The Dawn of Rock N' Roll: Chitlins and Gospel Roots
Posted in: General,Reviews by Mary McDonough on April 11, 2012
The Chitlin' Circuit. For those of you who have heard of the pre-civil rights movement music circuit it usually denotes second-rate acts. Musicians were relegated to the Chitlin' Circuit. But a 2005 interview between Preston Lauterbach, a freelance Memphis writer, and Sax Kuri, a former Chitlin' Circuit star, inspired Lauterbach to research the history of the Circuit. What he found was a rich, creative, dynamic arena for black musical acts that laid the foundation for rock music. Lauterbach's findings, published in a book called The Chitlin' Circuit and the Road to Rock N' Roll, carefully map out the intricate connections between the Circuit's performers, many of whom never received adequate recognition, and the birth of rock music.
The Chitlin' Circuit was named after chitterlings, cooked hog intestines, which are an ingredient in soul food. Originally emerging during the 1930s, the Circuit consisted of African-American music acts that toured throughout the Midwest and South playing in segregated nightclubs. Several famous artists emerged out of the Circuit such as Ike Turner, B.B. King, Little Richard, James Brown, and Ray Charles.
Lauterbach vividly describes the various performers, promoters, agents, and nightclub owners who were the lifeblood of the Circuit. He interviewed numerous Circuit artists and surviving relatives, and studied various media sources such as newspapers, scrapbooks, and even old city directories to tell a story of " the numbers racket, hair straighteners, multiple murders, human catastrophe, commercial sex, bootlegging, international scandal, female impersonation, and a real female who could screw a light bulb into herself—and turn it on" (11-12).
Before WWII, most of the Circuit consisted of large swing bands. In the post-war economy, however, the groups couldn't make as much money so they evolved into smaller acts showcasing the sax and strong vocals. Lauterbach argues that this was where rock n' roll was really born—in the late 1940s at these small, crowed, run down nightclubs where often there weren't even any indoor toilets. Early performers like Joe Turner, Wynonie Harris, Roy Brown, and T-Bone Walker became stepping stones to the rock n' roll sound of the 1950s.
Much has been written about the connection between black gospel music and rock. Lauterbach's book tells us personal stories detailing how certain elements of gospel influenced rock. One story involves Louisiana native Roy Brown. When he was a child he created a gospel quartet and wrote a song called "Satan's Chariots Rolling By." One Sunday he got into some liquor and then performed his song in church with a toe tapping beat and loud shouting chorus. Afterwards, his mother punished him for "jazzing up spirituals" (139). He quit singing until after his mother died but eventually formed a band in Texas and wrote "Good Rockin' Tonight" about a Galveston brothel. He sang it the same way he'd sung that song in church years earlier—loud and fast. It became a big hit on the Circuit (Wynonie Harris also covered the song in 1948). Brown wrote more of these fast-paced piano and sax-driven songs. Combining very loud vocals with the shout and response format and hand clapping commonly found in black churches, Brown "torched the blues with spiritual fire" (144).
In Lauterbach's book we also learn details about how rock icon Little Richard grew up in Macon, Georgia where he listened to local gospel singers, spent time with a faith healer, heard women sing spirituals with harmonies as they hung wash to dry, and sold Coca-Cola at an auditorium where his favorite performer was Sister Rosetta Tharpe. All these experiences helped him mesh the emotion and fervor found in the local gospel sound with secular lyrics (149-51).
Famed soul singer James Brown originally sang in a gospel group called the Gospel Starlighters. They eventually shifted to secular music but because they had little money and couldn't afford instruments, they used their feet to stomp out rhythms and their voices to hum instrumental sequences, something many black church congregants had been doing for decades (246). The band eventually changed their name to the Famous Flames, appropriate given their reputations for fiery, wild performances.
The Chitlin' Circuit: The Road to Rock n' Roll is full of many more stories about the people who built rock music. One of the most interesting claims the author makes is that black artists' contributions to rock n' roll have been "muddied" because:
Influential gatekeepers have tended to treat "rhythm and blues" as a genre-defining phrase rather than what is was, a marketing phrase, short hand for black popular music in whatever form happened to be selling. The standardized definitions of rock n' roll, courtesy of institutions such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Rolling Stone magazine, emphasize a fusion of black rhythm and blues and white country-western sounds, as if the two styles brought distinct elements to a new mixture. While that certainly applies to Bill Haley and Elvis Presley, some of the first rock n' roll stars as such, it implies a shared primacy that simply didn't exist at the true dawn of rock n' roll. While black music was clearly rockin' by 1949, country and western fans delighted to the sounds of yodels, waltzes, accordions, fiddles, and steel guitars—great stuff, but not the stuff of rock n' roll. (163)
Lauterbach's excellent book supports this claim while giving the Chitlin' Circuit the attention and accolades it deserves.

A British industrial success: productivity in the Lancashire and New England cotton spinning industries a century ago
This paper uses new product-specific, micro-level US data to show that New England had lower levels of productivity in cotton spinning than Lancashire, c. 1900, contradicting results derived by Broadberry from the Censuses of Production. The discrepancy stems from the Censuses' poor methods of aggregating heterogeneous yarn output. The finding that Britain – the labour-abundant country – has higher labour productivity contradicts the Rothbarth-Habakkuk model. We suggest Britain's industrial success stems from more intensive competition, manifested through external economies of scale and longer production runs. We finish with some speculative implications for British performance in the first and second industrial revolutions.

