Let me add to the previous message that stand develoment is more appropriate for printing with reglar silver gelatin papers than with AZO. I doubt very much that you would be able to get a high enough CI for AZO using a 3:3:600 dilution of Pyrocat-HD with stand development.
I am really not sure what you hoped to achieve with this extreme dilution, assuming the final objective is AZO printing. My tests would indicate that you could handle an SBR of 9 with the 2:2:100 dilution of Pyrocat-HD with a development time of around 7-8 minutes. This should give you a negative with a DR of about 1.3 (Visual) or 1.6 (Blue) that would be just about right for AZO.

Good point re: focus shift -- I did the test outdoors and had to stop down partially. I'll do it again in lower light tomorrow.
I just looked through the viewfinder a few minutes ago, and when I focus and then press the depth of field button, the split prism (which works down to about f5.6) is way off. I say off, because it doesn't agree with the ground glass; and at long distances it would call for focus adjustments that are plainly absurd. I guess the plot thickens.

Several Killed in Blast on Iranian Pilgrims' Bus in Syria
Dozens hurt in attack in which Syrian interior minister says 'no terrorism factor' was involved.
Syria on Thursday denied terrorism was behind a bomb blast that ripped through a bus carrying Iranian pilgrims near a major Shi'ite religious shrine in Damascus, leaving at least three dead.
The official Syrian news agency reported that the blast was caused by a blown out tire. The tire blew while the driver and the owner of a repair shop and another employee were trying to repair, killing all three. Though earlier reports indicated that at least a dozen people had been killed, the news agency confirmed that only three were dead.
"There was no terrorism factor behind the bus incident," Syrian Interior Minister Said Sammour said. "The bus entered a petrol station to have one of its burst tires inflated and the tire exploded. Three people were killed."
The blast took place as Saeed Jalili, Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, was visiting Damascus for meetings with Syrian officials.
"Body parts are still scattered around the bus," a witness told Reuters. Several more people were wounded in the explosion in the Sayyeda Zainab area in Damascus.

Other witnesses said the rear part of the bus was ripped open. Buildings around the site of the blast sustained damage and glass from broken windows littered the street.
Lebanon's al-Manar television, mouthpiece of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group, said at least one of the dead was an Iranian national.
A doctor at a nearby hospital said the hospital had an undisclosed number of people being treated from wounds.
Syria has been hit by bomb attacks in recent years. A car bomb attack on a security complex near Damascus airport killed 17 people in September 2008. That attack was blamed on Lebanon-based Islamist militant group with links to al-Qaida.
Syrian security forces deployed in the area, a popular destination for Shi'ites from Iran and Lebanon, and were investigating the blast. There was no official word on the explosion from the authorities.
Bomb attacks, along with a series of attacks against targets in Syria in the last three years, including U.S. and Israeli raids, has shaken the image of stability in a country that has recently emerged from international isolation.

MONROEVILLE Myth: Monroeville's income tax affects a person's pension and Social Security.
Fact: It only affects a person's earned income.
"There's a lot of myths and a lot of confusion as to who pays and who doesn't," village administrator Josh Eggleston said. "We want to debunk some of those myths."
Village officials are trying to do so ahead of a proposed one-half percent income tax increase on November's ballot. It will mark the second time in as many years officials ask Monroeville voters to approve a one-half percent income tax proposal.
Last year's measure failed 292 to 140, or 68 percent to 32 percent. Had it passed, the measure would have raised about $240,000 annually for various village services.
Monroeville enacted its current 1-percent income tax in 1986. It has never increased, according to village councilman Robert Simon in a letter to the Reflector.
"Even though the percentage has not gone up, the amount of revenue the village collects climbs," countered a resident responding online to Simon's letter. "I mean, if you made for example $30,000 back in 1986 you paid $300 or 1 percent to the village. Now if you make $40,000 you pay $400. So the village makes more money."
Village Clerk/Treasurer Bonnie Beck said the village also depends, for example, on local government revenue assistance from the state. However, after 9/11, state officials placed a freeze on those funds, and have yet to lift it.
The village instituted a wage freeze in 2004, and since that time has not enacted a wage increase larger than 25 cents an hour, Beck said.
"I can't remember the last time we added a new position," Beck added.
"We've tried to stay above water in the last few years and now we have some capital improvements catching up to us," Eggleston said.
Beck said interest rates have plummeted from nearly six percent to one percent and haven't topped 4 1/2 percent since 9/11.
"That's revenue that you count on to put toward your expenditures," she said.
Street paving, sewer work, building maintenance, and the ability to receive grant money has suffered, Simon said. While the village cut services in the wake of last year's levy's failure, more could be on the way, he added.
An alternative to an income tax increase would be special assessments to property owners. The village would added them to real estate taxes home owners now pay.
"If that would happen, many of our older retired residents would be forced to sell their homes," Simon said. "They would not be financially able to pay the special assessments."

