Just a few weeks ago we arrived back from the Photonics West 2014 exhibition and conference in San Francisco, CA. I wanted to share details and further observations on the show for those present at the show and those not being able to attend this year.
For the first time we made the decision to also attend the BiOS exhibition for the few days prior to PWest. Not being quite sure what to expect for booth traffic, especially since it conflicted with the superbowl, we still generated a good amount of interest for the smaller show. Our main presentations focused on our new adaptive optics-enhanced scanning laser ophthamoscope (AOSLO), the Apaeros Retinal Imaging System, which includes our Multi-DM, and the Superpenetration Multiphoton Microscopy technique, which is enabled by our Kilo-SLM and high speed S-Driver. Although both exhibits generated respectable notice and positive feedback, most people were familiar with the Superpentration Multiphoton work being done. Either wanting to try two-photon microscopy themselves or already in the process of doing so, our Kilo-SLM paired with our high speed S-driver presented data that was intriguing to most.
After wrapping up BiOS, we headed to the opposite side of the South hall at the Moscone Center for a larger booth setup for PWest. Here we had our entire mirror family on display, as well as live demonstrations of the Reflective Optical Chopper and Wavefront Sensorless Adaptive Optics Demonstrator for Beam Shaping (WSAOD-B). For this part of the exhibition, I would say our deformable mirrors produced the most attention, most likely due to our wide assortment of shapes and actuator counts up to 4092. The WSAOD-B live demonstration did generate a great deal of attention, as most people are unaware of how sensorless AO works. Besides our deformable mirror line, I would still say the Multiphoton Microscopy overview was initiating even further interest here as well.
Overall BMC had a great show and it seemed well worth it to expand our exhibit onto BiOS beforehand. Although this was my first time attending the show, I noticed every inch of space at PWest being used for exhibitor tables and booths, even setting up in front of the bathrooms! I hope to see PWest advance even larger, maybe one day expanding to its third space, West Hall. I look forward to next year's show and hope to reconnect with you all again throughout the year.

Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a great holiday and is staying warm.
To continue addressing our FAQ's, another recurring question BMC recieves is on the flatness of our deformable mirrors. The figure below shows an unpowered BMC DM and a flattened BMC DM.
The surface figure of our unpowered deformable mirrors has a low-order surface bow. The amount of stroke needed to flatten the DM is between .5 µm and 1 µm, depending on the model. We can guarantee that the stroke needed to flatten the deformable mirror will not exceed this amount and tends to be lower for the lower stroke devices.
However, researchers in the past have been able to achieve flattening the wavefront without using up any stroke on the DM. If you are able to include additional optics into your setup, the low order bow can be taken out with static optics. Just something to keep in mind as you are designing your system and trying to determine how much stroke is required to achieve your wavefront correction needs.
If you have any additional questions in regards to the flatness of our mirrors or are interested in seeing what the typical unpowered surface figure is, please contact us at email@example.com or visit us online at www.bostonmicromachines.com
One question that tends to be asked quite often is the reflectivity our deformable mirrors can achieve. This depends on a couple of factors such as mirror coating, protective window AR coating and the wavelength of the light.
We offer gold, aluminum and protected silver coating on almost all of our deformable mirrors. When selecting a coating, you should pay particular attention to the wavelength(s) of light you use. The BMC DM Coating Reflectivity chart to the right illustrates the reflectivity of each of our standard coatings.
Our standard windows with AR coating are BK-7. We offer a few options, depending on which size mirror you select. For our smaller DMs, we offer the standard coatings from Thorlabs as well as a few more versatile options. You may choose either uncoated, 350-700nm, 650-1050nm or 1050-1620nm. We also offer a 400-1100nm window and 550-2400nm, the latter for an additional cost. For our larger DMs, various coating options are available. We do offer customizable options for an extra fee, so please contact us with your specifications if you require this.
The N-BK7 Broadband Antireflection Coatings chart from Thorlabs below depicts the percentage of light lost for each AR coated window. Similar curves are available for our other coatings.
If you are looking for additional information on our standard windows, please visit our friends at Thorlabs online. If you have any further questions on the reflectivity of our mirrors, click here to send us an e-mail or visit us online at www.bostonmicromachines.com
It has been quite some time since our last blog post due to a great deal going on at BMC! Alongside some new product releases, we recently made a few adjustments and updates to our ophthalmic imaging instrument, the Adaptive Optics Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (AOSLO) which we are releasing early next year.
This next-generation instrument allows in vivo retinal imaging on a cellular level and is currently undergoing beta testing at the Beetham Eye Institute at Joslin Diabetes Center, led by Dr. Jennifer Sun and her team. There it is being used to directly quantify features such as cone density, microaneurysm size and measure blood flow through the microvasculature in the retina. By pairing a Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (SLO) with advanced Adaptive Optics, it offers the advantage of imaging the retina at a resolution 2-3 times that of a standard SLO.
The AOSLO is also capable of measuring various properties of retinal cone physiology. Due to its enhanced imaging and software, it enables evaluation of the following attributes:
The AOSLO's ability to measure such features allows early stage detection of visual decline due to diabetes. This can be identified by the decrease in cone regularity, cone mosaic changes, cone reflectance and a decrease regularity of cone spacing. This function of the AOSLO can help determine early treatment plans for patients and generate further investigative studies.
When testing out the AOSLO at Joslin, we found something very interesting out about our CEO, Paul Bierden. The pictures below depict his own retina, discovering that he has a microaneurysm! This was unexpected news, since normally it would be undetectable by any other retinal imaging systems. 30% of the microaneurysms imaged using the AOSLO at Joslin were not visible in fundus photos. The AOSLO is able to accomplish this by evaluating the vascular and neural retinal planes in vivo with cell-scale resolution. The pictures below also point out the microaneurysm attributes that can be measured. They are:
Lastly, the AOSLO is able to measure small-vessel blood flow. This is done with the help of its enhanced imaging qualities, instrument optimization and post-processing software. By stopping a horizontal scan over a blood vessel, it can measure the blood velocity by tracking the moving erythrocytes over a scanning line. With this information, researchers can produce a blood velocity profile for retinal vessels. See the video below to see how it's done!
If you have any interest in using the AOSLO, let us know! Please give us a call and let us know about your research. We are accepting orders for the new instrument and are open to collaborative grant applications to secure funding. If you are interested in seeing the AOSLO in action, we are setting up appointments now for the next few months. We hope to hear from you soon!
It's been a few weeks since we returned from the Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics 2013 and now that we're settled back in to the daily routine, I thought I would give some highlights on the show. I was happy to be joined this time by our new Marketing and Communications Specialist, Angelica Perrone, who did a great job navigating the complex photonics market for the first time.
While the conference seems to be chugging along at a nice pace, the tradeshow has most definitely become a smaller venue. We were once again hosted by our strategic partner, Thorlabs (thanks, again guys!) and being in such a central location on the floor, we were able to get a good flavor for the pace of the show. Here are my thoughts:
Little, different, yellow, better
Anybody get that Nuprin reference? Anybody? See what I 'm talking about here.
Okay, so it's not yellow (although yellow lasers are cool), but the show is definitely getting smaller. I mentioned to a colleague that since the show is in San Jose for the second year in the row, it seemed like the barriers on either end of the tradeshow floor had moved in just a bit.
As far as different, the show is not like other photonics shows in that it is pretty focused in its applications. While there were some interesting talks on microscopy, this was a small portion of the material, with most others focussing on more laser-centric applications, as the title of the conference implies.
As far as better, I would say that for BMC, it was most definitely better for our new products: The Reflective Optical Chopper(ROC) and the Linear Array DM. We recieved more interest in these products over our legacy deformable mirror technologies. This is exciting for me as a product marketer and salesperson and even moreso as a member of a company that is always looking for new avenues for our technology. We see the ROC being useful for users who span from pure laser scientists to imaging engineers interested in chopping a beam at high speed with either a constant or variable duty cycle. The linear array has already proven useful in pulse shaping applications as described in our whitepaper, which is available for download here. Both products are available for purchase now.
Our Wavefront Sensorless Adaptive Optics Demonstrator for Beam Shaping (WSAOD-B)also generated some buzz. More and more applications which require wavefront correction are surfacing and need a solution without a wavefront sensor.
In all, it was a good show that has given me and my team work to do as we explore more exotic applications for our technology. I look forward to joining the show again next year and I hope to connect with all of you again in the near future!

As Boston Micromachines' newest member, I would first and foremost like to introduce myself. My name is Angelica and I have joined the BMC team as their Marketing and Communications Associate. It has been some time now since our last blog and I thought it would be appropriate to discuss our most recent product; The Reflective Optical Chopper, or ROC.
Optical Choppers, being frequently used for signal recovery in improving signal-to-noise ratio, are used to convert a continuous laser beam into a chopped one. Traditional Optical Choppers offer various pains, such as the need to alter the beam size to fit through wheel spokes, challenging stability at low speeds, the need for costly lock-in amplifier equipment and complex calibration procedures. The innovative, low-cost ROC simply eliminates all of these, outperforming traditional optical choppers.
Drive electronics are paired with BMC's MEMS Optical Modulator technology to create the ROC. The ROC provides beam chopping at impressive speeds without beam size modification. With a frequency range of DC to 150 kHz with better than 40 µs response time, control increments of .01 Hz and a contrast ratio exceeding 90% up to 100 kHz, the value of the ROC 'speaks' for itself. For signal-to-noise ratio improvement, the drive signal can be used as the sync signal, allowing it to be painlessly synchronized.
Many industrial, scientific, medical, aerospace and military applications call for the need of reliable and advanced equipment. The ROC has superior capabilities such as high speed, large frequency range, reliability, stability and usefulness in SNR improvement applications. Basically, the Reflective Optical Chopper is an advance in optical chopping technology which is available at a low price.

