Add to basket Remove from basket Plus Minus Add to trip planner Remove from trip planner Eppie Callum's Oak Forests & Woodlands Eppie Callum's Oak is an ancient oak tree in Crieff which is said to have once sheltered notorious outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor from his enemies. This historic oak takes its name from the woman who once ran the Oakbank Inn - a former favourite with Highland cattle drovers. Although now situated in a private garden, it can clearly be seen as part of the gentle Lady Mary's Walk of 3.5 miles or the slightly more challenging Laggan Hill Walk of approximately four miles. As well as giving shelter to Rob Roy MacGregor, the 70 ft oak tree is also said to have aided Jacobite leader Bonnie Prince Charlie, who is alleged to have hidden inside the trunk. Car parking is available in the nearby Taylor Park, from where visitors can walk to see the tree. Show More Show Less

Or, how do you cope with large numbers of negatives to print? Here's my situation: I've been on a number of trips this year, all over Western Europe and out to some of the Greek islands. On my return, I have about 30 rolls of b&w exposed. I've developed them all and produced contact sheets. I've gone through all the contacts and selected 8-10 shots per roll that appear to warrant further investigation. Now comes my problem - what with cleaning negs, running test strips, washing and drying the test strips. evaluating each one and then printing, even a straight print for proofing is taking me 30 min to 1 hour. Is everyone else spending this sort of time? I read posts where people are making large numbers of work prints in a much shorter time, is there some shortcut that I hadn't thought of? So far I've had lots of time on my hands but I'm going back to work after xmas, so I'll be more pressed for time, so any suggestions (except lab printing or scanning) would be appreciated.
That is my question too, I allways think people can do things in shorter time than me for same job So, I deal that next way: Processing films, making contact sheet and deciding what to print based on contact sheets takes needed time, that is those times I can't make shorter. It is what it is. Making final print also, I use time I need, not trying to hurry. As I can see there are two ways to save time. One is, when make proof prints, test prints, using something like RHdesigns Analyser or Jobo ComTime or like can save time in that area. If those gadgets are properly calibrated they can save time. Next, expose several prints let say 5 (or whatever, depend of sizes of prints and your paper trays) and process them at same time. Thing is, if you need 2 minuter developer, 30 seconds stop and 2 minutes fixer, that calculate for 2 prints in line 9 minutes (4,5 for first print ad 4,5 for second) and if you process them at same time it is 4,5 minutes for both prints. Of course then you have other problems like manipulating prints in trays to be properly processed, but there is no thing like free lunch . Saying that I DON'T use this method And third thing, experience and having established workflow and routine helps in saving time... I would like to know other (and proper ) ways for saving time, but at the end, if you want job well done, it require needed time, so just get used to it
Harris, has hit the nail on the head, it takes time, get used to it! This evening I went into the darkroom at 2030 hrs, I stepped out of the darkroom around 2300 hrs with the fruits of my labour, in my hot sweaty hands (summertime here at the moment). I produced three prints from 35mm and one print from a 4x5 neg. I'm extremely pleased with my output, this is a normal output for me. Quite sometime ago I had a bit of a think regarding the time allotments for my chosen hobby and how to allocate it some more time to allow me not to have a backlog of negs awaiting printing. Two things were the outcome. I decided to be reasonable in my film exposing, which meant I don't shoot as much, or as often. The second was to stop watching television, more or less. Basically, I now watch about 1 hour of television every three or four weeks. This has been the single most important change that allows me to practice my hobby most evenings. Mick.
Yes, sometime I make 3 to 5 prints in 2 hours, sometime it take me 3 hours for 1 print. Depend how I exposed negative, how many test prints I make (and how much I change my decision how I want my print to look) how much dodging/burning is needed, my errors of different kinds, etc... And I am not as near fine printer as people here are.
When I shoot a lot of film I am usually on vacation or a weekend trip so I take an extra day off just to process the negatives and proof the M/F and L/F and make 4X5 prints from 35mm. I then spend time selecting the negatives I really want to print (I also scan the negatives that show promise to get a better look before I print them in the wet darkroom). Last weekend I shot 2 rolls of 35mm, 2 rolls of 6X9 and 10 4X5, printed only 4X5, after a few weeks I will take a another look to see if I missed something. Unless there is an urgent need to produce a print right a way I tend to let some time pass before I look at the proofs or work prints with fresh eyes.
I have the RH Designs Analyser Pro, but I haven't got the hang of seeing the tones represented on the LED's as print tones - I'm more adept at seeing a proper test print, but I'll persevere with that. Yes, I have processed prints in batches, but this doesn't allow each print to be tested - if I could trust my use of the Analyser this would be a real time saver. I suppose that this is the part I really want to examine - I feel a little swamped at the moment, which is why I was asking about what people do in practice. For instance, do people single out a single frame at a time and keep at it until the print is as good as possible, or do you print all the 'possibles' at once then pick out the 'keepers'? I'd like to think I could save time at 'work print' stage and spend more at 'final print' work.
Mick, would you describe those as work/proof prints or final prints? Either way, this still seems to be more than I would achieve in the same amount of time :rolleyes:
I think it depends on what you want your final print to be? How good is good enough? I usually spend about 30 minutes to an hour to get a print right. I don't really care that my backlog is growing, I will rather have one great print than five mediocre. So I take my time. If I had to print 240 prints (8 x 30 rolls) I would cringe at the thought of making final prints of all of them. I would probably purchase a bunch of 5x7 RC paper and crank out work prints that are decent in contrast and tone. Then I would take some time off from printing, just looking at those prints and decide which ones I r-e-a-l-l-y want to spend time on. I know nothing of automated process, it's not an ambition of mine. - Thomas
darkroom workflow I have found that making a really great print takes time - don't despair. When I return from a trip and have a stack of negs to print, I prioritize them and they go in a bin awaiting time to print. Don't be in a rush. In 30+ years of darkrrom printing I always seem to have a backlog and therefore - something to look forward to. I have found when I try to work too fast, I compromise and never end up with a satisfying print. Good Luck. Tim
I print just "keepers", not "possibiles", unless, for example, model tells me "I really would like this..." (I don't pay models with money but with prints, and I don't sell my prints, that is I sell them very rearly). Then, I print for model (or eventual buyer) that print even if I wouldn't print it for myself. Of course, if I think that image is not up to my "standard", I don't print it. So, I mostly print one or two photographs from photo session, which usually can be 1 to 5 rolls of film, and I use 35mm and 6x7. Of course, there is allways exception from rules...
I do my editing from looking at the film itself. I've shot and processed enough I can tell by looking at a negative if it will be something I want to try and get a good print out of. I've also got my shooting and processing method down consistently enough that I can get a good working print out of most of my negatives from a single baseline exposure. It is rare that looking at a negative you can tell exactly what spots will need burning/dodging though, so there is that need of the work print. I can get good work prints cranked out pretty quick, and my RH Designs Analyser Pro is a big help. I haven't taken the time to do the proper calibration process with it, so I still wing it a bit when it comes to test prints, but the contrast grade calculation and base exposure time calculation are a huge help, especially when it comes to making consistent, repeatable prints.
I ment final print. Let say I shoot 5 rolls of 35mm film. From contact sheet I chose let say 10 (sometime more, sometime less) photographs. By using Jobo ComTime I make those 10 prints, and decide "keepers" to make final prints. Usually I get one or two keepers, maximum five... But, whole process is few days, one day I make processing of negatives, second day for contact proofs, third for test prints, and one day for final prints, or even two days for final if print more than 5 "easy" or 1 to 3 "difficult", that is depend of time needed for prints. I don't spend more than 3 hours in darkroom. All test prints then go to bin I write then all informations how I made particular print on paper or on back of contact proof sheet(s) so if ever want to make another copy in future I don't have to go through all processes again...
