For years, I have gone into libraries and bookstores without a thought of how the thousands upon thousands of books got on their shelves. They were just there ready and waiting for me to come in to check them out or purchase them. They just grew there didn't they? Much like the groceries in the super market. Let me tell you what I have found out since my novel Night of the Cossack was released. When I began writing this book, I was writing it for my heirs and me. I did not think about it being a novel or being published. It was just a story of my grandfather. I was sort of, no not sort of—I was creating a grandfather I never had. I had gotten into genealogy since most of my ancestors were gone. I knew very little about either grandfather since both died before I was born. There was always a gap in my life and I wanted it filled. I took what little information I had about my mother's father and started researching. What I found was fascinating and I was pulled into the world of Russian history and Cossack soldiers.
Somewhere along the way, I felt that what I was writing might be worth reading. I went online in search of someone who could give me an opinion. I found Michelle Buckman, Rachel's Contrition and others, and asked her to give me her opinion. She thought it was worth pursuing and I joined a local critique group. In the back of my mind was a question—do I want to be involved with pursuing a publisher? I pushed the question away and kept writing. When I was nearly finished, Dennis and Polly Vance asked me to help them with a website for a publishing company they were starting. Somewhere in the process, they discovered my website and read the first chapter I had posted to see if I would get any nibbles. They wanted to read my manuscript and then asked me if they could publish it. On April 6, 2011, Night of the Cossack was released. From that date, I was in constant contact with Dennis and Polly. I saw firsthand how difficult it is for an independent publisher to gain the acceptance of distributors, bookstores, and even writing groups. I can tell you it is as difficult as a writer getting her manuscript in front of an editor and accepted. Even when they were successful with some bookstores, they wanted them on consignment and some did not pay for the books they sold. What a welcome to the world of publishing.
Dennis and I had talked about my platform and I assured him I had one. I really thought I did. I knew many people, I had been doing business on the internet since 1998, I was on Facebook, I had been in business in the area for twenty-two years, and I had been doing public speaking for nearly forty years. Then the reality set in—I had done business on the internet as Grampa Tom, no one knew my real name; I sold my business in 1995, could it have been that long ago?, and all of the names and files went to the new owner; and who were all those people who heard me speak and where were they? I sold about 150 copies to my friends and family and came to the edge of my platform.
I had a platform all right—a very weak and shallow one. For the last eleven months, I have been sawing, hammering, and building my platform. It has been interesting to say the least. One thing in my favor is the fact that I had been in marketing for nearly forty years so I knew a lot about networking. I got on Twitter, Linkedin, Goodreads and other sites, set up a blog, created a business page on Facebook, been interviewed on several blogs, wrote several blog articles, redesigned my website, had a book trailer developed and did a book launch. In addition, I have asked everybody who has read my book to write a book review on Amazon. We finally got a sale, one, on Amazon in October, but they have been climbing since. We have averaged in the low teens, but this month, March, it appears we are moving to another level. I am always doing research and one of the questions I recently googled was-- average of new author book sales.
Here is one result:
From http://www.philcooke.com/book_publishing via mt's shared posts: Here's the reality of the book industry: in 2004, 950,000 titles out of the 1.2 million tracked by Nielsen Bookscan sold fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. Only 25,000 sold more than 5,000 copies. The average book in America sells about 500 copies" (Publishers Weekly, July 17, 2006). And average sales have since fallen much more. According to BookScan, which tracks most bookstore, online, and other retail sales of books, only 299 million books were sold in 2008 in the U.S. in all adult nonfiction categories combined. The average U.S. book is now selling less than 250 copies per year and less than 3,000 copies over its lifetime.
YIKES! That's 79% of 1.2 million books that were tracked, less than 99 copies. 17% or 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. This is 96% of 1.2 million books. My novel is in the second group. Maybe that should make me feel good, but not really. It's the last sentence that really grabbed me. Okay, we have exceeded the low end, but what if I had had a solid platform built before my book was released. I would be between three and four hundred by October and climbing higher in the last six months of the first year. Maybe we could have made it into the third level—over a thousand copies sold. Well, as the old saying goes, "there's no sense in crying over spilled milk." Here is the thing—it does not matter whether you are published by the largest house or you are self-published. You have to have a platform. I've read that agents will not even talk to a writer who has fewer than 1,000 Facebook friends. It seems to have evolved to who pays for publishing the book—you or the publisher, but the marketing is done by the author. Yes, you have the advantage of the publishing houses distributor, but when was the last time you went to the library or bookstore and just looked over all the shelves for just a book? Didn't you look for a book by an author you heard about, read about or read before? Most likely the latter.
