Friday food news roundup
Food news from around the web for your weekend reading.
Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 11:53 AM
It's Friday afternoon, and that means it's time for me to give you a little weekend reading from around the web. Here are a few food related items that I thought might interest you.
Remember the Nestlé Cookie Dough recall that had people scratching their heads trying to figure out how E. Coli got into cookie dough. Looks like the company put some pretty strict safeguards in place after that and caught another tainted batch recently before it reached the store shelves.
Nestlé USA said Wednesday that two samples of its Toll House refrigerated cookie dough made at a Virginia factory tested positive for E. coli bacteria this week despite rigorous safety measures put in place after a recall of the product last summer.Nestlé also said the tainted dough had not left the factory and no recall was necessary.

A teacher from Illinois who identifies herself as Mrs. Q has pledged to eat the same school lunch that her students are served every day in 2010 (I assume only the days that school is in session.) She's blogging about her experience in Fed Up: The School Lunch Project, complete with photos of the lunches. I may need to do a Q & A with Miss Q soon. From Day 4:
Today's menu: Chicken patty with peas, two slices of bread, fruit cup, and chocolate milk.There was some strange sauce on the patty. I guess it was tomato sauce, but it was tasteless and of course you can see that it was burnt. The fruit cup was partially frozen. In fact I stabbed it with my spork.

If you live in my neck of the woods, that would be the South Jersey/Philly region, there's an event going on next Monday to benefit the Food Bank of South Jersey. My favorite chef, Mark Smith, will be hosting the Mighty Mac Battle of the Chefs with several other chefs in the region. Each chef, including one of MNN's 40 chefs under 40, James Malaby, will be sharing a take on good ol' mac-n-cheese. The event will be held at Tortilla Press Cantina in Pennsauken, NJ.
Click here for more details.
MNN's own Matt Hickman tackles a question that is relevant for so many of us . Is there such a thing as a natural diet soda? As someone who kicked and screamed her way into kicking the diet cola habit a year ago, I found it an interesting read. Was Matt able to find a healthy diet soda? You'll have to read and find out for yourself.
Enjoy your weekend!

A gay man in Key West, Fla., told his partner, "If Barack gets reelected, I'm not going to be around," and scrawled the words "Fuck Obama" across his will before apparently committing suicide, reports the The Miami Herald. The victim was also reportedly stressed about his struggling business.
Henry Hamilton, 64, was found dead in his home November 8, beside two empty prescription bottles — for Xanax, an anti-anxiety medication, and one for Seroquel, used to treat schizophrenia and other nervous disorders.
Hamilton's partner, Michael Cossey, told police officer Anna Dykes that Hamilton was "very upset about the election results" and "has been very stressed about his business," Tropical Tan.
The Herald reports that a friend concerned about Hamilton's well-being had a standing request for police to check on the man. When officer Pablo Rodriguez stopped by the couple's condo November 8, he awakened Cossey, who had fallen asleep on the couch. That's when the two men discovered Hamilton's body.
Police are awaiting autopsy results but say they have no evidence leading them to suspect foul play in Hamilton's death. Read more here.

Nation, K., Allen, R. and Hulme, C. (2002) The limitations of orthographic analogy in early reading development: Performance on the clue-word task depends on phonological priming and elementary decoding skill, not the use of orthographic analogy. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 80 (2). pp. 75-94. ISSN 0022-0965
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Two experiments investigated the mechanisms underlying analogical transfer in the clue-word reading task developed by Goswami and her colleagues. Across both experiments, an equivalent number of "analogy" responses were made regardless of whether the clue word was seen or just heard. In addition, the number of "analogy" responses to words sharing both orthographic and phonological overlap with the clue words was no greater than that shown to words sharing only pronunciations. These results provide no evidence for the view that beginning readers make genuine orthographic-based analogies. Instead, the findings are interpreted within a framework in which phonological priming, in combination with the children's own partial decoding attempts based on limited orthographic knowledge, account for their performance on the clue-word task. It is concluded that the extent to which beginning readers make orthographic analogies is overestimated and as a consequence, theories that emphasize the importance of orthographic analogy as a mechanism driving the development of early reading skills need to be questioned.

