Five horses were rescued from a Northfield, NH farm on June 6, 2014 due to poor health and deplorable conditions, according to the Union Leader. After a complaint was received by the Northfield police, a search warrant discovered unkempt horses on the property of Bert Southwick, 90, a local man known as "The Egg Man." Southwick has delivered eggs to residents for 75 years.
The farm has a total of 12 horses but only five were removed. Four of the horses went to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue in Chichester and one went elsewhere. The horses residing on the farm were being boarded and the five confiscated were apparently abandoned by their owner, leaving an extra burden on the elderly resident and his one helper. The seven remaining horses have adequate care and shelter, and are within the confines of the law.
Though an investigation is ongoing, it is doubtful Southwick will be charged. He has been in and out of the hospital over the past few years. Northfield police will do a follow up for the horses remaining at the farm.
According to Live and Let Live Farm Rescue's Facebook page, "the farm volunteers who showed up with the police and Department of Agriculture were heckled and taunted by friends of the man who kept these horses in such deplorable conditions."
Live and Let Live Farm Rescue posted the five horses were kept in cow stalls with concrete floors. The horses were standing in piles of their own feces and had urine burns on their legs. The air circulation inside the barn was poor and the horses' hooves and teeth had never been taken care of. Some had no water and the hay was old.
The rescue went on to say the horses were skittish and unsure, nervous about their new surroundings.
Southwick claims himself to be an animal lover, according to WMUR9. His caretaker, Harold Kelley, states that the owner of the five horses had not been to the farm in almost three years and that it is the responsibility of the owner to take care of the horses.
Whatever the outcome of the investigation, the horses will now be taken care of.

Your Toes Never Left The Ground: New $315 Nikes Measure Your Vertical Leap (Among Other Things)
Because what good are shoes if they can't tell you how high you've jumped, how far you've ran, or how many rain puddles you've stepped in, Nike is dropping these sensor-laden $315 LeBron X high-tops next month. Now I know the burning question on everybody's mind, and no, I'm not going to buy a pair. I MIGHT get a pair of aqua socks.
Nike+ uses built in sensors to measure everything from your steps, lunges and leaps, and sends the data to a smart phone app. Just the thing to help the coach see if you're slacking off during practice.
Alternatively, save yourself $300 and use this simple formula to find out how high you jumped: Do you read Geekologie? Then not high enough to dunk.

An Anderson man is in jail tonight after attempted murder of a K-9 officer, Fox Carolina News reported May 9.
Russell Grant, 34, had outstanding warrants on him for running a chop shop in Anderson County. Police were called to a home in the Centerville area where Grant had been spotted.
Upon arrival, Anderson County Sheriff's Department deputies ran information on two vehicles on the property, which came back they had been reported stolen. Additional officers were dispatched the the scene, including K-9 officer Hyco.
Officers spoke with Matthew Martin and Amanda Grant, who told them Grant wasn't on the premises. The Sheriff's helicopter had been circling overhead, and saw no one leave the home.
Amanda Grant gave verbal consent for a house search. After the search, noises were heard underneath the home, leading officers to believe the home had a crawlspace.
A warrant to search the home was obtained, and Hyco went to work. Grant was located in the air conditioning ductwork, where he began punching and kicking the K-9 officer.
According to Sheila Cole with the Anderson County Sheriff's Department, Grant wrapped his legs Hydro's body and his arms around the dogs neck and began choking him.
Hydro, trained to fight back, managed to inflict a bit of damage to Grant as he and his handler fought back. Grant continued to resist arrest. EMS was eventually called, and Grant was taken to AnMed Medical Center, where he was treated for multiple dog bites.
Grant is in custody at Anderson County Detention Center, where he's been charged with nine counts of operating a chop chop, four counts of resisting arrest and one count of attempting to kill a K-9 officer.
Matthew Martin was charged for hindering police in serving a warrant.
Hyco was examined by his vet, and is okay.

It's always so tempting to throw our hair up into a ponytail when we go out during the warm summer months, and, done right, a pony can look deeply glamorous (see for yourself here). But for a special occasion, braided styles are the go-to 'do of the season. Try one of these alluring styles next time you get dressed up. --Angel
Double French Braid
This style combines the classic beauty of a chignon with the playful flirtiness of braids. The result is unexpected and enchanting.
Get the Look: Part hair down the middle and French braid each side going back. Secure the braids with an elastic, then twist up to form a chignon at the nape of the neck.
Side Braid
This is a great way to show off your long locks, without having them on your neck during the hot, sticky months. Oh, and you'll love this -- you won't have to bother with the arsenal of anti-frizz products.
Get the Look: Sweep hair over to one side, then braid (not a French braid) and secure with an elastic. Pull out a few pieces in the front to frame your face.
Braided Ponytail
This is how you turn a simple pony into a posh hairstyle. If you're lacking the length to get the look, you can braid in extensions.
Get the Look: Brush hair back into a high ponytail and braid all the way down, securing the end with an elastic. Leave the braid in for a few hours, then undo the braid about 3/4 of the way up and secure with an elastic.
Hairline Braid
A single braid along the hairline infuses a sophisticated updo with a dash of sweetness. A sensational hair accessory on the unbraided side will put this look over the top.
Get the Look: Part hair on one side, then French braid the parted side back. Pull hair into an elastic and twist into a low chignon, securing with bobby pins.

Four years ago when I started this blog I had never tried an India Pale Ale (IPA). The very first IPA I ever had I nearly poured it out because my palate for hoppy beers hadn't developed. It took a good 6 months for me to develop a taste for the IPA. Now that I enjoy them I look forward to trying more of them.
Today's review was picked up as part of a "make your own" six-pack at my local beer store (Bittersweet Liquors in Greeley). I chose to get 6 different local Colorado IPA's as a warm up for the 1st ever International #IPADay on August 4th, 2011.
I figured what better way to get my mouth ready for hop madness than to have a different IPA per day for the week leading up to #IPADay.
The first IPA I chose was Great Divide Titan IPA from Denver, Colorado. This is one of Great Divide's year-round standards and it weighs in at 7.1% ABV.
Read on for the full review of this IPA.
Appearance: Great Divide Titan IPA poured a beautiful copper-orange color with a hefty off-white head. For a single 12oz bottle that's probably been on the shelf for a while, this brew was still amply carbonated. The brew was clear with no visible residue from yeast or hop.
Aroma:Immediately I smelled a rich aroma of pine and citrus as I would expect of an IPA. I could tell Great Divide put a generous amount of hops in this beer. Titan has around 65 IBU. Behind the hop I could detect a semi-sweet hint of malt.
Mouthfeel:TItan IPA was full bodied and creamy. The bitterness swept over my tongue immediately and dried my mouth slightly. There was just a slight bit of heat initially but that faded after a couple more sips.
Taste:While the hops dominated the initial tasting, the maltiness came across at the end. There was just the right amount of sweet malt to offset the bitterness of the hops. A very well made IPA.
Pairing: I chose to pair this IPA with a mild cheddar and pretzel crackers. Just the right amount of cheese and cracker to take the bite off of the IPA. I always insist on eating some cheese with an IPA as by itself, an IPA will leave you wanting something to counter the hop.
Overall:I was surprised that my first IPA in many months was so good. I've been wanting to try all of Great Divide's line of year-round brews and I'm finally getting around to it. I highly suggest that if you are going to drink an IPA that you stick with that style for the night.
Great Divide has a solid IPA that I think is probably underrated. I never expected the company who puts out one of my favorite Imperial Stouts (Yeti) to score so well with an IPA. Thumbs way up to Great Divide for making a solid IPA that I would be more than happy to buy again.
Have you had a similar experience with Titan IPA? How would you compare it to other Colorado IPAs?

