The Edwin M. Knowles China Company®*
© 2004, Michael E. Pratt
abridged & excerpted from unpublished work
True modern is simplicity of form, grace and dignity in manner and lines which contain rhythm and balance. --Vincent Broomhall, 1936
Early Company History
Edwin M. Knowles ( -1943) was the son of Isaac Watt Knowles
(1819-1902), a founder and partner of the firm Knowles, Taylor, and
Knowles Co., which by the turn of the century had become the largest
pottery in the world. Edwin Knowles' father had helped pioneer many
inventions that revolutionized American dinnerware manufacture.
Edwin M. Knowles entered the pottery business after receiving his
education at Allegheny College and Harvard University. He took control
of the Potters Supply Company of East Liverpool, Ohio in 1890. By 1900,
he became founder and president of the Knowles China Company, which soon
changed its name to the Edwin M. Knowles China Co.
The Knowles facility, located in Chester, West Virginia, was
described as a "model plant of the highest order." Edwin Knowles
determined that his firm would manufacture only the finest semi-vitreous
ware. One year later, product from the plant was lauded by the Crockery
and Glass Journal as the highest grade ware: "weight is light, its
finish the finest, its shapes graceful, its decorations artistic, and
its body and quality most durable." Knowles' reputation for creating
quality product became known throughout the industry. Demand for Knowles
product grew.
It wasn't long thereafter that plant No. 2 was erected, just two
miles south of plant No. 1 along the Ohio River in Chester, West
Virginia in Newell, West Virginia. The pottery was located near the
plant of the Homer Laughlin China Company, which by now had overtaken
Knowles, Taylor and Knowles Company as the largest pottery in the world.
Business at Edwin M. Knowles continued to improve post-crash and by
November 1930 production had been at its best since the ending of the
World War. The number of workers at this time was about 725 and by March
1931, with business still improving, employment was reported at about
600 workers. The firm consolidated its manufacture at the Newell
factory, selling its Chester, West Virginia plant to the Harker Pottery
in 1931.
Middle Company History
Vincent Broomhall (1906-1991) became the firm's art director in 1935.
A native of East Liverpool, Ohio, he attended the Carnegie Institute of
Technology and won an International Painting Scholarship to the Boston
School of Fine Art. Broomhall was a designer for Palm Fechtler &
Company in New York City in 1932 and 1934, prior to joining the Knowles
The deco-modern Yorktown dinnerware was introduced in 1936. The line
was characterized by many circular ridges or terraces, a common design
feature at this time. Handles and finials were curving triangular wings.
On plates, they served as lugs, suitable for carrying. Handles were
also terraced and while not solid shapes, they reiterated the wing
The form was described as "a shape of truly modern elegance". While
the line predates the more simplified forms of mid-century modern, the
innovative styling, futuristic asymmetry, and move toward simplicity
make this line an evolutionary parent of mid-century modern.
Yorktown's terraced wing & body design, while perhaps the most
popular of these design types, was actually preceded by the winged and
ribbed Cascade shape produced by the James River Pottery Company in
1935. The Cascade shape is the patented work of Simon Slobodkin, who in
all likelihood deserves the title, father of mid-century modern American
W. H. Locke Anderson, superintendent of the Edwin M. Knowles China
Company, commented on this nation's ceramic design trends in 1936.
Anderson observed:
From an artistic standpoint the American industry is gradually
divorcing itself from European influence. It is developing a style of
form and decoration that is distinctly American.
A full-featured line of kitchenware accessories was introduced by the
company in 1938. The line, designed by Vincent Broomhall, was said to
be modern and promoted the space-saving concept in the kitchen. The
ware, available in seven colors that could be mixed and matched, was
said to be in colors jointly adopted by retail organizations.
1939 was "the year to buy American," according to a Knowles'
marketing initiative. Emphasizing that even in the thirteen original
colonies, American's displayed "an amazing amount of good design", the
company introduced its new shape, Potomac, said to combine "Colonial
grace with modern simplicity". Patterns on the shape would be in "The
American Tradition", with themes from early American to American modern.
Potomac dinnerware, designed by Vincent Broomhall, was shown, two
years later, in the Studio Yearbook on the same page as the early modern
lines, American Modern (Steubenville) and Metropolitan (Gladding,
McBean). Although Potomac's flatware featured a rimmed plate, the coffee
pot was a simplistic modern shape with a disc finial sitting atop a
domed lid that continued the contour of the rounded body. Handles in the
line were simple rounded curves. The mid-century modern coffee pot
shape would again emerge a decade later with Accent, a coupe- shaped
line. The basic Potomac shapes would be resurrected in the 1950s and
called the Heritage shape.
Broomhall echoed Anderson's statements made in 1936 four years later
at the American Ceramic Society, stating that American dinnerware design
was finally approaching an American style that was not bogged down by
European influence. He also noted that dinnerware styling was as
important in home furnishing as were the other trappings of interior
design. He remarked:
Today's dinnerware must fit in with the times. It must show the tempo
of motion, express clarity and contain the maximum function with the
simplest lines and forms.
Commenting that tableware design may vary from the traditional to the
avante garde, Broomhall advised that the designer be aware of the
average consumer.
Edwin M. Knowles remained president of the company until his death 9
February 1943. Succeeding E. M. Knowles as president was Frederick
Blackmore Lawrence, who would continue in this office until his death in
March 1948. William A. Harris Jr. would later serve as president during
much of the fifties and into the early sixties.
By 1944, Vincent Broomhall had served in the role of art director for
E. M. Knowles for over a decade. He left the Knowles firm in 1944 to
establish his own china firm, Continental Kilns. One year later,
Broomhall became vice-chairman of the design division of the American
Ceramic Society and in 1946, he became chairman of that same division.
In subsequent years, he served as a designer for the Harker China
Company, the Steubenville Pottery Company, and the Homer Laughlin China
Mid-century Dinnerware & Designers
Virginia Hamill
The Pacific Plaids, created by Virginia Hamill, were introduced c.
1950 on the Victoria shape. The Victoria shape is a simplified
traditional shape modernized with colorful hand-painted under-the-glaze
plaid decorations. Nine different plaids existed in 1950, named
primarily after California cities. They are characterized by the
presence or absence of an edgeband. Carmel, Sierra, and Monterrey were
without an edgeband, while Laguna, San Diego, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas,
and Plaid were with an edgeband. The line was said to be guaranteed
against "crazing, acids, and detergents."
Virginia Hamill was also responsible for the Anniversary shape, described by Knowles as:
…something unmistakably new and different…It's functional…some
pieces were designed for multiple use with today's new dining fashions
and limited storage space in mind. Its fashion-setting styling…its
modern simplicity and gracefull lines were inspired by fine Oriental
Despite its modern billing, the Anniversary shape has a more dated
appearance, than its advertisements might imply. While finials were
simple, rounded spheres, flatware retained a rim, handles resembled
elf-ears, serving pieces and bowls were footed and the coffee pot had a
more traditional modified-s-shaped spout. Decorations were traditional
florals, Flower Waltz and Daisy Chain, and a the geometric Bonnie Plaid.
Patterns were said to be mix-and-matchable.
Accent Shape
The Accent shape was brought to market in 1951. This simply designed
line featured coupe-shaped flatware, modified spherical shakers,
inverted conical finials and handles that came out horizontally from the
rim and sharply turned meeting the base of an unembellished cup,
creamer and sauceboat. The coffee pot, adopted from the Potomac shape,
kept the rounded handle of that line.
Many solid decorations and patterns were added to the Accent shape
during the 1950s. One of the most striking modern patterns was a
two-toned black and white decoration. Simplicity (1955), depicted a
black freeform scrolling line with interspersed turquoise dots and
platinum trim. Gourmet (c.1956) pictured a stylized table setting with
fish, foods, and kitchen implements. Twin Oaks, portrayed a stylized
country scene in brown, pink, and green and was featured in the
1953-1954 Studio Yearbook. Sunnybrook Farm, presented a collage of
stylized farm images sectioned by line accents.
Designer Freda Diamond was enlisted by Knowles to originate new
