Shape helps catalyst extract energy from biomassApril 2, 2014 6:06 am | News | Comments
Biomass is a good alternative for fossil fuels, but converting biomass into useful chemicals and fuels is difficult in practice. The metal oxide CeO2 can help the process by activating water, but until recent research in the Netherlands, it was not clear in which form the reactivity of this catalyst was highest.

Researchers discover highly promising new class of nanocatalystFebruary 28, 2014 7:23 am | by Lyn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | Comments
A big step in the development of advanced fuel cells and water-alkali electrolyzers has been achieved with the discovery of a new class of bimetallic nanocatalysts that are an order of magnitude higher in activity than the target set by the U.S. Department of Energy for 2017. The new catalysts feature a 3-D catalytic surface activity that makes them significantly more efficient and far less expensive than the best platinum catalysts.
Silver gone astrayFebruary 25, 2014 5:04 pm | News | Comments
It has long been known that free, ionic silver particles can be highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Yet we a lack of detailed knowledge about the doses required to trigger a response and how the organisms deal with the stress. To learn more about the cellular processes, scientists in Switzerland subjected algae to a range of silver concentrations. The results are reassuring, but the presence of other stressors could compound the problem.

Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with scientists at Northwestern Univ. are the first to grow graphene on silver which, until now, posed a major challenge to many in the field. Part of the issue has to do with the properties of silver, the other involves the process by which graphene is grown.
On the road to MottronicsFebruary 25, 2014 8:38 am | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | Comments
Mottronics is a term seemingly destined to become familiar to aficionados of electronic gadgets. Named for the Nobel laureate Nevill Francis Mott, Mottronics involve materials that can be induced to transition between electrically conductive and insulating phases. If these phase transitions can be controlled, Mott materials hold promise for future transistors and memories that feature higher energy efficiencies and faster switching speeds.
Solving an evolutionary puzzleFebruary 12, 2014 4:58 pm | News | Comments
For four decades, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and heavy metals from nearby manufacturing plants flowed into New Bedford Harbor, creating one of the EPA's largest Superfund cleanup sites. It's also the site of an evolutionary puzzle: small Atlantic killifish are not only tolerating the toxic conditions in the harbor, they seem to be thriving there. In a new paper, researchers may have an explanation for their genetic resistance to PCBs.

Engineers are increasingly turning to plasmonic color filters (PCFs) to create and control a broad spectrum of colors for imaging applications. However, PCF light transmission efficiency has been limited to only about 30%, less than half the rate of conventional filters. Researchers have now developed a new PCF scheme that achieves a transmission efficiency of 60 to 70%.
X-ray analysis shows thermotropic phase boundaries in classic ferroelectricsFebruary 6, 2014 12:52 pm | News | Comments
Lead-free BaTiO3 and KNbO3 ferroelectrics have been known and studied for more than 60 years. However, recent scanning x-ray diffraction studies at Argonne National Laboratory have shown new low-symmetry intermediate phases in these materials that lend a thermotropic character to otherwise well-known phase transitions. The findings show that these transitions in ferroelectrics are closely coupled to the underlying domain microstructure.

Roots of the lithium battery problem: Dendrites start below the surfaceDecember 18, 2013 8:28 am | by Lynn Yarris, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory | News | Comments
Lithium-ion batteries could have significantly higher energy density if their graphite anodes were to be replaced by lithium metal anodes. Hampering this change, however, has been the persistent growth of dendrites that eventually short-circuit the battery. Researchers have recently discovered that the bulk of dendrite material lies below the surface of the lithium electrode, underneath the electrode/electrolyte interface.

