|Something about the Honorverse

Hello, I am writing from Germany, so excuse my limited english. I read all in the german language published books from the Honorverse and have some questions and ideas that maybe anwered or took up in future books.
Weapons: Antimissle
At the war against Haven the range of the missles have been massive increased, but, what is with the antimissles? Manticore and Have use Multi Level attack missles, what is, if you take only one Level, of them and put a bündle of antimissle on the top instead the shipkiller warhead? That will give you a vehicle to Transport your antimissles over a longer range. Such a missle is very short, so you can put the double amount of them into a missle pod, so you can fire them normaly from the top of the pod, but also from the back. You can load them from both side into a normal missle pod.
Also, you can put the Standard antimissles in a normal missle pod. Antimissles are much smaler than the big attack missles and a reloading System woudn´t be useful due cost in production and the timefactor in combat. But, what if you cut the missle pod into different Levels? One Level has the tractor beam, energy and maybe other Equipment, but all others are filled with antimissle. How to bring them to work if the are obove each other? Simple! if you bring the pod to Action, the Levels will swing out like a Revolver drum and have a free fire line.
sprint drive
The missles from Technodyne at the battle of Torch had a sprint drive for the final attack. The sprint drive was taken from a antimissle, a normal interpellar drive. What would be, if you add to you shipkillers a chemical sprint drive? The bad Thing of the interpellar drive is, that you can see it very good on your sensors. A chemical drive is more "silent", and if your electronic combat warheads have still a interpellar, they would cover the "dissappering" warhead with chemical drive much better.
The current manticorian shipclasses are:
Destroyer - Roland class
Heavy Cruiser - Saganami C class
Battlecruiser- Nike and Agamemnon class
Superdreadnought - Invictus class
Carrier - doesn´t matter, the whole class is so new that there are no outdated ships.
Question is: "Is there no modern light cruiser in Service?" Or is the answer: "The xyz class light cruiser was the latest and newest ship of the fleet, but all of them was destroyed at Vulcan/Hepheistos!"
Patrol/Escort carrier
Manticore has some pod dropping Battlecruisers! Whar would be, if you remove the pod dropping ability and replace it by some LAC Hangars? In my eyes the result would be a good Escort and Patrol vessel.
In my eyes Manticore Needs a new downgraded "civil LAC"! The best way to protect the star Systems of the Talbott sector and the manticorian part of silesia would be LAC´s, but would it be wise to give them the Navy LAC´s with all the secret tecnology? Silesia is more corrupt than the solarian leage and that would´t Change that fast, so, if you give silesians accsess to the Navy LAC´s it would be, as if you send the Blueprints directly to Sol. Manticore know the Solarian Standard of wartecnology! In my eyes it would be logic to create a LAC, that ist one or two Generations above solarian Standard for local manticorian goverments. No one can steal critical Information and of course, for the locals is it easier to handle the LAC´s because the knowledge standart isn´t so high as in Manticore.
Ship building
The shipyards at the manticore System are lost! But, was that all what manticore has? Was Grendelsbane rebuild after the attack of haven? What is with Talbot and Silesia? Both have shipyards! Yes, there would be a bunch of Problem if you use thes shipyard and you could only build small ships like destroyer and Cruisers there, but if you try it maybe will work! The People in Talbott and Silesia don´t have the same Standard of knowledge as at manticore, but at the other side, they don´t have to build complete ships! You only need the docks of a shipyard for the heavy work of creating the bare hull! For the equipmentof the ship you can maybe use a normal repair Station! So, why you use the Talbott and Silesian shipyards to create naked hulls only outfitted with the Basics like life Support, lights, Hangars and other Military uncritical stuff? After that you put the Basic ships into a giant freighter nad bring them to manticore for the finish!
Space stations
If I remember it correct, the manticorians want rebuild their orbital industry in superspacestations again! Wouldn´t it be smarter to create some smaller space stations? If Transport is the Problem, you can use a Kind of the Transport System from one of the short stories. The one, were Honor helps at the avalance acciedent. The skihotel had a contagrav Transport System. Could such a System work between space stations? You have to build some sattelites betwenn the space stations. The sattelites create a Kind of contagrav tube between the space stations and you can send People and material between the stations like with a railroad or even like a Elevator.
What is the Connection between manticore an Grendelsbane? I read that there was a big shipyard at Grendelsbane that was destroyed after Haven start fighting again, but I don´t remember in what Connection the star System was to manticore!
One Thing I can imagine is, that Grendelsbane is the System and Alizone the habitable planit in it, but i don´t remember that that was clear said! Maybe a few words from the Admiral in the System after the Havens arrived for their attack, like "The Leader of Alizon won´t like that, what I have to do!" would made it clearer. Maybe I am wrong with my thoughts.
What Position has Alizon now? The danger from Haven is over. Will they stay at the side of manticore or do they say: "not against the solarians"?
What is the political Position of Erewhon after the Alliance between Manticore and Haven? Erewohn cancelled the alliance with Manticore and made an contract with Haven, but what is now? I don´t think that Erewohn will be back as a full allince member, not against the solarian league, but a defense Support contract or something else .....
Before Heaven start fighting again they have talking about to ask the People in the border Systems if the will stay in the Republic or not! Have they do that?
Is Honor still the comanding Admiral of the homefleet, or is she back on the planet? If there is no incomming enemy like the solarin fleet the homefleet fight it is a boring Job just to wait for nothing. Wouldn´t it be better, to send Honor back to the academy? She can teach the next Generation of officers in tactics and more important, can be home every evening. I haven´t children of my own, but isn´t it important to take part of the childhood of a child? Honor has a child! In the Honorverse People can reach an Age of centuries, but I don´t think a century would be enough to made a Connection to your child if you miss his childhood. And on the sight of storytelling: at the academy Honor is alway avilaible! If you Need her for a Chat with the Queen or the final hit against an enemy, you know were you can find her.
Maybe, if Honor personally should find her way back to the main stage, it could be an good idea, if the Alignement captured her and Nimitz! She is the only known human Empath and the Alignement want their Hand an a cat for a Long time! So, if they find Honors secret it could be the start for some new adventures! and it could be a way to bring some storylines together, like Zilwiki and Cachat searching for her, Admiral Henke who burned down everythig what is in her way if she know were Honor is....
only ideas!

