You would be amazed at the light you have around your house that you don't even think about.
Can you guess what light I used to take this image?
My freezer. Yup, my freezer!
Here are a few simple steps to help you achieve an image like this.
1. Turn off you all the lights in your kitchen.
You don't want any competing light sources affecting your image. If there are lights from the hallway or another room leaking into your kitchen turn those off as well.
2. Meter off some food in your freezer.
It is hard to guess you settings so it is best to meter off of something in the freezer as if that was your main subject.
3. Set up your interval timer, self timer, or remote.
4. Put your camera in the freezer.
Yes, that is right. Clear off an area for your camera to rest safely.
5. Step back and strike a pose.
Your image may not come straight out of the camera as you would like. For the above image, I increased my "blacks" in editing to darken the background. I also used my adjustment brush in Lightroom to darken a few spots in the background that were hit by the light of the freezer.
Here is another freezer/fridge lighting shot. Use your imagination
Take some time today to look around your house. You will be amazed at all the different light sources you have to help you achieve some interesting shots as the winter arrives.

Reunion Across the Pond Login to comment

Baird Foster RC'60 (Left in picture) and Steve Murray RC'60 (Right in picture), both Dekes, were unable to attend our 50th. When they learned from fellow Deke George Sipel RC'60 that neither could show up because they'd be in England, they exchanged a few emails and realized they'd be just 20 miles apart. So they staged their own reunion, with their wives, too, and had dinner at the Moorlands Hotel in Dartmoor, Devon, on May 9! Both admitted they would not have recognized each other on the streets, but they agreed it was fun to reminisce. Steve, retired for three years, lives in the Gainesville, GA, area. Baird retired in 1994 and lives in Moorestown, NJ. – Submitted by Dave Van Duren ED'60, Rutgers Magazine class correspondent

Douglass' Sacred Path Login to comment
Monday, May 03 2010 01:25:39 PM
In the early 1900s, it was customary on college campuses for the rising classes to impose 'friendly' restrictions on the new first-year class, and the New Jersey College for Women was no exception to this tradition. The NJC Class of 1922 deemed that first-year students were not permitted to wear anything red and were prohibited from walking on the path from George Street to College Hall for the duration of their first year. This path is known as Sacred Path.The NJC community decided that at the end of spring semester, they would gather for a "moving up" of the classes ceremony, in which first-year students would be escorted down the Sacred Path by upper-class women, thereby officially becoming sophomores. Today, Rutgers University honors the Sacred Path tradition with a program in the spring that begins at Voorhees Chapel. The program includes a ceremony of the moving-up of the Douglass classes, a tribute to all service groups, and culminates with a fire pit lit parade to College Hall. Along the way, the participants make a wish on a pinecone and toss into the flames of the fire pits. They then move down the Sacred Path to a reception in the Douglass Campus Center in which the participants receive a charm corresponding to their class year. At the end of four years, they will have four charms to commemorate their years at Rutgers. In addition, each class year is represented by a certain color. Alumnae receive an ivy leaf charm. Dressed in black, seniors receive the mortarboard. In red, juniors receive a key. Wearing pink, the sophomores receive a clock. Clothed in white, the first years receive a lantern.The most recent celebration of Sacred Path was held on Sunday, May 2, 2010. Over 700 students, alumnae, family, and friends filled the chapel to honor Douglass tradition and to collect their charms.

Color War: Orange vs. Scarlet Login to comment
Wednesday, March 31 2010 10:53:00 AM
At the time, the use of school colors was little known in the United States, making Rutgers a pioneer in establishing a college color, according to William H.S. Demarest, Class of 1883 and Rutgers president (1906–1924). During the first intercollegiate football game with Princeton on November 6, 1869, the players from Rutgers wore scarlet-colored turbans and handkerchiefs to distinguish them as a team from the Princeton players. The Board of Trustees officially made scarlet the school color in 1900.

Origin of the Knight Login to comment
Monday, March 15 2010 10:14:55 AM
In its early days, Rutgers athletes were known informally as "The Scarlet" in reference to the school color, or as "Queensmen" in reference to the institution's first name, Queen's College. In 1925, the mascot was changed to Chanticleer, a fighting rooster from the medieval fable Reynard the Fox (Le Roman de Renart), which was used by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales. At the time, the student humor magazine at Rutgers was called Chanticleer, and one of its early arts editors, Ozzie Nelson (later of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet fame) was quarterback of the Rutgers team from 1924 to 1926. The Chanticleer mascot was unveiled at a football game against Lafayette College, in which Lafayette was also introducing a new mascot, a leopard. It is also a little-known fact that the New Brunswick-based broadcast station, WCTC, which serves as the flagship station of Rutgers athletics, had its call letters derived from the word "ChanTiCleer." Chanticleer remained as the nickname for some 30 years. However, the choice of Chanticleer as a mascot was often the subject of ridicule because of its association with "being chicken." In 1955, the mascot was changed to the Scarlet Knight after a campus-wide election, beating out other contenders such as "Queensmen," the "Scarlet," the "Red Lions," the "Redmen," and the "Flying Dutchmen." Earlier proposed nicknames included "Pioneers" and "Cannoneers." The Scarlet-garbed knight, riding a spirited white charger, came to represent a new era – the rejuvenation of first-class football "On the Banks."

