Director: Lucy Walker Producers: Angus Aynsley and Hank Levine
Full Frame Audience Award 2010
Total running time: 95:00
Artist Vik Muniz, known for painting with nontraditional materials, returned to his native Brazil to portray workers in one of the world's largest garbage dumps, Jardim Gramacho, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. He collaborated with these "catadores"–self-designated scavengers of recyclable materials–to create portraits of them made entirely of garbage, returning the profits from their sale to his subjects. Over three years, the filmmakers followed Muniz and this eclectic band of catadores, revealing both the dignity and despair of their lives, in a multivalent collaborative work engaging with issues of artistic process, social justice, responsibility to one's subjects, class mobility, activism, and beauty. In English and Portuguese with English subtitles.

Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen: World War I Soldiers' Soup
A century ago, the Great War was causing massive casualties and destruction in France. Allied Cookery, the product of an international collaboration, was written as a fundraiser. The proceeds were distributed by Le Secours National, the French organization created immediately after war was declared in 1914. The brainchild of banker and arts patron Albert Kahn, Le Secours raised funds to provide food and warm clothing to French soldiers and their families and to civilians in the country's devastated regions. The cookbook's introduction explains that any money raised will go to those areas that had been invaded by the Germans and subsequently retaken by the Allied forces. The impact of the damage was all the more horrific because these were France's most fertile agricultural regions. With the buildings destroyed and the farm implements, livestock, and food stores seized, the surviving farmers could not produce food. With armies to supply, shortages were a real danger. Allied propaganda posters encouraged citizens to grow vegetable gardens and to restrict their consumption of wheat, meat, sugar, fats, and fuel. (French propaganda posters included the wine and tobacco products so badly needed by the military!) Fittingly, the recipes in this cookbook emphasize vegetables, beans, and soups. The section on meats includes many dishes using the less choice bits: tripe, kidneys, sheep's head and the like.
In addition to the countries listed in the title, Allied Cookery includes recipes from Commonwealth countries and Eastern Europe. Hence, there is a whole section on curries and dishes such as Pilau (pilaf) and Serbian Cake. I decided to try the Soldiers' Soup (Soupe à la Battaille); it seemed altogether fitting when highlighting a World War I cookbook and also potentially tasty.
The ingredients were, for the most part, easily obtained at my usual supermarket. I was unable to find chervil for the garnish, and so simply left it out. The note at the bottom suggests that "a bone of ham or the remains of bacon improve this soup immensely." I therefore purchased a bone of ham from our local HoneyBaked Ham. The instructions were extremely simple to follow and it is easy to imagine an army cook preparing the soup over an open fire using vegetables that had been requisitioned from nearby farms.
There was a great deal of washing, peeling, and chopping and I needed to use my largest cooking pot. After everything was added, I left the soup to simmer, with only occasional stirring, for two hours. I pulled out the ham bone and skimmed the fat. The recipe says that the mixture should be quite smooth at that point, and if it is not, the cook should "beat it well with a whisk." Mine was not smooth, so I cheated a bit and used my 21st century immersion blender. The result was a beautiful jade green silky concoction.
The flavor was absolutely delightful—a fresh vegetable taste with a little smoky depth from the ham and a creaminess from the potatoes. I shredded the ham and served it on the side, but the soup was delicious without it. My husband ate three full bowls. I would rate this soup a five out of five. Without the ham, it would be a perfect vegan dish. It makes so much that I refrigerated enough for another two or three meals and froze several large containers for later consumption. Civilians were called upon to sacrifice for the war effort, but preparing and eating this soup was no sacrifice whatsoever!
You can explore Allied Cookery in the Rubenstein Library or on the Internet Archive.
Every Friday between now and Thanksgiving, we'll be sharing a recipe from our collections that one of our staff members has found, prepared, and tasted. We're excited to bring these recipes out of their archival boxes and into our kitchens (metaphorically, of course!), and we hope you'll find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving.

An Unlikely Alliance: Medical Civil Rights Reformers and Southern Senators in the Age of Deluxe Jim Crow
Date: Wednesday, October 29, 2014
Time: 5:30 p.m.
Location: Room 217, Perkins Library
Contact: Rachel Ingold, email@example.com or (919)684-8549
Please join us on Wednesday, October 29 at 5:30 p.m. for our next Trent History of Medicine lecture. Karen Kruse Thomas, Ph.D., will present An Unlikely Alliance: Medical Civil Rights Reformers and Southern Senators in the Age of Deluxe Jim Crow. A reception will follow the talk.
How could Jim Crow segregation ever be described as "deluxe"? Thurgood Marshall, lead counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, used the term "deluxe Jim Crow" to refer to the efforts of southern state and local governments to shore up segregation by spending money to improve separate black facilities and programs. This strategy was applied to the fullest extent in health care, with federal assistance from the Hill-Burton hospital construction program and other health initiatives. Although the majority of civil rights history scholarship has focused on issues that captured extensive media attention such as school desegregation, public accommodations, and voting rights, the story in health care was largely overlooked, at the time and since. Yet the unlikely alliance during the mid-twentieth century between medical civil rights activists, southern policymakers, and New Deal liberals has much to teach us about the possibilities and limits of political compromise, especially in the context of our own era of Congressional deadlock.
Karen Kruse Thomas has served as Historian of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health since 2012. Dr. Thomas earned her doctorate in history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and has taught U.S. history at the universities of North Carolina, Minnesota, and Florida. Her publications in the history of medicine and public health have received national awards from the American Association for the History of Medicine and the Southern Historical Association. She's also received grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library. In 2011, the University of Georgia Press published her first book, Deluxe Jim Crow: Civil Rights and American Health Policy, 1935-1954.
The event is sponsored by the History of Medicine Collections and the John Hope Franklin Research Center for African and African American History and Culture.

Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen: Rice Apples (1777)
Want to make history this Thanksgiving? Every Friday between now and Thanksgiving, we'll be sharing a recipe from our collections that one of our staff members has found, prepared, and tasted. We're excited to bring these recipes out of their archival boxes and into our kitchens (metaphorically, of course!), and we hope you'll find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving.
For my shift in the Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen, I wanted to try something truly old-school. (When the idea for this series of blog posts was first proposed, one of the names we considered calling it was "Antiquarian Culinarian," with the idea of recreating the flavors of times gone by.) Browsing the library catalog for cookbooks of yore, I came across a title that looked promising: The Young Ladies' Guide in the Art of Cookery, Being a Collection of useful Receipts, Published for the Convenience of the Ladies committed to Her Care, by Elizabeth Marshall (T. Saint: Newcastle, England: 1777).
The 200-page volume is part of the collections of the Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture, and it's one of many titles the Bingham Center holds that offer a fascinating window into the domestic and social life of women in the eighteenth century.
Marshall (1738-?) ran a cooking school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne from 1770 to 1790. Such schools were not uncommon at the time and catered to women who aspired to work as housekeepers or cooks for the wealthier class. As Marshall explains in her preface, the book came about after frequent solicitations from her former pupils to put her most sought-after recipes in writing:
It is at your urgent and frequently repeated request that the following Receipts have at length come abroad. – You were sensible of the necessity of having an assistance of this sort to your memory; and the difficulty as well as expense of procuring the Receipts in manuscript, suggested the present form as the most proper and convenient for answering your intentions. – I hope this will be considered as a sufficient apology for the design. For its execution I have less to say. – The subject does not admit of elegance of expression, though I acknowledge the language might have been more correct. It was my wish to have rendered it so, but the various other duties in which I am engaged, would not allow me leisure sufficient for the purpose. – Such as the work is, I hope it will be received with candour, and consulted with advantage.
The eighteenth century wasn't exactly the heyday of British cuisine, and many of the dishes in Marshall's book hopefully won't be making a comeback anytime soon. There are entries on how to make Herring Pudding, Calf's Foot Jelly, Stewed Turbot's Head, Eel Pye, and something called "White Soop."
Inspired by the changing of the seasons, I opted for something a little more autumnal (and less zoological): Rice Apples! The recipe not only looked relatively easy and tasty, but it also presented a rare opportunity to use my apple-corer, a handy but sadly neglected implement in my kitchen that only gets a chance to shine once every couple of years.
Here's the recipe, which I've transcribed below in case it's difficult to read the old-fashioned ligatures:
- Boil a quarter of a pound of rice in three pints of water for a quarter of an hour
- Strain off the water, and put to the rice, one pint of milk, one pint of cream, a stick of cinnamon, and lemon skin
- Let them boil, and sweeten to your taste
- Beat four eggs, leaving out two whites, put them to the rice, and let it stand on a slow fire a little
- Keep it stirring till cool
- Pare and cut the core out of your apples, put them in a dish well buttered, and strewed over with grated bread and sugar
- Fill them with the above mixture, and cover them over with it
- Strew it over with bread crumbs and sugar, and bake it a fine brown
- Melt butter with sack and sugar, and cover them before they go to table
One thing you immediately notice about eighteenth-century recipes is their lack of helpful specifics. How many apples should you use, and what kind? Should the lemon skin be peeled or grated? (I went with grated.) Exactly how many minutes is "a little"?
Modern cookbooks don't leave much room for interpretation. They give exact measurements, precise times and temperatures, and sometimes even brand-name ingredients, so that your dish looks and tastes as close as possible like the one in the book.
Not so with Mistress Marshall. Her instructions are more like general guidelines. A little this, a little that. But I actually appreciated that about her style. Cooking is more fun when it's improvisational and you have to use your own judgment. In keeping with m'lady's free-spiritedness, I even made a few modifications along the way, whenever I thought they might improve the final result. I'll describe those here.
The recipe calls for three pints of water to cook the rice. That's six cups of water, which is way more than you need for less than a cup of rice, and it would take forever to boil. I reduced the water to two cups, which was enough for the rice to absorb without having to strain any off.
I chose small snack-size Golden Delicious apples, the kind you can buy in a bag, instead of the jumbo-sized genetically modified ones you often see in the grocery store. The smaller ones seemed more historically authentic, closer to the size of apples you would probably find two hundred years ago. After coring and peeling the apples, I put them in a bowl of water with a little lemon juice to keep them from browning.
After adding the eggs to the milky rice mixture, you're supposed to let it stand over low heat for "a little" and stir. I did this for about 15 minutes, until it started to thicken. Then I took it off the burner and stirred periodically for another 15 minutes or so, until it had the consistency of lumpy cottage cheese.
Instead of store-bought breadcrumbs, I bought a baguette and used a food processor to make fresh ones. And before popping the whole thing in the oven, I sprinkled a little ground cinnamon on top for good measure, because cinnamon and apples were made for each other. I think this was a good addition. I used a 350-degree oven and baked the dish for one hour.
The final step of the recipe calls for pouring over the apples a mixture of butter, sugar, and "sack." I had to look up what sack was. Turns out it was a kind of sweet, fortified white wine from Spain, the forerunner of sherry. I'm not a big sherry fan, but I picked up a cheap golden variety in the wine aisle at the grocery store.
The verdict: Quite delectable, by Jove! The apples were tender and sweet, and the milky-rice-breadcrumb mixture was like an envelope of bread pudding. The sherry added a subtle boozy kick that seemed especially English. I would have no qualms serving this to company, however high or low their station.

Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen: Apple Kuchen
Want to make history this Thanksgiving? Every Friday between now and Thanksgiving, we'll be sharing a recipe from our collections that one of our staff members has found, prepared, and tasted. We're excited to bring these recipes out of their archival boxes and into our kitchens (metaphorically, of course!), and we hope you'll find some historical inspiration for your own Thanksgiving.
Happy Oktoberfest! To kick off our Rubenstein Library Test Kitchen series, I prepared a recipe to celebrate the German festival, which runs this year from September 20th to October 10th.
The Recipe and Duke History
I found a recipe for apple kuchen, or apple cake, in the Ted Minah Papers. The recipe was grouped with a series of recipes apparently intended for Duke's Woman's College, [1] ranging from barbecued meatballs to a lemon soufflé pudding. Although a sweet cake, interestingly, the recipe was labeled as a bread recipe rather than a dessert.
The recipe helped me learn more about some of the culinary history at Duke, especially about the influential Theodore W. "Ted" Minah. Minah was the director of Duke University Dining Halls from 1946 to 1974. By his retirement in 1974, Minah had transformed the dining halls at Duke University from a small operation to 12 dining halls serving approximately 15,000 meals each day.
The context for the recipe collection wasn't clear – the ingredient proportions were for smaller portions, usually 4 to 6 servings. Since it was coming from the collection of the Dining Hall director, I expected the recipe to be scaled to serve large groups of students, but perhaps the recipes were designed for a Woman's College cookbook? I've seen university-related cookbooks in other collections, like the "Culinary Casebooks" in the Duke Law Dames records (possibly a topic for a future "Cooking in the Archives" post!).
Like many older recipes, it was short and to the point – no lengthy descriptions of methods or ingredients to coddle the home cook. I did encounter an interesting culinary term I'd never seen before, but which continues to appear in other archival collections I'm processing: Oleo. Oleo was a common colloquial term used to refer to margarine, whose full name is oleomargarine. I admit that I strayed from the recipe and used butter rather than margarine, but that substitution didn't seem to hurt the recipe.
The Results
As often happens in the archives, I learned a variety of interesting new facts that I would have never guessed I'd encounter – from the history of the university, to colloquial cooking terms!
Overall, the recipe was perfect for fall – the tart apples, cinnamon, and somewhat unusual cake batter made a tasty seasonal treat. The recipe was easy and quick to make, used common ingredients found in any grocery store, and should appeal to even the pickiest eater.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Stay tuned for more tasty recipes from our collections!
1. The Woman's College was established at Duke in 1930 as a parallel to Trinity College for men. The Woman's College fostered a community that allowed for shared university faculty, curriculum, and educational facilities with the men's college, while giving women an opportunity for leadership through separate student government, social standards committees, and judicial board. The Woman's College merged with Trinity College in 1972.

Steve Roden: Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel Visiting Artist
In October 2014, the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library will welcome internationally known sound and visual artist Steve Roden as the inaugural Barbaralee Diamonstein-Spielvogel Visiting Artist. Named in honor of Dr. Diamonstein-Spielvogel, a prolific author, interviewer, curator, and champion of the arts, this new artist-in-residence program will provide an extended opportunity for an artist to study and engage with archival, manuscript and other special collections in support of developing a new body of creative work. The Library's diverse and unique collections have the potential to inspire a variety of works, from new documentary films and textile designs to installations and theatrical plays, and the fellowship will be open to artists working in all media.
Roden is a visual and sound artist based in Pasadena, California, whose work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, film, video, sound installation, text and performance pieces. Roden has shown and performed art around the world, and his work is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Blanton Museum of Art at the University of Texas, Austin, Texas, and National Museum of Contemporary Art, Athens, Greece, among others.
In 2011, Roden completed a month-long residency in Berlin where he studied the Walter Benjamin archives at the Akademie der Künste. Since he neither speaks nor reads German, Roden turned his discerning eye toward the visual elements of Benjamin's archives. Through this paleographic lens, Roden created a series of works in multiple formats inspired by the color-coded symbols Benjamin used to organize and annotate his work. Several of these were featured in two 2013 solo exhibitions entitled "Ragpicker" at CRG gallery in New York City, and Susanne Vielmetter LA Projects in Los Angeles. Roden is perhaps best known for his pioneering work in lowercase music, a form of experimental music that involves quiet sounds, analog technology, small found objects, and cheap electronics, among other elements.
Roden will be in residency at the Rubenstein Library October 13-30, 2014. During this time, Roden will be available to meet with scholars, students and staff from across the academic disciplines at Duke and will offer two public talks.
On Saturday, October 18 at 6:30 pm, Roden will present "Ragpicker" at the Full Frame Theater of the American Tobacco Warehouse. Through an interactive discussion format, Roden will consider both g both his work and his creative processes, Roden will show images of some recent work and the found objects, junk, and other detritus of everyday life that inspired them. The event will be followed by a reception, and both are free and open to the public.
Roden's residency will culminate with a public discussion about how the archival collections, people, and experiences he engaged at Duke may inspire future works. This event will be held at the Center for Documentary Studies on Thursday, October 23 at 5:00 pm, and will be followed by a reception on the Center's front porch.
Roden's visit is jointly organized and sponsored by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library, the Center for Documentary Studies, and the Master of Fine Arts in Experimental and Documentary Arts Program at Duke University.