US Pacific fleet chief says North Korea remains top security concernBy Bhavan Jaipragas, AFP January 23, 2014, 12:06 am TWN SINGAPORE -- North Korea remains Washington's "number one security concern" in Asia, the U.S. Pacific Fleet commander said Wednesday, despite simmering territorial disputes elsewhere in the region.
Admiral Harry B. Harris Jr. also expressed concern over "coercion" by China in its maritime disputes with neighbors. He said an increased deployment of U.S. military assets in the region as part of an Asian rebalance announced in 2012 would ensure that "we are where it matters and when it matters." "Our number one security concern is North Korea," Harris told reporters in Singapore on board the destroyer USS Spruance. "I am concerned as a commander for the provocations that come from North Korea. I don't understand them, I don't understand their leadership and I don't understand their intent," he said. Pyongyang last week warned of "calamities and disasters" if the United States and South Korea push ahead with a series of annual joint military drills from next month. Last year's exercises were held in the wake of North Korea's third and largest nuclear test, and prompted months of escalated military tensions that saw Pyongyang issue similar apocalyptic threats of nuclear war against its southern neighbor and the United States. Harris also expressed concern at China's declaration of an "air defence identification zone" over the East China Sea, including over islands disputed with Japan. "We think that the air defence identification zone (ADIZ) was an unfortunate imposition in the region," he said. "It highlights an issue that I am concerned about, and that is coercion by China in this case and other countries as well," he added. "It has not affected our military operations at all. We choose to do business as usual in the ADIZ." The declaration, which caused an international furor, requires foreign aircraft to declare their intentions and maintain communications with Chinese authorities or face unspecified "defensive emergency measures." China is also embroiled in a bitter row with the Philippines, Vietnam and other nations about overlapping claims in the South China Sea. Beijing claims sovereignty over essentially all that sea. Harris urged countries involved in the territorial disputes to resolve them "amicably, peacefully, and without resort to undue pressure." He said the recent completion of the deployment in Southeast Asia of the U.S. Navy's first littoral combat ship (LCS), designed to fight in coastal areas, was an example of how Washington's Pacific rebalance "is real and being realized". A second LCS will be deployed in the region for 16 months later this year, he said. He also welcomed the acceptance by China's People's Liberation Army of an invitation to take part in major U.S.-hosted naval drills for the first time in June off Hawaii. The biennial Rim of the Pacific exerise, or RIMPAC, is billed as the world's largest international maritime war games and will feature armed forces from 23 nations. "We welcome Chinese participation, and we welcome quite frankly the growth of China as a military power in the Pacific. There is nothing wrong with that," he said.

Final Score: Portland 108, Phoenix 101
Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Steve Blake recorded season-highs of 20 points and 12 assists, as the injury-depleted Trail Blazers held off a late Phoenix rally to hand the Suns a 108-101 defeat at US Airways Center.
LaMarcus Aldridge had a team-high 22 points and Andre Miller checked in with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists, helping Portland snap a two-game skid and run its winning streak against Phoenix to four games after losing 11 straight in the series.
The Blazers snapped a nine-game road losing streak in the series, winning in the desert for the first time since February 4, 2004 .
Amare Stoudemire paced the hosts with 24 points and nine boards. Steve Nash added 15 points and 11 assists for the Suns, who had their five-game win streak halted.
Portland led 30-20 after 12 minutes of action and hit from the floor on nine of their final 10 possessions of the first half to take a healthy 60-44 lead into the break.
The Blazers pumped their lead to 22, 77-55, with an 11-2 run through the middle stages of the third, ending on a three-point play by Jeff Pendergraph with 4 1/2 minutes remaining.
Phoenix was within 83-67 heading to the fourth quarter and completed a 15-0 run that bridged the final two frames with Jared Dudley's second three-pointer of the stretch capping things for an 83-67 game with 10 1/2 minutes to play.
But The Blazers battled back with an ensuing 12-2 surge, sparked by consecutive three-pointers from Blake and Nicolas Batum.
The Suns threatened to cut their deficit under double digits as Channing Frye put in back-to-back baskets and Nash struck from long distance moments later for a 98-88 difference with about four minutes left.
Then Phoenix took advantage of a poor stretch by the visitors, as Martell Webster's tip-in with 2:40 to go served as Portland's final field goal. Stoudemire hit consecutive buckets to start an 8-1 burst and ended it with two free throws to bring the hosts within 101-96 with 30.2 seconds left.
Nash drained a three following two Blake free throws for a four-point game, but failed to hit from long distance on Phoenix's next possession. Miller and Blake combined to go 4-for-4 at the line from there to seal the win.
Game Notes
The Suns sport an 18-7 mark at home this season, while Portland moved to .500 on the road at 13-13...Dante Cunningham had 13 points for the visitors, while Webster and Juwan Howard scored 10 apiece...Frye scored a dozen points for Phoenix, which also got 11 points each from Dudley and Grant Hill...The Trail Blazers shot 58.4 percent from the floor, the most prolific shooting performance against the Suns this season...Phoenix shot 47 percent.

