After a number of kids impaled themselves on these shifters in the 70's, a group of activists (led by Ralph Nader) had these bikes outlawed.
These tip if bicycle gear shifts are now known as "suicide shifts" by some collectors.

The idea here is a ratchet. When you push the shifter down, this mechanism produces friction, but at the same time you take pressure off the spring in the derailer, so the motion is pretty smooth. When you pull the shifter up, though, you put stress on the derailer spring. Rather than make it doubly hard to lift, this ratchet mechanism takes the friction off of the shifter itself, leaving just the stress from the derailer spring. As a result, it takes roughly equal effort to up- and down-shift.

I saw the photo of the tail guns of the Lancaster and thought of this photomanip right off. The title is based on the fact that the British bombed at night while the US ruled the day.
A big thank you to the following:

Dissection of a Suntour Power Ratchet Bar End Shifter, 25 October 2008.
So now I know how these things work.
Tilt shift effect created in photoshop
Warwick Castle is in the background and the original image was taken from the top of St Mary's church in Wawrick
Rented a tilt-shift (24mm) and played around with it, I wanted to create that "toy-model) effect that I've seen on a National Geographic paper. Didn't work that well... probably I should have got the 90mm.
White Shift - Short Shrift
White Shift – Short Shrift - a collaborative installation between Kathryn Campbell Dodd and Louise Bird www.flickr.com/photos/birdlouise/ at Aberystwyth Arts Centre for the launch event of Culture Colony.
Danny Gills last shift went out with a bang when this 2 alarm fire in an occupied homeless shelter came in at 03:30 hrs. A quick primary search by Truck Company 1 before water was started turned up no victims. Fire was in possession of the first floor , second floor and roof area.
We had tremendous difficulty opening up the second floor ceiling. Over the years tradesmen had added many layers to the ceiling.
The first layer was the original wood lathe and plaster, followed by shag carpeting which was overlayed by 3/8" plywood and finally 5/8" drywall. All of the materials were screwed to hard native lumber joists . The first and second floor fire was knocked down quickly . Finally we were able to open the ceiling and get this one tapped out.
The building was repaired and still stands today. Dan Gill is front row with the portable clipped to his coat.
This is my dog Scooter. I was fiddling around with my new lens (50mm f1.4 - merry Christmas!) and, though I'd had his eye contact, he turned his head at the last possible instant.
This photo is nearly untouched - despite the cheerful lighting in the room, I think something rather melancholy came out of the picture instead.

This is my first attempt at tilt-shift (using a very old photo from a trip to Berlin). Does anyone have any tips?
Power shift
The economic clout of customers is increasing, and customers are exercising that power. When Netflix announced last summer that it would be increasing rates and splitting its streaming and DVD businesses, customers loudly broadcast their discontent on blogs and other social media.

Netflix stock plummeted.
When the CEO publicly apologized but did not change direction, in a post titled "An explanation and some reflections" blog.netflix.com/2011/09/explanation-and-some-reflections... and a related video An explanation and some reflections he fanned the flames of customer discontent: (Warning, rated V for vulgarity: Hitler Reacts To Netflix Apology and Qwikster Announcement)
The stock dropped even further.
A few weeks later the CEO reversed the decision and Wall Street punished the company even more. blog.netflix.com/2011/10/dvds-will-be-staying-at-netflixc...
At this point I think it just felt like more bad news, but IMHO it was good news.
Although the company made some bad decisions they also showed they were smart enough to listen to customers and reverse themselves.
That's why I bought more Netflix stock on October 25th. plus.google.com/117373186752666867801/posts/Jhe4os472Wh
Since October 25th Netflix stock is up more than 16%.

Disclosure: I am long on Netflix.
The crew makes some passes to shift out interchange cars so they can be in customer order for later on.
Here are some attempts at fake tilt-shift on some of the photos I took looking down onto Hornberg in Schwarzwald.
Tawi-Tawi archipelago is sooo far out for most Filipinos. This group of islands is nearer to Sabah, Malaysia than mainland Mindanao.