Yes, we still have a ways to go to eradicate ignorance. The following are examples that I have personally run across:
1/ I took my mother to a hair salon to have her hair done. When the stylist finished with a client she called upon the man next in line and seeing that my mother was uncomfortable sitting as she is elderly, the gentleman offered to go to the end of the line so that she could take his place. The stylist told him, "No, you're next. I don't do people like that." "Like WHAT?" I asked. "People who are difficult," she responded. Oh my goodness, my mother is elderly, but certainly not difficult! The woman herself, was obviously in her 50's and not too far away from being considered aged herself so it was somewhat ironic that she took such a negative stance towards an elderly individual. 2/ My daughter was born with a genetic condition and has passed away. During discussions with an Alberta Justice solicitor, my daughter was referred to as an individual who "suffered." This is a most archaic view of persons with disability and often - as with the case of my little girl - inaccurate. My daughter was a happy-go-lucky soul who had smiles for nearly everyone; she was also quite mischievious and liked to pull pranks on others. To confine the life of all persons with disability under the scope of "suffering" is ignorant. The same solicitor went on to refer to my daughter with even more dehumanizing terminology, referring to her as an "IT". The attitude is ugly and wrong, but even more disturbing is the fact that it origniates in a reprentative of Alberta JUSTICE, an individual who speaks for Canada.
While I see, read about and deal with issues of discrimination every day, there are times when I wonder if there's really not that much going on and perhaps I'm just too sensitive because it's my line of work. But three things happened in the last couple weeks and I thought I'd share them – all...

Topic Overview
Feeling worried or nervous is a normal part of everyday life. Everyone frets or feels anxious from time to time. Mild to moderate anxiety can help you focus your attention, energy, and motivation. If anxiety is severe, you may have feelings of helplessness, confusion, and extreme worry that are out of proportion with the actual seriousness or likelihood of the feared event. Overwhelming anxiety that interferes with daily life is not normal. This type of anxiety may be a symptom of another problem, such as depression.
Anxiety can cause physical and emotional symptoms. A specific situation or fear can cause some or all of these symptoms for a short time. When the situation passes, the symptoms usually go away.
Physical symptoms of anxiety include:
- Trembling, twitching, or shaking.
- Feeling of fullness in the throat or chest.
- Breathlessness or rapid heartbeat.
- Lightheadedness or dizziness.
- Sweating or cold, clammy hands.
- Feeling jumpy.
- Muscle tension, aches, or soreness (myalgias).
- Extreme tiredness.
- Sleep problems, such as the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, early waking, or restlessness (not feeling rested when you wake up).
Anxiety affects the part of the brain that helps control how you communicate. This makes it more difficult to express yourself creatively or function effectively in relationships. Emotional symptoms of anxiety include:
- Restlessness, irritability, or feeling on edge or keyed up.
- Worrying too much.
- Fearing that something bad is going to happen; feeling doomed.
- Inability to concentrate; feeling like your mind goes blank.
Anxiety disorders
Anxiety disorders occur when people have both physical and emotional symptoms. Anxiety disorders interfere with how a person gets along with others and affect daily activities. Women are twice as likely as men to have problems with anxiety disorders. Examples of anxiety disorders include panic attacks, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Often the cause of anxiety disorders is not known. Many people with an anxiety disorder say they have felt nervous and anxious all their lives. This problem can occur at any age. Children who have at least one parent with the diagnosis of depression are more than twice as likely to have an anxiety disorder than other children.
Anxiety disorders often occur with other problems, such as:
- Mental health problems, such as depression or substance abuse.
- A physical problem, such as heart or lung disease. A complete medical examination may be needed before an anxiety disorder can be diagnosed.
Panic attacks
A panic attack is a sudden feeling of extreme anxiety or intense fear without a clear cause or when there is no danger. Panic attacks are common. They sometimes occur in otherwise normal, healthy people and will usually last for several minutes.
Symptoms include feelings of dying or losing control of yourself, rapid breathing (hyperventilation), and a racing heart. You may feel dizzy, sweaty, or shaky. Other symptoms include trouble breathing, chest pain or tightness, and an irregular heartbeat. These symptoms come on suddenly and without warning.
Sometimes symptoms of a panic attack are so intense that the person fears he or she is having a heart attack. Many of the symptoms of a panic attack can occur with other illnesses, such as hyperthyroidism, coronary artery disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A complete medical examination may be needed before an anxiety disorder can be diagnosed.
People who have repeated unexpected panic attacks and worry about the attacks are said to have a panic disorder.
Phobias are extreme and irrational fears that interfere with daily life. People with phobias have fears that are out of proportion to real danger. And although these people are aware that their fears are not rational, they are not able to control them.
Phobias are common and are sometimes present with other conditions, such as panic disorder or Tourette's disorder. Most people deal with phobias by avoiding the situation or object that causes them to feel panic (avoidance behavior).
A phobic disorder occurs when the avoidance behavior becomes so extreme that it interferes with your ability to participate in your daily activities. There are three main types of phobic disorders:
- Fear of being alone or in public places where help might not be available or escape is impossible (agoraphobia)
- Fear of situations where the individual might be exposed to criticism by others (social phobia)
- Fear of specific things (specific phobia)
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to decide if and when you should see a doctor.
Home Treatment
Home treatment, combined with professional treatment, can help relieve anxiety.
- Recognize and accept your anxiety about specific fears or situations, and then make a plan for dealing with them. For example, if you are constantly worrying about finances, set up a budget or savings plan.
- Don't dwell on past problems. Change what you can to help you feel more comfortable with present concerns, but let go of past problems or things you cannot change.
- Be kind to your body:
- Relieve tension with vigorous exercise or massage.
- Practice relaxation techniques. For more information, see the topic Stress Management.
- Get enough rest. If you have trouble sleeping, see the topic Sleep Problems, Age 12 and Older.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, and nicotine. They may increase your anxiety level.
- Engage your mind:
- Get out and do something you enjoy, such as going to a funny movie or taking a walk or hike.
- Plan your day. Having too much or too little to do can make you more anxious.
- Keep a diary of your symptoms(What is a PDF document?) . Discuss your fears with a good friend. Confiding in others sometimes relieves stress.
- Get involved in social groups, or volunteer to help others. Being alone can make things seem worse than they are.
- Learn
about resources available in your community:
- Talk with your human resources officer about counseling benefits that may be available through your employee assistance program.
- Check with your insurance company to see what mental health benefits are available.
- Contact your public health department for information on community mental health programs.
Symptoms to Watch For During Home Treatment
Use the Check Your Symptoms section to evaluate your symptoms if symptoms become more frequent or severe during home treatment.
You can help prevent anxiety attacks:
- Avoid caffeine, such as coffee, tea, Mountain Dew, colas, and chocolate. Caffeine can keep you in a tense, aroused condition. For more information, see the topic Healthy Eating.
- Do not smoke or use smokeless (spit) tobacco products. Nicotine stimulates many physical and psychological processes, causes your blood vessels to constrict, and makes your heart work harder. For more information, see the topic Quitting Smoking.
- Exercise during the day. Even a brisk walk around the block may help you stay calm. For more information, see the topic Fitness.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy can help control symptoms of anxiety or panic.
Preparing For Your Appointment
To prepare for your appointment, see the topic Making the Most of Your Appointment.
You can help your doctor diagnose and treat your condition by being prepared to answer the following questions:
- What is your major symptom?
- How long have you had your symptoms? Do they come and go, or are they always present?
- What triggers the onset of your symptoms?
- What makes your symptoms better or worse?
- Do you have other symptoms
that may be related to your major symptom? These other symptoms may include:
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Numbness or weakness.
- Excessive sweating.
- Feeling that you are not able to get enough air (air hunger).
- Restlessness, irritability, or feeling on edge.
- Feeling depressed.
- Have you ever had a similar problem in the past? If so, how was it treated?
- Has anyone else in your family ever been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, depression, or another mental illness?
- Has anyone in your family committed suicide or tried to commit suicide?
- What home treatment measures have you tried? Did they help?
- What prescription or nonprescription medicines are you currently using?
- What herbal supplements are you taking?
- Are you using alcohol or illegal drugs, such as marijuana or cocaine, to manage your symptoms?
- Do you smoke or use other tobacco products?
- Do you have any health risks?
While waiting for your appointment, it may be helpful to keep a diary of your symptoms(What is a PDF document?) .