my workflow is a process of elimination, or at least of refining. No, I think "distillation" is the best term. The kind intended to produce good single malt. Of course I develop every roll of film. Then I'll make contact sheets of every roll. As that process continues, I'll look at my contacts for possible fine prints, being relatively selective. I'll make work prints of my selections, using a standard aperture and time with no contrast filtration. Sometimes a work print is too light or soft to evaluate and must be reprinted, but normally I can see if there is enough there to pursue. Then I'll let some time pass to see which ones really stick with me. Those I will take the time with to make the best print possible. However much time it takes. And I usually limit a darkroom session to making one best print. It seems if I try to do 2, I run out of time or patience and end up doing the second one over again anyway.
Hate to say this but... I like scanning my negatives first - it's a pain but it's fairly quick and I can quickly tell which ones I am going to print... The end result isn't that good but good enough to tell me if there's potential...
Maybe if I developed my 135s. I shoot 135 in color print only. I shoot 120 in black & white and color. I only process black & white presently. When I scanned the 120 with the flatbed scanner, I spent too much time putting each image strip of four frames together on one sheet of paper to print. Then the printer would eat the color cartriage when I printed it out. I got so fed up with the cost of the color cartriages and the blacks that were not black that I set up a darkroom. Now I put the negative in the plastic archival pages and contact print the sheet. It takes less time than scanning and I keep the contact print with each page of negatives. Then I can look through the binder, pick the frame that I want and the negative is right behind it. All without turning on the computer and worrying that the computer illumination would fog the paper. Just my thoughts. YMMV. Steve
If I have a larger number of prints to do from the same film, I usually have a closer look at the contact sheet, not only to select the images I want to print, but also to get a "feel" of the possible exposure corrections I need to apply. Often, this turns out to be very revealing, but it requires some experience in reviewing the contacts sheets pic's. However, it allows me to make a more educated guess of the right exposure for the next image to print, based on the comparison with the previous one printed... (I don't have an analyzer) Thus saving on the amount of test strips and prints and ultimately time...
One reason to use a larger format. That was one of the reasons I moved up to 6x7 and then 4x5. I could take several hundred exposures on my 35 mm system which is fine for a slide show but almost a nightmare for printing. The larger formats slow things down and make me more selective before I expose the film. When I expose a sheet of 4x5 film, I know I am committing myself to a significant amount of time developing, proofing, etc. so I get more picky. I would get a good loupe and start examining the negatives more than the contact sheets. Get to know what a properly exposed and processed negative looks like which are generally the ones that seem to naturally print well. Then I would force myself to generate a "top 10" of negatives to print, and finally a top 5. If you could generate 5 good prints the first weekend from the negatives you think are best, I think that would be productive.
Some really useful comments and food for thought here, thanks guys. Yes, that does make things much easier, but I was travelling using only public transport this year, and the MF gear coupled with a tripod was near impossible - I tried it on one of the trips, but it weighed me down far too much. Good tip, thanks. A follow-up question, then - do you work through your stuff strictly in order, or can you be distracted by the shiny new stuff?
Yep.. It all takes times.. I just recently started printing my own work a couple months ago. I've been developing for years but alway's had my negs scanned or printed somewhere else. Now, I'm producing contact sheets for hundreds of rolls from years back printing all my keepers (and still learning a ton in the process) I just discovered warmtone paper and want to print everything all over again : > It's quite a process but SO much more enjoyable and rewarding when that final print is complete. I can never see myself going back.
I don't know how limited the gear is you are carrying, but my mobile LF set does not weigh more than 35mm. A good 70-200mm 2.8 lens for 35mm weighs in at a staggering 1.8kg, that is about as much as my whole Tachihara view camera! Taking in other lenses and a reflexbody with vertical grip, my whole gear for 35mm probably weighs about 12kg, including a sturdy tripod. I can do the same for LF... and carry it along just as comfortably... Well, OK, comparatively , I once read an article about Frans Lanting, which is a famous Dutch wildlife photographer who has worked for National Geographic as well. He carried more than 300(!!!) kg of 35mm equipment along in some 15 cases I would like to see the face of the conductor when he passes by to check his tickets...
Yes, I get distracted all the time. Part of the fun of darkroom work is doing whatever seems interesting at the moment. Sometimes I have a queue of negative to print but then I develop new negatives that seem better so I promote them to the top of the heap. I understand what you mean about the portability of 35 mm. However, I think that the quality is not the same. For the most part, I would rather take my Pentax 67 and 1 lens than my EOS 1 and multiple lenses. I just have to challenge myself more with the one lens but the resulting negatives are better. So I might miss some opportunities but the photos I take are more concentrated in a sense. So sometimes taking less gear results in more good negatives. Of course, 35 mm has its place, you just have to deal with scads of tiny negatives.
Eye Tee Dee, Firstly, let me say that I have a fairly strict exposing, processing and printing system, that has been honed over quite a few years, in fact many, many years. After film is processed and dried, I sleeve it and usually look at every frame under a loupe. Sometimes on the same day, but not usually, I will contact print every frame. I have a very good contact printing system, which allows me to (usually) judge what is workable, what is not too flash and what is outstanding. With the contact prints in my hands I retire to the house and check them out over the course of a day or so, the missus also has a good look and gives her two cents worth. I then go to work on the first print I wish to enlarge, firstly with a straight print with base exposure, then another one with highlight exposure. Normally from these, I can extrapolate a final, or very near final print. From then on with the contact sheet information, I can often glean enough information to make enlargements of varying sizes correctly for that shoot. In this particular darkroom session last night, I was working from a single shooting session where I exposed 3 rolls of 35mm and 4 sheets of 4x5 film of the one model, which was held in our backyard. I used Neopan 400 for the 35mm film and TMax 100 for the 4x5 film. I made my third darkroom exposure after checking out shadow and highlight prints, this was virtually spot on and required me to then make some very minor adjustments and the fourth print was on the money. The other two 35mm prints were done withing 20 or so minutes from start to finish. I then switched formats and film type to the larger negative. Using the contact print as a reference I made a first print with what I thought would be correct burning and dodging, I didnt require a second print. About 1 hour ago the model came around and checked out the prints, the only difference she noted between any of them, was that one print had clearer definition and what she thought was more fine detail. When I explained that the clearer print was from the big camera she understood, however, I know she finally understood when she saw the negs on the light box and really saw the size difference! The remark from her was, this is one of those times, that size does make a difference. It was because of this extremely productive printing session I was chuffed. The fact that it took so little time was down to a few factors, experience and good technique, plus practice, practice and more practice. Mick.
Here is my advice for reducing the backlog of unprinted 35mm negatives. 1 After taking the picture cool off by waiting at least a month before evaluating it. 2 Evaluate on a computer monitor after batch scanning . You won't be printing from these scans so they can be low res. & done with a cheap scanner. This is far far far quicker than doing endless proof prints in the darkroom. 3 Knowing exactly what you want to print you can start straight in with your paper of choice( in my case usually Ilford warmtone fibre)instead of starting on RC then having to re adjst when you change over. $ Use a dedicated 35mm enlarger. When I started using a Leitz Valoy 2 I cuoldn't believe how much quicker, easier and more efficient it was than the 35mm /6x6/ 6x9 enlargers I had previously used. Alan Clark
Thanks, AlanC. Your suggestion #1 is very welcome. I've just been going through my contacts from a few months ago, and finding more of interest than I did to start with - means more proofs I suppose but... I have tried the suggestion of scanning negs for proofing purposes, but since I want to learn as much as possible in the darkroom, I feel that would be time wasted, even if it is much less than making darkroom proofs - I figure that even if it takes me too long, I am picking up experience that would be lost sitting in front of a computer screen. That's not to say that I don't still scan stuff if I want to check a one-off though BTW, what advantages did you find by using a dedicated 35mm enlarger?

