Most of our customers have heard about the incredible benefits of fresh, high quality, home-brewed compost tea, but not everyone knows how easy and inexpensive a process it can actually be! Aerobic Compost Tea is brewed to extract and multiply populations of beneficial microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and nematodes. The compost supplies the microbes while the catalyst and amendments promotes their population growth. When sprayed on the leaf surface, some beneficial microbes can out compete or directly interfere with pathogenic organisms. As a soil soak the microbes will colonize plant debris and promote nutrient recycling.

CFP: A New Sense of Place: Travel and Alterity in Southern Literature
In her 2011
Southscapes: Geographies of Race, Region,
and Literature, scholar Thadious Davis revivifies the idea of place in
southern literature. It is such
reconsiderations of southern places as dynamic spaces that this panel will
explore. The 2013 Mardi Gras
Conference theme is "In Momentum: Literature, Travel, and Alterity." (See http://call-for-papers.sas.upenn.edu/node/47987
for the conference-wide CFP.) This timely theme asks for a discussion of
notions of place and space, for considerations of how travel and movement,
boundedness and freedom, can be considered in terms of literature, art,
science, thought. Under that larger umbrella of movement and travel, this panel will explore the broad themes of
travel, the related discourses of globalization, migration, space, and place,
and connected issues regarding alterity
in the literature of the American South.
Suggested topics include (but are certainly not limited to) the
traumatic histories of travel in the South, including African slavery and
Native American removal; migrant work; southern expatriate writing; the
post-Katrina New Orleans diaspora; the Appalachian diaspora; and the effect of
tourism on southern identity. Submit
abstract for a 15-20 minute paper to email@example.com by Saturday, December 1,

Magic Kingdom Park
All Ages
Participate in the giggliest, most guffaw-friendly live comedy show ever—starring Monsters, Inc. and company!
Discover the power of laughter from the original Monsters of Comedy during a hilarious interactive show. Continuing the zany adventures of Mike Wazowski and company from the hit Disney•Pixar animated films Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University, this fun-filled attraction invites you to be unafraid and laugh out loud.
The Opening Act
Step inside the only laugh factory in Monstropolis and make your way into a sprawling 400-seat comedy club. Before taking your seat, everybody's favorite Monster of Ceremonies Mike Wazowski makes an appearance to explain just how the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor came to be.
The Punch Line
Once inside the Laugh Floor, sit back and prepare to chuckle till your sides split as the wisecracking Wazowski, skeptical manager Roz and some of the funniest monsters you've ever seen spring to life on a digital stage and do their very best to make you laugh.
Since the atmosphere in the comedy club is very improvisational, each show is a slightly different experience. And in true comedy-club style, the comics love to engage the audience. So don't be surprised if, at some point, you become part of the show!
Meet the Monsters of Comedy
Although different shows may feature different comedians, some "hall of fame" monster comics that have performed at the Laugh Floor include:
Join Monster of Ceremonies Mike Wazowski and the funniest monsters in Monstropolis for a show to power the city.
Having discovered that a laugh provides 10 times more energy to Monstropolis than a scream, everybody's favorite one-eyed monstrosity decided to open up the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor—a comedy club starring monster comedians—as a way to capture the giggles and chortles of humans to help run the city.
Text your favorite joke before the lights go down and it could be used in the show!
Prior to entering the theater, watch Mike Wazowski's video for a special text messaging password. Then, use your phone keypad to enter and send your joke. (Standard text messaging fees apply.) The Monsters may select your gag during the show and use it live on stage!
You can make FastPass+ selections for this attraction up to 30 days before your visit—or up to 60 days before your Disney Resort hotel check-in.

