NoMoJo Society and Contest Winners!
1. MPax who now has an insufferably cute case of E. Coli
2. Walk2write, who can now share Chicken Pox with her grandson (and not feel guilty about it)
3. Melody, who'd prefer to curl up with a book instead of an infection (hard to argue with that!)
4. Jonene, who earned herself the irritating yet adorable common cold!
I'll be emailing you for addresses soon. :)
Thanks to everyone for being so supportive and joining in the fun.
On to today's post!
Recently I found myself in the valley between finishing the first draft of a novel and digging into revisions.
The runner's high of laying out the story was behind; what remained was the work of fixing all the mistakes I knew I made.
I'd lost my mojo for the time being. Not the Austin Powers type, but that self-confidence in my ability and in my WIP.
Welcome to the NoMoJo club.
Our mascot is the immovable brick.
Our drink of choice is molasses.
Our motto: "Meh."
Have you ever been in this place before?

The thing about loss of mojo is that it might be possible to keep going, but without the verve. Better to give it time to pass, move on to something different for a while and get the pasion back. The mood could even be used for criticism of the WIP, constructive of course!

Dude, I am the QUEEN of Meh at times! HUGS
- February 4, 2011 at 8:29 AM

Yes, been there! Put it aside a few days. Take a break from writing or do some poetry or short story!
Congrats to the contest winners! Fun contest, Lydia!

Not the Austin Powers type... hehe you had me cracking up!!!!
PS I love your profile photo... is that a picture of you?! Did someone take it?! I love it!!
- February 4, 2011 at 8:34 AM
- Carol Kilgore said...
Yes. I hate it. I never want to visit it again.
The only thing I can say is give it a day. Two. No more than a week. Then make yourself work on it for a few minutes at a time and gradually increase the time you force yourself to sit and stare at the words you've written. It really doesn't take too long to get your groove back [borrowing those words I wish I'd written].

- Old Kitty said...
I think I'm in it now!!! :-)
I think maybe a nice evening out (or in!!) with some pampering is in order! Yay for you!!!! I think writers give themselves such a hard time even if they've achieved so so so much!! So well done you!!!!
Congratulations to the winners!!
Take care

Take a step back and breath. Even write something just for fun. I've been in a slump for over a month. Never happened to me before. But it's my own fault. I've been stressing over my new plot which had dampened my creativity. Just yesterday I threw up my hands and guess what? I had a break-through in the main plot. It's not perfect yet, but it's movement.
Be easier on yourself. It will all work out.
Congrats winners!
- February 4, 2011 at 8:45 AM
- Em said...
Congrats to the winners!
Yup, been there. And I have to agree, the only way out is through. I take between a week and a month between writing and rewriting. That whole distance thing. Then, if I haven't stepped up, I force myself to step up.
I also find it helpful to print out a copy. It's easy to be resistant to this over ecological reasons, but there really isn't a way to get around it. Once the first draft is done, the hard copy helps me think, gives me something to sit with and put a pen on, helps make the fact that this is something worth doing. It's real, it's a book, now all I need to do is make it a better book.
- February 4, 2011 at 8:49 AM
- BECKY said...
Oh yeah! I get stuck there, too. I read somewhere (and wish I could say who wrote it)something about when you're suffering from that lack of confidence, go ahead and give in to it for a little while. Write to yourself! Write: You suck! Your writing stinks!etc.Just get it all out of your system. And then you'll begin to fight back.. It DID help!
- February 4, 2011 at 8:59 AM
- Melissa Gill said...
I am SO THERE! I finished my WIP at the end of NaNo (November). Took the month of December off to let it sit, (goody for me). Now it's February, and I've yet to make any clear progress. I've done some work on it, but if you make that molasses in January, you'll have the picture.
I joined a twitter challenge to write 10,000 words this weekend. If I can get half that done on revisions I'll be thrilled.

Oh. Yeah! and it's tricky business getting out of it, especially in February, the Molasses Month...
- February 4, 2011 at 10:18 AM
- Heather said...
I have been there but oddly it's the writing process that does that to me, not the editing. I must be wired funny.
- February 4, 2011 at 10:29 AM
- Unknown said...
Oh yeah. I'm definitely here right now. *raises cup of molasses* I love that term, NoMoJo. So appropriate. *nods head* *nudges brick*

Oh, yes, I'm there too.

