BAE's ADAPTIV technology renders vehicles invisible to infrared

Infrared imaging is used for a range of military applications - such as target acquisition, night vision, homing and tracking - which means that any vehicle with some kind of infrared “invisibility cloak” would hold significant advantages on the battlefield. BAE Systems has tested just such a technology that not only allows vehicles to blend into their surroundings, but can also let it mimic other vehicles or natural objects...

Take Advantage of the Long Weekend


Sunday Afternoon at the Williams

We really did want to go over earlier, but the combination of us being sick, the Williams being sick, a trip to Hong Kong, moving and the them coming out and visiting us, it has been a long while since we went to White Rock for a visit. We finally got a chance to remedy the situation.

Having a back yard of your own can be pretty fantastic. In a public park you need to be aware of the people around you - is your daughter going to run in front of a bike or push over a smaller child. In your own backyard (or a borrowed family back yard) you have fewer of these concerns. Of course playing with someone elses toys is great too!

It's been quite a while since we have visited James. He has grown up a lot since I last saw him!

(Great)Grandparents Visit


Wood Splitting ToolsVisiting people and staying overnight is quite a big ask - with a child, we have quite a bit of stuff (we are getting better) and we need to follow a schedual or the kid misses naps and everybody pays for it. My grandparents are getting on in years (roughly 90) so we were a bit worried about staying over.

Short answer - we shouldn't have been so worried. People adapt to having kids around and the joy of seeing a great grand child smooths over the minor inconviences.

My aunt Jenny was kind enough to organize a picnic so all of the family came to use for a visit. Nara did well with so many "kind of new" people.

Nara And Helen At Comox Breakwater There is lots to do in the Courtenay/Comox area. We decided to go for a walk on the breakwater because I remember a near by playground (Marina Park) was quite good. The boardwalk was good for a run around.

Nara With Helen Walking On BeachWe also visited Kai Beach. We live fairly close to kits beach but we don't go very often. Kai beach was a little cool (we have had a cool summer) but still lots of fun to walk around a dig up shells.

For younger children, having a set of keys will often attract their attention and help make a good photo. Nara now seems mostly past that. The new trick is the "I'm going to get you!" game. A parent can do that off camera and Nara will focus on the parent and what is going on around her. It worked out well.