In Cincinnati they heat things up with heaping bowls of chili cooked until practically melted, with additions such as warm spices like cinnamon, cocoa powder, allspice, and cloves, and a touch of sweet molasses. Served over spaghetti and topped with hearty beans, cheese, and onion, it's like no chili you have had before, but definitely one you'll make over and over again.–Ellie Krieger
LC Three Way, Four Way, Five Way, Oh My! Note
Are we all familiar with Cincinnati-style chili? This unique and saucy take on chili is traditionally and ubiquitously plopped atop spaghetti and, if you please, glopped with Cheddar cheese, red onions, and/or beans. Mind you, there's proper Cincinnati chili terminology to describe exactly how you like yours…
Two Way: Chili plopped on spaghetti
Three Way: Chili plopped on spaghetti and smothered with cheese
Four Way: Chili plopped on spaghetti and smothered with cheese and diced red onions or beans
Five Way: Chili plopped on spaghetti and smothered with cheese, diced red onions, and beans
One last thing. This rendition is made with ground turkey, which is hardly traditional, although you can't really tell the difference. Honestly. That said, we're not going to try to stop you from making it with ground beef. As if we could stop you.
Cincinnati Chili
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound lean ground turkey
- 2 green bell peppers, diced
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened natural cocoa
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- One 15-ounce can no-salt-added tomato sauce
- One 15-ounce can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, with their juices
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon unsulfured molasses
- 1 bay leaf
- 8 ounces spaghetti, preferably whole-grain, cooked according to package directions
- 1 cup canned kidney beans, preferably low-sodium, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup grated, lightly packed extra-sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 4 teaspoons finely diced red onion
- 1. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the turkey and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon into small pieces, until just cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Add the bell peppers and cook until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cocoa, paprika, cumin, oregano (if using), cinnamon, allspice, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, and cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- 3. Add the tomato sauce, tomatoes with their juice, water, molasses, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, partially covered, until the mixture has thickened considerably but is still somewhat soupy, about 2 hours.
- 4. Remove and discard the bay leaf. Serve the chili over the spaghetti, topped with the kidney beans, cheese, and diced red onion.

Some Smyrna High School seniors have been hard at work this year on more than just math, science and reading. Since September, art students have also been honing their skills in photography, drawing, painting and sculpture. A twelve-day exhibit will feature some of their best work.
In between grammar lessons and math skills, 12th grade art students at Smyrna High School work all year on projects that stretch their creativity, honing skills some didn't even know they had. The school offers several classes, in everything from drawing and painting to ceramics, sculpture and photography, making room at the table for every student's imagination.
And, all of that imagination will be on display this month at the Smyrna Opera House for the annual Senior Art Show, an exhibit that the students and their art instructor Shari Dierkes hopes will highlight how hard they've been working since September.
"I just want the kids to be able to show off their talents to the community," said Dierkes. "I want them to be recognized for how hard they've worked."
For senior Alexis Cossman, a ceramics and drawing student who finds as much of her inspiration behind the lens of a camera as she does by the firelight of the kiln, she's also hoping people will see how hard she's worked.
"I have two pieces in the show-a smaller one and a bigger one," said Cossman. "The little one didn't take that long but it takes several steps to get to the final result. We have to do three sketches before we even start so we have a good idea of what the final result will be."
Dierkes said that Cossman loves art and it shows.
"I have her in the drawing and painting capacity but also in the ceramics. And, with ceramics, she didn't even know that she liked ceramics but once she got her hands dirty with it, you couldn't keep her away."
Cossman credits her mom as the impetus for taking ceramics, saying that her mom's own love of high school ceramics class is what propelled her to enroll in the class. Now, the younger Cossman lists it as a full-fledged passion.
"I just love working with the clay," said Cossman. "It calms me so I'm really passionate about it."
Like Cossman, senior Alexa Smythe is also enthusiastic about her art classes. However, Smythe's enthusiasm resides in drawing and painting, a medium that Dierkes said Smythe has really blossomed in this year, thanks in part to the discipline of her advanced placement class.
"Once she had the responsibility of being an AP student, she just flourished with her drawings," said Dierkes. "She doesn't even realize that some of her stuff is so good. She's got some natural talent and ability and she has exceeded any high school expectations. I think she'll go somewhere with her art."
Smythe certainly wants to go somewhere with her art. The senior art exhibit is her first show but will likely not be her last given that Smythe plans to study fine arts at Arcadia University in Pennsylvania next year.
"Being in this show, I'm learning about how you live as an artist and how you get stuff out there," said Smythe. "I hope people see something about me when they see my work but I also hope they notice the composition. I've worked really hard on that.
The show will feature the work of many students, though, and lots of those students didn't begin the school year with any real artistic expectations. Dierkes first has to fight against the common notion that art means drawing and painting and that the only relevant style is realism.
"Students often shy away from art or struggle at first because they are so focused on how well they can draw," said Dierkes. "I tell them all the time, though, that good art does not mean pretty and it does not always mean drawing or painting. They just have to find their medium. It might be collage, digital art, sculpture or photography. But, every student has a place here and has something to offer."