Biographical/Historical Information
Harold Francis Williamson, Sr. was a professor of American and European economic history, noted for his meticulous scholarship in writing business histories. Born March 21, 1901 in Piper, Kansas, he married Arline Hotchkiss on August 12, 1932. In a teaching career that spanned more than forty years, Williamson taught economic history at the University of Southern California, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and Yale University. In 1948 he began a twenty-one year tenure as an economics professor at Northwestern University, from which he retired in 1969.
Williamson earned A.B. and M.A. degrees in economics at the University of Southern California in 1924 and 1926. Williamson received a second master's degree from Harvard University in 1930, followed by a doctorate in 1936. His dissertation subject was a biography of Edward Atkinson, a textile mill executive and conservative reformer.
In a teaching career that spanned more than forty years, Williamson taught economic history at the University of Southern California, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and Yale University. In 1948 he began a twenty-one year tenure as an economics professor at Northwestern University. His lectures placed the developments of American and European economic history in technological, sociological, geographic, and political context, enlivened with many examples of technological developments. Upon his retirement in 1969, the Board of Trustees of Northwestern awarded him the title of Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus. In 1970 Williamson began an appointment as Senior Resident Scholar at Eleutherian Mills-Hagley Foundation, Delaware, where he advised students in the fellowship program. He also taught an economic history seminar at the University of Delaware. The opportunity to record institutional history of Northwestern University on its 125th anniversary drew him back to Evanston in 1973, where he completed several writing projects before retiring in 1985 to Sarasota, Florida.
Writing histories of corporations, industries, and organizations was Williamson's specialty, demonstrated with notable skill in his books The American Carpet Manufacturers (with Arthur Cole, 1940), Winchester: The Gun That Won the West (1952), Designed for Digging: The First 75 Years of Bucyrus-Erie Company (with Kenneth Myers, 1955), Northwestern Mutual Life: A Century of Trusteeship (with Orange A. Smalley, 1959), and two volumes of The American Petroleum Industry (with Arnold Daum, 1959 and Ralph Andreano et al, 1964). Other major works included Edward Atkinson: Biography of an American Liberal (1935), The Growth of the American Economy (1941 and 1953), and Economic Development, Principles and Patterns (with John Buttrick, 1954). In later years, he completed Northwestern University: A History, 1850-1975 (with Payson S. Wild, 1976), edited Evolution of International Management Structures (1975), and then composed a final book about Northwestern, The Evolution of Management Education, a History of the J. L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management, 1908-1983 (with Michael W. Sedlak, 1983). Williamson also wrote dozens of articles for books, journals and encyclopedias, as well as book reviews, papers, and speeches on a wide range of topics.
Throughout his career, Williamson was very active in professional organizations. He served as secretary-treasurer of the American Economic Association (1963-1970), director of the National Bureau of Economic Research (1957-1964), member of the Council on Research in Economic History (1956-1964), editorial advisory board member of the Business History Review (1958-1964) and Explorations in Entrepreneurial History (1962-1970), president of the Economic History Association (1964-1966), and member of the National Archives Advisory Council (1968-1975). He was a founder of the Business History Conference in 1954, and served as its president (1972-1973). In addition to other activities, Williamson was a constant supporter and tireless advocate of Northwestern University Library and Archives.
Williamson was invited to speak at conferences and programs worldwide, presenting papers in Belfast, Toronto, and Leningrad. When Northwestern participated in a joint project with the International Cooperation Administration in 1960-61 to help the Liberian government develop an economic plan, Williamson served as coordinator and traveled to Africa. In 1965 he spent ten weeks touring Egypt, India, Japan, and other countries for the American Economic Association, with funding from the U. S. State Department and the Ford Foundation, to establish a program for screening foreign students. During the summer of 1971, he was a lecturer at the Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar.
Colleagues and students recognized the excellence of Williamson's contributions to his academic discipline. In 1957, Williamson received an Award of Merit certificate from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin for his book Designed for Digging: The First 75 Years of Bucyrus-Erie Company. The Business History Conference established the Harold F. Williamson, Sr. Prize, to be awarded periodically "for outstanding service in the field of business history." Former students honored Williamson in 1973 with a festschrift, a collection of essays on a wide range of economic topics written by colleagues. Entitled Business Enterprise and Economic Change, the volume was edited by Paul J. Uselding and Louis P. Cain, with a preface applauding "the gentle objectivity and sense of fair play that Harold Williamson always brought to each new situation." In 1988, Fullerton Union High School inducted Williamson into its Wall of Fame, as a distinguished alumnus of the Class of 1920.
Williamson and his wife Arline retired to Sarasota, Florida in 1985, where he died on October 25, 1989. Arline subsequently moved to Urbana, Illinois and died July 19, 1994. Sons Harold F. Williamson, Jr. of Champaign, Illinois and Samuel H. Williamson of Oxford, Ohio both teach economics.
Scope and Content
The papers of Harold F. Williamson, Sr. fill seven boxes, and span the years 1926 to 1987. They illustrate the process of writing business histories, from proposal to publication, and the teaching of economic history over six decades from the 1920's into the 1970's. These materials are divided into seven broad categories: biographical materials, education, correspondence, teaching files, speeches and presentations, associations and organizations, and publications.
