As most of us know, backfilling into the soil by adding ammendments like garden compost into the planting hole does not really work and can be counterproductive. However, a while ago I bought special bottomless pots for tomatoes that are meant to be planted on the soil surface itself and results in the roots emerging from the bottom of the compost (such as the 511 mix which is what I'll be using). I'm not sure if these pots have a special name, but can you experts out there tell me whether this practice is okay?
Or should I get smaller pots (like a small 5" pot) filled with the 511 mix and just plant this into the well cultivated soil? Am I okay to add organic matter like compost, peat moss (if the soil pH is too high) or well rotted manure as a mulch, as long as it's distributed over as large an area as possible? The plan is to allow the earthworm population to drag the mulch below. Finally, if I wanted to improve the soil drainage could I dig out a trench by my raised bed and place a large PVC pipe with holes in it, which is covered in secure permeable landscaping fabric, and fill underneath, on the sides and ontop of the pipe with gravel? The idea would be that the water would seep into the pipe away from the plant, and I could possibly place an electric sump pump in there to remove the water if need be. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Lots of growers turn their containers into raised beds and thus get away with growing in soils that are too water-retentive to be used in containers in the conventional way. Your idea of planting in a pot & letting roots run (into the ground) is fine & will work well if the (ground) soil, moisture levels and nutrition are favorable, and by all means - mulch as you described. The drain you described would also be a VERY effective way to keep the soil drained. It appears you understand that you can't make clay soils drain by adding OM unless they have somewhere to drain TOO. ;o) Al |

Excellent. Thanks Tapla. Just one thing, if you don't mind though - can you recommend a rough size of PVC pipe to use (I suppose the exact size doesn't really matter that much)? I was thinking of using a four inch diameter PVC pipe. Would that work? Does it need to be as close the the plant roots in the native soil as possible? Oh yes, and if I am growing tomatoes in containers and am potting up using the 511 mix medium in each pot, what final size pot would you recommend for a) determinate tomatoes and b)indeterminate tomatoes? I assume potting up is necessary when using he 511 mix like in almost any other medium? I was going to go from a Root Riot cube or a peat pellet to a 5" pot (which is approximately one litre I think?) and then to a 3L pot and finally a 6L pot until the end. Does this sound okay? |

Hey, Organic, I'll let Al answer, of course, but I wanted to say that 4 inch is fine. Also, I grow tomatoes (indeterminate) in a container on my backdeck - for easy pickin' ;-) I put my tomato directly into its final destination - which is a 15-20 gallon pot.

4" pipe is fine, I would dig a trench so the pipe ends up about 12-18" deep, because it will only drain the soil above. I'm assuming you're low or growing in heavy clay? I also put tomatoes from cell packs or 4" containers directly into 18 gallon containers of 5:1:1 with no problems. Remember to tear off the bottom of the roots and the lower leaves and plant DEEP - with only the upper leaves poking up through the soil. New roots will form along the stem & you'll wind up with a MUCH stronger root system, faster. Al |
- Posted by organic_wonderful 10 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 2, 11 at 18:25
^ you mean there will be adventitious roots that form along the stem at the bottom? Yes I am growing in clay, as you said. How many leaves to I actually remove? Do you mean literally all the leaves up the stem except for the ones at the very top? Isn't that most of the foliage on the plant? If I use this method do I need to do any other pruning? I'm not familiar with this technique so forgive my ignorance. |
- Posted by organic_wonderful 10 (My Page) on Sat, Apr 2, 11 at 18:44
Also, 18 gallons is huge! I suppose the advantage of that is that you wouldn't have to water it so often. How often would you have to water an 18 US gallon pot containing the 511 mix? |
... you mean there will be adventitious roots that form along the stem at the bottom? The advantage of a large container is that it doesn't inhibit growth due to root congestion as quickly. Generally, the growth of plants in containers remains unrestricted until about the point that roots and the soil mass can be lifted from the container intact. Using a larger container increases the amount of o/a growth that can occur before growth rate slows. The problem usually is that with heavy bagged soils, you can't pot in the large containers w/o risking root rot or other effects related to excess water retention and poor aeration, where you can, and with little concern for ill effects, when using a well-aerated, fast-draining soil. You can start with a lesser volume of soil, however, if you know your roots are going to run to ground. Additionally, if your containers are ON the ground, it turns them into mini raised beds & you CAN grow in a heavier soil than you could get away with w/o problems growing conventionally. Al |

Thanks, the photo and explanation was very helpful tapla. I did wonder how you could pot up straight into a large pot without the whole thing becoming anaerobic but if you're using a medium like the 511 mix that drains well and is aerated then that makes sense that it would work. I never heard of the trick where you remove leaves and bury so that roots form on the stem. I'll definitely be trying that. I just wish I had found this forum sooner. |
Lol - you're the third person who said that in the last 2 days. Thanks - we're glad you're here!! Al |
Tomatoes can be pretty picky about container size and plant spacing. They have huge root systems and use lots of water and nutrients. If they are too close together they have lots of trouble with disease and fungus. In the garden (at least in OK) we space them 4 feet apart. I plan to water my tomatoes in large containers every day during the summer. But of course we have highs over 100F through much of the summer. It also depends on what type of tomato you grow. The bush and patio types can handle a 5 gallon bucket if you water and fertilize well. But if you want a large indeterminate tomato in a pot you'll have to look into giant rubbermaid tubs. |