The trade deadline has come and gone, and you've seen Chris Sheridan's take on this season's 16 deals.
30 teams, 30 outcomes
Now check out our evaluation of how all 30 teams approached the deadline and how they came out on the other side.
• Click here to read evaluations of all 30 teams
Coming out: Dumars couldn't get one. No matter what rationalization he gives, the league's best team is taking a big risk relying on 35-year-old Lindsay Hunter and his subpar PER.
Coming out: Not counting the small pickup of Derek Anderson, Miami president Pat Riley stuck to his M.O. of eschewing the midseason trade. Now the Heat is on, for sure.
Coming out: They addressed the bench, sort of, by getting rid of big man Marc Jackson to try to sign Tim Thomas, if he becomes available. Thomas is 6-10, but he wouldn't strengthen them inside, given that he plays mostly on the wing.
Coming out: The Flip Murray pickup was nice, but Gooden is still there and they're still making do with an inconsistent rotation of Eric Snow, Damon Jones and LeBron James at the point.
5. INDIANA (tie)
Coming out: The acquisition of Peja Stojakovic for Artest has turned out well so far, and the Pacers seem to have righted the ship a bit. They might not be the serious contenders they seemed to be when the season began, but no one wants to face them in the playoffs.
• Click here to read evaluations of all 15 East teams
Coming out: Mark Cuban's Mavs are suddenly the model of stability.
Coming out: The addition of Amare Stoudemire will be the big move for the Suns, assuming he can return this season from microfracture knee surgery.
Coming out: At last, they moved Watson, Russell and Lenard, but kept Martin, to the surprise of many. They came out of all those talks with not Ron Artest (as was rumored in December and January) but the poor man's Artest in Ruben Patterson and Reggie Evans, both of whom are politely called "energy guys." (Don't they already have Eduardo Najera?) Now, let's see if coach George Karl and K-Mart can put on a happy face.
Coming out: They actually had some things going on below the radar, as Marc Stein will explain in his Weekend Dime. But they're doing just fine.
Coming out: They added Vladimir Radmanovic (for Chris Wilcox) and Vin Baker (from semi-retirement). Now the questions are (a) when do they stop this losing streak and (b) will they get Corey Maggette back this season from a serious foot injury?

Rasheed Wallace calmly discusses a technical foul with official Bennett Salvatore. Thing is, 'Sheed might have been right.
Sheridan's Take
Chris Sheridan evaluated all 16 trades this season. Here's an excerpt:
Derek Anderson for Gerald Fitch
Surprising this was all the Sonics could get for Flip, who waived his trade veto because he wants to be somewhere he can establish some value before becoming an unrestricted free agent. He could take minutes away from Damon Jones in Cleveland. Lee Nailon to Cleveland
A pure money dump by the 76ers, who want to make a run at Tim Thomas and needed to move Nailon's salary to stay beneath the luxury tax threshold.

Extreme Behavior
Thursday's Best
Thursday's Worst
Quote of the Day
-- Royce Webb
• See how all 60 who played stacked up
Where's Darko?
Jonathan (Richmond, Ind.): Why trade for Darko and not play him?
I know it's only been two games, but a DNP and four minutes?
I first thought maybe they wanted to work him in and such, but Arroyo is getting burn already.
What's going on?
Chad Ford: I don't get it either.
They gave up a lottery pick for him and they have roughly a season and a half to see if he can play.
This is the problem with some NBA coaches. They can't see anything but the present.
Brian Hill's job security would be so much higher if he finds away to develop Darko into a legit player. Instead, even though the chances of the Magic making the playoffs this year are slim to none, he plays all veterans trying to eke out wins against the Cavs and Nets. The team loses both games, Darko doesn't play. What have they gained?
I know the GMs in Orlando aren't happy. It's tough to tell a coach what to do ... but I have a feeling that talk is coming.
• Complete Chad Ford chat transcript
Elias Says
The Mavs have won 15 of their last 16 regular-season games against teams with records more than five games above the .500 mark.
Memphis was 30-23 coming into Thursday's game.
Dallas' only such loss during that time was by two points to the Spurs earlier this season (92-90 on Dec. 1).

What Dee Sees
Charles (N.Y.): Do you think the Lakers will actually make the playoffs? I see Sacramento passing them in three weeks
Dee Brown: I think the Lakers will, just because Kobe doesn't want to go two years without going to the playoffs. For him to solidify himself into one of the best players of all time, he has to will his team into the playoffs. The Lakers will make the playoffs. That's a scary team to play with a guy that good.

The Winning volume in the 1972 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is a collection of richly anecdotal, lyric poems. Robert Hass writes about the California coast, about birds, fish, books, friends, presents sensations, and the impingements of the past upon the present. Running through the book is a core of love poems, mainly domestic, which muse on the natural order that the affections try to establish even within the wilderness of history and political violence. Stanley Kunitz, the judge of the competition, calls this year's selection "a big, strong-hearted, earthy book, in the America epic tradition of Whitman and Neruda. Hass is a wonderfully informed young man, a waking history, with abounding affection for the natural universe, including some humans, and with an imagination that spans the whole continent, from Buffalo to the Pacific."

Re: "Shaping a Cardassian" - characters
You know...another person who could relate would be Gul Berat. He may have an eidetic memory--but with his "Cardassian ADHD" (I'm sure it has a name, I just haven't decided what they call his diagnosis yet), he sometimes cannot use it to its fullest extent. I think that during routine times, he may sometimes set "alarms" for himself. He might not have everything written down (though I think occasionally he does as a concentration aid), but it's hard for him to keep track of time or concentrate as easily as most Cardassians can, so now that I think about it, I think he has certain aids to help remind him of what he
be doing (as opposed to what he may be doing that's distracting).
Remember the little story about his "e-mail accident"? I know he probably didn't let anyone else but Glinn Yejain find out about that, but if he met your Glinn Yassel, he'd make an exception so she would understand "gul" does not mean "god."
(Funnier yet...do I remember reading that Glinn Yassel is very organized? I don't think she'd like the sight of Gul Berat's office, then. It's messier than your average Cardassian's office. He's been known to have to quickly shove padds or other objects out of the way very quickly before receiving visitors.