Kenny Mansally's two-goals-in-two-minutes performance against D.C. United doubled his scoring output from last season
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Head coach Steve Nicol had a plan for Kenny Mansally when he called him off the bench in the 68th minute of a then-scoreless deadlock with D.C. United on Saturday night at RFK Stadium.
Scoring a pair of highlight-reel goals in a two-minute span – and earning MLS player of the week honors in the process – wasn't necessarily what he was expecting.
With starting forwards Kheli Dube (5-foot-11) and Zack Schilawski (5-foot-10) struggling to overcome the constant harassment and persistent physical pressure of D.C. center backs Dejan Jakovic (6-foot-2) and Juan Manuel Pena (6-foot), Nicol had hoped Mansally would counteract their physicality and improve the Revolution's possession.
"The two guys [Jakovic and Pena] at the back were giving Kheli and Zack a hard time," Nicol said to reporters after the game. "They were just getting manhandled. So we thought, put Kenny in there and get a bit more strength and hold the ball up, so we can get out."
Mansally did more than just help the Revs kill off the game. While his ability to hold the ball under pressure did increase New England's possession, it was his killer instinct when facing goal which ultimately provided the difference in a defensive battle.
Two clinical strikes within 15 minutes of entering the match earned the Revs a 2-0 victory, their first of the 2010 season and their first at RFK Stadium since 2006.
"The goals are icing on the cake," Nicol said.
The eventual game-winner seemed to come out of nowhere in the 80th minute, when Mansally pounced on Chris Tierney's deflected cross and one-timed a shot into the upper left corner from eight yards out.
"I've been scoring that kind of goal in practice, so when I was in that position I just tried to speed over there," he said. "I think it was a great ball from Chris, then it deflected from Kheli and I was behind him, so I just judged it first time and finished."
It was Mansally's first league goal in more than a year, as he hadn't found the back of the net in an MLS match since scoring late in a 1-1 draw with the New York Red Bulls on March 28, 2009.
After going more than 365 days without a goal in league play, the Gambian international must've liked the way it felt, because he did it again just two minutes later.
And this time, he made it look even better.
With the ball at his feet and a pair of defenders surrounding him at the top of the box, Mansally used two deft moves – including a fake shot which actually turned United defender Rodney Wallace all the way around – before lofting a left-footed shot into the far side netting.
The curling effort left D.C. goalkeeper Troy Perkins with virtually no chance.
"It was a great goal," Perkins admitted after the game. "It was perfectly placed, and I'll be the first guy to hold my hand up if I thought it was my fault, but I don't know what I could've done on the second one."
While it was Mansally's finish on the second goal which drew the most attention, it was his composure on the ball and his smartly-timed fakes which opened up the space for the shot in the first place.
According to Mansally, the inspiration for the moves sprung from a desire to get the ball on his preferred foot.
"I was trying to get to my left side, so I just pushed the man back and then I hit it," he said. "The player was stopping me from going to my right side, then I just finished with my left."
It was the first career multiple-goal game for Mansally, who is now in his third full season with the Revolution despite just recently turning 21 years old.
Based on the quality of the strikes against United, it's hard to believe that Mansally had scored just four MLS goals prior to his double on Saturday night and had never before won player of the week honors. Amazingly, that pair of goals in a two-minute span doubled his 2009 goal total (one) and pulled Mansally just one tally shy of his career-best single-season mark from 2008, when he scored three times.
After playing primarily as a forward in 2008 and early in 2009, Mansally converted to his more natural left-sided midfield position midway through last season, and thrived out on the flank as the Revolution's starting left midfielder. However, current injuries to strikers Taylor Twellman and Edgaras Jankauskas have created a need up front, and as Mansally proved against United, he can certainly fill the void.
Whether his future will be as a forward or midfielder – or perhaps a combination of the two – remains to be seen, but no matter where he is on the field, Mansally expects the goals to keep coming.
"I wanted to get a hat trick (against D.C.), but I couldn't," he said. "Maybe next time, the next home game (against Toronto FC). I don't know when I'm going to start, so any time I get a chance, any opportunity I get, I have to take it."