designs for 1953. On coupe-shaped ware, she introduced Paradise, which
featured a full-plate, modern-style blooming botanical with two perching
birds. Also on a coupe-shaped line, she designed the modern florals
Corsage and Silver Spray and undecorated Platinum Grey and Platinum
White. On the traditional, rim-shaped Mayfair shape, she created Frosted
Leaves and Oslo.
Criterion Shape
The Criterion shape was characterized by its rounded square, rimless
plates. Holloware had a rounded boxy appearance, with gently sloping
sides, forming a narrower opening than base. Lids were topped with a
playful round finial, while handles were simple ovals.
Criterion formed the backdrop for many modern decorations. Some of
these patterns included Ribbon (1954), a radial-armed, whirling abstract
decoration. Choreography (1955) featured solid squares balanced with
delicate freeform lines; Scroll (1955), a continuous looping line on
looping line design with interspersed dots; and Celestial (1955), a
random assortment of radial stars. Other modern decorations included
Ebonette (1954), a popular black cross-hatch pattern on white with solid
black holloware. Mobile (date unknown) featured freeform lines and
colorful shapes on white with sky blue holloware. Pink Threads (1954)
was a Pollock-esque decoration in pink and brown lines on white. Green
Threads was also available.
Forecast Shape
Forecast, another modern group was first introduced in December 1956
for the 1957 market. The sugar and the coffee pot featured a tall domed
lid continued the elongated egg-shaped contour of the body. Finials were
inverted cones and handles arched above the rim of the creamer and
coffee pot. Shakers repeated egg-shaped theme of the holloware. Flatware
was coupe-shaped. The original group included undecorated white and
five decorations, including the modern abstract, Flight. Modern abstract
botanicals included Festival, a radial decoration on a dotted
background and Sun Glow, orange and yellow daisies on gray. Weather Vane
featured a stylized fifties rooster perched atop a weather vane.
Erwin Kalla
Award-winning designer, Erwin Kalla (1924- ), was a free-lance
designer for Edwin M. Knowles during the fifties. Kalla, who studied
under famed Swedish sculptor, Carl Miles and Eros Saarinen at the
Cranbrook Academy, was propelled to design fame when he won first prize
for his modern sterling silver coffee and tea service in a 1957 Sterling
Today Holloware Design Competition.
Kalla felt that traditional dinnerware shapes were outmoded and that
despite industry's attempts to produce better product, solutions were
inadequate. He explained that we don't cook or serve food the same as in
the past and that storage space during the 1950s had become limited.
When challenged that industry had responded to some of these problems
with multi-purpose cookware and oven-to-table dinnerware, Kalla
explained that cup handles are frequently inadequate and should permit a
better grip. He felt that consumers had become accustomed to a certain
size relationship between bowl and handle. It would be better if
consumers would accept handles that were larger.
Edwin M. Knowles® is a registered trademark of the Edwin M. Knowles China Co.
Kalla stated that dinnerware decorations should flatter food and add
to ware's aesthetic value. He suggested that more textured surfaces
should be used on both earthenware and china. Decrying the sterile,
all-white look, Kalla offered that dinnerware's form and decoration
should be more light-hearted and playful.
Kalla felt that the designer has a responsibility to himself, the
consumer, and the manufacturer, to push the design envelope within the
limits of practicality. While designers often do try to introduce
innovation, manufacturers often stand in the way of progress. [This was a
common observation of mid-century designers.]
Kalla described Edwin M. Knowles China Company as a relatively small
factory of only several hundred employees. It was, in fact, capable of
providing advanced design that would appeal to a sector of the market.
Kalla Craft
Kalla Craft was designed by Erwin Kalla and introduced to the trade
in 1958. This full-featured "hostess" group matched semi-vitreous china
with walnut accessories. Kalla Craft was an interesting modern
innovation demonstrated a simple geometry. All four canisters were
frustrum-shaped-two upright and two inverted. Canisters A and C were
topped with walnut lids on the wide base of the inverted, cut-off cone,
while canisters B and D were lidded on the smaller diameter top. Cruets
had a modified hourglass design and without their walnut stoppers,
doubled as a pair of candleholders. The hourglass design was also shared
by the wooden handle on the salt & pepper tray and the double
server. The beverage server came with walnut trivet, the covered server
with walnut warmer stand and candle, and the cheese and cracker set with
a walnut tray.
Other interesting items in this line included a cup and buffet plate
which comprised the snack set; two and three-tiered trays with walnut
posts; a round ceramic cheese dish held in a rounded triangular walnut
tray; ice lip pitcher; and a one-piece, boat-shaped bon bon and free
form servers with handle hole.
Kalla Craft came in White, the contrast with walnut best displaying
form; Silver Birch, brown-streaked wear that is only appealing with the
walnut contrast; Weather Vane, a rooster on weather vane stylized
decoration; and Delft, featuring geometric and stylized florals.
Kalla Craft's Delft decoration was later adopted into the Americana
group, which featured wide-rimmed plates and a more traditional cup,
saucer, cream and sugar-the Americana shape. The Americana line also
borrowed the Kalla Craft-shaped coffee pot and salt and pepper shapes
into the Americana group. It is unknown whether other Kalla Craft
accessories were brought into the new line.
An interesting colorful geometric in Americana was called Fjord
Yellow. It appears that some holloware in this line was solid-colored
rather than decorated.
Esquire by Russel Wright
Russel Wright's Esquire dinnerware, introduced in 1956, has a sculptural beauty that sets it apart from many dinnerware lines.
A dealer display, showing the 13 steps of Esquire production, was
available from the Knowles company as a sales aid. Each step was
accompanied by an actual Esquire production photo depicting that phase
of manufacture. According to the display holloware was cast, with the
exception of the cups which were jiggered. This meant that cup handles
had to be later attached. While color and print was applied underglaze,
decals and gold application were an overglaze process. Gold decoration
was applied automatically by machine.
A Knowles' House & Garden advertisement for the Esquire patterns
in 1956 introduced: Grass, blades in green and gold on a light blue;
Antique White, undecorated matte white; Queen Anne's Lace, the floral in
soft yellow, green, and gold on antique white; Seeds, in sandalwood and
gold on a soft lemon yellow; and Snow Flower, delicate botanical in
white and gray on pink carnation-dominated by House & Garden colors
and gold.
Introduced in 1957 were Solar, a golden star decorations in gold and
blue on antique white, and Botanica showcasing fifteen different wild
leaves, ferns, vines and pods in white outline form on a tan background.
The entire Esquire line represents some of Russel Wright's most
pleasing aesthetic designs. Botanica is one of the most highly prized
patterns by collectors. This same year, new holloware pieces were
brought to market--a divided vegetable bowl, coffee pot, sauceboat and
relish dish (centerpiece server).
Russel Wright commented that the matte glazes were the eventual
demise of Esquire, citing a large number of rejects during production.
Four Seasons
Modern decorations in Four Seasons included: White (1959),
undecorated white, Washington Square (1959), depicting a stylized tree
and overlapping squares; Modern Classic (1960), a modified Greek key
motif in blue and green; and Reflections (1960), a modern abstract
utilizing arcs and triangles. Modern florals included Flower Chain
(1959), a daisy motif; Triad (1959), a delicate, tiny flower motif; and
Ring-A-Round (1959), depicting a modern rose decoration. A stylized
flower cart was featured on Street Song (1959).
Four Seasons featured accessory sets for serving informal meals.
Available was the "Dinner Duo", a large brass and walnut carrying tray
with two warmers for the covered casserole and coffee pot; a "Coffee
Caddy", a short, single-warmer version of the "Dinner Duo"; and the
"Salad Center", about the size of the "Dinner Duo", accommodating the
large salad bowl and vinegar and oil cruets.
Latter Company History
The company ceased operations in late 1962 citing a lack of
foreseeable profits. This was largely blamed on tariffs which were said
to encourage the importation of foreign dinnerware at prices so low that
E. M. Knowles could not be competitive.
*Name Trademarked
In 1982, the Edwin M. Knowles China Company name was trademarked by a
firm with the same name that is an exclusive supplier of products to
companies in the Bradford Group, a company that includes the Bradford
Exchange, Ltd., the world's largest source of plates for collectors
(limited edition porcelain plates which display artwork).