These findings have important implications when it comes to choosing among available treatments. As Persaud summarized, "The initial transmitted drug-resistant virus will likely never be cleared from that infant with currently available treatments. However, it is important to point out that because PIs are the first-line drugs used to treat HIV infection in infants in the United States, PI-containing treatment was still effective in controlling the NNRTI-resistant virus in the infants in this study. As long as you do not use NNRTI-based treatment in these infants, you avoid applying pressure that allows drug-resistant HIV to flourish."
The study concluded that it is important to consider drug-resistance testing as a part of the initial evaluation of newly HIV-infected infants so that appropriate choices can be made when considering possible treatments, especially since PIs are not used worldwide as first-line therapy. Such testing must be paired with further studies on available and new therapies. As Persaud remarked, "It is important to fully understand the extent to which the persistent drug-resistant virus affects whether those drugs can be reused within the child's lifetime.?This is a critical question and an area of intense investigation, especially in light of the high rates of antiretroviral drug resistance occurring in infants in low-income countries who received a single dose of an NNRTI for prevention of mother-to-child transmission, and for whom treatment options are few."
In an accompanying editorial, Paul A. Krogstad, MD, of the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, noted that global elimination of pediatric A

The standard Highrise game has been augmented with a conveyor belt around the perimeter and several other game play elements. Click here for a more extensive list of the new rules and game play. Beltway is available in the latest update to the VEX IQ Highrise Robot Virtual World download.
Check out this video of one of the new Virtual VEX IQ models, Clampbot, scoring in Beltway:
We include sample code to help you get started when you install the Robot Virtual World. You can locate it in ROBOTC by going to File > Open Sample Program, and choosing the Highrise folder. Get started today, and keep submitting your high scores and code to CS2N!
Check out our previous post on the VEX IQ Virtual Challenge, here.
2014 REC Foundation and Robomatter Scholarship Winner!
The 2014 REC Foundation and Robomatter Scholarship Winner is Cameron Akker of Redmond, Washington!
Cameron Akker is the 2014 REC Foundation-RoboMatter scholarship recipient and will receive $5,000 intended for students pursuing a degree related to science, technology, engineering or mathematics. Cameron attended Redmond High School and is a member of VEX Team 575, Exothermic Robotics of Redmond, Washington. He will attend Harvard University this fall. Cameron, on far right, is pictured here with his Exothermic Robotics teammates.
Cameron started programming for the first time in 9th grade and pursued a variety of summer programs to improve his skills. He began by learning ROBOTC, picked up Java at a Stanford University program, and took a course focused on robotics programming using language C at the University of Pennsylvania. Last summer, Cameron put his knowledge to use and got together with friends he met through robotics to start a mobile app company. Working straight through the summer, the group was able to create and release two Android games on Google Play.
When it comes to programming robots Cameron says, "Virtual worlds is an excellent interface through which I've been able to program without the rough, troublesome physicality of actual robots. It's helpful to be able to test programs without the possibility of one mistake leading to a physical robot's untimely demise. The Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy sponsored Robot Virtual Worlds Competition provides an exciting chance to experience the thrill of robotics programming without needing to attend a physical robotics competition."
"Understanding programming has also aided the way I build robots to participate in the VEX Robotics Competition," continues Cameron. "Instead of building an entire robot and then programming it, I program the robot at every step of the build process. As a result, I don't have to wait until the end of the build process to find broken motors or faulty engineering, but can rather find them along the way. Understanding programming has also allowed me to better set up sensors on a competition robot. Instead of putting sensors on the robot and later figuring out how to incorporate them, I only add sensors when there is a clear need in programming for them."
The REC Foundation and RoboMatter congratulate Cameron Akker on his well-deserved scholarship award and wish him much success in his college career at Harvard University.
VEX IQ Challenge – Add It Up
At the VEX World Championship in Anaheim, VEX introduced their newest robotics platform, VEX IQ. VEX IQ is designed to transform STEM learning for students and their teachers. Students as young as 8 can begin building and programming their robot.
To support the VEX IQ system, the REC Foundation revealed a new VEX IQ Challenge game called "Add It Up" for the 2013-2014 robotics season.
In the VEX IQ Challenge, students, with guidance from their teachers and mentors, build a robot using the VEX IQ robotics platform to solve an engineering challenge that is presented in the form of a game. VEX IQ Challenge teams will work together scoring points in Teamwork Matches, and also get to show off their robot's skills individually in driver controlled and autonomous Skills Challenges. VEX released a new video yesterday that explains the rules of the game.
There are a total of thirty-six (36) Small BuckyBalls and four (4) Large BuckyBalls available as Scoring Objects in the game. There are four (4) Floor Goals, two (2) Low Goals, two (2) High Goals, and four (4) Scoring Rings, as well as a Hanging Bar. Official game documents are available here: VEX Wiki – Add It Up
Registration for a VEX IQ Challenge team costs $100. Additional teams from the same schools can register for $50. Tournament entry fees vary by event. Visit RobotEvents.com for more information, to register a team and find events near you.
Carnegie Mellon Robotics Academy is currently developing new curriculum and trainings for the new VEX IQ platform and ROBOTC for VEX Robotics 4.0. Curriculum, software, and training will be available this Fall. To find out more information visit: Robotics Academy VEX IQ.
What do you think of the new VEX IQ system? Are you interested in creating a team in your area?
Wiki Guide: How to Play Sounds Through a VEX Cortex Speaker
Back in April, we did an unboxing for the VEX Cortex Speaker which we blogged about, here.
Since then we have had many requests for an updated guide on how to play custom audio files through the Cortex Speakers. Today, the wait is finally over. We have updated our wiki pages to include an in-depth guide on how to convert a sound file into a Cortex-usable format using the open source program, Audacity [link].
Once the file is formatted and downloaded to the Cortex properly, the 'PlaySoundFile("filename.wav")' command is used to access the audio file and play it through the speaker port (example shown below).
task main() { //Play a Sound File (need to use the File Management to Upload First) PlaySoundFile("1.wav"); wait1Msec(1000); }
If you are interested in the Cortex Speaker and what can be played through it, check out the VEX forum post about playing Nyan Cat through the VEX Cortex speaker. As an added holiday bonus, how about the 12 Days of Christmas?
We are continually updating and improving all of our support material; if there is anything you think would make ROBOTC more accessible, don't hesitate to comment below!