Scott Fruin is Assistant Professor in Preventive Medicine, in the Division of Environmental Health. His research focuses on air pollution exposure assessment and includes field measurements in support of population-based, longitudinal health studies. Of particular interest to Dr. Fruin is better characterization of high exposure environments such as in-vehicle, near-vehicle and near-roadway environments, and the use of mobile approaches to map spatial differences in pollution. Recently, he has been measuring neighborhood exposures near the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Dr. Fruin is also interested in strengthening the links between pollution measurements and health outcomes, such as adapting bioassay measurements of the biological activity of particulate matter for comparison to chronic health effects, including asthma and reduced rates of lung growth.

See Beautiful New Posters For Martin Scorsese's Classic Film Picks
Martin Scorsese's film preservation society is screening restored prints of classics at the Alamo Drafthouse, with specially commissioned posters.
While Martin Scorsese may be looking toward the future of film (as demonstrated by the 3-D effects of his recent Hugo), the master director also has a legendary appreciation for the rich history of cinema. Nowhere is his love more evident, though, than in the work of his film preservation organization, which is celebrating a mini-festival of restored classics with a series of contemporary posters.
The new initiative is a collaboration between Scorsese's FIlm Foundation and the Alamo Drafthouse , where you definitely don't want to be caught talking on your cellphone. All throughout May and June, Austin residents are invited to attend a special screening of eight classic films with gorgeously restored 35mm prints. To commemorate the event, the Foundation commissioned an impressive batch of new movies posters from pulpy design house, Mondo, which you can view in the slide show above and purchase at the event (with remaining prints available online).
The movies screening in May and June are King Kong, The Night of the Hunter, The Old Dark House, Paths of Glory, Rashomon, Shadow of a Doubt, The Unholy Three , and Film. The Film Foundation, the world's leading film preservation society, has worked with the nation's archives to save over 560 titles.
See posters for six of the titles in the slide show above.

