The History of the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association
In 1819, Walt Whitman, widely recognized as America's greatest poet, was born in a small farmhouse in the rural Long Island community of West Hills in the town of Huntington. Whitman's writings are treasured for capturing the nation's spirit during the nineteenth century and examining some of the era's most significant events including westward expansion, immigration, slavery, and the Civil War.
Despite Whitman's national prominence, during the twentieth century his family's farmhouse in West Hills faced the continual threat of suburban encroachment. In 1949 the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association (WWBA) was established to preserve his birthplace. Poets, authors, professors, businesspeople, and concerned citizens were among its founding members. To help raise awareness and funds to protect the farmhouse and its one-acre site, the WWBA appealed to Alicia Patterson, then owner and publisher of Long Island's newspaper Newsday. Patterson featured Whitman and the plight of his farmhouse on the cover of the newspaper and launched a fundraising campaign that inspired students across Long Island to collect pennies, nickels, and dimes for the cause. After three months and with widespread support, the Association purchased the property. Later, in 1957, the WWBA was successful in its petition to Governor W. Averell Harriman to designate the birthplace a New York State Historic Site. In 1985, the property was listed on the New York State and National Registers of Historic Places. Today, the site is operated by the WWBA in partnership with the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP).
Up until 1986 the WWBA managed the site on a small scale with limited visitation and public programming. That year Barbara Mazor Bart, the WWBA's new executive director, convinced the Association's board to promote the site as a center of learning and to make it more accessible to the public. The site's educational programs were inaugurated in 1987. Since then attendance has risen from 1,000 to more than 16,500 annually. Almost one-third of the site's visitors are students in grades 3-12. Among its various offerings, one of the site's most successful initiatives is the annual student poetry contest, which receives 5,000 entries each year. The contest culminates at the Walt Whitman Birthday Celebration which is held on the weekend closest to the poet's May 31 birthday.
Each year the WWBA's Board of Trustees selects a nationally recognized poet to be its Poet-in-Residence. From public readings of his or her own poetry to teaching master writing classes, these guest poets are helping to instruct and inspire the next generation of writers. The WWBA also holds monthly poetry readings, including a marathon reading of Whitman's masterwork "Leaves of Grass." The Association also collaborates with the Long Island Poetry Collective on expanding regional writing opportunities. The WWBA maintains a 600 volume library at the site that focuses on the poetry and life of Walt Whitman and includes an original edition of Leaves of Grass.
In the 1990s to help accommodate the site's increased visitation and expanding programs, the Association in partnership with OPRHP, planned an Interpretive Center at the site. Through the auspices of the 5th Senate District, Senator Ralph J. Marino introduced a member item in the state budget to fund the construction project. The center opened in 1997 and provides much needed space for a classroom, library, offices, a gift shop, and collections storage as well as providing handicapped accessible bathrooms. With the relocation of site operations and exhibits to the new center, the WWBA was able to focus its attention of restoring and refurnishing the farmhouse. Through the initiative of WWBA and the leadership of OPRHP Commissioner Bernadette Castro, a comprehensive restoration of the birthplace was undertaken for the first time in forty-three years. With technical assistance provided by the Long Island State Park Region and the Peebles Island Resource Center (PIRC), the house's exterior was re-sheathed with smooth-finished, face-nailed cedar shingles, based on a surviving original shingle, and its nineteenth-century porch and shutters were reconstructed based on a 1890 photograph. The restoration was completed in 2000.
In addition, PIRC staff developed a new furnishing plan for the house in collaboration with WWBA Curator Richard Ryan. The plan reflects the agrarian lifestyle of the Whitman family between 1816 and 1823. Almost half of the site's collection (about 200 objects) is on display in the house. In 2005, the Barn was renovated and its original wood was used as floorboards for the new structure, named The Gathering Place. This structure was dedicated in November of 2005. It is utilized as an environmental education classroom, exhibit space, and as an area for small meetings. The second floor is being used for storage.
Over the past decade the Association's outreach efforts have been particularly effective in attracting national and international media attention. The site was featured in the December 1994 issue of National Geographic magazine, and its restoration was highlighted on a July 4, 2000 national television special hosted by Bob Vila. The birthplace has been a frequent subject on CSPAN, and also in The New York Times and Newsday which highlighted the poet and his birthplace in its publication, Long Island: Our Story. More recently, the site has been designated an "Official Project" under the national Save America's Treasures program helping to further recognize the property's significance as well as offer fundraising opportunities.
In 2007, Cynthia Shor was selected by the Board of Trustees as the new Executive Director. She initiated the first Walt Whitman Family Reunion on 2008 with the intention of locating descendants, making an Oral History video documentary of family members, and mounting an exhibit of family artifacts relating to Walt Whitman. Thanks to the commitment, hard work, and enthusiasm of the WWBA, the encouragement and support of New York State Senator Carl L. Marcellino, as well as a flourishing partnership with OPRHP, the preservation and interpretation of the birthplace are helping visitors, writers, scholars, and especially children better understand and appreciate the life and work of Walt Whitman.