OW, I sense you have a tendency similar to mine--you want to do everything as thoroughly as possible. :) Not necessarily a bad thing, but you can spend a fortune on a relatively small return, then have to do it over differently next year. My own favorite tomato growing technique, either in the ground or above, is to simply make sure that there is a suitable area (no container? Just prep an entire section of ground about 2' deep and introduce worms to the soil as well) and stick that 'mater plant in as far as it will go--in a container, I would not put the root ball on the bottom (trust me--ask me how I know), but rather about 2/3 of the way down at most. I'm very fond of my soil here--it has high concentrations of vermicompost (it's not just worm castings, it's also partially decomposed organic material) and small porous volcanic rock called DryStall, so it remains nicely aerated and relatively loose (although it can be packed). It grows ANYTHING. Tomatoes are 'hungy' plants; they feed and drink heavily, so make sure that you are giving them plenty to work with no matter what soil you have. It's not really as hard as you seem to be making it, is what I'm saying. Nice big containers, good soil and plenty of water/nutrients and all will be well. Or jam them in the ground if you have the drainage and same thing. I'm kind of wondering where you are that you think you might need a sump pump for runoff... :) I just took the hose and engaged in a little hydro excavation leading to where I wanted my extra water, and you know what? I didn't even need it. You might try that first to test the idea... KISS is your friend here, I think...but that's just me. :) |
- Posted by organic_wonderful 10 (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 17:19
^ Are you saying you sink containers into the soil? If so with respect, I'm not sure that's the best way to go about things, since it will act as a sump, drawing in water and making drainage problems 10x worse. But I agree, a KISS approach is desirable. I know it sounds like I'm making it more complicated than it needs to be, but don't worry, I've got it all under control I think. And more importantly, it satisfies my desire to improve my gardening skills. If we didn't push the envelope and try new things then we might still be making the same old mistakes people have been making for years. That's my take on all this anyway. I do appreciate your advice though, thanks. |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 17:25
It's the opposite, Organic. The earth acts as a giant wick, drawing moisture downward and out of the containers, Josh |
..... unless you sink the pots in heavy clay - THEN you could have an issue due to slow percolation and the accompanying 'bathtub effect'; but in soils with reasonable drainage, the earth does act as a wick & quickly removes any perched water from the container. Al |
- Posted by onafixedincome z8-9 CA (My Page) on Mon, Apr 4, 11 at 23:50
No, no sunken containers here... :) I appreciate your inquiring mind--you make me think, so thanks! |
Lol - thank YOU. I really do try to make people think about things when I post. It helps everyone when they can connect ALL the dots instead of just understanding certain aspects of container culture. I don't necessarily want a say in how you decide to apply information, though I will try to guide someone to a degree, if I think they're headed down a path that doesn't lead to the biggest bang for the effort. Still, the primary focus is on making sure you get reliable information to help with your decisions, then play cheerleader & hope they're all good ones. ;-) It's been alotta fun talking with you, Pam. I hope you stick around, or at least remember where to find us. Al |
thank you, al and others ! this thread has answered a lot of questions for me. luckily my soil is very sandy, but the voles have forced me into containers for my sweet potatoes and other root crops. i used sticks to plug up the big holes and sink the 12" high pots into the ground about 3". i didn't use wicks but did try to imitate al's mix, with about 50% of my garden soil, with no problems. now i'm using 30 gallon food-grade drums cut in half(55 gallon are too big to dump for harvest). i drill 1\4" holes in the bottom and 2-3" up the sides, about 30 in all. if i sink them to cover the side holes, i believe the roots will go out and down, and no wicks will be needed. al, do you see any problem with this so far ? i've read that surface roots get different nutrients than roots that go very deep, so i'm trying to accomodate them all. i will try to find the .edu (library) webpage that shows root development. tomatoes and sweet potatoes can go 4 feet deep, parsnips 9 feet ! |
http://www.soilandhealth.org/01aglibrary/010137veg.roots/010137toc.html oops, this isn't a .edu, and i hope it is still true, since it from 1927 !!! patty |

Nov 21, 2012 11:52 AM by Dennis Bragg - KPAX News
MISSOULA - A nationwide movement targeting Walmart stores for what critics call "unfair labor practices" has spread to Montana, although organized picketing appears limited to a single store.
Walmart critics are claiming the massive chain doesn't pay its workers enough, and restricts part-time workers from more hours to help their income.
The protests have already led to some initial picketing outside Walmart stores in other parts of the country, with additional picketing planned during "Black Friday" shopping.
According to the Corporate Action Network website, one walkout has been scheduled at a Montana Walmart. The site shows "strikers" will be gathering in front of the Walmart Supercenter on North 7th in Bozeman Thanksgiving night at 8 p.m. That's right when Walmart stores are set to open for "Black Friday" shoppers.
However, as of Wednesday morning the Bozeman picketing is the only Montana protest listed on the site. Listings for Walmarts, and Sam's Club stores, in Missoula, Kalispell, Butte, Havre, Lewistown, Miles City, Billings and Laurel merely list locations with an invitation for people to "adopt this event."
Questions remain over whether the National Labor Relations Board will issue an injunction to stop the picketing. Walmart requested NLRB review its complaint that the United Food and Commercial Workers Union is actually organizing the protests. But NLRB said yesterday the issues are "complex" and it might not be able to reach a decision before shopping starts Thursday.

Another day and another media darling has sounded off with glorious hyperbole. Today the veteran liberator of Kabul John Simpson compared cutting the budget of the BBC to:
"…immobilizing the subject on his/her back with the head inclined downwards; water is then poured over the face into breathing passages, thus triggering the mammalian diving reflex causing the captive to experience the sensations of drowning. In It can cause extreme pain, dry drowning, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, lasting psychological damage and, if uninterrupted, death."

Serves 2
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (about 1 1/2 ounces)
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 pound thin asparagus
- 4 slices Italian or other white bread
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 pound sliced cooked ham
Preheat broiler.
In a small bowl stir together Parmesan and mayonnaise. Trim asparagus to fit bread and arrange asparagus in a skillet just large enough to hold it in one layer. Add 1/2 inch salted cold water and cook asparagus, covered, over moderately high heat 5 minutes, or until just tender. In a colander drain asparagus well.
Arrange bread on a baking sheet and butter top of each slice. Broil bread about 6 inches from heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Turn bread over and arrange ham on each slice, folding or trimming to fit if necessary. Arrange asparagus on ham and spread with Parmesan mixture. Broil sandwiches about 3 inches from heat until golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