- Abby Minard said...
Dude, I'm there. It's so daunting to look at that huge stack of pages with the markups all over them, waiting to be fixed. It's slow going, but I'm plowing through. Definitely not as fast as I was when writing the thing. But I feel pretty steady with it. It'll get done someday ;p Keep your head up, if you do a little each day, it'll start to make a difference. Good luck with revisions!
- February 4, 2011 at 1:01 PM
- Melody Valadez said...
I won? I won! :D My day...is made! :)
Also, I should most definitely join the NoMoJo Society, because I've pretty much lived there. It takes a lot of mental 'psyching up' to dive in and edit again. le sigh. But I'm almost done! :D
- February 4, 2011 at 1:18 PM
- Golden Eagle said...
Congratulations to the winners!
- February 4, 2011 at 2:20 PM
- Faith said...
I'm *constantly* in that place... which is probably why I have written four books and fully edited none. And why I feel so stalled with my writing career. *sigh* I wish I knew how to break that 'meh' barrier!

Congratulations to the winners.
Yeah, the NoMoJo club gets me pretty frequently. I keep trying to dissolve my membership and it keeps not working. :(
Stop by my blog on Monday for a special announcement :)
- February 4, 2011 at 3:37 PM
- M Pax said...
Cutest E. Coli there is! Thank you!
Been there. I make a road map then break it down into sections. I put blinders on and go at it one chapter at a time.
Deadlines help. Very motivating. Last year I had one for a conference. Recently, I used ABNA for another revision. It's amazing how much you focus with a deadline.
Now I need to find a deadline for my second novel.
- February 4, 2011 at 3:53 PM
- Sarah said...
That's brilliant! Er, and I'm sorry. I was a member of this club for the entire month of January, and I actually just ditched an ms because I simply felt "meh" about it. But now I've started something new and am feeling refreshingly manic. May you find your mojo soon.
- February 4, 2011 at 4:16 PM

Where is the blog award for this. I'd proudly display it on my blog. Yep, I'm so in this club. :)

Congratulations to the winners! I'm so tempted to go out and buy my own little common cold, now. :)
I think I'm permanently in the NoMoJo club -- or so it feels. Hope you'll be kicked out soon! ;)
- February 4, 2011 at 7:19 PM
- Colene Murphy said...
Meh. Terrible! I'm sorry!! Hope that lifts soon!
- February 4, 2011 at 9:19 PM
- ~Sia McKye~ said...
Oh God yes. It gets discouraging at times, doesn't it. Or maybe a better word would be overwhelming. As in where to start. I've learned to step back and then come back and look at it again. Fresher WIP eyesight, you know. lolol!
I have also learned not to allow myself drown in the details. I take a section at a time. When I think I have it in a good spot, I move to the next. Meanwhile I have several good readers (several who are published) that give it to me straight or give suggestions. It helps.

Congrats to the winners!
And yes, I know exactly what you mean! "Meh" has been my motto at times ;)

I don't think I've been there before but who knows. Some events from my life are a bit blurry LOL!

Give it some time and the mojo will be back. If it isn't back in two weeks then take a bubble bath, eat some chocolate and read through some of your previous chapters. That should get your juices flowing. Then get writing.
- February 5, 2011 at 1:08 PM
- Cat Lavoie said...
I've been an on/off member of the NoMoJo Society for the last few years. Give yourself a bit of time and I'm sure you'll find your mojo! Good luck! :)

Hey Lydia, it is great that you've found your winners, but not so great that you've temporarily lost your mojo. But you'll not be lonely in no-mojo-land. Plenty of us to keep you company!
Congrats, winners!