Religion had been forced to share its traditional authority with science, and American thought had been greatly secularized. Evolution had made its way into the churches themselves, and there remained not a single figure of outstanding proportions in Protestant theology who still ventured to dispute it. But evolution had been translated into divine purpose, and in the hands of skillful preachers religion was livened and refreshed by the infusion of an authoritative idea from the field of science. The ranks of the old foes soon could hardly be distinguished as they merged in common hostility to pessimism or skepticism about the promise of American life. The specter of atheism was no longer a menace, and surveys of the colleges where one would most expect to discover infidelity revealed how little there was. With little exaggeration a minister could say that American infidelity had not produced "a single champion of cosmopolitan or even of national reputation.""The spirit," explained Phillips Brooks, "that cries 'Credo quia impossibile,' the heroic spirit of faith, is too deep in human nature for any one century to eradicate it." For was it not true, as Beecher told his Plymouth Church congregation, that "the moral structure of the human mind is such that it must have religion"? He continued:
It must have superstition, or it must have intelligent religion. It is just as necessary to men as reason is, as imagination is, as hope and desire are. Religious yearning is part and parcel of the human composition. And when you have taken down any theologic structure--if you should take down the Roman Church and scatter its materials; if then one by one you should dissect all Protestant theologies and scatter them--man would still be a religious animal, would need and be obliged to go about and construct some religious system for himself.
To these sentiments of its leading di vine, the Gilded Age gave unanimous consent.
Henry Ward Beecher:
"All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made."-- John i:3.
THAT the whole world and the universe were the creation of God is the testimony of the whole Bible, both Jewish and Christian; but how he made them-whether by the direct force of a creative will or indirectly through a long series of gradual changes-the Scriptures do not declare. The grand truth is that this world was not a chance, a creative fermentation, a self-development, but that it was the product of an Intelligent Being, that the divine will in the continuance of this world manifests itself under the form of what are called natural laws, and that the operations of normal and legitimate laws are the results of divine will.
There are two records of God's creative energy. One is the record of the unfolding of man and of the race under the inspiration of God's nature: this is a mere sketch; of the ancient periods of man there is almost nothing known. The other of these records or revelations--if you choose to call them so--pertains to the physical globe, and reveals the divine

Money alone is absolutely good, because it is not only a concrete satisfaction of one need in particular; it is an abstract satisfaction of all.

A man who has no mental needs, because his intellect is of the narrow and normal amount, is, in the strict sense of the word, what is called a philistine.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

John Calipari's squad posted a 3.11 cumulative GPA. Calipari's squad has tallied a 3.0 GPA or better in six of the last seven semesters.
Three Wildcats, Tod Lanter, Sam Malone and Jarrod Polson, were named to the NABC Honors Court on Monday. Malone was the recipient of the Elite 89 award at the 2014 Final Four, which honors the student athlete with the highest cumulative GPA participating in the Final Four.
Nine Wildcats were tabbed to various Southeastern Conference Honor Rolls this season. Dominique Hawkins, Dakari Johnson, Lanter, Marcus Lee, Brian Long, Malone, Polson, Alex Poythress and Derek Willis were all honored by the SEC.
Since Calipari's arrival, all nine players who have exhausted their athletic eligibility have graduated from UK including: Twany Beckham, Josh Harrellson, Ramon Harris, Jon Hood, Mark Krebs, Darius Miller, Polson, Perry Stevenson and Eloy Vargas. Furthermore, Patrick Patterson and Polson completed their degrees in just three years.Kentucky was one of three teams from the SEC to earn recognition by the NABC for academic excellence, while a mere eight BCS-level institutions earned the honor.