For many baby boomers, retirement just means it's time to spread their wings and launch the business of their dreams.
Sarasota consistently ranks as one of the top places for baby boomers to retire, but many of those new arrivals have no intention of pursuing a life of leisure. Yes, they've left behind their former careers for a warmer climate and our city's cultural and natural amenities—but "retire?" "That's a horrible word," says Pat Gussin, who after working as a globetrotting executive in the health industry started Longboat Key's Oceanview Publishing with her husband. Gussin says she prefers the word "graduate."
That's a good choice of word. Highly educated and dedicated to perpetual self-improvement, the 78 million baby boomers are starting new businesses at a record rate. In fact, they have a higher percentage of entrepreneurship than people ages 20 to 34—the age we traditionally associate with entrepreneurs. When it comes time to retire, many boomers opt instead to graduate to new careers of their own making—and a lot of them are doing so right here in Sarasota and Manatee.
Meet five boomers who came to our retirement hotspot and kept right on working—this time to start the businesses of their dreams.
Karl Nelson
After a lifetime—and several work-related injuries—in the construction business, Karl Nelson, 48, moved with his wife and children from Wisconsin to Florida "to do something different." He stumbled into his new career through old connections—Wisconsin cheese makers he knew through his family's dairy farm up North. Realizing those familiar cheeses were new and appealing to Florida consumers, Nelson opened Greenleaf Cheese on South Tamiami Trail in 2007.
Big break
"I came back [from a trip to Wisconsin] with a bunch of cheese and brought it to a neighborhood party. People were coming up to me saying, 'Where did you get this?' I said to myself, 'Maybe I'm onto something.' Then I looked in the phone book—there wasn't even a category for cheese."
How's business?
"We've grown a lot, and the wholesale is really taking off. It started out with one customer going back to another town saying, 'You gotta get hold of this guy's cheese.'"
Biggest challenge
"The economy. I started right when everything was down the tubes, then we had the oil spill, then the senators fighting on TV about budgets and stuff. When the senators started fighting, my door stopped swinging. Got through it by hunkering down."
"I'm leaning toward going [strictly] to wholesale. Trying to see if someone else would run the store. I've got such awesome customers; otherwise I would've already made the switch."
What makes you proud?
"Taking the challenge of a dream of doing something different and succeeding at it. I believe I've grown as a person."
Bob and Pat Gussin
Bob and Pat Gussin each enjoyed successful careers as high-level Johnson & Johnson executives, but their worldwide work travels often kept them apart. When they retired in 2000, they began attending writing workshops, where Pat, now 69, worked on her first novel—a thriller, her favorite genre—while Bob, now 75, talked publishing with other would-be authors. Eventually, Bob said, "I want to start a publishing company. I think I can do better for these people." In 2006, they opened Oceanview Publishing, dedicated to publishing thrillers; Pat's novel, Shadow of Death, was among the first books they published.
Big break (Bob)
"I called Warren Phillips, retired CEO of Dow Jones. He said, 'It's hard work and you'll probably never make any money.' He told us every aspect of publishing. Then he called a distributor in New York and recommended us. Immediately we had a distribution company, and that distributor works with Amazon. We call Warren and his wife 'the godparents of Oceanview.'"
How's business? (Bob)
"The first year, 2006, we put out five books. Today, we publish one hardcover book a month—80 total so far—and we have 47 authors. We have two books under movie contract now, and one under TV contract."
Why it's rewarding (Bob)
"People say, 'You're doing it the right way; I'm tired of playing golf every day.' We've got no regrets. We work from home. We're having a wonderful life. The surprise is that we are successful, too."
Advice (Bob)
"Ask yourself one question: If I do this—whatever you want to do—what is the worst-case scenario? And then ask yourself, can I live with that? If the answer is yes, why not take your shot?"
"Then you open the door, and one thing leads to another."
Brian Weiner
In 2000, at the height of the dot-com boom, Brian Weiner and his business partner scored big, selling their digital printing business, Noalart Graphics, to a publicly traded company. Rather than turning to golf or world travel, Weiner, now 59, and his partner began to study charity work. "I felt there could be ways to make not-for-profits better business people," he says. In 2003, they founded The 1 to 1 Group, which provides targeted business development for nonprofits, featuring data-driven, personalized direct-mail campaigns.
Why it's rewarding
"[Noalart] was a money-making opportunity for us. Now, our goal is to make the world we live in a better place. I love the organizations and people we
work with. In 10 years [in business], we will have raised about 100 million new dollars for our clients."
Biggest challenge
"Many people in not-for-profits viewed [us] as a threat. They felt we [would] provide a technology tool that would allow the organization to get rid of a development director. But really, we freed that person from burdensome minutiae. Being successful was a matter of finding people who were leaders, risk-takers."
Core beliefs
"Treat different people differently. We tend to classify people into big buckets. I want to hear what you have to say, and I want to find a way to recognize that. We can create 1,000 letters, each targeted to the individual."
Bottom line
"My wife has joined the company. I have a business partner who's like my brother. If you can have a business where you effect meaningful change and work with people you love and respect, that's a great way to wake up."
Steve Traves
When you've spent 30 years traveling the country as a location photographer, Steve Traves, 57, says, "9-to-5 appeals to you." An avid kayaker, cross-country skier and fisherman, Traves had toyed with the idea of running his own sporting goods store. After realizing that Florida has fewer outdoor sports retailers than many other states, Traves opened AMI Outfitters on Anna Maria Island in October 2012.
How's business?
"The first few weeks, we were inundated. We had tremendous Christmas sales. We have no mortgage, no employees and we're not drawing a salary. We're almost at a point now where we own all of our inventory; we don't have any loans against it."
Customer service
"A lot of times you walk into a store and the [shop] person doesn't look up. We practically tackle people when they walk in the door. If they want to be left alone, we say, 'Terrific, let us know if you have any questions.'"
Why it's rewarding
"This has become our social life. People come in and spend a half an hour just chatting. All of a sudden we're meeting folks and getting involved with organizations like Sarasota Bay Watch; now I'm president of Kayak Anglers of West Florida. You open the door to the shop, and that opens a lot of doors to a lot of things."
Advice to would-be retailers
"Do your homework; listen to your customers."
"This space is not going to hold us for long. Unfortunately, in this building, there's nowhere to expand. I might
keep this location and open another one."
Bottom line
"I'm surrounded by things I love. There aren't many men who walk in here and say, 'Poor Steve.'"

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Bosko!
Facts about Bosko
- Breed: Labrador Retriever/Pointer Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Bosko's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Silly Bosko is a wonderful young fellow that would love to have a place to call his very own. Bosko is around 9 months old, heart worm negative, current on routine shots and has been wormed. He is great with other dogs and loves children. He is full of life and just dreaming for the day he gets to go home.
Other Pets at Meriwether County Animal Shelter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bosko, a Greenville Labrador Retriever/Pointer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Pointer for sale in Greenville, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Pointer dog from a breeder in Greenville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Greenville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Greenville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Pointer breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Pointer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Greenville paves the way for another one to be saved.

