Iconoclast View

Here's a story a little outside our viewership area, but it's an interesting one sent to us by our friends at Adman, Lima.

Rudolph Foods has announced the retirement of 51-year veteran Mike Reynolds. Hired in 1960, Reynolds has held a variety of positions with the Westminster-based food company, starting as a corn popper.

The Icon's newest feature should make you hungry, and save you money.

Today we introduce our combined menu-coupon page. The new feature enables viewers to read and/or print menus from restaurants who are Icon advertisers.

Go to "Coupons and menus" on the black horizontal bar underneath the Icon masthead. Click on it. You will see menus for:

1 - China Wok
2 - Common Grounds
3 - Jeanne's Kitchen

We hope to add additional menus soon.

These menus may be viewed on your computer screen or printed.

Every photographer in the world has one pseudo-Bigfoot video. Or hopes to. You will soon view mine. I'm talking about the classic Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot film.

No matter how prepared you are to photograph on film a UFO, Bigfoot, or a big cat roaming freely across a wheat field when it actually belongs in the Rocky Mountains, you'll never photograph it perfectly.

Your film will be blurry, shaky, out of focus and way too short.
