...Finding No Peach Heaven Jiha Moon's operatic paintings offer abstract journeys at high elevations, where a repertoire of billowing clouds, disorienting mist, blossoming trees, and elegant waterfalls are woven into deep pockets of sumptuous space. Small clusters of ripe peaches punctuate her scenes (in her hands this fruit is positively erotic), and pointing hands or laughing mouths make an occasional appearance. Like roadside markers, these elements give the viewer a reason to pause and get their bearings before continuing to follow the masterful brush strokes that coil and expand with elan. Working on rare handmade Hanji paper from her native Korea not only offers Moon a tremendous surface richness to expand upon (using improvisational techniques from the Surrealist play book), but also provides a traditional terra firma on which to build her utterly contemporary point of view. Her inclusive vision embraces Tang dynasty painting and collectable kitsch, Disney's classic animations and De Kooning's notion of the slipping glimpse. Coursing through most of the Moon's work, are thin lassoes of line, wrapping objects in playful bondage and forming trajectories of time and desire. While visiting the artist's studio in Atlanta this fall, she told me the story of Murungdowon, in which a fisherman follows the blossoming peach flowers along a creek until he finds himself at the entrance to a cave. Going further inside, he comes upon a utopia where there is no war and great happiness...

... buying all our food locally can be a challenge sometimes. My husband is Asian and he refuses to let go of some of the Asian food items he loves. For example, he has to have bok choy instead of green cabbage from right here. Rice is another issue for us. It has to be jasmine rice from a South East Asian country. He swears there is a difference. In my opinion, it all tastes the same….bland. List all of the components of two of your meals. Meal 1: For breakfast I had eggs, Conecuh sausage, peaches, and iced sweet tea. Meal 2: For lunch I had a ham sandwich with Sargento Colby- jack cheese, Lays brand sour cream and onion potato chips, and a Jell-O pudding cup. I had a bottle of Aquafina water to drink. A. Where did each component of your meal originate? List the country that each part of your meal came from. (i.e., Did that glass of red wine come from Australia? Is the cheese from France?)

Georgia is known as the “peach state”, but Alabama can give them a run for their money *wink*. My Red Diamond sweet tea came from Birmingham, Al. Birmingham is 75 miles north of Montgomery, just north of Clanton. My sausage came from Conecuh County, Al, which is an hour and a half south of Montgomery.

I’ll begin this “late-night-overthinking” session with a lighter topic: my future occupation.

...the kitchen. The hallway was incredibly short, and his journey ended just after it started. Garry Jefferson’s kitchen was incredibly clean compared to his office room, and he too a moment to enjoy this fact. He opened a cupboard, peered around its interior before his eyes settled on a can of peaches. Right hand snagging the can, and left opening a door to retrieve a can opener, he remembered the first time he had eaten peaches. It was also the most recent time he had eaten peaches, and the experience of the first and only can was spent with his grandmother. Mrs. Jefferson wasn’t, by any definition, a kindred spirit. Her wrinkled, spotted face constantly wore a sneer, looking disapprovingly at whoever spoke to her. Garry had only seen her smile twice; When he came to visit, and when her husband died. He couldn’t remember exactly why she had smiled during the latter event, the broken memories remaining were not able to form into anything cohesive. The one memory that could form into something complete was the “Peaches Memory”. Garry had even written down the whole event in his journal, and reread it now and then when he missed her. Struggling for a moment, attempting to recall it, the “Peaches Memory” began to play in his head like an old home movie. A short young boy stands in the kitchen next to Mrs. Jefferson, who sits in her rocker, knitting away. “Granny, can we have a treat?” The old woman’s face scowls for a moment in thought, trying to think of a treat for her grandson...