New Collection: Meet the Wilsons
It is a rare treat for me to have a chance to process some 19th century family letters. The family papers of Col. David S. Wilson, from Dubuque, Iowa, arrived in March 2014, thanks to a generous donation from the Kirby, Pfohl, and Quigley Family. The collection was discovered in an attic. It reached the Rubenstein Library as it was discovered, with rusty pins and covered in black dust. Considering its age and environment, the letters themselves were in terrific condition — just filthy. A lot of my time was spent cleaning the paper with special sponges that attract grime.
I was pleasantly surprised by the contents of the letters. Col. David S. Wilson is moderately famous in Iowa history for his service in the state legislature in the 1850s and early 1860s, and for raising the 6th Iowa Cavalry in 1862. His regiment fought the Sioux in the Dakota Territory. Wilson later worked as a lawyer in both San Francisco and Washington, D.C., and eventually was appointed district judge back in Dubuque.
The collection does not focus on Wilson's military career, but instead consists largely of letters between David and his family, particularly his wife, Henrietta, and their four children. The letters cover personal topics such as in-laws, health, and finances, and reveal the hardships the family faced as David was frequently separated from his loved ones. They seemed to genuinely miss each other, and it was nice to see such warmth conveyed in their letters.
Also notable in the collection were the courtship letters received by the couple's daughter Gertrude (also known as "Gertie") in the mid-1870s. Gertie had at least six different suitors in 1872 and 1873, and their letters to her dominate the correspondence from that period. Emotions turned raw as she rejected a few declarations of love. Gertie finally married George Brock, from Chicago, in March 1874.
The collection includes more than just correspondence; there are also some legal documents, land grants, and a diary from David S. Wilson's 1860 term in the General Assembly. One of the land grants includes a signature from President Franklin Pierce. The children's activities, particularly their schooling, are documented through report cards and flyers. I also came across this handmade score book, which was largely empty, but I was excited to see what sport it was for: baseball. Along with all his other activities, it turns out that David Wilson was also a pitcher.
The Col. David S. Wilson Family Papers are now fully processed and available for researchers. You can explore it for yourself using the collection guide.

Duke College?
Our colleague Mary Mellon is currently reprocessing the Benjamin Duke Papers to provide more refined description. Among the many fascinating pieces of correspondence within the collection, she has found a letter, dated November 16, 1896, from Trustee A. P. Tyer to Ben Duke. In it, he makes a not-so-modest proposal: that Duke give a $500,000 endowment and that the school be renamed Duke College.
"The only hope that Trinity College has of ever being endowed is found in the Dukes. I therefore ask that you give the College five hundred thousand dollars as endowment and allow the Trustees to name it "Duke College."
In 1896, the school was just four years old in its new Durham location. There was great concern about longterm viability, despite the generosity of the Duke family up to that point, including providing the funds to bring the school to Durham. $500,000 in 1896 would have been around $13 million in today's money.
To sweeten the deal, Mr. Tyer added,
"This will forever take away the feeling of uncertainty, make the college an assured success forever, put the Dukes in front of all southern benefactors, largely increase the number of students, bring even a better class of patronage to the college, make it possible for others to give to it, be the greatest monument any southern man will ever build, be a perpetual benefit and blessing to the human family, and constantly glorify God your Father."
Ben Duke remained a steady and heavily involved benefactor, but never made a gift at the level requested in the letter. The month after this letter was received, Washington Duke, Ben's father, gave a $100,000 endowment, contingent on women being admitted on equal footing with men. In 1924, Ben's brother, James B. Duke, established the Duke Endowment, which helped fund a massive expansion of the college, and led to the renaming of the school—not to Duke College, but to Duke University.

Cradle as Laboratory: Psychology Notebooks in the Duke Libraries
The practice of experimentation on one's own children belongs to a somewhat queasy tradition in psychology that embraces parenthood as an opportunity for "natural experiment." Psychologists throughout the twentieth century have kept tabs on their children's development, blending the pride of parenthood with the detached methodology of science. So it's no surprise to find in the papers of William McDougall, the first head of Duke University's psychology department, extensive notes on four of his children, Angus, Duncan, Janet, and Leslie. Just how the disciplinary practices of psychology in the early twentieth century filtered into McDougall's child-rearing becomes apparent when comparing the McDougall journals to a contemporaneous laboratory notebook from a psychology student, Walter R. Miles, in the Rubenstein Library's History of Medicine Collections.
These images depict similar experiments in localizing sensation. The experimenter stimulated a spot on the subject's hand or arm using a sharp object (Miles used the point of a compass); a few seconds later, the subject had to indicate, either on the actual hand or on a diagram, where he or she believed the point had been applied. The experimenter recorded both points, noting any discrepancy between the actual and perceived site of stimulation. For Miles, this was a bread-and-butter exercise in the methods of scientific psychology.
The McDougall image comes with a twist, since the experimental subjects were his young children. Rather than illustrating basic principles on a standard psychological subject, McDougall was inquiring specifically into the changing sensory and perceptual abilities of his own kids. The diagram of his son Duncan's hand and arm are part of a record-keeping practice that encompassed everything from the children's recognition of colors to their fear of bears.
The fact that these methods traveled a fairly direct path from the lab to the McDougall home, and from the "standardized" psychological subject to the developing child, reveals itself in the telling visual differences between the two sets of experimental notes: Miles's experiment, neatly taken down in a lab notebook, uses ruler-drawn grid lines and a smoothly-traced outline of the hand and arm, while McDougall's journal bears indications of its setting in the domestic scene of child-rearing: the data is recorded in grid-less, slanted columns, and the outline of the hand is traced hastily, as though the subject was loath to hold still.

The Duke Family's New Ride
I have been giving the collections of James B. Duke and Benjamin N. Duke, industrialists and benefactors of Duke University, a little TLC this summer. One of my most enjoyable finds so far has been a set of two candid photographs of Washington Duke that turned up in the the James B. Duke papers. Mr. Duke appears to be contemplating a bicycle, the handlebars of which are just visible at the bottom of the photos. The bicycle is likely the one that his son, Benjamin, purchased for $45.25, according to an 1894 letter from the Benjamin N. Duke papers. It would be interesting to know what was going through Washington's head at the time when the pictures were taken. Possibly, "You really expect me to ride this thing?"
Like many members of the Duke community, I am accustomed to seeing Washington Duke in his dignified, solemn armchair pose (e.g. the statue at the entrance to East Campus). But, it's nice to know that "Wash" got to have a bit of fun every once in a while.