Bush on May 9, 2002 to receive the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest award for lifetime achievement in fields of scientific research.Dr. Likens, with colleagues, was the first to document the link between the increasing acidity of precipitation and fossil fuel combustion in North America, and the long-term consequences of this phenomenon – acid rain. The results of his long-term research at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire have catalyzed vigorous public policy dialogue, stimulated new scientific studies, and raised awareness of the connections between human activities and the ecosystems upon which humans are dependent. His work and the attention it commanded led to national legislation addressing the effects of acid rain. His approach is now a guiding paradigm in the science of ecology and in the application of this science to finding solutions for global environmental problems, including deforestation, the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and eutrophication."I am truly honored and pleased by the award, but I am particularly excited about the visibility and opportunity it provides for ecology and environmental science," Dr. Likens said.The National Medal of Science honors individuals in a variety of fields for pioneering scientific research that has enhanced our basic understanding of life and the world around us. The National Science Foundation administers the award established by Congress in 1959. "We are proud of these extraordinary people - and grateful for their unceasing inquisitiveness, creativity and dedication to obtain new knowledge for the good of all humankind," NSF Director Rita Colwell stated. Including this year's laureates, the honor has been conferred on 401 distinguished scientists and engineers.The honorees received the medals at a White House ceremony on June 12, 2002.

|Jamaat attacks cops again: 8 injured in 2 districts
|[Bangla Daily Star] Eight more coppers, including an assistant commissioner and an OC, were maimed during attacks on them by Jamaat-Shibir activists at Pirojpur and Rajshahi towns yesterday.
The law enforcers locked away
Book 'im, Mahmoud!
25 activists from both towns in connection with their alleged involvement in the attacks.
Six coppers including the officer-in-charge (OC) of Pirojpur Sadar Police Station were maimed during a clash between Jamaat-Shibir activists and law enforcers in front of a mosque of Sayeedi Foundation on bypass road.
Police and witnesses said around 200 activists of Jamaat-Shibir gathered in front of the mosque after performing their Juma prayers to hold a rally demanding release of Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayeedi
...Islamic orator and politician. He was a former Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2008, and is one of the most prominent leaders of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami...
and other party leaders.
On information, police rushed to the spot and tried to disperse the activists. Jamaat-Shibir men, divided into several groups, swooped on the police with sticks and other sharp weapons.
A wrangle between the activists and police led to a chase and counter chase in the area. Jamaat-Shibir supporters threw brickbats at police, prompting the law enforcers to charge batons, fire four rounds of tear shells and 20 rubber bullets.
Police arrested three activists--Hafez Hafizur Rahman, Mustak Ahmed and Sirajul Islam--from the spot, reports our correspondent in Barisal.
A case would be filed against the activists on charge of attacking the law enforcers, said N M Murshid, acting superintendent of police of the district.
In Rajshahi, a police constable was stabbed allegedly by Jamaat-Shibir activists while an assistant commissioner of police came under attack by locals during his attempt to nab the activists at Dharampur early yesterday.
The injured coppers are constable Shariful Islam of Motihar Police Station, and Assistant Commissioner (AC) Abul Hasnat of Rajshahi Metropolitan Police (RMP).
RMP Commissioner SM Moniruzzaman blamed Jamaat and Shibir activists for launching the pre-planned attacks on both coppers.
Police arrested 22 activists of Jamaat-Shibir for their alleged involvement in the incidents, reports our staff correspondent in Rajshahi.
Quoting Shariful, police officials said a gang of six to seven people swooped on Shariful while he was going to join his duty as a guard at Bangladesh Betar Transmission Tower at Binodpur around 2:00am.
Nayek Romesh Kumar Ghosh said they dragged Shariful to a roadside tree and stabbed him indiscriminately after knocking him down on the ground.
Hearing Shariful's scream, other coppers rushed to the spot and the attackers fled through the orchards of the Radio tower garden, he added.
Stabbed severely in the legs, the constable was first taken to Rajshahi Medical College Hospital and later shifted to National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases in Dhaka for better treatment.
Later AC Hasnat along with a police team went to Binodpur around 4:00am to nab the suspected attackers -- Sabuj and Rajib.
As the police members raided their house, its female members swooped on Hasnat with sharp weapons.
Sabuj and Rajib fled through the bamboo fence of their house when coppers were busy in the tussle with their family members, police said.
Rajib's mother Shahar Banu and aunt Motijan Begum were maimed as police charged baton on them. They were undergoing treatment at RMCH.
RMP Commissioner Moniruzzaman said "It is undoubtedly the work of Jamaat-Shibir activists as the injured police members had no involvement in any local affairs."
"The attempts on their lives were similar to the recent attacks on police by Jamaat-Shibir men," he added.
Sanaul Haque, officer-in-charge of Motihar Police Station, said two cases were filed in connection with the incidents.