Entanglement is a mysterious quantum phenomenon that is widely, but mistakenly, described as capable of transmitting information over vast distances faster than the speed of light. It has proved very popular with science writers, philosophers of science, and many scientists who hope to use the mystery to deny some of the basic concepts underlying quantum physics.
Entanglement depends on two quantum properties that are simply impossible in "classical" physics. One is called nonlocality. The other is nonseparability. Each of these might be considered a mystery in its own right, but fortunately information physics (and the information interpretation of quantum mechanics) can explain them both, with no equations, in a way that should be understandable to the lay person.
This may not be good news for the science writers and publishers who turn out so many titles each year claiming that quantum physics implies that there are multiple parallel universes, that the minds of physicists are manipulating "quantum reality," that there is nothing "really" there until we look at it, that we can travel backwards in time, that things can be in two places at the same time, that we can teleport material from one place to another, and of course that we can can send signals faster than the speed of light.
Einstein's Discovery of Nonlocality and Nonseparability
Albert Einstein was the first to see the nonlocal character of quantum phenomena.He may have seen it as early as 1905, the same year he published his special theory of relativity. But it was perfectly clear to him 22 years later (ten years after his general theory of relativity and his explanation of how quanta of light are emitted and absorbed by atoms), when he described it with a diagram on the blackboard at a conference of physicists from around the world in Belgium in 1927 at the fifth Solvay conference.
In his contribution to the 1949 Schilpp memorial volume on Einstein, Niels Bohr provided a picture of what Einstein drew on the blackboard.
At the general discussion in Como, we all missed the presence of Einstein, but soon after, in October 1927, I had the opportunity to meet him in Brussels at the Fifth Physical Conference of the Solvay Institute, which was devoted to the theme "Electrons and Photons."Then in 1935, Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen proposed a thought experiment (known by their initials as EPR) to exhibit internal contradictions in the new quantum physics. Einstein hoped to show that quantum theory could not describe certain intuitive "elements of reality" and thus was either incomplete or, as he hoped, demonstrably incorrect. He and his colleagues Erwin Schrödinger, Max Planck, and others hoped for a return to deterministic physics, and the elimination of mysterious quantum phenomena like superposition of states and "collapse" of the wave function. EPR continues to fascinate determinist philosophers of science who hope to prove that quantum indeterminacy does not exist. Beyond the problem of nonlocality, the EPR thought experiment introduced the problem of "nonseparability." This mysterious phenomenon appears to transfer something physical faster than the speed of light. What happens actually is merely an instantaneous change in the immaterial information about probabilities or possibilities for locating a particle. The 1935 EPR paper was based on a question of Einstein's about two electrons fired in opposite directions from a central source with equal velocities. He imagined them starting at t0 some distance apart and approaching one another with high velocities. Then for a short time interval from t1 to t1 + Δt the particles are in contact with one another. After the particles are measured at t1, quantum mechanics describes them with a single two-particle wave function that is not the product of independent particle wave functions. Because electrons are indistinguishable particles, it is not proper to say electron 1 goes this way and electron 2 that way. (Nevertheless, it is convenient to label the particles, as we do in illustrations below.) Until the next measurement, it is misleading to think that specific particles have distinguishable paths. Einstein said correctly that at a later time t2, a measurement of one electron's position would instantly establish the position of the other electron - without measuring it explicitly. Schrödinger described the two electrons as "entangled" (verschränkt) at their first measurement, so "nonlocality" phenomena are also known as "quantum entanglement." Note that Einstein used conservation of linear momentum to calculate the position of the second electron. Although conservation laws are rarely cited as the explanation, they are the physical reason that entangled particles always produce correlated results. If the results were not always correlated, the implied violation of a fundamental conservation law would be a much bigger story than entanglement itself, as interesting as that is. spin down ( - ),
| ψ > = 1/√2) | + - > - 1/√2) | - + >
The principles of quantum mechanics say that the prepared system is in a linear combination (or superposition) of these two states, and can provide only the probabilities of finding the entangled system in either the + - state or the - + state. Quantum mechanics does not describe the paths or the spins of the individual particles. Note that should measurements result in + + or - - state, that would violate the conservation of angular momentum.
EPR tests can be done more easily with polarized photons than with electrons, which require complex magnetic fields. The first of these was done in 1972 by Stuart Freedman and John Clauser at UC Berkeley. They used oppositely polarized photons (one with spin = +1, the other spin = -1) coming from a central source. Again, the total photon spin of zero is conserved. Their data, in agreement with quantum mechanics, violated the Bell's inequalities to high statistical accuracy, thus providing strong evidence against local hidden-variable theories. For more on superposition of states and the physics of photons, see the Dirac 3-polarizers experiment. John Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony, and Richard Holt (known collectively as CHSH) and later Alain Aspect did more sophisticated tests. The outputs of the polarization analyzers were fed to a coincidence detector that records the instantaneous measurements, described as + -, - +, + +, and - - . The first two ( + - and - + ) conserve the spin angular momentum and are the only types ever observed in these nonlocality/entanglement tests.
How Information Physics Explains Nonlocality, Nonseparability, and Entanglement
Information physics starts with the fact that measurements bring new stable information into existence. In EPR the information in the prepared state of the two particles includes the fact that the total linear momentum and the total angular momentum are zero.
New information requires an irreversible process that also increases the entropy more than enough to compensate for the information increase, to satisfy the second law of thermodynamics. It is this moment of irreversibility and the creation of new observable information that is the "cut" or Schnitt" described by Werner Heisenberg and John von Neumann in the famous problem of measurement
Note that the new observable information does not require a "conscious observer" as Eugene Wigner and some other scientists thought. The information is ontological (really in the world) and not merely epistemic (in the mind). Without new information, there would be nothing for the observers to observe.
Initially Prepared Information Plus Conservation Laws
Conservation laws are the consequence of extremely deep properties of nature that arise from simple considerations of symmetry. We regard these laws as "cosmological principles." Physical laws do not depend on the absolute place and time of experiments, nor their particular direction in space. Conservation of linear momentum depends on the translation invariance of physical systems, conservation of energy the independence of time, and conservation of angular momentum the invariance under rotations.
Recall that the EPR experiment starts with two electrons (or photons) prepared in an entangled state that is a mixture of pure two-particle states, each of which conserves the total angular momentum and, of course, conserves the linear momentum as in Einstein's original EPR example. This information about the linear and angular momenta is established by the initial state preparation (a measurement).
Quantum mechanics describes the probability amplitude wave function ψ of the two-particle system as in a superposition of two-particle states. It is not a product of single-particle states, and there is no information about the identical indistinguishable electrons traveling along distinguishable paths.
| ψ > = 1/√2) | + - > + 1/√2) | - + > (1)
The probability amplitude wave function ψ travels from the source (at the speed of light or less). Let's assume that at t0 observer A finds an electron (e1) with spin up.
After the first measurement, new information comes into existence telling us that the wave function ψ has "collapsed" into the state | + - >. Just as in the two-slit experiment, probabilities have now become certainties. If the first measurement finds electron 1 is spin up, so the entangled electron 2 must be spin down to conserve angular momentum.
And conservation of linear momentum tells us that at t0 the second electron is equidistant from the source in the opposite direction.
It was simply determined by her measurement.
Why do so few accounts of entanglement mention conservation laws?
Although Einstein mentioned conservation in the original EPR paper, it is noticeably absent from later work. A prominent exception is Eugene Wigner, writing on the problem of measurement in 1963:
If a measurement of the momentum of one of the particles is carried out — the possibility of this is never questioned — and gives the result p, the state vector of the other particle suddenly becomes a (slightly damped) plane wave with the momentum -p. This statement is synonymous with the statement that a measurement of the momentum of the second particle would give the result -p, as follows from the conservation law for linear momentum. The same conclusion can be arrived at also by a formal calculation of the possible results of a joint measurement of the momenta of the two particles. One can go even further: instead of measuring the linear momentum of one particle, one can measure its angular momentum about a fixed axis. If this measurement yields the value mℏ, the state vector of the other particle suddenly becomes a cylindrical wave for which the same component of the angular momentum is -mℏ. This statement is again synonymous with the statement that a measurement of the said component of the angular momentum of the second particle certainly would give the value -mℏ. This can be inferred again from the conservation law of the angular momentum (which is zero for the two particles together) or by means of a formal analysis. Hence, a "contraction of the wave packet" took place again. It is also clear that it would be wrong, in the preceding example, to say that even before any measurement, the state was a mixture of plane waves of the two particles, traveling in opposite directions. For no such pair of plane waves would one expect the angular momenta to show the correlation just described. This is natural since plane waves are not cylindrical waves, or since [the state vector has] properties different from those of any mixture. The statistical correlations which are clearly postulated by quantum mechanics (and which can be shown also experimentally, for instance in the Bothe-Geiger experiment) demand in certain cases a "reduction of the state vector." The only possible question which can yet be asked is whether such a reduction must be postulated also when a measurement with a macroscopic apparatus is carried out. [Considerations] show that even this is true if the validity of quantum mechanics is admitted for all systems.
Visualizing Entanglement and Nonlocality
Schrödinger said that his "Wave Mechanics" provided more "visualizability" (Anschaulichkeit) than the Copenhagen school and its "damned quantum jumps" as he called them. He was right.
But we must focus on the probability amplitude wave function of the prepared two-particle state, and not attempt to describe the paths or locations of independent particles - at least until after some measurement has been made. We must also keep in mind the conservation laws that Einstein used to discover nonlocal behavior in the first place. Then we can see that the "mystery" of nonlocality is primarily the same mystery as the single-particle collapse of the wave function.
As Richard Feynman said, there is only one mystery in quantum mechanics (the collapse of probability and the consequent statistical outcomes).
We choose to examine a phenomenon which is impossible, absolutely impossible, to explain in any classical way, and which has in it the heart of quantum mechanics. In reality, it contains the only mystery. We cannot make the mystery go away by "explaining" how it works. We will just tell you how it works. In telling you how it works we will have told you about the basic peculiarities of all quantum mechanics.In his 1935 paper, Schrödinger described the two particles in EPR as "entangled" in English, and verschränkt in German, which means something like cross-linked. It describes someone standing with arms crossed. In the time evolution of an entangled two-particle state according to the Schrödinger equation, we can visualize it - as we visualize the single-particle wave function - as collapsing when a measurement is made. The discontinuous "jump" is also described as the "reduction of the wave packet." This is apt in the two-particle case, where the superposition of | + - > and | - + > states is "projected" or "reduced: to one of these states, and then further reduced to the product of independent one-particle states. In the two-particle case (instead of just one particle making an appearance), when either particle is measured we know instantly those properties of the other particle that satisfy the conservation laws, including its location equidistant from, but on the opposite side of, the source, and its other properties such as spin. "I consider [entanglement] not as one, but as the characteristic trait of quantum mechanics, the one that enforces its entire departure from classical lines of thought."Schrödinger knew that his two-particle wave function could not have the same simple interpretation as the single particle, which can be visualized in ordinary 3-dimensional configuration space. And he is right that entanglement exhibits a richer form of the "action-at-a-distance" and nonlocality that Einstein had already identified in the collapse of the single particle wave function. But the main difference is that two particles acquire new properties instead of one, and they do it instantaneously (at faster than light speeds), just as in the case of a single-particle measurement. Nonlocality and entanglement are thus just another manifestation of Feynman's "only" mystery. In both single-particle and two-particle cases paradoxes appear only when we attempt to describe independent particles following a path to measurement by observer A (and/or observer B).
EPR "Loopholes" and Free Will
Investigators who try to recover the "elements of local reality" that Einstein wanted, and who hope to eliminate the irreducible randomness of quantum mechanics that follows from wave functions as probability amplitudes, often cite "loopholes" in EPR experiments. For example, the "detection loophole" claims that the efficiency of detectors is so low that they are missing many events that might prove Einstein was right.
Most all the loopholes have now been closed, but there is one loophole that can never be closed because of its metaphysical/philosophical nature. That is the "(pre-)determinism loophole."
If every event occurs for reasons that were established at the beginning of the universe, then all the careful experimental results are meaningless. John Conway and Simon Kochen have formalized this loophole in what they call the Free Will Theorem.
Although Conway and Kochen do not claim to have proven free will in humans, they assert that should such a freedom exist, then the same freedom must apply to the elementary particles.
What Conway and Kochen are really describing is the indeterminism that quantum mechanics has introduced into the world. Although indeterminism is a requirement for human freedom, it is insufficient by itself to provide both "free" and "will".
Philosophers and scientists (Roger Penrose, for example) have speculated that nonlocality might be involved in consciousness.