When you were born, did you decide to be a christian, muslim, buddist,etc? How is this even a question? If you were any of all religions, then were you brought up to be a particular one, or did you decide before hand? You shouldn't be an Atheist because you picked it out of a hat, and felt it best suited you. You're who you are because your free thinking brought you to the conclusion of "what" you are. Is Atheism a choice? If you lie to yourself, sure its a "choice".
I wish it were that simple.
Most people crave community and are comforted by shared fantasy. To turn your back on "all that," you have to have some kind of problem with it. Maybe you don't get along with the peer group, or maybe you can't help looking behind the curtain. I think that's a matter of temperament, not choice.
Booklover's "sheeple" christians are, IMO, mostly in it for the cover dish suppers, an excuse to dress up once a week, and maybe the chance to do something nice for somebody once in a while. I don't have a problem with them, and will not stoop to insulting their intelligence (except when they vote for guys like Bush). Their "sin" is not a lack of reason, just a difference in focus.
Further, many people have legitimate experiences of religious ecstasy. It's pretty hard to turn your back on that, even if it leads you to a bad place.
So, if you don't enjoy church and don't like church people, and have never been stricken with the Spirit, and have the intellect and temperament to draw your own conclusions, you may deprogram yourself from what you learned as a child.
THEN the choice is as clear as this:
> Religion is a choice in that blind faith is a choice. Atheism is a choice in that the exercize of ones reason is a choice.
We get our religion and our god by chance of our birth. No choice. Most people choose to stay with this initial position. No choice. No one can come anywhere near atheism unless he musters courage for rational thinking. If this happens, if one has enough courage to think rationally, then one becomes an atheist, no choice! Atheism and faith are not alternative choices, they are alternative positions.
Born and raised atheist, I don't consider it a choice, though I did have a choice to be religious if I had wanted to. It is a different scenario I guess for those who are now atheist but raised religious.
I cannot help but to go to Neil Degrasse Tysons explanation of "If you're scientifically literate the world looks very different t...
This to me is a realization, not a choice. I just cannot fathom the faith and belief. I don't understand it and I never will.
Is it so bad that atheism is a choice? If it is by choice, then it is a good one.
Born as an atheist. There are a few others also who claim to be born atheists. I have also read a book titled 'Born Atheist" which also says that everybody is born as an atheist. I however, do not agree with this. Atheism comes, not out of ignorance but out of knowledge. Mny accept faith in their childhood through the influence of their parents due to lack of adequate knowlwdge and beome atheists when they earn enough knowledge to make their own decision. A child does not have enough knowledge to make his own decision or understand atheism and may acquire atheism through parents, which is not true atheism. Atheism should come through knowledge and not through ignorance.
I understand this Madhukar, I think I have always said "born atheist" simply because my parents were devout atheists so really, I was destined to 'start' out as an atheist. It is more of a personal description rather than a general one. But that is not to say that I was not aware of religion growing up, friends and family members were religious and we had numerous bibles of different denominations in the house.
Thanks, Sandi.
Nobody is born as religious or as an atheist. Traditional influences make a person a religious person. Non-tradional thinking makes one an atheist. That what I mean to say.
No, atheism is the default position since it is a lack of belief in a deity. A positive belief such as naturalism or theism is something that can be acquired, but it is not something intrinsic in humans.
Children have a tendency to see purpose in objects that you and I perhaps would not, a rock is for a cow to rub against, a tree is for protection from the rain. If anything children seem to be animistic in nature, perhaps one of the many reasons why children are not considered to be mature and capable of making informed decisions is because they are basically insane.
They just cannot grasp reality until a certain age, they can be incredibly naive as well. That's why they need supervision and protection.
Anyway, there are many ways to become a theist or atheist, but they are different things all together and they do not compare well. Atheism does not hold any positive statement or affirmation of a belief, it is simply a lack of belief in a deity, religion on the other hand is a positive statement that contains statements about reality.
Although a lot of people think that atheism is a belief, it is not. If you're an atheist it means that you have other, positive beliefs such as my belief in scientific materialism (FTW!). From that positive belief flows that I am not convinced of theism's statement that there is a god.
Not trying to only argue semantics here, but I do believe that a distinction is in order.
No, atheism is the default position since it is a lack of belief in a deity.
I beg to differ with you. Belief in god and religion can be accepted withot knowledge but that is not the case with atheism. Athiesm can not be ignorance, atheism means that we know why there is no god. I do not accept that an ignorent child is an atheist. If we accept this, then the difinition of atheism has to be altered.
The answer I have given below to Rob van Senten includes an answer to your question too. I would not attempt to change a so well established definition and even if I dare to do so, I will have to provide massive explaination. The definition of atheism does not tell us when atheism arises in our mind.