Common Culprits of Food Poisoning
The symptoms of food poisoning usually appear anywhere from four hours to two days after eating contaminated food, but sometimes as much as two weeks can go by before symptoms appear. Diarrhea is the most common symptom, but nausea, severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, fever, headaches and difficulty breathing may also occur. If you think you have food poisoning, rest and drink plenty of fluids. If your symptoms are severe or if you or a family member is in a high-risk group (infant, elderly, someone with a compromised immune system), call your doctor immediately.
Here are some common bacteria responsible for food poisoning:
Salmonella is most often found in raw or undercooked meat, poultry and fish, and can be spread to other foods through cross-contamination from utensils and work surfaces that haven't been thoroughly cleaned between uses. Infants, the elderly and chronically ill individuals are most susceptible. To prevent salmonella poisoning, cook all meat, poultry and fish thoroughly. Keep raw foods away from cooked foods, and use separate cutting boards, dishes and knives for raw animal products. For example, if you use a platter to carry raw chicken to the grill for a barbecue, wash the platter thoroughly before you put cooked chicken back on it or use different platters for raw and cooked chicken. Don't eat raw eggs and foods containing raw eggs. (Eating uncooked cookie dough from the beaters, an old favorite of kids everywhere, can lead to contamination.) Eggs should be cooked thoroughly until the yolk and white are firm.
Staphylococcus aureus (staph) can be found in the nose, throat and hands of healthy people and is transferred through hand contact, sneezing and coughing. Staph thrives on protein-rich foods such as meat, poultry and fish dishes, cream sauces and fillings and puddings. Salads — such as egg, tuna, chicken, potato and macaroni — are frequent sources of staph food poisoning, particularly in warm weather. To prevent the spread of staph, always wash your hands before handling food and use clean utensils. To control bacterial growth, never leave food at room temperature for more than two hours. Food poisoning is caused by ingesting enterotoxins produced when foods have not been kept hot enough (140°F or above) or cold enough (45°F or below).
Clostridium perfringens are found in the soil, in the human intestine and on many foods. The Center for Disease Control estimates that 10,000 cases occur annually in the U.S. Clostridium spread when cooked meat dishes are not kept hot enough and when casseroles and other large dishes of food, as well as gravies, are cooled too slowly. Keep hot foods hot (above 140°F), chill foods quickly and reheat cooked, chilled foods to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Caution: Never partially reheat or simply "warm up" large pieces of cooked meat or large pans of food. Go all the way!
Campylobacter jejuni (campy) is the leading cause of bacterial diarrhea in the U.S. It causes more disease than salmonella and shigella (another bacteria that's a cause of severe diarrhea) combined. Campy is found in the digestive tract of animals and can contaminate raw meat and poultry during processing. Campy has also been found in raw milk, untreated water, clams and mushrooms. To prevent poisoning, thoroughly cook all meat, poultry and fish dishes, keep raw animal foods away from other foods and clean mushrooms thoroughly before eating.
Clostridium botulinum is found in the soil, and its spores can be picked up by low-acid vegetables such as corn, green beans, beets and peas. It can cause a severe type of food poisoning resulting from the potent neurotoxin formed during the growth of the organism. The incidence of the disease is low but is worrisome because of the high mortality rate if not treated properly and immediately. Problems occur when these foods are improperly canned and the spores grow. To prevent botulism, follow reliable home canning directions precisely and avoid store-bought foods in swollen or severely dented cans, cracked jars or otherwise suspicious-looking containers. If in doubt, heat food to 176°F for at least 10 minutes to kill the bacteria.

text: Around 200 vegetable sellers in three haats suffer losses STATESMAN NEWS SERVICE Malda, 12 November After an aggrieved mob looted three haats (large weekly markets) and the stock of around 200 vegetable sellers consecutively in different parts of the district, deeply concerned ministers, Sabitri Mitra and Krishnendu Choudhury, asked the district administrations to convene a meeting of the task force on war-footing to discuss the situation. While the retail vegetable traders have been reeling under acute insecurity anticipating further deterioration of the situation, superintendent of police Mr Kalyan Mukherjee abstained from commenting on the matter. That the situation may go beyond control was guessed after a scuffle occurred at Sobhanagar between the traders and the buyers yesterday. Today, as anticipated, situation worsened and aggrieved customers started looting the haats. As potatoes were allegedly being sold at Rs 18 per kg violating the state government determined rate of Rs 13 per kg, infuriated customers reportedly looted the large vegetable market at Dharampur under Manikchak police station. It was learnt that cauliflower and cabbage were being sold at Rs 35 per kg and the brinjals at the rate of Rs 40 per kg. Even spinach and other edible vegetables were sold at Rs 80 to Rs 120 per kg. Though such formidable prices initially stunned the customers, soon they started looting stock of hundreds of vegetable sellers and anarchy gripped the market in moments. Atb around 8 a.m., the fiasco began and within merely 20 minutes the mob snatched away the entire stock of the vegetables. Mr Fagu Mandal, a vegetable trader, said that his entire stock of 25 kg of cabbage was looted by the mob. The mob also looted 14 kg of spinach and 20 kg of brinjal owned by one Mr Jiaul Sheikh. Gripped by an acute sense of insecurity they fled from the market. The secretary of Dharampur traders' association, Mr Brajen Lala, said: "Sometime after I opened my shop of garments, to my utter dismay I found that agitated by the price of vegetables, the mob started looting the entire market. I too hurriedly shut down my shop to avoid the mob's fury." Similar incidents were reported from Achintola and Balupur haat in Ratua today. In those two markets, potatoes was the target of the mob. The excited buyers claim that though the farmers are being deprived of their dues, a section of brokers have indulged in black-marketing by piling hoards of vegetables. President of Malda Merchant Chamber of Commerce, Mr Jayanta Kundu, in a letter to the Malda SP Mr Mukherjee stated that no police action was taken even after massive looting in three haats in Malda today. Mr Kundu, further threatened in writing that recurrence of such incidents would lead to shortage of vegetables in the market. However, he admitted that price of vegetables had gone beyond the means of common people. Additional district magistrate (general), Mr NK Biswas, conceded looting of vegetable in three markets in Malda. He claimed that police and block administration rushed to the spots to control the situation. Block development officers were asked to monitor the markets to prevent recurrence of such incidents.