Crabtree beers getting new look
Read the full article here...
Crabtree Brewing of Greeley, Colorado is preparing to unveil all new packaging for many of it's beers. Not only six-packs but also on bombers and 750ml bottles.
Unveiled today on Twitter (@CrabtreeBrewing) is the new packaging for their Serenity Amber Ale coming soon to store shelves near you.
Serenity Amber Ale is describes as a Colorado Amber Ale - unfiltered, slightly hoppy, with a touch of sweet tones finished by a touch of malt.
Another peak at their upcoming artwork came from a new label unveiled on Beerpulse.com for Crabtree's Cezanne Saison coming soon. The saison will be packaged in 750ml bottles and are all bottle conditioned.
The saison is a farmhouse style beer made with orange blossom honey and rye malt.
I managed to get an early 750ml bottle of this and was told to let it finish bottle conditioning until October. That could be the target date for it's debut as well.
Jeff Crabtree also stated on Twitter today that over the course of the next year, all of their beers will debut new label designs. Look for it in the coming months.
Update: Here's the latest label for their digital age series Berliner Weisse.
It's good to see a revamp of artwork every so often. It helps breathe new life into a product. Even though Crabtree has only been in business for a little over 5 years, change can happen in just a short period of time.
I look forward to seeing more of their new label and packaging artwork. What do you think of these new designs?

New Belgium pulls off a Clutch Kick
In a continuing stream of constant news flowing out of Fort Collins lately, New Belgium Brewing Company has announced two new additions to their ever-widening Lips of Faith series of beer.
The first beer called Clutch, a sour stout, is being released in cooperation with the Maryland-based hard rock band with the same name.
A second beer called Kick, a tart pumpkin ale, is a collaboration between New Belgium (NBB) and Elysian Brewing Company of Seattle.
Both of these beers will be available from August through October in 22oz bottles and in kegs as well.
NBB described Clutch saying: "The sour stout has a pronounced bass line of dark chocolate, coffee and black malts that bridge the sourness of the dark wood ale for a fluid riff. Clutch's ABV is 9%."
Kick is described: "The rich and tart pumpkin cranberry ale is blended with wood-aged beer to deliver a uniquely complex harvest season sour. Kick's ABV is 8.5%."
Both of these beers have enough ABV to knock your socks off both with taste and strength. These beers were meant to be shared.
I personally am looking forward to trying Clutch as I am a big fan of sour ales.
You should be able to find these beers on the shelves around Colorado and other states starting early next month. Which one of these are you looking forward to most?

Snow Day to replace 2 Below at New Belgium
It may be in the midst of sweltering summer heat but New Belgium Brewing Company of Fort Collins is already preparing for winter with news of a new seasonal creation.
According to Beerpulse.com, New Belgium's Bryan Simpson has confirmed that their new winter seasonal beer this year will be Snow Day Winter Ale, a dark caramelized wheat brew. The new beer will weigh in around 6.2% ABV.
Their last winter seasonal, 2 Below, is being retired as part of an on-going effort to keep season beers on a new short term rotation. New Belgium wants to be able to experiment and come out with new season beers every 2 years.
This isn't the first time New Belgium has retired a seasonal brew. Recently they discontinued Skinny Dip in favor of a new summer seasonal - Somersault Ale.
While some applaud the newness and innovation, others are going to mourn the retirement of some of their favorites.
I certainly hope they don't get rid of Frambozen as that is one of my all-time favorite seasonal brews from New Belgium. Time will tell.
What's your favorite seasonal brew from New Belgium? Are you sorry to see 2 Below retired? Post a comment and let us know.

New Belgium to explore Belgo year round
New Belgium fans asked for it and they got it - a year round edition of a limited brew.
Today, New Belgium announced that their Lips of Faith brew: Belgo IPA is being reshaped into one of their regular Explore series (year-round) beers.
Previously only available in a 22oz bomber, Belgo IPA will soon be available in 12oz six-packs and be available full time.
Belgo Belgian-style IPA is described as:
"...a Belgian twist on India Pale Ale made with five varieties of hops. Simcoe, Cascade, Centennial, and Amarillo hops are pitched in the kettle. Cascade, Amarillo, and Willamette hops are added during dry-hopping. Medium-bodied, Belgo opens with citrus and floral tones from generous hopping, then gives way to soft fruit tones implied by the authentic Trappist yeast strain and finishes clean."
Even in a smaller bottle, at 8% ABV, this IPA will pack quite a punch. The 70 IBU rating should give hop heads something to look forward to as well.
New Belgium stated that this brew will soon be on the shelves in six-packs in the coming weeks. Look for it.

New Belgium says Yes We Can More Cans
New Belgium is about to get even bigger as it announced on July 7th that it plans to break ground on a new 16,000 square foot can line addition at their Fort Collins brewery.
Once in place, New Belgium's canning volume capacity will expand nearly six fold.
According to a press release, "Cans have been a great addition to the packaging portfolio for us," says Bryan Simpson of NBB. "We first introduced Fat Tire cans in 2008 and we've since added Sunshine Wheat and Ranger IPA. Sales have been ahead of projection and we're fortunate to be able to accommodate demand."
The new can line expansion means instead of filling 60 cans per minute, New Belgium will be able to do 360 cans per minute in either 12oz or 16oz size.
The new addition will be located just east of New Belgium's current bottling facility on their 50-acre campus in Fort Collins, Colorado. New Belgium expects to start using the new canning line as early as February 2012.
I see this as a positive move for New Belgium. It may open up the possibility to seeing even more of their brands in cans. I'd love to see 1554 or even La Folie in a can. Perhaps even a Lips of Faith beer in a can. How sweet would that be?
Which New Belgium beer would you like to see canned? Post your favorite in a comment below.

