Kodak to Discontinue Black-And-White Paper - Yahoo! News
By BEN DOBBIN, AP Business Writer Wed Jun 15, 7:42 PM ETROCHESTER, N.Y. - Ending a century-old tradition, Eastman Kodak Co. will soon stop making black-and-white photographic paper, a niche product for fine-art photographers and hobbyists that is rapidly being supplanted by digital-imaging systems.
Kodak said Wednesday it will discontinue production of the paper, specially designed for black-and-white film, at the end of this year. But the world’s biggest film manufacturer will continue to make black-and-white film and chemicals for processing.
The hours I spent in the darkroom. To this day the smell of vinegar(acetic acid) never fails to bring a smile to my face. There was always something magical about watching an image appear on a sheet of polycontrast. It’s not quite the same thing, watching an action run in photoshop. You know?

Incertus
I guess what I strive for is to live life as best I can in spite of the added burden of OCD. Living with OCD isn’t “fair”. We didn’t do anything to deserve it but one cannot sit around and indulge in self pity, thats a one way ticket to a life of resentment and sadness.A wise old man once told me that, “Life is very fair, it treats everyone like shit.”
Now ain’t that the truth

As Cosmos 1, the first solar sail spacecraft, orbits our planet, it will be visible from nearly everywhere on its surface at one time or another—so everyone on Earth can participate in our mission!
Here’s how you can track the flight of the first solar sail as it passes overhead:

A couple of years ago NASA had a thing going where you could add your name and it would be carried on a CD aboard this spacecraft. I signed up and got a nice certificate to boot. Closest I’ll ever get to space travel, so might as well do it with a bang.

By Deborah ZabarenkoWASHINGTON (Reuters) - NASA’s Deep Impact probe is scheduled to lob a big copper “bullet” into a comet on July 4 to look into the heart of this remnant from the formation of our solar system, scientists said on Thursday.
Impact is expected at 1:52 a.m. EDT (0552 GMT) on U.S. Independence Day.
About a day before the collision, the Deep Impact craft will send a 317-pound (144 kg) copper-fortified impactor toward comet Tempel 1, which will be about 83 million miles from Earth.
The impactor will steer itself toward the comet and the Deep Impact craft will pass about 310 miles away from it and watch the smash-up, the scientists said at a briefing.
Rick Grammier, the project manager for the mission, called this maneuver “extremely challenging.”
