Donald Byrd
Ambitious, atonal, challenging -- all are accurate descriptions of Dimensions and Extensions, Sam Rivers' fourth album for Blue Note. Rivers remains grounded in hard bop structure, working with a sextet featuring Donald Byrd (trumpet), James Spaulding (alto saxophone, flute), Julian Priester (trombone), Cecil McBee (bass), and Steve Ellington (drums), but he explodes the boundaries of the form with difficult, dissonant compositions. With his unique, mercurial tone and edgy solos, he keeps pushing the sextet in different directions. It's intense, cerebral music, but since it has distinct themes and strong rhythms, the forays into free jazz, dissonant harmonies, and unpredictable tonal textures are actually quite accessible. Rivers simply burns on each track, whether playing tenor, soprano, or flute. Byrd doesn't display the wild imagination of Rivers, yet he keeps the pace with alternately languid and biting solos. Similarly, each of the remaining musicians makes a lasting impression with his individual time in the spotlight. With music as risky at this, it's forgivable that it occasionally meanders (especially on the slower numbers) but, overall, Dimensions and Extensions offers more proof that Sam Rivers was one of the early giants of the avant-garde. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

April 9, 2015, Saitama, Japan - Tamron Co., Ltd. (President & CEO: Morio Ono), a leading manufacturer of precision optics, has announced that the company's first high-power zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras, the 14-150mm F/3.5-5.8 Di III (Model C001), has been named BEST CSC ENTRY LEVEL LENS at the TIPA AWARDS 2015.
No, we're not talking here about player formations in football or a rather adventurous type of relationship! The golden triangle is instead a classical rule of composition used in paintings and photography. This timeless rule states that to create a harmonious image, the main subject should describe the shape of a triangle. The reason: This kind of arrangement exudes peace while the symmetry conveys clarity and harmony.
Tobias Kuhl is currently writing his doctor's thesis at the University of Bonn. Whenever his head gets overloaded with thoughts about specialist literature, he heads out into the countryside with his camera and the Tamron 150-600mm super-telephoto lens. In the Tamron blog, he gives tips about how he manages to create his impressive wildlife photographs …
Jörg Mayer and Nadine Horn run the blog "eat this!" together – combining vegan cookery with creative photography. Before enjoying their culinary creations, the pair first take pictures of them using a Tamron lens. Just a short time later, their fans can then read online how the recipe was put together. As graphic designers, Jörg and Nadine both know what makes a great food photo. In our interview they reveal the secrets of how they carry out their work and give some tips on how best to take photographs of food you have prepared yourself – while still being able to enjoy it straight afterwards while its still hot.
Christoph Oberschneider captures thrilling action shots set against majestic mountain scenery. He was also accompanied on his sporty jaunts through the Salzburger Land region by the new, high speed, 15-30 mm ultra-wide-angle zoom lens from Tamron.

If you had a bunch of purported 2012 iPhone 5 parts lying around, wouldn't you want to slap them together and line them up, Usual Suspects style, beside a 2011 iPhone 4S (with color modifications) and a 2009 iPhone 3GS? That way you could see who was the tallest, who was the thinnest, and who absolutely had the most metal on its back plate. Well, that's exactly what the folks at iColorOS have done.
If these parts are accurate, there are no huge surprises here. The iPhone 5 shows off its 4-inch, 16:9, 1136x640 screen and the extra casing height to support it. It also shows off it's slightly svelter profile, its new armor plating on the back, and its newly centered FaceTime camera. Other than that, it's just parts porn at the moment. That's not to say it isn't good parts porn, but if you want a lasting relationship with an iPhone 5, you'll still have to wait for an introduction on September 12, and then pick one up on September 21.

DeShields becoming more versatile in Arizona
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- If Astros prospect Delino DeShields Jr. has learned anything during his three-plus years in Houston's system, it's patience.
"As long as I go out there and play hard every day," DeShields says, "then I'll be where I'm supposed to be."
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- If Astros prospect Delino DeShields Jr. has learned anything during his three-plus years in Houston's system, it's patience.
"As long as I go out there and play hard every day," DeShields says, "then I'll be where I'm supposed to be."
Where DeShields is now is in the Arizona Fall League, where he's spent the last few weeks getting himself re-acclimated with center field -- the position he played in high school -- after spending the last three seasons at second base.
Where DeShields hopes to be in the near future is knocking at the door of a Major League roster spot. He has the tools, highlighted by his streak-of-lightning speed, to perhaps be an impact player at some point down the road, but he's yet to play above Class A.
"I'm going to keep grinding it out and playing my butt off and opening some eyes, and the ultimate goal is to get to the big leagues," he said. "Might be next year or the year after that, but you just go out there and play hard and you never know what can happen."
Next year figures to be an important one for DeShields, who will likely make the jump to Double-A Corpus Christi while finding himself back in center. The transition to the outfield this fall hasn't been difficult for DeShields, who's bursting with athleticism.
"His routes are getting batter and his setup is better," said Astros manager Bo Porter, who was in Arizona last week. "That's one of the things we've been stressing to him -- if you make the transition, it's about the first step, and the way you work on that is making sure your setup is good. If you keep your body in motion, you're going to get the best jump you can get. No doubt, he has the closing speed. So if we can get him to understand the importance of the first step and getting a good jump, he can be an above-average defender."
The Astros decided to move DeShields back to the outfield after locking up big league second baseman Jose Altuve to a contract extension in July. DeShields admits he was a little shaky in the outfield at first, but he soon grew comfortable.
"It's just being where I'm supposed to be, getting lined up right," he said. "That kind of took me a minute, considering I hadn't been out there in four years. So far, it's gone really well and I've gotten better every day. I make sure I go out there in batting practice and shag and see some live balls off the bat and get good jumps. This is a learning process."
DeShields, 21, is polite and thoughtful. He was candid about his time at second base, saying he sometimes wishes he would have just stayed in the outfield, which was his natural position. But he knows the ability to play second base could give him more options down the road.
"My first year [playing second base in 2011] it was all about my defense, and I didn't really hit the way I wanted to," he said. "I guess it kind of set me back, because I had to repeat [Class A Lexington] and do that all over again. I don't take it for granted, though. I'm glad I did learn another position. It took me a minute to get really adjusted to it. It's just extra bullets in my pocket that I can use later if I need it. That's not all bad. There's a lot of positives that have come from it."
After hitting .220 in Lexington in his first full season of pro ball in 2011, DeShields returned to the South Atlantic League in 2012 and was spectacular. He hit .298 with 96 runs, 10 homers, 52 RBIs and had 83 stolen bases in 111 games, finishing with 101 steals after swiping 18 more bags at Class A Lancaster.
DeShields, whose father -- Delino DeShields Sr. -- hit .268 and stole 463 bases over a 13-year big league career with the Expos, Dodgers, Cardinals, Orioles and Cubs -- backed that up with another solid season this year, hitting .317 with five homers, 54 RBIs and 51 stolen bases in 111 games. He batted .359 (75-for-209) in the second half of the season.
"I got drafted because I could hit and I could run and I could use all my tools offensively, and after that bad year I had my first year, I finally got to show people that I use all my tools -- hit, hit home runs, hit balls in gaps, steal bases -- and this year, I hit really well," he said. "I didn't get 100 stolen bases as everybody probably expected. I'm going to keep improving on that part of my game, also.
"That's the type of guy I am. I hit. Now they're moving me back to the outfield, it gives me less stress. On the infield, you have a lot of responsibilities, a lot of stuff to worry about. Now really all I've got to do is go out there here and catch the ball and make good, accurate throws, and it makes my life a little easier."
The Arizona Fall League will come to an end next week, and the grind will continue for DeShields.
"I'm thinking about going to Puerto Rico and playing until January, and then having a month off," he said. "That's more than enough time to get my body well rested for Spring Training."