If you ever thought Buffy the Vampire Slayer would be even cooler if Buffy was a Japanese schoolgirl doing stylized wirework martial arts, have I got the film for you.
Blood: The Last Vampire is about a schoolgirl who's more than human, a samurai, and out to kill "the deadliest vampire of all" with the help of The Council. It's based on an anime film from 2000 and set on a U.S. military base. I can't find an official release date (never a good sign) other than "this summer".
Do you think there's an audience for this? There already seem to be a lot of action movies due out this year; will this find an audience in a crowded market? I find the tagline "Now that she's here, there will be blood" laughably cheesy.
The anime movie it's based on is quite good. Don't know if this live action remake will compare, but at least it should find an audience among otaku.
Yes, there is an audience for this movie: ME! ;)
I'm glad to hear people are looking forward to it!
Oh there is ABSOLUTELY an audience for it! Depending on how good it is, of course, but the original movie was quite excellent and I'm pretty sure there are very few people who wouldn't go see a movie about teenaged girls killing vampires with swords, honestly. Cheesy tagline aside I think the film definitely has some non-otaku attraction to it, so I hope it will be good and do well.
Jun Ji Hyun (the girl in the poster) is a fairly popular actress/model in South Korea. I think her popularity peaked in around early 2000s with the hit movie My Sassy Girl.
This is suppose to be billed as her North American debut but I don't think it'll make much money. There's been no marketing for it whatsoever. Then again it seems US producers have a hard time figuring out what to do with Asian properties.