In our last blog post (Fast and Precise Laser Pulse Compression with the Linear Array DM) we discussed research being done in the Cui Lab at HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus that used our Linear Array DM for laser pulse compression. In part two we examine a two photon fluorescence microscopy project led by associate Reto Fiolka at Janelia Farm that illustrates the use of the Linear Array's potential as a pulse compressor for imaging applications using the phase resolved interferometric spectral modulation (PRISM) optimization technique.
Janelia Farm's results show a dramatic increase in fluorescence signal for the optimized spectral phase (see figures b and d). The signal strength was increased by a factor of ~6.5
According to Fiolka, "The tested device represents a promising alternative to liquid crystal displays, since the MEMS technology enables high filling factor, high efficiency and operation speed, exceptional phase stability and accuracy and can be used over a very broad wavelength spectrum."
We're very excited about these results and we are currently working with other groups interested in reproducing these results on tissue samples. Thanks again to Dr. Fiolka and the Janelia Farm group for their efforts in improving two photon imaging techniques!!
More details can be found in our Linear Array white paper which includes an application overview of this exciting project. You can also link to the research directly using the links to the Cui Lab and the scientific publication above.
Ultrafast lasers have been extensively used in ground breaking research including two Nobel Prizes. Applications within spectroscopy, photochemistry, laser processing and microscopy are widespread. However, to capitalize on such short laser pulses, a pulse compressor is required to compensate for the dispersion induced by optical elements. Liquid crystal based spatial light modulators are most commonly used in laser pulse compressors. Although a proven technology in display applications, liquid crystals have drawbacks including phase jitter and a limited fill factor. Researchers at the Cui Lab at HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus looked to Boston Micromachines Corporation's prototype Linear Array Deformable Mirror (DM) to address these challenges.
To evaluate the performance of the pulse compressor, the laser pulses were analyzed with frequency resolved optical gating (FROG) using a commercial instrument (Grenouille, Swamp Optics, Atlanta, GA). In Figure a and b, the temporal and spectral profile of the pulse is shown when a flat wavefront is displayed on the DM. Evidently, the pulse is distorted and the spectral phase is not flat at all (a flat spectral phase is required for a transform limited pulse). Next, the beam returning from the pulse compressor was focused with a concave mirror onto a GaAsP photodiode and the resulting nonlinear signal was used as a feedback for the correction algorithm. After optimization using a technique called Phase resolved interferometric spectral modulation (PRISM), the temporal profile (Figure c) shows a dramatically shorter, Gaussian shaped pulse. The spectral phase is perfectly flat (Figure d) with less than 0.01 radians phase error and is stable in time. These results suggest that the precision and stability of the Linear Array DM allows close to perfect restoration of transform limited laser pulses. For more information on the optimization technique, you can access a scientific publication here.
In our next blog post, we will discuss the results of the use of the Linear Array DM in an interesting two-photon microscopy experiment.
More details can be found in our Linear Array white paper which includes a more detailed description of this application.
This past summer, Boston Micromachines Corporation conducted a survey of nearly 300 members of the business and scientific community to find out what features were valued in a deformable mirror for adaptive optics and other wavefront correction applications. Respondents came from our three major vertical markets: microscopy, astronomy and laser science. In this survey, we asked some fundamental questions and had respondents choose between three DMs with properties varying in categories of actuator count, stroke, response time and price in various combinations. We were able to drill down to what each respondent valued. Here are some of our key findings:
1) Actuator count was the most valued property
Across all verticals, this was true. Overall, respondents preferred an average of 1000 actuators. While microscopists preferred 140 actuators by almost 2 to 1 over other models, those who identified as laser scientists were looking for an average of 1001 actuators and astronomers preferred, on average, 1800 actuators.
This was very interesting to us considering we are the only player in the market to provide deformable mirrors with these actuator counts as standard products or are developing DM systems which meet these specific needs (we have a 2000 element mirror in the works).
2) High speed is important
The most frequently chosen option for response time amongst laser scientists was 50μs and all other disciplines preferred average response better than 300μs. This is great news for the industry considering that most mirror architectures can respond adequately to meet the needs of the users. Our DM architectures are available with response times up to 22μs and we are able to drive these mirrors with our X-Driver (response time down to 4μs), satisfying high speed requirements as well.
3) Low price is desired
As we hear so often, most users were looking for low-priced devices. This was the second preferred property after actuator count. While those of us in the industry talk about lower prices with higher volumes, the volumes just haven't been there yet to make this prophecy come true. The hope in the future is that the DMs based on scalable technologies, such as MEMS, will take off and lower-priced devices will be available.
We definitely learned a lot from this survey, above and beyond what is mentioned above. If you have any questions about our methods or are interested in discussing more specifics about the responses, I would be glad to chat further. Just contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Up until recently nearly all adaptive optics (AO) systems used wavefront sensors for correction. But with recent advances, off-the-shelf wavefront sensorless AO is becoming a reality. Benefits of this type of AO include enhanced aberration correction due to the elimination of non-common path errors and wavefront sensor noise.
BMC has developed a Wavefront Sensorless AO Demonstrator (WS-AOD) which provides a platform for utilizing metric-based wavefront control with BMC MEMS deformable mirror (DM) technology. While conventional AO systems perform closed-loop DM control using direct measurements of the wavefront as feedback, the metric-based approach uses details in the aberrated light to improve clarity. Two versions are available; one is optimized for beam shaping applications and the other is designed for imaging applications.
We see laser beam shaping as a key area in this exciting technology and our demonstrator is built to address the unique challenges of this field. Our WS-AOD serves as an introduction to wavefront sensorless adaptive optics principles. It allows users to understand the details involved in properly implementing a metric-based adaptive optics solution on an optical system. The demonstrator can also be used as a stand-alone aberration compensator. By introducing aberrations in the sample stage, the system can be optimized for a multitude of use cases from laser research applications to scanning laser microscopy. Additionally, the user can easily integrate the hardware into an existing optical system and utilize the open source software code for metric-based correction.
Schematic of WS-AOD for beam shaping applications. Also available for imaging applications.
To compensate for phase aberrations the WS-AOD uses BMC's deformable mirror (DM) technology. BMC's DM is a continuous facesheet deformable mirror that is controlled by hysteresis-free electrostatic actuators located on a square grid. The full DM active aperture can be as little as 1.5 mm to as much as 25 mm across. Each actuator can provide up to 5.5 µm of mechanical stroke, which corresponds to about 11 µm of phase control. The electrostatic actuator array is driven using independent high voltage channels with 14-bit resolution. This corresponds to sub-nanometer displacement precision. The drive electronics can provide frame rates of from about 4.6 kHz up to 100 kHz.
The control software for WS-AOD allows the user to correct for aberrations introduced as well as generate a random aberration using the DM. The software is open source code based in Mathwork's Matlab and runs on platforms using Windows operating systems. By utilizing the included algorithm to manipulate the mirror surface, the mirror compensates for aberrations and converges to an optimal profile. The user has access to the open source code to balance correction capability between maximum signal and minimal time.