BlackFin CrossFit's diamond-sculpted instructors push flagging bodies to the pinnacle of athleticism with intense and varied CrossFit training classes. The On-Ramp program's coaches introduce newcomers to a wide-ranging repertoire of functional movements that can add strength to a weightlifting routine, endurance to a daily jog, and power to a weekly square-dance circle. During each 45- to 60-minute class, trainers pit participants against a gauntlet of equipment that may include weights, medicine balls, gymnastic equipment, and kettlebells. Every sequence is scalable to each attendee's experience and abilities, ensuring an appropriate workout for everyone from grandparents to Olympic-hopeful grandparents.
As a child, Sam Crosby looked forward to being left alone in the house. That's because her living room was her first judgment-free dance studio, where she practiced the moves that led her to become a Zumba instructor later in life. Though she initially taught a group of eight, her student base soon grew to include 75 people, prompting Sam to expand her dance-fitness repertoire. She researched several popular routines on DVD but was consistently unimpressed with the generic music in the background. To really motivate people, she reasoned, she would have to create her own classes, set to the songs that motivated her.
Uninhibited Fitness spans a wide spectrum of musical genres with its empowering curriculum. From the heavy-metal chords that guide martial-arts punches to the hip-hop beats beneath cardio drills, the songs encourage students to shimmy off all trepidation. Nightclub lighting showcases pole spins and Zumba steps on the studio's dance floor, where Sam recreates the liberated feel of her living-room performances without relying on an ottoman to lead.
Before he became a certified personal trainer in 2008, Daniel Cone served in the US Army for two years in an infantry division that specializes in parachute operations. Today, he uses his military training to lead boot-camp classes and personal-fitness programs at Xtreme Fitness. The indoor and outdoor boot-camp classes incorporate weight training and a range of exercises such as lunges, jumping jacks, and shoulder dips. Daniel or another certified instructor performs individual body adjustments throughout the class and modifies exercises in order to accommodate all fitness levels. Xtreme Fitness enhances personal-fitness programs with cross training, fitness evaluations, and nutrition and lifestyle coaching. For a more relaxing workout, clients can take a morning yoga class or do pushups during a bubble bath.
With its boxing ring, heavy bags, and padded floors, First Coast Full Contact looks like a traditional boxing gym. However, it strays from tradition with the family-oriented environment the trainers and students bring to the space. They hold classes in kickboxing, wrestling, boxing, and marital arts for students aged 5 and older. With an emphasis on fitness as well as self-defense, many classes burn up to 800 calories per session. To complement the workouts classes offer, the gym is furnished with a variety of exercise machines and a fully equipped weight room.

Tag: Heisman Trophy
Roundup of Miami Hurricanes named to 2014 preseason watch lists
- 3:41 pm Monday, July 7th, 2014 by Matt Porter
With the dog days of the college football offseason comes the release of preseason watch lists for awards, in which selection committees for various postseason trophies name the players they'll be keeping an eye on this fall.
Over the next two weeks, committees for 15 major college football awards will announce their lists. Being named means a player may be in the running for the award in question later in the year. It's essentially a measure of who is expected to be an impact player this season.
The committees usually name somewhere between 50 and 75 players to their lists, so keeping up can be cumbersome. Here, we"ll keep a list of Hurricanes (as well as ACC/players of local interest) who were selected.

About DGL
Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) has been widely used in Europe. In deglycyrrhizinated licorice, the glycyrrhizin -a compound associated with high blood pressure-has been removed.
Study has found that while the acid-blocking drug cimetidine (Tagamet) led to quicker symptom relief, chewable deglycyrrinizated licorice (DGL) tablets were just as effective at healing stomach ulcers and keeping them healed without side effect. Chewable DGL is also helpful in treating ulcers of the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. Capsules of DGL may not work for ulcers; apparently DGL must mix with saliva to be activated.
DGL can be used to speed up healing of painful canker sore inside the mouth. Chew the tablet into a paste, then use your tongue to coat the sore with the paste. The paste will eventually dissolve in your mouth-repeat this four times a day. DGL appears to work by thickening the mucosal lining of your mouth, where canker sores often form.
Scientific Evidence
Two controlled studies suggest that regular use of DGL can heal ulcers as effectively as drugs in the Zantac family. 7,8 However, DGLmust be taken continuously or the ulcer can be expected to return.

Carphone Warehouse and TalkTalk split
By Barry Collins
Posted on 29 Mar 2010 at 07:41
The Carphone Warehouse and its ISP TalkTalk will today complete a demerger.
It means the two businesses will be listed separately on the stock exchange and run as independent companies.
Carphone Warehouse will continue with its retail operations, which include a 50% stake in the European arm of electronics retailer Best Buy. The group is set to open a series of large consumer electronics stores across the UK and Europe.
TalkTalk last year completed the acquisition of Tiscali to become Britain's biggest domestic broadband provider. The company had previously acquired the UK arm of AOL.
The TalkTalk Group may elect to make capital investment in developing its own fibre network which could significantly impact the TalkTalk Group's financial performance
Analysts claim the TalkTalk business was worth 60% of combined company, according to a report in the Financial Times. However, the demerger papers filed by TalkTalk admit there's a risk of the company losing value with the launch of high-speed fibre broadband networks in the UK.
"Uncertainty surrounding the building of and/or access to fibre networks, implemented by BT and others including the funding and price of using such a network, are risk factors for the TalkTalk Group," the report states.
"If access to the proposed fibre network is not available at a viable price, or with appropriate features, the TalkTalk Group may elect to make capital investment in developing its own fibre network which could significantly impact the TalkTalk Group's financial performance."
TalkTalk is also concerned about its reliance on BT's wholelsale broadband network. "The nature of fixed-line broadband provision means that the TalkTalk Group is reliant on specific network infrastructure and access to local exchanges that are owned and controlled by BT," the company states. "The TalkTalk Group is active in taking measures to ensure the pricing of products and calls is set at a fair level and that the regulation and control of the network infrastructure is fair."
I hope they do lose value...
Personally I'd be happy to see TalkTalk lose all it's value and cease trading.
They just installed some LLU equipement in our exchange and have sales reps going door to door giving false information about competing ISPs in the area (example... according to them Sky have cut all their BB packages to a max of 2Meg, regardless of what contract you have). A company that uses these practices shouldn't be allowed to trade.