Time flies when you're having fun. And when you're working a lot. If flies extra fast if you're doing both! We haven't posted in a while so I wanted to do a quick update.
Nancy has just been in Ireland speaking at the Ennis Book Festival (see the link in her speaking list, left side of page). What a lucky lass! And that was shortly after she presented in Florida. I wonder how many frequent flyer miles she has now?
Last week, I (Kathy) was in New York City consulting with a group from some very specialized German libraries, which was really interesting. I've also been working my talks for the Computers in Libraries conference in DC later this month. And, just as March is ending, I'll be headed for the Netherlands where I'll be presenting at a seminar on authors, publishers, printers, libraries, and books.
We'll both be adding up more miles as the year rolls on, and we'd love to see our readers while we're out and about. You can always see lists of our upcoming events if you scroll down the left-hand side of the page.
Finally, I wanted to mention a new Facebook page that I've started for my marketing business, which is named Libraries Are Essential. Anyone interested in promoting libraries can follow me over at www.Facebook.com/LibrariesAreEssential. Five or six days a week, I post tips about marketing, links to articles or studies you can use, pictures, and good examples of library promotion. It's a great way for me to share things quickly when I don't have time to write a full blog post, and it's fun! Check it out, comment, interact with others, and let me know what you think of it all. I hope to see you there!

Human conflict, violence, and war still exist, but for the most part, human society has long ago moved past, big man with big stick takes your meat. We have created police to protect the formalized rights granted our citizens, and given police the power to carry out the mission of protecting those rights. We do not tolerate a big bully with a club enforcing their will on others, that is anti-democratic. Yet in conversations about cycling, one of several echoing refrains that comes up time and time again, is cars are bigger, so they win, cyclists and pedestrians lose, so get out of the way. We don't tell kids that are smaller or weaker, don't go to school because you might get hurt by the bigger kids. Why do we tolerate this line of thinking on the road?
Here is a quote from the LA Times comment board, from the recent story circulating of the 81 year old driver that failed to yield while making a left turn and plowed into a group of cyclists, resulting in serious injuries and a helicopter emergency airlift for 3 of the 4 riders involved. I picked the comment below out because it typifies anti-cycling or mode bias sentiment. Like most of these sorts of comments, it follows a pattern, and could easily be interchanged with comments from a hundred different news stories on bicycling.
"Whose to blame? Sounds like the driver didn't give the cyclists the right of way or just flat out didn't see them. Hope they heal, but I hope this doesn't fuel the 'renegade' cyclists seeking equality on the road, but rather shows that they aren't safe and need to realize that the big dog is always gonna beat the little dog no matter how much barking the little one does."This wasn't the only comment like this, and some were far more blunt in saying bikes shouldn't be allowed on public roads for their own safety. Do we want a civilization that gives free reign to motorists to be bullies? Some citizens have guns, many do not. Do we tell the citizens that don't, hey don't go outside, you aren't as well armed? Besides what should be apparent and serious ethical flaws with such line of thinking, it does not hold up when you apply it to attitudes toward other vehicles of various sizes.
No one questions the fact that a 16 wheel semi-truck will smash a car to bits in a collision, but we don't hear these same motorists call to remove cars from truck traffic. Cars drivers are allowed to drive on the same roads as buses and cross intersections with trains. Collisions between a car and the much bigger train, truck or bus are all instances where a car, in spite of all it's whizbang crumple zones and fluffy air bags, is simply no match. What about cars of different sizes, should we ban smart cars from sharing the road with SUV's. Like most comments by bike haters, they only want to apply their logic in a way convenient to their own interest. They think cyclists don't belong, so they only apply their line of thinking toward cycling.
If you really follow down this path of logic, only large trucks should be allowed to use the roads and highways. They are after all the biggest dogs on the road. I'm sure truck drivers would love that, maybe they could deliver on time without all the inefficient cars in their way. Since I think most people would object to only trucks being allowed on the street, we have to figure out a way to coexist, and make our streets work and serve all users, efficiently and safely.
As a society, America has viewed a ballpark rate of 40,000 annual traffic fatalities as reasonably acceptable collateral damage in getting from A to B. That has to change. It's much more than a cycling issue, most of those killed are not cyclists, they are drivers and their passengers. For all the safety features of the modern automobile, in America we still lose on our roads the equivalent of about 6 jumbo jets loaded with passengers crashing every month. Most of them people who were inside a car. Could you imagine the uproar if passenger planes started falling out of the sky at that rate?
Planes have a lot of safety specific features, like modern cars do, but there is no replacement for a good pilot. We need safer drivers on our roads. Drivers who are well educated, responsible, and are not intoxicated, intexticated, or falling asleep at the wheel. Drivers who still have the mental capacity to handle the demands of turning left (one study found each additional year of age after 65 increases the odds of getting into a crash involving turning left by 8 percent).
We need to put life before license.
So no, we will not back down and let the bully win. If fighting for the rights of cyclists makes me a renegade, so be it. This little dog will keep on barking.