New ROBOTC Firmware for VEX Cortex Users with Integrated Motor Encoders
There have been reports of the VEX Cortex locking up when using the new Integrated Motor Encoders. The root cause appears to be an unhandled exception that is generated when the I2C communication link between the Cortex and encoders is compromised. To prevent the Cortex from locking up, we've put together a new ROBOTC Firmware file that handles the exception. The differences between this new firmware and the version included in ROBOTC 3.08 only apply to the new Integrated Motor Encoders, so users who aren't taking advantage of them should continue using the firmware included in ROBOTC 3.08. VEX Robotics Competition teams that are using the encoders are encouraged to load the new firmware, and to take extra steps (zip ties, ect) securing the 4-pin I2C wires, to help prevent them from coming loose in the first place.
The new ROBOTC firmware, "VEX_Cortex_0912A" can be downloaded here. Once the file is downloaded, you will need to extract the .hex file from it.
To transfer the firmware to your Cortex:
- Open ROBOTC
- Go to Window > Menu Level > Expert
- Make sure the Cortex is connected to the PC over USB or VEXnet
- Go to Robot > Download Firmware > ROBOTC Firmware > Choose File…
- When the File Selection window appears, navigate to the "VEX_Cortex_0912A.hex" file you extracted and select it
- A Download Progress window will appear in ROBOTC and begin the download
- When the Download Progress window closes, the Firmware download is complete
More information on the problem can be found in this post on the VEX Forums.
Thanks to everyone for submitting your testing results, and for your patience as we work out the issues. A special thanks goes out to VEX Forum user, jpearman.
VEX Robotics World Championship Firmware Update
VEX Robotics has released the following information on their website:
The VEX Robotics technical support team has identified an issue that some competition teams are experiencing in which the Cortex Microcontroller is unable to resume VEXnet link after a Microcontroller reset.
To help eliminate this issue at the VEX Robotics World Championship we are releasing a special version of the VEX Firmware, specifically for World Championship teams (3.21_Worlds). This firmware version modifies the Cortex re-initialization to help the VEXnet link reconnect in the event of a reset (i.e. caused by VEXnet Key "jostling", power interruption, battery brownout, or static).
We know that competition teams dislike updating firmware so close to an event, so we are publishing this update in the hopes that teams will have a chance to test it "at home" before coming to VEX Worlds. If you're comfortable with the new version, we strongly urge you to use it at the World Championship to help prevent potential problems related to a Cortex reset.
This firmware only updates a "back end" relinking protocol and it does not affect anything related to robot performance — you don't need to tweak your autonomous mode, or anything like that.
Visit the VEX Forum thread on this firmware release for more discussions and to post any questions or concerns.
We've done an array of tests and the firmware is compatible with ROBOTC 3.08. User jpearman of the VEX Forums has also posted his test results, here.
We recommend that all competition teams update to ROBOTC 3.08 and use the 3.21 Worlds firmware. The firmware can be downloaded using the VEXnet Firmware Upgrade Utility, or ROBOTC using the following procedures:
1) Connect the Cortex to the Computer over USB
2) Switch the ROBOTC Menu Level to Expert:
3) Go to Robot > Download Firmware > Master CPU Firmware > Choose File…
4) Navigate to VEXnet Firmware Upgrade folder in your Program Files directory and select "CORTEX_V3_21_Worlds.BIN".
5) Press Open to open the firmware and begin the download process.
6) Once the CORTEX_V3_21_Worlds.BIN Master firmware has finished downloading, you should also download the ROBOTC firmware. Go to Robot > Download Firmware > Manually Update Firmware > ROBOTC Firmware > Standard File.
Michigan VEX Regionals
A few weeks ago I came to the VEX Regionals over at Monroe, Michigan which was held at Monroe High School. This was their first year hosting the VEX competition, and Steve Ketron did a nice job organizing the event.
There were about two dozen teams, and the robots that were built by the teams were phenomenal.
I've been fortunate enough to go to several VEX competitions over the years, and this one had a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. I'd chalk that up to the friendly teams surrounding Monroe that came, and also Steve's planning for the competition.
I took several hundred photos AND video for the event. I will post the video as soon as I can get all of them onto youtube.
Note: If you want a photo removed, I completely understand! Just comment on this post letting me know which photo to remove and I will remove it immediately. Your comment will not show up below so it will be anonymous.