You'll probably get better responses if you posted in the Honorverse forums.

Maybe you are right!
But i post it here, because I hope that Mr. Weber will read it and maybe took the one or other idea from me!
If I want it for General discussion I had post it at Honorverse!

Almost guaranteeing that he will not read this, as there are potential legal issues in an author using ideas proposed by someone else. As for your ideas and queries, I've answered a few of them:
Regarding the countermissiles(or antimissiles), the RMN/GSN in particular are able to fire more of these than they can control from their ships. This is partly redundancy, so if the ship takes damage and loses a few CM launchers, it can continue at maximum effectiveness. If too many are lost, they can switch to canisters, which is a standard missile body fitted with a small number of CMs, and fire them that way.
Chemical sprint drives are out of the question. No chemical drive can produce 90,000+ gravities of acceleration and sustain it for 30 seconds.
The RMN does have a light cruiser - Avalon class. It is, however, smaller than the Roland and armed with extended range single drive missiles. Most of them are deployed in Silesia, where they do not need multiple drives on their missiles. All of the new classes are considered transitional designs, whipped up in response to new technology and doctrine and IMO, all of them will be obsolete(or heavily superseded) in as little as 15 years.
Manticore has already deployed wings of Shrike and Ferrets to many Silesian and Talbott systems. They are currently manned by RMN personnel, not the locals. They will not give away their secrets so easily. And building a deliberately sub-par design is foolish for many reasons. The plan should issue the best equipment and carry on R&D to build even better equipment.
Haven is building new hulls at Bolthole to be sailed for final fitting out in Manticore using Beowulf-built components. Haven technology is far better than Silesian or Talbott.
Manticore is building two hardened space stations in place of each former station(for six total), all of which were built up rather haphazardly. But the problem with those stations weren't their toughness(or lack of), it was the surprise attack that gave them no time to bring up any defenses or do anything at all.
Grendelsbane is an uninhabited system that was set up as a fleet support base(like Hancock) and it simply grew into a full-sized shipyard. Alizon is a separate system that previously had battlecruiser construction, but was raided by Haven.
Erewhon looks set to play middleman between the Grand Alliance and the Maya Sector, when it decides to secede from the League. Right now their involvement is very unofficial. They do still have a separate defensive alliance with Haven, which would activate if Solarian raiders attack Haven.
Haven already shed hundreds of border systems when it changed back into a normal Republic. The remaining systems all have representation voting in Nouveau Paris and they have approved the alliance with Manticore.
I have the feeling that Honor will probably be stuck at Manticore until the GA has uncovered something crucial like a list of Renaissance Factor planets or the location of Darius. The Big Endgame, in other words. That's pretty much why Weber gave us the next generation in Talbott - Helen Zilwicki, Abigail Hearns and Naomi Kaplan, as well as Mike Henke(who herself is about to hit the too-senior-to-do-anything problem).

Thanks for the answer! It answers me some of my questions!
I Forget so say, that my my knowledge is limited till Admiral Henke´s attack of Meyers. All following books are not published in german yet!

It is always your choice not to have this test. But, it is important to understand the risks involved with this decision.
Heart disease that limits the blood supply to your heart, can exist even if there are no outward signs of disease. A heart condition left untreated can lead to serious health problems.
If you decline the procedure, your doctor can provide you with medicine and therapy based on your heart's condition, other tests and observations. With certain heart problems medication is NOT enough to keep your condition from getting worse and prevent stroke, heart attack, or even loss of life.