is it friday yet?
a peak into my sunday…
apparently they pay me enough to have me wear a dorothy costume on a sunday.
i kept it long island but trading ruby slippers for brown uggs.
they can take the girl outta long island but they can't take the long island outta the girl
i traded toto for a bowl of peanut butter laden egg white oats and spent the day manning the raffle table at our big homecoming celebration.
toto, i don't think we're in kansas brooklyn anymore
and now i regret to say that it's back to the grind.
but coming home to a big honkin' salmon salad made the 10+ hours on my feet and hour & a half commute home all worth while
kale, butternut squash, & salmon baked in dijon mustard, olive oil, fresh basil & chili powder, dressing of sesame oil, lime juice & balsamic vinegar
the highlight of my day being breakfast as always
i've been running low on my protein powder stash lately, and wanted to look into trying a new type of protein.
i've used everything from low carb isopure strawberries and cream, low car isopure cookies & cream, optimum nutrition in banana cream or vanilla ice cream, true protein in birthday cake & chocolate
but lately the artificial sweeteners or something in the proteins have been giving me bad stomach problems, so i decided to go a different route
i've actually been waiting to do a 'make your own' protein since i saw therese and so i knew that as soon as my stash was depleting i was going to go that route
i used the site true protein and after following a few short/easy steps & $26 (including shipping/handling) came this baby to my door step
a 2lb tub of protein blend:
- 25% whey protein concentrate
- 25% egg white protein
- 50% gemma protein peat isolate non-GMO
vanilla sweetened with stevia (all-natural) and a plastic jug with *free scoop* for $0.75 extra (<—i splurged!)
& it had great stats too!
the cost of the protein wasn't bad AT ALL. for my home made blend it was $6.73/lb, i got 2lbs because well 1lb would be done in like 30 seconds. and then i added in the scoop/tub for $0.75.
shipping costs was really what jacked up the price, but in my opinion it was a great deal
i was nervous about this for several reasons, being that i've never tried egg white or pea protein before and i had no idea what the combination, flavor or texture was going to be like
my top favorite use for protein is in oatmeal in the morning, so i was pretty amped to try it today. last night i made standard protein oats just by cooking 1/3c oat bran with 2.5 cups of water and mixing in a scoop of my personal protein blend
left it in the fridge overnight uncovered and then slapped on 2 tsp of chunky whole foods 365 brand peanut butter in the morning.
verdit? AMAZING. seriously i would order this again in a heartbeat. probably a different flavor the next time, but vanilla was a great start. it had a great flavor, mixed fabulously
i will be a frequent flyer here for sure.
(note this was done on my own money, own terms & own opinion!) <--- which is probably all that matters anyway ;)
how was your weekend?
ciao bellas!
love to love you <3
cawfee tawk! where do you get your protein powder from/favorite go-to brand? have you ever made your own like this?