- Pettengill Hall, Room 113
B.A., Amherst College; Ph.D., University of Wisconsin-Madison
I teach courses about colonial North America, the United States' War for Independence, environmental history, and Native American history. My favorite class is a Short Term course on the history of Wabanakis, the collective term for the Penobscots, Passamaquoddies, Mi'kmaqs, and Maliseets of Maine but also New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
My principal scholarly interests focus on Native American interactions with Europeans during the colonial period. I have written a book exploring how European and Native American understandings of trade and gift-giving shaped the history of the Southeast between 1350 and 1740, but more recently my interests have shifted north. (See the link to the book below.) I am currently developing a research project around the question of how Wabanakis cultivated their ties to their homelands even as European-American colonists dispossessed them of most of that territory. It is inspired by a longstanding curiosity about the contemporary place of our colonial past and a developing desire to collaborating with Wabanaki historians on questions of common interest.
My love for history springs from what I saw—and overlooked—in my childhood. My hometown, Newport, Rhode Island, has long trumpeted its pre-Revolutionary past, and there are dozens of beautiful colonial homes to justify the local pride. Only late in college, though, did I realize that enterprising English colonists had not settled an empty colony. Although I knew "Narragansett" as a beautiful bay and a cheap beer, I had never thought much about the Narragansett people who continue to shape Rhode Island's history. Such a late epiphany for one fascinated by history was embarrassing, but it made clear to me that the biggest blind spots about our past are frequently the ones right in front of our faces. Whatever I teach, I continue to ask questions about the stories we tell and why. I may not make every student of history into a lover of history, but I hope that what I have to say about it encourages people to think carefully about where they are and how they got there.

