Does it have to be *in* Hawthorn? I use Vanbar in Fitzroy, which mostly caters for professionals and photography students. You can upload photos via their website (assuming that you're using software to reduce the files down to manageable sizes before you upload them), the prints are 15c each and delivery is $7 per order.

My wife and I had been married about 2 decades and were living in Toronto. She is French Canadian and her English is strongly colored by her mother tongue. Business required me to fly, alone, to Las Vegas NV where I put up in one of the casino hotels. I decided to have lunch in one of the hotel’s restaurants, which was nearly empty given the time of day. I was engrossed in selecting a meal from the menu I found on the table when a woman asked if I had decided yet.I looked up to see my wife standing right next to me in a waitress’ uniform, pad and pen in hand. I’m not talking about a woman who bore a resemblance to my wife, but an identical twin right down to the hairdo! One small, but important difference - her question was tinged with a Latina accent that I didn’t catch immediately. I stared in disbelief for at least a minute, not speaking but waiting for her to explain this practical joke.The woman asked if there was something wrong, to which I replied, “Wait, you’re not Claire! You look exactly like her.” It was clear to me that she considered this a clumsy pick-up line and business-like asked me what I wanted to eat.I was still rattled by this encounter and desperately looking for some explanation, offered to show her a picture of my wife from my wallet. Upon viewing it, her eyes grew wide and she started to tremble. Understandable, since it is not everyday that one learns that a real doppelganger is afoot. She demanded to know how I happened to have a picture of her. I told her to examine the clothes and furniture in the photo and it was then that she realized the truth.On a pure hunch I asked her if her great-grandfather was named Sanchez and had emigrated to Mexico from a place in Northern Spain. After a long pause she wanted to know how I knew this. I explained that Claire had once told me that her great-grandfather came from that place to Canada and that he had a brother who left at the same time but who went to Mexico instead. The Canada-bound brother had changed his name from Sanchez to LaChance and learned to speak French.This encounter demanded from both of us some time to digest it. Much as I would have liked to delve deeper into the details, this was not to be. Another waitress soon came to take my order and I never saw Ms Sanchez again.

Hot glass looks the same as cold glass.At 60 Celsius, human skin burns in five seconds.At 80 Celsius, a 2nd-degree burn is almost instantaneous.Glass, when heated, glows red as it approaches 500 Celsius.There is a very large gap between the temperature that glass becomes dangerous, and the temperature that glass looks hot.We heat glass up in the laboratory all the time. Sometimes to directly power a chemical reaction, sometimes (more dangerously) to bend and shape the glass.So if you enter a lab, and spy an unattended glass pipette sitting on a pad of aluminum foil or pretty much in any position not expected - assume it is stupefyingly hot until you confirm with whomever is present.Because picking it up with your bare hands may quickly remind you that hot glass looks the same as cold glass.*Yes, these are approximate numbers. Skin has high water content, water has a high specific heat, the glass might not contain a lot of energy, there’s also a potential Leidenfrost effect, the stars might line up and your horoscope is lucky… This is not an area to fudge the margins.Image from Fisher Scientific.______________________________________________________________________________________Bonus - the same goes for metals. And don’t even get me started on those lazy lab layabouts who don’t label their reagents! The only time your flasks and beakers are not labeled are if they are currently in use. In your hands, on the bench in front of you, or hooked into a clearly functional setup.You want to step out for a quick smoke? Label your flasks. I don’t care if you know it’s just water. To me it’s cupfuls of concentrated sulfuric acid and/or ammonium hydroxide, or maybe a dilute solution of saline and tetrodotoxin. I’m not puzzling it out.You have thirty seconds to claim this solution and swear to label hereafter, otherwise I’m calling the safety officer, then skinning you. We work in a dangerous environment with dangerous materials, and we have been safe because we are careful, not lucky.