London-based Laura Kidd is a woman with some weighty issues on her mind. Armed with a quiver of thirteen arrowhead-sharp grunge-pop songs, which make up an as yet untitled debut album due in September, she's bringing her tales of "love, loss, betrayal, homicide, genocide, crap friends and animal urges" to whomsoever is willing to hear them. Recorded at a studio in Hackney with co-producer Myles Clarke, the album was wrapped in seventeen days and features guest vocals from Djevara frontman Bass and harpist Kat Arney.
The album's first single 'Let This Be' was released last month, and will be followed in June by a second single, 'I Am', complete with a video made with Judy Jacob of visual art collective Beggar's Velvet (Laura Marling, Black Francis, Kings Of Leon). First though, in light of the political upheaval we've witnessed in the past week, Laura is offering another album track for free. 'NIMN' – as in, not in my name – is a protest song with all the attendant gnashing and wailing you might expect. Imagine appealingly grainy angst-pop à la Blood Red Shoes shot through in leftfield with the conceptual imagination of someone like Melissa Auf der Maur, and you'll get somewhere close to She Makes War.

Then why did we start using H* tags good title etc to dominate the serps of sites that dont know of such voodoo. Are you also suggesting they do return the best results? I am talking about feilds that I have no vested interest in, full of guff from proper markup. Who's fault is that, Google for not being able to combat spam or the webmaster for knowing how to work it.

Thanks for the link
I emailed both my congressmen and requested that they MAN UP. Everyone should be on this... it would be a great way to Honor Dr. Paul and his efforts towards the federal reserve and its secrecy... maybe after the audit we could end it as well when the public actually gets to see what it is that they really do with OUR money.

We need more people
to contact their Senators.
Find your Senators' contact info here:
All you need to do is send an email stating something along the lines of:
I urge you to co-sponsor S. 202, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011, because Americans deserve a full audit of the Federal Reserve to find out how the Fed conducts its operations.
The Fed has acted in secrecy for far too long and even though an audit was conducted as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill, the audit did not include monetary policy decisions and transactions with foreign central banks. We need a full audit to understand what actions the Fed has undertaken, given their influence on the value of the dollar.

Take 5 minutes
to email or call your Senators and tell them to co-sponsor S 202. Do it for Ron Paul.

If we want to see a FULL audit
we need people to contact their Senators.
The bill will more than likely pass the House but it's the Senate that will be the problem.
Please take 5 minutes to contact both your Senators and urge them to co-sponsor S 202 or thank them for co-sponsoring S 202.

I am also shocked
either it is a typo or Ron Paul supporters have him a bit worried about his next term,lol.
If I disappear from a discussion please forgive me. My 24-7 business requires me to split mid-sentence to serve them. I am not ducking out, I will be back later to catch up.

Who wants to see a FULL audit of the Fed?
If you want to help Ron Paul get his bill that he's introduced every year for decades passed, the very least you can do is take 5 minutes out of your time and email your Senators who have not co-sponsored S. 202.
You can find your Senators' emails here:
Make it short and to the point. Urge them to co-sponsor S. 202, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011, because Americans deserve to know how the Federal Reserve conducts its operations. The Dodd-Frank financial reform bill allowed for a one-time audit of the Federal Reserve but it still prevented the Government Accountability Office from auditing transactions with foreign central banks and monetary policy decisions.

Have fun with it! If you're
Have fun with it! If you're unfortunate like me, with two D senators, fashion your email to sound like you're a Democrat.
Dear Senator Numbnutts,
I rarely agree with those nasty House Republicans, but gosh, what's right is right. Please encourage Senator Reid to allow a vote on S 202, the Audit the Fed bill, and then please vote for it! The American people have a right to know which big corporations the Federal Reserve is bailing out.

Please contact your Senators
Only Utah has both Senators as co-sponsors of S. 202, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011.
Everyone outside of Utah has at least one Senator they can contact.

Kelly Ayotte's name is not on this. Anyone in N.H. get on her case. She is no friend of liberty. I just wrote her and told her as the "tea party cand. blech!" I was surprised to not see her co-sponsoring this. Well, really we all know why she isn't but shaming her won't hurt.