...words, a pigsty. Dirty clothes littered the floor like one of those ice cream sundaes Garry loved to get at the corner store, covered in sprinkles, chocolate sauce and a cherry on top. However, the Garry-Jefferson-bedroom-sundae was sprinkled with loose papers, splotched with ink and vandalized by a mad pen. He fought through the dunes of clothing, eventually reaching his bed, and tore the pillows off, searching underneath them for his journal. To his relief, he found it, tucked into the pillowcase of his second pillow. The journal was tattered and worn, the corners of the pages barely hanging on due to constant dog-earing of the pages. About halfway through the journal, he stopped leafing through the pages to find a title page labeled “Peaches”. Stopping for a moment to admire his art, he turned the page, and read quickly, down the point he had drawn his blank. That’s funny, he thought, it doesn’t even go like that. The memory began to play again in his head. -Running over to her side, he notices that she holds a can wrapping in yellow paper, and an opener is clutched in her left hand. She turns to him, and smiles widely- Garry snapped out of it again. The smile in the memory didn’t seem right, it appeared off. He fudged the memory slightly, the smile becoming more comforting, but seeming slightly false. -and smiles...

...antioxidants and full of vitamins. The first peaches were planted in Georgia during the eighteenth century and the industry has flourished ever since. This home grown fruit happens to be the best in all the country. There is no other like it. Other drupe fruit are taste great, yet none of them live up to the high standards of the Georgia peach. Down in Georgia, where I was born and raised, is where I was first introduced to the infamous Georgia peach. Peaches were grown nearly everywhere in Georgia; in fact, there were a few peach trees in my backyard. If there was not any trees nearby, you could easily buy them in stores or from a vendor on the side of one of the country roads. On hot summer days after my brother and I would play, a peach was always my snack of choice. I would hop off the swing set and jog down the sandy pathway until I came upon the tall, skinny round trunk of the tree. The peaches were a little further up than I could reach; therefore I would stretch on my tip toes and examine branch by branch until I saw the mother load of all peaches. I would feel through the bright luscious leaves until found just the right peach. When I would bite into its firm yet gentle flesh, sweet juices would drip down my face. The country summer breeze mixed with the sugary smell of peach juice created an aroma of pleasure. The peach with its reddish orange color and fuzzy ripe skin is the most succulent fruit to have ever existed. Peaches are used for a number of things. They are...

...The disadvantages are too plain in colors and also need more attractive models similar in my age. I though the company should use bright colors to catch my attention. Also, I think having a model similar in my age would have me purchase items from L.L Bean. The Coldwater Creek advantages are using bright and bold text and also having a simple webpage. I liked how the company has the bright and bold text that was easy for me to read. I also liked the simple layout for the webpage. It was very informative and precise on the Coldwater Creek product. The disadvantage was the use of peaches on the product page, also just showing the product now any models wearing the products. The use of peaches on the main page was a turn off for me because of the peaches. I hate peaches therefore, I would not buy any products from this company. The book has talked about giving us a negative feeling and seeing the peaches gave me a negative feeling. Thus, not having the desire to buy the Coldwater Creek merchandise. I also think not having attractive models on the page is a turn off for me to purchase the clothing. Question Two The L.L Bean Company and the Coldwater Creek Company both ties in with the same categorization. The companies both have basic level categories across the top of the page along with in the filter pane on the left hand side. The next level is the subordinate level that differs with both companies. The L.L Bean Company has a simple look. The Coldwater Creek Company has a...

...Strayer University Professor Page ECO100 Assignment 1 Alcohol abuse is a major problem in today’s society. With a down an economy, there are more and more people turning to alcohol while actually helping the local package store to thrive. Economist may see it differently. They may see it as a way; first they will “Use Assumptions to Simplify”. (O'Sullivan, A., Sheffrin, S. M., & Perez, S. J. (2012)) Why are these people drinking? Is it because they struggle and worry how they are going to pay their bills, or is they are stressed out. Next they must “Isolate Variables – Ceteris Paribus.” That is they must find out the relationship between two variables (O'Sullivan, A., Sheffrin, S. M., & Perez, S. J. (2012)) like the down economy and the loss of jobs, with the number of people abusing alcohol. The third element of economic way of thinking involves “Thinking at the Margin”. Economists have to think about slight changes in one variable to see the outcome of the decision. (O'Sullivan, A., Sheffrin, S. M., & Perez, S. J. (2012)) For instance, if the price of the alcohol tax was raised significantly would it lead to less people abusing alcohol, or will it lead to more crime and bootlegging back from yesteryear. Finally, economists need to think about the last element. “Rational People Respond to Incentives” Economist tends to think that most people act rationally and act in their own self-interest. (O'Sullivan, A., Sheffrin, S. M., & Perez, S. J. (2012)) There...