New York City To Restrict Use Of Prescription Painkillers In Emergency Rooms
New York City's 11 public hospitals will be restricting use of some of the most popular and strongest prescription painkillers available on the market in emergency rooms said Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. The city wants to make a bigger effort to crack down on the prescription drug use epidemic that has been increasingly becoming a problem. With the city's new policy in place patients in public hospitals will not be able to receive any more than a three day supply of narcotic painkillers such as Percocet and Vicodin. Painkillers with lasting affects like OxyContin which is a common painkiller for arthritis and backaches will not be distributed at all. In addition, any painkiller prescriptions that are stolen, destroyed or lost will not be replaced.
City officials say the goal of the policy is to reduce the rapidly growing dependence upon painkillers and preventing large amounts of narcotics from being stolen from medicine cabinets and pumped into the streets and abused by teens and other people who want to get their fix. Mr. Bloomberg recently stated that abuse of prescription painkillers has increased at an alarming rate when he announced the new policy at Elmhurst Hospital Center. More than 250,000 New Yorkers above 12 years of age abuse prescription painkillers which has resulted in rising hospital admissions for deaths and overdose. Doctors engaging in acts of Medicare fraud who falsify prescriptions and pharmacy robberies in neighborhoods have also risen, leading to more violent crime.
However, many critics argue that low income patients who are uninsured use emergency rooms as their main source of medical care regularly. Implying that the restrictions in the policy may have negative impacts on doctors in the public hospital sector whose goal is to help poor people get treatment by depriving them of the flexibility they need to properly respond to medical situations. "It prevents me from being a professional and using my judgment," said Dr. Alex Rosenau, president of the American College of Emergency Physicians and senior vice chairman of emergency medicine at Lehigh Valley Health Network.
Cancer patients who need prescription painkillers for cancer pain would be excluded from the policy according to city health officials and the drugs will still be available even when outside of the emergency room. Over 2,000,000 opioid painkiller prescriptions are written every year in New York City. Each year in the city painkillers have been involved in nearly 170 accidental deaths from overdose.

Richland Community College strives to provide educational opportunities to enable individuals to become contributing members of the workforce. The workplace has changed with new work hours and work patterns due to improved telecommnications and computer technologies. Sixty-five percent of new jobs will require post-secondary education and training below the baccalaureat level, and 75% of the current workforce needs training. The information supply available doubles every five years.
The mission of the career and technical education programs at Richland is to provide students the opportunities to choose, prepare for, and advance in their careers and vocations. This mission is accomplished by integrating technical education and academic education to provide the skills andeducation needed for living in a global society, competing in the workforce, and being receptive to lifelong learning.
A number of Richland's career and technical education programs are articulated with four-year institutions to allow for the completion of a four-year degree in an additional two years if desired. To meet the broad range of student objectives, Richland Community College offers several options for career and technical education students:
A basic certificate is an award for satisfactory completion of a series of courses totaling 30 semester credit hours or less. Those programs that have only a basic certificate are designed to provide the necessary skills to obtain an entry-level position. For programs that have a basic certificate as part of a degree, the certificate is an award for satisfactorily completing a series of courses.
An advanced certificate is awarded for satisfactory completion of a series of courses or curriculum totaling 50 semester credit hours or less. This certificate is designed to provide the technical skills that would prepare an individual for initial employment in the job setting or for those currently employed and in need of advanced study.
Many of the carreer and technical education programs are designed to serve students with no previous study or experience in the program area.
In order that students who have acquired knowledge in career and technical education program fields through high schools or whose work experience may benefit from that knowledge, the College recognizes such education through credit evaluation programs.
Students who wish to transfer credit earned at another accredited college or university must request a transcript from the college attended. The transcript should be sent directly from the college or university to the Admissions and Records Office at Richland. The student requesting a transfer of credit must pay any transcript fees.
Approved credit hours will be applied toward the total number of hours needed for the degree or certificate, provided the average grade for all such work is "C" or better.
Transfer credit will not be included in computing the student's grade point average at Richland. Approved credit hours will be recorded on the student's academic record at the request of the student.
If any student pursuing a career and technical education program option has a background that makes any listed course(s) inappropriate, two options are recommended:
All students enrolled in one of the certificate programs and part-time students in the AAS curriculum are encouraged to pursue their respective programs by taking general and related courses along with their special interest courses rather than taking all courses in the order listed. The appropriate prerequisite experiences should be completed prior to enrolling in a course having prerequisites.
Several programs require some study in courses that satisfy certain Group Requirements. Bold print indicates I.A.I. approved general education classes.