The food that Jacob's sons had brought from Egypt did not last long, for Jacob's family was large. Along with his family, there were servants and men who cared for Jacob's flocks. So around Jacob's tent was a camp of other tents and an army of people.
Judah, Jacob's son, the man who years before had urged his brothers to sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites , said to his father, "It is of no use for us to go to Egypt unless we take Benjamin with us. The man who rules in that land told us we would not see his face unless our youngest brother was with us."
Jacob asked, "Why did you tell the man that you had a brother? You did me great harm when you told him."
"We had to tell him," answered the sons. "He kept asking us about our family. He wanted to know if our father was living, and if we had any more brothers. We had no idea that he would want us to bring our brother to see him."
Judah said, "Father, send Benjamin with me. I promise to take care of him and bring him safely home. If he does not come back, let me bear the blame forever. He must go or we will all die of starvation."
Reluctantly, Jacob consented. "If he must go, then he must. But take a present to the man, some of the choicest fruits of the land, some spices, perfumes, nuts, and almonds. And take twice as much money, besides the money that was in your sacks. Perhaps that was a mistake, when the money was given back to you. Take your brother Benjamin. May the Lord God make the man kind to you, so that he will set Simeon free, and let you bring Benjamin back. But if it is God's will that I lose my children, I cannot help it."
So ten brothers of Joseph went down a second time to Egypt. They came to Joseph's office, the place where he sold grain to the people. They stood before their brother and bowed as before. Joseph saw that Benjamin was with them, and he said to his steward, the man who was over his house, "Make ready a dinner, for all these men shall dine with me today."
When Joseph's brothers found that they were taken into Joseph's house, they were filled with fear. They said to each other, "We have been taken here on account of the money in our sacks. They will say that we have stolen it, and then they will sell us all for slaves."
But Joseph's steward treated the men kindly, and when they spoke of the money in their sacks, he would not take it. He said, "Never fear. Your God must have sent you this as a gift. I had your money."
The steward received the men into Joseph's house, and washed their feet, according to the custom of the land. At noon, Joseph came in to meet them. They brought him the present from their father, and again they bowed before him, with their faces on the ground.
Joseph asked them if they were well, and said, "Is your father still living? Is he well?"
They answered, "Our father is living and well." And again, they bowed to Joseph.
Joseph look at his younger brother Benjamin, the child of his own mother, Rachel. He said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious unto you, my son."
Joseph's heart was so full that he could not keep back the tears. He quickly went to his own room and wept there. Then he washed his face, came out again, and ordered the table to be set for dinner. They set Joseph's table for himself as the ruler, and another table for his Egyptian officers, and another for the eleven men from Canaan. All eleven brothers were there now because Joseph had brought Simeon out of the prison, and had given him a place with his brothers.
Joseph himself arranged the order of the seats for his brothers, the oldest at the head. All were in order of age down to the youngest. The men wondered at this. How could he possibly know the order of their ages?
Joseph sent dishes from his table to his brothers. He gave to Benjamin five times as much as to the others. Perhaps he wished to see whether they were as jealous of Benjamin as they had been of him.
After dinner, Joseph said to his steward, "Fill the men's sacks with grain, as much as they can carry. Put each man's money in his sack. And put my silver cup in the sack of the youngest, with his money."
The steward did as Joseph had said. Early in the morning the brothers started to go home. A little while afterward, Joseph said to his steward, "Quick! Follow after the men from Canaan and say, "Why have you wronged me, after I had treated you kindly? You have stolen my master's silver cup, out of which he drinks."
The steward followed the men, and overtook them, and charged them with stealing. They said to him, "Why should you talk to us in this manner? We have stolen nothing. We even brought back to you the money that we found in our sacks. So is it likely that we would steal from your lord his silver or gold? You may search us. If you find your master's cup on any of us, let him die, and sell the rest of us as slaves."
Then they took down the sacks from the donkeys, oopened them, and in each man's sack was his money, for the second time. But when they came to Benjamin's sack, there was the ruler's silver cup! Overcome with grief, they tied up their bags again, and laid them on the donkeys, and returned to Joseph's palace.
Joseph was waiting for them. He demanded, "What wicked thing is this that you have done? Didn't you know that I would surely find out your deeds?"
Judah answered him, "Oh my lord, what can we say? God has punished us for our sins, and now we must all be slaves, but us that are older, and the youngest in whose sack the cup was found."
"No!" shouted Joseph. "Only one of you is guilty, the one who has taken away my cup. I will hold him as a slave, and the rest of you can go home to your father."
Then Judah, the very man who had urged his brothers to sell Joseph as a slave, came forward, fell at Joseph's feet, and pleaded with him to let Benjamin go. He told again the whole story, how Benjamin was the one whom his father loved the most of allhis children, now that his brother was lost.
Judah said, "I promised to bear the blame, if this boy was not brought home in safety. If he does not go back, it will kill our poor old father, who has seen much trouble. Please let my youngest brother go home to his father, and I will stay here as a slave in his place!"
Joseph asked them to come near him so he could speak to them. They gathered close, wondering what he had to say.
Joseph explained, "I am Joseph. Is my father really alive?"
How frightened his brothers were when they heard these words, spoken in their own language by the ruler of Egypt. For the first time, they knew that this stern man, who had their lives in his hand, was their own brother whom they had wronged!
Joseph spoke again, "I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt. But do not feel troubled because of what you did. For God sent me before you to save your lives. There have been already two years of need and famine, and there are to be five years more, when there shall neither be plowing of the fields nor harvest. It was not you who sent me here, but God. He sent me to save your lives. God has made me like a father to Pharaoh and ruler over all the land of Egypt. Now, go home, and bring down to my my father and all his family, for that is the only way to save their lives."
Then Joseph placed his arms around Benjamin's neck, and kissed him, and wept upon him. Benjamin wept on his neck. Joseph kissed all his brothers, to show them that he had fully forgiven them. After that, his brothers began to lose their fear of Joseph, and talked with him more freely.
Afterward Joseph sent his brothers home with good news, rich gifts, and abundant food. He sent also wagons in which Jacob and his wives and the little ones of his family might ride from Canaan down to Egypt. Joseph's brothers went home happier than they had been for many years.