I believe this was the point Michael Smith was at several months ago, with testing handcoated sheets of the Lodima paper. However, he is now way past that from what I hear, and already having samples of the real paper coated. You can make reference to his most recent posts for the current status of the paper.
I think this is truly fantastic that PE created this emultion to coat paper with, but everyone still has to continue to support Michael and Paula for creating the real replacement for AZO still.

Proposed Method for Isolation of Escherichia Coli 0157:H7 from Environmental Samples
Boening, Dean W., Tarr, Phillip I., Journal of Environmental Health
Multiple cases of hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) have been linked to the pathogen Escherichia coli, serogroup 0157:H7, present in meat and poultry products (1,2), raw milk, and community water supplies (3). Foods of bovine origin, especially ground beef, are the most frequently incriminated vehicles of infection. Additionally, there have been two waterborne outbreaks of infection induced by E. coli 0157:H7. The first, in Cabool, Missouri, was associated with the breakdown and associated repairs of an unchlorinated and aging sewerage and water distribution system (4). The second occurred in Portland, Oregon, during the summer of 1991, where a large number of visitors to a public swimming facility were stricken with E. coli 0157:H7, independent of food consumption (5). In a recent study performed in rural areas surrounding Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, abundant wildlife populations were linked to a reservoir contaminated with E. coli 0157:H7 (6). To date, the literature has concentrated on isolation of the organism from food or fecal matrices. Research focusing on the isolation of E. coil 0157:H7 in a water or soil environment, and the persistence in these milieu, is wanting. Coliform bacteria are commonly found in fide water, harbors, and bays, which are often badly polluted. Although E. coli and other lactose-fermenting bacteria do not constitute part of the normal intestinal flora of marine fish, if ingested, such facultative bacteria may survive for considerable periods of time (7). The potential for exposure to the E. coli 0157:H7 serogroup in a marine milieu (i.e. consumption of contaminated fish or shellfish, incidental ingestion of contaminated water through recreational usage of a harbor or bay) may be significant. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of a procedure, adapted in part from Doyle and Schoeni (1), for detecting E. coli 0157:H7 in a spiked environmental sample. As the procedure is applied to other matrices, it is anticipated that this methodology may be useful for determining presence and survivability of E. coli 0157:H7 in unspiked receiving waters and soils.
Methods and Materials
Using a sterile glass jar and sampling spoons, approximately 1.5 kg of slurry was collected from a bay shore at high tide. Sample pH was 7.5, and salinity was calculated at 3.1% (7). The sample was secured just below the water surface, then divided into three 400 g groups. The first subsample ("high" group) was inoculated and mixed with 4.0 ml of an 18-hour pure culture of 0157:H7 in Trypticase soy broth (TSB)([10.sup.-2] dilution). Culture incubation temperature was 35 [degrees] C. The second subsample ("low" group) was prepared by adding 1 drop (50 microliters) of the same 18-hour culture to a 99 ml phosphate-buffered saline blank and shaken. A 0.1 ml aliquot was then transferred to another 99 ml dilution blank and shaken. A further 0.1 ml aliquot of this dilution was then added to the slurry and homogenized ([10.sup.-8] dilution). The third (unspiked) subsample was utilized as a negative control. Subsamples were cooled immediately to 4 [degrees] C and stored in the dark until tested for E. coli 0157:H7 on day 3 and day 20.
After 3 days and then 20 days of refrigeration, ten-fold serial dilutions of each sample were prepared to a [10.sup.-10] dilution. From each dilution, a 0.1 ml sample was pipetted (in duplicate) to MacConkey (BBL Microbiology Systems, Cockeysville, Md.) and MacConkey-sorbitol (Difco Laboratories, Detroit, Mich.) agar plates. Each aliquot was spread-plated until dry on the agar surface. Plates were inverted and incubated aerobically for 18-24 hours at 35 [degrees] C. The dilution range of interest produced between 50-100 well-isolated CFUs per plate. Colonies which were considered to be presumptive E. coli 0157:H7 were pink-red on MacConkey agar and clear on MacConkey-sorbitol media.
Modified vancomycin Trypticase soy broth (mvTSB) was prepared and dispensed in 96 well microtiter plates. …

Top it off with some huge oversized sunnies and you have us all wondering: where were you last night Ashley?