My wedding was less than two months away. It was August of 2014. Mars and Saturn were conjoining in the sign of the Scorpion, which happened to fall in my natal 7th house of marriage, and I was afraid and excited in equal measure. My soon to be wife had just left town for a week long spiritual retreat, leaving to study herbal medicine out in nature, and I was at home stewing in my anxiety about the future. Not only was planning our wedding stressful, but the reality of the vows themselves were weighing heavily on my mind.
Go backward in time now: It's the first week of August in 2010, four years earlier, and it's another Mars/Saturn Conjunction, this time in the sign of Libra. I'm in the process of breaking up with my then fiancé. We had been engaged for almost a year, but things began unraveling earlier that summer and it was becoming clear that we weren't right for each other. As Mars and Saturn conjoin, I say it out loud for the first time.
It's unbearably hot in our tiny West Village apartment in Manhattan. We have no air conditioning. The pressures of our jobs, money, and our unsolvable differences are so intense that I decide I have to get out of the apartment and go running. When I leave the apartment I run all the way to the Hudson river and then I follow the west side highway all the way down to the south end of Manhattan, where the ferries leave to take people to the Statue of Liberty. It occurs to me when I reach Battery Park that I'm trapped. I momentarily think about hopping on one of the ferries heading out to Liberty Island, as though touching the stones of the island will work some kind of magic.
We are dependent on each other financially, co-dependent emotionally, and telling the truth about the situation couldn't have been more difficult. As I stood there in the park I bent over and struggled to breathe because the air was so heavy and I was out of shape and out of breath. How had it come to this? How had I lost myself so entirely? How had either of us lost ourselves? Because to be clear, we were both feeling trapped. I thought again about taking the ferry out to Liberty Island. Couldn't some kind of prayer or mantra or magical incantation help us out? Then I heard a small voice. That simple, straight forward, no bullshit, "this is how it's got to be," kind of voice. And it said, "You just have to speak the truth and move forward." I sighed in frustration, lifted my head up, and started walking back to my apartment. I started lamenting the idea: but how will it happen, but when will I do it, but where will I go? Then I heard the voice again: "You need to run all the way home, do not stop, and you need to simply walk right up those stairs and into your apartment and speak the truth. If you walk home thinking about it too much, you won't do it."
I looked up at the sky, and then I looked back at the ferries sailing across the water toward Liberty Island, kids wearing liberty spiked head bands made out of green foam, parents looking exhausted while carrying armfuls of popcorn and hot dogs, and break dancers performing freely in the park for a small crowd. Then I started running again, as hard as I could, all the way back to my apartment.
It took months after I first said the words, "I don't think we should get married," but we finally did break up. During that in-between period, in addition to suffering through the pressures of the break up, I started a rigorous daily workout routine. From the day I ran all the way home to tell the truth to my fiancé until the day we finally broke up and she moved out, I kept my focus by working my body as hard as I could. As a result, by the time we parted ways I was feeling better about myself and my body than ever before, and the thought of another co-dependent style relationship made me nauseous. I was confident, liberated, happy, and single. And then, of course, I met my wife.
When I first met her it was only days after my ex had moved out. I did a birth chart reading for her over the telephone. She was a yoga instructor and herbalist from Maryland, and she was referred to me by another client. I liked the sound of her voice on the telephone, and afterward we connected with each other through social media and I saw her picture. That's when my heart skipped a beat. I was overwhelmingly attracted to her, but she was also exactly the kind of woman I never would have approached prior to getting in shape and prior to learning the lessons of my breakup. She was physically fit, confident, attractive, and incredibly independent. In fact I learned by reading her birth chart that she had three planets congregated in the sign of Aries, at the MC of her birth chart. Plus she was a Sun/Moon in Taurus. Confident, beautiful, spiritual, attractive, stable, accomplished, and most importantly, again, she was incredibly independent. It was the first time in my life I approached a woman feeling seriously terrified but wildly courageous all at once, an equal blend of fear and excitement.
Within weeks we had started exchanging emails semi-regularly and were also talking casually on skype late at night, though we lived more than five hours apart. She had also recently gotten out of a relationship, and although she said she liked me she wasn't ready to commit to another relationship yet. She wasn't going to dive into another serious commitment until she had taken more time for herself. I criticized her and told her she was being too proud and too principled about her independence when it was clear that we were both crazy about each other. Nonetheless, she rejected me and we went our separate ways. She went on a solo spiritual quest to Peru, and I went on a dating frenzy in Manhattan. Several weeks later she emailed me. While she was in Peru she read a book that I had written about my own spiritual experiences in Peru. She emailed me and invited me to guest teach astrology and give a reading from my book at a yoga retreat she was leading in the Spring of 2011. She said she learned a lot about herself in Peru, and she said she was glad we were still friends. I agreed, though I was still feeling bitter about getting rejected by her romantically. Truth be told, I was also bitter that she had acted more maturely than I had. Of course it didn't make sense for either of us to dive into another serious relationship right away. I resented the fact she had been stronger than me on that point.
When I finally met her in person at the yoga retreat, the attraction between us hadn't gone anywhere. Mars and Saturn were in an opposition to one another, and I could tell that she liked me even though she was trying her hardest to remain focused on her leadership duties. I teased her any chance I could, trying to put chinks in the armor of her withholdings, but she was completely iron clad and impenetrable. Finally, as we were packing up to leave, she found me in the privacy of my cabin and said, "So, I think we should hang out sometime." I could tell she wasn't sure if she was betraying herself, or her principles, or her independence. I could tell she wasn't sure she was doing the right thing, and for some reason it annoyed me, and so I said, "I think I need to stay focused on myself for the moment. But thank you."
In my head on the bus ride home that same night I thought to myself, "That's right. You don't need people who think you're second best." Then over the loud speaker on the bus, the driver suddenly announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed by US forces in Pakistan. A wave of cheering and clapping swept across the bus, and a jocular man about twice my size stood up in the aisle and pumped his fists up and down and cried out "YEAHHH BABY YEAH!"He looked right at me, anticipating that I would respond to him somehow, and so I stood up and we chest bumped. He started chanting, "U. S. A. – U. S. A."
I sat down and within ten minutes I felt deeply ashamed of myself. "Why didn't you just say yes to her? You fucking idiot. You should be happy that she's so independent. You're acting like a moron."
And even though I told myself the truth, sitting there on the bus listening to people chant USA, USA, it would still take time for the truth to take hold of the situation. It literally took me several weeks to finally call her and apologize and then ask her out again. She obliged and said she was actually coming up to New York that very weekend. She said it would be nice to meet up for lunch or dinner.
Flash forward: We're finally sitting down for dinner, and the first thing she says to me is, "I'm glad we're finally sitting down as friends." She emphasizes the word "friends" like a grade school teacher telling an unruly child to return to his seat. I'm shocked to hear her say this because I'm thinking we're on a date. "Wait a minute," I say. "I mean. I should have said yes when you asked me out at the end of the retreat. I was just being stubborn. I want to see you." "Oh," she says. "I thought you were pretty clear about your feelings." The look on her face says, "You lost your chance a-hole."
"I'm here to see someone else, anyway," she adds, casually. "I assumed we were meeting up as friends." I can tell by the look on her face that she's pleased to be putting me in my place. "Right," I say. "Excuse me for a minute. I need to use the bathroom."
I'm standing in the bathroom, looking into the mirror. "Unfucking real. How many times are we going to go back and forth like this?"
The answer was once more. Later that summer she broke up with the guy she was seeing. I knew it hadn't worked out because I got a text message from her that said, "Thinking of you." The text included a picture of her sticking her tongue out at me. And even though my heart skipped a beat and I was nothing but smiles seeing the picture, it took all my strength, far more strength than the kind of strength I had built lifting weights for more than a year, to resist the urge to say, "Sorry. I'm not going to be your second best." But instead I told the truth. I replied, "Will you marry me?" She responded, "Haha. I knew you would say something like that."
When we kissed for the first time we were sitting in the backseat of a Taxi, driving up the west side highway, the same one I had sprinted up and down before saying, "I don't think we should get married" to my ex. After we kissed, I said, "Well that took us long enough." And she said, "Good things take a long time to get right."
Flash Forward: In August of 2014, while my soon to be wife was away on her retreat and I was home alone, during another Mars/Saturn conjunction, I contemplated the nature of my upcoming wedding vows, and it was at this time that I realized (through studying past transits) that many of the significant stages of our relationship had come during Saturn/Mars periods. Not surprisingly, Saturn is the ruler of my wife's 7th house and Mars is the ruler of my 7th house (for those who don't know, the 7th house is the house of marriage).
When she returned, we planned out our vows and the details of the ceremony, and during that process I shared with her the symbolism of what I had discovered about our love story and all the previous Mars/Saturn transits. Each one had represented a challenge between us but a simultaneous deepening of our honesty, love, and commitment to one another. She asked me, "Does that mean we're just selfish and stubborn and competitive people?" And I said, "Maybe. But think it also means that when two people take themselves seriously, and take each other seriously, and take their work seriously, really deep and lasting things can be made."
As Mars and Saturn are coming together again this year, and my wife and I have just become the parents of a beautiful little girl, my prayer is that our vows to each other will continue to deepen.
Prayer: Strengthen our commitments to the divine, to ourselves and our spiritual callings, and to each other. May every difficulty provide us with an opportunity for focusing on what really matters.