History of agrarian reform dates back to the era of the Romans and Greeks. During this period, there was a lot of unrest between the landless as well as the landowners. Land reform occupied a vital place in the Gracchian agrarian laws. There are instances in history when there was wide unrest among the peasants, who demanded reforms in land. The Peasants' Revolt in 1381 and German Peasants' War in 1524 to 1526 are examples of the same.
With the Russian Revolution in 20th century, a new dimension was added to the agrarian reform. It followed socialized agriculture. In Socialized agriculture land is collectively owned, partially by state farming but primarily by collective farming under the jurisdiction of the state Once in power, Lenin, assigned all land under state property. This was in the year 1917. Peasants took over several landed property. Voluntary collectivization promoted by Lenin failed miserably. Communist rule prevailed in the Eastern European countries after the Second World War. When Communist rule fell in Eastern part of Europe during the period 1989 to 1990 and after Soviet Union disintegrated in the year 1991, efforts were being made to privatize the agricultural sector .
Due to Communist Revolution in the year 1949, small peasant cooperative bodies joined to form large communicates. All land was transferred to the peasants. These large communicates were abolished as they proved to be inefficient and stagnated agricultural production. By the year 1980, China returned land to individuals. This in turn promoted agriculture, which was market oriented.
In the densely populated Indian subcontinent, there has been marked unrest among the laborers for several reasons pertaining to land. The primary reasons for the turmoil were:
In Japan, agrarian reform struck roots during Meiji Restoration between 1868 to 1912. Supervision of land reform was done by the U.S Occupation Forces after the World War II. Due to this, approximately 80% of the land (tenanted) was handed over to the tenant cultivators from the landlords.

I grew Japanese Climbing Cucumbers from SSE last year. I saved some seeds and planned on growing them again this year. But I am also thinking about pickling a few which I have never done.
So, should I also grow another type for pickling, or find one type that is okay both for salads and pickling? I am assuming that the Japanese Climbing isn't good for pickling. I had wanted to save seeds again this coming year, but wouldn't be able to if I grow 2 different types, right? Any suggestions? I am in Wisconsin. |
Follow-Up Postings:
IME almost any cucumber is OK for pickling. It depends on what type pickles. I am no pickling expert, but I know my wife uses this type for sliced bread and butter pickles(at least I think that's the name). JMO, Tom |
What kind of pickling do you plan to do? I grow Poona Kheera last year and it has a permanent place from now on in my garden. It is a dual purpose cucumber, I made pickle relish with them and it turned out very good. The Poona Kheera did very well in my 4b/5a zone and has some disease resistance. I loved the flavor as it was never bitter. Note the color turns some people off, but it stopped people in the alley from stealing them. Dean |
"I had wanted to save seeds again this coming year, but wouldn't be able to if I grow 2 different types, right?" Yes, you can, IF you take measures to prevent the two types cross pollinating. That would be to bag some blooms before they open (some of both male and female ~ cover with lightweight paper bags or make some reusable drawstring ones out of floating row cover ~ make sure to seal the openings well when you put them on the blooms), take the bags off to hand pollinate once they open, then bag them immediately afterwards to keep bees out. Alternatively, you could "cage" them ~ simply cover the entire plant with something to exclude pollinators. This can be as simple as floating row cover (make sure to seal the edges well) or a bottomless box made of some sort of frame (wood or pvc pipe) and covered with window screening or floating row cover. Either way you do it, just make sure to save seeds only from blooms that have not been uncovered at all when open. And mark the ones you've hand pollinated ~ it's a real bummer when you don't do that (says the voice of experience ;). |

TMJ Dysfunction
Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) is a common condition. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, 10 million Americans experience TMJ problems. Often, sufferers experience chronic headaches, including migraines. Dr. Oser provides non-surgical treatment to alleviate headache pain and other TMJ symptoms to deliver lasting relief.
Smooth jaw motion depends on the optimal function of the two small joints in front of your ears. Pain and pressure occurs when these joints are aggravated by physical or emotional stress, trauma, a misaligned bite, or other factors. Patients with TMJ dysfunction often report one or more of the following symptoms:
- Headaches, including chronic migraines
- Chronic earaches
- Tingling in the fingers
- Unexplained facial, neck, shoulder, jaw, or lower back pain
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Inability to fully open or close the mouth
- A jaw that pops or clicks
Dr. Oser will perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth, jaw, and bite to determine the source of your problem. Millions of people who suffer TMJ-related distress experience relief with oral appliance therapy. A thin, comfortable mouthguard repositions your jaw to ease stressed muscles and encourage optimal alignment. This customized treatment can alleviate headaches, including migraines, and other painful TMJ symptoms.
Additional migraine headache and TMJ treatments include building up the surface of back teeth to correct bite misalignment, stress management tips, and lifestyle changes.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Isaacson, Zelda URN etd-07142006-103346 Document Title A speech programme for deaf learners to be used in the classroom Degree DPhil (Communication Pathology) Department Communication Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof S R Hugo Keywords
- teachers of the deaf
- speech therapy
- deaf education
- speech study and teaching
- deaf children language.
- deaf means of communication
Date 2001-04-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract This thesis sets out the rationale and design for a speech programme for Deaf learners to be implemented by teachers in the classroom. Theoretical and empirical research are provided to support its design. Speech teaching is set against a backdrop of current issues so that the programme is seen to take cognisance of these. To this end the disappointment and conflict which surround speech teaching and newer educational and audiological trends are described. Following this, the deviant speech of the Deaf is described. Prevocal aspects of speech production, namely aberrant repiratory functioning and deviant vocal set are described. The latter is a term coined for this research to denote psychological, functional, physical and neural changes that deleteriously affect the speech of the Deaf. Suprasegmental and segmental problems are next delineated. An argument that supports the view that vowels are less accessible to correction than consonants is proposed to explain the empahasis accorded to consonants. Hereafter, theories of speech teaching are set out to clarify their incorporation into the proposed programme. Critiques of Haycock, the Ewings, Ling and van Uden are provided. The role of computers and biofeedback is evaluated.The Whole Language Approach to mainstream education, the phonological method of speech correction, and creative techniques, speech arid drama, and singing, are described in relation to speech instruction for Deaf learners. Empirical research that investigates attitudes and needs of educators of Deaf children, with the emphasis on the class teacher, is delineated. Finally, the proposed programme is presented emphasising its potential to interrupt the current self perpetuating negative cycle. Theoretical principles are a defocus on lipreading cues to provide information on speech production, restriction of digital contact with the larynx or throat, repeated cycles of intervention at phonetic and phonological levels, and the employment of five multisensory avenues to enhance speech perception. The latter are orosensory, graphic, kinaesthetic, hand analogies and use of inanimate objects. Skills targeted for development are control of vocal organs, suprasegmental, segmental and phonological development. The fit of the proposed programme to the education paradigm in terms of learner, teacher and school system is described. The thesis concludes with an evaluation of the programme and recommendations for future research.