I've got an array with objects:
var articles = [];
var article = {};
Simple loop that iterates x times {
article.text = "foobar";
article.color = "red";
article.number = 5;
I have no idea how many objects there will be in my array but they will all have different values for their properties, I just gave some examples here.
I need to find a way to go through all these objects and retrieve the index of the object that has the highest value in article.number. How can I achieve this? I may only use javascript, jQuery, etc.. no other languages.
I'm guessing this will involve using both $.grep and Math.max but I'm stuck, I've never worked with $.grep before.
In short:
var highestNumber = index of object where article.number is highest

Health officials in Lexington say an outbreak of a stomach ailment has spread from a youth basketball tournament.
More than 50 teams from around the state took part in the event last weekend at the Kentucky Basketball Academy. The Fayette County Health Department has received dozens of reports of people who developed nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The only commonality was that they attended the tournament.
Jessica Noto, who heads the department's communicable disease team, said the symptoms are usually mild and last for 24 to 48 hours.
Noto said there is no evidence of food contamination and the spread of the ailment probably came after someone already infected came to the tournament where several hundred people were in the gym throughout the day.

Why, you don't doubt your ability to win the affections of a husky belle, do you?
Steel your heart against the seductive charms of these husky belles!
But not until evening did he casually suggest to the husky that he had more dogs than he could feed through the summer.
husky's hands holding the cards shook, and his face changed colour.
We bade a hasty farewell to the husky belles, and handed them into their barge.
"Maybe it was a beast or a bird—some kind of an owl," suggested husky shakily.
Now have husky there run me in a line with ship's power and I'll get this stuff set up.
Black Shand became as pale as paper, while husky's face turned purple.
So far as we could find out, the husky's connection with cribbage ceased with his making these edition de luxe boards.
Shand was at his left hand; husky faced him; Jack was at his right.
"hoarse," c.1722 in reference to a cattle disease (of persons, 1740), from husk on the notion of "dry as a husk." Earlier (1550s) "having husks." Sense of "tough and strong" (like corn husks) is first found 1869, American English. Related: Huskily; huskiness.
"Eskimo dog," 1852, Canadian English, earlier (1830) hoskey "an Eskimo," probably shortened variant of Ehuskemay (1743), itself a variant of Eskimo.
The moment any vessel is noticed steering for these islands [Whalefish Islands], the Esquimaux, or "Huskies,"* as the Danes customarily term them, come off in sufficient numbers to satisfy you that you are near the haunts of uncivilized men, and will afford sufficient information to guide any stranger to his anchorage. *"Husky" is their own term. I recollect the chorus to a song at Kamtchatka was "Husky, Husky." ["Last of the Arctic Voyages," London, 1855]

Is an advanced degree hazardous to your...marriage?
Laurie Ruettimann called attention to a recent Wall Street Journal/CareerJournal.com article that reported on a study finding that women with advanced degrees were more likely to get divorced then men with comparable educational levels. The rates are highest among MBA's, but doctors and lawyers were equally susceptible. The study also noted that female professionals were two to three more times more likely than males to be unmarried and not have families.
It's another one of those things that makes me wonder what year/decade/century we're living in. Weren't things supposed to have changed by now?
In her own response to the report, Heather Mundell made a point of something I've been known to say myself on the subject of "having it all" - "(D)ecide what you really, really want, because you may not be getting it all, not all at one time anyway."
It's an interesting finding, even without digging too deeply into the sociological implications. One question it raises for me is how the educational and earnings levels of the divorced women surveyed compared to those of their (ex-)partners - higher, lower, or in the same range? If they were mostly higher, that makes me wonder about some other recent reports about men's comfort level with women out-earning them - and about women's comfort level with doing it. It's still relatively new, and a shift in the established order. On the other hand, the unmarried, childless "career woman" is a fairly well-established figure, sad to say.
I really wonder how big a role a significant disparity in education and income plays in this. I haven't ever been the more-educated, higher-earning partner in a relationship, but I know that the degree-level difference between my first husband and me (he's a Ph.D., now a Ph.D./M.D., and I stopped with a B.S.) was a source of insecurity for me. That evolved over time, though, since we'd met in high school and were peers for our first few years together; I didn't really feel uneasy about it until he completed grad school, and then it became an ongoing struggle. That sort of insecurity can definitely strain a relationship, especially considering that it may well be one-sided; the more-educated, higher-earning partner may not even see a problem.
Then again, the more-educated, higher-earning partner may feel stress and resentment at carrying more of the financial-support responsibility. The couples who have agreed for one partner to "opt out" career-wise to stay at home with young children are another twist on this situation.
My experience in my first marriage makes me feel that one factor in a couple's compatibility is comparable educational and income levels - at least, it's a fairly significant one for me, and we do have it in my second marriage. As far as this study goes, I really hope there's more to it than what's been reported, because these conclusions strike me as fairly simplistic and just a bit sad. What do you think?