Since fast-food workers first began protesting for better pay earlier this year, they've been joined by everyone from President Obama to wealthy Silicon Valley conservative Ron Unz in calling for a higher minimum wage.
But little has changed in Elida Munoz's life in that time. The 37-year-old mother of two still work two fast-food jobs - one at Jack-in-the-Box in Oakland, the other at KFC in Emeryville. One shift runs from 9:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and the other begins at 8 p.m. and ends at 4:15 a.m.
The big change in her life is that now she's seven months pregnant, with little prospect that her pay will go up. In the nine years that she's worked as a cashier at Jack-in-the-Box, her wage has increased by only $1.40 an hour, to $9.40. She's worked at KFC for 17 years and makes $9 an hour, $1 above the state's minimum wage.
On Thursday, Munoz was among a couple of hundred activists, fast-food workers and union workers at a demonstration at a McDonald's near Lake Merritt in Oakland, calling for a $15-per-hour minimum wage. The boisterous but peaceful lunchtime demonstration was among 100 that fast-food workers and their supporters held around the country.
Munoz says she could use a few extra dollars in her pocket. Her 15-year-old daughter recently asked for a laptop and extra books for school, "but I had to tell her we have no money," she said.
Not enough
Even though Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation this fall to raise California's minimum wage to $10 an hour by 2016, advocates say that's not enough.
An October study by the UC Berkeley Labor Center found that 52 percent of the families of fast-food workers are enrolled in one or more public assistance programs, compared with 25 percent of the workforce as a whole.
"It's great to see that there's been a building consciousness about this issue, but there is a lot more work to be done," said Nikki Fortunato Bas, executive director of the East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy. "In the Bay Area, these workers need a lot more to survive."
Cost to taxpayers
In California, researchers estimate that low-paid fast-food workers are costing taxpayers $717 million a year in state and federal assistance, according to the UC center's study, which was co-authored by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Rep. George Miller, D-Martinez, is co-sponsoring a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10 from its current $7.25 and link it to cost-of-living increases. Obama has called for a similar move.
Initiative started
Unz, the primary sponsor of a 1998 English-only ballot measure that all but eliminated bilingual education in California, is gathering signatures for an initiative that would increase the state's minimum wage to $12 an hour in 2016. He argues that paying workers more will reduce their dependence on government aid.
But Steve Caldeira, president and CEO of the International Franchise Association, which represents fast-food restaurants among its 825,000 member businesses worldwide, said proponents of minimum wage hikes "ignore the fact that this policy will jeopardize opportunities for entry-level workers to gain the skills they need to move up the employment ladder.
"Such a drastic move will hurt the very people the policy was originally intended to help."