Fandom: Hellsing
Pairing: Alucard x Anderson
Rating: PG13
A/N: Here's the chaptered hopefully!plot fic following 'Discipline. AU, spoilers for whole manga. [3,756]. The disaster at London awakens something sealed within the British Museum.
[A/N: Many, many plotbunnies… Follows Discipline.]
Psalms for the Fallen
Chapter 1
The morning sun in England was a gray, lifeless blanket in winter, even in Cornwall, but it still made him feel sluggish. Alexander Anderson didn't bother to get up or acknowledge the voice, remaining where he was, lying on the grass with his head cushioned on his arms, the dew fresh over his coat. In his peripheral vision, he saw Sir Integral Hellsing pause over the grass, and then circle him, her gait fluid, catlike, noiseless. She wore her power like a cloak, unassailable, distant and cold, beautiful like Minerva, maiden, aloof and human, and vaguely, he envied her the lifeblood that still pulsed in her wrists.
"How long has it been since you were turned? Two months? And you can withstand the sun, turn to shadow, shapeshift to a wolf, and all without taking blood. Impressive, Paladin Anderson. Were you ever freed to become a true No Life King, you could become one of the most powerful vampires that have ever existed."
Integral continued to talk, and despite the sunlight, his heightened senses gave him an overload of information – the rich ashy earth of her cigars, the faint vanilla of her perfumed hair, the starch of freshly pressed shirts, kippers, coffee, oats. If he closed his eyes he could hear her heartbeat, loud and thudding; below, half a metre under the soil, a shrew, a beat high and thin as it scurried; the wet slow pulse of worms; high above, the light patter of gulls'.
"Nae langer ae Paladin." His voice sounded weak and thick to his ears, and he coughed, cleared his throat. "As ye ken, Protestant bitch."
His sire's Master merely chuckled at the insult, harsh and mirthless. He could scent the gunpowder under her suit, the greasy oil of the derringer. "Alucard told me why you chose to follow Hellsing, Anderson."
"Ye would tread upon the lion an' cobra; the young lion an' the serpent ye will trample doon." Anderson closed his eyes under his glasses and quoted the psalm from memory, heard and scented the grass crushed under her heel as she turned to regard him.
"Personally I think it unwise to hire another creature possibly as insane or as rabid as Alucard, but I do not care, Anderson. We need your blade, for now. And the moment you overstep your bounds, the moment you become any more of a monster than you already are… we will kill you. That is my word to you and my promise."
"Aye." Anderson opened an eye. "If Ah take another step awae from God, cut me doon, Sir Integral Hellsing. If ye promise me that, Ah will follow ye."
Integral smirked. "I understood that that was your wish without having to be told, Paladin Anderson. But it did surprise my servant – as much as he can be surprised. Are you here in the sunlight because you know he hates it and will not follow?"
The fallen priest did not respond, listening to his mimed breathing, instead, of habits of living that he could not break, in silence with Hellsing's master. One cigar was smoked to nothing, and he heard the guillotine snip as she prepared another for her lips, as she turned to leave. The buzz of the insects and the heartbeats under the soil became a roar in his ears, as he turned himself inward and out.
"Someday," Anderson mused then, as Integral circled to return to the mansion, the wind of winter pulling her long coat tight over her narrow hips, "Someday, Ah will step across the border, an' take my true death as Ah see it. Before God. At the place o' my birth."
"When we no longer need you, you are free to do what you wish. But not one more step will you take away from God." There was some pity in Integral's tone, between one breath and the next, then her voice was harsh again. "Not another step, Alexander Anderson."
"For Ah know my transgressions, an' my sin is e'er before me." Anderson closed his eyes again. In the sunlight, under Heaven, even tainted, unclean and forsaken, his monster's heart was briefly at peace.
The dead do not often dream when they sleep, and therefore, Alucard was somewhat annoyed to find himself standing in the ruins of the Great Court of the British Museum, his vision blurred around the edges as they would not have been in reality. About him, faceless men and women walked, circling the Court to the upper levels, occasionally stopping to admire the frescoes, in utter silence, their movements measured, identical, doll-like.
Alucard frowned. He could not smell anything but stone, and he was fairly sure that the last he was at the Museum, its Great Court had not been covered by intricate frescoes of beautiful, semi-naked women clothed in clinging white tunics devouring men and children. If it had been, he would have been more amenable to visiting it even during normal opening hours.
Now he forgot his irritation at the dreamwalking for a moment, admiring the detail; here, an impossibly beautiful blonde woman drenched her silken locks in the blood from a severed wrist; there, a blinded woman with heavy breasts and a snake's half beneath her waist wept crimson tears as she curled around the bodies of broken children. Curious. Very curious.
He pushed past the crowd a little further, to read an inscription on the walls that seemed to hang just off the stone, shimmering in gold.
Neu pranse Lamiae vivum puerum extrabat alvo.
Stone and ashes and sand, old magic, the devouring of one's children. Alucard closed his blood-red eyes for a moment and remembered a time where he had been curious about the existence of others as himself. One of the oldest of his kind, the No Life Kings.
"Meroe. Queen of Libya. Lilith. Scylla's mother. The Witch Queen. Lamia."
"Yes." A voice agreed, echoing around the silent halls is parchment dry but feminine, amused, ancient, speaking not so much in English, but to blood-memory, in his mind. "Vlad Tepes. Once, you sought me out, child, do you remember?"
"Only to find an echo of your voice encased in a fragment of obsidian within a buried temple in Libya, my Lady. You said that your body was lost, your power shattered." Alucard smirked lazily. Child. He had not been called that for almost four centuries.
The world trip to find others like him had been illuminating. He'd killed those that were weaker or bored him, spared some, crippled others; but all the Old Ones had long vanished into myth, perhaps having never existed at all. He had found evidence of the remains of a handful, and of all the artifacts he had located, only Lamia's had echoed to the touch of his blood.
"I thought my body lost, yes, yes. But you, you, child, lovely child, you have awakened me." The serpentine whisper took on, for a moment, the veneer of maternal approval.
Alucard thought back on his recent schedule, filled with the menial boredom of annihilating one pocket of ghouls after another, and drew a blank. He didn't quite remember playing with ancient seals, magic, items or artifacts of late, by accident or by device. "I do not recall doing so, Lady Lamia."
"The fragment of my body lay in this building within which you stand now in your dream, Vlad Tepes. Sealed within a sculpture of a hydra, its Holy Writ weakening over the centuries, until it reacted to the strong blood magic you invoked and was destroyed."
Ah yes. The sack of London. Alucard smirked lazily. "I am glad to be of service, my Lady. I hope you enjoyed your stay in London."
"This city of death… I like it, Vlad Tepes." A papery laugh echoed around him.
"England is mine," Alucard growled, shifting in a moment to shadow, reddened eyes winking up like jewels in his writhing darkness, menacing, but the laugh only deepened, playful.
"Do not worry. I do not intend to linger, and I do know our kind are so very territorial… especially the males. It has been so long since I was free… so very long, child, and this new world amuses me. You can have your 'England' when our kind once again bestride the earth."
"No, we are-"
"But first, Vlad… first of all, here is a gift, my repayment to you."
Pain seared through his palms, white fire that seemed to consume his hands in the dreams, ravenous and flickering, and Alucard snarled, surprised by the assault, clawing his way back to consciousness, the echo of papery laughter beneath him, then silent as he flowed out of his coffin in shadow and coalesced atop it. And stared.
The gloves he wore were now pure white.
Van Hellsing's seals were gone.
Anderson sat up sharply as he felt a sudden jolt of power through the blood-link, looking about wildly. He recognized that for what it was – for some reason, Alucard had deactivated the binding seal upon himself – but he did not see or sense any ghouls, nor had he ever felt such a massive surge. It seemed as though Alucard himself did not care to contain such power: it leaked out into Anderson despite the priest's frantic attempt to dampen down the link and avoid further contamination; he was shadow before he knew it, writhing in the sun, blasted out of his human form by the backlash.
Pure, raw power sang in his veins, fierce and wild and uncontrollable, he was losing himself and he couldn't… Anderson was aware that he was laughing, hysterical and insane as he clawed blindly at the grass, his fingers shadow then human then clawed, a sibilant hissing in his ears like the slither of a hundred serpents, the surge of power both ecstasy and agony and everything in between. He was invincible, endless, immortal, greater even than a-
Then he jerked back as pain seared through his head, his undead flesh feeling as though it was suddenly on fire, heard, now, the distant, dull clink of a casing hitting the ground, the deeper, mechanical boom of the Harkonnen being reloaded.
And he was himself again, stunned, staring at his hands as his flesh healed. "Wha'… the hell?"
Squinting, panting as his senses slowly returned, he noticed the policewoman at the doorway to the mansion, her massive weapon leaning against her shoulder, her expression frightened, and she pointed upwards, wordlessly.
What he had thought at first to be a passing cloud was a storm of bats, which milled for a moment in the sunlight as though undecided, then swarmed away, to his east.
Towards London.
"Alucard? Wha' the hell did that bastard do?"
He didn't need to be called twice. Irritably, he picked himself up from the grass and sauntered back to the mansion, pausing when he passed Seras. She was shaking uncontrollably, her shoulders bowed, and from her arm sheathed in black leather, shadows boiled in a scythe-shaped, restless wing that only returned to her flesh when she caught him staring. At that, Seras smiled weakly, one of her hands going to the back of her head as though embarrassed by her weakness.
