This was the front page story of the North County Times, a local paper in the Carlsbad area. Their sister publication, The Californian, published the same story. Unfortunately, there's no online version of the story. I was sent PDF files of the two stories.
The Postcard
A postally unused Cameracolour postcard published by J. Salmon Ltd. of Sevenoaks. The card has a divided back.
The narrow-boat on the left is being weighed by a weighing machine that was originally used on the Glamorganshire Canal. (..... Why is it important to know the weight of a narrow-boat? Answers on a postcard please).
Stoke Bruerne
Stoke Bruerne is a small village and in Northamptonshire, 10 miles (16 km) north of Milton Keynes. The village is typical of this area of south Northamptonshire, containing many traditional stone and thatched cottages.
The village's main claim to fame is its situation on the Grand Union Canal, making it a favourite destination for tourists. In the 2001 census, the population was split 196 male and 199 female in 169 households.
The nearby country estate of Stoke Park along Shutlanger Road is occasionally open to the public in August, but all that remains of the main house are the two east and west wings known as the Stoke Park Pavilions.
Walks
Many public footpaths cross the area around Stoke Bruerne. One such walk, taking in Grafton Regis, was the subject of a Daily Telegraph article. Other walks in and around Northampton are mentioned in the County Council Right of way site.
Stoke Bruerne Canal Museum
The village is home to one of the three museums owned and run by Canal & River Trust. The others are at Ellesmere Port and Gloucester Docks.
The museum is housed in a restored corn mill at the top of a flight of canal locks. The museum tells the story of Britain's inland waterways and the people who worked on them. It provides an insight into the transport system which was fundamental to the industrial revolution in Britain.
There are working models and 3-D displays, including a model of the short-lived inclined-plane mechanical lift at Foxton in Leicestershire.
Exhibits include models of working boats including narrow boats, barges, butties and tugs, painted ware and canal crafts, traditional clothing, canal-side signs and specialist tools.
The Blisworth Tunnel
About half a mile north of the village is the south portal of Blisworth tunnel - accessible by a walk along the old towpath The tunnel is 3,075 yards (2,812 m) long and is the longest wide, freely navigable tunnel in Europe. The tunnel was awarded a Transport Trust 'Red Wheel' in recognition of its industrial heritage and importance on the 22nd. August 2014 (the 30th. anniversary of the reopening of the tunnel in 1984). The Red Wheel is on the blacksmith's forge in Stoke Bruerne.
Stoke Bruerne's Facilities
There are two canal-side public houses, The Boat Inn (on the postcard), and The Navigation, both serving a variety of meals and drinks. There is a restaurant/takeaway, The Spice of Bruerne, various bed and breakfast facilities and tearooms.
The village attracts many visitors all year round, and especially during the summer months. A variety of boat trips may be booked. Most of the time there is plenty of activity on the canal, with boats going through the locks regularly and plenty going in and out of the tunnel.
The Railway
Stoke Bruerne had its own railway station, part of the Stratford-upon-Avon and Midland Junction Railway. It was misnamed Stoke Bruern. The station building has been converted to a private house and is just outside the village. The line of the railway, and station platform, are still visible and the Blisworth road has a railway bridge still in position near the former station.
Stoke Bruerne in the Media
Stoke Bruerne appears, along with neighbouring Blisworth, in the Ealing Studios film 'Painted Boats' (1945), filmed at the end of World War II and directed by Charles Crichton whose notable successes include 'The Lavender Hill Mob' (1951) and 'A Fish Called Wanda' (1988).
J. Salmon Ltd.
Alas, J. Salmon no longer produce postcards. Having churned out small coloured rectangles of card from its factory in Kent for more than 100 years, the company stopped publishing postcards in 2017.
The fifth-generation brothers who still ran the company sent a letter to their clients in the autumn of 2017, advising them that the presses would cease printing at the end of 2017, with their remaining stock being sold off throughout the following year.
The firm’s story began in 1880, when the original J. Salmon acquired a printing business on Sevenoaks high street, and produced a collection of twelve black and white scenes of the town.
In 1912, the business broke through into the big time by commissioning the artist Alfred Robert Quinton (1853 - 1934), who produced 2,300 scenes of British life for them up until his death.
From Redruth to King’s Lynn, his softly coloured, highly detailed watercolours of rosy milkmaids, bucolic pumphouses and picturesque harbour towns earned him a place in the hearts of the public, despite references to Alfred's 'chocolate-box art' by some art critics.