Learn how to wash a quilt safely so that your quilts survive for future generations to enjoy. These simple steps will preserve your quilting legacy!
We assume you've tested for bleeding fabric ahead of time. Remember that if you prewash fabrics before it they are used in a quilt, this does not insure the fabric is colorfast. Only testing can do that.
These instructions are based on quilts pieced with 100% cotton fabrics. If you use a quilt batting other than cotton, wool or polyester, do check the batting for any special washing instructions.
If you have an antique quilt, consult with a professional before washing it yourself. The quilt fabrics are weakened by time, you don't know if the fabrics are colorfast, or whether any chemicals have been applied. Consult the experts.
...just lifting a wet quilt puts lots of strain on quilting stitches. Even more so if the quilting is sparse. The less quilting, the more strain on each individual stitch.Support the quilt as much as possible anytime the quilt is wet to prevent your stitches from breaking or popping.
...lay a sheet in the bottom of the tub, underneath the quilt. Wash as usual. Now after all the water has been drained and "smushed" out, use the sheet like handles to lift the wet quilt and eliminate the strain on the stitches. You may find it handy to transport your wet quilt in a laundry basket.
...this puts too much strain on the quilting.
...run an empty load first before washing your quilt. A quilter recently told me of how she washed her king-size quilt at a laundromat. There must have been bleach left in the dispenser...the backing ended up spotted...thank goodness the top survived. But it was a close one.