Alfresco Provides First Community Release with Activiti BPM Integration
Inclusion of Activiti BPMN 2.0 Engine in Alfresco Community 3.4 Update Delivers Powerhouse Workflow in Open Source ECM Platform
LONDON – April 19, 2011 – Alfresco, the open platform for social content management, today announced the industry's first preview of the Activiti Business Process Management (BPM) workflow engine integrated with Alfresco. Fully compliant with the industry standard BPMN 2.0, the Activiti integration extends Alfresco's workflow features by providing developers more flexibility and integration capabilities for process flows between Alfresco and other business applications. The integration is being offered through an update to Alfresco Community, version 3.4.e and is available for immediate download.
Tweet This: [email protected] Community 3.4 includes the new Activiti BPMN 2.0 workflow for managing document centric processes http://bit.ly/g0E7D3
Since its launch last year, Activiti has worked as an independently run and branded open source project distributed under the Apache license. In response to accelerated development and increasing demand from the community, Alfresco has released a preview of the integration as the first proof point of Activiti built into a business application.
"The replacement of jBPM with Activiti in Alfresco is just the beginning. It's the start of a seamless integrated environment that combines Enterprise Content Management (ECM), Adaptive Case Management (ACM) and Business Process Management (BPM)," said Tom Baeyens, Activiti Project Lead. "Moving forward, our new case management vision will focus on taking BPM out of its niche and opening it up to a much wider audience, fostering an environment for even greater innovation."
Activiti is a lightweight workflow and Business Process Management (BPM) Platform targeted at business people, developers and system admins to deliver a powerhouse workflow tool to drive content needs from within the Alfresco community. At its core is a super-fast and rock-solid BPMN 2.0 process engine for Java that provides flexibility for greater integration capabilities between Alfresco and other business applications, giving developers more out-of-the-box functionality.
This preview release will enable early adopters to compare the existing jBPM workflow with the Activiti BPM environment while at the same time start experimenting with the integration into other tools to create different types of workflow applications. The integration of Activiti and Alfresco is key for any organization that wants to review and approve content that needs to go through a complex review and approval process, such as contracts, sales forecasts, budgets and press releases. This will empower collaboration without losing control of the latest version or the traceability of revisions.
The production ready version of this integration will be delivered in the next major release of Alfresco Enterprise later this year in the Q4 timeframe. Using Activiti, developers can define new BPMN 2.0 workflow definitions and add them to Alfresco for managing document centric processes. For the first time, organizations can leverage the standalone BPMN 2.0 engine within their own content repository platforms using the Alfresco integration as an example of what can be done.
Alfresco has seen major adoption of its open source and open standards social content management platform throughout the world, with more than three million downloads of Alfresco Community.
Alfresco Community 3.4.e is available now and can be downloaded at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Alfresco_Community_3.4.e_Download. The Activiti BPM platform can be downloaded at http://www.activiti.org/download.html.