sega has run phantasy star into the ground this is terrible.
Sega has made a lot of bad business decisions over the past 20 years.
The world as we know it has ended.

In many cases, (not including the Shining series, that was pretty dumb) they were pretty legitimate reasons for not coming overseas. (Much to our dismay as fans of these games, but that's just how things go sometimes.) But really, the fact of the matter is that Sega has many, many, MANY subsidiaries which have been generally good with releasing their games stateside. Atlus isn't going to stop making the things they make, they're just gonna keep on trucking along. Another thing not to forget is that Atlus isn't JUST a developer. They are also PUBLISHERS who publish their own games. All Sega-Sammy's gonna do is act as the majority stockholder and overseers. The only time they'd really interfere would be if Atlus was in active financial trouble.Sega may have made some dumb decisions with their in-house studios, but Atlus is NOT an in-house studio. They are an acquisition that will, in all likelihood, be working entirely on their own.
I'm mostly worried about Atlus USA. I always felt like they broadened the niche gaming market they were operating in, and helped open the path for companies like NIS and XSeed to start doing more localization work too.

What's Cooking Wednesday: Dinner for a Crowd: Super Simple Grilled Chicken
Please go to The Fairy Blogmother for more What's Cooking Wednesday participants.
I've had a wonderful group of teens that I've worked with on writing for the past couple of years. Last year, they had a class on writing short stories with me, and this year, basically the same group took a course in advanced creative writing, where they worked on projects of their own choice. Next year, however, I start with a new crop for a "tasting" class in all aspects of creative writing, and most of these folks will be moving on to other things: one has just graduated, two are leaving for different schooling environments, etc.
Each semester, we put together a group project, based on a movie. The first semester we saw Once Upon a Mattress and the students came in the next day and wrote a movie musical script collaboratively, and this semester they did the same thing with a Noir piece after watching To Have and Have Not(okay, so To Have and Have Not is not exactly Noir, but they still managed Noir after seeing it). What was rejected this semester was screwball comedy, although the votes between screwball and noir were just about split, so I promised them a post school-year evening of screwball and dinner.
So we watched Bringing Up Baby with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, and if you haven't seen it, you really should. It's hysterical. Truly.
Then there was the issue of what to serve: if you've got a bunch of teenage boys coming over, it's easy - meat and carbs and sugar - and lots of all three. This, however, was a group of girls. So I reached back into my memories for favorites of my exchange daughters over the years and this is what we had: Super Simple Grilled Chicken, Caprese Salad, Garlic Bread and homemade Strawberry Shortcake. I think it's safe to say that the menu was a hit, and I was happy to entertain these students whose writing and personalities I had so enjoyed over the past couple of years.
The chicken recipe has been a "go-to" for me this spring; I love the melding of flavors and the simplicity of the whole thing. I really took a page from Italian cuisine in terms of some of the 3-4 ingredient pasta dishes that I so love.
I meant to get a photo of all the chicken cooking on the grill, but I was too busy cooking at that point, and forgot. Needless to say, this can feed a CROWD. We ended up with about 1/3 of it left over, but that's just fine, because there are myriad uses for leftover chicken. You can also cut this recipe way down, by using just one lb. of chicken and halving the marinade.
Super Simple Grilled Chicken
To get an idea of just how simple, here are the ingredients:
4 - 6 lbs of a mixture of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and drumsticks (I find these are the two most popular cuts for a crowd)
1/2 cup of olive oil
2 big, honking lemons
4 - 6 cloves of garlic, smashed
1 TBS kosher salt
1 hefty sprig of rosemary
1. About 6 - 8 hours before cooking, wash and pat dry chicken pieces and cut each breast half in half again, so that you have portions of about 3-4 oz. Place all pieces in one, quart-size freezer bag. (Yes, you can be more ecological and place these in a pan, but I didn't have enough room in the fridge, and I actually think the bag method works better for marinating - I almost never use these, but for this recipe, I do).
2. Whisk together all the other ingredients (well, in the case of the lemons, the juice of those lemons), and carefully pour the marinade into the bag with the chicken.
3. Seal the bag and squeeze everything to distribute the marinade.
4. Place bag in the fridge and every time you open the fridge that day, change the position of the bag, to make sure every morsel of chicken gets marinated.
5. About 40 minutes before serving time (because usually you have to cook the chicken in batches) prep your grill for direct, high heat.
6. Watching for flare-ups, place chicken on the grill. The breast pieces will need 4 - 6 minutes on each side, and the drumsticks will need 8 - 10. If you're using a gas grill, cook these with the lid ON.
Note: To those watching your waistlines - don't worry about the massive quantities of olive oil - almost all of the marinade comes off as you take the chicken from the bag, so you end up with about 1/2 tsp olive oil per piece of chicken.