Happened here too
Coincidentally, they cam round on Saturday here too quotiing the same lines. Even after I politely declined, the chap insisted on trying to sell to me. He moved on only after I told him "I've been polite and told you I'm not interested, do you want me to take this further?"

Hi While He Was Napping readers! I'm Lisa Mabey, and I'm back to share another tutorial with you! I blog at Mabey She Made It about DIY projects, crafting, and sewing.
Have you ever gotten a new bed set and wished that there was a matching body pillow cover? My mom likes to put a body pillow on every bed instead of separate pillows, so when she got a new set, she asked if I'd turn the two shams included into a body pillow cover. I thought she was brilliant. So I did. Here's how I did it if you'd like to follow along! Here are the shams I started with:
First, I measured the body pillow. It's (obviously) a different shape than your shams, so we'll have to alter them just a bit. My body pillow was a little shorter than the combined length of the two shams, so I needed to shorten the shams. I cut the opposite ends of the shams open so that the combined length of the shams was about 1" longer than the length of the body pillow.
Then I turned one sham inside out, and stuffed one inside the other so the right sides were together.
Now pin the front of the shams together (right sides together) making sure to align the design of the shams and the top and bottom seams.
Then sew all the way around to make a long tube. I also measured the height of the pillow, and adjusted the height of my shams to be 1" bigger than the pillow once the two shams were connected. Now, all you have to do is slide your body pillow into one of the envelope slots (I actually used both slots to help get such a long pillow inside the case) and make your bed. Here it is before:
And after the sham transformation!
It's a pretty easy fix, but I love how it gives you more freedom to dress your bed how you'd like while not having to buy an extra body pillow cover. And it's fewer pillows to take off the bed at the the end of the night. I like that part too! If you'd like to see more of what I'm up to, please come visit me over at Mabey She Made It!
Genius, didn't I tell you!?

The Art Assignment - #3 Take Two
So I really enjoyed making my first attempt at a gif that describes something Intimate and Indespensible. I really like the gif format for showing how something is repetitive and never ending. A constant loop.
For my first gif I explored my creative process, for the second I wanted to return to something I had already explored, and keep coming back to - Meditation and the Labyrinth. There is no wrong way to walk a labyrinth, there is only the path, as there is no wrong way to meditate, just the path through yourself. Though I no longer live near a labyrinth to walk when my mind gets too full, I have learned other ways to still my buzzing mind. I have found that either my hands are moving frenzy and my mind is still, or my hands are laying still while my mind runs in circles. And so I must turn to my drawing, my knitting, my little pocket labyrinth to keep the crazy at bay. It is so indispensable, my mind would run out of room without my meditations, and so intimate, to let people know what is driving my thoughts and how fragile my hold on them sometimes seems. IT is a scary world to let someone else into.
At first I did not like how fast the gif moves - it does not give the feel of a calm or peaceful meditation. But i think its probably pretty accurate. I run to my meditations when my frenzied mind is about to take over. The calm comes later.

A Guide to the Producers and Wines Behind a Revolution in Taste
moreA comprehensive guide to the must-know wines and producers of California's "new generation," and the story of the iconoclastic young winemakers who have changed the face of California viniculture in recent years.
The New California Wine is the untold story of the California wine industry: the young, innovative producers who are rewriting the rules of contemporary winemaking; their quest to express the uniqueness of California terroir; and the continuing battle to move the state away from the overly-technocratic, reactionary practices of its recent past. Jon Bonné writes from the front lines of the California wine revolution, where he has access to the fascinating stories, philosophies, and techniques of top producers.

Man charged in fatal shooting of Chicago teen arrested in L.A.
BY LEEANN SHELTON Staff Reporter April 10, 2013 6:30PM
Updated: April 10, 2013 7:32PM
A man charged with murdering a Chicago teenager in the Back of the Yards neighborhood last summer was arrested in Los Angeles and is expected to return to Chicago for trial.
Martin "Garbage" Ruiz, an alleged member of the Latin King LaRaza gang, fled Illinois after the fatal shooting of Jose Ruvalcaba, 15, on Aug. 12, 2012, according to documents filed previously in U.S. District Court and unsealed Wednesday.
Ruvalcaba died less than a half-hour after he was shot in the abdomen, groin and left arm near his home in the 1900 block of West 47th Street, Chicago Police said at the time.
Authorities identified Ruiz, 24, as a suspect and issued a warrant for his arrest on a first-degree murder charge in January, according to an FBI release.
After investigators in Chicago learned that Ruiz could be in Los Angeles, FBI officials and Los Angeles Police stopped a man matching his description and arrested Ruiz on Friday, the release said.
Ruiz appeared in court Monday in Los Angeles, according to the FBI.

Topics: Politics, Health Reform, States
Nov 06, 2009
Democratic Senate leaders are trying to consolidate support within their own caucus.
The Wall Street Journal reports on Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., who says she generally supports the health overhaul efforts, but would like to see more items like higher federal Medicaid payments for her state, increased coverage for foster children and more help for teaching hospitals in Louisiana before she commits to voting for the bill — all while insisting Democrats lower the cost of the bill. "As Democratic leaders enter the intensive phase of their drive to pass health legislation, they must satisfy 60 Mary Landrieus in the Senate — every Democrat and the two Democratic-friendly independents, each with individual priorities — as they try to hold together a fragile coalition with no room for error." Others like Landrieu include Sens. Evan Bayh, D-Ind.; Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark.; and Bob Menendez, D-N.J. (Bendavid, 11/6). CongressDaily reports that some Democrats also still have concerns over allowing states to opt out of the government-run public option for health insurance. "Some Democrats wary that the opt-out will effectively become a national public option are pushing for Reid to consider an alternative, such as the so-called trigger backed by Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine. (Landrieu) and Ben Nelson, D-Neb., who have not committed to vote for cloture and end debate on the healthcare bill, still hope to convince Reid to reconsider inclusion of the opt-out in the bill he takes to the floor" (Friedman, 11/6). Finally, Roll Call reports that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid met with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel late Wednesday "to discuss how to get a health care reform bill through his chamber by year's end, according to Democratic sources." (Drucker, 11/5).