Important Note About Tone Alerts and Purchasing NOAA Weather Radios
NWS suggests consumers look for NWR receivers that are compliant with the Consumer Electronics Association Public Alert Standard for Weather Radio Receivers (CEA-2009-A). Those receivers have important features such as SAME and battery backup and should meet the minimum standard for Public Alert radios. Manufacturers that market at least one compliant receiver are shown with a Public Alert logo on the NWR Receiver Consumer Information page.
If NWR listeners are concerned about receiving the Routine Weekly Test (RWT), they should consult their owner's manual to see how their receiver handles the test and whether it allows them to turn the audio alarm for the RWT back on (the First Alert WX-167 is one model that does).
Some newer model NWR receivers, including but not limited to the Midland WR-100 and First Alert WX-167, will not sound an audio alarm when the RWT is sent. The Midland WR-100 and First Alert WX-167 receivers were among those sent to schools as part of the DOC/DHS/ED weather radio initiative.
In those cases where the audio alarm is blocked an LED should light up and a visual message appear acknowledging the RWT on the receiver display screen. This is consistent with the CEA 2009-A Public Alert standard which states that the audio RWT alarm may be disabled (blocked) by the manufacturer at the factory.
NOAA Weather Radio is a service of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, broadcasting on seven VHF Band frequencies ranging from 162.400 MHz to 162.550 MHz. These frequencies are outside the normal AM or FM broadcast bands, and are therefore not found on the average home radio.
These broadcasts originate from National Weather Service Offices across the Unites States and its territories. As the Voice of the National Weather Service, more than 400 FM transmitter sites provide continuous broadcasts of the latest and up-to-date weather information.
NOAA Weather Radio broadcasts can be heard as far away as 40 miles from the antenna site. The effective range depends on many factors, particularly the terrain, the quality of the receiver, and current weather conditions.
The broadcast schedule consists of recorded messages which are repeated every three to five minutes and are routinely revised to provide the latest and up-to-date information. The broadcasts on NOAA Weather Radio are tailored to the weather needs of the people within the receiving area, and include a variety of programming subjects.
During severe weather and/or other potentially hazardous events, we interrupt the regularly scheduled programming to substitute severe weather information (including warnings, watches, etc.), and/or other hazardous informational messages. Special NOAA Weather Radio receivers can be activated, sounding an alarm indicating that important information soon follows, and listeners should monitor their weather radios for the information. Also, tests of the warning alarm are normally conducted by the National Weather Service every Wednesday between 11:00 AM and Noon.
In extreme cases, NOAA Weather Radio will be used to alert the public of non-weather related emergencies, such as earthquakes, toxic or chemical spills, civil emergencies, national attacks, or nuclear blasts.
Many local retailers or electronics stores sell NOAA Weather Radios. Also, many portable radios are including a weather band as well. With NOAA Weather Radio, you'll have the most dependable source of weather information at your fingertips. From day-to-day weather forecasts, to warnings of potentially dangerous storms, NOAA Weather Radio will be ready to alert you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Be Ready! Be Prepared! Be a NOAA Weather Radio listener today.
[ a printable map of local NWR transmitters ]
Hazardous Weather Outlook - Weather threats to the area over the next seven days.
The Regional Weather Synopsis - Summarizes the weather for the next 12 to 24 hours across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, including Kentucky and Indiana.
The Local 7 Day Forecast - Valid For the NOAA Weather Radio listening area.
The Hourly Weather Roundup - Summarizes the current weather conditions for cities across Kentucky and surrounding states.
Climatic Information - Includes temperatures and rainfall, climatological normals, and accumulations.
River Summaries - Stage and forecast information for the Ohio River as well as other reservoir and and lake data.
Severe Weather Watches, Warnings, and Advisories - Important information regarding the location and movements of severe local storms.
The NOWCast - A short term forecast valid for the next 1 to 6 hours. Updated as often as necessary to reflect changing weather conditions.
Public Information Statements - Give extra value added information, such as announcements, climatological anomalies, etc.
Other Information - Including the UV Index spring through autumn, national high and low temperature extremes, and 8 to 14 day long range outlooks.
The National Weather Service has made significant improvements to NOAA Weather Radio that allows listeners to obtain only the warnings, watches, and other information that they desire to receive.
This new technology (called SAME) broadcasts the same information via automated voice, but adds a digital code that enables specially built receivers to decode the information and receive only the information desired by the listener. This way the listener can receive severe warnings, watches and statements for only the the county they live in, or a group of surrounding counties, and not information for the entire NWR broadcast area.
All current and older model NOAA Weather Radio receivers will continue to receive all of the information from the National Weather Service, but it is only the weather radios with the SAME capability that can be programmed to receive only information for specific counties.
Since the SAME codes are fully compatible with the FCC's Emergency Alert System, it is possible in the near future that new television sets, pagers, cellular telephones and other electronic devices will be able to receive these SAME coded messages.
If you have purchased a new weather radio with the SAME capability, and desire to program it for specific counties in your NOAA Weather Radio listening area, you will need the proper county codes (FIPS). A listing of county, SAME code, and transmitter associations is available for:
Only the most imminent life- and property-threatening hazards are broadcasted with the SAME signal and 1050 Hertz warning alarm tone, where the public has to take immediate action to protect themselves and their property. An operational guideline is that messages are alerted only for hazards urgent enough to warrant waking people up in the "middle of the night" or otherwise interrupting someone's activities at any time.
The following messages are always alerted on a NWR Transmitter if they apply to any part of its coverage area:
The following messages are sometimes alerted if they apply to the coverage area of the transmitter, depending on the circumstances.

Infinite Light
Black Mountain vets show their emotional side in Lightning Dust's considerate and stirring release Infinite Light.
Though both of Lighting Dust's key members, Amber Webber and Josh Wells, come from Vancouver's heavy psych-rock quintet Black Mountain, the two bands are incomparable. On Lightning Dust's sophomore release, Infinite Light, Webber and Wells show that they do, indeed, have a softer side. Webber's distinctive voice has a quiver that rivals Grace Slick, and a soothing quality that could ease a screaming baby to sleep. Wells provides backing orchestration pulling out everything from electric piano and acoustic guitar to bossa nova drums and strings. What come out of this collaboration are moving and emotional tracks that sound sweet and gritty at once. Listen for the drum-heavy anthem "The Times," moody electro-goth track "Never Seen," haunting orchestral jaunt "Wondering What Everyone Knows," and even a cameo of Wells' voice on country-tinged duet "Honest Man."

With all the recent weather I unfortunatly curbed my car and did some damage. I took my car to ATS and had quite a bit of work done listed below. I have had the car back 5 days and it doesn't seem right. It is pulling a little bit to the left and when I touch the brakes a little bit they squeak. When driving especially at low speeds it feels like they are rubbing. What can I do and what are my rights with ATS? Can I demand that they fix it for free?? I spent £630 getting it fixed in the first place!! Help!

Tyshawn, who excelled greatly under Coach Bill Self at Kansas, hasn't yet made a jump in the NBA, since he was drafted by the Nets with the 41st pick. This summer, Nets management showed Taylor that they didn't have the utmost faith in him as a backup point guard, seeing that general manager Billy King signed Shaun Livingston to backup D-Will. But Tyshawn is giving Livingston the run for his money and his ascension as a player has been noticed by Deron Williams and Coach Jason Kidd. The athletic 6' 3'' point guard has slowed down his game and is making smarter decisions. One thing seems certain, the Nets will have more depth at the point guard position this year than they did last year. Follow @NetsTakeOver