Ooh, this is a good one and I can find all that stuff easily. Would sea salt work in lieu of kosher?
- June 10, 2009 at 8:26 AM
- Jen said...
Yes, sea salt would work, Lilac, but it's just that the Kosher salt works a little more powerfully. BTW... sometimes in Germany you can find kosher salt as "Margarita salt" - maybe in Belgium, too?

Yum! I can't wait to make this.
Totally with you on the zipper-lock bag marinade strategy. I also use them when I brine pork chops.

Luisa, I have to say that those bags work for certain things in a way that nothing else does. Sad, but true.
BTW... I am so making your version of poutine some time this week!!!

Yum. This menu sounds perfect for a spring/summer day.
I can't find Kosher salt (only sea salt) in the supermarkets. I used it a lot in the States.
I wonder if one of the international food stores have it.

Chicken is always the perfect thing for a party (or any other occasion, really) I'll check the movies you mentioned out and write my report LOL
- June 10, 2009 at 10:52 AM
- Jen said...
NYC... Hmmm... maybe it's just not very available in Europe. That seems so strange, though. Basically, it's just the larger crystals. And I agree - it's a lovely summer dish, best when eaten outdoors.
Ben - All three movies are kind of over-the-top and a bit strange, but Bringing Up Baby, in particular, is a real hoot.

These look amazing! I actually prefer chicken over beef for grilling. We may light up the Q this weekend, and I would love these.
- June 10, 2009 at 12:21 PM

Me, too, Momisodes. I think many women do, and that's partly why I chose chicken for these girls. I'm also a sucker for any chicken/citrus combination.

Thanks, Anno - the thing, too, was that the whole meal was very simple, which was a bonus. I really had such a good time with all the girls.
Thanks for stopping by, Twins! Bringing up Baby is, indeed, a classic!

Twins - I'm guessing that was Rita, due to the love of "Baby" - I love your blog! I am hoping you see this, though, because I can't post on it, and others may not be able to, either. There is a bug with the embedded comments option - many people can't post to it. If you use pop-up or full page, you should be able to receive all your comments. Lovely blog, though - I'm following it, at least.

Sounds like you ladies had a great time! And lemon and chicken is pretty much the best combination ever. Thanks for sharing :)

Val, it truly is. The grill person has to be attentive to the grill for a bit, though.

Mariposa, I can't wait to read it. I'm about to get mine up and posted in a little while. I guess I should try to put up a Mr. Linky, too.
Los A - I hope he enjoys it. Most of the summer recipes will be vegetarian, though, I'm guessing.
- June 12, 2009 at 6:25 AM
I am more of a blogger than a true writer, but I did have a few teachers who encouraged me to read & write more in high school; they showed a real interest in my abilities & inclinations & I appreciated it so much.
I don't believe I've ever seen Bringing Up Baby, but I can remember my Mother talking about it in such a way that I feel like I did see it.
I was just blog hopscotching around & found you...~Mary

New types of livelihoods feed families while protecting the forests
Jenerica Aule, 32, is a widowed mother of 4 and the sole breadwinner of her family. Charcoal production and selling used to be her only source of income.
"The charcoal business is strenuous," she says. "I used to make between 600 to 1,000 shillings [$7-$11] every two weeks, and this was not enough to meet our needs. When business was bad, my children and I would go without food."
Climate change has become a reality in Aule's village. Droughts and famine are becoming more frequent, wiping out herds of livestock traditionally kept as a source of income.
For many, charcoal which is produced by burning wood, is now the only opportunity to earn money. But the trade is stripping rural areas of trees—negatively impacting the country's climate. These forests store water during the rainy season and release it slowly, thus ensuring water flow during dry periods.
Through support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), a growing number of Kenyans are discovering ways to earn a better living without destroying the environment that sustains them. Aule is one of them.
With the information she learned at an alternative livelihoods training in March 2013, Aule was able to quit selling charcoal and start a small grocery business. The training taught Aule and her women's group how to keep proper business records and determine profits and losses. They also learned about loans and loan repayment. Each member of the group now contributes 50 Kenyan shillings, or 50 cents, per week. From the collective savings, members are able to take out loans and repay them with interest.
In December 2013, Aule took her first loan of 800 Kenyan shillings ($9.50). She used the funds to increase her stock to meet the high demand during the Christmas period.
"I never knew that keeping 50 shillings would have such a big impact on my life. By saving 50 shillings every week, the stock in my shop—which was initially worth only 325 shillings [$4]—has now grown to 5,000 shillings [$59]," she said.
Aule can now afford to feed her family and consistently pay her children's school fees.
Upon graduation, her group received certification that enables them to apply for the Women Enterprise Fund and other funds that give them access to financial services to grow their businesses over the long term. Aule and her group were among 115 graduates from the training program. Close to 2,600 people, the majority of whom are women, are now enrolled in the training program.
USAID is helping Kenyans find ways to earn a living that do not have detrimental effects on the environment. With access to financing and business training, Kenyans like Aule can start and sustain new livelihoods and build a solid foundation for green economic growth. Pastoral communities in Kenya's northern arid and semiarid lands are learning to adapt to and bounce back from shocks such as drought and take actions to cope with the effects of climate change.
In 2013, USAID worked with nearly 144,400 people in Kenya's northern arid lands in activities focused on building resilience.
Launched in 2012, USAID's Resilience and Economic Growth in Arid Lands-Improving Resilience activity is implemented by African Development Solutions and its five consortium partners.
This activity is a key component of USAID Kenya's $70 million resilience program that focuses on strengthening social, economic and environmental resilience for vulnerable communities. As part of the larger U.S. Government global hunger and food security initiative, Feed the Future, the activity is strengthening and diversifying livelihoods, improving the management and productivity of natural resources, preventing conflict and improving nutrition.