My wife and I have the same level of education, but she does earn more than I do. It's not a problem for me. Or her, for that matter. It might be different if she was a doctor or some other higher level degree and earned triple what I do. It's hard to say. I think a lot of men would not be so secure about it. I'm not saying I'm special l, but I know a lot of guys I work with would not like it.ReplyDelete
Mike - My husband has told me that he would have no problem at all if I made more money than he does, and I believe him. Then again, what he's really like is a winning lottery ticket, so neither of us would be concerned about how much money we earned. :-)ReplyDelete
But you're quite right that a lot of guys wouldn't be nearly as secure with that as you and Tall Paul are.
I have all sorts of ideas about this! Studies like this have been going around for a long time. Back when I was getting divorced, I bitterly decided that the more educated a woman was the more likely it was that she was smart enough not to be with some crappy man. I stopped thinking all men were crappy about 2 minutes after getting divorced; I think this phenomenon of thinking all men are one way or all women are another way comes from people not wanting to feel like they're the only one with relationship/communication problems. So they say men are from mars etc. Anyway. Back to my point. At the time, I mentioned reading about one of these studies to my divorce lawyer, just trying to make conversation, and he got extremely defensive and reminded me that HIS wife had a master's degree. Ha ha. Anyway, I'm married again, and I now have a higher degree than my husband, though he'll end up with a higher degree than I have, I think. And we're quite happy, some say disgustingly so. So I think that the real reason women are more likely to divorce if they have a higher degree or income is that they can afford to leave if they're unhappy. It's not that more of them are unhappy, as I once thought. Just, the poorer ones with fewer career choices, well, they don't have as many options.ReplyDelete
Dewey - I actually like your observation, bitter or not, about an educated woman knowing she was smart enough not to be with "some crappy man." But I think that your point about more education/income providing more options for women, including the ability to leave an unhappy relationship and support themselves, is probably very much on target.ReplyDelete
In my current relationship, I'm definitely the "more educated." Lee didn't do college at all ... he was raising his children while I was sitting in lit classes and learning how to drink beer : ). And there is a difference in our incomes. The only time I think this bothers him is when we end up with a group of my friends from college ... most of my old crew went much further than me in terms of what they earn and sometimes I think that's a bit overwhelming to him. One on one, it really doesn't effect us at all. I remind him that there are a million things I can't do that he does easily, regardless of my years in school, and that in general his common sense, mechanical aptitude and street smarts way outweigh mine. We see it as strengthening each other through our differences rather than one person having or being more than the other.ReplyDelete
And I too think that the higher divorce rates among more educated women have as much to do with their circumstances as they do with insecurity. A woman with her own high earning potential and career often has more of an identity that isn't associated with her roles of wife, mother, family member. She's confident that she can make it on her own, whereas those in other situations may not perceive themselves that way even if they could. So she puts up with less crap. In some cases, this means she gets away from a no-win situation as she should, where another woman may stick it out and suffer. In other situations, it probably means the couple gives up too easily, and walks away from a relationship that could have been saved with better understanding and communication.
Pam - Your point about "sometimes the couple gives up too easily" hit home with me, since I think in some respects it applies to my first marriage; at least, I'm pretty sure there are people we know who perceive our breakup that way. But since we also had the complication of infidelity involved, it's not so cut and dried. In any case, my ability to support myself wasn't a limiting factor one way or another.ReplyDelete
You're also on target about a college education vs. the college "experience" (learning how to drink beer, etc. :-D), and the fact that intelligence comes in various forms.
Pam's response reminded me that I grew up in a household where my mother was more educated and earned more money than my father--at least once she went back to work. Before that time, she was a stay at home mother (who still had a higher education in terms of college--just didn't have an income). My dad was much more experienced in life though--he was a career military man and only went to back for his AA degree after retiring from the service. My dad always felt less than in comparison to my mother when I was in my teen years, after my mom went back to work. He didn't fit in with her school teacher friends and to this day he puts himself down regularly--his wife and children are all smarter than he is, more educated. That isn't true--us being smarter. No amount of reassurances has ever made a dent in his insecurities.ReplyDelete
Technically, I am more highly educated than my husband--although the difference is so minor. I have a master's degree and he has a bachelor's, having dropped out 3/4 of his way through graduate school on his way to getting a master's degree. So really, we're about equal in that regard, despite what our diplomas say. I do make quite a bit more money than my husband does, however. Always have. It doesn't bother us though. We are equals in all ways in our hearts and minds--except maybe when it comes to the housework. LOL
Literary Feline - Tall Paul likes to say he got the "8-year art degree." He has a BFA, but he took practically every art course the college offered, so it took him awhile to finish :-). If I didn't work in nonprofit, we'd probably make about the same money or I would out-earn him - and neither of us would be bothered by that.ReplyDelete
Now it's YOUR turn - speak your piece, please! Or just let me know you were here; I always like that. But you'll have to leave a name - I've disallowed anonymous comments due to some recent spam problems. Thanks!