By Freddy Burton
On July 18, 1947, the voters of Saline County chose overwhelmingly (by 60 percent) to go from a wet county to a bone dry county. Ten years before they had decided to go dry on whiskey, but not on beer and wine.
Since I was born in 1947, I must rely upon those who are old enough to remember and stories and ads from the 1947 Benton Courier.
My father, Robert L. Burton Jr., was born in 1921. His mother died of TB and left my grandfather, Robert L. Burton Sr., with two sons, Robert and Ralph.
My grandfather and his two sons lived in the Broadway Hotel on the corner of Main and Sevier streets in Downtown Benton. Actually there was nothing on the corner, but the driveway for the Benton Bus Terminal. This driveway is now home to CleoŌĆÖs Furniture Co. The building for the hotel is now behind CleoŌĆÖs and was built in 1924 by A.V. Martin.
My grandfather was in the beer business and sold the world famous Jax Beer. In 1935 he bought a new 1936 Chevrolet 1 ┬Į ton truck for $345 with payments at a whopping $27 a month! My father was 15 years old and drove this truck to deliver Jax Beer all over Saline County, with his younger brother Ralph riding shotgun.
It didnŌĆÖt take long for my father to get a nickname, which stayed with him his entire life. You guessed it: JAX. Many people, even today, think that Jax was his real name.
IŌĆÖm proud to say that my grandsonŌĆÖs name is Jax ŌĆö not as a tribute to the beer, but to my father. As he would be making his deliveries, the ŌĆ£happyŌĆØ customers in the beer joints would greet him with a big ŌĆ£Here comes Jax!ŌĆØ
I owe much information for this account to the following: Richard ŌĆ£DickŌĆØ Jacobs, Arthur B. Holliman, Pokey OŌĆÖKelly, James McCutcheon, Sonny Bowers and Dois ŌĆ£CottonŌĆØ Sutton. Since this article will have a Part II, I would like to ask people to call me at 501-860-2716 or 778-5933 if they have something to add to Part II. If anyone has a picture, that would help also.
ŌĆ£The SpotŌĆØ was a house-turned-beer-joint that the owner painted big spots on. It was located on Military near the present-day ArbyŌĆÖs fast-food restaurant.
At 103 W. Market St. in the Walton Building was a billiard parlor and beer joint. HollimanŌĆÖs Cleaners was across the street. Arthur B. Holliman remembers seeing women standing outside tapping on the window trying to get the attention of their husbands to tell them it was time to come home.
At 115 South St. was another pool hall and beer joint, which is now home to Edward Jones. James McCutcheon remembers coming to town with his grandparents to buy groceries at Gingles. As they were walking out of the store, they turned left down South Street; before they got to this pool hall, a guy was knocked out onto the sidewalk by another from the establishment. He said seeing them fight on the sidewalk looked like a scene out of an old western movie.
On Sevier Street across from the courthouse was another pool hall/beer joint. The front doors were the old-style swinging downs you would see in a movie scene showing a saloon. Sonny Bowers remembers getting down on his knees as a youngster and looking to see what was going on. He said there was always a lot of noise coming from these places and as a kid he was just plain curious.
The Desoto Caf├® on Military, located about where Ferguson Furniture store is today, had a nightclub called the La Lune Club. This was a place for dancing and parties.
At the Y on Military where Congo Road goes to the left and old Highway 67 (now Highway 5) goes to the right where there was a joint called Sunshine Station.
The Country Club Dance Hall, owned by I.E. McCray, was a hot spot. The room for the dance floor was painted blue and they called it the Blue Room. It was located near the corner of Military Road and Green Street, about where the Sonic is today.
One of the most notorious spots was The Oaks next to the Harris Filling Station, about where Alright Printing is today on lower Military Road. There was a terrible car wreck there on Christmas Eve in 1938. A speeding car containing six young people from Bauxite and Mt. Olive communities crashed into a gasoline pump at the station. Four riding in the car were killed and one innocent bystander, Ellen Styers, also was killed. Doris McDonald and Dois ŌĆ£CottonŌĆØ Sutton were burned but survived and were taken to the Bauxite Hospital.
The Nelsons had a beer joint called ŌĆśNelsonŌĆÖs.ŌĆÖ The building is still standing today at the corner of Edison Avenue and Border Street.
Ralph Willman had a beer joint across the street from where Save-A-Lot is today.
Jake Styers had a winery and was a bootlegger. Cotton Sutton said you could buy anything from old Jake on any day and at any time.
In Bryant at the corner of Highway 5 and Reynolds Road was a place called The Log Cabin.
Down by the Ed Dodson Bridge, across from where Ed and KayŌĆÖs is today, was the Dodson beer joint.
Out Highway 67 toward Malvern was DollieŌĆÖs Place, a dance hall, run by Dollie McCloud.
Farther out ŌĆś67 was the Oklahoma Inn or better know as The Bloody Bucket. This is the place you went to if you were looking for a fight. The story goes that Hinamin Abercrombie landed his plane on the highway,went in and had a beer, and then flew off in his plane. It has also been reported that he flew his plane under the Ed Dodson Bridge near DodsonŌĆÖs beer joint.
With the pool halls and beer joints, Benton was also a gambling town. You could play penny-ante poker at the pool halls, or if you liked higher stakes, you could go upstairs at Charlie WomackŌĆÖs house at 108 Main St. ŌĆö now home to Meredith WinelandŌĆÖs law office.
People have told me that if you had enough money and knew how to work the angles, you could buy off the police for around $20 a week. In this environment the Golden Rule was not ŌĆ£Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.ŌĆØ Rather, the gold ruled and the motto was, ŌĆ£You help me, I help you, or we donŌĆÖt do business!ŌĆØ Plain and simple.
The late Dr. Quin Baber wrote this in a paper some years ago: ŌĆ£In the 1930s and ŌĆś40s, Saline County was wet and there was a bunch of bars around the square. On Highway 67 just west of Benton was the Oklahoma Inn. Its nickname was The Bloody Bucket because every Saturday night there was a killing, a fight, or a shooting or stabbing. The blood on the floor got so thick that people had a hard time dancing because their shoes stuck to the floor.
ŌĆ£There was a family that lived in Lonsdale in the ŌĆś40s by the name of Lonsdale. They had a recreational center called the Colony Center ... They were a wealthy family that had made money from the railroad. Johnny Lonsdale was the most colorful character there ... One thing in particular that Johnny did was drink a lot of Scotch. The story goes that he had twin pearl-handled pistols that he carried and on any given time, after he had too much Scotch, he would begin pulling his guns out inside the skating rink, and on occasion even firing them. It wouldnŌĆÖt be uncommon for him to get on the microphone and announce for everyone to ŌĆśpull off those damn skates and get the hell out of here.ŌĆÖ One lady said she could still remember hearing those skates hit against the wall as everyone began in a mad fury before Johnny started shooting ... He also ran for governor of Arkansas in the 1940s.ŌĆØ
One Saturday night at the Colony Center a young, handsome John Landers walked through the door. He got the attention of all the young ladies, but this didnŌĆÖt set well with three rough boys from Paron.
After John had skated and danced with several girls, the Paron boys thought it was time to set this young city boy from Benton straight. The three walked up to John and said, ŌĆ£Were gonna whip your___!ŌĆØ
John had no response and went about his business. It was about 1:30 a.m. and John decided it was time to leave with one of the local girls on his arm. As he walked through the front door to the outside, he came face to face again with the Paron boys. Of course they all had had a few drinks and were ready for a fight. This time they said, ŌĆśOK, City Boy, youŌĆÖre fixinŌĆÖ to get your____w hipped ŌĆö real good!ŌĆØ
Still holding on to his date, John calmly said, ŌĆ£Before you boys do that, you need to know that my big bother is Watt Landers, and when he hears about this you boys will need plastic surgery! That is, if youŌĆÖre still alive.ŌĆØ
Immediately the Paron boys said, in unison, while they took off their hats, ŌĆ£Mr. Landers, have a nice evening.ŌĆØ
Actually Watt was not his brother but his uncle, but at 1:30 in the morning, who cares?
WattŌĆÖs reputation was well-known through out Saline County. His motto was: ŌĆ£Everything should be settled with a good fight.ŌĆØ He and Spajo Richards made good running buddies.
Since Downtown Benton was the ŌĆ£heartŌĆØ of the county, it saw the greatest concentration of this type of activity. On Saturdays, Downtown Benton was like Park Plaza Mall in Little Rock. Folks from all over the county would come to Benton to shop, eat and socialize. Downtown was a swarm of humanity. There were barber shops on every street open to 9 or 10 on Saturday night, for those once-a-week haircuts.
If you had a weak battery in your car, you parked it on the hill at the west end of South Street where the 911 building is today. When you got ready to go home you could get your vehicle rolling and pop the clutch to get started. This hill was known as: Battery Hill or T-Model Hill.
When the sun went down, things got rowdy. By the late ŌĆś40s the stage was being set for a showdown between the Drys and the Wets. ThatŌĆÖs Part II.