J. Salmon also produced photographs and cheery oils of seaside imagery captioned with a garrulous enthusiasm: “Eat More Chips!”, “Sun, Sand & Sea”, “We’re Going Camping!”
It commissioned the comic artist Reg Maurice (who often worked under the pseudonym Vera Paterson), to produce pictures of comically bulbous children with cutesy captions, alongside the usual stock images of British towns.
It was this century’s changing habits – and technology – that did for Salmon. Co-managing director Charles Salmon noted:
“People are going for shorter breaks,
not for a fortnight, so you’re back home
before your postcards have arrived."
He barely needed to say that Instagram and Facebook had made their product all but redundant, almost wiping out the entire industry in a decade.
Michelle Abadie, co-director of the John Hinde Collection, said:
“When I heard the news, I was
actually surprised they still existed."
John Hinde was once J Salmon’s biggest rival; it sold 50-60 million postcards a year at its peak in the 1960's, but it, too, shuttered four years previously. The licensing for its rich archive of images was sold off, and repurposed in art books.
However, in one sense, the death of the postcard is overstated. Like vinyl records, our fetish for the physical objects we left behind is already making its presence felt.
Michelle Abadie points out:
“If you go into Waterstones now, they
sell lots of postcards of book covers.
The idea itself isn’t dead – as a
decorative object, people still want
them.”
Imagine my surprise (and excitement) this afternoon when I glanced over at our county's newspaper on my kitchen counter and saw my very own photos printed on the front page! I've been published! :-D
Sorry for the bad copy, I took a picture of it because I couldn't get the scanner to work. Now I have to figure out how to get more copies!
Suspended Animation Classic #79

Taboo
By Michael Vance
As a little boy, when I broke the rules, mother would spank my hand and say, “That’s a No No!” I quickly learned what was taboo. As editors and publishers, Steve Bissette and Nancy O’Connor have broken rules, and my mother would spank more than their hands. Their new horror anthology, “Taboo”, is meant to shock, to disgust, and trigger shudders. In this case, accomplishing two of these three goals isn’t good.
“Taboo” suffers from the same weaknesses that plague every prose anthology, stories that are uneven in quality. A second flaw is that each story is reaching for a different response, a special kind of horror. There’s no single climax, and a reader is left with a vague and jumbled catharsis, especially when the book is read at a single setting. And, finally, readers need full and believable men and women. That’s an almost impossible task within the limited space of a comics short story.
The visual short stories in this collection range from unintelligible (“Catus Water” by Peter Grimes) to excellent. The best of this volume must include “A Touch of Vinyl” by Veitch and Weiner, and “From Hell” by Moore and Campbell.
I spent too much energy trying to understand what was happening in “Catus Water” to feel any sense of suspense or suspension of disbelief. Characterization is non-existant.
The strength of “A Touch of Vinyl” lies in its twisted, black humor as a man’s obsession with a vinyl doll turns into insanity. The power of “From Hell” is its wealth of detail and its luck at being long enough to build suspense and characterization. It’s the only serialized piece in “Taboo”.
Certainly not for the squeamish, “Taboo” is best suited for lovers of horror who can overlook the flaws of their beloved.
“Taboo” #3/$9.95, 128 pages/published by spiderbaby Grafix/available in comics stores.

McCORMICK'S SUMMER HOTEL ON THE SWIFTWATER
Date: Circa 1908
Source Type: Photograph Booklet
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Augusta Anderson, Inland Printing Company
Postmark: Not Applicable
Remark: Libraries holding copies of The Shadowy St. Joe indicate that this souvenir book was published circa 1910. After researching the life of Augusta Anderson, however, it is much more likely that the book was published in 1908 or perhaps 1907. In addition, it is very likely that Augusta Anderson was neither the author of the book nor the photographer of the images contained within the book.
Augusta Anderson was born circa 1885. On February 13, 1908, in Spokane, Spokane County, Washington, Augusta married Fred D. Straffin. Straffin was a fairly well-known photographer who operated from a Spokane photography studio. Straffin published a souvenir book of the Potlatch lumber mill located in Potlatch, Latah County, Idaho, in 1907 that is very similar in design to The Shadowy St. Joe. Straffin also published a souvenir book of St. Maries, Benewah County, Idaho, which is located along the St. Joe River, that is also of nearly the same design as The Shadowy St. Joe.