I've played on and off with stereo for years, and have owned most of the cameras mentioned....
The Stereo Realist is a quirky camera to use, but once you get the hang of them they produce excellent results. For the price I would also recommend talking with George (DR T) on ebay - I would recommend his books on 3D as well (no matter which camera you get) - they are well written, and provide lots of info on how to use the cameras and present 3D photos.
On the subject of presentation I actually scan my negs/trasperancies, and create blue/red anaglyphs which you can view with "3D" glasses - great for sending to peope - plus you can easily post them on line for people to see in 3D..the software was a free download from the web - if you want to know more PM me..
But I digress. Kodak stereo's cameras are also excellent - if you get one that has a good working shutter then you will love it - sharp results, easy to use, proper wind and rewind knobs with levers (rewinding a stereo realist is not fun..). They may only have 4 shutter speeds, but they do have a spiriti level in the viewfinder to help you keep things level..
Sputnik - I love my Sputnik - even though you really need to go over them first before using them: replace the original Russian tractor grease in the focussing helicoids with something that actually lets the lenses focus, recalibrate the focus on the lenses, paint the inside of the camera mat black (or stick some sort of flocking in). The small focussing spot (the small groundglass bit on the middle of the viewfinder) can be difficult to see, but it is accurate...shutter speeds are limited...but you do get 6 big stereo images per roll.....and you can customise them to no end - replace the focus screen, mount a prism, and you have a camera almost as good as the new Chinese 120 TLR (triple lens) stereo camera you can get from Dr T for $1600 (or is it more now??)
Revere - again a nice camera - full range of shutter speeds, but the viewfinder is tiny andn very hard to see through.....but then again you do get a coupled range/viewfinder - great for action shots..
If you just want to try a bit of stereo first to see if you enjoy it get a Argus 3D/Loreo 3D camera - it's a compact 35mm with a built in beam splitter that takes 2 side by side photos on standard 35mm print film - when you get the photos back you just pop them in the included viewer and look at them in glorious 3D...
As people have suggested you will need slow film for shooting stereo - I use Velvia 50 in 35mm and Agfa APX 100 in 120...(and 400 ISO print in the Loreo)
Any stereo slide viewer will do - I have a brumberg, a realist, a Graflex plus a copuple of others - all light up and seem to work well, although the ones where you can adjust the seperation between the eyepieces are easier for some people to use..
What I would suggest is when you are starting out get some easy load slide mounts - the kind you slide the film chips into through slots cut out in them - the advantage of these is you can move the chips around to get correct alignment for the best 3D affect...once you get the hang of film mounting you can change over to RBT mounts, or the cheaper fold over mounts that Dr T has (these are the ones I use).
Also get a film cutter - cutting your slides with square edges makes mounting much easier....
I don't know where you are, but there may be a local 3D club who can help you - it's surprising how many there are around the world..and they love to talk 3D with anyone who'll listen....and no - I'm not one of them!
Have fun!