The album featured the hit single "Young, Wild & Free" featuring Bruno Mars, which has gone on to become 3x-certified Platinum, and a top 10 success on Billboard's "Hot 100 Singles" chart.
O.N.I.F.C. was released December 2012, debuting at #2 on the Billboard "Top 200 Albums" chart and #1 on Billboard's "Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums" and "Top Rap Albums" charts, and #1 on iTunes' "Overall Albums" and "Top Hip-Hop/Rap Albums" charts. Wiz earned himself a nomination at the 56th Annual GRAMMY® Awards for his Platinum-certified single, "Remember You," Ft. The Weeknd in the "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration" category, adding to a career total of 5 nominations.

Delhi to Launch Women Helpline
by Sheela Philomena on December 31, 2012 at 12:25 PM Women Health News - G J E 4
The Delhi government will today launch '181' helpline for offering immediate help to women in distress.
The helpline, which will operate from the Chief Minister's office in Delhi Secretariat, will be connected with all the 185 police stations across the city.
The helpline, which will operate from the Chief Minister's office in Delhi Secretariat, will be connected with all the 185 police stations across the city.
The number '181' can be dialled from landline and mobile phones.
AdvertisementChief Minister Sheila Dikshit had earlier last week announced the setting up of the helpline service amid nationwide uproar over brutal gang-rape of a 23-year-old girl in a moving bus.
Dikshit, who has condemned all incidents of violence and sexual assault against women and emphasized on a dire need to ensure their safety and security, said the Help line number 181, which is for women's cooperation, will begin on Monday.
Telecom Ministry had released the three-digit number following the chief minister's request. This is the first three-digit number to have been allotted by the Ministry in two years.
However, amid outpouring of anger and grief in the country, the body of the 23-year-old gang-rape victim was flown to New Delhi from Singapore early Sunday morning and cremated within hours.
The mortal remains were flown to the capital in a Special Aircraft of Air India and after landing at IGI airport. Family members accompanied the body. The cremation took place under a dense cover of fog.
The girl was gang raped and brutally assaulted by six men in a moving bus in South Delhi on the night of December 16.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – New research has identified a new molecular pathway involving the gene ZNF356. Researchers also found that the abnormalities in that pathway may predict worse outcomes for patients with breast cancer.
"Genomic instability is an increased tendency for abnormal changes in DNA, like the addition of extra copies of chromosomes, DNA breaks and mutations. Because these genetic abnormalities increase the chances for developing a tumor, it is fundamentally important to understand the molecular basis of genomic instability in cancer for prognosis and therapy," Ji-Hye Paik, PhD, Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, N.Y., was quoted as saying.
Researchers demonstrated that p53 activates ZNF365 to maintain genomic stability. They found that cells deficient in ZNF365 showed signs of incomplete doubling of DNA, which caused abnormal cell division and unequally divided chromosomes. Also, researchers concluded that because ZNF365 promotes the timely resolution of cell division, its loss led to an abnormal number of chromosomes (aneuploidy).

For those of you who aren't in the food business, or who don't know who Michael Ruhlman is, I can give you the two minute run-through. A promising writer, he's authored several books related to the culinary field. I reviewed one of his earlier works, "The Soul of a Chef" some years back, but only published my critique recently. (I've included the link at the end of this piece) He keeps a frequently updated website at http://ruhlman.com/ with frequent recipes, gorgeous photographs, a small shop with useful kitchen tools, and even a couple of handy apps for your phone. If you're looking for a go-to other than Alton Brown, some of his other works ('Twenty', 'Shmaltz', and 'Ratio') are pretty safe bets.
I thought I might continue working my way back through more of his publications to give them a proper analysis. I re-read "The Reach of a Chef" and noted some thoughts on the matter.
The book begins with a back-of-house visit to a newly-opening Per Se, Thomas Keller's New York City bastion of excellence, revealing that even the greatest of us have off days- Chef Keller somehow lost his shoes. In his own restaurant! Imagine that. Normal day at the office, and suddenly you're in your socks going 'wait, what the...?!'
This and the following two chapters help to gracefully set the stage for the meat of the book, which goes into detail about the rapid evolution of the chef and the restaurant as concepts in the public eye.
A series of thought-provoking interview snippets from a mix of high-caliber restaurant chefs and veteran instructors at the Culinary Institute of America manage to encompass many facets of the culinary paradigm shift. These range from the treatment of students and development of the culinary educational environment, and the massive potential that expanding scientific understanding has served to develop in the culinary world regarding ingredients and methods of implementation, to things as simple as the exploding variety of visible career paths that can start with the knowledge and love of food.
The next sections take a step back into his earlier book- "The Soul of a Chef" to go into a fair bit more detail about a few people now that their careers have evolved. Touching briefly on CMC candidate Brian Polcyn and Iron Chef Michael Symon, the differing trajectories of the restaurant owners lead into the lengthy discussion of what Ruhlman calls "The Branded Chef". Since no single restaurant can lead lead to the wealth and station that many professionals who pursue excellence in food are long past due, chefs and restaurateurs are modernizing their methodology, finding ways to expand awareness and raise capital that require less physical labor and (more importantly) don't compromise their standards.
The one troublesome thing I found with this book is that while it's engaging, it reads more like a handful of novellas than a comprehensive piece, Very similar to The Soul of a Chef in execution and style, the sections can be a little choppy, the transitioning not smooth as the narratives shift. Rather as if his style is too firmly rooted in short-form narrative to expand to a full length novel.
Metaphorically, Ruhlman's putting out fantastic food, but he keeps dropping his tongs between plate-ups. This is a fantastic read for aspiring culinary professionals and knowing veterans alike, full of keen insight and a well developed all-sides analysis. It's a few years old now, but like the author's other books, they possess a measure of timelessness, a vital component in valuable literature. A few stutter-steps in storytelling are a small price to pay for this superb result.