Poll Results Show What Make of Vehicle Abilene Drives the Most [GALLERY]
As CarWalk came and went this past week, and a couple other small car gatherings took place over the weekend. In a recent blog I posted, I asked the one question, 'Are You a Chevy, Dodge or Ford Person?' Many car enthusiasts participated in the poll, while the over all winner did not surprise me, the runner up did.
I was almost certain Chevy would win but I expected Ford to come in a real close second. That was not the case. Chevy is tops at 55%, surprisingly Dodge got 22% and Ford got just over 16%. What has happened? Have our likes changed over time? Is Ford declining? Is Dodge gaining in popularity? Or is it that Dodge has always been second banana only now Mopar/Dodge fans are coming out of the closet? What ever the case may be here's how it revs up. Check out the complete poll results here.

September 12, 2012
In the early 1990s, the research group of Frank Plummer at the University of Manitoba drew considerable attention -- and some controversy -- when they reported that, among a large cohort of female sex workers in Nairobi, a subset showed evidence of resistance to HIV infection. The evidence emerged over the course of a long-term study that found that women starting sex work faced a very high risk of seroconverting in the first two years. However, for a subset of women who remained HIV-negative, the risk of becoming infected subsequently declined significantly over time, which Plummer and colleagues interpreted as evidence of resistance to acquisition. Despite initial skepticism, the findings prompted efforts to identify individuals with possible resistance to HIV in other settings, such as among serodiscordant couples (in which one partner is HIV-positive and the other HIV-negative). There is now a substantial amount of literature on the topic, as well as ongoing workshops and research collaborations, but one of the challenges in the field is that there are no widely accepted criteria for defining high exposure to HIV (an important part of assessing whether an individual may be resistant as opposed to simply unexposed).
In a new paper in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, Romel Mackelprang and colleagues from the Partners in Prevention HSV/HIV Transmission Study describe a method for quantifying HIV exposure among serodiscordant couples, with the goal of enhancing efforts to identify individuals with potential resistance to infection. The study draws on data from a trial involving 3,408 serodiscordant heterosexual African couples. Risk factors that were associated with HIV transmission -- such as unprotected sex, viral load in the HIV-positive partner, and genital ulcer disease -- were used to create "exposure scores" for the study participants. Unsurprisingly, high exposure was associated with a 6.9-fold increased risk of infection compared to low exposure. But these scores also identified a subset of 475 individuals with persistently high exposure who remained seronegative. Echoing Frank Plummer's findings, the risk of HIV infection appeared to decline over the time in the high exposure group, while remaining constant among participants with lower exposure.
To further validate these findings, the researchers applied a simplified version of the exposure-score model to an independent cohort of 485 serodiscordant couples from Kampala, Uganda, and Soweto, South Africa. Again, the analysis identified a group (comprising 48 individuals) with high exposure but a decreasing risk of acquiring HIV infection over time. The study authors conclude: "our approach to estimating HIV-1 exposure using longitudinal data from both partners in HIV-1serodiscordant couples provides an objective tool to identify subsets of HESN [HIV-1exposed seronegative] individuals to target for identification of host factors protecting against HIV-1." Additional details on the exposure scoring system are provided as supplementary data on the journal website.

Recently we looked at Frederic Varady's exciting graphic illustration treatments in early 1950's issues of Woman's Home Companion.
But Cosmopolitan magazine art director Robert C. Atherton must have challenged Varady to really pull out the stops -- and the results are even more bold and, I suspect, personal.
Varady had a background in fashion illustration in Paris before he came to New York to do commercial art. You can see that influence, I think, in the stylish and graphic quality of the line technique he employed for this - and other assignments for Cosmo.
Varady was extremely popular with all the magazine ADs, most often doing fully painted illustrations. But I find his painting style always looks a little overwrought and "precious", if you get my meaning. Atherton seems to have felt the same way (I have not found any painted Varady illustrations in Cosmo). Clearly, he challenged Varady to play to his own strengths.
From everything I've seen, the results were consistently spectacular.
There are several other examples of the artist's work in my Frederic Varady Flickr set.
Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

His illustrations looks very different if you are thinking in those times, the '50s, nice.ReplyDelete
O acervo é maravilhoso e a página não fica por menos.ReplyDelete
Great illustrations, cheers leifp!ReplyDelete
I'm happy to know my uncle Fritzi (Frederic) Varady's works are so highly regarded today. Some auction houses list him as American 1908 and actually he was born in Budapest, Hungary.ReplyDelete

May 1, 2006
Long a favorite of Wabash students, Assistant Professor of Religion David Blix '70 received campus-wide recognition of his teaching prowess last Thursday as Dean of the College Raymond Williams announced his selection as the 2006 recipient of the McLain-McTurnan-Arnold Award for Excellence in Teaching.
"When I ask seniors to name two outstanding Wabash teachers, they mention this recipient most often," Williams said. "They refer to 'a Wabash legend,' one whose courses other students must experience as part of their liberal arts education."
The last 12 months have been a windfall for Blix, who earned his Ph.D at the University of Chicago and received numerous appointments as a visiting professor to the Department of Religion at the College before taking a tenure-track position in 2002. Last spring he was named a CASTL Scholar by the Carnegie Foundation, and he was granted tenure at Wabash in December.
"David demands excellent research and writing from his students, while providing guidance and encouragement that caused one student to remark, 'He just will not permit us to write bad papers,'" Willliams said. "His colleagues look to him for guidance. In fact, one colleague gave him that special accolade, 'teacher of teachers,' that we bestow rarely and on very few."
Sitting onstage as the Chapel's longtime volunteer organist and accompanist, Blix was clearly surprised by his selection and was especially moved as Williams made reference to Blix's Wabash mentor, the late Eric Dean.
"Eric Dean was a 'Wabash legend' and 'teacher of teachers' whose self-chosen epitaph for his tombstone in Oak Hill Cemetery is simply 'Wabash Teacher,'" Williams said. "He would be enormously proud to know that David has received this award."