Legionnaire's Disease linked to driving, screenwash
The Health Protection Agency is calling for more research to see if Legionnaire's Disease is connected to not using screenwash in your windscreen water reservoir. An HPA spokeswoman said: "This preliminary HPA study suggests a strong association between a lack of screen wash in wiper fluid and the incidence of Legionnaires' …
Study sponsored by Halfords, perchance?
How can it be both "uncommon" and ...
... yet still present in 20 percent of cars? I smell "screenwash" marketers about ... I dread to think what's going to happen when someone with a BA in Marketing discovers that Anthrax is detectable in soil samples taken from virtually 100% of all cattle ranches, world-wide ...
Re : How can it be both "uncommon" and ..
One possibility is that it isn't very infective to the general population although very dangerous when established or that the jets don't produce a very effective aerosol especially if it has to go through the ventilation system first.
Alcohol should work too
Industrial alcohol is bactericidal at 5 - 15%. It also helps to clean windows.
but if that start blowing through your ventilation system...
you won't pass the breathalyser test!
Mis-leading title FTW!
Who uses plain water in screenwash tanks anyway?
I've never used plain water by choice in my screenwash tank as it is rather less than useless at actually washing the screen. I've also seen too many dead washer pumps from trying to pump frozen water through to the screen.
No mention of smelly aircon systems?
Would have thought there are more germs in car aircon.
"germs" in car aircon
I don't see why. The only water involved in a car air conditioner is that which condenses on the evaporator and will dry out between uses. The type of air conditioner that causes Legionnaire's Disease has a permanent body of warm water which is kept topped-up as it is sprayed around and lost due to evaporation. Those are the conditions the bacteria will flourish and spread.
Windscreen wipers are a non-story
This is a moribund news article, I watched the BBC News video earlier and it really is a dead donkey. I think almost everyone always uses screenwash to some extent when they top their washer bottle up; the amount of crap and grime that lands on windscreens in daily driving is so bad these days you need some kind of surfactant and detergent to work with the water, even in summer. I personally use a 80/20 mix in summer and 60/40 or even stronger concentrations in harsh winters.
I can't be bothered to explain this in more depth as I'm at work, but a poorly maintained aircon/climate control in a car is as dangerous, if not more, to your health.
http://www.lvvservices.com/aircon.htm explains it fairly well. Rule of thumb: if you have smelly aircon, time to get it recharged and cleaned.
Or just pour some beer into it...
Not if the A/C drain gets blocked, as can commonly happen to non-professionally maintained vehicles where even the most diligent owner may simply not know the A/C drain needs to be checked periodically.
Learned this from Click and Clack by listening to Car Talk. You can find 'em on the web.
Alcohol, dish liquid and a splash of ammonia will all help get bug goo off your viewport better than plain water will. As a side benefit, no Legionnaire's can survive all those chemicals.
Makes sense when you think about it...
The drain below the windshield/screen is typically not far removed from the air intake of the HVAC system in a typical vehicle. I'd guess that there is a baffle to keep liquid from being spritzed out of the air outlets, but that's about it. The demand for air is satisfied by pulling it through that drain/vent grid underneath the windshield/screen. If you're using water for the washer unit and it's stagnant, there can be almost no doubt that bacteria will find its way into the passenger compartment through the ventilation system.
As far as bacteria growing in the A/C evaporator coil goes, consider the following...air from a wide variety of sources gets pulled in over that coil, bringing with it dust, pollutants and some bacteria. As most modern cars have tightly packed engine compartments (where the majority of the A/C and air handling components are located), a lot of heat builds up in there when you've stopped after enough driving to warm the vehicle up. The warm, damp environment inside the evaporator coil box is conducive to bacteria growth. That's why the air coming out of the A/C vents may be smelly when you first turn the system on.
The 1996-2000 Chrysler minivans have a big problem with this.
It's easy enough to stop this, however. About a mile before you reach your destination, turn the A/C off and let the evaporator coil dry out a little bit. Even on a wickedly humid day, the incoming air can still dry the evaporator just enough to help alleviate the problem.
yeah right
First of all, no "professional" driver would ever use plain water in his washer bottle, its useless at best.
Secondly, tap water in the uk has chorides in it to prevent it from going stagnant. in a closed system like a car screen wash, it would take months for the stuff to evaporate off to a level that would allow bacteria to breed.
Can't even....
..... have a decent shower either by the sound of it. Latest reports say that we're all liable to serious lung diseases caused by dirty shower heads.
We'll need to shower in screen-wash by the looks of it.
It's about time some entreprenurial engineer overhauled the way we keep our windscreens clear. Wipers seem somehow antiquated.
@handle, seems logical but in reality, car A/C systems used to have a lot of problems of having musty, moldy odors. In some cases the system was redesigned so the condensate is drained out instead of building up. In other cases, on the newer computerized A/C systems they will run the climate control to help make sure it's all dried out.
As for Legionaires being uncommon, indeed I think it's not particularly virulent so there has to be an extraordinarily high concentration for it to be catching.
I wouldn't dream of using water here, that's for sure! It has gotten down to -40 here (-40F=-40C btw...) and gets down to 0F (about -20C) almost every winter, I'd be mad to even think of it.
Re : yeah right
But the bacteria were there !
At what concentration and how viable is another matter
Non-science scare story
The figures from the study are 164 cases in 2009, where 22 where from outbreaks which leaves 142 where the disease was aquired in the commuity of which 28 might have been prevented.
So a very small risk of getting legionnaires in the first place.