MAY 26, 2015 (OAKLAND,CA) — Oakland based pop-folk artist, Mikey Pauker, this week, releases his latest music video, 'SAGES'. Inspired by his interpretation of the story of creation and his own spiritual experience, Pauker brings together friends from the local Ecstatic Dance community in Oakland, California, to visually interpret his new single. Pauker explains, "The song calls out for humanity to be the sages, to teach, share, and be fully embodied." The dancers in the video are all part of what Pauker describes as a "medicine dance" which is the kind of deep prayer he experiences at Ecstatic Dance. "I go there, every week, no matter what I am feeling, and dance through it. And when I am done, I come to some kind of clarity." Pauker's video highlights the story of his own rebirth through community, dance, and connection with the Divine Mother. As he repeats in the song, "We cry out to Mama for her lovin." Click on the artwork to view the new music video! |

How to Grow Winter Squash
Winter squash is a frost-tender, warm-season annual. Winter squash is grown to maturity on the vine, until the skin is very hard (unlike summer squash which is harvested while the skin is still tender). Popular winter squashes include hubbard, butternut, acorn, delicious, banana, Turk's turban, cushaw, and spaghetti squash.
Sow winter squash seeds in the garden–or set out seedlings started indoors–only after the soil has warmed to at least 60°F, usually no sooner than 3 weeks after the last frost in spring. Winter squashes grow best in air temperatures ranging from 50° to 90°F; established fruit will ripen in temperatures as high as 100°F but flowers will drop in high temperatures. Winter squash require 60 to 110 days to reach harvest.
Description. Squashes are a large group within the cucumber family, Cucurbita, and include winter squashes, summer squashes and pumpkins. Winter squashes are eaten after they have matured and their skins have thickened and hardened. Some winter squashes grow fruit as long as 30 inches. Squashes have large, broad leaves; 4 to 6 stems or vines grow from a central root. Some winter squashes are sprawling; others are bush like. Fruits vary in shape from round, to oblong, to cylindrical to turban shaped. Separate male and female flowers appear on the same plant. Winter squashes have a distinct seed cavity unlike summer squashes.
Yield. Grow 1 or 2 summer squash plants per household member.
Site. Plant squash in full sun. Grow squash in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Prepare planting beds in advance working in plenty of aged compost. Add aged manure to planting beds the autumn before growing squash. Squash prefers a soil pH of 5.5 to 6.8. Winter squashes will sprawl and require ample space; if space is tight train them over small A-frame or up a trellis as tall as 5 to 8 feet.
Planting time. Winter squashes are frost-tender, warm-season annuals. Sow squash seeds in the garden–or set out seedlings started indoors–only after the soil has warmed to at least 60°F, usually no sooner than 3 weeks after the last frost in spring. Start squashes indoors as early as 4 weeks before the last average frost date in spring. Sow seed indoors in biodegradable peat or paper pots that can be set directly in the garden so as not to disturb or shock plant roots. Winter squashes grow best in air temperatures ranging from 50° to 90°F; established fruit will ripen in temperatures as high as 100°F but flowers will drop in high temperatures. Winter squashes require 60 to 110 days to reach harvest.
Planting and spacing. Sow squash seeds 2 to 3 inches deep. Sow squash in hills or inverted hills, 4 to 5 seeds set 3 to 4 inches apart; thin to the two strongest seedlings. Space hills 6 to 8 feet apart. In rows, plant 2 squash seed 10 inches apart in rows 3 to 5 feet apart; thin successful seedlings in rows to 3 feet apart. Thin seedlings by cutting off weak seedlings at soil level with scissors so as not to disturb fragile roots. Hills or mounds should be 6 to 12 inches tall and 20 inches across. This will allow plants to run down the hill and away from the main stem. Inverted hills–which are used to retain moisture in dry regions–can be made by removing an inch of soil from an area about 20 inches across, using the soil to form a ring or circle. Plant 4 or 5 seeds in each inverted hill. Winter squash can be caged or trained up a fence or trellis. Set supports in place at the time of planting.
Water and feeding. Squash grow best in soil that is kept evenly moist. Squashes require a lot of water in hot weather. Plants may wilt on hot days as they use water faster than the roots can supply. As long as water is regular and deeply applied, wilted plants will liven up as the day gets cooler. Squash that is wilted in the morning needs immediate water. Add aged compost to planting beds before planting and side dress squash with aged compost at midseason. Side dress squash with compost tea every 2 to 3 weeks during the growing season. Avoid feeding squash with a high nitrogen fertilizer, 5-10-10 is best.
Companion plants. Nasturtiums, bush peas, beans. Avoid planting summer squashes in the shadows of taller plants.
Care. Squash have separate male and female flowers. The first flowers to appear are male flowers which will not produce fruit. Female flowers appear slightly later and are pollinated by the male flowers commonly with the help of insects. If pollination is slow or does not occur, use a soft-bristled brush to dust inside a male flower then carefully dust the inside of a female flower (a female flower will have an immature fruit on its stem, a male won't).
Once fruits form set each one on a wooden plank so that it does not have direct contact with the soil; this will allow squashes to mature with less exposure to insects.
Container growing. Bush-type winter squash can be grown in containers but the season is long. Sow 2 or 3 seeds in the center of a 10-inch container; thin to the strongest seedlings once plants are 3 to 4 inches tall. Extend the growing season by planting early and moving pots indoors when frost threatens. Set a cage or trellis in place to save space.
Pests. Squash can be attacked by squash bugs, squash borers, and cucumber beetles. Hand pick or hose away beetles. A small hole in the stem or unexplained wilting may indicate the presence of borers. Slit the stem, remove the borers, and dispose of them. Cover the slit stem with soil to encourage root development from that point.
Squash borers or bacterial wilt can cause squash plants to suddenly wilt and die just as they begin to produce. Bacterial wilt can be spread to squash by cucumber beetles; handpick and destroy cucumber beetles.
Complete run down on squash pests and diseases: click here.
Diseases. Squashes are susceptible to bacterial wilt, mosaic virus, and mildew. Plant disease-resistant varieties. Keep the garden clean and free of debris where diseases and pests may harbor. Water at the base of plants to keep water off the foliage, and do not handle plants when they are wet to avoid the spread of fungal spores. Remove and destroy infected plants before they spread disease to healthy plants.
Powdery mildew, a fungus disease, will cause leaves to turn a gray-white color late in the season. Proper spacing and increased air circulation will help reduce this problem.
Mosaic virus can cause squash plants to become mottled yellow and stunted. Mosaic virus is spread by aphids. Control aphids and remove affected plants.
Blossom end rot will cause squash fruit to rot from the blossom end. Blossom end rot is caused by fluctuations in soil moisture. Water evenly and regularly and mulch around plants to conserve soil moisture.
Harvest. Winter squashes are ready for harvest 60 to 110 days from sowing when rinds are full color and firm (some acorn squash may be green and have semi-hard rinds). Winter squashes should be allowed to mature fully on the vine. If the rind cannot be dented with your thumbnail, it is ready for harvest. Complete the harvest before the first hard frost. Stems and vines will be hard and dry at harvest time. Cut squash from the vine leaving 2 to 3 inches of stem above the fruit; this will allow the squash to store longer. Use knife, pruning shears, or lopper to cut thick stems. Keep pruners clean so as not to spread disease to other plants.

Storing and preserving. Winter squashes require curing before storing. Cure squashes in the sun for a week or more or place them in a dark, humid place for 10 days at 80° to 85°F. After curing store winter squash at 50° to 60°F in a dry, dark place. Winter squash will keep for 5 to 6 months. Winter squash with a soft skin will likely rot in storage; these squash should be cooked right away. Do not wash squashes until you are ready to use them. Cooked squash can be frozen, canned, pickled or dried.

Translate your AdWords campaigns with Translator Toolkit
October 27th, 2009 | Published in Google Adwords
If you advertise to customers in multiple languages or countries, you've probably spent time translating your advertising campaigns. To help make translating faster and easier, today we've added AdWords campaign support to Google Translator Toolkit, which includes tools like translation search, bilingual dictionaries, and custom terminology databases.
To translate your keywords and ad text, upload an AdWords Editor Archive (AEA) file into Translator Toolkit, and Translator Toolkit will automatically translate them. You can then share your translations with your multilingual optimizers or professional translators, who can optimize and localize your campaign through Translator Toolkit's campaign editor.
When you're finished, download your campaign and upload back into AdWords Editor. You can also optimize your keywords and ad text further through AdWords Editor and other tools like AdWords Traffic Estimator.
Of course, reaching foreign-language customers requires more than campaign localization. To attract international customers, your landing pages should also be translated and, if applicable, your payment and other support systems should be ready for international customers. Check out our help pages for details on how to localize and optimize your campaigns. When you're ready, give Google Translator Toolkit a try and let us know what you think.

Who Will Win the Super Bowl in 2017?
I believe that there are a few teams who are in with a shot to win the Super Bowl, but I believe that only three of them may actually win the game that is quite a long time from now. This article explains why I believe the Carolina Panthers, Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will vie for the Super Bowl title this year. Each team has its own unique attributes, and I believe each one may contend quite well for a championship. #1: Green Bay Packers The Green Bay Packers are charged with a better offenseive featuring the recovered Jordy Nelson and Aaron Rodgers.Read More →

More than 700 workers at rail freight company DB Schenker are to be balloted for strike action in a row over jobs and working conditions, it was announced today.
The Rail Maritime and Transport union said it will urge its members to give a mandate for action after claiming there had been a breakdown in industrial relations.
General secretary Bob Crow said: "We have sought assurances from DB Schenker that there will be no compulsory redundancies, that it will lift the threat of regrading and stop the introduction of casualisation.
"On all counts the company has failed, but has instead proposed a pay freeze and possible pay cuts, as well as refusing to honour the existing pay award."
The union also announced that 250 of its members employed by Nexus on the Tyne and Wear Metro are to be balloted for strikes in a separate row over jobs and conditions.

Canning Tomatoes...and missing Gina!
36 comments:
Beautiful marinara! I usually try to can some tomatoes and make some sauce for the winter, but "back to school" snuck up on me this year and I didn't get it done. Hopefully I'll be able to use some late tomatoes to squeeze some sauce in this fall. Thanks for sharing Gina's recipe- I hope she decides to continue posting when she's able! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how we grow to love our blogger friends and when we hear any of them stop blogging, our heart sinks and we start to miss them. I am sorry Gina is getting ready to do that and I am sure you will miss her. Let's hope she will change her mind. The photos of the beach are awesome and your bottle of marinara sauce sure looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteCanning is something I havent done, your energy and time is amazing I so envy that.. I will probably retire when I am 75! Then maybe I will see the beach in Florida.. I cant believe its that pretty here! You just made me realize I need a vacation... I am 6 miles from the ocean and every time I am off it rains! gorgeous photo. Love the shrimp pasta I see the freshness you captured... sorry about your friend not posting what agreat supporter you are!
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth,
Happy Holiday weekend. You are such a sweet blogger friend as this post reveals. It's funny that I also thought about that. We have all our intentions as to why we blog, but sometimes those intentions or objections aren't met anymore. I feel sorry to hear that Gina will stop blogging... or maybe just for awhile don't you think?
Canning is something I haven't done yet but it's on the list of my Things to try... definitely!There will always be a first time right? hehe
I hope you are having a great weekend so far. Enjoy the rest of the days ahead!Hi Elisabeth,
I was too upset and still am, after reading Gina latest post. I hope she will come back soon. She's a wonderful friend and blogger.
I haven't made any canned tomatoes yet but i think I will since my grandma has plenty in her garden!
p.s. LOVE the new layout, and the beach photosI have never canned anything before but I am really wanting to learn the process and give it a try!!!! Gina will be so very missed by so very many and your post was just beautiful - the beach photos are so calming and serene!!!! Big hugs to you bella and wishing you a most delightful rest of this holiday weekend
ReplyDeleteI was sad to read Gina's post, too...I'm hoping she takes you up on your suggestion as I will miss her! I didn't know of your special bond, but it reminds me of how you befriended me on foodbuzz...Gina is a gem as are you.
Your marinara is beautiful! As is the new look of your blog...it suits you! Hope you're having a lovely Labor Day weekend~Hi Sweet Elizabeth,
You made me cry with this sweet post. I'm catching up on a huge backlog of work, but I like your idea of pacing myself and trying to post once a month for now. I love the changes you made over here and your beach photos, you know how much I love the beach. Hope you get some rest too and that your arm is healing more and more each day.
-Gina-Gina was one of the first bloggers I met when I started blogging as well and will always hold a special place in my heart! I will miss her too, but I'm hoping she will check in with us once in a while.
Love the idea of canning the marinara... we make it and freeze it, but I'm really intrigued with this one.
Thanks Elisabeth!oh what lovely pictures u have posted...love the beauty of the palm beach...wish u a happy labor day..
the marinara sauce looks so yummy and love the picture with the prawns...
The happiness that we get when we make something like this from scratch is beyond words.
Yesterday I tried to recreate Maggi chilly garlic sauce and it was almost similar to it IN TASTE except that mine was more deep in color.
Was happy to make my own sauce, and never will I buy ready made sauce for sure..
Hope ur shoulder is feeling much better now??
I have still not tried the recipes from the book because I am fasting.
Suhaina.Seems like a time for change Elisabeth! You've changed your format (love the clouds by the way) and I've moved blogs entirely.
I hope your friend still updates her blog - it's so sunny and pretty :)
Lovely sauce also - I make marinara sauce often, there's nothing quite like it is there?
(formerly Sunflower Days)Hi Elisabeth! I just discovered that Gina's leaving and felt my heart dropped. I believe she was my second blogger friend. Everything happens for a reason, and they are always good reasons am sure. It's not a goodbye.. :D I can't wait to can my first tomatoes. Have a great week!! Hugs, Jo
ReplyDeleteAlso sad to see Gina have to take a break and hoping it's not permanent! This sauce looks so good! I also love homemade sauce, but only make it myself once in a while. I especially like to make amatriciana sauce from scratch. My go-to jarred sauce is Rao's...to me, it's most like homemade. Have a lovely Labor Day, my friend...
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth! Being without electricity for 4 days due to Irene, I was down and out for a while. I'm slowly making my way back and am glad to stop by today to see this post. I haven't stopped by Gina's blog yet, but sorry to hear that. Posting once a month was a great suggestion and I've seen bloggers do that, so we do what we can! I love your fresh sauce and the shrimp addition is one of my favorite. I think shrimp gives a nice flavor to a marina. I also loved when I clicked on "read more" that those beautiful seagull photos popped up - a visual treat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful friendship post, Elisabeth! I read Gina's post before and felt really sad. Food blogging takes a long time since we are not just writing about something, we have to cook and take pictures and all that. I hope she'll continue to blog once in a while too. By the way, I LOVE your new background on your blog! Every time I come here I will feel like I'm on a vacation and reading (your blog) on a beach... =)
ReplyDeleteDo you have any suggestions on how to store the jars for the winter? My husband and I have only been organic farming and baking for 3 years and this was my first summer freezing tomato sauce for the winter. My sauce came out so delicious that I want to can next year's harvest but I've been told storage is very important. Your advice on temperature or length of storage would be a helpful?

Lot 63: 1957 Jailhouse Rock One Sheet Movie Poster - Starring Elvis Presley
The Auction at Graceland - October 29, 2016
by The Auction at Graceland
October 29, 2016
Memphis, TN, USA
Live AuctionDescription:
Co-stars Judy Tyler, Mickey Shaughnessy, Dean Jones and Jennifer Holden help Elvis through Richard Thorpe's direction of this tale of Vince Everett, a young man jailed for manslaughter who is taught to embrace the musical gift that becomes his redemption, leads to great success and ultimately almost becomes his downfall. The movie catches Elvis in his prime, in full ascension to super-stardom as both actor and musical performer, and the offered U.S. one-sheet embodies that spirit. No serious collection of Elvis movie artifacts is complete without an example of the most iconic poster from his most iconic film, and this poster fits the bill. A beautiful specimen. The poster measures 41 by 27 inches (104.14 x 68.58 cm). Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Graceland Authenticated.
Condition Report: The linen-backed poster has benefited from moderate to heavy professional restoration, including color fills and paper loss repairs, mainly along the original factory folds. Apparent Excellent to Mint condition.