This is what it says
I´m not sure if I understand this text correctly. Let's say that I prefer to ride with the bar halfway up on the throw. Then if I trim the kite for full power at this position what will then happen if I for example jump or loop the kite? It should result in "over power" if I pull the bar all the way in, right. With the consequence that the kite stalls easier...?Keep in mind that most all kites are designed to achieve maximum power when the front and rear lines are even, or when the front lines are about 1-3 inches longer than the rear lines. You want to be able to achieve full power when the bar is in the position away from your body that you normally like to ride in. So if you normally like the to ride with the bar 6 inches away from your body, look at what distance the chicken loop is away from the bar when you hold the bar away from your body while hooked in. You may like the bar 6 inches away from your body, but that can equate to the chicken loop only being 3 inches away from touching the bar. So hook into the chicken loop, put the bar where you like to normally ride with it away from your body, and you look down and see what distance the chicken loop is away from touching the bar while there is tension on the lines. For this example lets say that the chicken loop is 3 inches away from the bar. You need to make whatever changes necessary for your lines to be even when the chicken loop is 3 inches away from the bar, with the adjusting strap all the way out fully powered up. If you find your kite achieves full power with the front lines 1-3 inches longer than the rear lines, then make the front lines longer by that much when the chicken loop is 3 inches away from touching the bar. This setup will get you in the ballpark.
Is it just me that thinks this guide is a bit confusing?

Notorious gun-grabber Sen. Charles Schumer is exploiting the publicity surrounding the Trayvon Martin case to call for the feds to outlaw "Stand Your Ground" self-defense laws around the country. Schumer is an influential Democrat who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Schumer wants to the Justice Department to expand an investigation into the controversial law. More than thirty states have some form of the Castle Doctrine or the Stand Your Ground law on the books. The Castle Doctrine has its roots in English common law under the dictum that "an Englishman's home is his castle" and the belief that deadly force may be used when a home is invaded.
"I am sending a letter to the Justice Department to ask them to expand their investigation into the general application of these 'stand your ground' laws, whether they actually increase, rather than decrease, violence, and whether they actually prevent law enforcement from prosecuting cases where a real crime has been committed," Schumer said on Monday.
"Given your duty to protect the public, your unique nationwide jurisdiction to conduct an investigation, and your authority to allocate federal resources to state and local law enforcement, I believe that you are warranted and justified in conducting an investigation as to whether these 'stand your ground laws' are contributing to excessive uses of force and decreased prosecutions for killings throughout the United States. I therefore urge you to commence such an investigation at the earliest possible instance," Schumer added.
Along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Representative Carolyn McCarthy, Charles Schumer is at the forefront of an effort to roll back the Second Amendment and deny citizens the right to defend themselves. He has attempted to enforce gun laws by linking the exercise of the Second Amendment to terrorism and has pushed consistently for outlawing "assault weapons." Schumer has also worked to close down the so-called "Gun Show Loophole" that allows sales of firearms without asking permission from the Attorney General and the federal government.
Florida, where Martin was killed after he allegedly attacked Neighborhood Watch captain George Zimmerman, has refused to shut down its Stand Your Ground law. Gov. Rick Scott has remained mostly silent on the matter and the Florida Legislature's Senate President Mike Haridopolous rejected the formation of a special committee to review the law.