U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman recently made an announcement that put a smile on the face of anyone who has ever been swindled by a timeshare telemarketer. Last month, a man by the name of Eric Reilly was sentenced to three years for performing with a fraudulent company called Vacation Ownership Group LLC. The 34-year-old admitted to contributing to over $70,000 in losses from timeshare owners in the few years that he worked with them, and the judge who sentenced him (U.S. District Judge Noel Hillman) also ordered him to pay about $3 million in restitution!
Another problem these criminals create is that fact that they namedrop and hurt the reputations of highly acclaimed resorts. For example, Wyndam Resorts has had a great track record for having some of the nicest resort properties in the country. It's a shame that these crooks try to mess up this company's good status in order to try and make vacation property owners pay them large amounts of cash with the hopes of finally selling their timeshare, entirely based on lies.
The core problem is the resale market woes, where most timeshares won't even sell for $1 on Ebay because vacationers who are looking for them find it cheaper to simply visit places using Expedia or Travelosity. That way they don't have to pay any initial (or annual) fees. I mean, think about it. Why would they go all out and buy an entire property if they can get what they want for about the cost of the annual maintenance fee by instead choosing to rent out a timeshare? It's just a smarter choice financially for most folks to book their vacations this way. And there is no sacrifice, as you can book the big resorts like Marriott, Wyndham, Westgate, Sheraton and Hilton's of the world.
That being said, thieves like Reilly know how bad timeshare owners desperately cannot sell, so they try to sound like they are directly associated with these big named and well-respected resorts such as Wyndam Vacation Resorts (the link to the FBI's press release is: http://www.fbi.gov/newark/press-releases/2014/former-employee-of-timesha...)
The FBI is doing all it can to stop timeshare fraud, but hundreds of people still continuously fall for the promises that these aftermarket sharks make, which is mainly just these criminals reading to you from a paper script over the phone with a set of rebuttals to anything that you could say refusing their 'service'. Just because you hear them blurt out a resort's name in their pitch when they call you (like Wyndam, Marriott, or Westgate for example) doesn't mean that they are associated with them AT ALL! They just think that with that extra added 'credibility' that you will automatically feel secure in doing business with them.
Consumers should stay clear of aftermarket sharks that charge huge upfront fees as part of a timeshare fraud scam claiming to sell or cancel a timeshare (or transfer a timeshare interest). Consumers can empower themselves to be safe & savvy by learning more from Consumer Protection Attorney and Governmental Consumer Protectorate Alerts & Advisories at TCPAA.org
Settlements through cooperative agreements can be the safest and most certain solution for consumers. For legal timeshare divestment, there are Consumer Protection Attorneys like those at The Abrams Firm to help you in your journey to get out of the "timeshare trap". Often less money than non-Lawyer services and the most important part is NO upfront fees the services of a licensed attorney can be used to cancel a timeshare contract permanently. Have your family Lawyer call (360) 918-8196, or you can set up a complimentary case evaluation with a Consumer Lawyer at TheAbramsFirm.com.

Well topic exlpains my question pretty much. Why after posting wrong answer wich gets downvotes and deleting it negative reputation disapperas?
It encourages self-policing. Otherwise multiple other users will have to agree that the post should be closed and/or deleted. (The details vary depending on whether the post is a question or an answer.) If the OP deletes by themselves, it is that much work saved for other people. Hopefully, they also gain some realization as they delete their post that it was not a good post in the first place.
If you are concerned about people posting terrible stuff, deleting it, regaining their rep and reposting again, know that the ban algorithms also look at posts that were deleted. So someone who makes a habit of it will soon be banned from posting altogether.

Hey you.
Yes, you.
Come a little closer. I have something to tell you. A secret. And you need to hear it.
You are not superwoman.
Even better than that, no one expects you to be superwoman. Except yourself, of course.
See, here's the deal. The people around you? They love you. They want you to be happy. They want the best for you and they want the best of you. Which means you have to stop demanding so much of yourself.
Stop giving the best of yourself to the things that don't matter. Start saving those best parts for the ones that love you. That need you. That want you to be happy.
How do I know this? Because I'm not superwoman either, and I'm just learning to accept that.
When 2011 dawned I started a new organizational system in quite an unplanned way. It wasn't regimented or overanalyzed, it just sort of happened. My sweet husband tucked a box of sticky notes into my Christmas stocking because the little holder they came in matched my desk accessories. Those little Post-Its were just dying, begging to be used. So everyday, I used one. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Before I knew it, it was a habit. A resolution I didn't even know I had made. Each morning I organized my thoughts with a Post It. What had to be accomplished today? Those things were placed on the list and stuck onto a convenient little spot on my desk organizer, right within my view.
And guess what I discovered?
A Post-It note is magically managable. If it fits on a Post It, it fits in my day. If not, it waits until tomorrow (or next Wednesday). Think about it. How many things can you fit onto a 3in x 3in sheet of paper? For me it's eight (if I write small and in the margins). And I can accomplish eight things, happily, in a day.
Of course, Superwoman could do more than 8 things. But I'm not Superwoman. And you aren't either.
Embrace it. Love it. Believe it.
You're so much better off that way. And so are the ones that love you.