I saw a member of the medical staff the other day. It was one of our pediatricians, and the poor guy had a kidney stone. Being a typical doctor, he had self-diagnosed himself in the office and tried to treat himself at home. It didn't work, and he wound up going into his clinic's urgent care for pain control. He got the VIP treatment there: over 200 mg of Demerol! In an opiate-naive person! But to no avail: his pain continued to crescendo and was absolutely untouched by the medicines. We got the call that he would be coming over and that he would probably need to be admitted on and put on a PCA.
When I saw him, I had to feel bad for him. He was sprawled on the gurney, ashen and covered in sweat. He was completely exhausted, but he just couldn't stop writhing, to the point that he was halfway off the bed.
I reviewed his papers, and noted with a little surprise that he had not been given any toradol. I suggested that we give it a go, and the physician-patient readily agreed. I think he would have agreed had I suggested bloodletting, he was so desperate for relief. I put the order in, along with the other usual stuff, and went off to see the next victim.
Half an hour later, I stopped in to check on him. The transformation was amazing. He was sitting up in bed, pink and comfortable, hardly recognizable as the pathetic wretch I had seen before. He had a look of incredulity on his face. "I just didn't know toradol could do that," he marveled. "I knew it was a good pain releiver, but I always figured that Demerol was stronger, and when the Demerol didn't work, I figured nothing would." He rated his pain as a two.
It was a pretty satisfying encounter, and he went home singing our praises. For the life of me, I have no clue why the urgent care didn't give him toradol. It's the first-line drug for kidney stones, IMO. I don't know why it's so effective. I think it has something to do with its prostaglandin effect causing smooth muscle to relax, which eases the pain of ureteral obstruction (biliary obstruction, also). I've previously written about the efficacy of toradol in folks with intractable pain due to kidney stones, even in drug seekers, and for migraine headaches. So I apologize if I'm sounding like a broken record, but man, it's a great drug. And it's profoundly satisfying when it works as it should.

"Toradol is the shiznit, I don't mean to sound like a broken record" he says as he sips from his Roche coffee mug...ReplyDelete
Just teasin' ;)
I have been playing the "what is going to fix my migraine game" since April of this year. Right now prophylactic Topamax has me mostly in control.ReplyDelete
For some reason, after fifteen years of triptans they have mostly stopped being effective...strange goings on, but I have also had gastric bypass and am wondering if that has anything to do with it - although the nasal spray doesn't seem to be effective either.
Anyway, I did end up in the ER on one weekend about two months in after seeing the doc on Friday and the prescribed Fioricet did nothing. They gave me Toradol and it worked just like you said. I went from literally smacking myself in the head for relief to sitting up and smiling in a few minutes.
My question - is Toradol or anything like it available in prescription or is it only something injectable in the hospital? I don't love being on Topamax every day, especially since I am still getting way more headaches than I want. I used to get one a month (the day before my period) and on the Topamax I am controlled to one every ten to twelve days.
Sorry this turned into a giant story. I love your blog and I always pay attention to stuff about migraines because I HATE thinking that docs want to throw drugs at me or not treat me because they think I want drugs. I just want to take the right thing to be able to work and be a mom. And that Toradol was magic, but I obviously can't go in for a shot of that every time I have a headache. :)
P.S. Love your blog. I have been reading for a couple of months.
I love toradol. Happily I have only encountered it once, but when I did it was night and day just like your pediatrician patient here.ReplyDelete
Toradol is wonderous in post-op patients too.ReplyDelete
Toradol is great. I was recently in the ER with pyelonephritis. The pain had me writhing (the 103.6 fever didn't help). With the toradol shot my pain went down to a minor ache.ReplyDelete
You're going to start a Toradol-seeking trend.ReplyDelete

You not a broken record. This needs to get out more. My hubby has migraines in the 'retch-puke-narcs-don't-touch' type. Toradol is one of the few things [along with ketoprofen] that really works. To the point where our PCP wrote us a script and I'd IM him with 30 mg [repeat once 2 hours] at home in an effort to head them off before the ER. Worked 90% of the time.ReplyDelete

just to be a opposing viewpoint i threw my back out last year writing a prescription, i guess i was leaning wrong and I had someone in labor so i asked for no narcotics, plus i had never taken narcotics before that in my life ... it did nothing and I ended up going from mso4 to dilaudid to get pain relief and I had to that day never had surgery and never received opioids in my life.ReplyDelete
I have severe back pain at 25 years old, and whenever I have break through pain, I always ask for Toradol at the ER since I'm already taking MS Contin. Works like a charm!ReplyDelete
Unfortunately, I am also a sufferer of debillitating migraines to the point of having TIA's resulting in lesions on the brain. I have also been in chronic pain from 3 ripped tendons in the shoulders (rotator cuffs). There isn't an NSAID on the market that has been effective for either the pain or migraines. FINALLY, after 8 years of this and 3 surgeries later, I am on the following "pain" management meds: Lidoderm, Lyrica, Percocet 10/325, and Duragesic 50mcg/h Patch. Make no mistake, this is a massive amount of pain medication but finally, I am getting some relief. Unfortunately, tho, the side effedt are horrendous. Lyrica causes double vision, Percocet and Duragesic cause physical unstableness. I sure wish someone inthe industry would address those of us with a high tolerence to medication and a very low threshold to pain.ReplyDelete

I have seen the wonders of Toradol on kidney stones. But the new PA where I work wouldn't use it cuz he didn't want to be "that aggressive." He didn't think it would work anyway. I tried to tell him that you can almost daignose kidney stones with it but to no avail...what does an experienced RN know against a new PA???ReplyDelete