Volkswagen unveils Super Bowl TV spot
Volkswagen has unveiled this year's Super Bowl TV spot that it will run during Sunday's big game in the US.
Volkswagen: unveils its Super Bowl ad
The 60-second ad, created by Deutsch LA, features an office worker who brightens up his dreary office with a positive attitude, which he expresses using an inexplicable Caribbean accent.
His attitude then starts to catch on around the office, with even his boss adopting the accent.
The spot, "get in. get happy", will air in the second quarter of the Super Bowl in New Orleans on 3 February.
Last year, VW revealed its ad, "the bark side", featuring 11 dogs barking 'The Imperial March' from 'Star Wars', as a teaser before the Super Bowl.
The ad was one of the most popular Super Bowl ads of 2012 and racked up more than 23 million views on YouTube and 15,944 shares in 24 hours.
VW has consistently produced popular Super Bowl ads in recent years. In 2011, the car brand was behind one of the most-shared ads on the year with its Super Bowl ad, "the force", featuring a mini Darth Vader.
Tim Mahoney, chief product and marketing officer at VW, said: "The Big Game presents an unparalleled creative opportunity to represent the Volkswagen brand. We're excited to reveal this year's campaign, which is designed to bring a jolt of happiness to viewers' daily lives."

A very basic question - can I anneal .9mm copper sheet with a small propane gas torch? Also,should I cold work the copper first? I'm making a garden sculpture and want the beaten look to the plate and I want to anneal for the aesthetic result ie., to take away the bright copper colour, I prefer not to use patinisation. Many thanks for any suggestions. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Annealing is a method of softening metal that has been hardened by one method or another. Copper is one of the metals that hardens when it is worked (bent, stretched). If all you want to do is color the copper a small torch will likely do the job, but you are not likely to be able to actualy anneal any signifiacnt size piece. To anneal copper it needs to be heated to about red hot and them allowed to slowly cool. It will be dead soft afterwards if the annealing is done correctly. Soft copper is not as strong as hardened (tempered) copper. |

Thanks Brickeyee - I had a go with the gas torch after beating the copper and managed to change the colour of the copper (bluish tones) so presume that I haven't actually annealed it. I'll have to come up with something more satisfactory. I remember using a small furnace at a metal working class, utilising a vacuum cleaner, but I've lost the instructions to make one. Any ideas or suggestions? Sharon of NZ |
Annealing does not always change the color. If you want to darken a small item put it on the oven at the highest temp you have and wait. It will oxidize to a darker finish. |

Thanks again for the advice Brickeyee - the copper is a bit darker now and at least I've got rid of the fairly garish blues etc, looks more like aged copper. Still have to find a means to anneal properly without spending a fortune or filling the garden shed with loads of equipment! Cheers, Sharon of NZ |
How big is the sheet of copper? You should be able to anneal the sheet if it's not overly large with a plumber's torch, if it's a large sheet- you may need another person and torch to keep the heat high enough. |
if i may know what type of inert or vacuum atmosphere ( gases) to be used in the furnace while annealing copper. i will be highly obliged |

I'm sorry I don't know - I ended up just using a plumbers propane torch plus heating in the oven as Bostonpat and brickeyee suggested respectively. Worked well for me as I was only after the decorative finish as I had already worked the copper. |

"It's a tremendous opportunity for Re/Max to position itself not only with families but their children," says company president Jesperson. "Kids remember things like that. Our salespeople are really getting on the bandwagon and wanting to schedule our hot-air balloons at the schools."
Martin says he thinks the teams that come in second in the race to circle the globe will simply fade into obscurity, like those pilots who were trying to beat Lindbergh across the Atlantic. But times have changed; these days every balloon team has its own Web site, and even the chronicles of the failed missions are widely disseminated. Barring a singular tragedy in flight, Tom Hamilton of Balloon Life doesn't see how Liniger can lose.
"When you take a look at all the press exposure Virgin [Records] got, even out of a failed attempt--Liniger is no different," Hamilton says. "He's bought a seat in this balloon. There's a certain amount of risk, sure; you can lose your life in this deal. But he's made an evaluation that the risk is worth the reward. Even if he isn't the first around, he's going to wind up with a lot of exposure for his company, probably in multiples of the money he's actually spending on the project."
Dave Liniger says he almost never took a vacation until after Gail was injured in the seaplane crash fifteen years ago, a crash in which the pilot was killed. Over the next year, he stayed with her at various rehabilitation hospitals and was almost never in the office. Re/Max International got along fine without him, he adds, and could do so again if, say, he went into the heavens in a balloon and never came back.
"There's twenty people who can run this company as good as I can," he says. "There are several who can probably run it better. I'm just not willing to step aside yet."
Gail Liniger says the seaplane experience taught them both that they weren't indispensable. "After my accident, that was pointed out very clearly to us," she says. "We learned the true value of delegation and the assets we have in the company."
Both of them say they've never spent much time having second thoughts about their love of adventure. Not after Gail's accident. Not after Dave blew a tire in a NASCAR race in Las Vegas, hit the wall doing 160--and walked away from it. Not when the opportunity to fly a balloon around the world came along, either. "That's just the way we are," Gail says.
Dave says he took a long look at the Team Re/Max project before committing his time and money. "I sat there and thought about the risk a lot," he says. "I thought, 'I'm still a young man, maybe I shouldn't try something this hard.' Then I started thinking, 'This is a piece of cake compared to driving my car.' Hell, you can walk across the street and get hit by a car."
Before his number comes up, Liniger wants to see the color of the sky at 130,000 feet. A voracious reader, he knows what test pilots such as Joe Kittinger have to say about it, but he wants to see it for himself.
"Being able to look up," he says, "and see that the sky above you is jet black, even in the middle of the day, and then look straight out and it's kind of turquoise, a color you've never seen before, and look down and see the curvature of the earth--that's as close as I'll get to being able to go into space."
That's twenty-odd miles closer than most people. Come New Year's Day, with good weather, a little planning and some luck, Dave Liniger expects that people in Rio de Janeiro or Antofagasta or Asunción will look into the starry night sky and see his big balloon crossing in front of the full moon.