Here are just a few of the shots from the day at The Poly in Falmouth. This was such a chilled out shoot and I feel as though we still managed to deliver some incredible photographs. The idea of mystery within the man was something both Gavin and I felt we should push within the narrative and styling to get a feel for this wealthy but intriguing man. Inspired by Dior Homme and an old Hollywood vibe.
Gavin submitted these images to the Vogue Italia website and they were snapped up straight away !
An overall great shoot to be a part of and I hope we collaborate again in the not-so distant future.
Go ahead, check out his website:
Hey Guys
Sorry for the delays (I moved back down to Falmouth straight after LCM and I haven't had chance to unpack everything and sort my life out again).
Anyway, I'm back now, settled in to university life again and ready to get back to blogging.
I had such an incredible time at the London Collections Menswear shows and I got the opportunity to go to some big events and some amazing shows.
Where do I begin? Well, I went to London primarily to meet up with a Fashion House about doing work experience in the near future (and it went well).
After that I figured I should go see some shows as I had the time and come on, its Menswear?!
As a lot of you already know, I met David Gandy back in March 2012 and as we've kept in touch, he's been a really generous and kind person towards me and I cannot thank him enough for the opportunities he has given me at the Menswear shows.
I was waiting outside the Topman Show Space venue (for the Topman Design show), hoping to get in despite not having a ticket. A sudden blitz of camera flashes went off behind me and there he was, David had arrived. I said a quick hello and asked how he was doing, he then asked me if I had a ticket to the show (and unfortunately, no I didn't) he then pulled me to the front of the queue, and went inside, by this point everyone was looking at me, he then came back outside (to more snaps and shouts) and he just casually looks me in the eye and says "Come on Harry, you're in"… Well, as you could probably have guessed, I was rapturous! As I wandered into what looked like a very chic warehouse building, I was approached by a security guard; Andrew from South Africa, who noticed I was with David and asked me "Where is your ticket?" By this point I was terrified and I notified him that David had got me into the show and he just said "No problem, any other shows you want to come see, just give me a shout on the door and I will sort you out". And that is exactly what happened, I turned up at the MAN collection later that day, grabbed myself a free beer, met with David again and said thank you to Andrew.
I had lots of other things to do afterwards so I didn't get the chance to attend any other shows, maybe next time. Day 1 complete!
The second day I had a lot of things to do, so I was wandering here there and everywhere around London (bit of last minute shopping and purchasing as many fashion magazines as my wallet and my shoulder could handle).
I decided to get check out the Hospital Club location where I met up with Callum Watt (better known as Maketh-The-Man; jewellery designer and menswear blogger) and we decided to have a nosey around the show rooms, check out the accessories room and the clothing rooms. After that we decided to go to the champagne reception and press event where David Gandy was talking about his new Comic Relief campaign, the "Blue-Steel Appeal", taken from the pose made famous by Ben Stiller in the film Zoolander. This was a great chance to meet other bloggers, fashion fans and press and again, David came over to say hello and invited me and Callum to watch Zoolander in the small cinema room upstairs. (Another champagne reception) so by this point I was starting to chill out and enjoy my beverages. Again, another fantastic experience and such a bizarre event, watching a film during Menswear Collections that mocks male models and the fashion industry, with the UK's leading male super model and a room full of fashionistas, but my god, what a fun night it was, all topped off with a few more drinks and a chinese!
[Pictures to be uploaded shortly]
Charles Rufus Felix Speed, known better to you and me as Charley Speed, Models 1 superstar and judge on Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model.
I met Charley at Clothes Show Live, I had the pleasure to work backstage dressing the contestants of BINTM for their catwalk shows. It was there where I was beckoned to sew a button onto a jacket by Mr Speed himself. Yelling at me in a joking fashion for my lack of home economic skills (but an appreciation of my fashion). It was after this harrowing first acknowledgement, (he referred to me as a "helmet") when I started talking to Charley between shows (as he immersed himself into his Bad Piggies app on his phone) which seemed to be the only free time we had.
I managed to squeeze in a quick interview around all the chaos of hair & beauty, the frantic dressing of the BINTM girls and the management team yelling out show times and requirements.
I can honestly say that Charley Speed is a very open and friendly man, he seemed well up for a laugh and didn't seemed fussed by the hustle bustle that was going on around him.
I loved working with Charley and the Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model girls and would love to work with him again on another project… If you're reading this Mr Speed, contact me !

During LFW in September, I got the opportunity to work backstage dressing models (thanks to Claudia Behnke) for Jeffrey Michael's S/S13 collection.
It was an incredible experience as this was the first show I had worked at for London Fashion Week. It was such a hectic event, but I thoroughly enjoyed the escapades I got up to and we had such a phenomenal team to work with (and some of the most beautiful models you have ever seen).
Here's a picture of myself and model, Sonja Wohlmuth. I felt privileged to wear the large butterfly for this photograph as it proved to be a show-stopping piece of the collection (worn by Sonja with the finale gown).
Here's a link to Jeffrey's website… you will not be disappointed!
Olympic themed shoot by Elliot Munns (Fashion Photography @ UCF)
This shoot has been one of the most tiring days as well as the most fun, I wore many different outfits and modelled for multiple fashion photographers.
I had fun working with Elliot, blaring music out and just getting on with it, after my look had been styled, we just got on with it without the need of a huge team.
This pants were designed by Chris Cardy (Performance Sportswear @ UCF), there was a top that went with as it was actually designed for a woman… but I think we managed to make it work with the styling.
I would really like to work with him again on a shoot at some point… This guy has some really exciting work that I think you should check out:
