It probably will not be dumped into the river as it's been against the rules, snow melters are used. Think of the energy used for that! On Broadway at John looking toward the Fulton Transit Center building.

This was supposed to be a clone shot. But I woke up with an awful cold--sore throat, runny nose, the works. I knew it would happen, since i get since i get sick after all stressful events. So I admited defeat and built a nest on the couch. Cable just got hooked up today, which is perfect for when you're sick!
In the one snafu of the move, I discovered today that my gas never got turned on because I thought Con Ed was the provider but they're only electric (they served both at the last place); National Gas will come out on Friday to get me all hooked up. Feeling a wee bit sorry for myself that I can't make anything hot to drink or eat (i don't have a microwave).
Con Ed on the scene ripping up the street across from last evenings 4 alarm fire.
There was a faint odor of natural gas.
Back pain kept me away from PDN PhotoExpo today and home in bed instead. But I did get out for dinner and played some more with the Sony DSC-QX100. It's probably good that I didn't go to the expo - I usually buy things that I don't really need at those shows;-)

Just NYC utilities repair here for a few years. In the middle of Broadway, by the Fulton Transit Center. Con Ed, in the small print on the barricade.
Venting is not to do with a leak, usually. it is that there are hot pipes, such as the high-pressure Con Ed steam system which has insulation with tears that heat up ground water and create this vaoor.

This was taken in New Castle New York a few days ago while I was stationed there by Con Ed to watch some cables that were down. I did an overnight shift and when the sun was rising the air was very foggy so I took my camera out and started shooting. I love the look the area had so I'm thinking of going back there to do some portrait work in the future.

Leland: “It’s the perfect air to milk to fat ratio.”
Ruth: “I had the Mister Softee song as my ringtone for a while. Sometimes I see an Con Ed truck from afar and get really excited. Then it gets closer and I realize it’s not a Mister Softee.”

On the far left is the Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge. The brown building with the tall chimney is the Con Ed Plant (the Consolidated Edison Plant), one of the largest investor-owned energy companies in the USA. The company provides a wide range of energy-related products and services to its customers through its subsidiaries. The Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., is a regulated utility providing electric, gas and steam service in New York City and Westchester County, New York.
On 28 June 1996, a fire at the plant spewed asbestos throughout the building and sent black smoke through much of the neighbourhood. No one was injured and officials said that no asbestos escaped from the plant. The fire started at 3:30 am and engulfed a 10-story boiler that creates steam to run generators for electricity. It quickly spread to the top floors of the building and was not brought under control until midday. Residents nearby reported hearing a loud explosion, but Con Ed officials said the noise was caused by steam that was released through pressure valves on the roof. The officials believed that the fire may have started in a wood and plastic bin that contained asbestos, but they were not certain what ignited the blaze. The bin, which encased the fourth-floor portion of the boiler, was designed to capture asbestos being stripped from three boilers inside the plant. Tests indicated that no outside contamination occurred and there was no threat to local residents, though fire-fighters leaving the building had to take decontamination showers.
Prolonged exposure to asbestos - a fire retardant used primarily for insulation - poses a risk of cancer and respiratory ailments. Carlos Garcia of the State Labor Department's Division of Safety and Health said that a large amount of asbestos had been spread throughout the plant by the accident and that the cleanup would be difficult and take weeks.

Tammany Hall, also known as the Society of St. Tammany, was a New York City political organization founded in 1789. It was the political machine that played a major role in controlling the politics of New York City and State. It was also one of the first organizations to help the immigrant, and poor population, thus gaining their allegiance. Tammany Hall also served as an engine for graft, unscrupulous abuse and political corruption, perhaps most infamously under William "Boss" Tweed, (The Tweed Ring), and "Big Tim" Sullivan.
This is East 14th St. Looking West from Third Ave towards Irving Place. Just past Tammany Hall on the corner is the New York Academy of Music. In 1926 both Tammany Hall & The Academy of Music were demolished for the expanding Consolidated Edison Building and Clock Tower which is behind them on Irving Place. Tammany Hall was rebuilt at 100 East 17th St. and Union Square, that is now a landmark. The Academy of Music was rebuilt across 14th street. The venue was renamed The Palladium, it's now NYU Dorms and Trader Joe's.

In hollow disbelief that there was actual light after 5 days without power, water and connection to the outside world in Lower Manhattan. The power was restored to the East Village (where I was here) on November 2, 2012, nearly 5 days after Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy hit NYC.
I got the call from Con Ed where I was uptown (trying to get a working connection) and immediately traveled back downtown where I walked through the East Village which was bathed in light back to my home on the Lower East Side. It was an emotional journey that night.

I did some scouting tonight. I was looking a good vantage point to shoot the Con Edison plant on 14th Street as well as the Williamsburg Bridge. I didn't find a spot I liked for the Con Ed plant, but I did get some shots of the Williamsburg Bridge from East River Park. There are definitely more spots to explore there.