Free Sunday admission and programs Wednesday evening hours with wine bar and French cuisine
PHILADELPHIA – The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is proud to present a schedule of special programs, performances, family art activities, and workshops in conjunction with the exhibition Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit, on view January 28 – April 15. In addition, Sunday admission to the exhibition and programs will be free during the run of the exhibition. A wine bar and food with a French flare will accompany extended Wednesday hours. Included in the public programs are "From Istanbul to Cairo" art making activities; an original performance by Pennsylvania's only African American opera company, Opera North, Inc.; and a night-sky exploration with Franklin Institute astronomer Derrick Pitts, inspired by Tanner's nocturnal scenes. Lectures will be offered on the newest discoveries about the artist's work, Tanner and Transatlanticism, and Tanner's influence on contemporary artist Willie Cole. Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit is being organized by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA), where the artist studied from 1879 to 1885. The exhibition will contain over 100 works, including 12 paintings that have never been shown in a Tanner retrospective and the only two known sculptures that Tanner completed. The exhibition also includes Tanner's famed Resurrection of Lazarus, from the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, a career-making canvas that earned Tanner his first international praise when it was exhibited in 1897 and which has never crossed the Atlantic. "Henry O. Tanner is a transcendent figure both in art and in the history of America," remarks Harry Philbrick, Edna S. Tuttleman Director of the Museum. "His compelling story and rich body of work will make for a superb national traveling exhibition." Henry Ossawa Tanner: Modern Spirit delves into the life and career of Henry O. Tanner from his upbringing in Philadelphia in the years after the Civil War; through the artist's training at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; his success as an American artist at the highest levels of the international art world at the turn of the 20th century; his role as an elected leader of an artist's colony in rural France; his unique contributions in aid of servicemen during World War I through the Red Cross in France; his modernist invigoration of religious painting deeply rooted in his own faith; and Tanner's depiction of the Holy Land and North Africa. The most substantial scholarly catalogue to date on Tanner's life and work accompanies the exhibition. This book includes 14 essays written by established and emerging scholars from the United States and France, and is being published by University of California Press. Additionally, the first-ever children's book about Henry O. Tanner was published by PAFA and Bunker Hill Press. Written and illustrated by the renowned artist-author Faith Ringgold, this publication will inspire generations of young people through the extraordinary accomplishments of Tanner. After premiering at PAFA, the show will travel to the Cincinnati Art Museum, from May 26 - September 9, 2012, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, from Oct. 21, 2012 - Jan. 13, 2013. Also on view: After Henry Tanner: African American Artists since 1940 January 28 - April 15, 2012 Henry Ossawa Tanner was a mentor and role model for younger artists during his lifetime and a source of pride for many generations of artists since his death in 1937. Drawing on PAFA's outstanding examples of work by African-American artists, this permanent collection installation will complement the Tanner retrospective to give a sense of Tanner's enduring legacy for artists working since his death. Artists included are Emma Amos, Richmond Barthé, James Brantley, Donald Camp, Elizabeth Catlett, Barkley Hendricks, Humbert Howard, Norman Lewis, Edward Loper, Whitfield Lovell, Faith Ringgold, Betye Saar, Raymond Saunders, Louis Sloan, Dox Thrash, Kara Walker, Kehinde Wiley, and others. Moe Brooker: The Evidence of Things Not Seen February 10 – April 15, 2011 The PAFA Alumni Sales Gallery will present an exhibition of works by Moe Brooker, inspired by the biblical reference "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Brooker's father was a member of the A.M.E. Church where Tanner's father was bishop. Moe Brooker is one of Philadelphia's most prominent artists. Along with his dedicated studio practice, he is very involved in the Philadelphia arts community, as chair of the City of Philadelphia's Art Commission and a member of the Mayor Nutter's Cultural Advisory Council. He also serves on President Obama's National Arts Policy Committee. Moe Brooker (PAFA '63), professor and chair of the Foundation Department at Moore College of Art and Design, received Moore's first endowed professorship, The Penny and Bob Fox Distinguished Professorship, in 2011. He also teaches at PAFA.

Just wondering.... more than 30,000 members. At most, I am guessing 20 or 30 or so post discussions or get involved in discussion. Not that I keep track.
That's the size of a mega-church. Sorry for the analogy. It's about the size of the town where I grew up. Also not a good analogy, that town was a sorry excuse for an over-sized septic tank. Let's just say it's a lot of people.
Anyway, I wonder what happens for the folks who sign on and don't post. I hope this site is useful for them. I suppose if 30,000 people were all posting and discussing it would be kind of overwhelming. Maybe page-views generate some funding for the site?
I also wonder about people who used to be very active, then.... poof! vanished! There are a bunch of them. Did they get bored? Found Jesus? Get busy and no longer had time? Found peace with being atheist, the need was met, move on?
Just speculating. I sometimes welcome new members hoping to inspire involvement, and others do a lot more of that than I do.

I just really like a lot of the people on here. We've been here together for so many years, and told each other about so much in our lives, that we are friends. Friends that don't believe in bullshit, so that is refreshing!
I used to be a VERY social (sociable?) person. I'm not now! I'm kind of hermit-y, and I like it!
I'm kind of hermit-y too. :)
That goes for you too Michael.....:)
I'm a hermit-y kind of a guy, and like it also. However, I would like at least one physical friend to talk with and do things with. Several would be OK, but one would be enough for me.
Yes Spud that would suit me as well....Everyone needs at least one really good friend..
All you need is one good friend..so you are doing great Mindy.........
I think that's how I ended up a theist. As a very young man my friend was Casper the Friendly Ghost. It was so neat that I was the only one who could see him. Just change the names around a little bit and you have an insight to understanding the religious idiot down the street.
I'm told that Hillary Clinton swears to the extreme, so I wouldn't worry about it. This is only an issue when it becomes an embarassment.