There are many flavors that pair well with chocolate. Coffee is one, and it is often included in chocolate cakes to bring out some of the darker notes of chocolate.

These dark beers often have an intense malty flavor and an almost chocolate-like profile to them, and they can enhance the bitter and malty notes that ... Read More »

Lemon and Walnut Soda Bread
Soda bread – or Irish soda bread – is an easy to make quickbread that uses baking soda as a leavening agent. What makes it different from other quickbreads is that soda bread dough is very firm and the bread is generally baked in a free-form loaf, much like yeasted breads are. The bread is very easy to make, so you can have a fresh ... Read More »
Mini Irish Soda Breads
Irish soda bread is a type of quick bread that uses baking soda as a leavener. They're easy loaves to make because the basic recipe has just four ingredients: flour, baking soda, salt and buttermilk. This simple ingredient list also means that it is quite easy to put your own twist on the classic loaf. As much as I enjoy a plain soda bread when ... Read More »

Irish Cream Brownies
When liquours are included in baked goods, the flavor doesn't always make it through to the finished product. This definitely isn't the case for these boozy Irish Cream Brownies. There is quite a bit of Irish Cream mixed right into the brownie batter, infusing it with flavor. There is also some in the glaze that finishes these off, adding yet another little kick to these ...

Baileys and Vanilla Tiramisu
It's become an unofficial tradition for me to make tiramisu for New Year's Eve. I'm not sure how it came about, but it's definitely not a bad thing. Tiramisu has always struck me as a kind of elegant dessert, with its layers of ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. That said, it is also very easy to put together and can be made well in advance – ...

Skillet Scones (Soda Bread Farls)
Soda bread farls are flat breads that are made from the same dough as Irish soda bread, but are cooked in a skillet or on a griddle. They're triangular and made by shaping the bread dough into a disc and cutting it into quarters before cooking, then cooking each piece individually. The idea is that it is easier to whip up a bread at a ... Read More »

How about going old school with with rubber bands and whatever those pegs are called on the fuse. Wing would just need reinforcement on the LE and TE for rubber bands not to cut into the foam, and the original bolt holes can be used for alignment purposes with some dowel guides.

Seriously, I was commenting not long ago when someone started preaching about what I "should do" to get better videos than my li'l $9 KeyCam produced on my first try -- first part of his "advice" involved buying a $300 camera & you can pretty well guess the rest, all the way up to buying quality video editing software, adding soothing music soundtrack....yada dadah blahda!!! -- that 6 months prior I would have never even DREAMED I would shortly be filming myself from a plane I was flying 400 feet above by remote control .... and considering that we were watching a video showing just that, I was plenty happy - and amazed - with what I had done! And if someone had told me a year prior I'd be doing it, I'd have likely said "Yeah, ri-i-i-ight" & walked away from 'em real quick. |

Mar 20, 2012, 12:00 PM | |
Oh yeah....about the 'finger work'. Anybody else find that fuse to be kinda slick-ish around that one point you hurl from? I've been thinking of adding a small patch of sandpaper/emery cloth or something at that spot for better grip. It's not so much that you've gotta toss it all that hard - she practically flies 'erself out of your hand -- but with the weight distribution at that hold-point, more than once I've nearly had the wind blow it out of my grip as I was walking out to the pilot's station, turning around & positioning myself to launch, etc. Those big wings catch a lot of wind, they do! Again, biggest thing that's kept me from doing it (adding some 'grippy') is concern for how it might affect gliding. That, & not decided yet what'd be best to use.
Anyway, y'all fly the same plane so you must have experienced it too. Given some kinda remedy any thought?? |
Mar 20, 2012, 01:21 PM | |
Now that you mention it, yes, this thing is slippery! I'm going to try just plain 3M heavy duty packing tape. Light enough, already own it, and I find it grippy enough to use on the launch wingtip of my Alula EVO SAL glider. Feels slightly rubbery against your fingers and should stick to that fuse OK if the decals do.