4 Tips to Overcome 4 Common Weight Loss Hurdles
There are many things that can upset our weight loss journeys. No one is perfect, and the unexpected loves to pop up and throw a wrench in things just when we think everything is running perfectly and nothing can stop us. It is inevitable that one day we will experience some sort of obstacle in our weight loss routine that we will have to overcome. However, we have to learn to expect these types of setbacks and deal with them appropriately in order to achieve our fitness goals. It may seem easier said than done, but there is no need to worry. By using a few of our tips, you will get past these hurdles in no time.
Overeating. We have all been there before. We may have attended a party or a family get together and ended up overindulging in those tasty party treats, or maybe we woke up in the middle of the night with a need to satisfy that sweet tooth. It happens, even to the best of us. The most important thing to remember is that one slip up in your diet is not going to make much of a difference. You will not become obese because of one eating binge, so do not get too hard on yourself. You need to pick yourself up and continue on as before.
Illness. We all get sick from time to time no matter how much we try to take care of our bodies. The best thing to do when we are not feeling well is to take it easy. You need to eat right and get plenty of rest to allow your body to heal and overcome this illness. Once you begin to feel better, you can attempt to ease slowly back into your fitness routine. Take your time and ensure that you truly feel up to doing your fitness routine. It is perfectly normal to feel a little off at the beginning of returning to your workout. Don't let this upset you. You will be back to working out as usual in no time.
Lack of motivation. This can happen to a lot of us. We set out on our weight loss journeys with the best of intentions, but then we just sort of lose them along the way. Our fitness routines may not be getting us the results that the want or seem too boring for us to stick with, and we seem to slowly taper off without even realizing that we are putting less and less effort into our workouts. This is where you may need to seek the help of others to keep you going or dig down deep inside of yourself. Each of us are different. If you want outside help, you can try working out with a friend, joining an online fitness community or hiring a personal trainer. If you prefer to do it alone, then you could keep a fitness journal to help hold yourself accountable, but you have to write down everything for it to be effective. You can also write down your goals and put up pictures of how you want to look or feel. It is up to you to decide on what method will work best for you.
Injuries. Sometimes, accidents happen, and of course, they are always unexpected. An injury might not have been caused by your fitness routine, but it still affects your workouts! This can leave us feeling down and helpless, which can have a major effect on our motivation. However, depending on your injury there may still be some types of exercises that you can still do. Your best option during this time is to ask your doctor which exercises you can safely perform and which ones will help you overcome your injury faster. You could also benefit by hiring a personal trainer to oversee your workouts to make sure that you do not overdo it. Just as with an illness, you will have to gradually ease back into your fitness routine. While you are recovering, the most important thing you can do is to really tighten up on your right eating habits at every single meal! The rule is: sometimes you can't workout, but you can still eat right! This is guaranteed to keep your fitness goals from spiraling downward due to an injury.
There are many obstacles we will have to overcome on our weight loss journey, and it is these times that will define if we will give up or finish our journey. It is up to us to remember why we started this journey in the first place and allow these reasons to push us past the finish line.

Every now and then I run across an idea for a recipe – usually a completely simple and obvious one – that has never, ever occurred to me before. And after I smack myself in the forehead a couple of times, I then can't settle down until I make it, just to make up for lost time. That's how I was with this shrimp. I'm sure you guys figured this out millions of years ago, but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I realized that those tall, woody stems of rosemary growing in my back yard herb garden weren't just good for, well, rosemary.
They also make rocking good SKEWERS. Yep, skewers. As in, those things that you spear things on and pop on the grill. In this case, I used some nice big shrimp, and after they were nice and skewered, I marinated them in a little Italian salad dressing for about an hour.
After that, all I had to do was pop them on the grill for a couple of minutes per side. If you have a gas grill, turn one side down low so that the rosemary leaf end of the skewers is on the cool side. That way you still have a little bit of non-burnt rosemary when you are done. I served mine with a little romaine leaf salad with buttermilk dressing and candied pecans, and all was pretty much right with the world.
I wonder what else I am missing??? Let me know if you have any ideas. 🙂

Daviss: alt did the gentleman give you any more info on his line that you did not know?
jhonora: The more I research, the more OH comes up. If there isn't a black history of that state, you should write one
alt: no Daviss, he will be able to help me on his paternal lines and I think I have more information on his Adams family lines than he has, so it will be a mutual collaboration. jhonora, there is a tremendous amount of AA histroy already written..... I've just been able ot get to the tip of the 'iceberg". already written on Ohio. and that tip is just on my family lines and the part of Ohio where they were located. y'all sure are quiet today
Daviss: I am trying hard not to talk football lol
alt: we're getting ready for 'THE GAME!!!!!' here tomorrow ... Ohio State vs MIchigan
Daviss: I did do a little family search last night

