The Standard Chlorine Chemical Company Superfund Site is a 25-acre site located in the town of Kearny, New Jersey, on an industrialized peninsula along the Hackensack River. Several chemical manufacturing activities took place on the site from the early 1900s to the 1990s, including the production, storage and packaging of moth balls and flakes. EPA added the site to its National Priorities List in September 2007 after samples indicated the release of dioxins, benzenes, naphthalene, PCBs and other semi-volatile or volatile compounds into the Hackensack River and adjacent wetlands..The site lies in the Hackensack Meadowlands, which EPA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have identified as a Significant Habitat Complex that may provide habitat for state- or federally-designated threatened or endangered species. Contamination appears to discharge from ground water to the Hackensack, as well as overland runoff, including through a drainage ditch along the southern property line. Release of hazardous substances to the surrounding ground water has been documented since at least the early 1980s. In the past, contamination came from several sources, including two lagoons located on the eastern portion of the site, tanks and drums that contain dioxin-contaminated asbestos and other pollutants. The dioxin-contaminated asbestos has been collected and placed in shipping containers waiting for eventual transport, and all remaining tanks have been emptied. Fish consumption warnings (particularly crab) and a health advisory have been issued for the Hackensack River, potentially due in part to contamination from the Standard Chlorine site. .Prior to placement on the National Priorities List, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) sampled and studied the Standard Chlorine site and other nearby cleanup efforts and implemented interim measures. EPA currently is working with NJDEP to prevent the spread of additional contamination to surrounding areas, particularly the Hackensack River. Parties potentially responsible for contamination at the site and other nearby cleanups include three parties in a group referred to as the Peninsula Restoration Group. Other potentially responsible parties at this site may be identified by EPA in the future. .

Downtown Fort Myers was not the pretty, polished, South Beach-lite, hip happening place it is today back in the mid-1990's when I was spending time there. I am glad to see the Edison Theatre looking so great.

A volunteer at Gaslight Gathering's "Hall of Wonders" talks to visitors about the Edison phonograph, playing antiques from her family's collection.
Here the volunteer puts a new wax cylinder 'record' on a small phonograph to play for an eager audience of con-goers in their steampunk finery.

Electric Generator
In the fall of 1878, after experiments indicated that existing arc light generators were inefficient for incandescent lighting Edison and his chief assistants, Charles Batchelor and Francis Upton, investigated generator design and the principles of electromagnetism. During the first months of 1879, Edison designed a dynamo that differed in important ways from contemporary designs. Many contemporary electrical experts thought a generator would work best when its internal electrical resistance was equal to the external resistance of the circuit. This view was based on the understanding that the maximum power output for any given battery occurred when its internal resistance matched that of the rest of the circuit. Generators with equal internal and external resistance generated maximum current, but because Edison considered the economic efficiency of his system to be related to the number of lamps per horsepower, he determined that a generator with a small internal resistance would produce more efficient power output.
The other key feature of the Edison dynamo was its large bipolar magnets, which gave the generator its nickname, the "long-legged Mary-Ann" (a somewhat rude joke among the all-male laboratory staff). In arriving at this design, Edison drew in part on Michael Faraday's half-century-old work regarding the electromagnetic generation of current by a conductor (the armature) moving through the magnetic lines of force generated by a field magnet. Understanding that the more lines of force crossed in the most direct manner, the more productive the generator, Edison apparently conceived his large magnets as a concentrated source of Faraday's lines of magnetic force. However, John Hopkinson later demonstrated that such large electromagnets were inefficient.
Potomac Edison runner up Katie Lambert of Berkeley Springs, W.Va., received 1090 votes on Facebook and will be awarded a $100 gift card. As a new homeowner, Lambert wanted a place to relax after a long week of work. She designed a sitting area with tables, chairs and lots of flowers, and added a fire pit area this year.
The National Park Services website had some info on the talking dolls and some recordings from them.

This is a very cute and known actor.. Edison Chen in the movie inspired from a manga/anime called InitialD.. The title of the movie is InitialD..

Edison 'new' invention -
According to the 1920 Edison catalogue he spent over $3million perfecting his ‘re-creation’ process – Edison refused to speak of his records as anything else.
He then did public tests where artists stood beside a player and sang so the public could compare the recording with the live voice. Edison claimed that it was impossible to tell the difference.
He actually hired places like Carnegie Hall in New York and Symphony Hall in Boston and claimed that upwards of 3,000,000 music lovers and critics attended these comparisons throughout the U.S.A.
Headed home and I heard the train whistle. I really like how the old style telephone poles all lined up.
Sweets Edison
Harry "Sweets" Edison (October 10, 1915 - July 27, 1999), was born in Columbus, Ohio. He spent his early childhood in Kentucky, where he was introduced to music by an uncle. After moving back to Columbus at the age of 12, the young Edison began playing the trumpet with local bands.
In 1933, he became a member of the Jeter-Pillars Orchestra in Cleveland, and after a year moved to New York and joined the Count Basie Orchestra. His colleagues included Buck Clayton, Lester Young (who named him "Sweets"), Buddy Tate, Freddie Green, Jo Jones, and other original members of that famous band.
I photographed this awesome restaurant inside a hotel and they used Edison lamps as part of the decoration.
Edison lamps may be old but they are stylish af.
