Queer Popular Culture: Literature, Media, Film, and Television
Thomas Peele
Palgrave Macmillan, Apr 15, 2007 - Literary Criticism - 234 pages
Queer Popular Culture is an exciting new collection that brings together work from several disciplines that address queer representation in multiple contexts. The articles cover many aspects of contemporary U.S. and international queer culture, including the rise of the queer cowboy, the emergence of lesbian chic, and the expansion of representations of blackness, and work on queer, Taiwanese, online communities. Other essays address queer representations from soap operas to gangster films. The book also includes a pedagogical section that addresses the use of queer concepts in the classroom

Barry could leave Man City
FOX Soccer's Blog offers unique coverage of the world game. Join us.
Gareth Barry could walk away from Manchester City at the end of the season after admitting the club have yet to speak to him about a new deal.
The England international has a year left to run on his current contract and despite new boss Manuel Pellegrini reassuring him that he is part of his plans, Barry remains in the dark over his future.
Barry, 32, who joined City from Aston Villa in a £12m deal four years ago, admits he is disappointed there has been no offer.
"It's just a case of wait and see, as far as a new contract is concerned," Barry told the Sunday Mirror.
"I haven't heard anything about a new deal from the club, so it looks as though my contract will run out next summer and I'll have to take it from there.
"The manager has spoken to me. He told me that he sees a place for me in his squad as he wants two quality players in every position.
"I've got to admit that, with Yaya Toure, Javi Garcia and now Fernandinho in the squad, it's going to be tough for anyone to nail down a position in central midfield. I'm a bit disappointed that there's been no offer, but I haven't got myself too down about it."

Students attending the College of Charleston in the fall likely can expect to pay more: Both in- and out-of-state tuition could jump 3.2 percent under a plan approved Friday by a board committee.
Under the proposed budget, undergraduate in-state tuition would increase $328, from $10,230 to $10,558 per year, and out-of-state tuition would increase $854, from $26,694 to $27,548.
Graduate tuition would also increase, from $11,254 to $11,614 for in-state students and from $29,364 to $30,304 for out-of-state students.
The Board of Trustees' Budget and Finance Committee unanimously approved the increases, which will be recommended to the full board for approval June 9.
College of Charleston is now the sixth most expensive school for in-state tuition and fourth for out-of-state tuition among the 13 South Carolina four-year public universities, rankings that would remain the same under the projected increase.
Outgoing College President George Benson said the college is devoting very little money to new programs. Instead, most of the extra money brought in by the tuition increase would go toward the rising costs of existing expenses, such as building rent and leases.
"The increase is necessary because our costs continue to increase, so we have some mandatory expenses that we have to cover," said Stephen Osborne, the college's executive vice president for business affairs. "These are really to cover our inflationary costs and mandated increases."
Osborne said there were no significant or unexpected changes in the proposed 2014-2015 plan.
"Really, the amount that we're changing our budget is fairly minimal this year," he said.
For 2013-2014, College of Charleston tuition increased by 3.16 percent for in-state students and 5.5 percent for out-of-state students over the previous year.
Osborne said he didn't expect much backlash from students or lawmakers over the projected increase, which would be within the level recommended by state Sen. Hugh Leatherman, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee.

Ornamental peach 'Bonfire'
Anyone around here try one of these? Just saw it yesterday at the Trussville Lowes for $24.95...has beautiful burgandy leaves. I need more color in my tropical garden & thought it might be a possibility.
John dont waste your money.They are just too hard to grow.Like Rhizo said they are too picky.My hubby and I saw them and decided to buy a couple and they made it through the winter outside and they bloomed and actually had peaches.But they did not make it to the fall.We did everything but they passed on anyway.Daughter bought one last year and it also died.We said never again.You may have better luck than we did.Paulette
I don't think this is what I have but it's some kind of peach that I bought at Lowe's for $19.99 last year. It was label "Patio Peach", whatever that means. I planted it in a hugh pot on my deck. It had hard little peaches and burgandy leaves. The peaches never matured and were eaten by creatures. This spring there was the most gorgeous display of bright pink blooms along every limb for maybe 3 weeks. This made it all worthwhile and everyone was astounded at its beauty. Can't wait to see what these peaches do. I have an idea it's strictly an ornamental plant. I really like the burgandy leaves contrasted against the green of the trees further back in the yard. Hope this info helps.
Granted, I'm 400 miles or so north of my boyhood home in Lee Co., now, but the same disease/pest pressures on peaches exist here as they do in Sweet Home Alabama.
I've seen Bonfire - or some other unnamed red/purple-leafed peaches growing here and there - and I'm not certain but what they just grow them from seed, as I see red leafed suckers popping up out of the ground for yards around these trees.