The largest subseries, teaching files, retains the topical arrangement that Williamson preferred, and is further subdivided into general topics, Europe and Great Britain, United States, and student papers. The lecture notes in these folders and in the education folders document in meticulous detail the teaching of economic history over several decades.
Correspondence with colleagues comprises another large portion of the papers. The warmth of these letters, and the effusive congratulatory notes the Williamson received upon his retirement, build a picture of the man's close friendships and personality that would otherwise not be represented. Little material exists from what must have been extensive correspondence with publishers and coauthors, and even less describes Northwestern University, its economics department, and faculty.
Williamson's vocation as a business historian was reflected in presentations, articles, proposals, notes, and memberships. The process of planning and writing business histories is demonstrated in "Time Capsules" in Box 7, Folder 4, and in proposals for Sears, the petroleum industry, and the Northwestern University Dental School (Box 7, Folders 6, 7, 10, 11). Correspondence with Chester Destler and David W. Lewis gives special insight into the relationships between businesses and their historians (Box 2, Folders 10 and 11). The Business History Foundation correspondence offers a glimpse into a difficult project (Box 6, Folder 14).
Papers from the 1940's are discolored and fragile; those from other decades are in better condition. Handwritten notes are clear and legible throughout. Materials are arranged chronologically unless otherwise noted.
Biographical Materials include several versions of his Curriculum Vitae, biographical sketches, obituaries for Harold Williamson and his wife Arline, and correspondence related to his teaching appointments. There are no complete lists or indexes of his published articles or of his speeches and presentations. The Honors and Awards folder includes press announcements, certificates, and correspondence.
Clippings include announcements of book publication, attendance at conferences, appointments and honors, and the 1960-61 Liberia trip. One clipping quotes an insightful speech at the Institute of World Affairs in St. Paul on the topic of American misconceptions about the economic development of "backward nations." News Releases from Northwestern University, Eleutherian Mills-Hagley Foundation, and other organizations announce publication of books, leaves of absence for research, and presentations.
The Education materials consist of legible handwritten notes. Some of the paper is fragile.
Williamson took meticulous notes during and after graduate school, when he attended lectures by eminent economists Edwin F. Gay and Abbott P. Usher.
Williamson engaged in extensive correspondence throughout his life with numerous colleagues, students, and friends. Many of the letters in the Correspondence files relate to requests to review books, letters of recommendation for academic positions, and arrangements for conferences. In the general and personal correspondence folders, letters are arranged chronologically, but the letters of recommendation (Box 2, Folder 3) are arranged alphabetically by the name of the candidate. Thirteen folders contain letters exchanged with individuals.
Teaching Files are arranged topically. Williamson typically retained several iterations of lecture notes in each of his topical files, spanning decades. Most are undated. Frequent notations of "BKU" refer to the text An Economic History of Europe Since 1750 by Witt Bowden, Michael Karpovich, and Abbott Payson Usher. Published in 1937 by American Book Company, this text was still being used in Williamson's classes in 1961, and was reprinted in 1970. Some teaching files include correspondence, articles by colleagues or newspaper clippings that Williamson found significant in preparing his lecture for a specific educational topic. Williamson also retained some papers written as assignments by his students at Harvard, Yale, and Northwestern.
Williamson frequently made speeches, but only a few are documented as proceedings or typescripts in the Speeches and Presentations folder. He is named in many conference programs as a presenter, moderator of a panel discussion, organizer, or master of ceremonies. The transcript of a 1947 Yale radio interview mentions the implications of atomic energy. A particularly interesting speech from 1932 discusses economic changes in the United States, trade barriers, the economic implications of changes to national boundaries in Europe after World War I, and the new position of the U.S. as a creditor nation. A major address to the Chicago Corral of Westerners International (a history club) was a recapitulation of Winchester: The Gun That Won the West. Williamson spoke to the American Marketing Association, the International Economic History Association, the Ulster-Scot Historical Foundation (concerning the history of Rand McNally and Company), and introduced John Kenneth Galbraith at the Conference on the Evolution of International Management Structures. One speech is a tribute to his friend and colleague Orange Smalley, who died in 1964. Lucid outlines exist from a series of ten lectures on economic history presented at the Kyoto American Studies Summer Seminar in 1971.
Materials filed under Associations and Organizations include correspondence, meeting minutes, and financial reports. The American Economic Association was very important to Williamson, and extensive correspondence describes his successful efforts to transfer organizational records from Nashville to Northwestern University Special Collections Department.
Papers related to Publications consist of correspondence, contracts, notes, drafts, proofs, reprints, photocopies of articles, and reviews. The publishers of two dictionaries and an encyclopedia requested articles on specific topics. Williamson actively sought opportunities to prepare business histories, as demonstrated by his proposals to the petroleum industry, Sears, Roebuck and Company, and Northwestern University Dental School. The materials related to Northwestern University: A History include correspondence, press releases, reviews, and letters from Curtis D. MacDougall, an N. U. journalism professor, criticizing the book's handling of McCarthy-era persecution that took place during MacDougall's 1948 U. S. Senate campaign. Transcripts of interviews with Donald Jacobs, Herbie Juris, Gene Lavengood, and James Allen provide some insight into the writing of the Kellogg Graduate School of Management history.