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Hot, dry weather in the Midwest in August didn't seem like much of a news story at the time. But the detrimental impact it had on soybean production in the four top-producing states could push U.S. soybean prices to $8 or $9 in the short term, analysts say.
In its October crop production report, USDA projected U.S. average soybean yield at 34 bushels per acre, down 2.4 bushels from the previous month. Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota were all down 5 bushels from last month, according to USDA.
"The size of the soybean seeds (in the affected region) continue to dry up to BB size or less, and that is why our yields are not coming through," said Jerry Gidel, an analyst with Midland Research Inc.
USDA also pegged total U.S. soybean production at 2.47 billion bushels, down 7 percent from last month and the lowest production since 1996.
"A shockingly low number," said grain analyst Terry Roggensack. "It sets up a very interesting situation, especially in the soybean oil market. Ninety-five percent of the oil market is domestic, and the endusers just do not use less oil when prices move higher."
This, and the fact that China is still importing soybeans, makes for a very difficult task for the soybean market. "We have to ration the supply of beans and knock down the export pace dramatically," Roggensack said. "That could take sharply higher prices short term."
South American soybean producers continue to be strong export competitors, but that's not going to change the short-term problem, according to Roggensack. "Certainly, it has implications for the spreads. The November and January soybeans may move sharply higher while the May and July soybeans do not necessarily need to keep up."
Analysts advise producers to not turn their backs to prices in the coming weeks, as they will likely be the best prices they'll see this year.
Once resistance at $7.20 is broken through, $7.80- to $8-beans is the next logical level to the upside, according to Gidel. "If the overseas buyers come into this market in the next couple of weeks, we could potentially go higher than that."
Roggensack says $7.11 is the resistance area. "In the past, we've seen that once the market gets back that, there are very few times that it stops in between there and $9.06. I think initially, we need to take a run at the $8 level and see if that can reduce the demand significantly."
Meanwhile, soybean ending stocks were estimated at 130 million bushels, slightly lower than last month's estimate of 135 million bushels and down from last year's 140 million bushels.

- I don't love cranberries.
- I don't need a big, possibly dry cookie thing hanging around.
- I haven't got any soft butter.
- It gets dark just after 4:00, thanks to Daylight Savings, or Standard Time, or whatever it is. I am living in the wrong place to take photos after work.
- My oven is horrible.
- And why do cranberries have to be in everything at this time of year?
softened accidentally melted some butter, and perused my jam cupboard. I have half a dozen types of homemade jam, but decided to make a quick raspberry sauce to keep with the red theme. I added the zest and juice of an orange, some sugar and boiled it till it thickened a bit. I quartered the recipe and made 2 little cakes. I ate one right away, and it was good, even though it got a bit too dark around the edges, and the 'jam' was too runny to fit much in the crust. I may have to experiment with other types of jam. But not cranberry--you turkey lovers can have it. You know you're going to need it.
Jessica! I'm glad I got over myself and made it. :)
Oh, and there's an interview with Dorie on Leite's Culinaria. Check it out. Here's the link.

back in Cork. Old and new - St Finbar's cathedral behind the River Lee, and Jury's Hotel
What a great set of photos! Love those colourful houses especially!
Not so much the dead animal body parts, to display them like that is just such a sad, sad disrespect of life IMHO...
But if I try and overlook that part, the vegetarian bits, cakes and coffee and Paradiso looks mouthwatering and the place is now, of course, on my to-visit-list:)
Thanks for the postcards from Cork and it looks like a food shopper's heaven.
Nope, never heard of buttered eggs but then nowhere else in Ireland has a market like Cork, me jealous, never:) I haven't been to the fishy fish but dying to try it as have heard such good things about it!!
The pictures are beautiful. Loved the ones with the produce and yes, that means the tripe too. :)
looks like a fantastic trip. I love those brightly coloured houses and all that fish looks so fresh. Samphire is also something I cannot get enough of each year - one benefit of the rubbish this year - an extended season. Oysters are also something I am totally addicted to so I think I would have had a good time there!
I had to look up what a victualler was. I seems they deal mostly with army and navy items. I did see one in Nottinghamshire that was food related and had hams, etc. Thanks for sharing this photo album with us. Great shots:D
Should not have looked at this when there's still 40 mins till lunch (sigh).
That market looks like the sort of place I would have to be dragged out of!
Great photos.
And yes, that cat looks dead hard.
What great posts of your trip to Ireland. That Cafe Paradiso serves up some killer breakfasts. I need to try whisky soaked raisins in my oatmeal. A little 'hair of the dog'. All your pictures are great.
Your pics make me wish I had stopped in York on my recent Ireland trip!
Nice photoes... those clams and oysters look delicious!
Oh - this makes me slightly homesick. Beautiful photos, you even covered my alma mater.
I can answer some of your questions :-) Buttered eggs are not just a Cork thing, but an irish thing as I understand it. Very common, the butter blocks the pores of the shell so that the eggs don't go off as quickly. Crubeens are the irish language word for trotter, cru meaning foot, crubeen meaning little foot.
I am delighted you had such a good time. It always make me happy when people enjoy Cork as much as I do :-)
Oh and also - Irish people love bright houses for some reason, predominantly yellow and pink :-)
I'm sure that market was on a Rick Stein program a while ago, looks great anyway. I like you're pictures, not that keen to try the tripe though!
Great photo's from Cork!! I think I'll pass on the Tripe, and drisheen though, but a great place to visit for any foodie!
Rosie x
I went to Kinsale twice last year, once with family and a second time with work. I agree; they're the best oysters I've had so far. I didn't make it to Fishy Fishy - did you try Man Fridays?
I'll have one of most things please. The cake and coffee look tempting!
Great set of photographs.
Who needs words when you have got pictures like this? Amazing!
That looks like a heck of a trip! I'd never heard of buttered eggs (or a victualler) before. I'll pass on the tripe though ;)
Fabulous photos! I am adding Cork to my list of must see places :)
Well, did you get to try any crubeen, drisheen or pork heads? Other than those, the food looks delicious =), the buttered eggs idea is interesting. 6 months? That seem impossible.
For shame, I live in Ireland, I love food, I've been to Cork and I haven't been to the market yet! Mr B has family there, so we're always with them and exploring gets pushed to the side...
Love these photos. Must sneak down there for a weekend without telling the family first. Shhhhhh!
Great photos, I've not been there before so I've really enjoyed these. I could murder one of those frothy coffees right now!
Pia - yes, you must go!
Peter - it is, it is...
Lorraine - get thee to Fishy Fishy. Wonderful food.
Cynthia - you like tripe? Respect, girl ;-)
Helen - samphire rocks, doesn't it? I just wish it was an all-round vegetable. But then I guess it wouldn't be so special.
Val - this victualler's was essentially a fancy butcher's shop
Cakey - it was. I didn't dare go any nearer. Poor old chap, though - he bore the marks of many a scrape..
Glamah - why, thank you kindly :)
Sylvie - you really should have...
Orchidea - all the food there was just amazing. So fresh, so perfectly cooked
eatlikeagirl - thank you for the info. Most interesting. I kinda loved the houses, actually. Unfailingly cheery.
Sam - if it was on Rick Stein, I missed it. Strikes me as very much his kind of thing, though.
Rosie - you a wimp, or something? ;-)
Lizzie - no, I didn't. I'll obviously have to put that on the list for next time...
Margaret - I DID have one of most things. That was the problem...
Mike - you and me both. The tripe, that is
Gluten-free - do. You won't regret it
Nick - I didn't, but I happily would have. I like pigs' trotters, pigs' ears and most parts of pig, actually. Does that make me sound scary?
Jen - I won't tell...
Nic - thank you. The coffee in that shop (next to the victualler - can't remember the name) was fantastic, actually. They did all sorts of specialties with chocolate, including premium couverture.
So pretty, the food looked good too!
To answer your question: very, very pretty indeed :) And how about that, I love cake AND fish!! ;) Thank you so much for this virtual tour! It looks so idyllic!
These are really great photos. I love the cat. If we lived in a wee town with cobblestone streets and painted doors, that's who my cat would be.
Ohhh I am so jealous. Love Cafe Paradiso and that coconut & mango cake -- and the fish stalls! And the coloured houses! And the 'buttered eggs', whatever they are ^__^. Ohhh...
Pigs' heads? Yikes! They scare me. Thanks for the pictorial tour. I especially love the scenic shots of the trees and the B & Bs.
tell me you took the pigs head home with you! and the coconut/mango cake to go with it. nice photos!
xoxo, tribeca yummy mummy
Outstanding photos, what a great time.
of all places, cork - i'm dying to get there meself some day,,,
i NEED buttered eggs.
and that cat could totally cut a bitch.
Have just discovered you through Food Stories and am ploughing through your archives. I'm a Cork city girl and you have no idea how homesick you've made me! Thank you for such a lovely portrayal of my home town.
I knew I shouldn't have clicked, oh I'm longing to go back to Cork. Drisheen is lovely btw, delicious but I'll pass on the tripe thanks. Buttered eggs are gorgeous too. Did you eat at the English Market? The breakfasts there are to die for.
The oysters and the clams really look so juicy. Whoa! That's really mouth watering, I love it when the clam or oyster is steamed, sauteed and grilled, then it has herbs and spices from your spice rack or spice jar on top.