All I have been doing is going back through adding unique meta descriptions, (making sure they are short enough to be included completely in the snippets), cleaning up the HTML code wherever I found issues (and there are a lot of issues with this site - it is older, circa 2000, and was originally built with a WYSIWYG Editor. As a result, there is a lot of unnecessary code, and I'm in the process of removing it, and slowly updating it to CSS and more current HTML standards. I know Google is on record as stating we shouldn't worry about the code, as they strip it out anyway, but I was concerned to see multiple <FONT > tags separating the anchor text and the <a href > tags. I figured that had to be bad for any search engine, to try to decipher what exactly the anchor text was in between all the font size, font face, font colors, etc. I did also upload a URL text map to Google. I figured it might help Google sort out what pages are mine and which ones aren't mine, in case there's anything going on in the form of 302 abuse. It would seem the map should help Google determine which pages DON'T belong to a particular site as well as which ones DO BELONG. Of course I don't know if any of this is what corrected the problem. The site did sit dormant for about 2 years, with very few updates due to getting hit in November 2004 with some sort of penalty. I just lost interest in it, thinking it was a waste of time. E-mails from visitors asking about updates and telling me how much they love the site motivated me to work on it again, if only for them. I now believe my forum was to blame, which had been added in August 2004, and that I now know was generating tons of duplicate content. I disallowed the forum in robots.txt and those pages are slowly being deindexed. The number count of site pages in Webmaster Tools is now much closer to their actual number, so I know these duplicate pages were weighing the site as a whole down, likely messing up internal PR distribution, too, which caused some lower level pages to go supplemental. I've always felt that Google overlooks some things, but when a site reaches a certain level of issues, it is impacted in the rankings. I envisioned every page I worked on having the ability to finally lower my site's penalty score enough to restore good rankings in the index. I'm still not convinced this is a permanent change, due to the fluctuations of the index, but I'm still slowly making corrections so I hope this is enough to keep me out of trouble, since I never intentionally did anything wrong to start with.

Branislav Nušić
Branislav Nušić (Serbian Cyrillic: Бранислав Нушић, pronounced [brǎnislav̞ nûʃit͡ɕ]; October 8, 1864 — January 19, 1938) was a Serbian novelist, playwright, satirist, essayist and founder of modern rhetoric in Serbia of Aromanian descent. He also worked as a journalist and a civil servant.
Early life[edit]
Born Alkibijad Nuša (Aromanian: Alchiviadi al Nuşa) in Belgrade, Principality of Serbia to a well-off family in a house located in Kralja Petra Street that has since been demolished (today, the National Bank of Serbia building is located in that spot).
Nušić enjoyed the benefits of a privileged upbringing for only a brief time. His father Goerge Nusha (Đorđe Nuša) was a well known grain merchant of Cincar (Aromanian or Vlach) origin who lost his wealth shortly after his son's birth and was forced to move the family to Semedria or Smederevo where young Alkibijad attended elementary school and first two grades of boarding school.
During his teens, Nuša moved back to Belgrade where he graduated from boarding school. Upon turning 18 years of age, he legally changed his name to Branislav Nušić. In 1884, he graduated from the University of Belgrade's Law School. During his studies, he also spent a year in Graz, Austria-Hungary.
Writing career[edit]
Twenty-one-year-old Nušić fought in the Serbo-Bulgarian War of 1885 while serving in the Serbian Army. After the war, he published a controversial poem "Two Servants" (Serbian: "Два раба") in Dnevni list for which he spent two years in prison. The poem ridiculed Serbian King Milan, namely his decision to attend the funeral of the Serbian general Dragutin Franasović's mother instead of that of the war's hero Captain Mihailo Katanić who died as a result of wounds sustained while saving the regimental flag from the hands of Bulgarians.
At first, Nušić's sentence was only two months, but the King pressured the judges to extend it. Despite harsh prison conditions, Nušić still managed to write a comedy: Protection (Serbian: "Протекција"). When he first asked the prison intendant, Ilia Vlah, for the permission to write, Vlah told him that it was the writing that got him into prison, and denied his request. Knowing that intendant read all outgoing mail, Nušić wrote a brief letter to the second husband of his aunt (he was related to her first husband), who served as a minister of justice. Nušić addressed Gersić as uncle and told him how it would be much easier for him to serve two years if he could write. He noted that he had no interest in writing political texts, and signed the letter your nephew. One day later, Vlah allowed him to write literature.
In 1889, Nušić became a civil servant. As an official in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs he was appointed to clerk of consulate in the Aromanian city of Bitola, where he eventually married (1893). He spent a decade in southern Serbia and Macedonia. His last position in this region was Vice-consul in Pristina.[1]
In 1900, Nušić was appointed as a secretary of Ministry of Education, and shortly afterwards he became a head dramaturgist of the National Theatre in Belgrade. In 1904, he was appointed a head of Serbian National Theatre in Novi Sad. In 1905, he left his new post and moved to Belgrade to work as a journalist.
In 1912, Nušić returned to Bitola as a civil servant. During Balkan Wars in February 1913, Nušić, who was the prefect, was regarded as too moderate, and replaced by someone more sympathetic with the views of the military party and of "the black hand."[2] In 1913, he founded a theater in Skopje, where he lived until 1915. Due to the World War I, Nušić fled the country and lived in Italy, Switzerland and France for its duration.
After the war, Nušić was appointed to be the first head of the Art Department of the Ministry of Education. He remained at this post until 1923. Afterwards, he was appointed head of Narodno pozorište (National Theater) in Sarajevo. In 1927, he returned to Belgrade.
Social Criticism[edit]
Nušić is more celebrated as a playwright than as a novelist. His incidental novels and journalistic feuilletons are not always moralistic or polished, but they are lively and amusing sketches of life. He is more prolific in historical drama and comedy. Of his plays, the most popular are The Pull ("Протекција"), An Ordinary Man ("Обичан човек"), Behind God's Back (Иза Божијих леђа), Prince of Semberia, The High Sea (Пучина), Hadži Loja, and Rastko Nemanjić.
Through his plays, Nušić presented Serbian society and the mentality of the middle class in small towns and counties. He brought to the stage not only the retailers, canton captains, semi-educated officers, and current and former ministers' wives, but also formerly distinguished and overly ambitious householders, their decadent sons, failed students, distinguished daughters of marriageable age, and greedy upstarts.[3]
All-in-all he depicted the Serbian middle class and its morality, which managed to survive despite all the political and social reforms, newly formed educational system and cultural institutions. He also paid special attention to the social conditions of their origins, as they started out with unrealizable desires and insatiable appetites, the distorted family and marital relationships, misunderstandings and intolerance between fathers and sons, unfaithful husbands and wives, officers' ignorance and corruption and unreal political ambitions. Nušić thus became not only a playwright, observer and interpreter of his time, but also an analyst of Serbian society and its mentality at a specific historical period.[3]