Straffin was somewhat under duress when he married Augusta Anderson. According to a news item published in the Spokane Daily Chronicle on February 8, 1908, Straffin had been “charged with the seduction of Augusta Anderson, 23 years of age…. Straffin claimed that the girl yielded readily to his request that she live with him, and denied that, except in a joking way, that he had ever promised to marry her. The girl denies these statements emphatically, alleging that she took the matter seriously. She broke down several times in court.”
It is learned from a June 18, 1908, news item also published in the Spokane Daily Chronicle that Straffin and Anderson had married on February 13, 1908, so that Straffin could avoid jail and have the seduction case dismissed in superior court. This same news item mentions that Augusta was now seeking a divorce after four months of marriage because Fred had “been drunk much of the time since their marriage and has not contributed to her support.” It also notes that before the marriage that Augusta had been a waitress and specifically states that “The groom was a photographer. He offered to teach the girl the art of the offer was accepted. Before the girl had mastered her trade, however, Straffin was arrested for intimate relations with her, and was bound over to the superior court to answer to the charge.”
The 1908 divorce case apparently was dismissed since there appears in the October 11, 1910, issue of The Press, published in Spokane, a notice of a pending divorce suit between Augusta and Fred D. Straffin. The Spokane Daily Chronicle’s January 19, 1911, issue reports that the divorce was granted and states that “She [August Straffin] charged that she was deserted on the day of her wedding, which occurred in Spokane in 1908, and that her husband had never contributed to her support. She was permitted to resume her maiden name, Augusta Anderson.”
Augusta Straffin appears in the 1908 city directory for Spokane with Fred as the proprietor of the Rembrandt Studio, while later directories do not tie Augusta to any photography business. Collectively, this information suggests that Augusta Anderson had neither taken the photographs appearing in The Shadowy St. Joe – there is no evidence that she was fully trained as a photographer – nor had she compiled the book as an author. Rather, evidence strongly suggests that Fred D. Straffin was responsible for the development and publication of The Shadowy St. Joe and perhaps had August listed as author as an inducement to initiate or maintain an intimate relationship with her. It is possible the Augusta had taken the photographs and authored the book while Fred was occupied with drinking and desertion of his wife, but this calls into question as to how Augusta was fully trained as a photographer.
Fred D. Straffin was born in 1869 and died April 23, 1917, in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah; he is buried at the Salt Lake City Cemetery in an unmarked grave. His death certificate indicates that he was a widow at the time of his death, suggesting that he may have remarried after being divorced from Augusta.
Little is known concerning August Anderson after her divorce from Fred. A notice of marriage licenses granted in Spokane County published in The Spokesman-Review on February 11, 1914, mentions that an Adam Noble or Spokane was granted a license to marry Augusta Anderson, also of Spokane. It is assumed that this is likely the same Augusta Anderson that married and divorced Fred D. Straffin.

About a year ago, I got a message from someone at Mercedes-Benz. They wanted to make a book with photos of their cars taken by “real people” and with the stories behind these photos, and an old test shot of mine had made it into their selection.
To cut a long story short: I made a proper scan of the negative, signed an agreement, and some time later I got some cash (quite a lot for a test shot actually) and a copy of the book. It has a fancy lenticular cover featuring two different sets of 25 thumbnail images each. Actually I didn’t even notice that my photo was also on the cover until today when I started figuring out how to document this “milestone” photographically.
The book, titled “Through the eyes of the world”, contains short forewords from Dieter Zetsche (the CEO of Daimler AG), Stewart Butterfield (one of the Flickr co-founders), and Uwe Düttmann (a renowned photographer who directed many campaigns for Mercedes-Benz).
Unfortunately, “published” is not the whole truth in that the book is not really available for purchase—instead, they are giving it away to a selection of Mercedes-Benz customers. But there is a Flickr group (“Mercedes-Benz—Through the Eyes of the World”) which aims at putting all the photos from the book in one place.
My friend, Dr. David Evans, who is a Curator at the Royal Ontario Museum asked if one of the photos I took while I was down working with him and Dr. Michael Ryan as part of the Southern Alberta Research Group field crew for an article in the magazine. They are great guys to work with and I have learned a lot in the four summers (so far) that I have had the opportunity to head down to their field area and join them. Not only do we work hard and have fun in the field, but the vibe in field camp is always very good too with everyone chipping in to help where needed and lots of fun had by all!