"Integral-sama has summoned us."
"Aye." Anderson paused, then, more gruffly, he added, "Thank ye."
Seras blinked at him for a moment, uncomprehendingly, then she brightened. "You're welcome, Anderson-san."
They floated up, through the stone, until they reached Integral's office. Within it, the master of Hellsing paced, her hands tight behind her back, smoking fitfully, not even pausing when Seras saluted. On her desk was a mahogany box, bound in silver chain, the lock at the top polished and carved intricately with writ. It hurt his eyes to even look, and he noted that Seras avoided even trying.
"Alucard has broken the seal," Integral began curtly. "That which binds him to Hellsing as a servant."
That explained the surge in power. "How?" Anderson demanded, appalled. Alucard was the most powerful vampire currently in existence, even in Iscariot's extensive files. Freed to do whatever he pleased – London's bloodbath could well be considered a minor disaster in comparison. And also… God forbid… the monster would truly be free to exert all of his considerable, unfettered will on Anderson himself.
That thought disconcerted him, angered him at the same time. He would not become the plaything of an insane monster. Even now, in the sin and shame the creature inflicted upon him on occasion, Anderson could preserve his core of self, going through the motions, meditating afterwards or reflecting on the Holy Writ. He was not sure how long he could hold against an Alucard with no limits, and Anderson shuddered, remembering the heady surge of pure power he had felt out on the lawn. It had been addictive, even that taste, so very seductive, tempting him to lose himself to it.
If Seras had not shot him, had not forced his sense of 'self' back together in that moment of agony, Anderson did not know what would have happened.
"I do not know," Integral said sharply, her stress surfacing for a brief, snappish moment, then she calmed herself with a few angry drags of her cigar. "It occurred while he was sleeping." Another agitated circle, around her desk, then she paused, her blue eyes narrowed. "The both of you…"
"Were knocked flat by the backlash, but otherwise… fine, Integral-sama. Though Alucard has gone to London." Seras added, as an afterthought.
"I could see that." Integral scowled out of the window. "Che. What timing. And why London? There is nothing in London now." Tensely, she dug her fingers into her suit. "I will report this… this disaster to the Round Table. And then I will set off to London myself."
"That leaves the matter of the two of you. Seras Victoria, Alexander Anderson. You are both his childer." Integral faced them, seemingly unarmed, and yet Anderson could smell no fear. He smirked, slowly, realizing what she meant, while Seras had to blink.
"Ye think we'll be turnin' on ye." Anderson drawled. "Now that Alucard is free."
It was a tempting thought. With her gone, he would indeed be free. Again, even within Iscariot's files, the Hellsing family was the only one born with the sheer accident of bloodline that allowed them, with rituals and strength of will, to place bindings upon the monsters known as the No Life Kings. Research into why this was so was mere speculation: the family's ancestry before Abraham Van Hellsing was scattered at best.
Then he realized that it was the monster within him speaking, which tempted him, and with some effort, forced his eyes back to the blue of his humanity. When he looked back at Integral, he noticed her watching him, and she smirked, faintly, before turning to regard the other vampire.
"Integral-sama!" Seras sounded horrified. "I wouldn't."
"Alucard's will is strong, and now he is unfettered." Integral said coldly. "Perhaps it would be a matter of time before he takes over what remains of both your wills."
"So what d'ye suggest?" He could guess.
"Neither of you have drunk Alucard's blood, which means that neither of you are yet free of his influence." Integral tapped the box. "But by my bloodline I can bind you to my service. It won't break your bond with your Master, but if Alucard exerts his will on either of you, perhaps it would serve as a counterbalance to prevent you from losing yourself."
"But," Integral glared at Anderson for the interruption, "It will limit your abilities. Confine you to the form nearest to human. You'll need to know the casting for release that will contact me for permission."
"An' if we refuse?"
"Then I destroy you both now." Integral said, her gloved hand on the hilt of her blade, her eyes narrowed and still unafraid. "Damage control. One freed vampire is already a disaster. The fact that the two of you appear unaffected, that he has left the both of you here without a word, can only mean a handful of things."
"One. Something has happened in London that broke the seal, and he has gone to investigate. Two. He broke the seal himself, and has fled the area for now to regroup his thoughts. Either way, you are both now liabilities to Hellsing, especially if your Master remembers to call you."
"I trust him," Seras said, doubtfully. "He was loyal to you, Integral-sama."
"You can imagine I need reassurance," Integral said evenly, staring hard at Seras, and after a moment, the policewoman's shoulders drooped.
"Maa… of course I will accept the limiter, Integral-sama." Seras sighed. "I'm disappointed that you even thought I would refuse."
Integral's gaze swung to Anderson, who grinned, feral, pleased. "Evil will slay the wicked; the foes o' the righteous will be condemned. Much as Ah dinnae like this… ye promised me, woman. One step from God."
Seras looked between them, uncomprehending, but Integral nodded slowly, and drew a key from her pocket, unlocking the box. Within it was a dull stone, that flashed briefly to amber when Integral picked it up. "A stone from Golgotha, stained with His blood. With this I bind you, as my ancestor once bound the Impaler."
Alucard hated the sunlight. It made him sleepy, and he wanted nothing more now than to return to the cellars and lie in his coffin to wait for dusk. As it was, he was having a little problem concentrating on keeping all his bats on course to London; some flagged, or were worried away by the winds, and it recalled to Alucard all the myriad number of reasons why he never traveled like this save where necessary. There was nothing more embarrassing than realizing several miles later that parts of oneself were still flapping frantically in a tree somewhere, not to mention nothing more undignified than having to scour underbrush and the crowns of trees for little black patches.
He was sleepy, it was cold, and the wind was annoyingly strong for a cloud of bats attempting to reach London in a single group, and the only thing that kept his mood up was a certain malicious pleasure at how pissed Integral had to be at this moment. Alucard had to admit that he liked his 'Master', enjoyed needling her and being at the brunt of her foul moods, but freedom… to have freedom was a joy he had not experienced for far, far too long.
He would seek evidence of Lamia in London, and then call his little pets to him and depart for Romania, Alucard decided. Out of this gray little country with its distressing fogs and miasmic rains. As a favor for Integral he would contain England from Lamia, perhaps, but it was a secondary thought, unimportant. Give her sixty years or less and she would, after all, be dead from age, if nothing else, though he did so wish her bloodline well. They tended to be all so very entertaining, the Hellsings.
So. London. British Museum, if only to confirm that he had not somehow started hallucinating since yesterday. And then summon Seras and Alex when night came, take care of any remaining business, retrieve their coffins and hijack some means of conveyance to Romania so that he did not have to fly. Seras could, but Alex was rebellious enough that having to carry the priest to Romania would be a hassle. A train, perhaps. Or a carriage, if he wanted to be nostalgic. The first class carriage of the former would be an infinitely more comfortable place to celebrate by first having a glass of fine wine – a Chateau D'Yquem, perhaps, or a bottle of Dom Pérignon champagne. And then fucking dear Alex through the nearest flat surface.
A wicked chuckle echoed through the unnatural swarm of bats. He was looking forward to that indeed. Sweet, delicious, predictable Alex. The priest was very unlikely to enjoy Romania, and he would certainly object strenuously to the change in roles, from servants of Hellsing back to proper dominion, but he would likely accept it in time. As to Seras, Alucard knew the female vampire would follow him, even with her newfound strength of will.
Still, Alucard knew that before all of that happened, he had to make some effort to speak with Lamia about her ambitions. Humankind was too numerous now, and united, too strong for the old ways. Even in Romania he had not tried to rule overtly; and even so, ruling in the shadows, he had been defeated. A vampire that called too much attention to itself would eventually be defeated by a human, and the fallout of a Holy War directed against their kind would be inconvenient.
He was not too concerned about himself – he had learned since his defeat to Van Hellsing – but his little fledgelings were not only inexperienced and young but also prone to the strangest little human eccentricities. Alucard would not put it beyond Alex to give himself up to the Inquisitors, or Seras to try and stay by Integral's side. Perhaps they already had. No doubt they would have sensed his freedom.
The consideration disturbed him for a moment, enough that the cloud of bats halted, indecisively, then turned again towards London. He had more pressing matters. But just to be safe, he sent a summons through the blood-link to the both of them, to meet him, and was astonished to feel something wrong.
The links were there, but they were now unclear. He could feel his childer, but could not force his will down the links. Irritable, he examined the threads of the interference in his mind, as he flew on, and recognized the twisted, runed pentagon signatures of the Hellsing line.
His next laugh was insane, pleased, and malicious all at once. Trust Integral to act so quickly! His 'Master' was worthy indeed. Still, with the amount of power he had now, it would only be a matter of time before he shattered any interference, but it would delay him in London.
Perhaps that was her plan. Delay him long enough so that she could bind him again.
Unfortunately, he now had the benefit of a century of Hellsing manipulation and engineering, and he was more powerful than the vampire her ancestor had faced. He did not wish her harm, but he would not hesitate if she stood in his way.
But first – London.