Blue Money
Janet Capron
New York City, 1971, a balmy August evening: Just seven blocks from her childhood home, a young woman walks into a Park Avenue apartment and into the troubled arms of her first trick.
So begins Blue Money—a
mostly true account of life in New York's gritty downtown scene— and an
intimate, no-holds-barred portrait of prostitution in the lawless era before
AIDS and the War on Drugs.
Janet quickly embraces "the Life" and despite a ferocious
addiction to speed and semi-frequent hallucinations, she manages to keep
things professional, whether she's dressed as a genie at the Sultan's Retreat
or playing Eve in a live sex show. But her past is catching up to her, and the
fast life can't go on forever. The brothels and ginmills become increasingly
hard to navigate as the streets turn violent and her own intense love
affairs collapse.
Capron's voice is bold, darkly comedic, and explicit, offering a complicated
depiction of what it means to be truly liberated even in the face of her own
radical descent into Avenue C penury and addiction.
Cover photograph by Leland Bobbé
Praise for Blue Money
"BLUE MONEY is nothing less than a total reboot of a genre hitherto dominated by the male "bad boy" writer. Perfect that this story takes place in the free-wheeling 1970s because it brilliantly recalls the voices of that era's literary enfant terribles—Exley, McGuane, Donleavy—and in the process creates something thoroughly new and uniquely feminine. A marvelous debut!"
—Helaine Olen, author of POUND FOOLISH
"Those who appreciate trigger warnings may not appreciate this book. But for anyone else, Capron's eloquent and electric memoir of radical feminism, avid prostitution, and the wish for old-fashioned love will be hard to put down."
—Daniel Bergner, author of WHAT DO WOMEN WANT?

CBS News is reporting that at least 12 people are soon to be charged in the hazing death of FAMU drum major Robert Champion, while The Washington Post is reporting that at least 5 will be charged.
Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings reportedly told The Associated Press that multiple defendants will be charged in 26-year-old Robert Champion's November 2011 death. All those charged are believed to have been involved in Champion's hazing that took place on a band bus after a performance.
Champion's family believes their son was singled out because he was opposed to hazing.
"The main reason that we heard is because he was against hazing, and he was totally against it," Champion's father, Robert Champion Sr. said in an interview.
Although no arrests have been made, Orlando's State Attorney's Office said that multiple arrests are forthcoming. The family of Champion has also filed a civil lawsuit.
Investigators say Champion suffered blunt trauma to the head and died from shock caused by severe bleeding. Hazing that involves physical harm is a felony in the state of Florida.

Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
It's still going to be a while before I can purchase a new tractor, but I've been looking at the 3016 and I was wondering if it would be possible to use a 72" finishing mower with it. I'm also looking at the 3616, but I'm not sure if I will be able to fit that in my budget when I get ready to buy. Anyone have a 3016 and use a 72" finish mower with it? Does it get bogged down?
Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
Does anyone use a 72" finish mower on any tractor with a 21 hp PTO? Or even a 29 hp PTO? The 3616 HST has 29 hp PTO and I'm looking at that one too, but mostly looking at the 3016 HST.

I used a 72in kk finish mower on a 2615 gear mahindra without any problems. I think it was 23 pto hp.

Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
I have a 2810HST and run a 72" KK Rear discharge mower with no problem at all and have done so for quite a few years now. I perfer to mow when it rains just to hold the dust down, i was mowing around 33 acres a week last year and the grass was growing about 4" a week. With finish mowers you can run a larger mower with less HP by using a rear discharge mower, simply because the grass passes straight out the back instead of through all the blades then out the discharge.
Lord, Help me to be the man my dog thinks i am . . .John. Mahindra 2810HST, 108H loader with Quick tach buckets and forks. Kioti DK35SE HST with loader, Hyd. top link and second set of rear remotes, 60" and 66" buckets, Kubota 900 RTV and a bunch of other good stuff
Buy more equipment, It makes life easier.!
Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
Thanks! I kind of figured with a rear discharge finishing mower I would be ok with the hp. I just wanted to get some other options from others.

Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
Sorry I'm replying late, but I recently joined the forum.
I have exactly what you're looking at, a Mahindra 3016 Hydrostatic with a 72" finish "Mahindra" mower.
I can't complain about the set up. The 3016 does get the mower running to speed pretty easily. But I do have to watch my mowing speed if I let the grass get to tall. YES it will bog down if your travel speed is too high or when I'm going up hill. I do like the Hydro transmission. It soaks up some horsepower but it is so easy to operate the tractor efficiently.
I would offer this caution... look around for a good finish mower. I bought a "Mahindra" 72 inch mower that I later found on the Northern Tool website for considerably less money. Yes it's painted red and has a mahindra decal, but that's about all Mahindra has to do with this chinese mower. Further I've had problems with it since I got it. Wheels falling apart and spindles failing. And I can't find replacement parts to fix it myself.
If I had it to do over again, I'd buy a Massey-Ferguson with at least 35hp at the PTO and I'd get a Name Brand finish mower with parts available online. Ah, live and learn.
Good luck!
Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
Glad to hear your thoughts. I've also looked at the Massey Fergusons as well. I like the specs on the Mahindra and the 5 year warranty. That's one of the reasons I've leaned more towards the Mahindra. I'd love to hear your pros and cons about your experience with the 3016.