Someone sent me a computer to work on.
Custom built, 512RAM, 2.6Ghz, XP Home, 80GB HD First thing, I opened it up and blew the dust out. Then I hooked it up and started it up. All was fine. I have some utilities on a flash drive that I use when I work on a computer, so I plugged in the flash drive. It recognized it, but there was an error loading the driver. Something like "driver was corrupted and unable to be installed." I went into Device Manager, uninstalled it, and tried again. Same thing. Tried a few more times. Same thing. Ok, so I can't use my flash drive, so I tried an external CD/DVD drive. Same exact problem as the flash drive. I restarted the computer. Disk Error: Insert System Disk to Continue. I restarted the computer again. Same thing. and again. Same thing. I restarted the computer again, POST passed, and a screen showing the settings came up showing the hard drive, but it hangs at "Verifying DMI Pool Data...." I looked this up online but so far nothing has worked. It won't boot from a system floppy, it still hangs. I put my XP disk in it and tried to do a Repair on it.
I pulled the hard drive out and hooked it up to my computer
The old drive was recognized at POST as 13.xx GB,
All I need to do is somehow get the data off of this drive.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Pooh Bear |

With custom builds I have always found it needs the original operating system CD to any chore. Strange that we can use a different CD on factory builds but not custom boxes. Apart from Gene's suggestion I think I might download either a Kaspersky or Bitdender rescue CD.

You might consider using the driver manufacturer's diagnostic software. At least that would let you know if the drive is failing. |

I have a Knoppix v6.2 CD. I booted into that. But it didn't look anything like at that link so I had no idea what to do with it from there. I also have a Knoppix v3.2 CD. I booted into that |

I put the Knoppix v3.2 CD in and booted from that. I got the Knoppix desktop. But there were no hard drives listed. I shut it down and took the hard drive out. I don't know what to tell this nice lady about her computer. |

I downloaded Hiren's Boot CD v14 and ran Tiny XP from it. Then I downloaded the diagnostic utility from Western Digital. This was the result: The diagnostic utility recognizes that there is a drive there. |
Well at least you have a test report you can print to show the good lady. I suppose the date stamped on it is outside the warranty period? |
Probably too late to save anything from the drive. Don't know if this works, but you could try removing the HDD and putting it in the freezer for several hours. Then re-install and see if it is recognized. That might allow you to save information from it. |

depending on how the drive has failed using the freeze method does work in some cases. However you need to be very fast and be ready to copy the data off to an external drive or flash drive it will now last long when it starts to thaw which is instantly. You need to put it in a zip lock bag in the freezer and leave it normally over night to get a good solid freeze. Then if you have those blue ice frozen things as soon as you take the HD out of the freezer keep that blue ice on it to keep it cold (some people actually use dry ice). Some people keep the HD out of the pc so they can keep it iced and last longer, if you have room to do that I would. try googling freeze a hard drive this is one of the many results |
PB, After taking the HD from the freezer, install it and initiate a cold boot? Sorry just couldn't pass that one up at my old friend's expense. |

hahahaaa DA yes a VERY cold boot LOL |
Ahhhhhh!!! |
- Posted by poohbear2767 (My Page) on Sun, Aug 14, 11 at 16:26
I could try freezing the drive, but it would still take several hours to move the data off of it. The computer only has USB v1.1 ports. Couldn't move data fast enough. I'm just gonna have to tell her about the hard drive. Pooh Bear |
Hey PB I could have sworn I saw you driving down the highway by Ann Arbor Friday. At least the license plate on the Honda said it was you. When I pulled up along side the bleach blonde hair, the deep red lipstick, the dangling ear-rings, the cigarette, and the cellphone activity assured me it wasn't you. :-) DA |