Although it's worth considering why a minority [edit: a minority of men, I mean] would try and carve out a new niche. There's still an underlying misogyny for as long as feminine = undesirable.

One other thought per the initial poster- I think the gender stereotyping is increasing to such a degree that I find that girls and boys no longer play together, at least not the way they did in my generation (I was a child in the late 70s/early 80s). Outside of my own children who play with reach other, I find that all the birthday parties we go to are single-sex after about the age of 4 years old, and no one has playdates with boys/girls the way I remember happening and experienced myself when I was growing up. It seems sad and regressive.

I remember it being this way when I was growing up in the 80's. I wonder if the parties thing has as much to do with the ridiculous amounts of money that people spend on birthday parties these days. Much easier to just say "only the boys from class" than to pick and choose. Although, DH's parents admittedly kept him from coed parties after about age 8, and that was the 80's.

That's so funny -- we've had the opposite experience. Our son is almost 2 and despite his boyish haircut (which I'm sure someone will yell at me for saying), EVERYONE thinks he is a girl. It has never bothered me and when he was very young and had the blonde curls, I almost felt bad for people who would start commenting on how beautiful he was only to stop when they realized they couldn't figure out if he was a boy or a girl. Most went with girl and still do, no matter what he's wearing. It's very bizarre, but I couldn't care less. I just take it as a compliment that he's so beautiful that people think he's a girl, but I'm sure that's just the mother in me.
To answer the original question, he's obviously still young, but he plays with stuffed animals, including lots of pink and purple bears and other animals. If he's given a choice (which he always is) he will always choose pink and purple out of the color options. He also is obsessed with cleaning supplies like vacuums, brooms/dustpans, etc., and he loves it when we go to playdates at houses where they have toy kitchens! I actually was worried when we started noticing this because my husband is pretty macho and I thought he would not like it, but he's totally fine about it and is just happy that our son is having fun. I can't speak from experience since we haven't had to deal with any harder issues than a pink bear and a vacuum, but I suspect we will just want our son to be happy regardless of what that means. And for the record, we are very conservative and from very conservative families and environments.
Which brings me to Blade's comment that everyone lambasted. I took it to mean that the higher up the SES scale you get, the more you can rely upon the fact that your child will likely be accepted and successful no matter what they are like, so there is less pressure to get them to conform to society's stereotypes, whereas folks (mainly males) lower on the SES scale feel more like they have to force their sons to be masculine to be accepted (even if it's more subconscious) and the fathers more likely came from that environment themselves. I could be wrong about what she meant and it obviously wouldn't be true all the time, nothing ever is, but that fits my experience (which includes folks on both ends and the middle of the scale).

Pacheco volleyball no match for Los Banos
Los Banos High's volleyball team stayed focused in Wednesday's rout of cross-town rival Pacheco, winning 25-7, 25-6, 25-11.
Los Banos coach Greg Soliz has begun starting games with outside hitter Jade Fachin on the back row in order to get her serve in the game early, and it paid off big against Pacheco, with Fachin racking up 9 aces to go along with her 14 kills.
"She has probably one of the toughest serves, so it gets us some points early," Soliz said. "And we have a front row good enough that we can count on some other hitters when she's in the back, but to get her in the back row with her jump serve or just her jump float is big. I think our other hitters are good enough to side out and get her back in the front row."
With Veronica Lampreda on the other side, middle blockers Savannah Pena and Evelyn Johnson holding down the middle and setter Colleen Allen also able to handle herself at the net, the strategic plays makes sense for Soliz, and it was a combination for which Pacheco had no answer.
Los Banos scored the first point of the first game on a Julia Waldron ace and held the lead for the entire game. Pacheco scored the firs point of the second game on a Los Banos error, then a Pacheco error and two Fachin aces put the Tigers on top for good again.
The Panthers gave more of a fight in the third game, taking a 5-3 lead on a Nicole Terry kill, but Los Banos took a 6-5 lead on a pair of Pacheco errors and a Fachin kill, and again held it until the end of the game.
"The girls were ready to play tonight. It's Pacheco, and it's one of those things where the girls were excited to play, they were ready to play," Soliz said. "They stayed focused, and they didn't get caught up in the hype in the beginning and start making mistakes. We stayed within our game and got off big early."
Pacheco's Alexis Garza did what she could on the back line, compiling 8 digs. Jen Eagleton added three kills, and Linda Thompson had 4 assists for the Panthers (12-11, 2-3 WAC). For Los Banos, Allen had 14 assists and Lampreda added 4 digs.
"The thing is, with this game it's all about passing and serving. If you can pass and serve, you're going to play great," Soliz said. "We really focus on passing. Even with them serving, they had some good tough serves, but we work on our passing so much that it helps us."