The fabrication of titanium product forms into complex shapes is routine for many fabricators. These shops recognized long ago that titanium is not an exotic material requiring exotic fabrication techniques. They quickly learned that titanium is handled much like other high performance engineering materials, provided titanium's unique properties are taken into consideration.
Important differences between titanium and steel or nickel-base alloys need to be recognized. These are:
• Titanium's lower density
• Titanium's lower modulus of elasticity
• Titanium's higher melting point
• Titanium's lower ductility
• Titanium's propensity to gall
• Titanium's sensitivity toward contamination during welding
Compensation for these differences allows titanium to be fabricated, using techniques similar to those with stainless steel or nickel-base alloys. This article deals with common operations used in fabricating titanium. The information given is intended to be used as guidelines. It is by no means exhaustive.
The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. It is not uncommon for shops which handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. The area set aside for titanium should be free of air drafts, moisture, dust, grease and other contaminants which might find their way into or onto the metal.
Titanium and most titanium alloys are readily weldable, using several welding processes. Properly made welds in the as-welded condition are ductile and, in most environments, are as corrosion resistant as base metal. Improper welds, on the other hand, might be embrittled and less corrosion-resistant compared to base metal.
The techniques and equipment used in welding titanium are similar to those required for other high-performance materials, such as stainless steels or nickel-base alloys. Titanium, however, demands greater attention to cleanliness and to the use of auxiliary inert gas shielding than these materials. Molten titanium weld metal must be totally protected from contamination by air. Also, hot heat-affected zones and root side of titanium welds must be shielded until temperatures drop below 800°F (427°C).
Titanium reacts readily with air, moisture, grease, dirt, refractories, and most other metals to form brittle compounds. Reaction of titanium with gases and fluxes makes common welding processes such as gas welding, shielded metal arc, flux cored arc, and submerged arc welding unsuitable. Likewise, welding titanium to most dissimilar metals is not feasible, because titanium forms brittle compounds with most other metals; however, titanium can be welded to zirconium, tantalum and niobium.
In spite of the precautions, which need to be taken, many fabricators are routinely and economically welding titanium, making sound, ductile welds at comparable rates to many other high performance materials. One of the important benefits of welding the commercially pure grades of titanium is that they are over 99% pure titanium and there is no concern for segregation. The same is true of weld wire or rod in commercially pure grades.
Most titanium welding today is done in the open fabrication shop, although chamber welding is still practiced on a limited basis. Field welding is common. Wherever the welding is done, a clean environment is necessary in which to weld titanium. A separate area, specifically set aside for the welding of titanium, aids in making quality welds. This area should be kept clean and should be isolated from dirt-producing operations such as grinding, torch cutting and painting. In addition, the welding area should be free of air drafts and humidity should be controlled.
Titanium and its alloys are most often welded with the gas tungsten-arc (GTA or TIG) and gas metal-arc (GMA or MIG) welding processes. Resistance, plasma arc, electron beam and friction welding are also used on titanium to a limited extent. All of these processes offer advantages for specific situations. However, the following discussion will be concerned primarily with GTA and GMA welding. Many of the principles discussed are applicable to all processes.
The GTA process can be used to make butt joints without filler metal in titanium base sheet of up to about 1/8-inch thickness. Heavier sections generally require the use of filler metal and grooved joints. Either the GTA or GMA welding process can be used, although GMA welding is more economical for sections heavier than about one-half inch. If the GTA process is used, care should be exercised to prevent contact of the tungsten electrode with the molten puddle, thereby preventing tungsten pickup.
A conventional power supply, connected D.C. straight polarity (DCSP), is used for GTA welding of titanium. Reverse polarity (DCRP) is used for GMA welding of titanium. A remote controlled contactor allows the arc to be broken without removal of the torch from the cooling weld metal, thereby maintaining inert gas shielding. Foot operated current and contactor control, high frequency arc starting and shielding gas timers are other desirable features.
A water-cooled welding torch, equipped with a 3/4-inch ceramic cup and a gas lens, is recommended for GTA welding of titanium. A one-inch cup may be required for GMA welding. Thoriated tungsten electrodes (usually 2% thoria) are recommended for GTA welding of titanium. Pointed electrodes (end blunted) help to control arc characteristics. The smallest diameter electrode which can carry the required current should be used.
Protection needs to be provided to titanium weldments on cooling down to about 800°F (427°C) as well as to the molten weld puddle in order to prevent contamination by air. During GTA and GMA welding, argon or helium shielding gases of welding grade with dewpoint of -50°F (-46°C) or lower are used to provide the necessary protection. Separate gas supplies are needed for:
• Primary shielding of the molten weld puddle.
• Secondary shielding of cooling weld deposit and associated heat affected zones.
• Backup shielding of the backside of weld and associated heat affected zones.
Primary shielding of the molten weld puddle is provided by proper selection of the welding torch. Standard water-cooled welding torches equipped with large (3/4 or 1-inch) ceramic cups and gas lenses, are suitable for titanium. The large cup is necessary to provide adequate shielding for the entire molten weld puddle. The gas lens provides uniform, nonturbulent inert gas flow.
Argon is generally used in preference to helium for primary shielding at the torch because of better arc stability characteristics. Argon-helium mixtures can be used if higher voltage, hotter arc and greater penetration are desired. Manufacturer's recommended gas flow rates to the torch should be used. Flow rates in the vicinity of 20 cfh have proven satisfactory in practice. Excess flow to the torch may cause turbulence and loss of shielding. The effectiveness of primary shielding should be evaluated prior to production welding. An arc can be struck on a scrap piece of titanium with the torch held still and with shielding gas only on the torch. The shielding gas should be continued after a molten puddle forms and the arc is extinguished, until the weld cools. Uncontaminated, i.e., properly shielded, welds will be bright and silvery in appearance.
Secondary shielding is most commonly provided by trailing shields. The function of the trailing shield is to protect the solidified titanium weld metal and associated heat-affected zones until temperature reaches 800°F (427°C) or lower. Trailing shields are generally custom-made to fit a particular torch and a particular welding operation. Design of the trailing shield should be compact and allow for uniform distribution of inert gas within the device. The possible need for water-cooling should also be considered, particularly for large shields. Porous bronze diffusers have provided even and nonturbulent flow of inert gas from the shield to the weld.
The prime purpose of backup devices is to provide inert gas shielding to the root side of welds and their heat-affected zones. Such devices often look much like trailing shields and may be hand-held, or clamped or taped into position. Water-cooled copper backup bars (or massive metal bars) may also be used as heat sinks to chill the welds. These bars are grooved, with the groove located directly below (or above) the weld joint. About 10 cfh of inert gas flow per linear foot of groove is required for adequate shielding.
Makeshift shielding devices are often employed very effectively with titanium welds under shop or field conditions. These include use of plastic to completely enclose the workpiece and flood it with inert gas. Likewise, aluminium or stainless steel foil "tents," taped over welds and flooded with inert gas, are used as backup shields. When such techniques are used, it is important that all air, which will contaminate welds, be purged from the system. An inert gas purge equal to ten times the volume of the air removed is a good rule-of-thumb for irregular spaces. A moderate rate of inert gas should be maintained until the weld is completed.
Argon is generally selected in preference to helium for use in trailing shields and backup devices, primarily because of cost but also because it is more dense. Helium, with its lower density, is sometimes used for trailing or backup shielding when the weld is above the device. It is important that separate flow controls are available for primary, secondary and backup shielding devices. Timer controlled pre-purge and post-purge of torch shielding, and solenoid valves with manual switches interlocked with the welding current for secondary and backup shielding are also useful.
Weld joint designs for titanium are similar to those for other metals. The joint design selected for titanium however, must permit proper inert gas shielding of both root and face during welding as well as post-weld inspection of both sides of the weld. The joint surfaces must be smooth, clean and completely free of contamination. All burn marks produced by grinding or mechanical filing should be removed by filing. Likewise, burrs and sharp edges should be removed with a sharp file. The use of sandpaper or steel wool, which leave particles behind, can be a source of contamination. Good joint fit-up is important for titanium. Uniform fit-up minimizes burn-through and controls underbead contour. Poor fit-up may increase the possibility of contamination from air trapped in the joint, particularly with butt joints on light gauge material. Maintenance of joint opening during welding is important. Clamping to prevent joint movement during welding is recommended. If tack welds are used, the same care in cleaning and inert gas shielding must be exercised, as with any and all titanium welds, to prevent contamination. Any cracked or contaminated tack welds must be removed before final welding.
Before welding titanium, it is important that weld joints and weld wire be free of mill scale, dirt, dust, grease, oil, moisture and other potential contaminants. Inclusion of these foreign substances in titanium weld metal could degrade properties and corrosion resistance. Weld wire is clean as packaged by the manufacturer. If wire appears to be dirty, wiping with a non-chlorinated solvent, prior to use, is good practice. In severe cases, acid cleaning may be required. All joint surfaces and surfaces of base plate for a distance of at least an inch back from the joint need to be cleaned. Normal pickled mill surfaces generally require only scrubbing with household cleaners or detergents, followed by thorough rinsing with hot water and air drying. Alternatively, wiping of weld joints and adjacent areas with nonchlorinated solvents such as acetone, toluene, or methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), using clean lint-free cloths or cellulose sponges, is acceptable, provided no residue remains. The solvents are particularly effective in removing traces of grease and oil. Solvent cleaning should be followed by wire brushing, using a new stainless steel brush. Under no circumstances should steel brushes or steel wool be used on titanium because of the dangers to corrosion resistance which embedded iron particles pose.
Light oxide films, as might result from heating in the range 600°-800°F (316-427°) for forming operations, can be removed by brushing with a new stainless steel wire brush. Light grinding, draw filing and acid pickling are also effective. An acceptable pickle bath for titanium is 35 vol.% nitric (70% concentration), and 5 vol.% hydrofluoric acid (48% concentration) used at room temperature. Dipping of weld joint areas for 1 to 15 minutes (depending on the activity of the bath) should be sufficient.
A cold water rinse to remove acid, followed by a hot water rinse to facilitate drying, completes the cleaning. Heavy scale and oxygen-contaminated surfaces, such as might be present after a high temperature heat treatment, are best removed by mechanical means. Grinding, and sand or grit blasting are commonly used. Molten caustic baths, although useful, require care to minimize the possibility of hydrogen pickup. After scale removal, an acid pickle should be used to remove all residue and improve surface appearance.
Once cleaned, joints should be carefully preserved. Handling should be minimized and welding should commence as soon after cleaning as is possible. When not being worked on, weld joints should be kept covered with paper or plastic to avoid accumulation of contaminants.
Titanium welding wire is covered by AWS A5.16-70 Specification ("Titanium and Titanium-Alloy Bare Welding Rods and Electrodes"). It is generally good practice to select a filler metal matching the properties and composition of the titanium base metal grade. However, for both commercially pure grades and alloys, selecting a weld wire one strength level below the base metal is also done. Special situations may require a different grade of filler wire to give desired combination of joint properties.
In addition to clean joints and weld wire, proper parameters, and proper inert gas shielding, welder technique requires attention when titanium is being welded. Improper technique can be a source of weld contamination. Before starting an arc in welding titanium, it is good practice to prepurge the torch, trailing shield and backup shield to be sure all air is removed. Whenever possible, high frequency arc starting should be used. Scratch starting with tungsten electrodes is a source of tungsten inclusions in titanium welds. On extinguishing the arc, the use of current downslope and a contactor, controlled by a single foot pedal, is encouraged. Torch shielding should be continued until the weld metal cools below 800°F (427°C).
Secondary and backup shielding should also be continued. A straw or blue colour on the weld is indicative of premature removal of shielding gas. Preheating is not generally needed for titanium shop welds. However, if the presence of moisture is suspected, due to low temperature, high humidity, or wet work area, preheating may be necessary. Gas torch heating (slightly oxidizing flame) of weld surfaces to about 150°F (66°) is generally sufficient to remove moisture.
The arc length for welding titanium without filler metal should be about equal to the electrode diameter. If filler metal is added, maximum arc length should be about 1-1/2 times the electrode diameter. Filler wire should be fed into the weld zone at the junction of the weld joint and arc cone. Wire should be fed smoothly and continuously into the puddle. An intermittent dipping technique causes turbulence and may result in contamination of the hot end of the wire on removal from the shield. The contaminants are then transferred to the weld puddle on the next dip. Whenever the weld wire is removed from the inert gas shielding, the end should be clipped back about 1/2-inch to remove contaminated metal. Interpass temperatures should be kept low enough, such that additional shielding is not required.
Cleaning between passes is not necessary if the weld bead remains bright and silvery. Straw or light blue weld discoloration can be removed by wire brushing with a clean stainless steel wire brush. Contaminated weld beads, as evidenced by a dark blue, grey or white powdery colour, must be completely removed by grinding. The joint must then be carefully prepared and cleaned before welding again.
Prior to making production welds on titanium, procedures and techniques should be closely evaluated. For pressure vessel construction, the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX (Welding Qualification), details procedure and performance tests which must be met. Tensile and bend tests on trial welds made under conditions intended for production are the acceptance criteria. Impact or notch tensile tests may also be required, particularly for low temperature applications. Once good procedures are established, as evidenced by tensile and bend tests, they should be strictly followed in subsequent production welding.
Bend tests evaluate ductility. For this reason, the bend test made on preproduction trial welds or on extensions of production welds made for that purpose, provides a good evaluation of weld quality. A bend sample in which the weld is positioned perpendicular to the bend axis assures uniform straining of weld metal and heat-affected zones, thereby giving more meaningful results. Table 1 lists weld bend radii for various titanium alloys.
Table 1. Bend radii for titanium welds
ASTM Grade
Weld Bend Radius
Good quality welds should be capable of being bent to the indicated radii without cracking. Problems with titanium welds are generally a result of contamination due to inadequate shielding. The colour of welds can be used as an indicator of shielding effectiveness and, indirectly, weld quality. Thus, any indication of the quality level of a single pass titanium weld is readily apparent to the welder and any inspector. Weld colours reflect the degree to which the weld was exposed to oxygen (air) at elevated temperature. A bright silvery metallic lustre generally can be taken as an indication of a good weld, provided the weld joint was clean and good techniques were followed. The presence of other colours, as indicated in the Table 2, represents various degrees of surface and weld contamination and require attention.