503-16 COSPAS/SARSAT Approval
Techtest Ltd located in Hereford, United Kingdom, who suppy a wide range of Search and Rescue Equipment for both Civil and Military platforms, have received Class 1 COSPAS/SARSAT approval for the deployable beacon which forms the integral part of the Crash Position Indicator (CPI) system.
The Beacon approval, under TAC No. 244, covers all variants of the 503-16 deployable beacon including those fitted with integral GPS, and memory module (MM), for integration with a wide range of Crash Data Recorders.
Utilised world wide the Techtest CPI system has become the system of choice for helicopter operators servicing the off shore oil and gas industry.
New Small Personal Locator Beacon
Techtest have introduced a new range of small Personal Locator Beacons. Customers have for many years been calling for smaller PLB's but the specification requirement for 48 hour operation at -20°C has always made battery size critical.
Techtest have optimised the operation of the batteries to overcome this problem and in conjunction with new miniturised electronics, the 500-32 series PLB's finally provides the user with a compact, easy to use unit.
After rigorous testing the 500-32 series of ELT(s) or PLB has recently been awarded a COSPAS SARSAT type approval (Certificate No. 223).
Direction Finding S.A.R.
- Multi-beacon DF
- Single compact antenna unit
- High sensitivity receiver
- Fully COSPAS-SARSAT compatible
The Techtest DF system is designed to reduce the time to locate emergency locator beacons. It is compatible with both 121.5MHz swept tone distress beacons and 406MHz COSPAS-SARSAT transmissions on current and future frequencies.
The user is able to monitor four frequencies and detect emergency transmissions. Each transmission is allocated a unique identification which can then be selected for more detailed information.
For 121.5MHz the system can display relative bearing details.
For 406MHz the system will give all the same information as 121.5MHz but in addition will record and decode the COSPAS-SARSAT message, giving details of the distress beacon and if available the GPS beacon location.

Michigan State gets $2.5 million donation from Dallas oil executive
EAST LANSING -- Michigan State University says a Dallas oil executive and his wife are donating $2.5 million to the engineering program at the East Lansing school.
The university said Wednesday that the gift comes from Dave and Denise Lamp. It says $2 million will establish the David L. and Denise M. Lamp Endowed Chair in Chemical Engineering, while $500,000 will go into a scholarship fund that the family established earlier.
Dave Lamp is a 1980 graduate of the College of Engineering and says he credits a great deal of his professional and business success to the education he got at Michigan State.
He is president and chief executive of Northern Tier Energy.