Oil, Water, and Finding Inspiration Through Creative Photography Techniques
Lately, I've been experimenting with creative photography techniques and making a conscious effort to think outside of the box.
Photographing my life's moments is incredibly important to me and I love capturing my family and our everyday ordinary life. But when it comes to my photography as a whole, I want so much more. I want so badly to grow.
More and more lately, I'm pushing myself to try new techniques.
To learn.
To practice.
To actively challenge myself in new ways.
Oil and Water Photography
When I received my new Tamron 90mm 2.8 Di VC macro lens earlier this week, I was immediately inspired to give oil and water photography a go.
Tackling oil and water photography with my new macro proved to be difficult, but it was a wonderful exercise in focusing manually as well.
With a little bit of patience and a steady hand, I captured a few great shots.
Oil and water photography proved to be a bit of a challenge, but I pushed through and made some improvements to my manual focusing technique.
Go out and push yourself to try a new and creative photography technique today, like photographing oil bubbles in water. Need some help? Rebecca of Bumbles & Light has an awesome tutorial on oil and water photography to guide you.
Let creativity by the catalyst in your photography journey. Use it as a tool to refine and improve your photography skills.

by Heather on March 16, 2013 11:04 am WOW these are great! How fun!
by Barb on March 16, 2013 3:24 pm This looks like so much fun! I need to try this!
by Susi on March 16, 2013 4:52 pm These are awesome. I don't know which one I like the most. I can't decide!!! What a cool thing to photograph. :)
by Amanda Jillian on March 17, 2013 6:43 am Such fun, I might try it even without the macro lens when AJ goes to his dad's.
by Gina on March 17, 2013 6:43 am These are so fun. I'm really drawn to the soft pink ones. I think you did great. Having tried this before- it's quite challenging. I didn't have a macro lens- so that just upped the challenge factor for me. I will have to give it a try again when we have consistently sunny days. Finding the sun for any length of time seems to still be a challenge at the moment :) Definitely something I am not used to yet.

Leatherface has posted a 'promo video' featuring clips of songs from their upcoming full-length. The Stormy Petrel is slated for a February 23, 2010 release through No Idea Records in North America and on the band's own Big Ugly Fish Recordings in their native UK. This will be the band's first new studio album since 2004's Dog Disco, and they've already planned a good amount of touring on this side of the pond; the band will also be releasing a split 7" with Yesterday's Ring in time for their tour together.

With only 300 Corvettes made in the first year of production in 1953, not many of these historic treasures ever cross the auction block in a single year.
But this weekend could be your chance to own one as the 254th Corvette ever made will be up for auction at the first-ever Hartland Auctions sale at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky.
If you haven't seen the new C7 Corvette in person, you have another great chance this weekend.
Two of the 2014 Corvette Stingrays will be on display for one day only, Saturday, July 13 during the 31st Annual Classic Auto Show and Cruise In at the Dublin Metro Center in Columbus, Ohio.
After a major thunderstorm swept through Toronto on Monday afternoon and dumped the equivalent of one month's worth of rain in four hours, reports of flash floods starting pouring in. We caught a tweet from @meltait who is a/the multimedia editor/video producer for the Winnipeg Free Press. She shared a pic of this yellow Corvette submerged under an overpass.
The last piece of performance information we've been waiting on for the new 2014 Corvette Stingray has been the EPA fuel economy numbers. GM is now confirming that the 2014 Corvette Stingray equipped with the 455 horsepower LT1 and a 7-speed manual transmission gets an EPA-estimated 17 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg highway.
That makes the Corvette Stingray the most efficient sports car on the market today. No other sports car offers more than 455 horsepower and greater than 29 mpg highway.
Via CorvetteVideos.TV:
During the Gold Rush Rally, this Corvette ZR1 drag races an SL63 AMG. But before that race, there are burnouts to be done. If the photographer was any closer, he'd be inside the vette.