I know I said that this week was going to be photos from my trip last year to Lake O'hara with my mom, but I received this in the mail today... A complimentary copy of ROM Magazine in which one of the photos I took while participating in the SADRG 2008 field season is published! How cool is that!?

Also, I know I'm way behind on commenting, but I promise I'll try and get caught up soon!
Well, this 1cm long fellow came round today to model for me. Sweet isn't he??? I used a EF-S 55-250 IS reversed to shoot him.
This is my first ever picture to be published!!!

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was published by the Photochrom Co. Ltd. The card has a divided back.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd.
The Photochrom Co. Ltd. of London and Royal Tunbridge Wells originally produced Christmas cards before becoming a major publisher and printer of tourist albums, guide books, and postcards.
These mainly captured worldwide views as real photos, or were printed in black & white, monochrome, and color.
They also published many advertising, comic, silhouette, novelty, panoramic, and notable artist-signed cards in named series as well. The huge number of titles that Photochrom produced may well exceed 40,000.
In 1896 they took over Fussli’s London office established three years earlier, and began publishing similar photo-chromolithographic postcards after securing the exclusive English licence for the Swiss photochrom process.
This technique was used to produce a great number of view-cards of both England and Europe. While they captured the same fine details as the Swiss prints, their colours were much softer and reduced.
Apart from their better known photochroms, they produced their Celesque series of view-cards printed in tricolor.
One of the largest unnamed series that Photochrom produced was of view-cards printed in brown rotogravure. Many of these cards were simply hand coloured with a dominant red and blue, which gives these cards a distinct appearance. They are similar to cards produced in their Photogravure and Velvet Finish Series.
Photochrom postcard series include:
-- Night Series - Line block halftone over a blue tint depicting London.
-- Carbofoto Series - Black & white real photo cards.
-- Sepiatone Series - Sepia real photo cards.
-- Grano Series - View-cards printed in black & white.
-- Exclusive Photo-Color Series - View-cards printed in colour.
-- Duotype Process Series - View-cards printed in two tones.
The Guildhall, London
The Guildhall is a municipal building in the Moorgate area of the City of London, England. The building has been used as a town hall for several hundred years, and is still the ceremonial and administrative centre of the City of London. The term "Guildhall" refers both to the whole building and to its main room, which is a medieval great hall. It is a Grade I Listed building.
Early History of The Guildhall
During the Roman period, the Guildhall was the site of the London Roman Amphitheatre, re-discovered as recently as 1988. It was the largest in Britannia.
Partial remains of the amphitheatre are on public display in the basement of the Guildhall Art Gallery, and the outline of the arena is marked with a black circle on the paving of the courtyard in front of the hall.
Indeed, the siting of the Saxon Guildhall here was probably due to the amphitheatre's remains.
Excavations by the Museum of London Archaeology at the entrance to Guildhall Yard exposed remains of the great 13th. century gatehouse built directly over the southern entrance to the Roman amphitheatre.
This suggests that enough of the Roman structure survived to influence the siting not only of the gatehouse and Guildhall itself, but also of the church of St. Lawrence Jewry whose strange alignment may shadow the elliptical form of the amphitheatre beneath.
The first documentary reference to a London Guildhall is dated 1128. Legend describes the Guildhall site as being the location of the palace of Brutus of Troy, who according to Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae (1136) is said to have founded a city on the banks of the River Thames, known as Troia Nova, or New Troy.
The Great Hall is believed to be on a site of an earlier guildhall (one possible derivation for the word "guildhall" is the Anglo-Saxon "gild", meaning payment, with a "gild-hall" being where citizens would pay their taxes).
The Current Building
The current building began construction in 1411 and was completed in 1440.
The Great Hall did not completely escape damage in the Great Fire of London in 1666; it was partially restored (with a flat roof) in 1670. The present grand entrance (the east wing of the south front), in "Hindoostani Gothic", was added in 1788 by George Dance.
A more extensive restoration than the one in 1670 was completed in 1866 by the City of London architect Sir Horace Jones, who added a new timber roof in close keeping with the original hammerbeam ceiling.