I always come back to this pineapple salsa. If you haven't tried cooking the fruit in this way, then do – it's super sweet and summery.
Barbecued Pineapple Salsa
1 ripe pineapple, sliced fairly thick
2-3 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 red chilli (de-seed or not, up to you), chopped finely
1 small bunch coriander, chopped, leaves picked
1 small bunch mint, leaves picked and roughly chopped
Juice of 1 lime
1 small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon oil (I used groundnut as it is flavourless and takes high temperatures)
Salt and pepper
– Mix the oil and honey together with a good seasoning of salt and pepper and brush over the pineapple slices. Grill on the barbecue until caramelised and charred.
– Mix all the other ingredients except the herbs in a bowl. When the pineapple is ready, cut the flesh into chunks, discarding the core and mix through the salsa. Season with salt and pepper, stir through the herbs and serve.

this one looks really great hope its as delecious as it looks
I felt the same way as you when trying oysters for the first time. Now I eat them every chance I get!! Beautiful photos.
This looks divine! I'm a fan of grilled fruit too – mango on the bbq is also great with fish and chilli!
Lovely description of the taste of oysters in that last comment, and spot on, too! Your photo of them looks so delish, who needs seaweed? We make pineapple salsas often, but I've never had them with mackerel — will have to try that. Your enthusiasm for the warm weather is very infectious, even to us who only have 'dry' and 'less-dry' for seasons! Happy Spring!
Excellent post Helen! The Mackerel and salsa looks fantastic. I adore oysters, I love eating them at Whitstable Harbour where they're famous!
Embarrassed to say, I still haven't tried oysters. What do they taste like exactly? Can you compare the taste to anything else? What about the texture?
I adore pineapple salsa, not had it with mackerel though – I think I did something similar with salmon and that was good.
Nice photos Helen.
What a colorful meal this is – full of body and full of flavor. Very appealing!!!
This looks totally awesome Helen! I am so mad, I have never been in a place where I could get fresh sardines – but makerel I might be able to find! I would so be making this – I love the pineapple salsa, the bright colors and the oysters! Everything looks amazing!
This looks really awesome. I love grilled mackerel, and the salsa looks really fresh.
This looks great. I like the idea of the pineapple salsa, and combining it with the mackerel is brilliant.
We thought summer had arrived to my corner of the earth, but this weekend was cold and rainy again, just my perfect weather :-p
That meal looks so good that I wish I had a grill and some fish to have it right now. Grilled pineapple is the best!
Oh wow, I am so definitely going to try that pineapple salsa! Always on the lookout for new things to try on the BBQ And I love mackerel too – a very underrated fish.
I love the look of that salsa – currently I can't get enough of pineapple and its a winning combination with chilli. We also had a barbeque at the weekend but due to the mad rush for barbeques there was none left and we had to fashion one out of a shopping trolley. Still, it worked…!
Your excitement at the weather is very obvious Helen. The salsa looks summery, the pineapple perfect and the oysters oblivious (to their fate!). Great post and a great read…can't wait to see that mini garden of yours. Cheers

Crosses mark the 120-mile desert trail from Sonoyta, Mexico, to San Luis, Ariz. Under the crosses are the corpses of wanderers who have died along its arid and terrible wastes. In Mexico it is called "El Camino del Diablo." Last week seven new crosses were put up on the Devil's Highway.
German Cornejo, 52-year-old Mexican farm worker, heard there might be some kind of work for him across the border. He loaded relatives and friends into his truck and from Sonoyta lightheartedly set forth. Nineteen miles from San Luis the truck's wheels sank into the sand, stuck fast.

The police consider the disappearance a sure sign of guilt but Hannah knows better. She sets out to clear her fathers good name but first, shell have to find him!