PROVIDENCE � In recent filings with federal regulators, Deepwater Wind has followed through on a promise to bury transmission lines that would run through Narragansett as part of a plan to connect its proposed offshore wind farm near Block Island to the regional power grid.
The Providence company filed an amended plan with the Army Corps of Engineers on May 31 that calls for burying new power lines in Narragansett, rather than running them overhead on poles. The Army Corps is the lead permitting agency for the transmission project.
The move came after residents and local officials had raised concerns about the visual impact of stringing additional overhead lines along a 0.8-mile route from the Town Beach to a new switchyard off Mumford Road.
The amendment marks a return to the original plan presented to the public in 2011. The company made the initial change to overhead lines because it was less costly and more straightforward than digging up roads to bury lines, according to Deepwater CEO Jeffrey Grybowski.
But in early May, in the face of growing opposition to the company�s plans in Narragansett, Grybowski said Deepwater would go back to the original proposal for putting the lines underground.
His announcement followed a vote by the Narragansett Town Council to suspend talks with Deepwater for a month so that its members could have time to learn more about the company�s plan to install five wind turbines in waters about three miles southeast of Block Island and run a 22-mile transmission cable underwater to Narragansett.
The month-long break ended this week and the council voted on Monday to hold a public work session with Deepwater on June 26.
The transmission cable is an integral part of Deepwater�s project. On most days, the 30-megawatt wind farm would produce more power than Block Island requires. The excess electricity would be sent via the cable to the New England power grid. And, when the wind isn�t blowing, the cable would send power back the other way, from the mainland to Block Island.
The cable would come ashore at the Narragansett Town Beach parking lot and then run east along Narragansett Avenue and Kingstown Road and through Sprague Park to the switching station.

Rainy day in downtown Mahon.
Hi - Ian again. A quiet day in Mahon. Started with a trip around the harbour on a typical glass bottom boat. The highlight was a visit to Isle de Rei in the middle of the harbour. Learnt a lot about the history of Menorca and all the visitors / occupiers over the last 300 years - well worth a visit if you are ever on Menorca. The harbour ...
Chilling in Mahon
... to a beautiful mansion on the seafront with truely great views. As well as a great lunch Peter was well read in the history of Mahon harbour.
We have been dropped back to our lovely dry boat, but still too hot to stay onboard during the day so now in a bar preparing for some tourism tomorrow.
Signing off john.
Ley day
Active day on the boat today although sailing miles much reduced - John cleaned and dried a pretty wet boat after yesterday's sail. Hard work aside we had time for a pleasant breakfast, lunch and now having lamb/sea bass for supper. Mahon an interesting town - quieter today as now entering the low season - maybe the marina prices will drop. Walked up into the old town before food looking at the sights! but now back on the waterside for food. Tomorrow may be even less active.
Arrived in the capital
... in Mahon a little bit wet but in time for a good late lunch of Dorada. Found a good mooring in marina Mahon - pretty much in the centre of all action. Remnants of a classic boat racing event - good to see some excellent designs. Monday a bit if boat servicing and r& r ready for some more action. ...
Left ciutadella
... instructions to me. John did the tricky anchoring bit at the end. Paddled into town for supper Weather forecast tomorrow more of the same so should be fine sailing. Enjoying ourselves.
P.s. ian is a blind bugger, so I have had to edit this, or no one would understand it, ( dont worry he cant read this)
On a serious note it is very fine that we are back sailing together ...

Our small double room with bathroom. Shower with hot and cold water. Fan, cost 500 inr per night (our nabo had a bigger room but not so much daylight for 450inr).
They only have 4 rooms. One ac for 1000 inr. The fan room we have in the front and the ac room would be the best once to pick .

This is day two at Varanasi and I am quite mortified at the living conditions here in Varanasi. Last night as I walked home (Clare was too tired so I went out for a walk on my own after dinner. Wasn't a good idea as it turned out because I had the room key in my pocket and Clare could not get in to the Air Conditioning and lie down - Not a happy camper) anyway, as I walked home I noticed a bit of a shady character following me.

Sky Blues axe nine
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Pegguy Arphexad, Dean Gordon (pictured), Onandi Lowe, Barry Quinn and Gavin Ward will not have their contracts renewed by The Sky Blues while Michael Briscoe, Ruaidhri Higgins, Avun Jephcott and Hussain Yazdani will not receive new deals once their contracts expire next month.
Reid, meanwhile, is in contract talks with striker Julian Joachim and defender Richard Shaw while the club are waiting to see if former loanees Stephen Warnock and Bjarni Gudjonsson will come available for next season.
Both players spent time on loan with Coventry this past season and assistant manager Adrian Heath admitted it is up to the pair to decide their futures.
"Stephen is in the process of talking to (parent club) Liverpool," Heath told the club's official website.
"He has been offered something by them and I think he is looking to confirm that to get a better idea of what they can give him.
"If he doesn't agree terms with them I don't know whether we could afford him and I don't suppose he knows where he would be just yet until he knows which other clubs are available.
"Bjarni has gone back to Germany to try and sort something out with Bochum regarding his contract, which would then maybe allow him to leave on a free."