By: Jenna Lohse
(ABC 6 NEWS) -- There's some big changes coming to the food you eat. For the first time in 20 years, the FDA is changing its labels to reflect up-to-date nutritional references.
Like many parents, Jen Brewer finds shopping healthy a bit difficult with two kids in tow. "It's trying to find that big happy medium, what I'm happy with them eating and what their happy eating," said Jen Brewer of Rochester.
Which is why Jen pays close attention to nutrition labels. "First I'm going to look at the serving size because it says 3/4 cup, which my kids are going to put at least double that in," she said.
For the first time in two decades, the FDA giving these labels a makeover. Under the new label, the calorie count will be much bigger, a new category added sugars and empty calories will be added. But some of the major changes come in serving sizes. They will soon be more realistic, to reflect what we really eat.
"Say a soda, if it's half the bottle they're saying is a serving and more commonly people are consuming the entire container, let's be reflective of that," said Registered Dietitian, Katherine Zeratsky.
Same goes for ice cream. Right now a half cup is a single serving size, but soon a full cup will be the acceptable size and you'll get your full calorie count.
"If the information is more clear and it allows them to make an informed decision, they're just that much more empowered in their health," said Zeratsky, who says only 40 some percent of adults even use the label. But those who do, see the soon to be more understandable labels as a time saver at the grocery store.
"With a small child it's difficult anyway, so if it takes a few seconds off my trip, I'll appreciate it," said Rochester shopper, Ian Shaw.
"Kudos to them for taking it on," said Brewer.
The 700,000 new labels will cost the food industry an estimated $2 billion to put in place. The new labels will be mandatory within the next two years.

Realtor: Sellers not required to give up home's ghostly past
PHOENIX -- When you're out looking at a pre-owned home to buy, are you more concerned with who lived there before?
Or who died in that home before? Or if that home is haunted?
Realtor Greg Markov with Home Smart said the question comes up from potential buyers about the home's past and, if it was the scene of a murder or another type of death, Arizona state law said the seller does not have to disclose that information.
"They can't lie about it but they can choose to take the Fifth and not answer the question," he said.
That's not the only thing sellers don't have to give up. The law also applies to witches and goblins, but not zombies.
There is a website called diedinhouse.com that searches public records for a fee to see if any crimes or deaths are associated with the home.
"They merely mash up emergency response records so it's not a for sure thing but maybe," said Markov. "But the buyer can actually dig this info up on their own. Actually the best thing to do is just talk to neighbors."

The Legislature has provided funding for payment of exam fees for both fee-reduced (low-income) and non-fee-reduced students. To qualify for exam fee reimbursement for your students, each school must return the 2014 Advanced Placement Program Application (Cover and Budget sheet) to MDE by April 18, 2014.
Please note the deadlines listed below. Schools are responsible for adhering to all deadlines in order to receive reimbursement for qualifying student exams.
March 28, 2014: View and complete the AP Exam Order Form, indicating number of fee-reduced and non-fee-reduced exams for your school.
April 18, 2014: Complete the Advanced Placement Program Application 2014 and send to: Jacqui McKenzie, Minnesota Department of Education, 1500 Highway 36 West, Roseville, MN 55113
May 2014: Following the completion of exams, fill in the "Option 1" oval on the student's answer sheet for fee-reduced, category-one students. For non-fee-reduced, category-two students, fill in the "Option 2" oval. AP exam materials must be returned before the close of the first business day after the school's last scheduled exam of a particular administration period (i.e., regular or alternate).
June 16, 2014: Complete the online 2014 AP Exam Invoice and send full payment for exams to the AP Program at Educational Testing Service. The invoice will have a section for calculating the Minnesota reimbursement. To receive reimbursement, you must also send a copy of the 2014 AP Exam Invoice: State Copy, to: Jacqui McKenzie, Minnesota Department of Education, 1500 Highway 36 West, Roseville, MN 55113.
Fee-Reduced Exams (Category-One Students)
Each year the College Board provides fee reductions of $28 for qualified candidates who are unable to pay the full $89 fee for the Advanced Placement Exam. The basic guideline for financial need is membership in a low-income family, defined by federal Low-Income Guidelines or eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch. The additional cost of $53 per exam will be paid by the state for all exams for qualifying students. The school must first apply for a fee reduction from the College Board. The state will pay the difference the student would ordinarily pay after the $28 fee reduction from the College Board and $8 school rebate.
Non-Fee-Reduced Exams (Category-Two Students)
To the extent available, the state shall pay examination fees for students sitting for an AP exam. This year the state will pay $50 for each non-fee-reduced exam. Any additional costs to students will be $31 (or $39 if the school collects the $8 rebate from the College Board).

Crashing and Burning: My Epic Quest for Colored Sparks
Ever since I shot my first roll of steel wool lightpainting shots, I fell in love with the technique. Hanging out with friends, there's the thrill of doing something your parents would sternly shake their head at. There's this obvious charm about it, I mean, I got a friend who doesn't care for photography at all, yet each time I get the steel wool out, he begs to come along, giving suggestions how the shot could be more epic and stuff like that. After a while though, I got to wondering, could I get something more than just orange sparks? -

Every now and then, I get a hankering for some good Chinese take out. It happens pretty often, actually. Just thinking of the smell that comes from the big bag of stir fry, sweet sesame chicken, noodles and fried rice that comes home from our local restaurant makes me hungry. My family gets just excited about it as I do. However, it's not a secret that eating take out too often really isn't good for the waistline, or your health in general, really. But luckily, Chinese food can be cooked so easily at home with a few pantry staples, some lean proteins, and fresh vegetables, and I often wonder why I don't make it on a regular basis.
If you're like me and want to challenge yourself to learn how to cook up some restaurant quality (maybe even better?) Chinese food at home, check out this great collection of mouth-watering recipes after the jump!

Pros: good fit around waist & tum, very comfy.
Cons: I like a littlemore Spandex in a legging. Also ever-so-slightly loose in the legs.