From one of the biggest Yankee fans on here, if these disturbances were a reaction to the Yankees loss (or the Red Sox win, whatever the case may be), this is just another embarrasment in the total picture. There is NEVER an excuse for this type of behavior.
And let me tell ya, dude, I hope that you are kidding when you say that you wish you were there. I was in the bleahcers in 1976 when Chambliss hit his HR in the ninth to win the ACLS from the Royals. The fans damn near tore Yankee Stadium down that night, That was one scary place to be. Not anything I would like to see again.
BTW, there is not usually a spectator seating area at a riot. They don't usually issue sideline passes. If you are there, the cops assume you are a participant. You get treated like a participant.

boston is the only only only!!!!!!!!wooooooooohooooooo oooo!!!!FTM-PTB/Leather Forever
10-21-2004, 03:58 PM #23For those international members that don't know, the riots were a result of the New York Yankees losing Game 7 to the Boston Red Sox, advancing the Sox to the World Series.
I thought Rioting was a byword for British Football (sorry, soccer) I thought it was just us with our crazy war like Island mentality who liked to riot for any reason... Winning sports, losing sports, increase in taxes, someone getting arrested....etc...etc...
Seriously though this is a major problem in the UK, crews are facing this sort of disorder in Cities all over this country. There have been numerous attacks on Fire Crews with on-Board Cameras and Riot shields a regular fixture on many Fire Trucks...
Although the 'super riots' of the 80's in places such as Brixton & Tottenham in London, Moss side in Manchester, Toxteth in Liverpool that went on for days and destroyed entire neighbourhoods haven't happenned for a while, smaller gang fights that run from street to street, burning and breaking stuff up happen on a frighteningly regular basis. Apart from the odd Soccer riot, there has been a massive rise in Roiting by Muslim Gangs in our cities. They burn out churches and Pubs... anything that is deemed 'Western' but no one will grab the bull by the horns and deal with it....wringing their hands instead worrying about accusations of Racism or breaching of Human rights!!!
My article in the memberzone Here deals with the issue and what can be done to assist or protect the crews. We are only a couple of weeks off of our bonfire season that coincides with a major islamic festival...this is a good reason to have a riot. My own Station last year had an additional 2 Pumps (Engine co's) posted in to deal with the high number of incidents on Nov th (Bonfire night) even then the 4 Pumps were not enough to deal with the 50 odd incidents dealt with between 4pm and midnight. with Crews from 9 different Stations on our ground at one point.
Good luck to all of you over there and pray this was a one off....also spare your UK Brothers & Sisters a thought on November 5th and the weekends either side. I am on duty both weekends so that'll be all good.

Woman injured in celebration outside Fenway dies
By Associated Press
Thursday, October 21, 2004
BOSTON - A 21-year-old college student died Thursday from injuries she received as police tried to subdue the rowdy crowd outside Fenway Park following the Red Sox's series-clinching win over the Yankees, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Victoria Snelgrove, an Emerson College journalism major from Bridgewater, was injured on Landsdowne Street early Thursday morning as fans poured out of bars and into the streets around Kenmore Square after the final out in Boston's 10-3 win at Yankee Stadium, authorities said.
A spokeswoman for Brigham and Women's Hospital said Snelgrove died there at 12:50 p.m.
Mayor Tom Menino told WBZ-AM that Snelgrove was hit in the head by a ``non-lethal weapon,'' but he did not elaborate. Menino did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press Thursday afternoon.
David Procopio, a spokesman for the Suffolk district attorney, said the office is investigating the incident.
``One factor that is being investigated is whether her injuries were sustained in any way during crowd control measures,'' Procopio said. ``That has not been confirmed or determined yet.''
Sixteen people were injured in all, including a police officer whose wounds were not severe, a police spokeswoman said.
Several small fires were set, fireworks shot into the sky, a trash can was thrown at a fast-food restaurant sign and numerous fights broke out.
Boston police reported eight arrests in the neighborhood, mostly for disorderly conduct, though one arrest was reported for assault and battery on a police officer.
David Rosen, a spokesman for Emerson College, said school officials were unsure how Snelgrove died and that the hospital did not provide details of her injuries.
``There are several different accounts of how it happened,'' he said. ``I'm sure the police and the city will conduct a full investigation, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how it happened. It's a great personal tragedy for this individual, her family and her many friends here at the college. We'll mourn her death no matter how it happened.''
Rosen said a memorial service was being planned and grief counselors would be on hand to help students deal with Snelgrove's death.
Students also gathered on college campuses around the region following the game.
About 5,000 people flooded the Southwest residential hall complex at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst. UMass Sgt. David White said 29 people were arrested. One UMass police officer was injured while making an arrest.
At UMass-Dartmouth, about 2,000 people were dispersed by police using stun grenades and several arrests were made.
In New Hampshire, police made about 15 arrests as crowds got out of hand near Plymouth State University. Police said crowds swarmed the campus and surrounding neighborhoods.
And at the University of Vermont, more than 1,000 people gathered, setting fires, toppling light poles and fences and tipping a van on its side. No injuries were reported.

Rioters should be shot. Period. We've gotten way too soft in this country. No way should throwing rocks at first responders be tolerated.
As to why they're rioting-probably time for some new appliances and other merchandise.
Please stay safe, FDNY and NYPD.

Rioters are breaking the law. There is usually alcohol involved. They commit ancillary crimes like agg. assault on public safety personnel. They often cause injuries.
But shot? We don't shoot people who shoot people.
just like to know where this is coming from because as of this post there is nothing localy on tv, radio or 'net about any of the info in the first thread

Re: Re: reportedOriginally posted by DennisTheMenace
From 17 hours ago
17 hours doesnt tell me the source of the original report.
Like I said earlier there are no reports in any of the NYC media (unlike the death in Boston which is an AP story)
As we all know anyone can say anything on the net but facts are facts and there is nothing of significance being reported from NYC.
It doesn't surprise me much that you are not seeing much news coverage of the post-game revelry, especially if there have not been any deaths or other "newsworthy" events. I would not necessarily assume it was a riot, just the unfortunate after-effects of large sporting events mixed with alcohol consumption.
I was attending College in Toronto for the Jay's 94 World Series win, and I partied all night long on Younge Street with well over a half-million partiers. I saw three destroyed taxi cabs, and one destroyed streetcar along with many broken windows and other vandalism. I thought it was insane at the time, and bordering on a riot, but it didn't receive any news coverage at all. In fact, early in the evening while I was still somewhat sober, I stopped to talk with a couple of Toronto Metro Police who were monitoring activities from the intersection of a side street, and they simply said, "No big deal, this always happens after a big event like this. We just try to pick out the worst trouble makers and stay out of the way"
The difference between a riot and a big street party can be a fine line sometimes. As those officers told me, sometimes you just have to keep your head down and stay out of the way until it blows over.Never argue with an Idiot. They drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience!

What dennis the mennace said a few posts back is actualy true, the fans suck, what a bunch of pathetic sore loosers. I hope they all get thrown in jail and have to pay for their stupity. I hope those people know that if they throw stuff at cops and hurt them, the solid steel battons will make contact with their thick skulls. Also if anyone dies (innocently) due to these riots and can be connected to the riot-goer, maybe 50-life would be a nice end.
Stay safe and I hope these idiots get the full force of the law thrown at them. Dont make crap like this up.FF I

I haven't heard of any riots in NY, at all. Can anyone name a source of the story or post the articles? I am sure there were some roudy fans after the game who might have stirred up some trouble but the type of riots spoken about here would not be generated in this city for a baseball game. Boston on the other hand had to deal with a much more volitile crowd and even suffered a unfortunate death from a rubber bullet as the police tried to break up the crowd.
Lets face it, this was an emotionally charges series that has had bad feelings festering since 1918 but it's not an isolated incident since this kind of nonsense happens at most big sporting events around the world and not just here. The bottom line here is this-It's over lets move on."Never trust a smiling dog"