Hi, I had just recently purchased a CH 701 with Pegastol wings. The aircraft requires some TLC and a new powerplant so I haven't had a chance to fly it. For what I've read they seem to be a pretty…Continue

thanks frank ive been flying trikes and im wanting a 701 with 100 horse power but also set up for as slow flying as possible.
Hi Frank, have a good friend would like to contact you re the floats for sale. Raymond Zimbabwe
Hi Frank. Just love the Pegastol wings. My slats seem to pop in and out at around 70 knots indicated. The fuel tanks are still giving me some grief with on going leak problems. Would love to rebuild those plastic tanks in aluminium and put an extra drain at the rear of the tank to capture some unusable fuel.
My unusable is also around 5 litres although I can get that down to around 3 litres with some nose down trim!! I have a 15 litre header tank behind the fire wall with a sight glass to keep an eye on things.
Safe flying
Hi Frank
Nice to hear from you, Let me know when you get back and I will fly over for a visit.

Reply to: | unknow name by bob |
"Cuán," and the related name "Conán," are derived from the word 'cú' meaning 'hound,' with the diminutive '-án' suffix added.Now I have never seen an existing feminine form of either "Cuán" or "Conán," but traditionally '-án' suffixed names are changed into '-nait' suffixes.
This would most likely be rendered "Conait" (dropping the second 'n').
A "Cúnait" form might be possible, but it seems awkward.Again, I should stress, I've never seen this as a name in use, but it is essentially akin to the morphology of "Aodhnait" or "Damhnait."

