ANGLICO Marines call in close-air support and naval gunfire in support of U.S. Army and allied operations. The 3d ANGLICO, a reserve unit from Long Beach, Calif. with a detachment from West Palm Beach, Fla. utilized the air station as a base of operations from June 17 to July 2. This year's two week training evolution was a unique as the organization's special mission. Although the Long Beach and West Palm Beach reserve units comprise the 3d ANGLICO, their visit here marks the first time the entire company has been able to train together as a unit. The two-week period covered a spectrum of training exercises. The airborne leathernecks trained in everything from administrative duties and air assault, to truck driving and calling-in supporting arms during live-fire exercises.

After you learn a few basics and prepare yourself and your envi- ronment according to my simple guidelines, all you have to do is follow a few procedures. I hate to say this, but if I can make candy, you can make candy. When I train new staff members in my candy shop, I observe that, at first, they’re hesitant and overly careful about handling the product, as if it were very fragile. I assure them that they will not hurt the candy by being aggres- sive. I don’t want them to be afraid of the candy, and you shouldn’t be afraid, either. Most products you make are quite tolerant, and you can stir them hard, slap them, or just generally be rough with them. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy, and don’t worry about making a bit of a mess. Have fun, because you’re in charge. To make a point, when someone observes that I have a spot of chocolate on my face, I dab even more on and ask, “Where, here?” Then I touch another spot withCOPYRIGHTED a big dab and ask, “Or was it here?” MATERIAL Before I finish, I have chocolate all over my face, but the new person is relaxed, confident that I am crazy and not worried about making a mess.

  • Portrayals of Stuttering in Film, Television, and Comic Books
    The Visualization of the Twisted Tongue: Portrayals of Stuttering in Film, Television, and Comic Books JEFFREY K. JOHNSON HERE IS A WELL-ESTABLISHED TRADITION WITHIN THE ENTERTAINMENT and publishing industries of depicting mentally and physically challenged characters. While many of the early renderings were sideshowesque amusements or one-dimensional melodramas, numerous contemporary works have utilized characters with disabilities in well- rounded and nonstereotypical ways. Although it would appear that many in society have begun to demand more realistic portrayals of characters with physical and mental challenges, one impediment that is still often typified by coarse caricatures is that of stuttering. The speech impediment labeled stuttering is often used as a crude formulaic storytelling device that adheres to basic misconceptions about the condition. Stuttering is frequently used as visual shorthand to communicate humor, nervousness, weakness, or unheroic/villainous characters. Because almost all the monographs written about the por- trayals of disabilities in film and television fail to mention stuttering, the purpose of this article is to examine the basic categorical formulas used in depicting stuttering in the mainstream popular culture areas of film, television, and comic books.' Though the subject may seem minor or unimportant, it does in fact provide an outlet to observe the relationship between a physical condition and the popular conception of the mental and personality traits that accompany it. One widely accepted definition of stuttering is, "the interruption of the flow of speech by hesitations, prolongation of sounds and blockages sufficient to cause anxiety and impair verbal communication" (Carlisle 4). The Journal of Popular Culture, Vol. 41, No.

  • Burt Reynolds, Sally Field and Jackie Gleason Hit the Highway As 1977'S
    * * MEDIA ALERT * * MEDIA ALERT * * MEDIA ALERT * * May 3, 2017 Burt Reynolds, Sally Field and Jackie Gleason Hit the Highway as 1977’s Blockbuster Action-Comedy Smokey and the Bandit Returns to U.S. Cinemas May 21 and 24 This Iconic Film Returns to Big Screens Nationwide for 40th Anniversary as Part of TCM Big Screen Classics Series WHAT: The summer of 1977 might be best known for a certain intergalactic adventure, but across the country the other summertime smash combined three things America couldn’t get enough of: Burt Reynolds, CB radio and Coors beer. Forty years later, Smokey and the Bandit makes its way back to movie screens nationwide for two days only on Sunday, May 21 and Wednesday, May 24 as part of the year-long TCM Big Screen Classics series from Turner Classic Movies and Fathom Events. This screening will also include specially- produced commentary from TCM host Ben Mankiewicz, both before and after the feature. “The Bandit” (Reynolds) has 28 hours to drive a truckload of Coors beer from Texarkana, Texas, to Atlanta – while doing everything he can to avoid the relentless pursuit of “Smokey,” aka Sheriff Buford T. Justice (Jackie Gleason), while accompanied by runaway bride “Frog” (Sally Field). But the story takes a backseat to the stunt-driven action of director Hal Needham, the still-sizzling on-screen chemistry of Reynolds and Field, and the good-ol’-boy antics of the film’s easy-going cast, including Jerry Reed, Paul Williams, Pat McCormick and Mike Henry.

  • Thermal Behavior Characterization of a Sugar-Based Model System and Commercial Confections Across the Stages of Sugar Cooking
    THERMAL BEHAVIOR CHARACTERIZATION OF A SUGAR-BASED MODEL SYSTEM AND COMMERCIAL CONFECTIONS ACROSS THE STAGES OF SUGAR COOKING BY MELISSA WANG THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Food Science and Human Nutrition with a concentration in Food Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Adviser: Professor Shelly J. Schmidt Abstract The stages of sugar cooking, although long-existing and widespread in the confection industry, are lacking in thermal behavior profile descriptions, which are crucial to confection functionality. Thermal behavior parameters, such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), are indicative of confection material structure and textural behavior. Tg plays an important role in governing the quality and shelf life of sugar-based confection, and is influenced by moisture content, formulation, and other factors. This study aimed to connect thermal behavior parameters to the stages of sugar cooking. Thus, the objective of this research was to investigate the thermal behavior of the six stages of sugar cooking, as well as representative commercial confections from each stage. A model sugar-based confectionery system was developed and representative commercial confections belonging to each stage of sugar cooking were selected. The model system consisted of a 70:30 ratio of sucrose to corn syrup and a 70:30 ratio of solids to moisture. To investigate the thermal behavior of the stages of sugar cooking, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), moisture content, and water activity analyses were conducted for the model system and representative commercial confections. The average Tg midpoint of the model system increased from thread to hard crack stage, corresponding to loss of water from increased cooking time and temperature.

  • Candy Temperature Chart Having a Good Thermometer Is Important When You’Re in the Candy-Making Business
    Candy Temperature Chart Having a good thermometer is important when you’re in the candy-making business. A perfect batch of caramel depends on reaching a desirable tem- perature before removing from the heat. The faster and more accurate your thermometer, the better the candy. Makes sense, right? The good news is, you don’t have to go out and buy a fancy candy thermometer if you’ve already got the Super-Fast, Splash-Proof Thermapen from ThermoWorks in your bag of kitchen tricks. Cold Water Test: As a sugar syrup is cooked, water boils away, the sugar concentration increases and the temperature rises. The highest temperature that the sugar syrup reaches tells you what the syrup will be like when it cools. In fact, that’s how each of the temperature stages discussed below is named. Bind agent for fruit pastes Thread A spoonful of sugar drizzled over a plate forms a fine, thin thread. This 230-235F stage makes a syrup, not a candy (106-112C) Fudge, Fondant, Creams, Penuche, Maple, etc. When a small amount of sugar syrup is dropped into very cold water 235-240F Softball and forms a ball that does not hold its shape when pressed with your (112-116C) fingers.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