Boston mayor weighs alcohol limits after death
Greg Sukiennik / Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) - Mayor Thomas Menino said he was considering banning alcohol sales near Fenway Park during the World Series, following rowdy celebrations of the Red Sox's league championship that turned deadly when a police officer shot a projectile into a crowd.
Menino planned to meet with bar and nightclub owners Friday and also said he would press colleges to expel students found guilty of criminal conduct in the melee.
"Since people won't accept responsibility, I, as mayor, will take it into my own hands," Menino said.
Emerson College student Victoria Snelgrove, 21, died Thursday, hours after being hit in the eye with what was designed to be a non-lethal projectile that would douse the target with a pepper-like spray. Her father expressed outrage at the city's response to her death.
Witnesses said Snelgrove was standing outside the ballpark when a reveler threw a bottle at a mounted police officer. Another officer fired the plastic, pepper-spray filled balls into the crowd, hitting Snelgrove.
Fifteen other people, including a police officer, suffered minor injuries in Boston's Kenmore Square neighborhood near Fenway Park after thousands of baseball fans spilled onto the streets to celebrate the Red Sox triumph Wednesday night at New York's Yankee Stadium. Small fires were set and fights broke out. Boston police reported eight arrests, mostly for disorderly conduct.
Menino said that to avoid a repeat of the rowdiness in his city, he was considering imposing the alcohol-sales ban through a state law never before used in Boston. The law lets him ban sale or distribution of alcohol "in cases of riot or great public excitement."
He said he may also ask bar and restaurant operators not to let television stations broadcast live scenes from inside their establishments during games, as at least one station did Wednesday.
Peter Martineau, manager of Boston Beer Works, across from Fenway Park, expressed sympathy for Snelgrove's family but blamed area college students for causing the problems.
"They all want to come out to the Fenway for the excitement," he said. "I don't think the remedy is banning bars and restaurants from serving liquor. If you can't serve beer or anything, why would people come out? It's a beer works."
Officials said the projectiles are not supposed to be aimed at people's faces, and Police Commissioner Kathleen O'Toole said she would "firmly and emphatically accept responsibilities for any errors."
But, she continued, "I also condemn in the harshest words possible the actions of the punks (Wednesday) night who turned our city's victory into an opportunity for violence and mindless destruction."
The student's father, Rick Snelgrove, said angrily that she did nothing wrong. Standing outside the family home, he held up a photograph of his smiling daughter.
"What happened to her should not happen to any American citizen going to any type of game, no matter what," he said. "She loved the Red Sox. She went in to celebrate with friends. She was a bystander. She was out of the way, but she still got shot. Awful things happen to good people. My daughter was an exceptional person."
City officials had announced there would be a heavy police presence in Kenmore Square for the history-making victory by the Red Sox, who came back from 3 games to zero deficit to advance to the World Series.
The city had been caught understaffed when riots broke out after the New England Patriots' Super Bowl win Feb. 1, when one person was killed and another critically injured by a vehicle that plowed into revelers.
see, this is what happens when a team not used to winning actually does something impressive. their fans go abosolutely nuts!!!If my basic HazMat training has taught me nothing else, it's that if you see a glowing green monkey running away from something, follow that monkey!

Wow did I miss some chatting while at work.
Yes I was sitting at home (in Brooklyn) watching the disaster unfold(Yankees Losing their a@# to the Red Sox) when after the end of the game I thought it would be interesting to see what was happening in Manhattan on the Boro radio. Well as it turns out I heard all the transmissions first hand while listening to the scanner.
Some reasons why the news probably didn't really cover it. Who knows? However I've worked in those neighborhoods and if 12 firemen in a Truck & Engine won't stop at a fire for safety reasons, how interested do you think some dainty little blonde news reporter is on covering such a disturbance close up. Especially when the cops didn't even have control over the neighborhood for quite some time.
Everyone has seen what happens when a news camera puts on its light a night with a rowdy crowd of delinquents nearby...its like mosquitos to a lamp. Not a good Idea.

Charvel Cx 391 Superstrat Guitar, Sd Pups, Floyd Rose, Hardshell Case
Charvel So Cal Style 1 HH Electric Guitar in Candy Apple Red
You are looking at a 1990 made in Japan Charvel CX 391 superstrat electric guitar. The guitar is absolutely MINT. Not even a buckle rashes. it's like NEW. Plus, it's got two Seymour Duncan humbucker pickups in the bridge and neck. The pickup config is H/S/H, and the middle single is a stock Jackson pickup. It comes with a black Washburn Chainsaw hardshell case in excellent condition as well. All latches are there.
The guitar sounds really good and the neck is smooth, thin like the model series. It has a five way switch, 1 volume pot, 1 tone pot, Gotoh tuners (stamped with the Charvel logo), a licensed Floyd Rose JT-580 tremolo with Charvel stamped on it; it was made by Takeuchi in Japan. Japan has a highly skilled metal industry and the Takeuchi units benefit
from that. The metal is hardened correctly and the precision is better than other units made in Korea or China. It stays in tune.
The guitar also has a one piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard. The neck is straight, no issues and the action is low. The body is made out of alder (not plywood) with a 3-layered black pickguard. There nothing to say about cosmetic issues as there are none. The guitar is in MINT condition! The only thing missing is the tremolo back plate, which could be bought on eBay. You won't be disappointed with this guitar.
Shipping will be $35 and will be packed like a tank and fully insured. Lower 48 states only.
Happy bidding!