PHILADELPHIA — Joe Frazier, the son of a South
Carolina sharecropper who punched meat in a Philadelphia slaughterhouse
before Rocky, won Olympic gold, and beat an undefeated Muhammad Ali to
become one of the all-time heavyweight greats, died on Monday, his
family said in a statement. He was 67.
whose liver cancer was diagnosed about a month ago, spent his last days
living under hospice care in a Center City apartment.
known as "Smokin' Joe," was small for a heavyweight, just under 6 feet
tall, but compensated with a relentless attack in the ring, bobbing and
weaving as if his upper body were on a tightly coiled spring, constantly
moving forward, and throwing more punches than most heavyweights.
kind of motorized Marciano" is how Time magazine described his style in
a 1971 cover story before Frazier's $5 million fight with Muhammad Ali,
the first of their three epic battles and the most lucrative boxing
match ever at the time.
Fans could watch Frazier fight for minutes at a time and not see him take one step back.
were fights when he didn't step backward. He took very few backward
steps in his career," recalled Larry Merchant, the HBO boxing analyst,
who was a Philadelphia newspaperman during Frazier's early years. "What
made him good was not so much his punching power as his willingness to
keep coming and walking through the fire, his toughness and grit — and
willingness to train so he could take the kind of punishment a fighter
take in order to get to his opponent."
signature weapon was a destructive left hook, which he used to win his
first title in 1968 and floor Ali in their first meeting in 1971. He
developed his powerful left as a young child, growing up without
electricity or plumbing in rural Beaufort, S.C. His father had lost his
left arm in a shooting over a mistress, and young Joe became his
father's left arm.
"When I was a boy, I used to
pull a big cross saw with my dad. He'd use his right hand, so I'd have
to use my left," Frazier once said. After watching boxing on TV with his
father, he filled a burlap sack with a brick, rags, corncobs, and moss,
then hung it from a tree.
"For the next six,
seven years damn near every day I'd hit that heavy bag for an hour at a
time," he wrote in his 1996 autobiography.
At age
15, Frazier moved north to New York and then Philadelphia, where he
found work at Cross Bros. Meat Packing Co. in Kensington. He began
training in a Police Athletic League gym, won three national Golden
Gloves titles, and then a gold medal at the 1964 Olympics in Tokyo.
won the world heavyweight title in a series of elimination bouts from
1968 to 1970 while Ali was banned from boxing, but the accomplishment
wasn't complete. Ali had been stripped of his title in 1967 for refusing
induction into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and remained the
true champion to many fans during his exile from boxing.
was labeled the "official" champion. He lobbied privately for Ali's
return to boxing and even loaned him money. But as a match between the
two became inevitable, he found himself in a mean-spirited psychological
battle with the media-savvy Ali, who goaded him, calling him an "Uncle
Tom" and a "gorilla." Frazier, who preferred to speak through his
actions, called Ali a draft dodger and referred to him by his original
name, Cassius Clay.
The two came to represent the wider rifts in the nation during a turbulent era.
was a champion — and Ali was a hero," Merchant recalled. "Joe was an
ordinary guy, and Ali was an exceptional guy. … People lined up on
both sides."
Frazier's 1971 win over Ali at Madison Square Garden was his crowning achievement.
said if I whipped him that night, he would get on his knees, crawl
across the ring, and say: 'You are the greatest,' " Frazier said. "But
he didn't do that. I think he was trying to get to the hospital."
lost his world title in 1973 to George Foreman and never won it back.
He lost twice after that to Ali, the last in the brutal "Thrilla in
Manila" in 1975. Frazier ended his career with 32 wins, 27 by knockout,
four losses, and one draw.
No 'little-boy life'
was born on Jan. 12, 1944, one of 13 children of Rubin and Molly
Frazier. In a 1974 interview with The Inquirer he said: "One day I was
talking to a reporter, and it dawned on me I didn't know what number I
was, 13 or 12, so I got on the phone with my momma and asked her. I
think I'm number 12. Thirteen, he died."
Frazier was a sharecropper in the segregated South who made money on the
side as a bootlegger. Joe was put to work chopping wood, picking
cotton, and holding tools for his father as a 7-year-old, often starting
his days at 4 a.m. "I never had a little-boy life," he would say.
had put boxing aside by the time he arrived in Philadelphia. Feeling
overweight, he entered the PAL gym at 22d Street and Columbia Avenue and
began drawing attention as a boxer. Under trainer Yancey "Yank" Durham,
a former sparring partner to Joe Louis, Frazier won 37 of 40 amateur
fights by knockout.
"Go out there and make smoke come from those gloves," Durham used to say, inspiring the nickname "Smokin' Joe."
lost to Buster Mathis in the 1964 Olympic trials, but when Mathis
injured a knuckle, Frazier took his place on the team. He won his first
three bouts in Tokyo by knockout, breaking his thumb in the semifinal.
Inspired at how his father had managed without a left arm, Frazier
outpointed Germany's Hans Huber with a painful broken thumb to win the
gold medal.
had married Florence Smith in Beaufort when he was 17 and she was 15.
The family, with three young children, struggled when he returned from
the Olympics to Philadelphia.
A newspaper story
explaining their plight prompted civic leaders to give the family money
and toys for Christmas, and that eventually led to an unusual business
The Rev. William H. Gray of Bright
Hope Baptist Church, who had given Frazier odd jobs at the church,
introduced the boxer to F. Bruce Baldwin, president of Abbotts Dairies.
Baldwin assembled a group of local leaders to invest in Frazier. The
company, called Cloverlay, sold 80 shares at $250 apiece. Frazier would
receive $100 a week as a draw against his boxing earnings, which would
be 50 percent of his purses; his training expenses would be paid from
Cloverlay's cut.
Frazier told The Inquirer in 1966
that he consulted with his wife and decided to sign the deal "because
we think it is a swell thing."
The syndicate
bought a three-story building on North Broad Street, a former bowling
alley and ballroom, and made it Frazier's gym.
don't think most people at the beginning thought that Joe was
championship material necessarily, but they did know he was a
crowd-pleasing fighter," said boxing analyst Merchant, who said he
bought one share for something to write about.
was like buying shares in Microsoft. … I paid $250 and sold for about
$2,000," he said. Due to stock splits, an original $250 investment
eventually would be worth more than $14,000. Cloverlay grew to nearly
1,000 shareholders.
had his first tough professional test against Oscar Bonavena in 1966.
Frazier was 11-0 with 11 knockouts, but the tough Argentine knocked him
down twice in Round 2. But Frazier survived and won a split decision. In
1967, he knocked out Tony Doyle in the first boxing event at the
Spectrum in Philadelphia.
After Ali was suspended
from the sport, Frazier fought Mathis in 1968 for what the New York
State Athletic Commission called the world heavyweight championship.
Mathis — in the first boxing event at the new Madison Square Garden —
poked and danced to win first the half of the fight, as he'd outpointed
Frazier when they were amateurs. But Frazier was unrelenting. In Round
11 he floored Mathis with a left hook, and the referee stopped the
fight. Five fights later, in 1970, Frazier stopped Jimmy Ellis to become
official world heavyweight champion.
But Ali loomed.
got in more than my head. He got in my mind, my heart, my body,"
Frazier said of Ali in a documentary. "I'd go to bed at night, and I
could see him — and we'd fight. … I used to wake up the next morning,
wet with sweat."
That first Ali-Frazier bout was
like worlds colliding. Never before had two undefeated heavyweight
champions met. An estimated 300 million people worldwide watched. Ali
dominated early rounds, but Frazier wobbled him with a hard left hook in
Round 11 and knocked him down with one in Round 15, winning a unanimous
Their rematch was less eventful, but in
their third meeting, in Manila, neither man gave ground. They beat each
other devastatingly. Frazier lost when he could not answer the bell for
Round 15, but it was Ali who spent the night in the hospital.
for decades resented the way the public embraced Ali and held a grudge
for decades over how Ali vilified him in the run-up to their first
At the 30th anniversary of their first
fight, with Ali's health fading, the men hugged and made up. In a 2006
interview with The Inquirer, Frazier said: "I forgive him, and it's up
to the Lord now to do the rest of it. If I've done something wrong to
you or said something wrong, I'm sorry. I hope he accepts that."
had 11 children by at least four women. With Florence, he had daughters
Jacqueline, Weatta, Jo-Netta, and Natasha, as well as his oldest, son
Marvis, who went 19-2 fighting as a heavyweight. Marvis is a preacher
who helped run the Frazier gym. Frazier and Florence divorced in 1985.
had daughter Renae and son Hector with another woman during his
marriage. His other children are Joseph Rubin, Joseph Jordan, Brandon,
and Derek.
After his boxing career, Frazier kept
busy making guest appearances but was unable to capitalize on his name
the way Ali and Foreman did. He took over the Frazier gym and became a
coach and mentor to young boxers. Speaking to children about
determination, he would say:
"Lots of times when
I've done 41/2 miles and don't want to go that other half, I say to
myself: 'Nobody would know but me.' But brother, that's the last guy I
want to fool!"
