Some evening photos of fountain near Rudder building @ College Station

These are photos of fountain near Rudder building at College Station. It's really beautiful! I hope, you can feel at last part of it through this photos. They were made at May 18 and are shared only now.

My photos of Plaza Hotel demolition

On May 24 I woke up earlier to see Plaza Hotel building demolition. I made a lot of photos, waiting for the Event, but publishing only few of them: they are similar like twins. Typing Plaza Demolition at YouTube, you can get a lot of videos, including the official one, but this is my mite.

Trip to conference to San Antonio

Hello everyone!

On May 28, Monday, a group from Cyclotron and Physics Faculty and myself had an excited trip to the conference to San Antonio. Starting from College Station at 8 AM we were at San Antonio about 13 PM. I got short self-excursion during free time between presentations. River Walk, The Alamo ("Mother of Texas Independence"), Tower of the Americas (I have to start my way back, so, I was not inside, sorry, next time)... Excellent!

Battle of Stalingrad. Another good video from YouTube

Watch here: http://youtu.be/T1AC4wm6SwM

Of course, this is not a fantastic video, like previously shared one, but this is just a good video about Battle of Stalingrad. This video has strong and detailed pre-battle description, overview of out-Stalingrad operations (Operation Kotloban, as they call it in this video), which is not so often to hear or view. And, no doubts, this video is close enouph to the reality.

Fantastic quality history show/video!

Today I find at YouTube new video, named Word War 2 Battles. Operation Bagration. I thought, this is usual video, like "Russian Red Army loses 3--5 their men per German one... Blah-Blah-Blah..." But this ( http://youtu.be/HuV_wUHRv9s ) video is, I think, the best video about Operation Bagration, I ever saw! Enough detailed and enough generalised. With context explained. With near-real losses overview.
Fantastic!

BBQ and Sailing Attempt @ 2012-03-31

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.
The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated
(Mark Twain)

Hello!

Someone say, that I was alive 1.5 months ago... I hope, by this post I show You, that I was alive at last 2 weeks later. :)

Everything was amazing... Except the mast and sailyard. Shortly after the first attempt to set the main sail, boat switched to paddles-only engine. Later we had about 2--3 hours to dry our clothes.
And sorry for the late publication!