I don't know whether or not the emulsions actually changed when the names changed, but I am assuming that at least a minor change was made. I still mention NPH and NPZ because it is still available expired en masse, and still works great if it has been taken care of. I have at least a dozen pro packs of NPH 220 stockpiled, so I won't be using any Pro 400H until that stash is gone. I think I have shot all my stockpiled NPZ, so I am using Pro 800Z now.

Breast density has been known to increase the risk of breast cancer and recent studies suggest that abnormal changes in breast density over time could also be associated with increased risk. Temporal changes may also aid in evaluating the impact of age and menopause on the breast. However, reader variability and differences in the "For Presentation" mammographic images generated on different vendor x-ray machines, make it difficult to judge breast density change. In the presentation "Assessing breast density changes over time," (C-1770), Dr. Ralph Highnam, CEO of Matakina International and a co-author, introduces a novel objective method for transforming sequential mammograms into temporal density movies to address some of these issues. Results demonstrate high levels of agreement between sequential images and the use of optimized density maps help standardize mammographic images from different manufacturers to facilitate better judgement of temporal changes. "Breast density is one of the few modifiable breast cancer risk factors and we are encouraged that these results show strong potential for Volpara to accurately track changes in breast density over time," said Dr. Highnam.
In a similar line of research, Professor Nico Karssemeijer has been testing the temporal stability of Volpara in the exhibit, "Temporal stability of fully automatic volumetric breast density estimation in a large screening population" (C-1953). They ran Volpara over 42,414 temporal pairs of mammograms and looked to see how often Volpara declared the woman to have moved from being a fatty breast (BIRADS 1,2) to a dense breast (BIRADS 3,4). Researchers noted that in a recent study of human observers some 7.1% of the time such a biologically implausible shift was noted, whilst for Volpara it was only 4.1% indicating that Volpara is far more robust at judging temporal change.