Third Millennium Bible (TMB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, "Why do ye look one upon another?" | 1 When Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, he said to his sons, "Why do you just keep looking at each other?" |
2 And he said, "Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt. Go down thither and buy for us from thence, that we may live and not die." | 2 He continued, "I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down there and buy some for us, so that we may live and not die." |
3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. | 3 Then ten of Joseph's brothers went down to buy grain from Egypt. |
4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren, for he said, "Lest perhaps mischief befall him." | 4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him. |
5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan. | 5 So Israel's sons were among those who went to buy grain, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also. |
6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was who sold to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brethren came and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. | 6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the one who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph's brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground. |
7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he recognized them, but made himself as a stranger unto them and spoke roughly unto them; and he said unto them, "From whence come ye?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan to buy food." | 7 As soon as Joseph saw his brothers, he recognized them, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. "Where do you come from?" he asked. "From the land of Canaan," they replied, "to buy food." |
8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. | 8 Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they did not recognize him. |
9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed about them, and said unto them, "Ye are spies! To see the nakedness of the land ye have come!" | 9 Then he remembered his dreams about them and said to them, "You are spies! You have come to see where our land is unprotected." |
10 And they said unto him, "Nay, my lord, but to buy food have thy servants come. | 10 "No, my lord," they answered. "Your servants have come to buy food. |
11 We are all one man's sons; we are true men, thy servants are no spies." | 11 We are all the sons of one man. Your servants are honest men, not spies." |
12 And he said unto them, "Nay, but to see the nakedness of the land ye have come." | 12 "No!" he said to them. "You have come to see where our land is unprotected." |
13 And they said, "Thy servants are twelve brethren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more." | 13 But they replied, "Your servants were twelve brothers, the sons of one man, who lives in the land of Canaan. The youngest is now with our father, and one is no more." |
14 And Joseph said unto them, "That is it that I spoke unto you, saying, `Ye are spies!' | 14 Joseph said to them, "It is just as I told you: You are spies! |
15 Hereby ye shall be tested: by the life of Pharaoh ye shall not go forth hence, unless your youngest brother come hither. | 15 And this is how you will be tested: As surely as Pharaoh lives, you will not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. |
16 Send one of you and let him fetch your brother; and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be tested, whether there be any truth in you; or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies!" | 16 Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!" |
17 And he put them all together into custody three days. | 17 And he put them all in custody for three days. |
18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, "This do, and live, for I fear God: | 18 On the third day, Joseph said to them, "Do this and you will live, for I fear God: |
19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be bound in the prison house. Go ye, carry corn for the famine of your houses. | 19 If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households. |
20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die." And they did so. | 20 But you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that your words may be verified and that you may not die." This they proceeded to do. |
21 And they said one to another, "We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, and we would not hear. Therefore has this distress come upon us." | 21 They said to one another, "Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come upon us." |
22 And Reuben answered them, saying, "Spoke I not unto you, saying, `Do not sin against the child'; and ye would not hear? Therefore, behold, also his blood is required." | 22 Reuben replied, "Didn't I tell you not to sin against the boy? But you wouldn't listen! Now we must give an accounting for his blood." |
23 And they knew not that Joseph understood them, for he spoke unto them by an interpreter. | 23 They did not realize that Joseph could understand them, since he was using an interpreter. |
24 And he turned himself away from them and wept; and returned to them again and communed with them, and took from them Simeon and bound him before their eyes. | 24 He turned away from them and began to weep, but then turned back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes. |
25 Then Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with corn and to restore every man's money into his sack, and to give them provision for the way; and thus did he unto them. | 25 Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them, |
26 And they laded their asses with the corn and departed thence. | 26 they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left. |
27 And as one of them opened his sack to give his ass provender at the inn, he espied his money; for behold, it was in the mouth of his sack. | 27 At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. |
28 And he said unto his brethren, "My money is restored; and lo, it is even in my sack." And their heart failed them and they were afraid, saying one to another, "What is this that God hath done unto us?" | 28 "My silver has been returned," he said to his brothers. "Here it is in my sack." Their hearts sank and they turned to each other trembling and said, "What is this that God has done to us?" |
29 And they came unto Jacob their father, unto the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell them, saying, | 29 When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them. They said, |
30 "The man who is the lord of the land spoke roughly to us, and took us for spies of the country. | 30 "The man who is lord over the land spoke harshly to us and treated us as though we were spying on the land. |
31 And we said unto him, `We are true men; we are no spies. | 31 But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies. |
32 We are twelve brethren, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.' | 32 We were twelve brothers, sons of one father. One is no more, and the youngest is now with our father in Canaan.' |
33 And the man, the lord of the country, said unto us, `Hereby shall I know that ye are true men: Leave one of your brethren here with me, and take food for the famine of your households, and be gone; | 33 "Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, 'This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go. |
34 and bring your youngest brother unto me. Then shall I know that ye are not spies, but that ye are true men; so will I deliver you your brother, and ye shall traffic in the land.'" | 34 But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade in the land.' " |
35 And it came to pass as they emptied their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when both they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid. | 35 As they were emptying their sacks, there in each man's sack was his pouch of silver! When they and their father saw the money pouches, they were frightened. |
36 And Jacob their father said unto them, "Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and ye will take Benjamin away. All these things are against me." | 36 Their father Jacob said to them, "You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!" |
37 And Reuben spoke unto his father, saying, "Slay my two sons if I bring him not to thee. Deliver him into my hand, and I will bring him to thee again." | 37 Then Reuben said to his father, "You may put both of my sons to death if I do not bring him back to you. Entrust him to my care, and I will bring him back." |
38 And he said, "My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If mischief befall him by the way in which ye go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the grave." | 38 But Jacob said, "My son will not go down there with you; his brother is dead and he is the only one left. If harm comes to him on the journey you are taking, you will bring my gray head down to the grave in sorrow." |

Hi folks! Would it be helpful to you to have a page that would allow you to keep track of your trades? What I'm considering is a chart/page that would allow you to enter the trader's name, item, date sent/received, misc/notes, etc. It would be a private (viewable only by you) page that would be accessible from your member page and trading list. Let me know what you think and what else you might like to see on the page. Best, Tamara |
Follow-Up Postings:
Oh, Tamara - that would be wonderful! Even better - this tool with an automatic delivery to our email!!!! |
Heck YES, we want that! And I agree with Kay about linking it to our email. |
Somebody created one. She emailed it to me and I've used it. It's an Excel spreadsheet and very effective. You might ask her how she did it (or I can show you). Love the idea it's linked to this website and email, too. |
Kay -- I'm not sure that I understand what you mean by linking it to your email? Do you mean when you add/modify it, it would send it to your email? |
I think it's a great idea! |
I too think it is a great idea. I'm wondering too why anyone would want updates sent to their email, since it would be one's own tracking chart and updated just as we update our own trade lists. Would it be possible to show us a 'proposed chart' and then we could maybe make further suggestions on it before it is actually put into operation? Sue |
Depending on how it's set up, it would be nice to link to a trading member's profile page, or better yet, to their current R&R forum thread. I've noticed that a lot of newer members sometimes don't post R&R's correctly, and I think it's partly b/c of trouble finding an already started thread. If there were a search function for entering the GW user name for whom you are trading with, that could help streamline things, too. |

Tamara, I have an excel spreadsheet that I've used for years that I track all my trades/swaps on for the year - sounds very similar to what you're proposing (trader/swap, what I sent, what I received, when sent/received, etc). I would love to have something similar to be a part of our own private page. Would you be able to create it so we can download it to excel for us to save as an excel file on our pc for use...... Sandy |
Tamara, what I am proposing would be: When we set up a trade, using the trade tracking chart, it would automatically be sent to our email address. I have had many experiences where me or the other trader FORGOT about an agreement to trade. If it came to our email we would have another notice that we perhaps wouldn't forget. |
- Posted by farmergirl2009 Eastern WA zone 5 (My Page) on Thu, Jan 10, 13 at 9:03
Yes, linked to member's profile page. I am one of those that doesn't post to R&R page correctly and have been notified its not done correctly but NO ONE has said how to do it. I would love it because for now I try to write in a journal I keep. |
- Posted by wally-1936 Richmond Tx (My Page) on Thu, Jan 10, 13 at 9:46
I think it would be a great idea. Before I have never gotten enough request for seeds until I found all I needed to do was say HAVE. When the request get to the point of needing to keep track my mind is not great at keeping track and have only recently needed to keep track and started out with only a Word program but Excel would be a much better way to go to organize record-keeping. Thanks |
- Posted by Indiana.Matt 6a Indiana (My Page) on Thu, Jan 10, 13 at 22:20
I like the idea too. Do make sure where ever a member's name appears it is linked to there trade page. |
Sounds great to me!! |
Just moving this to the top. Tamera, can this be made to stay at the top of the first page? |
- Posted by zioncottage 6 (My Page) on Fri, Jan 11, 13 at 15:39
Great idea! Yes, link it to email. Also, have a spot on the chart for keeping track of whether or not we've written their feedback and maybe a spot to keep track of venues in case we have trades from a different exchange forum or website? |