Re: Mahindra 3016 with 72" Finish Mower?
Well the 3016 is my first tractor.
I bought the tractor new in 2011 with a front end loader and the afore mentioned finish mower. The 3016 and the FEL haven't failed me yet. The FEL is an amazing tool that just keeps on going. The 3016 is still new and other than having some awkward routine maintenance issues it's good. For instance, you have to remove the right engine side panel to check the engine oil level. Not a big deal, but it gets old after a while. Also, I've been trying to search for a replacement transmission filter besides the Mahindra brand and it's proved to be a challenge.
I went with the 3016 because of the price and size. I do regret not going for more horsepower as mentioned above.
I'm on 7 acres where about 2/3rds is open field. I'm still trying to decide what to do with all of the land, but in the mean time I'm cutting grass, lots of grass. It's primarily flat land with some swells. I find that the engine RPM's will fall as I'm going up the swells, leading me to think "We need more horsepower here."
I had the choice of AG, R4 (industrial) or Turf tires. I selected the R4 tires because I thought they would be a good compromise given the turf duty and the Michigan winters the tractor would have to work through. As it turns out I now believe the Turf tires would have been a better choice. When I clear snow from my driveway those R4 tires love to spin away. In spring the R4's love to squeeze the water out of my lawn whenever I turn. The R4's look cool but the Turf tires would have been a more practical choice for me.
Oh, one thing I did relatively early was replace the seat. I was getting beat to death if I would hit a bump or rut. I replaced the OEM Mahindra seat with a "suspension seat" from Northern Tool (about $250) and I'm still glad I invested in that. Unless you're going to ride across a 'pool table' lawn, you should consider a seat change. The OEM seat has springs but they are like like valve springs for a roller cam (i.e. Incredibly stiff).
That's about it off the top of my head. I've tried to be as unbiased as I can be. While I wish I had more horsepower in a tractor I also wish I had 100 more acres and a bigger bank account. But given life's realities I have what I could afford at the time and it has proven to get the job done.
Of course, the finish mower is a completely different story. That's a regrettable loss that I'm dealing with today.

There's no shortage of smartphones here in the country. With local tech giants steamrolling in the market with offerings that boast capable hardware without the lofty price tags, choosing the device that suits you best is now a difficult thing to pull off. MyPhone has been bullish in building up its My family, and the company has been doing a pretty good job at it thus far. The My35 and the My36, anyone?
MyPhone My32 review |
What we have right here is MyPhone's My32 – a lightweight contender in the budget spectrum, yet a capable go-getter in itself. Will it rise above the sea of smartphones that have been flooding the segment? We find out.
For the first part of our MyPhone My32 review (Unboxing and Build Quality): Click Here!
Display Quality
Display test |
Display panels with HD resolution seem to be the standard now, and we're pleased to report that the My32 is part of it. Its 5-inch display comes with a 1280 x 720 display, which delivers crisp enough text and clear enough images. Color reproduction is also on point, but its brightness levels are kind of a mixed bag. Still, there's nothing to complain about sunlight legibility as you can put it to maximum on quick access. Another note, it only features a two-point multitouch, so good luck with multiple key presses.
Multitouch test |
MyPhone took the liberty and added a screen film in the bundle so you don't have to worry about scratches and whatnot. Which, in this case, would also seem somewhat unnecessary as the My32 already comes protected with a layer of Gorilla Glass.
Audio Quality
The My32 features a single speaker on the back of the handset. Surprisingly, it's really quite loud as opposed to other smartphones in range. It's great for watching movies and video clips since it can easily fill up a small room. How its speakers perform however hugely differ from its DAC performance. Audio details are somewhat muddled, and volume levels are toned down quite a bit on a Sennheiser PX 80.
Battery Life
Battery test |
Smartphones in the budget category thankfully feature batteries that can last you a while, and the My32 is no exception to that. Its 2000mAh can deliver a day's worth of battery without any hitch, and its standby time can really go far. Geekbench yielded about 9 hours of screen time, so you're safe if you plan on stepping it up a notch in multimedia and gaming.
Rear camera with flash |
As to what we've expected from the My32 with regards to its price tag, its camera doesn't really offer much. News as of late indicate that it features an unspecified 13MP Samsung sensor, but it's all hype. Sure it's usable when it comes to daily needs that can take decent shots in well lit places and some conditions, but you'll be begging much if you're planning to make it your daily driver. It may also require a lot of patience before you get the shot you wanted.
Furthermore, while its 5MP selfie camera seems to be a performer on paper, it doesn't really stack up on its number. It's acceptable, but no focus and mediocre low-light performance may not cut it for the selfie-savvy. It's also violetish in color and doesn't perform that well in low light.

Here are some benchmark results for your convenience |
Even at this time, The MediaTek MT6592M still delivers in terms of performance. It comes with a1.4GHz octa-core CPU, Mali 450 GPU, and 2GB of RAM, which, by today's standards, is still a speedy setup. We're pleased with the 16GB internal storage, too, as most phones in this range still feature partitioned storage spaces, a paltry 4GB, or the standard 8GB.
Graphic-intensive games such as Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Chaos Rings III, Marvel Contest of Champions can run. There are stutters, yes, but they're barely minimal so to speak.
Software |
Coming from a vanilla faithful, the My32 is right where it's at. It features Android 5.1 Lollipop, and it looks clean and modern. MyPhone didn't do any heavy customizations in the user-interface and navigation, and all of the changes the company made are on aesthetics and an unfortunate bunch of bloatware.
The icons are still from days of old Android, but you can easily change it with a simple icon pack or a launcher switch. Bloatware, however, seem to be excessive, but it's something that only takes a couple to uninstall. Retain the commonly used social media apps that you want, while nuke other apps that you're not planning on using anytime soon.
Pros - Capable performance, Gorilla Glass equipped, lengthy battery life, loud, clear volume from its speaker, light weight, classy leather watch included, affordable price
Cons - Navigation buttons aren't backlit, camera setup could be better, glossy plastic back panel is a fingerprint magnet, bloatware
While the MyPhone My32 didn't hit all the checkboxes, its price plays a huge part in the decision. If you're looking for performance without the tradeoff in longevity, the My32 easily delivers. It's available in a price that won't break your bank. It feels easy in the pocket, both figuratively and literally.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a smartphone that comes with a beastly camera setup, you'll want to go higher and settle for the My35 or the My36 if you have the budget.

Sorry, this item sold. Have classicwrecks make something just for you, or try these other items:
Another head turner from the musclecar period, the Ford Boss Mustang. It has a great rusty detailed engine. The glass is shattered. There is lots of body rot. The tires are worn and muddy. The interior is shredded. This is what the rustang looked like before they were restored to pristine condition suitable for Barret Jackson.

text: I am still here. Reading your blogs even though I don't post much myself. This picture is from my last race two weeks ago. Nothing but HILLS! Definitely the roughest road 5k I have ever ran. This weekend is a 7k. I ran it last year, so I am looking forward to seeing if I can improve my time. Still at Weight Watchers. Scale is slow to move since I started training for my 10mile run in June. Hope everyone is doing great! We just have to keep pushing forward!