The Student Data Program plays an important role for Texas. In January each year, two important counts are made related to students with visual impairments and deafblindness for the Texas Education Agency by this program. These are known respectively as the VI Registration and the Deafblind Child Count.
Information is gathered about every student in Texas identified as having a visual impairment or deafblindness who is enrolled in a public, private or charter school on a specific date. The kinds of information that is gather includes information about the degree and cause of the visual impairment, age of the child, location of the school and type of program where the child or student receives his/her education, whether or not the child uses braille or large print and other information.
This student information is completely confidential. However, summary demographic data is used for long-term planning and identifying trends and issues for students with visual impairments and deafblindness at Texas Education Agency, the twenty Education Service Centers, DARS-Division of Blind Services, and Outreach Programs. Other agencies and organizations may request specific information to help them advocate for services for individuals with visual impairments and deafblindness at all age levels.
Additionally the number of students counted each year on the VI Registration generates funds based on the number of students who are legally blind. These funds are used to purchase materials from the American Printing House for the Blind for local districts through the APH Materials Loan Program. Last year approximately 1.5 million dollars flowed to Texas and down to local districts to help pay for the specialized materials needed by students who are visually impaired and deafblind.
2015 VI Registration: Important Changes and Reminders
- Students must have their new TSDS unique identification number entered for 2015. Their previous numbers will be permanently replaced in the data storage with the new ID for 2015. After 2015, the TSDS Unique ID will be the identification of record. Children birth-three may still use the last 4 digits of their social if there is no TX ID.
- Identification of students with a visual impairment under Section 504 is the responsibility of the District 504 Coordinator. It is not the responsibility of the TVI, since they are not providing services to these students.
- The Superintendent's signatures will be collected electronically for the first time. At the end of the registration period, they will be notified by email that their page is open and given a password to access their district data. Once notified, they will have a five-day window to click on a box certifying their district's information. No paperwork will need to be submitted!
- We will no longer require visual acuity details, but will use MDB (meets the definition of blindness), FDB (functions at the definition of blindness) or NLB (not legally blind.) These are the terms that the American Printing House for the Blind has established for determining entitlements for Federal Quota funds.
- The language question changed last year, but a reminder to note the language used in instruction, not necessarily the language spoken by the child at home.
- Reading media requires a grade level. There is a drop down for the media used and the grade level media used.
Instructions for Completing the VI Registration and Video Guide
Consent for Release of Confidential Information (English version)
Consentimiento para Divulgar Información Confidencial (Spanish version)
Changes in the 2015 Deafblind Child Count
- Ten-digit TSDS unique identification number is required for each child.
- Children birth-three may still use the last 4 digits of their social if there is no TX ID.
- Superintendent's signatures will be collected electronically. They will be notified of a date when their page is open, click on a box and it will be done.
- A space for parent email addresses has been added.

nice movie..
I was in Japan teaching some courses to our branch over there. One night I was at the Hard Rock Cafe in Tokyo and 3 young Japanese girls asked if they could sit at my table (I was by myself and it was crowded), so I said sure. Their English was much better than my Japanese. Since I was on expense account, I was picking up the tab. After a couple of drinks, one of the girls mentioned she had heard that western guys had big dicks and wanted to know if that was true. Well, I was sitting there with a hard, so I put her hand on my dick and said "well what do you think"... she giggled and said "big" and then the other two wanted to find out for themselves. Before long, we went back to my hotel which wasn't far, and I fucked each girl, while the other two watched. They all wanted seconds since they said my dick was the biggest they had ever had... I didn't care if they were lying or not.

We've known for a long while that slide was in decline but this Kodak thing has sent shockwaves through the community. Its the people at the top of the company that are to blame for all this.
As to what we can do about it. Not a whole lot really. David Ward does face a tough challenge but its not impossible. Using 4x5 he can use scanning backs and post process it. As for the rest of us, we'll just have to settle for the fact that Kodak emulsions aren't going to be available. Lets just support the companies that are committed to us like Ilford.