Metal contamination. Welds should be removed and done over after corrections in shielding are made.
White (loose deposit)
Metal contamination. Welds should be removed and done over after corrections in shielding are made
Hardness measurements on weld vs. base metal are also sometimes used as an indicator of weld quality. Normally, uncontaminated weld hardness is no more than 30 points greater on the Knoop, Vickers or Brinell hardness scales (5 points Rockwell B) than the hardness of base metal of matching composition. It should be recognized that heat-to-heat variation in chemistry, within specifications, can result in hardness differentials somewhat higher than 30 Knoop or Brinell without any contamination. In any event, high weld hardness should be cause for concern because of the possibility of contamination.
The ASME Code suggests that, if titanium weld metal hardness is more than 40 BHN greater than base metal hardness, excessive contamination is possible. Substantially greater hardness differential necessitates removal of the affected weld-metal area. The Code further specifies that all titanium welds be examined by liquid penetrant. In addition, full radiography of many titanium joints is required by the Code.
Resistance spot welding, seam welding and butt welding are performed on titanium in much the same manner as for other metals. As with arc welding, careful attention to cleanliness of metal surfaces and to protection of weld metal and heat affected zones from contamination by air are important.
Preparation of titanium for resistance spot or seam welding is similar to that for other metals. The surface must be clean, free of scale, oxide, dirt, paint, grease, and oil. Cleaning of mill surfaces with commercial, nonchlorinated solvents which leave no residue is satisfactory. Light oxide scale, such as is present after elevated temperature forming has been performed, should be removed by acid pickling or by wire brushing with a clean stainless steel wire brush.
Inert gas shielding of resistance spot and seam welds is often not required. The close proximity of mating surfaces in combination with the very short duration of the resistance weld cycle and squeeze pressure all help to exclude air from the weld. If a deep blue, grey or whitish colour develops on the surface of titanium after resistance spot or seam welding, consideration must be given to altering weld parameters or providing inert gas shielding.
Equipment and parameters for resistance spot or seam welding titanium are the same as are required for austenitic stainless steel. As with any welding procedure to be used on titanium, test resistance spot and seam welds should be made on titanium, prior to production welds. Tension-shear tests will help to determine quality of the welds made. Once parameters and procedures are verified as producing quality welds consistently, these should be adhered to strictly during production runs.
Resistance butt welding and a variation, stud welding, are interesting techniques which are sometimes used on titanium. Clean, oxide-free abutting surfaces are a must. Flow of current through the workpiece causes arcing and resistance heating, bringing temperature close to the melting point. At the proper temperature, the workpieces are forced together, pushing molten and plastic metal out of the joint. Successful welds have been made in air. However, inert gas shielding may be required for contamination-free welds.
The resistance butt weld technique has been used to successfully join titanium to dissimilar metals such as copper alloys, steels and stainless steels as well as other titanium alloys. Test welds should be made and carefully analysed to establish proper parameters to be followed on production welds.
Several brazing techniques are applicable to titanium. These include induction brazing, resistance brazing and furnace brazing in an argon atmosphere or in vacuum. Torch brazing is not applicable to titanium. Since brazing techniques have the potential for contaminating titanium surfaces, cleanliness is important and consideration should be given to argon or helium gas shielding. Alloys for brazing titanium to itself or other metals are titanium-base (70Ti-15Cu-15Ni), silver-base (various), or aluminium-base (various). The titanium base alloy requires temperatures in the vicinity of 1700°F (927°C), whereas the silver and aluminium-base alloys require 1650°F (899°C) and 1100°-1250°F (593°-677°C) respectively. If corrosion resistance is important, tests should be run on brazed joints in the intended environment prior to use. The titanium-base alloy reportedly offers superior resistance to atmospheric corrosion and saline environments.
Heat treatment of titanium fabrications is not normally necessary. Annealing may be necessary following severe cold work if restoration of ductility or improved machinability are desired. A stress relief treatment is sometimes employed following severe forming or welding to avoid cracking or distortion due to high residual stresses, or to improve fatigue resistance. Cleanliness of titanium parts to be heat treated is important because of the sensitivity of titanium to contamination at elevated temperatures. Titanium fabrications should be cleaned carefully prior to heating, using nonchlorinated solvents or a detergent wash, followed by a thorough water rinse. Handling following cleaning should be minimized to avoid potential surface contamination.
Most titanium grades are typically stress-relieved at about 1000°F (538°C) for 45 minutes and annealed at 1300°F (704°C) for two hours. A slightly higher stress relief temperature [1100°F (593°C), 2 hrs.] and annealing temperature [1450°F (788°C), 4 hrs.] are appropriate for the Grade 5 alloy. Air cooling is generally acceptable.
Although no special furnace equipment or protective atmosphere is required for titanium, a slightly oxidizing atmosphere is recommended to prevent pickup of hydrogen. Direct flame impingement for extended periods, leading to temperatures in excess of 1200°F (649°C), should be avoided because of the potential for contamination and embrittlement. Hydrogen or cracked ammonia atmospheres, also, should never be used, because their use would lead to excessive hydrogen pick-up, and embrittlement.
If a scale removal treatment, following a high temperature (1200°F; 649°C) anneal is not feasible, a vacuum or inert gas (dry argon or helium) atmosphere is recommended. Superficial surface discoloration, caused by annealing below 1200°F (649°C), may be removed by acid pickling in a 35% nitric acid – 5% hydrofluoric acid bath at 125°F (52°C). However, if long heating times or temperatures above 1200°F (649°C) have been used, a molten caustic bath or mechanical descaling treatment, followed by nitrichydrofluoric acid pickling, is necessary to remove scale.