David Dallas travelled to Austin Texas in 2009 to play SXSW.
I've been to SXSW three times now. Last year was definitely different because I was hooked up with Duck Down Records which meant way more access. But 2009 was really eye-opening because I didn't know what to expect, and it seemed like a real turning-point because there was a big contingent of hip hop acts going, names like Clipse, The Cool Kids, Kid Sister, Wale and Kid Cudi. It was pretty much everyone that was on the XXL Freshman cover issue that year - I saw Blu, Charles Hamilton, Mikey Factz, Curren$y, K'Naan, veteran dudes like Bun B, Erykah Badu. It went on and on - it was ridiculous how many dudes I saw that year.
I'd been invited to play but at the time we didn't have any people on the ground to help, so it was hard work going through the formal process of applying to be there. I got my music in order and I got business cards and stuff, and then I just tried to roll with it. I was there with P-Money, and people had been telling him to go to SXSW for ages - he was sceptical about it but after the first day we were sold. There's nothing like it.
There's the official SXSW which is what gets you your pass, and they schedule you once you get invited, but that's only half of what the festival is. The other half is all these unofficial parties, and often those are the main event - MTV will be having a party and they'll have whoever their hot acts for the year are, or something like the Fader Fort which is as big as SXSW itself. It was like the Big Day Out but it took over the entire city and it goes for three days. Imagine if you blocked off Ponsonby Rd for foot traffic only, and that's only the epicentre of the festival. Basically every bar in the city - and Austin has more bars per capita than any other city in the world - is packed and you're constantly bombarded by live music.
Cut Off Your Hands were one of the hot bands at SXSW that year - they were the shit. They were playing the coolest parties, and it was real sick to see the buzz around them. I Bang! Bang! Eche! was another buzz band at the time, and those two were going off.
I met a lot of the hip hop bloggers - that's where my relationship with the Smoking dudes started. I met a bunch of artists like Blu, but I think the most important thing I got out of it was knowing that I could stand on stage with these people and hold my own. Another thing that tripped me out was a lot of these emerging acts are completely untested and they've never performed in front of a crowd. My music sounded huge - I was playing songs like Indulge Me and material that were mastered for radio, so dudes were tripping out. Because we have to compete on radio here with songs from artists like T.I. and 50 Cent which is mixed and mastered in million-dollar studios, we really have to go in on the sonics of the song so it stands up in a live environment.
When I returned to SXSW in 2010, I knew the codes - I knew what to do, where to go, knew who to talk to - it was an easier transition. But I still think the most fun I've had was that first time I went - it was sick. It's just like a festival taken to epic proportions.
What: SXSW 2009
Where: Austin, Texas

These strategies will help you keep up with your job demands when undergoing chemo.
A cancer diagnosis may upend your life, but working through your treatment can help you maintain a semblance of normalcy. Balancing a career and chemotherapy can be difficult; fortunately, the workplace is more accommodating than ever. In a recent survey, 85% of employers allowed patients with breast cancer to reduce their work hours and 79% okayed a flexible schedule, according to the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans in Brookfield, WI. As a result, about 80% of patients work through their treatment, according to the National Cancer Institute.
Try these strategies for battling common problems at work and keeping up with the demands of your job:
Time it right
To minimize the impact of treatment side effects on your job performance, schedule chemo sessions for late in the day or book them for Fridays, right before the weekend.
Fight fatigue with food
Fatigue is one of the most common side effects, so ask your boss about taking short breaks during the day—even 10 minutes can boost your energy—and eat a nutritious snack if your appetite allows. Munch on a protein bar or a tablespoon of peanut butter on a whole-wheat cracker, plus a small glass of skim milk.
Fight fatigue in other ways
A short walk can also give you an energy boost. Another strategy is to take three slow, deep breaths whenever your energy sags.
Cope with nausea
Consider temporarily relocating to a workstation near a rest room in case you need to slip out now and then.
Stay sharp
If chemotherapy or radiation interferes with concentration, schedule your toughest work duties for the morning or whenever you feel especially sharp.