SSD reliability
The big market impact of SSD dark matter
Zsolt Kerekes
, editor - September 11, 2012
ometimes putting a name to something helps you deal with it.
Because even if you don't understand the underlying details a useful coping strategy is to place the word or phrase in your mental map of what's going on.
Later - if the new concept becomes a bigger part of what you need to know on a daily basis you can read up some more about it. But having a label gives you an initial hook to hang your thoughts on. You could say that's the typical life-cycle of most
SSD jargon
Have you been wondering about the viability of vendor business models in the
enterprise SSD market
My guess is that then even if you're comfortably familiar with the
core user value propositions for SSDs
and on passing terms with
various key enterprise flash technologies
- and even if you're already well versed in the arcanarie of the enterprise datacenter - then I think you'll agree with me that a lot of what's happening in enterprise SSD land still doesn't appear to make sense.
For example:-
How do all these market size projections add up?
And why are
cheerfully tossing nearly as much new money into the SSD pot as the whole pot was worth in revenue not that long ago?
I've written before about
some of the more obvious reasons
that enterprise SSD revenue is accelerating - which can be summed up as saying this.
There was a time when most apps didn't depend on SSDs. When users try out SSDs for the first time they're cautious at first - but if they get good results they know a whole bunch of other places they can also use SSDs in the future - and each time - as using SSDs gets more familiar - the next purchase is bigger and happens quicker. This transition phase from a "new" technology becoming mainstream is what creates a "
growth bubble
" for vendors.
Fair enough - but how big will the eventual SSD bubble be?
long held view
is that all the traditional ways of
can't help but
the destination size of the SSD market.
That's because SSD is a disruptive market and doesn't only replace old ways of doing things - but will create new markets that didn't exist before and which couldn't have existed before SSDs reached a threshold level of awareness and affordability.
What are the new SSD empowered apps?
And who will be the biggest future users of enterprise SSDs?
That's a subject which I discuss a lot with vendors. It's fun guessing - and
some of the guesses
may be right. But just as it would have been impossible to predict with detail the effects of the
microprocessor and the internet
when those technologies started to become well known - it's probably impossible to predict with any level of precision what the SSD empowered super new markets
of the future will be.
I call this market factor - "SSD Dark Matter"
Like cosmological dark matter - the SSD dark matter will be bigger in mass than anything which we can currently see or foresee.
I often say to enterprise SSD marketers - it's easy to create a list of the top 10 oems or user sites which already use SSDs - but no one's got more than a small fraction of the list of future SSD user heavyweights - because they don't exist yet - or if they do - they're in stealth mode.
They can see us - however - and if you're looking in today - then
The SSD Dark Matter Market is one of the reasons I urge all SSD companies to put more info about what they do on the visible web.
Be clearer explaining what you do.
Don't hide silly obvious stuff behind log-ins and NDAs.
And improve your
online signposting
. You're just one among hundreds of SSD companies - so to make it easier for the dark matter people to find you.
The new startups don't have the time or patience to follow your tangled old marketing communication threads.
They're not going to tramp around a tented booth fair to swap business cards and war stories about the good old days.
Today, tomorrow and the next unknowable 5 years are the good old days for them.
But here's the good part. And you can do something about it.
If the dark matter SSD people like your SSD technology and place it at the heart of their own launch platforms - they could make you seriously rich.
The SSD Dark Matter impact is why the SSD market will grow to be many times bigger than anyone with a sane spreadsheet could possibly expect.