Kylie Jenner made headlines over the weekend when she was pulled over by the police in Los Angeles as she was driving too fast. Photographers were there to capture the entire situation and she looks rather upset about the speeding ticket. Of course, both Kylie and Kendall Jenner have been criticized over their driving, because they are often texting and driving. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 5, Kylie Jenner may have gotten a ticket but one has to wonder if she was chased by photographers.
On an episode of the show, Kylie was driving with her daughter Bruce Jenner when they were chased by photographers. Bruce ended up getting out of the car so one has to wonder if Kylie was being chased by photographers when she was speeding.
But it is also possible that she was heading to the salon to fix her hair. The day before she was pulled over, she shared a Keek video about her visit to a salon, where she complained about the work she had done. She was planning to cut more off and go a little lighter the next day, which was the day she was pulled over.
What do you think of her getting a speeding ticket?

winner of Best Paper Award Journal of Map and Geography Libraries/Geoscapes
It gives the Co-Editors of the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries great pleasure to announce that the article authored by Marco Petrella, "Guillaume DeLisle's Carte du Duche de Bourgogne: the Role of Central and Peripheral Authorities in the Construction of a Provincial Territory in France in the Early 18th Century" has won the Best Paper of the Year Award for Volume 5 (2009). This paper was the unanimous choice of the award committee, based on it meeting all aspects of the committee's selection criteria. Members of the selection committee noted "it has the most relevance to current issues and trends from an international perspective, has wide ranging relevance to practitioners, high value and was very well presented." Mr. Petrella's enthusiasm for historical cartographic research and attention to detail are clearly present in his article about one of early cartography's well-known masters, Guillaume Delisle, and his map that moved the science and art of mapmaking in a new direction. The waning years of King Louis XIV's reign saw major changes in society, particularly in the historical timeframe that has come to be known as the Age of Enlightenment, with shifts in political power, military situations, and broader access to knowledge. Delisle's map, Carte du Duche de Bourgogne, produced in two sheets in 1709, is but one reflection of a host of these changes. Mr. Petrella states, "One of the objectives of this paper is that of reconstructing the evolution of those relationships, which significantly show the passage from the absolutism of Louis XIV to the crisis of the centralizing model." This article brings out a host of information on many levels, from the founding of France's Royal Academy of Sciences (Academie Royale des Sciences) in 1666 and Delisle's role and position within it, to the military situation of the time and how that impacted information shown on the map. It also includes a description of the person of Guillaume Delisle, and his trials and tribulations, and includes the bigger picture of the creation and recognition of a new political province in France, Burgundy. It is a fascinating read with the interplay of various forces at different levels and times, was extensively researched as witnessed by the voluminous footnotes, and is enhanced by several illustrations of not only the specific map in question, but parts of others that played a role in the creation of the Carte du Duche de Bourgogne. Finally, another outcome of this article is that it shows the importance of retaining manuscript and archival materials; many of the details surrounding the creation of this historic map would not be known today had the associated records and maps not been kept and safeguarded for future generations. Congratulations are extended to Marco Petrella for providing readers and researchers everywhere an article that is informative, insightful, and eye-catching, and that will extend conversations about the history of mapmaking in France into the future. Note: this announcement will be published in the forthcoming Vol. 6, No. 1 (Jan. 2010) issue of the journal. Paige Andrew, Kathy Weimer and Mary Lynette Larsgaard Co-Editors, Journal of Map and Geography Libraries/Geoscapes