I bought these leggings in three colors: white, charcoal and heather grey. They were the right length and light enough for the summer. I'm really pleased with my purchase.
Posted by Karen on 24th May 2014
Just ordered my first pair and am so glad I did.
They fit perfectly !!!!
Have 3 more pairs in my cart
I ordered size L.
I am 5'4 and 141 lbs
The length is perfect,
and the waist is taut without being tight.
The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable,
and the price fantastic.
Could not ask for more.
So glad I found this site.
Posted by Gretchin on 29th Apr 2014
I really like these leggings. I am 5'6", 125 lbs. The medium fits quite well. Length is great. Not too tight. Quite lightweight, almost see through, but should be great for summer.
I will be sure to follow washing instructions so they will last. Nice that they are made in North America.
Posted by Unknown on 7th Apr 2014
I recently discovered this website. I bought one pair just to test the size. Perfect!! So perfect that I bought 3 more pairs!! They feel fantastic against my skin. The colors are beautiful. I just might get a pair of each color. I can't wait.
Posted by Unknown on 17th Mar 2014
I ordered the medium this time & love the fit, the legs aren't as tight as with the small I ordered previously.
Posted by Donna Fountain on 15th Mar 2014
This is a great length for my 5 ft. 7 in. height & 117 lbs..
Purchased the medium this time & the legs aren't as tight as they are on the small, so now they're really comfortable.
Posted by kelly on 4th Feb 2014
Let it snow rain. Wind....but staying warm is key! I have purchased several pair of the cotton leggings in a lot of colors. So happy with your color selections too.
In order for them to remain beautiful, I was gentle in cold water with woo lite and hang dry. I find no fading, pilfering, shrinkage! Just clean and beautiful as the day they arrived.
Highly recommend my cleaning instructions so you the curious buyer, will have the joyful results as I do.

I find myself living in leggings these days. There is not much available in cotton. I am happy with all of the leggings I have purchased. The quality, variety, and fit have been consistently great. I love the prices, and things arrive quickly. I do not bother to comparison shop anymore. This company is the best!!!
Posted by Heidi on 4th Jan 2014
My order came in record time. I live in Hawaii. My order came in less than 3 days. I love the color and am going to order more in other colors. "The large is perfect for me; I am 5 ft 4 inches. They are super comfortable.
Posted by Unknown on 30th Nov 2013
I'm 5ft 7in, 114 lbs & have struggled to find leggings the length I want, these are fablous for length. The legs are a little tight, but will do. The colors are great too!!
Am very pleased.
Posted by Patricia C. Russell on 14th Nov 2013
I love these leggings. I gave them a 5 start rating even though they are a bit long. That is my problem for being so short. Order came quickly and promptly. Faster than I thought they would. The fabric is very soft and comfortable. I will probably order again from this site. I am very pleased.
Posted by Unknown on 6th Nov 2013
The only reason I didn't give this product a full 5 stars is because they definitely run a little small. I usually wear a medium in leggings and yes they fit but a little snugger than I'm used to. My shipment came two or three days after I ordered them and that never happens. Props to this site for a fast delivery! Will definitely continue ordering from this site.
Posted by Unknown on 25th Sep 2013
I've been looking for comfortable, cotton leggings forever. I'm 5'4" and 140 lbs., with an athletic build. These fit my "bubble butt" and muscular calves and thighs in a medium without feeling too tight. Finally!
Posted by Melody on 9th Jun 2013
the leggings are reasonably priced, fit well and look good.
I don't think leggings should go over 10 dollars personally but if you are going to pay upwards of 20.00 they should be good quality and last awhile. These look promising. I am 5'4 so these are a bit long for me but I am not adverse to rolling them a little.
Posted by bonnie on 9th May 2013
I'm 5'8" with very long legs & these fit!!! I love that they come down to my ankles and also come up far enough on my torso that I don't feel like they're falling off. The cotton fabric is very soft & comfortable. I originally just bought one pair to see what they were like. Loved them so much that I ordered more. These are now my go-to leggings
Posted by dragonlady on 5th May 2013
I ordered 2 pair of these cotton leggings, 1 in purple and 1 in teal, both size Small. The purple ones fit perfectly (though a bit long but I'm only 5'2" so I expect that if they aren't a Petite size) but the teal pair are much smaller than the purple pair. It's not worth sending them back really, but I don't know if I will ever want to wear that pair very much. I can get them on, but they are uncomfortably snug. The labels were attached in a different manner in each pair so I'm guessing that 2 different people sewed these.

The Black Keys file new lawsuit accusing advertisers of ripping off their music
The Black Keys have filed another lawsuit accusing companies of ripping off their music in advertising jingles.
The band, who sued Pizza Hut and Home Depot over copyright infringement last year, are now taking legal action against Pinnacle Entertainment, which runs casinos throughout the United States, and Manhattan Production Music, which creates music for adverts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
According to a lawsuit filed in New York federal court, the band accuse the companies of using a track "substantially similar" to their 'Howlin' For You' in adverts for casinos.
The Hollywood Reporter also claims that, when a fan of the band pointed out the casino operator's music, a representative for the casino tweeted, "We bought a licensed musical interpretation of the song." It is also alleged that on the YouTube page for the casino's advertisement, a spokesperson for the casino stated that the commercial is "a licensed track inspired by 'Howlin' For You' by The Black Keys".
Last June, the duo settled legal claims with Pizza Hut and Home Depot over copyright infringement out of court, after saying their music had been used in TV adverts without their permission. The pizza chain was alleged to have used "significant portions" of their track 'Gold On The Ceiling', while they claimed the DIY chain had used 'Lonely Boy' to sell power tools.