ioDrives from
Fusion-io positions ioScale for new SSD Dynasties
Editor:- January 16, 2013 -
has released a new
PCIe SSD
called the
(3.2TB on a single half length PCIe slot) which is aimed at technically savvy customers who have the potential to use thousands of cards in their installations in
new dynasty enterprise SSD apps
is under $3,900 / TB and the minimum order quantity is 100 units.
Editor's comments:-
When you first look at this product - you might be tempted to think - So what? - isn't it very similar in capability to other products which FIO (and others) have shipped already?
In one way you'd be right. The ioScale's hardware design is based on FIO's experience in making low cost PCIe SSDs for the workstation market - which is as close to
market price pressure as FIO gets at the present time.
But the ioScale is aimed at a special class of enterprise super users - whose apps and companies I call:-
new dynasty
dark matter
Rick White
told me that when they did market research into the kinds of customers who were already using their SSDs they discovered the big enterprise SSD customers could be segmented into 2 groups which superficially had similar performance needs - but were very different in the ways in which they valued issues such as:-
compatibility with traditional software apps,
how they handle reliability,
how often they refresh and replace their infrastructure.
how they assess the cost / benefit of features within SSDs
The traditional enterprise customers have the profiles which everyone in the industry knows about and aims their products at - but the new type of enterprise customers have needs which are only starting to clarify - and for this latter type of customer - SSDs are a strategic business enabler - because they can convert efficiencies in raw computing technology into real competitive advantage.
Fusion-io is one of the few companies in the world which already has a set of these latter cloud / data factory economy customers who each have already got thousands of high performance PCIe SSDs - and who have the ability to scale up substantially if their requirements are met and the SSD enabled economy grows in the directions expected.
Rick told me that these customers do want
scalable SSD performance
, and low cost - but they don't need many of the bundled frills which are deemed to be necessary for traditional enterprise SSD customers
When legacy apps report faulty drives they change the drive or the rack. When
new dynasty SSD users report faults - they route around them. Then when the time comes to upgrade the CPU and storage capacity per square foot of that region in the datacenter - the whole lot is forklifted out and replaced - faulty and unfaulty racks - makes no difference.
Also - in these apps - hot pluggable drives are a frill which is simply not worth paying for.
The dark matter SSD customers - at which the ioScale is aimed - also know much more about the technical limitations of their infrastructure - and have the technical expertise to change things to suit them better - if they think it's worthwhile. So - for example - the ability to dive into SSD APIs and change their apps code to get speedups or other new functionality - is something they will do - whereas traditional enterprise customers prefer all new hardware to work with pre-existing software in a tweak-free environmoent.
During my conversation with Rick White - I referred back to the
ION software
(which FIO launched in
August 2012
- and which enables users to convert a standard server and a bunch of
PCIe SSDs
into a traditional
SAN compatible
rackmount SSD
). My assessment of that product shared with readers at the time - was that if it satisfied the needs of a small number of super users - who could each buy maybe hundreds or thousands of such systems - that made it worthwhile for FIO to bundle the concept and launch it. I thought the analysis I had seen in other places - which compared it to traditional rack SSDs was completely missing the point.
Rick confirned my analysis was closer to the mark - and many times in our discussion we returned to the problems in the SSD market caused by faulty and incomplete
market research
and mistaken understandings of what the real issues in the market were.
My way of summarizing this is - that if you ask a bunch of people who go to a trade show - what do you think about SSDs? - you're going to get a different result to when you talk to people who are already deeply engaged in the SSD market, have already done a lot of SSD projects and who spend nearly all their waking hours thinking about what more can they do if they had even better SSDs?
It's not that the traditional market research gives you the wrong answers - it's more that - if you're not in the right place in the SSD market then you don't understand enough to pose the right questions - and you probably don't have access to the people who will ultimately decide the answers.
Fusion-io isn't the only SSD company who is getting value business insights by researching its strategic customers.
I reported last year that
had adapted its approach to enterprise customers by deciding to support competing hardware with its
software. And there are many more examples I could mention if I had the time.

First time to order with MisterArt. Needed bulk acrylic, gesso, gel and brushes for 6 large pieces for a church project. Didn't know what to expect but did find the larger quantities I needed. The canvas, gesso, gel and brushes were just what we needed. Can't wait for the show on April 6. Working with young people on this project and they're excited.