24 April 2008
Scientists probing the far corners of space could one day witness violent events in the creation and development of the universe thanks to a project involving the University.
Professor Bangalore Sathyaprakash of the School of Physics and Astronomy is leading a team analysing data gathered by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatories in Europe and America. The Observatories use sensitive lasers and detectors to scan the universe in search of ripples in space called gravitational waves.
Gravitational waves are triggered by the movement of massive objects in space, such as the collision of stars and the vibrations from black holes. When these events occur, the force is so great that ripples are created in space, much the same as they would appear on a pond after throwing in a stone.
The waves were predicted in 1916 by Albert Einstein as part of his theory of general relativity, but as yet haven't been detected directly.
Now, a seven year £100M upgrade to the detectors housed at the American Observatory means that Professor Sathyaprakash and his team could in the future help detect gravitational waves as they travel to Earth, as often as once a week.
Professor Sathyaprakash, of the School of Physics and Astronomy said: "The Gravitational Physics group at Cardiff is involved in the search for the most violent phenomena in the Universe, namely collisions of neutron stars and black holes, progenitors of gamma-ray bursts and supernovae. By observing gravitational waves we will subject Einstein's theory of gravity to the most stringent test ever."

(Digital Photography I and II) – http://www.bryanhewitt.net
Bryan Hewitt is an interdisciplinary artist and freelance photographer currently living and working in San Anselmo and San Francisco, California. He has shown both nationally and internationally, most recently as part of Raw Feed at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Third Strike: 100 Performances for the Hole at SOMArts Cultural Center in San Francisco, CA and Over My Dead Body at Root Division in San Francisco, CA.
He is currently represented by Chandra Cerrito, Art Advisor. His work is included in the permanent collections of Yatoo, The Korean Nature Arts Association, and SF Recycling & Disposal.
Hewitt attended Southern Oregon University where he earned a B.A. in Art with a minor in Spanish Literature in 2000. He received an M.F.A. in New Genres from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2004. Since that time he has held positions as an instructor at the graduate and/or undergraduate level at the Memphis College of Art, the Art Institute of California-San Francisco, the UC Berkeley Extension Program, the Academy of Art University and the San Francisco Art Institute. He is currently working as a freelance photographer, color management consultant and photography instructor.
(Art) – www.johnhewittart.com
John began painting in college with Vernon Nye, who was chairman of the art department at Pacific Union College. Immediately after finishing medical school, John continued study with Vernon and with other California School greats such as Millard Sheets, George Post, and Rex Brandt.
John was appointed instructor in art at College of the Redwoods from 1982 to 1985, where he also had a one-man show in 1984. In 1994 he was appointed instructor in art at Pacific Union College and now teaches their yearly summer art course at Mendocino, California, during the last two weeks of June.
John is in several permanent collections nationwide, and exhibits regularly in national juried shows. He has had 10 one-man shows in several different states and galleries in the past 15 years. He has been in over 100 national juried watercolor show in the last 20 years with 27 awards.
Permanent Collections: State of California (Jade Fon Asilomar purchase award winner 1985), Ingomar Club of Eureka, Calif., Trust Fund of the West museum collection; University of West Virginia Hruby Memorial Hospital; St. Joeseph's Hospital in Eureka California; and many professional office complexes.
Artist's Statement: I believe that great painting evokes an emotional response in the viewer that can not be translated into words. It is a manipulation of form and color that grabs the viewer without intention. I believe quality paintings are more likely achieved by heeding the wisdom of those who came before rather than simply launching rudderless into the unknown. I believe that the final judgment of what is good art rests with the people who purchase it as well as those 'trained' to judge it. That being said, I strive to paint as personal a view of the world as possible. I am particularly interested in areas of conflict in nature such as the sea against the shore, timberline in the mountains, the effects of nature against the temporariness of manmade structure, and of the people who are part of it all.
John has been represented by several galleries including Accurate Art of Sacramento California; Valperrine Gallery of Madison, Wisconsin; Tudor Gallery of Brookings, Oregon; Peanut Gallery of Portland, Oregon; Presidio Gallery of Sonoma, California; the Zimmer Gallery in Mendocino, and the Grimmer Gallery in Oakhurst, and the Vault Gallery in Sonora, California.
(Art) – www.simpsonwatercolors.com
Dennis Simpson, an artist, admits to being a "storyteller." He is a watercolorist creating the story with a brush rather than a pen. It is a convincing narrative. He was born in 1946 in Albany, California. He began painting at the age of 8. He painted through high school, later meeting and studying with the accomplished painter Vernon Nye, AWS, who became his mentor and trusted friend. Simpson learned to be spontaneous as opposed to being deliberate in the application of his paint.
After graduating from Cal State University, Hayward, with a degree in fine art, Dennis served in the Army as an illustrator, 5th Army Pistol Team member and a Helicopter medic from 1970 to 1972. He was a Special Education teacher and part-time art instructor before retiring in 2004.
Artists such as Homer, Sargent, Degas, Breton and Nye have been most influential on Simpson. He also feels a close affinity to the Barbizon approach to landscape painting, where the changing light, weather and daily rituals provide the subject for his paintings.
Simpson prefers "plein air" painting. The rolling California hills and coastal scenes are his focus. A painterly approach appeals to the artist, capturing his impressions and personal feelings generated by the subject at hand. By allowing the paint to settle in ways one can not anticipate, he brings even more integrity to his work. He admits there are certain things in painting, like life, that you just cannot predict. By honoring the past he believes one can add a little bit of "it," making it fresh, your own.
He loves the first 15 minutes of the painting process, laying the groundwork. "The shape, texture and values of the visual elements confronting me are more important than the elements themselves in my efforts to capture a scene or object." In designing the composition he "snatches some fun." He then has to deal with "sets of skirmishes" and "mitigates the damage." Simpson likens himself and the art of watercolor to that of a physician. The artist and physician are directed by the circumstance. At times one must act quickly, in the now, perform and improvise where needed.
Like Homer, Simpson has thrown away what many set as "rules." He is not a purist. He will not hesitate to do what it takes to create his finished painting, be it lifting color or scratching the surface. He continues to teach credited watercolor workshops at Pacific Union College in California. The artist instills in his students the need to simplify, simplify, simplify. He reminds his students that "they are not cameras and never will be.