A few years ago, Brazilian developer Daniel Neis Araujo couldn't imagine building open source health care equipment that could compete with traditional and respected proprietary solutions. But recent advances in Linux and the open hardware movement have allowed a faster development pace and a lower cost of entry for startups in the telemedicine field, in particular, he said.
So six months ago he co-founded Atto Systems Engineering in Florianópolis, Brazil, with the aim of making intercommunication between medical devices better and cheaper. They're using Android on BeagleBoard to help solve some critical issues, including system consistency after crashes over time, touchscreen interfacing, supported hardware and overall system performance.
"We think that if we can push a little more of the "linux philosophy" into this field, we'll make it better," Neis Araujo said via email.
The startup has faced some criticism from the health care establishment for its open source technical approach, he said. But they're trying to solve problems that would otherwise have no commercial viability.
"When a few kids, in a short time … creat(e) solutions as good, as stable and cheaper than the few proprietary ones, well, they are magicians (not the case), or the technical tools they use must be really powerful," Neis Araujo said.
Open Source Professional
This is not his first open source project. Neis Araujo has worked since 2005 as a developer on Moodle, a Learning Management System at Federal University of Santa Catarina that provides virtual classrooms for teachers and students to interact via forums, quizzes and other activities.
He later went to work for the university, helping to maintain its main Moodle deployment and assist in e-learning undergraduate and post-graduate courses. He's worked with Linux since taking an undergraduate computer science class in 2004.
"Today, the whole infrastructure we use for the Moodle deploys at UFSC are based on Linux, Apache and MySQL (and recently we're trying Nginx)," he said. "I help tune and keep all these services running for 500K+ visits / week."
He recently joined The Linux Foundation as an individual member to give back to the community and get more involved with kernel development. Welcome Daniel!

Even More Female Illustrators You Should Know
I still haven't managed to locate any biographical details about Margaret Nielsen Fleming. From what I've found of her work, I know that in the early '50s she did quite a few assignments for various women's magazines and worked in an appealing cartoony style.
Throughout the '50s Nielsen Fleming seems to have consistently landed assignments - mostly for small magazine spot illustrations. Her style evolved a gradually to incorporate aspects of the then modern 'look' of commercial art.
Was Nielsen Fleming a 'jobbing' illustrator? Perhaps. The only reference to her later career I could find was on amazon.com, where she is credited for creating three volumes of clip-art for the Dover company, this one below in 1994.
Ginnie Hofmann
After graduating from Cincinnati Art Academy in 1942, Ginnie Hofmann moved to New York, where she contributed illustrations to many magazines during the 1950s. She counted Woman's Day, Good Housekeeping, Parent's Magazine and Mademoiselle among her clients.
But by far, her best client was McCall's magazine, for which she drew the popular Betsy McCall paper doll feature from 1958 to 1986.
You can find a huge selection of Ginnie Hofmann's Betsy McCall pages at this link. In 1995, Hofmann illustrated a special hardbound edition of The Joy of Cooking. More recently she was writing and illustrating children's books.
Jane Oliver
In a 1950s magazine article Jane Oliver described herself as a "regularly employed artist working in the commercial field."
Despite that statement, there aren't many examples of her commercial work available (the piece below from Collier's is one of only two or three I've ever found.
Oliver seems to have had a life-long passion for fine art watercolour painting, to which she brought a degree of abstraction similar to that found in her commercial art. Oliver was a member of the New Jersey Watercolor Society and won its Silver Medal of Honour Award in 1955.
Mary Suzuki
She advised the young Andy Warhol to "draw shoes."
During the 1950s, Suzuki was doing exactly that...
... and drawing many distinctive, stylized fashion spreads for Harper's Bazaar, Seventeen and other women's magazines.
Later in her career Mary Suzuki illustrated clothing patterns for Butterick and other pattern suppliers. She also designed clothes.
Miriam Troop
What great luck! Just this morning I discovered a youtube video from 2009 in which Miriam Troop gives a first-hand account of her early days as a young professional illustrator in New York City. A fascinating seven minutes with many examples of her work - enjoy!
10 comments:
Leif, this is priceless - I can't help but feel that Mary Suzuki's advice to a young Warhol informed his fascination with products, and later his take on Pop Art. One of his first jobs was to illustrate Amy Vanderbilt's book of etiquette. Some members may not know that he's the uncle of illustrator James Warhola, who did a wonderful storybook called Uncle Andy's!ReplyDelete
And thanx so much for the link to Miriam Troop's video - I had no idea that the Society of Illustrators had a portrait program in Korea! Any idea who the other participants were?
I don't Ken, but I'm hoping some other TO readers recognize the guys in that photo. I'd love to know who went with Miss Troop on that journey.ReplyDelete
Hey Leif,ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting the info on Ginnie Hofmann's work. Her Betsy McCall paper dolls kept me busy on many rainy days. I had a huge collection of them my mom had saved from her childhood. I couldn't wait for the new month of mcCalls to cut out my new ones. I really love this whole series of women illustrators. They are such great inspiration.
Such a neat blog you have! I LOVE it!ReplyDelete
(The link to the Betsy McCall pages is to my web site.)
Did you see the other sections of the site, such as for Hallmark's Vivian Smith, or for the children's books and paper dolls by Hilda Miloche?
I think I found her.ReplyDelete