Daviss: ASU and UofA big tradition here alt
alt: okay Daviss, is that tomorrow?
Daviss: I came up with zilch again alt. I was going over again still trying to find my mother I looked at every scenerio I could find
alt: have you exhausted alll of the places she may have been located in for 1940?
Daviss: yup and went back again line by line found my great grands and worked backwards from their page to the 1st page then forward from the start of their page then I started at one great aunt who lived in the city and same thing it was only so far I could go that way because of the make up of the town
alt: it might be exhausting by a line by line on the indexes might work..... search for AA female, born +/- 19??, using wild cards for given name spelling for just the States she might have been located in. by=but
Daviss: I have done that also alt Texas and Louisiana
alt: how bout the names of siblings? on indexes, not images helllo Selma
Daviss: they were all living on the property with grands except for that one aunt alt
jhonora: Daviss, I haven't been able to find my grandmother in Louisiana 1940 either Hello Selma!
Selma: Afternoon folks..belated Happy Thanksgiving
Daviss: Hi there Selma!
alt: same to you Selma
Selma: Everyone stuffed themselves yesterday?
Daviss: scratching my head jhonora I kind of held back a tad Selma lol
jhonora: I have been told that many AA families were not enumerated in 1940.
Selma: Yea..I held back a "tad" too... LOL
alt: how old would your mother have been in 1940 Daviss?
Daviss: 15-16 alt
alt: okay.... and you're saying she had to have been in TX or LA in 1940, right?
vkn: nor any other census jhonora
Daviss: I am saying she should have been in Tx.. I searched La because it was the next closest state Grrrrrrrr
alt: did you have relatives in any state other than TX or LA that she could have been living with in 1940?
Selma: or possibly visiting Daviss?
Daviss: none that I know of alt
vkn: i eat little selma
alt: okay, just a thought
Selma: Well we have enough leftovers for at least 2 or 3 days..we will be sick of turkey and ham by then
Daviss: I used her first name in every way and looked at all ways
alt: right Selma, cause as we know the census is just a snapshot with an approximate date range.
Selma: Did she have a "middle" name..plus you know 15 - 16 year olds like to get cute, maybe yes another name that she preferred
Daviss: same here Selma.. I talked to my brother last night. They cooked a lot of food and will pack it up and take it down to the homeless..
Selma: Maybe used
Daviss: yes she had a middle name and I used that also as well as initials
alt: and the relationships can be squirrled up.... I'm a nephew and my father is a Lodger in the household of my grandmother's sister home. and there are 3 surnames in that household..... Lee, Yarbrough & Thomas.
vkn: good idea to the homeless
alt: so you might ignore the obivous Daviss and looke for something unusual.
Daviss: he cooked for his kids but they had other plans what could that be alt?
Selma: Oh jeez.. I guess they won't be on his XMAS List.. lOL
Daviss: lol Selma thats what he said

Testing For Kids In Idaho Panhandle's Silver Valley Encouraged
COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho (AP) — The Panhandle Health District in northern Idaho is offering incentives...
Category: Religious News
US - Religious Freedom
WASHINGTON (AP) — A religious freedom report released by the State Department criticizes U.S. allies Afghanistan and Pakistan, while also taking aim at chronic violators Iran, China and North Korea.
It said Afghanistan's courts interpret Islamic law to punish non-Muslims for exercising their faith. Pakistan has issued death sentences for cases of blasphemy and despite increased extremist attacks on minorities or even pro-tolerance Muslims there, authorities have rarely investigated perpetrators.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a speech in Washington that more than a billion people live in countries where they lack religious freedom. She said countries that are emerging as democracies are still repressing religious minorities. Clinton also said that some governments are misusing emerging technologies to persecute faith groups.
Clinton says the jury is still out on the emerging government in Egypt, where Christians have told her they have great concerns about their rights.