Some trivial things that bug the Spy begin with the way the name of this month, and for that matter the name of the fourth day of the week are usually pronounced--as if in the one case there were no "r" and in the other there were no "d."
And there's the way the typical recycled Social Studies or English teacher handles the grade eight math courses he's been assigned while he awaits retirement from a job long redundant. No, a prime number is not "one that is divisible by itself and one" for that definition includes one itself. Second, anyone who uses the term "cross multiply" in a classroom ought to be put out to pasture before they do any more damage. Does "Law of Proportions" really have too many syllables to be properly taught? Third, an exponent on a number does not mean "a number multiplied by itself n times." It counts the number of factors, NOT the number of multiplications. Fourth, the sum of money put to work to earn...| Read more »

The average spot rate for container shipping from Asia to Europe jumped 7.4 percent in the past week, part of a broad increase in pricing on east-west trade lanes that sent the SCFI Shanghai Containerized Freight Index to its first increase in more than four months.
The 0.4 percent uptick in the Shanghai Shipping Exchange's overall SCFI came as ocean carriers sought to implement new price increases ahead of an early Chinese New Year that may push a short, sharp upsurge in demand.
The $37 increase in the Asia-Europe was the largest week-to-week percentage gain of the year in that rate-depressed lane and put the index at $536, the highest point since the week of Nov. 18. The rate index, which measures average spot rates ocean freight forwarders get from carriers out of Shanghai, was still 62 percent below the Asia-Europe measure at the end of 2010.
The measures to the U.S. West Coast, the U.S. East Coast and to Mediterranean ports all inched up less than 1 percent from the week before.

Glass Bubble Project's owners Mike Kaplan and Chris McGillicutty are business partners, friends, and working artists. Beginning in 1998, they repurposed their garage space into a working studio where professional artists and students create side by side, firing delicate one-of-a-kind masterpieces—and, according to Cleveland Magazine, the occasional grilled cheese sandwich—in the shop's 2,000-degree furnace. Their glass-blowing and welding classes teach adults and children to create one-of-a-kind artwork as nearby artists at work bolster creativity. Besides classes, the studio invites guests to watch their free public demonstrations and grants private studio time to artists in need and broken bottles looking for a fresh start.
The shop's resident artists craft and sell sconces, chandeliers, and vases from recycled glass and repurposed metal. Nicknamed "Clevetion Glass" to simultaneously lampoon delicate Venetian glass and celebrate Cleveland's heartiness, their blend of industrial parts and elegant glasswork toughens up the décor of private residences and commercial buildings, such as the Ritz Carlton, all across the country.
Melissa Lopez faced a daunting task: a group of five friends all wanted to do their boudoir shoots back to back in one evening. She could see the potential wreckage—the ladies racing to make their shoot on time, makeup sessions running long, costume pieces getting lost—but she agreed to the plan anyway. As it turned out, her fears were warranted, but Melissa had never been one to let a challenge wear her down. So when her subjects reached the height of pandemonium, she decreed, "I don't care if we're going past midnight. Let's get these shots done." The ladies' stress receded, and the evening turned into a party complete with strawberries and champagne.
Shoots like these show why Melissa and her husband, Dustin, chose the name One Red Door Photography: it symbolizes their shared passion for capturing images full of life. In addition to boudoir shoots, the duo's services range from portrait sessions to video solutions for small businesses—an area of particular importance for Dustin, who comes from a lineage of restaurateurs going back to his great grandfather in Spain. Dustin's passion for photography, video, and helping small businesses also led to his Google Trusted Photographer certification, a distinction for photographers who capture panoramic shots of local businesses for Google Maps with Street View.
Art After Dark fosters creative expression in a nightlife atmosphere. Classes provide all the necessary materials to create paintings, decorate wine glasses, or carve pumpkins, and students can bring their favorite drinks to celebrate their new artistic accomplishments. Kids' sessions focus on age-appropriate pictures during small classes and birthday parties.
Many seasons have passed in the 50 years since Larmco Windows and Siding's founding, but the company's licensed, bonded, and insured craftsmen have yet to see a weather pattern that outlasts their protective windows and vinyl siding. Innovations such as energy-saving glass panes have helped Larmco's staffers stay ahead of the curve as they continue to add to their number of 250,000 windows installed. Their insulated vinyl siding also reduces energy costs, trapping warmth inside on cold days and keeping out the heat that radiates from the home's lava moat during the summer. They also insulate attics and install walk-in tubs that reduce the likelihood of bathing injuries.
What started out as a search for a fun alternative form of artistic expression led to the founding of an institution for preserving and sharing a millennia-old craft. That enthusiasm proved to be contagious, as more than 700 students from all ages and walks of life attended J & C Glass Studio's workshops in the first year alone.
Today, J & C Glass Studio continues to teach the art of glass blowing with instructional workshops that cater to beginner and advanced students. Passionate instructors share techniques performed almost the same way as artisans did thousands of years ago. During sessions, a mixture of sand, limestone, and silica is heated to 2,000 degrees until it reaches a honey-like consistency. From there, students shape it with tools, the power of suggestion, and their own breath, creating custom works of art that can decorate a mantel or desk for a lifetime.
Named among the top five local craft stores by Fox 8 City Voter, the shop serves as a workshop for burgeoning crafters, as well as a gift shop and a source for inspiring seasonal project ideas. Staff artists teach workshops in three crafting genres: jewelry, housewares, and needle arts, offering a well-rounded curriculum that helps students with all-around constructive knowledge. Just as fish parents drop their babies into the water to teach them how to swim, teachers instill the fundamentals of handicraft by walking students through their first project during classes. Inside the eclectic gift shop, more than 65 local artists display handmade loot such as purses, hair accessories, pottery, and greeting cards, each unique in design. The community-minded store also encourages crafters of all skill levels to gather under its roof, whether to trade inspiration, project ideas, or swap unneeded craft supplies.