This replacement was destroyed during the Second Great Fire of London on the night of 29th./30th. December 1940, the result of a Luftwaffe fire-raid. It was replaced in 1954 during works designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, though the original hammerbeam design was not retained.
Trials at the Guildhall have included those of Anne Askew (the Protestant martyr), Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of Canterbury) and Lady Jane Grey ("the Nine Days' Queen"), as well as Henry Garnet (executed for his complicity in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605).
The 1783 hearing of the infamous Zong case, the outcome of which focused public outrage about the transatlantic slave trade, also took place at Guildhall.
On the 16th. November 1848, the pianist Frédéric Chopin made his last public appearance on a concert platform there.
The marathon route of the 2012 Summer Olympics passed through Guildhall Yard.
Present Use of The Guildhall
The day-to-day administration of the City of London Corporation is now conducted from modern buildings immediately to the north of Guildhall, but Guildhall itself and the adjacent historic interiors are still used for official functions.
Guildhall Art Gallery was added to the complex in the 1990's. Guildhall Library, a public reference library with specialist collections relating to London, which include material from the 11th. century onwards, is also housed in the complex.
Gog and Magog
Two giants, Gog and Magog, are associated with the Guildhall. Legend has it that the two giants were defeated by Brutus and chained to the gates of his palace on the site of the Guildhall.
Early carvings of Gog and Magog were destroyed in the Guildhall during the Great Fire of London. They were replaced in 1708 by a large pair of wooden statues carved by Captain Richard Saunders.
These giants, on whom the current versions are based, lasted for more than two hundred years before they were destroyed in the London Blitz. They, in turn, were replaced by a new pair carved by David Evans in 1953, and given to the City of London by Alderman Sir George Wilkinson, who had been Lord Mayor in 1940 at the time of the destruction of the previous versions.

The Guildhall hosts many events throughout the year, the most notable one being the Lord Mayor's Banquet, which is held in honour of the immediate-past Lord Mayor, and is the first to be hosted by the new Lord Mayor of the City of London.
In keeping with tradition, it is at this banquet that the Prime Minister makes a major world affairs speech.
One of the last acts of the outgoing Lord Mayor is to present prizes at the City of London School prize day at Guildhall.
Other events include those of various law firms, award evenings for the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET), and the banquet for the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC). The Worshipful Company of Carmen holds its cart-marking ceremony in the courtyard each July.
The Members' Bar
The Members' Bar in the Guildhall is a subsidised facility for members of the Court of Common Council and the Court of Aldermen. It is substantially cheaper than any other bar in the City of London, as it is subsidised from the City's Cash, a sovereign wealth fund.
These four images plus two more images used as promos were in The Plain Dealer today. This is a full newspaper page in our Inside & Out section. Promo images are in photostream below.
Our daily circulation is 356,286 with daily readership estimated to be 883,690. So if only one in four readers finds this page, that's still 200,000 "hits," which is much better than this page will do on Flickr!
The images: Flying tigers, Julia butterfly, www.flickr.com/photos/jonfobes/106667951/ Pink orchid and Zebra butterfly.
I hadn't planned to, but I ended up writing the text block for these images, which reads:
Awesome. Orchids. Everywhere.
That pretty much sums up the Cleveland Botanical Garden's "Orchid Mania: Blossoms & Butterflies" show, running through March 26.
The other thing to know about the event can be summed up in even fewer words: bountiful butterflies, approximately three times more than normally seen in the Cloud Forest of Costa Rica biome in the Eleanor Armstrong Smith Glasshouse.
You'll see, among others, Postman, Cattleheart, Zebra Longwing and Julia butterflies and also the captivating Blue Morpho; you'll watch them flutter around orchids, ginger blossoms, leaves, branches and even land on visitors, providing magical moments that have patrons pointing their cameras in three directions at once and clicking shutters as fast as their fingers can function.
And don't forget to visit the spiny desert of Madagascar, also in the glasshouse. The resident chameleon is as beautiful as any flower.
But the stars of this show are the awesome orchids: Big orchids, small orchids, white orchids, purple orchids ... some peer out from frames as living artwork, others spring from free-standing orchid sculptures, and others congregate in pots that haunt every nook and cranny of the botanical garden.
As one weary worker said Thursday during setup for the show, "If there's such a thing as orchid overdose, this might be it!" But of course, there's no such thing as orchid overdose, just as there's no such thing as too much beauty – you always want more.