If you've attended any of the major Corvette shows like Mid America Motorworks' Corvette FunFest, Corvettes at Carlisle or the Corvette Museum's annual Bash, you've probably seen GM World Class Certified Technician Paul Koerner helping Corvette owners by diagnosing issues they are having with their later model Corvettes.
Paul has recently joined forces with Mid America Motorworks to produce a series of videos to give Corvette owners tips and tricks for keeping their Corvettes running trouble-free. We recently watched the first video on Paul's Facebook page, The Corvette Mechanic and wanted to share it with our readers.
The Mecum auction is one of the main attractions at Bloomington Gold each year. This year over 100 Corvettes representing all 6 generations arrived in Champaign in search of new homes. If you didn't find what you were looking for in the Bloomington's GoldMine, odds are that you could have found it running through the auction tent. Read on to see the top 11 Corvette sales at the 2013 Mecum Bloomington Gold auction.
The Michigan Mile was held over the weekend on an airport runway in Battle Creek. One of the participants was driving this Silver Corvette ZR1 and according to Jalopnik, after make a couple "ludicrously fast runs", the driver did a burnout and apparently crashed into another vehicle.
We've already seen the 2014 Corvette Stingray, as well as the upcoming limited-to-500 Premiere Edition of the seventh generation Chevy sports car.
But that doesn't mean the rumors about the C7 are anywhere close to dying down.

Faustus tells you that he recently procured a new grimoire. From its pages he's learned of six stones, once owned by mighty infernal beings. He believes that their combined essences could be used to enhance a weapon - providing that its magical energies are correctly aligned with theirs.

California manufacturer that supplies parts to Corpus Christi Army Depot to relocate to area
CORPUS CHRISTI - Quicker response time and lower costs are among the reasons a California aerospace manufacturer will build a local facility to continue serving the Corpus Christi Army Depot, company officials said.
Fillmore, Calif.-based KVA Aerospace, Inc., plans to open a facility in the area in November and possibly earlier, according to a company news release.
The company supplies precision-made aircraft components to the depot, where military aircraft are repaired, retrofitted and modernized.
"We are all very excited about this," company general manager Robert Woodard said in a statement. "Employees for our new facility will inevitably be hired from the Corpus Christi area to staff and run the facility."
The company did not release the exact number of jobs the move would create. The number of employees can depend on the scope of projects KVA works on, company sales manager David Smallwood said.
Smallwood estimated there were at least 40 employees working at the California facility Monday afternoon, though he said many projects may need significantly higher numbers of workers.
KVA's 15,000-square-foot manufacturing plant makes parts out of metal, canvas and wood, then tests and certifies the parts before shipping them.
The company's headquarters will remain in California while most of its manufacturing operations relocate to Texas, Smallwood said.
A major factor the company cites in its decision to build the Texas facility was the Pentagon's 2004 decision to slash the Comanche helicopter program.
Media reports at the time stated Pentagon officials opted to use the $6.9 billion that would have been spent developing the helicopter to upgrade its current fleet — a mood which likely will continue amid calls for fiscal restraint among elected officials in Washington, D.C.
"This is putting more and more pressure on the military to stretch those tax dollars and keep those guys airborne longer," Smallwood said.
The company is repositioning in time for a wave of older aircraft repairs expected to flow into the depot.
Shipping parts to Corpus Christi from California was becoming increasingly costly and moving to Texas decreases the company's response time for requests, Smallwood said.
"It's awfully nice to be able to get a call from CCAD and say 'we'll be right over there,' " Smallwood said.
KVA also plans to develop ties with local educational institutions and offer its facilities for training programs, company officials said.

GAMING NEWSMicrosoft's E3 Conference Shows Way Too Much Kinect, So Long ControllerPosted on Monday, June 6 @ 12:01:10 Eastern by Sebastian_Moss
When I first bought my Kinect, I must admit that I thought, "Where are the good games?" But after watching this year's Microsoft conference, I realized just why games should stick to the controller. Almost every game on show had Kinect support, ranging from casual games such as Dance Central to core titles such as Mass Effect 3 and Fable. Unfortunately, the gameplay showed what is wrong with Kinect - it simply doesn't suit core titles. As Ubisoft fumbled with FPS Kinect with Ghost Recon, and Lionhead flailed in front of their TV with Fable, it became clearly apparent that the device cannot replace the controller. Sadly, if Microsoft's conference is anything to go by, they seem intent on doing just that, with "You're the controller" stuck on everything they had on offer. Even with finger-tracking now on its way, the lack of a controller makes playing core titles - where even a millimeter can make a difference - rather imprecise, and judging by Microsoft's demonstration of Bing, voice control has still not been perfected. Adding on the lag caused by the device, this will undoubtedly lead to gamers standing in front of their TV, twirling their arms, and shouting the same phrase, before being killed by a level one boss. As the fastest selling electronics device ever (or so they claim), Kinect is here to stay, so we'll have to get used to more and more developers having their resources stretched as publishers demand what seems like gimmicky and rather pointless support, rather than focusing on the main controller. Of course, Kinect can be used for terrific titles such as Child of Eden, but that's like saying that the 3DS can be used for games that aren't ports with added 3D. As long as Microsoft supports publisher decisions to add rather silly and unnecessary Kinect controls, it remains destined to be an annoyance among core gamers. Well, there's always next year.

