A substitute photo

 I need to spend some time to edit some more Alaska photos. Instead, I'm giving you a photo of a cutting board I finished up yesterday. The lighter color wood is hard maple and the boarder is sapele (an African mahogany). The board is 14" x 20" x 1-7/8" and sits on raised feet. The new owner expects to pick it up today - assuming I can let loose of it!



Please pardon the clutter in the background.



I'll be back to nature photos tonight (hopefully).

Click on Read More to view the video. A view of my "office" at the university. It is a privilege to have an experiment like this to teach the real-world aspects of chemical engineering. I need an updated photo that does not show the construction mess! This is a 20 foot distillation column separating methanol and water. It is controlled using a state-of-the-art DCS (distributed control system) and industrial instruments and valves. The system is indoors and spans about 50 feet in height accessed using industrial grating. It is a world-class experiment where students start up the process, bring it to steady-state, and shut it down inside a 3 hour lab period. I do not touch the controls - it is all them (with a little coaching)!

Screeching Eagle

What a terrible preview crop.... Be sure to: Click on READ MORE for the full post. Click on the blog photo to see full size and detail.  If leaving a comment, please provide a hint who you are. As mentioned yesterday, the eagle at Ft. Abercrombie was making very loud calls. We wanted to get a little closer to the eagle so we hiked down the trail a bit. The vantage point was not quite as good but we we definitely closer. We had not disturbed the bird so he/she stayed there screaming at the world that this was his/her territory. Enjoy the close-up detail of an eagle! Thanks, Doug White