Rick F needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 99 designs submitted by 21 freelance designers.
We need a creative genius to develop our logo, parlaying original ideas alongside a successful brand.
We are a Web 2.0 company that is patterned after Monster.com (except for graduate school applicants, rather than job seekers, finding universities, rather than jobs). We provide students with a stress-reducing, time-reducing experience
keep 2 distinct audiences in mind: entrenched Academia (ages 30-70) and recent college graduates.
Clean, simple & unique, to convey quality, consistency, efficiency & trust.
Design a logo for website and other collateral to create brand recognition with two distinct audiences, applicants for masters programs and graduate school admissions offices. Utilize many of the same attributes found in the 'sister' logo – PhD.Connect.com.
Create a logo that includes both text and image, where each component can be used independently. This requires that the font be recognizable and a design element of its own; however, it must be easily legible and simple to reproduce across various print and electronic media.
In addition, the logo will be used in a variety of formats, e.g., business collateral, trade shows, large-scale booths, etc., so it is vital that the final design be easily scalable.
Colors do not have to be the same as for PhD-Connect.com.
•include options with and without tagline, "Stress-Free Search & Apply"
•indicate through the design that this is an ONLINE resource
•classic font style
•name of company is primary focus of design

Anthony Saris Explains His Process
"I start each drawing as though it were to be a 'finish'. If it develops unsatisfactorily, I start another. Often I make several starts. I draw quickly and my style is such that this re-doing system is not much more time-consuming than the preliminary pencil sketch method would be."
"My illustrations are all based upon drawings in ink. Some are straight black and whites..."
"... but even those in color are essentially drawings..."
"... over which tints are applied."
"In making illustrations I seldom use a pencil for preliminary guidance, preferring to draw directly with the pen. The drawing is done purely in outline. When that seems satisfactory, I put in the important dramatic, solid black areas and the half-tone values."
"In a colored illustration the pigment is applied over the ink."
"Later, I insert the smaller, incidental blacks. Colored inks are my basic color source."
"Basically, my method is as simple as the preceeding paragraph states, but as each step permits unlimited variation, the procedure can become as elaborate as desired."
"I believe in experimentation, and whenever feasible, I test new methods for novel incidental effects. For example... in adding the color (colored inks) I may employ a brush or an ink roller like those used in block printing."
"It is used, of course, only to cover large, simple areas. The other shapes must be masked out. I use frisket paper for the large expanses and liquid frisket for details."
"Drawing ink, of course, is much thinner than printing ink and of different composition and does not lend itself to flat, even coloring, but as I am always alert for fortunate accidentals, this offers quite an advantage in my eyes."
"I make many experimental variations with frisket in solid masses and in line. Let us imagine the subject is a figure clothed in decorative costume. The elaborate line drawing may be made with frisket on plain white paper. Color as desired is then applied over the drawing, and when the frisket is removed and the white line design is modulated suitably, the result is striking and unusual. True, a similar effect might be achieved by drawing the outline design with white ink..."
"... but to me the unmechanical, fortuitous result of the first method is infinitely to be desired from an artistic point of view."

6 comments:
wow interesting. really great stuff! i love the idea of going for it on the first try with ink, he must be really good at visualizing his images in his head first.ReplyDelete
I love this type of block coloring - great post, Leif!ReplyDelete
Thanks Brad and Matt; yes, Saris talked about spending quite a bit of time on research and thought before he would put pen to paper. I suppose that he did have a good idea of the visual in his mind... but remember how in Part 1 he said he would also let a drawing grow organically, so that the end result might be quite a bit larger than he first imagined as he added to it. Really different from how I work!ReplyDelete
Fletcher Martin's figures are drawn more subjective.. exaggerating the character of the figure an generalizing the folds in the clothing, etc., in comparison to Anthony Saris. In his later work during the 1940's, Floyd Davis also did figures from his imagination, which were whimsical yet often very dynamic. Drawing from the imagination is more Expressionistic and character driven, than a more academic technique driven approach like Saris. Although I appreciate and admire both approaches, I always find the beauty and skilled accuracy of academic draftsmanship very pleasing and satisfying, personally. The incredible difficulty of controlled spontaneity and accuracy, was our ultimate goal for most of us illustration students in the late 50's.ReplyDelete

Really enjoyed this post. Very much like the looseness and energy that his way of working captures. I draw quite differently to how I illustrate which I have always found quite frustrating. This has really given me pause for thought. ThanksReplyDelete
