomotive was used in France in 1876. The American copies came much later (1904?) and as has been mentioned, typically didn't utilize compounding (steam used at two different pressures).

MITCHELL — Soon, the SilverStream faucets that are sold in Mitchell will be made in Mitchell.

That announcement came this week after the city of Mitchell signed a lease with Quantum Machining Technologies of Bloomington to bring Quantum Machining Technologies and its sister company, SilverStream, to the city-owned former Dana Corp. building on West Frank Street. Both businesses, which are currently operating in Bloomington, will now be housed under one roof in Mitchell.

Quantum does medium and high volume machining. SilverStream makes its signature Dishmaster faucet. The businesses fall under the Showers Group umbrella.

One must be very careful around here

With respect to "great American accomplishment" was referring to the non-Mallet or non-compounded articulated (separate-trucks-not-hinged-in-the-middle) locomotives built by the likes of Baldwin et al. and as displayed with award at the California Railroad Museum in Cab Forward design. Pretty *****in nonetheless!!!

BTW - 3985 is the one I saw on Cajon - IIRC - it was pulling a bunch of vintage passenger cars but had to helped in the braking department by a 1950's era diesel electric.