The other thing is this—the bookstore has nothing to lose. They can send back the books that do not sell. Have you noticed the displays in Barnes & Noble are the releases of the best know authors? Just because your book is on the stores shelf does not mean it is going to sell. One thing I keep hearing from writers and authors is, "what is a platform and how do I build one?" I think I have some answers now and I have put together a one day workshop (six hours) on building a platform. I am charging a modest $25 per registrant to pull from me everything I've learned about book marketing in the last year. It truly is a modest fee as I've spent hours researching, reading and applying strategies. Some ideas are my own that I've tried and know they work. One of the things I am offering those who attend my workshop is an ongoing communication of new things I find helpful.
The minimum charge for the workshop is $125 plus expenses, so there needs to be at least five people in attendance. If there are twenty paid registrants signed up, I waive the expenses.

SOUTH BERWICK — His own loss on the mat took an edge off his personal enjoyment but Josh Smith still appreciated that he had been part of something special.
SOUTH BERWICK — His own loss on the mat took an edge off his personal enjoyment but Josh Smith still appreciated that he had been part of something special.
"I was pretty excited," Smith said. "I was definitely ready."
The York High School wrestler, who will be entering his junior year, was on the Maine team that beat a Nebraska all-star team, 53-6, at Marshwood High School on Tuesday night. It was the first win at home for Maine in the 30-year history of Maine-Nebraska Friendship Series, a cultural exchange program for high school wrestlers.
Smith, the Class B champ at 145 pounds last season, was unaware of the historical significance of the Maine win until being told about it after the wrestling had finished.
Each year one state sends an all-star group to the other state which hosts a series of dual meets.
This year, after the program took a one-year hiatus, it was Nebraska's turn to come to Maine.
Over the previous 29 exchanges, Maine had won a few meets in Nebraska but had never won on home soil. Typically the visiting state fields the strongest team because it brings only 15 wrestlers while the home state fields a different team for each dual meet.
Nebraska had already won three previous dual meets in Skowhegan, Dover-Foxcroft and Ellsworth.
But the Cornhuskers were well aware that the contingent put together by Marshwood head coach Matt Rix for the final dual meet of the 2014 exchange would be its toughest test.
That it was. Maine lost just two matches.
Ten of the 15 Maine wrestlers assembled by Rix were state champions, with a total of 18 state titles to their credit, including two-time Class B champs Colin Sevigney and Michael Curtis of Wells.
Also on the impressive roster were Marshwood's three-time champions Cody Hughes and Jackson Howarth and two-time champs Brett Gerry (Marshwood) and Tyler Everett (Massabesic).
"My mom got an email from Matt Rix, asking kids if they wanted to participate," Smith said. "Over the years I've known Matt for awhile."
While almost all of the matches went the full four-and-a-half minutes (the periods were 90 seconds long instead of the normal two-minute time), Maine won the first 12 before Nebraska's impressive heavyweight Andrew Stowe was able to beat Jordan Drain of Massabesic, 11-0.
One of the closer Nebraska losses came when Sevigney, a 2014 graduate, beat Alec Foltz, a long, wiry junior with an unorthodox style described by one of his Nebraska teammates as "bringing the funk."
Foltz was the wrestler Smith faced in his match in one of the final matches of the night.
By that time much of the energy had already left the humid gym. Foltz won the match, 4-1, keyed by a late takedown in the first period to give the Nebraska wrestler a 2-0 lead.
"I expected him to be a little different and to take more shots and stuff and he was kind of more defensive I guess you could say," Smith said of Foltz.
Smith said the loss is something he'll learn from and that it could pay dividends during the regular high school season.
"I just have to get more motivated before matches and not get so psyched out and stuff and pretty much take my time," Smith said. "I kind of rushed it."
Smith was also wrestling with a heavily bandaged right hand, the result of torn ligaments in his right ring finger.
"It's hard to get a grasp with it all taped up," Smith said.
Smith had injured the finger while working out at Smitty's Wrestling Barn in Danville, N.H. He travels to the respected training facility on Mondays during the summer and usually comes to Marshwood for Wednesday night workouts as well.
Even with the regular training routine and frequent fitness workouts, Smith said there is a difference when wrestling in the summer.
"You're kind of in vacation mode and you've got to get ready to get back into wrestling again," Smith said.