Gidley backs chastened Johns
PUBLISHED: 15 Jun 2010 13:44:00 | UPDATED: 15 Jun 2010 17:27:30PRINT EDITION: 15 Jun 2010
Torn between two close friends, NSW captain Kurt Gidley has passionately defended Andrew Johns but also thrown his support behind Timana Tahu's dramatic Origin walkout.
Gidley on Tuesday rejected any suggestion that Johns was racist and backed the shamed ex-Blues assistant coach to return "bigger and better for the game", possibly as early as NSW's Origin III camp.
The Blues captain also admitted he was present at the now infamous NSW bonding session last week when Johns made racial slurs - but did not realise NRL star Tahu was offended until his teammate was about to leave camp two days later.
However, Gidley denied the NSW Origin set up had a racist culture, dismissing the suggestion as "outrageous".
Almost a week after Johns' comments were made, Gidley finally gave his version of events on the eve of arguably NSW's most important Origin clash.
Queensland can claim a record fifth straight series win with victory at Suncorp Stadium on Wednesday night.
But Gidley used the match-eve press conference to throw his support behind Johns, claiming the fallen idol may return to the Blues fold before game three in Sydney next month.
"Personally yeah for sure (I hope so) because I love having him around as a person and as a coach because he has so much to offer he game of rugby league," he said.
"Things will settle down maybe after this game.
"I know he is deeply disappointed in himself and what has gone on.
"He will get over it. He will become bigger and better for the game."
Asked if Johns was racist, Gidley said: "He's not.
"I see the things he does in the game and a lot of things people don't see, either giving his boots to charity or his own personal jumpers.
"He's obviously still going to be a great mate of mine."
Gidley felt just as strongly for Tahu, who he tried to "talk round" when the NSW winger announced he was walking out as a stance against Johns' comments.
"It was a tough one for me, because I am good mates with both of them and to see their friendship broken like it is...," Gidley said.
"I respect both of them, and I respect Timana's stance on it.
"(But) I was with Timana the morning he left and I didn't get any sign that he was upset until (coach) Craig (Bellamy) told me and then I went and saw Timana in his room.
"I am probably one who can sit down with Timana and have a chat with him about most stuff, but he had already made up his mind (to leave)."
Gidley said he was at the session where Johns made a racial comment about Queensland indigenous star Greg Inglis but was unsure about other slurs directed at various races which Tahu referred to in a statement on Monday night.
"I was there but I am not sure what I was thinking at the time (when it happened)," he said.
"I didn't hear exactly what went on and what was said. I can't go into details."
But Gidley was visibly riled by suggestions Queensland coach Mal Meninga had been pointing the finger at the NSW camp as racist when he said on Monday: "We pick sides basically on who is playing the best - and we talk about the Maroon jersey - as opposed to colours of skin."
Gidley said: "It is definitely not acceptable to make a racial slur - to label NSW that is ridiculous."
Gidley also put his hand up after being lambasted in the press for not commenting publicly as captain about the Johns controversy earlier.
"In previous camps I have always done the first press conference and the last one - we work on a rotation where senior players are put up each day," he said.
"I suppose you can have a shot at me for that but that is just the process we go through with this camp."

Knocking down wall
I have a question for everyone, hopefully you can answer...
We have the opportunity to move back to my partner's parent's rental house in a very beautiful suburban area (I bought a house in the city we live in right now). The problem is that the house is very dated and needs some work.
Most of the work we want to do to make it somewhat more equivalent to our current house is cosmetic, or it is work that we could do on our own.
There are two major things we can't do on our own:
1. We want to knock part of the wall out between the kitchen and dining room. We don't want to remove the wall completely; just remove some of it so we can see eachother from each room. Unfortunately, that wall used to be an external wall at some point (I believe).
2. I want to put a door in the living room leading outside. The problem is that I have no idea how we could go about putting a door in, and there is baseboard heating so somehow we'd have to make sure the baseboard heating can be accomadated.
The more "pressing" issue is the wall...I suppose we can wait for the door.
How do I go about doing this? I am not sure who I should bring in to see what we can tear out and what we can't. I'm sure since we aren't even knocking the whole thing down that it will be fine, but I'm just not sure. Do I contact a structural engineer? I don't know where to go. I suppose they could also offer advice concerning the door I want to put in.
I'm hoping that since we aren't tearing the whole wall down that we could do it for around $500. My budget for the door is $500 without the cost of the door (so maybe a total of $900).
I don't think your budget is realistic at all if that is for the entire project (especially since there is baseboard heat, exterior BEARING wall etc. Yes the first thing to do is hire an engineer to determine if what you want to accomplish can be done.
Krycek- I'm no expert, but I've seen this done enough times on HGTV to know that if it's load bearing, you can't just cut a hole in the wall. You have to put up a temporary wall, open up the area of the wall you want open, and then frame it in with a beam and supports...then take out the temporary wall. You'll need someone (like a structural engineer) to determine if it's a load bearing wall and how much weight you need to support. This will determine the size and type of beam you'll need...and if you need any reinforcements in the basement or cellar to support the new beam.
I'm sure this is going to cost more than $500, but I would check with a professional before making any definite decisions. If it wasn't an external wall (nor a load bearing wall) then it would be MUCH easier to open up the space. Better to know for sure...than to guess.
Your budget is about what it would cost for a consult from the structural engineer that you need to create a report for the city to get your permit. Then there is the permit cost and the contractor cost. If the wall has electrical or HVAC in it, besides being load bearing, then your cost also just went up.
On a good day, with there being no hidden structural issues, what you want might cost you 2K if you DIYed it all. For a contractor to do the same job, you might be looking at 3K and up. More if the electrical and HVAC prove to be problematic. Plus permit costs.
And now onto the door project. That obviously needs the HVAC for the room to be re-engineered. How complex that may be will depend on the type of baseboard heating that you have as well as the insulation and window type and a whole host of other issues. You need to have a HVAC person come in and take a look at the system as a whole because if the current system is at the end of it's normal lifespan, just doing one change to it could take it over the edge, or, it could be an extremely cost foolish decision to not address the whole home.
Then, after the HVAC is addressed, you have all of the structural and cosmetic issues to deal with that you would have with any cutting a hole in the exterior envelope to your house. You want to be sure that it's done in a way as to keep your house weathertight as well as done in an aesthetically pleasing manner for the exterior and interior patches to the wall components. This is probably more than a 5K project and could cost as much as 20K if the whole home's HVAC and insulation will need to be addressed.
Krycek- The first thing I would do is get three contractors out to see your house and give you some free estimates. Tell them what you'd like to do (long term) and what you hope to do right away. That might give you some idea what some of these things would cost, what is necessary for permits in your area and whether you can change/move the baseboard heating.
If contractors are as slow in your area as they are in mine...you should be able to find some good people. What might normally be too small to bother with, might be a good 'quick job' between major projects. It doesn't hurt to call and ask. And remember, you want FREE estimates :)
Thanks for the guidance and opinions, everyone. I appreciate it.
There is no HVAC...just H. LOL. No ventilation, no AC. In any event, my budget was unrealistic so thanks for the heads-up.
We would not spend 20k on it...that's a bit overboard. I suppose if we want to move back we will just concentrate on doing something with the wall between the kitchen and the dining/living area. We could temporarily live with the situation as is.
I miss the land, but I do not miss the old jumbled up house. It's a shame because the main living area is set up like a modern house - living room, dining, and kitchen in a line.