Ravenswood Generating Station in Long Island City, commonly known as "Big Allis" after the million-kilowatt Allis-Chalmers generator inside, was opened in 1963 by Con Edison. At the time, it was the largest electrical generating unit in the world. Con Ed sold it to Keyspan Energy in 1999.
The Ravenswood Generating Station comprises three large steam-generating units, a 250 megawatt combined cycle generating unit and 17 gas turbine generators. pIt roduces 25% of New York City's power. As of 2005, the station had a summer capability of 2,401 megawatts, making it the 27th most powerful in the United States.
...THIS IS BIG ALICE LOCATED IN NYC SHE IS A VERY LARGE OPERATIONAL POWER STATION THAT IF IT WAS ABANDONED WOULD BE THE ULTIMATE SPOT TO EXPLORE......I WISH FOR THAT DAY!!!!! :() View On Black
The buildings are made of lightning
Benjamin Franklin in eternal shock
Kite with key in hand after all these years
He's the ghost atop these towers
Jumping from peak to peak
Like Jack Fost or Sandman
Very light in the distance
Haggard & shell-shocked up close
His skin sags like muddy bags of rocks from the mine
His clothes tattered and singed
He glows from radiation
It has been so many years
Oblivious to praise in his honour
His chateau in history is vacant
Bored by paintings of make-believe negroes at ambivalent feet
He discarded letters and chess
For fire from clouds
Delving in the games of gods
Basking in new decadence
Beyond women in Paris and the death of Indians
Something supernatural
The harnessing of energy
Electricity Man
Thunderstroke junkie
Fiend for sky cracking
Circuits suffer illuminating home by home
At the speed
Philly, New York, beyond
Bringing to life toys in boys' bedrooms
Tinkerbell from hell
Rumpelstiltskin with weaponry
His knickers still smoking
In wasted glee he keeps us well lit
Live from syphillis caught from power
His eyes swirl like peppermints gone wrong
This deist defrocker of Jesus
Now frocked in Eurasia robes
A sucker for issue
Ogler of Ogun
Jockying for position with these gods
Stuck in second with Santa Claus
Demigod aspirations kept him alive all these years
General Electric is a loan shark
Its hounds in sunglasses
Racing Pontiacs to catch Ben
Jumping light to light in their line of fire
Old Glow they call him
Con Ed can't find him not even by satellite
They take our money with the ambivalence of vacuums
And we pay hoping for a glimmer
We drop checks in mail slots like teeth beneath pillows
Dance a little smile
And praise the crackhead running our appliance
Old Glow got us humming
Rubbing rather comfort clinging together
Ravaged by ecstatic
Searching for the kite
Grabbing at the key
U.S. New York Representative Pete King (Republican, Long Island) introduced a new bill in Congress this month H.R.414: "To require mobile phones containing digital cameras to make a sound when a photograph is taken. " The short title of the bill is simply, "Camera Phone Predator Alert Act."
From the bill:
" (a) Requirement- Beginning 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, any mobile phone containing a digital camera that is manufactured for sale in the United States shall sound a tone or other sound audible within a reasonable radius of the phone whenever a photograph is taken with the camera in such phone. A mobile phone manufactured after such date shall not be equipped with a means of disabling or silencing such tone or sound.
(b) Enforcement by Consumer Product Safety Commission- The requirement in subsection (a) shall be treated as a consumer product safety standard promulgated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission under section 7 of the Consumer Product Safety Act (15 U.S.C. 2056). A violation of subsection (a) shall be enforced by the Commission under section 19 of such Act (15 U.S.C. 2068)."
Now I'm a father of four young children, and nobody wants to protect their children from predators more than I do, but this is just plain stupid.
First off there are many times that you don't want your camera to make audible noises. Let's say your shooting your own kid in the school play. Having a bunch of disruptive beeps going off every time someone takes a photo is annoying. There are many times when you want to shoot something being less disruptive not being more disruptive. There are certainly plenty of times and places where it is perfectly appropriate to try and be as quiet as you can while shooting.
Secondly, this bill only applies to cell phones. So if some predator wants to try to sneak photos of kids in the locker room all they would have to do is use a regular old point and shoot camera which this bill doesn't apply to. In fact, spy type cameras have been around for years and if someone really wants to try to take stealthy photos, they certainly can without the need to use their cell phone camera. The law also does nothing to address video.
Then of course there is the part of the bill that this would only apply to new phones. So let's see, a predator then could, theoretically, still use any old cell phone that they want to take silent phones while millions of law abiding users have to put up with noisy beeps going off whenever they shoot.
I have no idea what the cost of implementing this technology would be, but I'm sure AT&T would figure out some way to make the "enhancement" a reoccurable fee every month on your cell phone bill.
It seems to me like this bill is yet another example of really bad ideas coming from government. It would seem that this is not the first boneheaded idea that Rep. King has come up with by the way. Another of his winner ideas was responsible for funneling $3 million in taxpayer money to a campaign donor for custom manhole covers that Con Ed said could be dangerous in -- order to fight those pesky terrorists. At least that's the way the Daily News reported it. I thought Republicans were supposed to be for less government not for more.