The Pleated Crop
Pleats, please! Whoever said that pleated pants are a style "don't" had obviously never tried our 194 Pleated Crop. The key to our pant's chic look is the reverse nature of the pleat; it folds outwards (instead of in), drawing a line down the front of the leg to elongate the body. (An adjustable tab at the waist and our signature corseted internal construction further guarantee a flawless fit.) With a mid-rise waist and a cut that's roomy around the hips, this is a fashion-forward style that's nevertheless easy to pull off: We like it hemmed to just above the ankle and paired with high heels and a tucked-in silky blouse.
Size and Fit
• True to size • 26.5" inseam; 10.75" rise; Measurements were taken from a size 4 • Model is 5'10" and is wearing a size 2
Fabric and Care
• 96% Wool 4% Lycra • Mid-rise, straight-leg • Inverted pleats, with adjustable waistband detail • Fly-front zipper with extension tab detail at waist • Dry clean only

A study puts a clear dollar figure on the savings from a new Missouri law mandating the use of renewable fuels: The study found that drivers will save $288.6 Million in 2008 alone, an average of $72.80 per driver.
A leading expert on agricultural economy and biofuels, John M. Urbanchuk of the global expert services firm LECG (NASDAQ: XPRT), authored the study in conjunction with the Missouri Corn Growers Association. He will also be testifying before the Missouri Assembly on Tuesday, April 22.
"The ethanol mandate has been a great benefit for the state and its citizens. In addition to reducing our country's dependence on oil, Missouri is passing on a big cost savings to its drivers through cheaper gas at the pump," said Mr. Urbanchuk.
Starting in 2008, Missouri became the third state to require all gasoline sold in the state to be blended with 10 percent ethanol (E-10). The LECG study found that the use of a 10 percent ethanol blend saved Missouri drivers 7.7 cents per gallon at the retail pump in 2007 for a total savings of $158.2 million, or $40 for each of Missouri's 3.9 million licensed drivers. Reflecting current gasoline and ethanol price movements the savings are expected to average 9.8 cents per gallon or $72.80 per driver this year as 10 percent ethanol is used statewide in 2008.
Mr. Urbanchuk has advocated use of ethanol and biofuels, even as detractors have named ethanol as a main cause in the rise of corn and consumer food costs. Mr. Urbanchuk's LECG study - "The Relative Impact of Corn and Energy Prices in the Grocery Aisle" was cited last year in Ethanol Producer Magazine as well as Rural Cooperative magazine, which is published by the U.S Department of Agriculture.

Kelly, Gaga, and Vaginas
This is Kelly Clarkson in Australia today promoting her album All I Ever Wanted. She'll continue promoting it in Canada, specifically Toronto, on June 21, at the MuchMusic Video Awards joining Lady Gaga and the Vagina Virgin Jonas Brothers on a star studded list of performers and presenters.
I Do Not Hook Up is on my running playlist right now. I like it when I'm crossing a bridge. It's a snap your fingers in some dude's face and end up making out kind of song. Good for motivation when the ass is cramping.
Favourite recent Kelly Clarkson moment:
We live two blocks from a high school with a huge field where my dog likes to chase his ball. End of school year, graduation, it's that time. Was with Marcus at dusk last week, a group of kids in the parking lot had the stereo cranked in the car playing Kelly's Already Gone, singing the lyrics to each other. Well, the girls were. The guys were trying to look cool and unemotional and wondering if they were getting any action that night.
Now the song has new meaning for me.
As for Gaga and the Vaginas…
She recently told reporters that "I love the Jonas Brothers, they're very talented, I met them once, I'd like to have a foursome with them."
She's a gay icon. They'll worship her. And they'll all be together at the MMVAs on June 21st.

We're told the reaction from Macy's was amazing, so expect to see Paris jeans at a mall near you -- in sizes Small, Emaciated and Nicole.
Paris used a post-prison photo-op to debut her namesake jeans outside the Lynwood jail last month.

Reduced Guilt Brownies
I am a horrible packrat and I know it. I blame it on the Great Depression.
Wait, you think I lived through that? No, even though a big birthday is coming up I'm not THAT old. My grandparents lived through it. My father's parents raised two kids and pinched pennies till they screamed for mercy (the pennies, not the kids) while the country suffered through profound economic turmoil. They raised a lot of their own food in the garden, made it themselves or did without, and never, EVER threw anything away. Because, after all, you might need it again.
The Bible says to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Can you guess something about my father? Yes, he's a packrat, too. His workshop is a museum of projects past and present. Old sports equipment, broken bits of jewelry, dried paint cans, and scraps of lumber. You never know what you'll find in there, because, after all, he might need that again.
I have to fight this tendency in my own life. The most difficult things for me to part with are magazines (I can't just throw away a Bon Appetite, for goodness sake! I might want to cook one of those recipes. Someday. If I remember it. And can find it.), cardboard boxes (what if I need to mail a package, what will I put it in if all the boxes are promptly put out in recycling like my husband prefers?), and, of course, food.
There is tremendous guilt attached to unused food. There are children starving in Bangladesh! How can I just casually toss out leftovers just because no one wants to eat it? My refrigerator is stuffed with plastic food coffins, waiting for the lids to bulge so that I have permission to throw the contents away. No shame in throwing away bad food (except for letting it go bad in the first place).
An obvious solution comes to mind. When I get a cardboard box, I need to ruthlessly clean out the refrigerator, put it all in the cardboard box, and mail it to Bangladesh. My husband would be happy since the boxes wouldn't be piling up in the garage. I'd be happy because my refrigerator would be clean. And Bangladesh, well, can I pretend that my leftovers will bless them? Maybe if I tuck in a Bon Appetite, that will make up for the rainbow sheen on the ham and the slightly furry quality of the bread.
The best way to avoid leftovers is to plan ahead. If you're making a big recipe, invite company over, or freeze half of the recipe. And if you know a recipe calls for part of an ingredient (half a green pepper, 1/3 of a jar of sauce, etc), menu plan so that the next night you use up the rest of it.
When I posted about making bean dip, I promised you a way to use up those extra beans. Bean salad is a good choice. Tossing them into chili or a soup? Another winning idea.
But, me being me, I like dessert. Bean brownies. The beans replace the flour, so these are a nice option for the gluten-intolerant among us. The brownies are super moist and delicious. No one that I've served them to has been able to guess what the secret ingredient is. Plus, they're so easy, that they take next to no effort to make. All that, plus the warm happy glow of not having leftovers turning slimy in the refrigerator. Bonus!
Black Bean Brownies
1-1/2 cups cooked black beans
3 eggs
3 Tbsp coconut oil
1/4 c. cocoa powder
pinch of salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup date puree (directions to make your own in this recipe)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp instant coffee powder
1 cup (6 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips, or coarsely chopped semi-sweet chocolate (divided)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (soaked and dried)
1- Preheat oven to 350 deg. F. Grease an 8 x8 -inch pan.
2- Into the bowl of a food processor, put beans, eggs, coconut oil, cocoa powder, salt, vanilla, date puree, sugar, instant coffee, and 1/2 cup of the chocolate chunks. Process until smooth.
3-Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chocolate and nuts over the top. With a rubber spatula, gently press on the chunks till they are all submerged under the batter.
4- Bake for 35 to 40 min. The edges should be baked and the center set. Let cool completely. But if you like oozy, messy chocolate, especially served with vanilla ice cream, cool slightly and then cut (or scoop) it.