Bølgen & Moi
Bølgen & Moi Review
In late 2012, this branch of the trendy Bølgen & Moi chain moved to grand and majestic quarters, with marble walls, tall columns, chandeliers, fabulous ceiling details, and a new champagne and seafood bar. What hasn't changed is its very good-value lunch menu, which includes their famous fish soup and a crayfish sandwich. Dinner might include turbot with asparagus and a citrus hollandaise, a modern take on a Norwegian classic.

Police warn to guard computers against cybercrime
1:05pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in News
POLICE are warning computer users to guard against a cyber attack in the wake of a Government alert issued by the UK's National Crime Agency.
Following the U.S. charging a man with cybercrime, the Agency is saying people probably have two weeks before international criminals get a so-called 'botnet' of hi-jacked computers functioning again.
The Agency has posted advice on how best to protect computers.
GetSafeOnline.org - a Government-backed initiative - has a list of downloads it recommends to run a sweep of your system.
- Install internet security software from companies listed on Get Safe Online's Facebook and Google+ profiles, to download a free tool to scan for Gameover Zeus and CryptoLocker, and remove them from your computer
- Do not open attachments in emails unless you are 100% certain that they are authentic
- Make sure your internet security software is fully up-to-date and switched on at all times
- Ensure your Windows operating system has the latest Microsoft updates applied
- Ensure your software programs have the latest manufacturers' updates applied
- Ensure all of your files including documents, photos, music and bookmarks are backed up and readily available in case you can no longer access them on your computer
- Never store passwords on your computer in case they are accessed by Gameover Zeus or another aggressive malware program.
Advice is also available at https://www.getsafeonline.org/ and https://www.cert.gov.uk/