Nigeria Elections Disputed
Electoral commission head Maurice Iwu declared Yar'Adua of the People's Democratic Party the winner with 24.6 million votes, far ahead of his closest rival, former army strongman Muhammadu Buhari, with 6.6 million. Buhari rejected the result as "blatantly rigged" and called on parliament to impeach President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Nigeria's ruling party candidate Umaru Yar'Adua was declared winner on Monday of a presidential poll rejected by the opposition and condemned by observers as a "charade."
The observers and opposition politicians said Saturday's vote for the first handover of power from one civilian leader to another in Africa's most populous nation and top oil producer was manipulated through violence and rigging.
Electoral commission head Maurice Iwu declared Yar'Adua of the People's Democratic Party the winner with 24.6 million votes, far ahead of his closest rival, former army strongman Muhammadu Buhari, with 6.6 million.
Buhari rejected the result as "blatantly rigged" and called on parliament to impeach President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Thousands of opposition youths started street fires in the northern city of Kano but the protest was quelled by police and reaction elsewhere was muted. World oil prices rose sharply on Monday because of fears of further violence in the world's eighth largest oil exporter, where militant attacks have already curbed output.
Nigeria, scarred by decades of corrupt dictatorship and military rule since independence from Britain in 1960, returned to civilian government in 1999.
Yar'Adua said he was "greatly humbled" and would reach out to the opposition. "I intend to invite them to join hands with me to work for this country," he said.
European Union observers cited poor election organization, lack of transparency, significant evidence of fraud, voter disenfranchisement, violence and bias. "These elections have not lived up to the hopes and expectations of the Nigerian people and the process cannot be considered to have been credible," said chief EU observer Max van den Berg.
The United States said the vote was "flawed" but stopped short of calling for it to be overturned. Problems should be resolved peacefully and according to the constitution, said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack.
A coalition of civil society observers called in a statement for the vote to be cancelled and held again. "The election was a charade. A democratic arrangement founded on such fraud can have no legitimacy," they said.
But any annulment would plunge Nigeria into a constitutional crisis because by law Obasanjo must hand over power on May 29.
Obasanjo said the election could not be described as perfect but appealed to aggrieved losers to use the courts for any complaints over the next five weeks. "Nothing should be done to make our people lose faith in the electoral process and its democratic outcome," he said.
Analysts had predicted Yar'Adua would win because of the ruling party's unrivalled funds and powers of incumbency, but Buhari had been expected to put in a much stronger showing because of widespread disaffection with poverty and crime.
About 65 people have been killed in the past 10 days in election-related crime. Four people were killed in armed clashes between criminal gangs in the southern oil capital Port Harcourt but there was no obvious link to the election. The government has labeled critics of the poll coup-plotters and linked them to a failed attempt to blow up the electoral commission headquarters on Saturday with a fuel tanker.
Police arrested protesters at the headquarters in the capital Abuja on Sunday and banned all rallies.

Researchers at Nationwide Children's Hospital will use a $6.3 million grant to further their study of pediatric sarcomas, a rare form of the disease that affects bone or soft tissue and accounts for 11 percent of all childhood cancers. The project, funded by the National Institutes of Health and the National Cancer Institute, will be led by Peter Houghton, PhD, director of the Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Diseases in The Research Institute at Nationwide Children's.
"The ultimate goal of this project is to develop novel therapeutic approaches for advanced childhood sarcoma," said Dr. Houghton, who has spent more than three decades studying pediatric cancer through work designed to bring knowledge from the laboratory to the bedside.
While more than 70 percent of children with sarcoma are cured, the outcome is still poor for those with advanced or metastatic disease. Specifically, the five-year, event-free survival rates are 30 percent or less in children with advanced or metastatic Ewing sarcoma, osteosarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma. Intensive chemo-radiotherapy has not significantly altered this outcome, making the search for effective new therapies a critical pursuit.
Each of the three sarcomas targeted by this grant has distinct characteristics requiring in-depth analysis of disease pathways and treatment opportunities.
"The projects will characterize the interrelationship of these pathways and identify combinatorial inhibitory approaches most likely to yield biologic activity in the clinical setting," said Dr. Houghton, also a faculty member at The Ohio State University College of Medicine.
Experts in sarcoma biology, cellular signaling pathways and drug development will collaborate on the grant, bringing together researchers from Nationwide Children's and The Ohio State University. Dr. Houghton is the principal investigator on the grant, and Nationwide Children's is responsible for its management. The researchers will collaborate on each of six smaller sections of the grant, sharing personnel and facilities. Each division of the grant will be overseen by a special director and team to create the best opportunity for synergy and innovation.