Well and Hearts share points
Motherwell again failed to find the net at Fir Park as they were held by Hearts in a goalless Clydesdale Bank Premier League contest.
The home side had the better of the second half after a poor first 45 minutes but their final ball was lacking.
Hearts had a penalty claim rejected when Darren Randolph caught Callum Paterson with his knee as he collected a high ball but referee Crawford Allan was the best-placed man in the stadium to judge and did not appear to think twice about ignoring the appeals.
Both sides were unchanged after victories last weekend but Motherwell could not find the form of their 5-1 win at Inverness, their fourth on the road this season.
They have now only won once in 10 home games and have failed to score in four of the last five matches at Fir Park.
The game started well enough with Randolph diving well to push away Ryan Stevenson's powerful free-kick.
Motherwell's first chance came when Chris Humphrey got round Danny Grainger and found Michael Higdon with a deep cross but the striker headed wide from a difficult opportunity.
The controversy came in the 13th minute when Randolph and Paterson chased a high ball from opposite directions. The home player was favourite to get to the ball and did so but sparked an angry reaction from several visiting players after colliding with the Hearts striker.
On initial viewing, the Republic of Ireland international's trailing boot appeared to have come down on to Paterson's face but television replays showed the movement was entirely natural after Randolph caught the striker with his knee as he leapt for the ball.
Allan was ideally placed and re-started the game following treatment by dropping the ball to Randolph after deciding there was no intent or dangerous play. The goalkeeper later took the opportunity to apologise to Paterson during a break in play.
There was little else to get excited about in the first half. Higdon came closer with another header from a Humphrey cross but Jamie MacDonald dived to push the ball away.
Hearts were slightly the better team before the break with their 4-2-3-1 formation allowing youngsters Jamie Walker and Jason Holt some freedom to attack along with Stevenson.
The trio combined to set up Paterson to turn and shoot 22 yards out but Randolph got down well to hold.
Grainger, who earlier hurt his left knee as he fell awkwardly, went off in the 51st minute just after being booked for a body check on Humphrey. Mehdi Taouil came on with Darren Barr dropping into the back four.
Motherwell had stepped up a gear after the break but their crossing was consistently letting down their build-up play.
Higdon had another chance when Jamie Murphy broke forward and played him through but MacDonald was quickly out and got a hand to the ball as the striker tried to skip round him.
Higdon played it back for Murphy but Hearts had plenty of players blocking the way to goal and Dylan McGowan diverted the ball wide.
Randolph saved from Walker but Hearts were becoming more reliant on the counter-attack.
Motherwell hit the bar midway through the half, but only as a result of another wayward cross as Humphrey's centre bounced on top of the goal frame.
Humphrey threatened again with 10 minutes left in more impressive fashion, beating Ryan McGowan on the edge of the box and firing a powerful effort that MacDonald blocked.
Henrik Ojamaa set up Higdon from the resulting corner but the striker could not get hold of his shot, and soon diverted the ball just wide of the near post after a cross from the Estonian, although he was challenged well by Marius Zaliukas.
Hearts almost snatched victory in the final seconds when Ryan McGowan headed just wide from a corner.

Pictures of American Cities
Select Audiovisual Records
National Archives and Records Administration
College Park, MD 20740
The Still Picture Branch of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) preserves and services a collection of more than 5 million photographs, many thousands of which deal with the American city. The selection of photographs listed in this publication depicts the city. its development, and its people and their way of life from the early 19th century to recent times. They were selected for their aesthetic quality and historical relevance to the development of urban America and are classified under the following headings: Artists' Conceptions of 19th-Century Cities, Skylines and Streets, City Life, Urban Transportation, The City in Turmoil, and 20th-Century Art Reflecting Urban Themes. Some items are photographic copies of works of art. The dates and mediums of the originals and the names of the artists are given whenever it has been possible to determine them. This information is followed by the identification number in italics. Under the first heading photographs are arranged alphabetically by name of city; under all other headings photographs are arranged chronologically. Asterisks denote items available in color. An index by city follows the list.
To order individual prints, negatives, or slides, write to the Still Pictures Reference for a current pricelist. Many photographs relating to the American city are not included in this list. Separate inquires about them should be as specific as possible, including names, dates, places, and other details.

This is how it works: I post a few lines from a cozy mystery. You post the title and author in the comment section. Then, I'll draw a random name from the winning guesses and post that person's name on this page and on Facebook by 10 p.m. on June 2nd.