Maintenance for Newbs
Can anyone please recommend a good primer (book/website/whatever) that teaches someone the basics of motorcycle maintenance? As a proud new 07 Shadow Aero owner, I (and my wallet and my wife) would love to do as much of the maintenance as possible on my own. However, I really know very little about vehicle maintenance of any kind, much less motorcycle maintenance.
I did change the oil and oil filter on my own which may sound trivial to most, but it was a big deal for me...I've always done the Jiffy Lube thing on my cars. But I'd really like to learn more about how the pieces all fit together. I'd like to get a solid understanding of how the engine works, how the parts all function and work together, etc. Honestly, I'm lost on most technical discussions on this forum and I want to fix that. |

Get a Clymer's manual
The manual will cost you about $25. Then, before actually using it, come on the forum to see if the manual has it right, or if anyone has experienced a different way to do it, or a simpler way to do it.
For instance, I have found that I can't open my oil plug except from the right side, can only take off the oil filter using a "stabbed through" screwdriver (can't seem to get those oil filter wrench things to work without breaking a nail or two - yeah, I am a GIRL after all), how to put a block under the footstand to check the level of the coolant (can't see that bugger). The little stuff. I have the Haynes manual also, but don't like it as well as the Clymer's. Keep the oil changed with good oil, of the right weight. Oil those cables! You'll do fine. |

I highly recommend CYCLEPEDIA Online Manuals ATV Motorcycle Scooter UTV Repair Service Maintenance for the first year of ownership. It has great pictures and time lines for doing stuff. It isn't free but it has been invaluable to me. I am fairly mechanical but have never worked on or even owned a bike before. I figure i will just keep it one year.

Poke around deep enough and you'll find a Manuals thread with .pdf download links.
I have a 2004 bike and the manual is for 2005 but the 04 and 05 are nearly identical. I like to keep the .pdf on my work desktop. However, nothing beats having a hard copy for the days when it's time to get dirty. If I recall correctly, the Honda Service Manual runs $60 to $80. And is well worth the expense. |

As to which ones...all of them (brake, clutch, throttle, and choke/SE). How can be tricky. Most, if not all, have to be removed first. There are cable "lubers" that use pressurized canned oil and force it through to the other end. And there are DIY lubers that let gravity weep the oil through. And there is WD-40 sprayed into the ends. When, is when they look dry or anytime you have taken the cable loose for some other reason. |

Barrera doesn't like Marquez because he thinks he got robbed in their fight. I'd be surprised if Barrera interviewed him. I remember during the Mayweather/Hatton weigh-in a lot fighters came on the stage, Barrera and Marquez were among them. Barrera shook everybody's hands except Marquez's.
Also headbutted Pac in the first fight, he was a dirty bitch when things didn't go his way. |

Richard Thorpe (February 24, 1896 – May 1, 1991) was an American film director best known for his long career at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.[1]
Born Rollo Smolt Thorpe in Hutchinson, Kansas, he began his entertainment career performing in vaudeville and onstage. In 1921 he began in motion pictures as an actor and directed his first silent film in 1923. He went on to direct more than one hundred and eighty films. The first full length motion picture he directed for MGM was Last of the Pagans (1935) starring Ray Mala. After directing The Last Challenge in 1967, he retired from the film industry. He died in Palm Springs, California on May 1, 1991.
His two favourite films were Night Must Fall (1937) and Two Girls and a Sailor (1944).[2]
Wizard of Oz[edit]
Thorpe is also known as the original director of The Wizard of Oz. He was fired after two weeks of shooting, because it was felt that his scenes did not have the right air of fantasy about them. Thorpe notoriously gave Judy Garland a blonde wig and cutesy "baby-doll" makeup that made her look like a girl in her late teens rather than an innocent Kansas farm girl of about thirteen. Both makeup and wig were discarded at the suggestion of George Cukor, who was brought in temporarily. Stills from Thorpe's work on the film survive today. Further, it is understood that bits of his filmed footage of Toto escaping from the Wicked Witch's castle are still featured in the film, albeit uncredited.
For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Thorpe has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6101 Hollywood Blvd. In 2003 a Golden Palm Star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars in Palm Springs, California was dedicated to him and his son, Jerry.[3]