How to Make Compost
Subscribe to your own state gardening magazine. Simply visit sbsmags.com and click on one of the 21 states where we publish a magazine to subscribe today. Or, for faster service, call 1-888-265-3600. You know fall of the year is the perfect time to start rejuvenating your garden beds for next spring, and in this vegetable garden, the perfect thing to do is add compost now so it can settle in and nutrients can be released in time for the spring plant. So, come on back with us and we'll show you how to set up a compost pile. Now, setting up a compost pile for your own home garden couldn't be simpler, and the good news is that the materials needed will come at little to no expense. So, that's always a plus. In this case, I'm using some four-foot fence post that I got from the local garden center, and I'm simply going to hammer these into the ground in a circular pattern. Now, when the fence post are in the ground, I'll wrap some hardware cloth – or really you can use any wire you have available. Two by four wire works perfectly. I'm going to wrap the wire around this, and that will do two things. First, it will keep the material being composted contained. Second of all, it will allow good airflow across the pile because keeping the pile oxygenated during the composting process is going to be key. Now that we have our compost pile blocked off, it's time to start adding the materials, and the first thing we're going to add is some finished compost. And, that's simply because finished compost contains all the microorganisms that will kickstart a new compost and carry on the decomposition process. Now we have some finished compost in there for a good microbial foundation. The next thing we want to add is some kitchen scraps, and I'm often asked, "Well, what can we compost out of the kitchen." Well, really anything plant based. What you want to avoid are animal products like meat scraps and bones. Those will be very slow to breakdown and they might invite some uninvited guests to your compost pile and we don't want that. What I'm going to put in here now are just simply some kitchen scraps, and you'll see it's banana peels, some old leaf petioles off of greens, some carrots tops, some cherry tomatoes that are a little past their peak. And, you'll also notice some egg shells. A wonderful source of calcium. And, you can find egg shells very readily. So, any of this material would be perfect for the compost pile. Now, this is going to be kind of a magic ingredient we'll add to the compost pile. These are coffee grounds, and you can get these from your local coffee shop. They're often very glad to give them away because all they do with them is throw them away anyway. Coffee grounds are a wonderful source of nitrogen and they will also help improve the soil workability of the soil, tilth you'll sometimes hear it called. And, we'll put this into the compost pile as well. We don't want too much, but just enough to get the compost pile to heat up. And coffee grounds are a good source of nitrogen. Now, we're going to cover this with some type of organic material leaves, hay, straw anything like that will work. I'm going to use some maple leaves that I've raked up out of the yard. And, we'll put this on top to sort of keep everything under the layer of leaves warm and that'll start decomposing. There are also insects in these leaves that will start decomposing all this organic matter as well as soil fungi and bacteria. So, we'll keep the leaves on top of that, and that will allow the compost pile to stay warm so the microbes can start doing their thing breaking all this wonderful organic material down. Now the last thing to go on the compost pile is some water. We want to keep the compost pile, not saturated, but just moist enough to promote good microbial growth. All of these bacteria and fungi that are going to breakdown this material need moisture. In the process of decomposition, a lot of heat will be generated. It'll even be possible to come out here on a cold winter day, open up the compost pile and watch steam literally erupt out of the center of the compost pile. So, over a period of months, this material will break down and will have that wonderful black gold material that will be ready to go in the garden in the springtime. Now, it's going to be very important to come out periodically and turn the compost pile with a shovel or some time of garden tool. Now once the compost pile has stopped heating up, the compost is finished. And at that point it's ready to harvest and go into the garden bed. Subscribe to your own state gardening magazine.

Early life
He was born in selo Sokolovići near Višegrad. Grand Vezir of Otomane Empire Mehmed-Paša Sokolović was his brother or first cоusin. Two of them, as a boys were sent to Mileševa Monastery, to learn for pristhood. Bajo, later Mehmed-Pasha was piced up in devshirma (tribute-in-blood).
Makarije stayed in Monastery. He later left Mileševa and gone for Mont Athos. He was later igumen of Hilandar Monastery. He was raised Archimandrite. He was consecrated few years before reestablishing of Serbian Patriarchate.
It is great question was he first Patriarch after reestablishing. In Pećko Skazanije is written that befor him was Patriarch Nikanor (1550-1557). In other sorces is written that Sultan Suleiyman the Magnificent aproved reestablishing of Peć Patriarchate.
Makarije's oficiall title was: Archbishop of Peć and Patriarch of Serbs and Bulgarians. This Bulgarians was from the fact that some dioceses in Bulgharia became parts of Peć Patriarchate.
This was done, ceartenly, with help of Mehmed. Patriarch Makarije reorganised Serbian Church, established new Dioceses, rebuilt a lot of Monasteries. Turkish Governmant, wich lead his brother, recognised him as etnarch, mylet-pasha, leader of Serbian Nation.
Church courts had almost full judical power on Christians , symilar as theese in Ecumenicl Patrirchate. Makarije opened numerous schools in Monasteries.
When he came in ages he selected his nephew Metropolitan Antonije of Herzegovina as his successor 1570/1. Synod on its session in Banja Monastery aproved this decision.