|The owner of a small bookstore got a surprise
when he opened this one. Link to the story in references.
Edwin Herbert Land (May 7, 1909 – March 1, 1991) produced the first commercial instant camera in 1948, a year after unveiling instant film in New York City. The original cameras utilize a bellows which folded into the body and a series of doors or panels integrated into the back cover: the film is loaded on two spools, one with the negative and the other with the positive paper and reagent pods.
Above: early series 40 Roll Film
At $19.95 (the "model 20" referred to their target price of under $20 USD) it was the first truly inexpensive instant camera, and it literally exploded onto the market with a marketing campaign aimed at the younger generation; over its 5 year run production was probably in the millions but nobody seems to know the exact figures. In The Land List, Martin Kuhn states estimated production simply as "a whole bunch": until pack film eventually made it obsolete in 1970 the Swinger was the most popular camera on the planet.
Polaroid roll film went through many revisions notable primarily for their sizes: the earliest was the 3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (2 7/8" x 3 3/4" image area) Series 40 orthochromatic (sepia tone) ASA 100. Series 40 film was produced from 1948 until 1992 with various ASA ratings up to 3000: a panchromatic (black and white) version was released in 1955 with the first color version, Polacolor ASA 75 finally developed in 1963.
Series 30 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" roll film (2 1/8" x 2 7/8" image area) was introduced in 1954, and Series 20 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (2 1/8" x 2 7/8" image area) was introduced in 1965 specifically for the Swinger camera.
Above: Series 100/660
In addition to these there were of course a variety of technical and professional films as well as some instant developing movie film formats.
Above: Poloroid Pack Film
It is almost impossible to overestimate the effect that the Polaroid camera had on amateur pornography,a realm previously confined to photographers with access to expensive developing equipment and chemistry. It may also be difficult if not impossible to overestimate the effect this market had on the incredible popularity of the cameras: as a friend of mine recently put it, "Was a Polaroid ever used for anything else?". Of course the invention of digital photography rendered the Polaroid virtually obsolete outside of the realm of art photographers; in 2007 they stopped producing cameras and in 2009 the company stopped producing film (today Polaroid compatible pack film is available from Fuji and The Impossible Project).
Above: More series 100/660
In her blog Nekkid, Poly Amory writes:
Mixed Pack Film formats, above and below
There are of course literally thousands of these images online now, many of them scanned from pictures found far from their origins; the girlfriends and wives forever anonymous, frozen in that one second of time. On the one hand I have to wonder what some of them would think- these ordinary people, now cast out before the masses (all of these photos are already in the public domain, none of them are original to this article) and baring it all it in what was probably originally intended as a private moment. On the other hand they were also sent in to men's magazines and adult singles ads by the truckload, so the exhibitionist nature of many of them is undeniable.
In either case, I can't help but to be drawn to the spontaneity of the medium. They're often unposed and rarely serious. And that, to me, gives them a particular beauty that can't be reproduced in a professional setting. They portray sexuality as it should be: fun, celebratory and -again- spontaneous.
Anyway, a reader from "Down Under" has kindly contributed a few more personal pics to the collection. If you have some dusty old instant prints laying around that are obviously female, adult (NO MINORS, PERIOD), and relatively tasteful drop me an email and I'll post them at my discretion.
Thanks :)

The secret is in the planning when you migrate to the cloud
So you have decided that private cloud is the way to go. You have calculated the capacity requirements, done the architectural design, decided whether any equipment and software can be repurposed. You have ordered and received the additional kit, built the racks and organised the air conditioning, screwed in the servers, storage …
The rationale & business case needs to stack up before you start building infrastructure
The technical aspects are important but we've found with our clients the critical areas that need to be addressed first are from the business and process perspective.
Specific categories can be summarised below:
1. Strategic Drivers - what are the business objectives of migrating to a cloud solution? Business focus areas? Time to market? Flexibility? Current ability to deliver? Cost base?
2. What are the Service Drivers? e.g. performance, agility, availability, security, efficiency?
3. What Governance processes are in place? (This is key) e.g. operating model maturity, regulation, policies for data and security, location dependencies?