Who needs synthetic marijuana when you have real depth on your roster?
Such is the case for LSU now that the countdown has officially begun to the Alabama game. The Baton Rouge Tigers beat Auburn's Tigers with, not exactly a skeleton crew, but there was a little less meat on the bone.
Budding superstar cornerback Tyrann Mathieu, backup Tharold Simon and starting tailback Spencer Ware sat out because of reported failed drug tests (reportedly for that synthetic marijuana). The supposition was that LSU had enough talent left over to set up college football's Super Bowl in a couple of weeks. They just had to prove it.
It was a blowout, but it wasn't easy. During a sometimes-dreary first half LSU's faithful actually booed on a couple of occasions. For a while it looked like LSU's season would go, well, up in smoke. Those fans' attitude changed after a pair of matching sideline strikes stretching the halftime lead to 21-3.
Jordan Jefferson (42 yards) and Jarrett Lee (46 yards) threw almost identical bombs to Rueben Randle within four minutes of each other in the second quarter. The game plan following that -- whether stated or unstated -- was to show as little as possible.
You know who's watching.
Two weeks from Saturday the nation's No. 1 team will play a de facto national semifinal in Tuscaloosa. Winner goes to New Orleans for the BCS title. Well, not directly, but the stakes are that high.
Both schools have a bye next week giving the game time to build to a 1 vs. 2 pinnacle. LSU goes in almost with a yawn to this point. For the first time in school history, the Tigers have opened the season with eight double-digit wins. They have trailed for 6 minutes, 33 seconds all season.
Those missing starters were hardly missed. True freshman Kenny Hilliard ran for two touchdowns including the game's opening touchdown on his sixth career carry. Senior Ron Brooks more than compensated for the loss of Mathieu. His 28-yard pick six made it 42-3 in the third quarter.
LSU got satisfaction for last season's 24-17 loss at Auburn. Don't call it revenge because Cam Newton, the difference in a lot of games for Auburn last season, is gone. Let's just call it the No. 1 team in 2011's first BCS rankings beating last season's last No. 1 in the BCS.
Now it's time to bring on Alabama.

The Defense Rests
Barry, John, McKelvey, Tara, Newsweek
Byline: John Barry and Tara McKelvey
As Robert Gates retires from the Pentagon top job, he sounds a grim warning: America is losing its grip.
Aboard the Pentagon jet on his last foreign trip as secretary of defense, Robert Gates takes a moment to peer across the American horizon--and the view is dire: the U.S. is in danger of losing its supremacy on the global stage, he says.
"I've spent my entire adult life with the United States as a superpower, and one that had no compunction about spending what it took to sustain that position," he tells NEWSWEEK, seated in the strategic communications center of the Boeing E-4B. "It didn't have to look over its shoulder because our economy was so strong. This is a different time."
A pause.
"To tell you the truth, that's one of the many reasons it's time for me to retire, because frankly I can't imagine being part of a nation, part of a government -- that's being forced to dramatically scale back our engagement with the rest of the world."
Such a statement--rather astonishing for the leader of the world's preeminent fighting force--may open the administration to charges of not believing in American exceptionalism, an opening the GOP is already trying to exploit. But these days Gates is less worried about political crossfire and more focused on the legacy of his own tenure, which bridged the presidencies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
He is determined to define his own legacy as Pentagon boss, and eager to push back against one of the more vocal criticisms of his tenure: the belief among many liberals and some conservative budget hawks that in a time of deep indebtedness, he hasn't been willing to chop enough of a defense budget bloated by a decade of war.
Don't expect him to apologize. In Gates's mind, it's other political leaders with less experience who are confused.
"Congress is all over the place," Gates says at one point. "And the Republicans are a perfect example. I mean, you've got the budget hawks and then you've got the defense hawks within the same party. And so I think there is no consensus on a role in the world."
In some ways, the first part of his tenure was easier. During the Bush years, money was never an issue. By contrast, Obama faced a harsh economic reality, and Gates tried to get in front of the issue by shrinking the Pentagon budget. But his cuts satisfied neither hawks nor doves nor the White House. This spring, when Obama announced a $400 billion reduction in defense spending, Gates got just 24 hours' notice.
Gates, who'll be succeeded by CIA chief Leon Panetta, wins bipartisan accolades for restoring morale at the Pentagon and, more important, repairing relations with Congress, which had grown distrustful of the Defense Department under Rumsfeld.
Bridging two administrations, Gates gets credit for stabilizing Iraq, though the key decisions that led to success--a surge of troops and the appointment of Gen. David Petraeus to oversee the strategy--predated his arrival.
Petraeus says Gates knew that his real contribution was to buy time in Washington for the strategy to succeed. " 'Your battle space is Iraq. My battle space is Washington,' " Petraeus recalls Gates telling him.
Gates concedes he was sometimes on the wrong side of an issue. For instance, he was gun-shy about using ground troops to kill Osama bin Laden, arguing that Obama should opt for an airstrike instead. Gates hesitated because he feared a repeat of the bungled 1980 attempt to free American hostages in Iran that killed eight U.S. servicemen.