Oooo, these look good. I have tried a black bean chocolate cake and been very pleased - no bean flavor, great texture. I'll bet the dates add some nice chewiness. I've actually had better luck with gluten free recipes for brownies that I really like so I will have to try this one out. Love that it's basically a "one-bowl" recipe!

As a certified brownie fiend (that makes two ways in which I'm certifiable) those look ri-diculous. And I know how you feel about the pack rat thing too. It's definitely genetic. My Grandfather keeps everything but in his defence still uses a lot of it. My father, well let's just say that one time we found a box in the garage labeled "Broken Wires" (that is the honest truth). And me? I have trouble throwing away things, but I'm moving soon (for the first time) and plan on doing a bit of a purge. Though, I just know I'll still have a need for my Nintendo Power Magazines from 1988 :).
Oh and do you think canned beans would be okay for these?

Hobby Baker - black bean cake sound wonderful!
Adam - Good luck with the move. Nothing like packing to make it easier to pitch stuff. Yes, you can use 1 can of black beans for the 1-1/2 cups.

I've never had a black bean brownie before but it really does sound like a healthy alternative! It's tough for me to get black beans here though - you have any ideas for substitutions?

Those brownies look oh so fudgy and rich. I'd never guess that there's black beans in them. I have a sweet treat linky party going on at my blog till tomorrow night and I'd love it if you'd come by and link your brownies up. http://sweet-as-sugar-cookies.blogspot.com/2011/07/sweets-for-saturday-25.html

I always have a can of black beans in the pantry so this could be a dangerous recipe for me...in a really nice way...they look sooo yummy.'Fraid I have the packrat gene, too and the magazine/box combo is very strong. I let Sweetie throw out half the boxes :)

black beans were my favorite bean even before i knew they could be used for this purpose, and this just adds to their appeal. :)

MotorWeek Video Transcript: EPA's New MPG Ratings
Jessica Shea Choksey: After years of public debate, the Environmental Protection Agency is changing its testing procedures for new car fuel mileage estimates so that they are more inline with real world results.
The EPA's tests and regulations will apply to 2008 model year vehicles, some of which will be on sale by early spring.
The move, which strives to end inflated fuel estimates, save motorists money, and reduce global warming pollution, was heavily supported by environmental, public health and consumer groups, as well as a mystified public that seldom got close to the mileage estimates found on a new car's window sticker.
In response, the EPA is adding new tests to its City and Highway driving cycles that will better reflect changing driving habits that include higher speeds, rapid acceleration, and the use of air conditioning. The present laboratory test procedures not been changed since 1985.
The new tests will likely reduce the City estimates for most vehicles by 10-to-20 percent, compared to what they would have been under the old testing procedures. Highway estimates will likely drop 5-15 percent. Gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles may endure even larger cuts, decreasing their City mileage by estimates of 20-30 percent, and 10-20 percent for highway.
In addition, the redesigned window sticker is more user friendly, with a more prominent display of the annual fuel costs for a new vehicle.
The new regulations also close a loophole and will require a window sticker on many of the largest truck, SUVs, and vans that did not previously have to list fuel mileage estimates due to their gross-vehicle weight being over 8,500 pounds.
The reality is that the new labels will not help consumers achieve better fuel economy immediately. But, when they do go shopping for their next new vehicle, they'll have a more realistic idea of how much pain to expect at the pump, and hopefully pass up a gas guzzler and make a more fuel efficient choice. Consumers can check the Federal Government's online Fuel Economy Guide for more information. And that's it for this week's MotorNews.

The Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale is a big event, and one that has come to be known for a number of special feature sales, often to benefit charities, in addition to the collector-car lots that serve as its core. Among the highlighted lots this year is a Mercury that was built to commemorate the Daytona 500 win of David Pearson over Richard Petty in the 1976 race, when the two drivers tangled on the last lap and wound up in the infield; Petty couldn't get his car started again, while Pearson managed to get the Wood Brothers Merc out of the grass and over the line for the checker.
The tribute Mercury is a Montego built by Gateway Classic Mustang and donated to the Darrell Gwynn Foundation for the auction, the proceeds of which will go toward continuing the work of the organization. The car features a Ford Racing crate engine, a 521-cubic-inch 385-series V-8 (429/460 family) fitted with aluminum Ford Racing Super Cobra Jet cylinder heads, a mechanical-roller camshaft and 10:1 compression to produce 609hp and 630-lbs.ft. of torque. The engine is backed by a Tremec five-speed manual gearbox and a Ford 9-inch rear axle.
A well-worn regular production Montego served as the starting point for the project, which the crew at Gateway then dismantled to begin the process of repairing, restoring and modifying on the way to creating the replica of Pearson's #21. Because the project was being done in conjunction with Barrett-Jackson, Sherwin Williams got involved by providing the paint, from its line of Barrett-Jackson Collector Color Series of automotive refinishing products. Drawing from the B-J Collector Color charts, the Montego was covered in a base of Snow White and then the Purolator livery was created using Red Hot Chili Pepper and Blisterin' Blue.
The Darrell Gwynn Foundation was founded in 2002 by NHRA World Champion drag racer Darrell Gwynn to provide awareness, prevention and support for paralysis, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure for the condition. Gwynn was paralyzed from the chest down following a crash of his dragster during an exhibition run in England in 1990. His work with the foundation strives to create increased awareness of spinal cord injuries and to better educate people – particularly high school students – on the dangers of risky behavior that can lead to such injuries. The foundation also operates a national Wheelchair Donation Program, maintains a patient assistance fund and provides financial support to various research programs aimed at finding a cure for paralysis.
The auction of the Mercury will happen on Friday, January 21, 2011, at Barrett-Jackson in Scottsdale. You can also see more on the Mercury, including lots of build photos, at www.gatewayclassicmustang.com.