Yamla Pagla Deewana: Why 8 Top Producers Must Be Cursing Their Luck Today
Fortune favours the brave. So while eight top Bollywood producers refused to get on board Samir Karnik's Yamla Pagla Deewana, starring the Deols, veteran producer Nitin Manmohan's stepping in at the last moment (two days before the film went before the cameras) has proved highly profitable.
While the total budget (production, promotion and print) of Yamla Pagla Deewana is around Rs. 24 crore, Nitin Manmohan has already raked in at least Rs. 41 crore through the sale of the film's theatrical and satellite rights. After the release of the film's first trailer, the common public and the trade went into a tizzy of excitement. Advance booking in single screen theatres, starting Monday, has also been good. Let's take a look at the breakdown of the film's economics so far:
The producers have garnered Rs. 25 crore from the sale of theatrical rights for different territories (except Bombay, where one of the producers, Nitin Manmohan, is distributing the film himself). Nitin Manmohan and the other producers have sold off the film's satellite rights for Rs. 16 crore approx. As a result, the producer has already booked a profit of Rs. 17 crore, even before the film has hit the theatres!
But what really happened? Why was a project – that has proved profitable to the producer even before the film's release – rejected by many others? Thus goes the story…

I would trade Humphries to the Suns for Okafor and a 1st rd pick or to Charlotte for Gordon and a 1st round pick... in a HEARTBEAT. That is what I prefer beyond anything else with this guy.
My comments about using him in a sign and trade this summer should obviously only be seen as a scenario I desire if Ainge CANNOT get one of those type of deals.
It sounds like some here approve of a panic deal where Ainge feels he 'has to' move Humphries by the deadline of 'get nothing for him' this summer (Fiercy's words). That is FALSE thinking. Humphries is exactly the type of free agent who can benefit from a sign and trade this summer while the Celtics benefit as well.
I would be very dissapointed in Danny Ainge if he gave Hump away and took back a 2014-15 contract we don't need in the 6+ million range in return for just a 2nd round pick this year or a 1st rd pick in the future that will be in the 20's. His trade value this summer is more than that.

Stanger than fiction. Last Monday night, October 22nd, Tropical storm "Sandy" -- now Hurricane Sandy -- was just slowly forming about six hundred miles south of Jamaica in the Caribbean, not raising any particular concern at the time.
Twelve hours EARLIER, I sent my book "High Tide On Main Street: Rising Sea Level and the Coming Coastal Crisis" to Amazon to be listed for sale the next day. There is no way that I had any idea what would happen over the next week.
As the whole world now knows, Sandy is likely to be one of the worst hurricanes ever to hit the US. It is a combination of storm surge, an unusual path from east to west, unfortunate extreme tides with the full moon, and the slowly rising sea leel of the last half century. The forecast is that the storm surge in the greater New York area could hit as high as twelve feet - a deadly situation.
It is all described on page 121 of my book. I am as stunned as anyone. Actually I describe the scenario of a category 4 hurricane that comes from the same direction as Sandy, a Category 1 hurricane. Here are three of the relevant paragraphs:
The devastating damage of "Sandy" shows the stark reality of our vulnerability to rising seas, usual tides, storm surge and erosion.
Perhaps my explanations will help people understand what else lies ahead. The fact is that my description of the scenario on pages 120 - 122 was a hypothetical case of "what if". The core of my book, the inevitable course of sea level rise is a near certainty. Please share. We all have a lot to learn.

Bearings: News & Perspectives for Academic Affairs
Looking GoodFeb 11, 2013, 01:07 am - Carey Adams
It wasn't as fantastical as a trip to see "the great and powerful Oz" or as intimidating as testifying before a congressional panel, but my first budget presentation to the USG Chancellor and his staff was a little stressful. Last week, I joined President Linda Bleicken and Business & Finance VP David Carson to review Armstrong' current budget situation and to pitch our funding priorities for FY14. Although the budget for higher education is far from certain at this point, I believe we made a strong case for how Armstrong has used its resources responsibly and why we should be confident in our prospects for further accomplishments and success.
While we face challenges, we are a strong institution with many opportunities for development. We are living within our means and making good use of our resources. We are focused on the success of our students and making strides toward creating new pathways for students to pursue an Armstrong education.
Our success is due to the commitment and extraordinary efforts of our faculty and staff and, of course, by the hard work of our students. I want to say thank you to our many Armstrong colleagues who have, for example:
Just as Dorothy's friends learned they already possessed the qualities they sought, I believe the people at Armstrong have the abilities and determination to overcome our obstacles and thrive, not just survive, in these changing times. I knew that before last week's trek to Atlanta, but it was nice to have that confidence reinforced by feedback from the Chancellor and his staff. Proud to be a Pirate!
Have a great week,