As concerned about the environment, the Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resort in cooperation with the Goethe Institute Jakarta held the Science Day program in the Hotel Santika Siligita, Saturday (Nov 3). The activity involving the students of SD Negeri 5 Benoa, South Kuta, elementary school was commenced with cleanup services on the Mengiat Beach and resumed by watching educational movies.
"Global warming that changes the ecosystem of living beings has a great influence on the water availability on earth. That's why we organize the Science Day and Science Film Festival with the theme of water," said Corporate General Manager of PT Grahawita Santika, Guido Andriano, accompanied by Corporate Marketing Communication, Vivi Herlambang.
Bali remained to become the option to hold the event. Aside from having been the destination of the world, the Bali Island had also been famous for its beautiful beaches and exotic culture. "They all should be well maintained to persistently become an attraction," he said.
Through the activity, the Santika Indonesia Hotels & Resorts expected it could participate in mitigating the effect of global warming and providing knowledge to participants. By watching movies, they were taught to distinguish dry waste from wet waste. By all means, it was a very valuable lesson. (BTN/015)

Prior to 1828:All lamps in the City of Boston are oil lamps. Some are on the Public Way and others are installed on private property. There is no rhyme or reason for the installation during these years
The Boston Gas Company installs the first gas lamp in Haymarket Square as a demonstration lamp. The gas source is manufactured gas made from coal, not the natural gas used today.
The City of Boston installs the first gas street light in the Faneuil Hall area.
First electric lights installed in Boston's Scolly Square.
Oil lamps converted to naphtha gas, a derivative of gasoline.
Open flame gas lamps converted to mantle. Mantle provides 4 times the wattage of open flame. (Manufactured gas is used in all lamps until natural gas is introduced by the Boston Gas Company in 1960.)
First tungsten electric lamps installed. Some are still in use in the North End today.
Naphtha lamps replaced by tungsten electric lamps throughout the entire city due to the rising cost of naphtha. Those that have to remain due to lack of electrical facilities are converted to manufactured gas lights.
Last of the gas lamps in city proper converted to electric.
Last of the gas lamps in what was called Lower Roxbury converted to electric lamps.
Clocks installed on gas lamps and wound once per week. Lamps previously lit at night by lamp lighters using torches.
Mercury vapor electric lamps installed on major streets. Mercury vapor lamps last five years or more while the formerly used incandescent lamps only lasted nine months.
Last gas lamps installed in residential districts.
City takes over maintenance of gas lamps from American Service Co and hires 3 of their employees to take over the servicing of gas lamps in Boston. These are the first lamps maintained by City employees since 1899.
The changeover of electric lamps back to gas in historic neighborhoods begins. The first such installation occurs at 94 Chestnut Street on Beacon Hill in August. These changeovers continue until the 1990s and include areas such as Marlborough Street in the Back Bay, Bay Village, and the historical areas of Charlestown and the North End. These installations take place while these same roadways are reconstructed under various City, State, and Federal reconstruction projects.
Government Center urban renewal program begins. City makes first purchase of lights. Formation of St Lighting Division in Public Works begins.
As urban renewal projects grow, so does the City of Boston street lighting system. As major reconstruction of streets in Roxbury continues, the number of City-owned lights increases. Lights installed during this reconstruction project are installed at no cost to the City.
City introduces sodium lighting, a form of electric lighting, in response to requests for higher intensity lamps in the business district.
Urban renewal projects continue. Many areas such as the South End, Back Bay, Charlestown and Roxbury benefit from these projects. New roadways are built, which include new City-owned street lights.
The Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) gets involved in the beautification of streets in Boston. The Fenway area is one that receives funding from the BRA to make street improvements, including new City-owned street lights.
Late 1970's - Early 1980's
A major MBTA Project – the Southwest Corridor Project – gets underway to replace the existing overhead orange line along Washington Street. This project involves streets from the Back Bay to Jamaica Plain. The Federal Government, under the Urban Systems Project, gets involved with the reconstruction of several major thoroughfares in the City during this time period. Streets like Blue Hill Ave, Tremont Street, and Columbus Ave are totally reconstructed with new roads, sidewalks, and lighting.
Proposition 2½ curtails the number of new installations by the City of Boston. But, as the decade continues, the City begins to install lights under its Capital Improvement program. The City, as part of mitigation agreements, has private developers install lights at no cost to the City. The City takes over maintenance and operation after the lights are installed. During the 1970s, 80s and 90s, the City of Boston Street Lighting system grows in leaps and bounds from a few thousand street lights to well over 30,000 lights. The purpose of the new street lighting system is to replace the old, expensive Boston Edison lighting system with one owned and designed by the City.
Installation of the new street lighting system continues. Many neighborhood centers that had new lights installed in the 1970s are rebuilt. The Period style lighting boom in Boston's neighborhood shopping districts begins. Mattapan Square, Cleary Square, and Roslindale Village have more pedestrian scale lighting installed, replacing Cobra head style lights of the 1970s. Roadways are continually reconstructed under a variety of Federal, State, City and Private developers. This reconstruction adds to the overall number of street lights owned and maintained by the City of Boston.
The City's street lighting system grows with many projects funded by Federal, State, City, and private developers. Several major streets are reconstructed during this decade. Streets include Hyde Park Avenue, Washington Street in the South End and Roxbury, Centre Street in West Roxbury, Cambridge Street, Washington Street, Brighton Avenue, and Commonwealth Ave in Brighton and Boston Proper. A major Highway project which began in the late 1980s, the Central Artery project, comes to its conclusion. The area affected by the project includes Boston Proper, Charlestown, South Boston, and East Boston. The project realigned several streets and new City-owned street lights were installed. This project increases the number of City owned lights by approximately 1,000. In total, projects completed in the 2000s bring the total of City owned street lights to 67,000.
The City buys 23,000 lights from Boston Edison. This purchase saves the City of Boston approximately three million dollars in the first year alone.