While we all lose during this NBA lockout, there are some players that are going to lose out more than others. You've got to feel for the rookies who started their NBA experience by getting drafted in Newark, New Jersey, rather than getting to walk across the stage of Madison Square Garden like draftees usually do. After getting drafted, they had a week to go to their new cities, meet their general managers and coaches and teammates, do a press conference to get their jersey, take some photos, and then that was it. No more contact with their coaches, no summer league, nothing.
That's rough. Spurs rookie, Cory Joseph took advantage of the time between the draft and the beginning of the lockout, spending his time in San Antonio with some of his teammates. Because he hasn't played in a few months, the Spurs wanted him to stay active and encouraged him to play for the Canadian National team.
After a recent practice with the team, Joseph couldn't wipe the smile off of his face when he was talking about his new team. "It means a lot," Joseph said of the Spurs decision to make him their newest player. "It's one big family. First class organization. First class fan base. The way they treat each other is unbelievable. I know they're unselfish and I'm an unselfish player. I'll fit right in."
Despite the lockout, Joseph has already began to build relationships with his new Spurs teammates and talks with them regularly. While he's excited to get started when the work stoppage ends, he isn't allowing himself any time to wonder about the draft-day deal the Spurs made to send George Hill to Indiana in exchange for rookie Kawhi Leonard.
"George Hill was a great player for them," Joseph said. "I don't try to get too much into that. That was obviously a decision they had to make and I'm just trying to go in there and do whatever Coach Popovich wants me to do."
What Popovich and co. wanted, was for Joseph to spend his summer playing against international competition, so that's what he's going to do.
Joseph's national team teammate, Andy Rautins reflected back on what summer league meant to him as he got ready for his first season in the NBA with the Knicks. "I think it helped a lot," Rautins said. "Especially getting comfortable with the system of your team, getting to know the offense, becoming accustomed to defenses. It helps a great deal to have the coaches there, get that perspective. I think we have a lot of professionals here and we have guys who have been through it before and we're going to try to help him along as best as we can. Hopefully we can help him get prepared for this upcoming season."
Leo Rautins, head coach of the national team, delved deeper into what rookies gain from the summer league experience, while also giving the Spurs organization a huge cosign.
"It's really important for young guys to have that opportunity," Rautins said. "It's almost a mini rookie season You go in there, you taste the NBA. Even though summer league is still a different animal than the regular season, I still think it's that whole exposure, going through it, I think it's valuable for thees guys. On the flip side, that's why this [playing for the national team] is so valuable. For a kid like Cory, you have to remember who he got drafted by. If I was a GM, I would park myself outside of San Antonio's locker room and whoever they cut, I'd take because they don't make bad decisions. The fact that they even have somebody in their camp, they've done their homework, they've done their work. It's one of the best organizations in the league. The fact that Cory was drafted by them tells you what they see in him."
If rookies are the ones really missing out on the opportunity to learn their team's offense during summer league, rookie point guards are going to have their plates full when the season begins. For Joseph, he's at least getting a taste with the national team.
"He's playing point guard here," Rautins explained. "He's gotta run a team. We want to run, but then you still have to run the offense so he's got to make decisions. Popovich is a tough guy, you've got to make the right decision for him. In light of the lockout, in light of no summer league, I think this is huge for him."
While Joseph will have to learn how to lead a team in the NBA, the biggest challenge for rookies often isn't the playbook, but the personnel they're playing with when they make it to the pros.
"J.J. Redick, he was a great college scorer, a great shooter," Rautins said. "I asked him, 'What was the biggest thing for you?' he said, 'Athleticism. Guys are so freakishly quick that you'd make a fake and you're open, but they recover.' The speed of the game is so dramatically different, I think you get here and then you see it and you go, 'Whoa'. Speed and strength. This league [the NBA] is the most athletic league in the world."
Joseph and the rest of the rookie class of 2011 might not know when they will get to play in their first NBA games, but in the meantime, there is work to be done. In his brief time with the national team, Spurs fans will be pleased to hear that Joseph has impressed.
"He comes out and his enthusiasm, he pushes the ball. That's one of the things we need. Cory is very good at that. His ability to push, defensively, he has a high motor. He gets in you and he'll keep playing all game. The fact that he's an energy guy and he talks, he's vocal. We don't have a lot of guys that are vocal, he's one of them.
"He just loves to play."
Hopefully he'll be playing on an NBA court sooner than later.

Not the sharpest picture, but this plant is wonderful right now! The red berries and yellow leaves are like this every year for about a week to ten days. This is Ilex 'Sparkleberry', taken today. |

That is beautiful. There must be a pollunator nearby. I had to find more information... so here's a link. EP |
Here is a link that might be useful: sparkleberry loves apollo
That is the best advertisement for that shrub that I have ever seen. It is going on my "list". Do the berries stay on long after the leaves drop? Thanks EP, I was wondering what to use as a pollinator. Now I don't have to search. |
I didn't realize how it sounds, but what I mean in my post is that the yellow leaves only last a week to ten days. The berries usually hang on till at least Jan/Feb. I have a shot on Christmas day last year with Sparkleberry in it I can show you. As for a pollinator, I do have an Apollo, right beside her. He is about 2' tall. I've had Sparkleberry since '98 and I really had to search a while to find a source for Apollo. I found a local nursery that had them(where I now work on Saturdays!) I bought one in spring and kept it in the container, forgot to water it and it died. That fall, Sparkleberry had no sparkle! Since I began working at that nursery I was exposed to other deciduous hollies. I now have four other females besides Sparkleberry: Bonfire, Red Sprite(dwarf), Winter Red and Sunset(not yet in the ground). They have Bonfire and Winter Red planted on the nursery property and both are outstanding in full fruit. I would have to say that in terms of fruit, Winter Red is perhaps the best. The fruit remain in great shape far longer than any other full sized holly. Bonfire and Sparkleberry both, perhaps becasue they are hybrids, ususally exhibit discoloration on their berries later in the season. This does not happen with WR, perhaps because it is not a hybrid, but a cultivar of verticillata only. Anyway the deciduous hollies are a wonderful group of plants! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Sparkleberry on Christmas day
those are very nice, alan. how much shade can they take? i don't have any locations with full sun available but have an area that gets about 4 hours of direct sunlight. |
Jeff, you might be able to grow one in your four hour window. I think overall they prefer full sun. As you can see in the Christmas pic, there is a large maple close to my Sparkleberry. It is on the east side of that, so it does get shade late in the day. I believe they are worth trying to squeeze in if at all possible. |

Does Sparkeberry foliage go to yellow as a norm? My Winter Reds' and Sunsets' foliage normally just goes black to brown in fall. |
Paula, for me, it has produced yellow foliage every year. The frosts do eventually turn the leaves black, but they always go through yellow to get there. How long have you had Sunset? I have seen a couple pics of fairly large ones and it looks like a more spreading plant than Winter Red. For some reason it is not sold very widely around here. |
It's a beautiful shrub. |
- Posted by paula_in_PA z6 SEPA ChesCo (My Page) on Thu, Dec 8, 05 at 19:06
GAAlan, I have 2 'Sunsets', planted 18 mos. ago. I haven't hed yellow foliage on either. Is your's due to a warmer climate perhaps? I got yellow foliage on a new 'Winter Red' planted this past spring, but I think it's possibly due to a stressed summer here. At any rate, you're lucky to have that yearly! |