The Victorians coined the word "orchidelirium" to describe flower madness – now I know why.

Bagattelle d’Inverno, l’ultima grande sfida #snellobb04
Birichinate, cammuffamenti, trasvestimenti, scherzi… insomma, in una parola: Carnevale!
Comunque lo si dica e comunque lo si festeggi, il Carnevale è da secoli una festa in cui la parola d’ordine è “divertirsi”.
Quindi, bando all’austerità e bando alle restrizioni, potevamo, noi di MondoSnello, non cogliere quest’occasione perfetta di Gusto e di Benessere, per vivere l’ultimo grande appuntamento delle gare di cucina di Snello Blind Box?
Eccoci qui, allora, amici di Mondosnello, estimatori dei prodotti Snello Rovagnati e appassionati Food Blogger che partecipate con noi ormai da un tempo che comincia a farsi lungo, perfino “tradizionale” (proprio come ci piace ;-)) a darvi il benvenuto a questa quarta sfida tra pentole, fornelli e… qualcosa di speciale – sennò che Carnevale è!
I fantasiosi piatti saranno assaggiati e votati da una giuria di esperti gastronomi di altissimo livello, a cominciare da Gil Grigliatti, gourmet di cultura ed esperienza internazionale. Da giovane è stato fiduciario Slow Food, nonché ispettore della guida dei ristoranti del Gambero Rosso per diversi anni. Autore del blog bilingue di cultura enogastronomica isymposium.org. Ancora Paolo Barichella, esperto di Food Design, autore del blog barichella.it; Alessia Cipolla, architetto e sommelier, autrice de lacostruzionedelgusto.it; Alessandro Salamone, reduce dalla trasmissione di La7 Chef per un giorno, autore di spaghettibites.com e ancora Angela Tomaiuolo co-fondatrice del web magazine milanodabere.it. Inoltre sarà presente Giacomo Kratter, otto volte campione italiano ed ora allenatore della Nazionale Italiana Snowboard. Quella da snowboard però non è l’unica tavola che ama: infatti Giacomo è un grande appassionato di cucina e adora farsi coccolare in ristoranti di lusso.
La giuria per l’occasione sarà presenziata dallo chef stellato e pluripremiato Davide Scabin, uno dei più apprezzati in Italia e all’estero, noto al grande pubblico per la partecipazione, nei panni di giudice dei cuochi in gara, a La Prova del Cuoco condotto su Rai1 da Antonella Clerici.
Per questo, abbiamo deciso di mettere insieme una serie di ingredienti saporiti, variegati, originali, proprio come in ogni ricetta gourmet che si rispetti:
- un pizzico di tradizione – la sede di InKitchen Loft, che ormai è prontissima ad accoglierci, in qualunque veste ci presentiamo
- e uno di modernità – quello che emana netto dalle protagoniste della gara, giovani donne che si muovono agili tra vite professionali sfidanti e articolati ménage familiari
- una buona dose di fantasia - fatta di maschere, costumi e colori sgargianti
- e l’ingrediente segreto – le nostre amate BlindBox, chiuse fino all’ultimo secondo anche al più ardito degli sguardi
- il tutto cosparso con una spruzzata di giocosità bambina – grazie a un buon numero di piccoli “scavezzacollo” che avranno il loro tavolo, i loro ingredienti, i loro cibi, e soprattutto una chef d’eccezione - Stefania Corrado, la “Multitasking Chef” che più che presentazioni merita i nostri più sentiti complimenti ;-) – a guidarli alla scoperta del buon cibo, del gusto e del mangiare bene… sapendolo preparare.
Già, perché, in fondo, soprattutto in un’era estremamente tecnologica come la nostra e come quella di quell’immediato futuro in cui saranno loro i protagonisti del mondo – far mettere “le mani in pasta” ai nostri bimbi lo consideriamo un onore, oltre che un piccolo grande contributo all’educazione dei “buoni mangiatori” di domani…
Amanti della cucina, appassionate del gusto, attente all’armonia dei sapori e alla cura per la buona e la bella tavola
Estimatrici di ricette snelle - per velocità, capacità, leggerezza - esperte nella valorizzazione degli ingredienti di stagione e nella rivisitazione moderna di piatti tradizionali, si sfideranno, si concentreranno su pentole e fornelli dimenticando tutto il resto, per dare il meglio di sé.