Walk down Water Street in this seaside village and you just might think of Key West.
Maybe it's the women strolling in their lemon-yellow and turquoise pants. Maybe it's the boutiques filled with swirling cotton skirts and dresses in sherbet colors of watermelon, peach and pistachio. Maybe it's how even some of the staid New England houses are dressed up, with bright paint and bursting windowboxes.
Whatever the reason, Stonington Borough has on its resort colors this time of year, as it draws boaters and other visitors from New York, New Jersey and beyond.
Where to eat: We started our visit on the water at Skipper's Dock, which offers a sprawling deck with front-seat views of Stonington Harbor. The menu is heavy on seafood, but you can find just about anything in the Borough, from quiche or a burger at the popular Noah's (featured in the Meryl Streep film "Hope Springs"), authentic Mexican at Milagro Cafe (recently reviewed in the New York Times), or light fare like salads and sandwiches at The Yellow House Coffee & Tea Room (complete with sidewalk seating).
Where to walk: Water Street is the Borough's main drag, with antiques shops, restaurants, clothing stores and classic Colonial and Federal architecture. Here you can people-watch, window shop or just read the interesting plaques on the buildings - including one for James Merrill, the award-winning poet whose apartment is now home to writers-in-residence. (Follow the "Parking" signs for several large lots off this one-way street.)
Where to shop: Cozy shops line both sides of Water Street, from high fashion outlets like Clad-In Clothing and Clad-In Shoes to the Hungry Palette, with its screened fabrics and colorful clothing designed by owner Sandra Loveland Bragdon. Although some boutiques have New York prices, we found lots of bargains at the Fun Company Sample Outlet, with its racks of white cotton dresses and colorful shirts and scarves, as well as candles, soaps and notions, and Zia's, where we browsed tie-dyed Indian skirts and Eddie Bauer shirts.
What to see: Don't miss the Old Lighthouse Museum at the foot of Water Street, located next to a large parking area overlooking the water. The stone lighthouse, built in 1840, is no longer in use, but you can climb its tower for a spectacular view that sweeps from Watch Hill Point in Rhode Island to Fisher's Island in New York.
The Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer House, at 40 Palmer St., is also maintained by the Stonington Historical Society, and for one admission ticket you can tour both places. "Captain Nat," who discovered land later named for him in Antarctica, built a house befitting a whale captain, complete with an octagonal cupola to watch for seagoing vessels.
For the kids: Restless youngsters will enjoy Tom's News & General Store at 133 Water St., where they can pick out an inexpensive toy and a candy treat.
On the outskirts: There's so much to see and do in the vicinity of Water Street, but your trip isn't complete without a visit to the Velvet Mill at 22 Bayview Ave. This sprawling former textile mill is home to dozens of artists, from glass-blowers to painters, as well as the Beer'd Brewing Company.

2 cups flour (I use enriched and whole wheat), divided
1 cup water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, optional
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease an 11x7" pan. Boil water and 1/2 cup of the flour over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of a thin gluey paste. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2. Mix vegan brown sugar, granulated sugar, salt, vanilla, cocoa and oil. Then add the flour and water mixture. Mix well.
3. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, nuts, and chocolate chips.
4. Spread mixture into prepared pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife can be inserted and come out clean.
This was a really easy, and really tasty recipe. I gave some to my friends and they fell in love with them. They keep asking me to make more. I thought of maybe putting some chocolate frosting on them, but they were perfect without it. Enjoy.'
I'm confussed...Do I put 2 cups of sugar in? 1 of vegan and one of brown sugar? Or just pick from either one?
First time making brownies, whoo~!
I had trouble getting the center to cook, but attribute it to my oven.
Ka-Yummmm~ :)>>>
This was my first time making brownies, and they turned out really good! I didn't have any cocoa though, so instead I used hot chocolate powder xD. And I melted chocolate chips on the top after taking the brownies out of the oven. Yummmm.
I changed these a bit to make them healthier. I used 1 c. whole wheat pastry flour, subbed applesauce for the oil, and cut back the sugar a bit. They were still really, really good! Not as good as a fattening gooey brownie of course, but for a healthy-ish brownie they were pretty tasty.
I really liked these while they were still warm. I made some vegan icing i found on this site to top them off. I added almonds instead of walnuts. My husband and i went crazy while they were still warm. But later and the next day when they were at room temp the flour mixture became overwhelming in taste. So serve warm and gooey and definately with icing.
These are the first vegan brownies I have attempted and thought they were great! I thought they were so much better after a day in a tuperware container, they were way more dense than when they came out. At first they were very cake like, but that changed over time. I added walnuts and chocolate chips, soo good!
Sooooooo Soooooooooo YUMMY! my friends & i agree... the BEST BROWNIE RECIPE.... EVER!! Moist, not too cakey... not overly gooey... Perfect.
I added dried cherries & chopped peanuts.... I think they would be really good with peanuts & caramel... kinda like a snickers bar.
Thank You very much! :)>>>