Girls Tennis: Caroline Lorenzini commits to Army
Mt. Prospect 10/22/11 Hinsdale Central's Caroline Lorenzini hits a backhand volley during the Red Devil's 6-3, 5-7, 6-4 victory over Alysa Straub & Alexia Petrovic of Nazareth Academy. IHSA Girls Tennis Finals. | Joel Lerner~Sun-Times MediaUpdated: October 3, 2012 3:42PM
Caroline Lorenzini has always wanted to play tennis in college. It wasn't until a conversation with her father, Ron, before she considered going to a service academy.
Lorenzini, a two-time state champion as a doubles player at Hinsdale Central, verbally committed Sept. 22 to play next season at Army. Lorenzini, a Clarendon Hills resident, is a Four-Star recruit by tennisrecruiting.net and has an opportunity with partner Marika Cusick to become the state's first three-time state doubles champions in girls tennis history. Lorenzini and Cusick became the third Devils doubles team to win back-to-back state titles. There have been six doubles teams to win two state titles since the state tournament began in 1972.
Lorenzini chose Army over Saint Louis and Navy.
"Ever since I was little I wanted to play tennis in college," Lorenzini said.
She made the commitment toward receiving an athletic scholarship at Army, but is still working on forms and documents to gain formal acceptance to West Point.
The Black Knights play in the Patriot League and already feature one other Chicago area player in Maine South graduate and Army freshman Haley O'Connor, who did not play tennis in high school. O'Connor competed on the regional and national levels within the U.S. Tennis Association. O'Connor's doubles partner and twin sister, Audrey, is playing tennis at Illinois.
"[West Point] is a really pretty school," Lorenzini said. "I loved the team and I love the coach [Paul Peck]."
Lorenzini is the oldest of four brothers and sisters who play tennis out of the Hinsdale Racquet Club. Caroline was a J. Kyle Braid Leadership Award nominee in 2010 at Central.
She was a Marion Wood Baird Cup finalist in the past year and placed second in the USTA National Doubles in July 2011.
Lorenzini will compete in the West Suburban Silver meet Friday and Saturday at Proviso West.

"Teen Miami" at HistoryMiami Puts South Florida Teenagers in Historical Context
historymiami.org |
Miami Beach High School students circa 1980s |
But hey, we were all teenagers once. We can all empathize with feeling ignored at school, unappreciated at home, and generally undervalued in society. And with HistoryMiami's upcoming exhibit, "Teen Miami," we'll all be empathizing a whole lot more. Like, woah.
It's high time Miami's teens have gotten some respect. After all, teens have been the enduring subject of bestselling books like Catcher in the Rye, and movies such as the '80s cult classic The Breakfast Club. Hell, some of history's most famous people made their names as teenagers; take Alexander the Great, who founded his first colony at 16, or Joan of Arc, who lead the French army to successful victories during the Hundred Years' War. (Beat that, Biebs.)
But history museums mostly praise the impact of adults in history. The exclusion of teen voices and experiences in museum exhibitions, collections, and archives have actually resulted in a noticeable disconnect between museums and adolescents. The result is a sad number of American teenage visitors to museums nationwide. Teenagers are people, too, you know.
historymiami.org |
Some of the bright young faces behind Teen Miami |
Opening September 23, "Teen Miami" explores teen life and culture in Miami through the decades. Learn how local adolescents were impacted by World War II and the Vietnam War, listen to the sounds created by local teen garage bands and R&B stars of the 1960s, examine the role teens played in integrating Miami's high schools, and get a kick at viewing the fashion statements made by teens through the decades. You'll probably notice that mustaches aren't just an ironic, au courant statement -- the average 14-year-old in the '80s also sported facial hair on his upper lip.
The exhibit's opening party on Saturday, September 22, will be stocked with burgers, shakes, and fries -- you know, teen food -- plus music by DJ Zelda and a teen lounge where cool kids can escape the oppressive embarrassingness of their parents. The party runs from 7 to 10 p.m. Admission costs $10 for adults and $7 for teens. RSVP by September 19 to 305-375-5356 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
"Teen Miami" is on view through June 16, 2013. Admission is free to HistoryMiami members and children under 6; $8 for Non-members; $7 for seniors and students with ID; $5 for Children 6-12. The Museum of HistoryMiami, 101 West Flagler St., Miami, 305-375-1492, historymiami.org.