Ecco le Food Blogger di Snello BlindBox 04 – Bagattelle d'Inverno, vere animatrici dell'evento, che con le loro ricette e la loro esperienza renderanno onore ai prodotti Snello, Gusto e Benessere.
Loro si presentano così...
Lina D’Ambrosio
spadellatissima.com
Quando le chiedi di descriversi ,lei si presenta così: "Sono industrial designer e grafica, con una grande passione, quella del Food Blogging". Eppure non è tutto: inguaribile amante del buon cibo, dei viaggi, dell'arte e della fotografia, è sempre irresistibilmente affascinata mdai molteplici modi in cui un animo creativo può riuscire a esprimersi. Una frase che la descrive: "Mi piacciono la semplicità e la genuinità delle cose fatte in casa."
Serena Oliva
cucchiaiodistelle.com
Nella vita professionale, è architetto e designer, e per questo studia la relazione tra gli esseri umani e la tecnologia. Tuttavia, ha anche un'altra vita, quella da foodie, in cui è innanzitutto una mamma e una Food Blogger che progetta ricette, cucina piatti colorati, sani e golosi, cuoce il pane in casa e disegna insieme ai suoi bambini. Il motto che ha scelto per sé? "If in doubt, bake a cake"
Irene Prandi
Psicologa, piemontese, animata da una vera passione per la comunicazione e la condivisione, ha trovato nell'arte del cibo un mezzo straordinario per celebrare entrambe. Il suo viaggio da Food Blogger inizia con un blog creato in sordina, tuttavia in molti la notano e in ancora di più la seguono. Insomma, et voilà, il suo cammino continua rigoglioso, condito da sapori, ricette, un grande amore per il territorio, e tanta curiosità per tutto ciò che è "altro".
Arianna Vianelli
unafranciacortinaincucina.com
Non c'è dubbio, il suo nome è già un affermazione forte e chiara. Dice subito chi è e da dove viene. Almeno tanto quanto il suo blog nato dal desiderio di ritagliarsi uno spazio tutto proprio dove raccogliere e condividere le sue più grandi passioni: la cucina, il vino, gli amici e la Franciacorta.
Insomma, semplicità e ironia, ricette ed eventi, vini locali
e non solo, sono gli ingredienti di "una franciacortina in cucina".
Quindi, tra la stuzzicante prospettiva di gustosissimi lecca lecca di parmigiano con crudo e bresaola e prove di formine su pasta sfoglia con fette di prosciutto, in attesa delle prelibatezze imprevedibili che ci prepareranno le nostre sfidanti – adulte ;-) – non resta che invitarvi a conoscere un po’ meglio Lina, Serena, Irene e Arianna, giovani, pimpanti e agguerrite Food Blogger che ancora una volta ci delizieranno di una versione inconsueta e sorprendente dei prodotti che amiamo di più, con un occhio attento, come sempre, alla stagionalità.
SnelloBlindBox_04_CucinaTuVi abbracciamo, dunque, in un turbinio di coriandoli che non lascia presagire niente di… scontato :-)
e invitiamo tutti voi a fare festa con noi a Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno il 6 marzo 2014, alle ore 18.30 e – perché no – a cimentarvi, insieme alle nostre “chef per passione”, in ricette e piatti che, siamo sicuri, saranno gustosissimi. Come raccogliere la sfida? Semplice, partecipando a Snello BlindBox CucinaTu – l’iniziativa pensata apposta per la #gente_di_MondoSnello che ormai ci segue da molto tempo.
In attesa di assaporare tutto il meglio che Snello Blind Box 04 – Bagattelle d’Inverno saprà regalarci – e non abbiamo dubbi - a presto!

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 18th of May 1915.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images or have any stories or information to add please comment below.

I seem to have fortunate timing. I emailed Camera West yesterday looking for an X100S right after they had taken one in as a return. I drove up to Walnut Creek this morning, picked it up, and spent the afternoon out at the park with Katie playing around with it. Still a lot to learn about using this particular camera. So far it's small, light, but behaves in the way I'd expect my SLR to behave. With an APS-C sized sensor and a f/2 lens, I can get good subject isolation and fast shutter speeds, although given the way the camera autofocuses I wouldn't expect much action photography with it. Anyways, I'm really really happy so far. I'm looking forward to my New Orleans trip where it'll really get a workout. #x100s
