Black HERstory...Wilma Rudolph
Athlete, Olympic track and field champion. Born on June 23, 1940, in St. Bethlehem, Tennessee. Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field events at the Olympics. But the road to victory was not an easy one for her. Born premature and sickly as a child, Rudolph had problems with her left leg and had to wear a brace. It was with great determination and with the help of physical therapy that she was able to overcome her physical disabilities. Growing up in the South during days of segregation, Rudolph attended an African-American high school where she played on the basketball team. A naturally gifted runner, she later recruited for the track team.
While still in high school, Rudolph qualified for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia. At the age of 16, she was the youngest member of the U.S. team and won a bronze medal in the sprint relay event. After finishing high school, Rudolph enrolled at Tennessee State University where she studied education. She also trained hard for the next Olympics.
Held in Rome, Italy, the 1960 Olympics were a golden time for Rudolph. She won the 100 meter, 200 meter, and sprint relay events, making her one of the popular athletes from the games. This first-class sprinter became a sports superstar, celebrated around the world for her achievements. She made numerous appearances on television and received several honors, including being named the Associated Press Woman Athlete of the Year twice.
After retiring from competition in the early 1960s, Rudolph worked as a teacher and a track coach. She shared her remarkable story with the world in 1977 with her autobiography, Wilma. Her book was later turned into a television film. In the 1980s, she was inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame and established the Wilma Rudolph Foundation to promote amateur athletics.
Rudolph died on November 12, 1994, near Nashville, Tennessee, from brain cancer. In 2004, the United States Postal Service honored this Olympic champion by featuring her likeness on a 23-cent stamp. She is remembered as one of the fastest women in track and as a source of great inspiration for generations of African-American athletes.
Interracial Dating.. Does It Bother You?
I was having a interesting conversation with a friend of mine and we were discussing interracial dating. I know some people don't have issues with it but will state they won't date outside their race. I know for me it's not a big deal and even though I've never did it I'd be open to anybody who makes me happy and will love me for the person I am rather then the skin on my back. I believe beauty can be found in a variety of color, shapes and sizes. As I get older I view people differently and Love should not be limited to ones own race... How do you feel?

Dear To Whom It May Concern...
I see things still haven't changed and I guess you still hate me but it's cool and I'm ok and I'm still getting all the things God has entitled for my life. Instead of running from chick to chick I've been working on me both mentally and spiritually. I've been hearing your still the same, mad and upset with the world. From what I've been told you stay depressed and entangle yourself with guys and wonder why you get the same results.. How unfortunate :( I'm sure you still blame others and never yourself but it's ok it just gets worse as you get older. I'm good though and in a few months I'll be relocating and graduating with a degree in Surgical Technology and working as a Surgical Technician not to mention I'm still on my barber grind. HA HA...Success is the sweetest revenge...and I love every minute of it...
Sincerely,
Blessed and Highly Favored...
Updates on the Three Main Things
1. Emulsion. New55 identified more than one emulsion that can be processed in two minutes using a reagent. The results to date are contrasty and have some other problems, but are an excellent start. Even TMY can be processed in two minutes if one is aggressive. The image of the rocks at the beach is somewhat unfair, as the speckled texture gives the impression of more grey scale than was actually achieved, but it is still an interesting result. So-called "monobath A" produced quite smooth tonal gradients when camera was aimed at the bench, and its shadows, but took longer.
Scroll down or look at earlier posts to see these examples.
2. Reagent. There are several reagent options, of which two have been tried. Both do something, did not cause fires, nor were they difficult to make. Images are posted below. There are many different possible ratios possible just using the Type 55 reagent information we have from the MSDS. If someone could assist in tweaking, or simply remembering, that would save a lot of time and money. It occurs that a very aggressive reagent could be made with materials never used by Polaroid.
3. Receiver sheet. New55 Project considers this essential for controlling the rate of silver diffusion from the negative if processing times are to be short enough to label "instant". I think, personally, that two minutes is the limit but if it had to be a little longer and the results were very good then I think that might be OK. Not everyone agrees. In any case we do not have enough information about the nucleation and migration kinetics with respect to reagents and receivers, and are seeking advice and help.
In other words, we still have no real info on how the receiver sheet will be prepared, especially the non-coaterless 55 type receiver sheet construction, which we suspect is very much like the old 47 and the like, with that wonderfully scented pink coater swab that prevents browning. The FP100B material is being looked at, but it is not like 55. Chances are this is something simple and we will look stupid soon.
Things like packaging and how actual processing will be carried out are being left open right now, as there are several options beyond existing roller and pod methods. Roller and pod have not been ruled out by any means.