For quite a while after moving in two years ago, our dining room walls were devoid of any décor. Because they're made of cement, painting or drilling into them required a certain amount of finality—any change introduced to these walls would have to be tolerated for at least two to three years. So I really took my time poring into my design books, shelter magazines, Pinterest, tumblr, and design-related IG accounts to gather ideas for shelving.
I knew I needed storage. At first, I mulled about buying a country-style china cabinet I had seen in Papemelroti—it was made of unpolished, unstained tanguile wood, with curvilinear brackets and wrought iron cabinet pulls. I didn't want to use dark wood for cabinetry, so I thought of just having it painted a creamy white to match my kitchen cabinets. It cost only P13,000—a small amount, compared to other china cabinets I had seen in stores—but still an amount that needed me to think seriously about purchasing it.
Then I saw this photo on Pinterest:
It appealed to me because I love the idea of a coffee station—everything you need to brew yourself a cup of joe in one place. It would make things easier for my husband, our resident barista, who often finds himself brewing coffee for both of us while half-asleep early in the morning.
But then, this would entail having the whole cabinet system custom-made. And while we already have a supplier for custom recycled-wood-and-wrought-iron furniture (another blog entry on that one in the future), I am too impatient to have to go through the whole process of discussing the design, and waiting for weeks to have it made and delivered.
Good thing I also saw this other photo. I've always loved the look of wooden crates, and I see it often used in American shelter magazines and books, particularly for country-style design. No matter how modern I'd like to think my design aesthetic is, at some point, there will always be that country-style girl somewhere in me (something I inherited from my mom!). Now these crates-turned-shelves appealed to my shabby-chic sensibilities, and I figured, it'd be a great way to display some of my china or glassware.
I pitched the idea to my husband, who liked the idea of a wine bar. But since the wall I had in mind is currently being used as our coffee station, we figured the shelves would have to be both a wine and coffee bar—we'll have a wine-glass rack on one side, and a coffee-mug rack on the other.
Now before we continue, a disclaimer: I didn't exactly create these shelves all by myself (which partially nullifies my calling this a DIY project), but hear me out.
While I would love to completely embrace the DIY mindset, cultural factors in our country keep me from doing so. Am I just making up some excuse for being too lazy to hang my own shelves or paint a wall in my bedroom? Maybe. But after many years of watching DIY shows on lifestyle channels, I've come to realize that it's much easier to DIY anything in the US, for example, mainly because of the availability of ready-to-install materials. Plus, it's much easier to hire a carpenter or handyman to do the dirty work for you. You can count yourself especially lucky if you've got a family handyman/carpenter/plumber/electrician you can trust with those custom-made projects.
That said, DIY-ing (as a term used loosely) is immensely fulfilling, particularly for a home decorator like myself. I've often complained to my husband about not knowing how to use our handy electric drill, and while I would really love to practice on our walls, he would sometimes make me rethink my plans by saying, "Paano kung tabingi? Paano kung masira yung dingding?" But time and again, I would find myself looking at a blank wall and imagining the floating shelves I could put up there, of picture frames and artworks that could populate the stairwell wall, of the cabinet system I have long been wanting to build in our laundry area. If only I knew how to use the tools and equipment at home—just imagine all the possibilities! No need to schedule with Jhay (yes, Jhay, with the ubiquitous h), our ever-so-busy, go-to carpenter. No need to pay for labor. Just roll up your sleeves, open the tool box, and build away.
Now even if I didn't completely DIY these shelves (I'm sorry it's been taking so long to discuss these shelves!)—I had Jhay's help in actually drilling the materials into the walls—when I look at them now, up on my dining wall, I feel that certain pride of having my "work of art" on display. I may have gotten the idea on Pinterest, but the execution is (mostly) all mine. At the very least, a DIY home project makes for a good conversation topic. Guests often take notice because it's not something you'll find in the stores, which gives me an excuse to brag (because apart from feeling good in your home space, isn't bragging one of the benefits of having a nice-looking house?).
I digress.
Gathering materials
The problem is, while wooden crates abound (as junk) in the US, here in the Philippines, it's a rarity and a luxury. In one of my favorite local shelter magazines, I saw a wooden crate being sold for P1,250. There were also wooden crates being sold in Marketplace, a country store in SM North's Interior Zone, but they weren't the right size nor price for the project I had in mind.
It was only until a friend of mine had posted in Instagram about using wooden crates as night tables did I find out about the crates sold in Urban Abode (in Ortigas Home Depot). They were made of sanded pinewood, just the right size I wanted, and at that time, only cost P650 (they've since raised the price to P850).
Now before purchasing anything, it pays to measure the space you'll be working on (one of the most important rules of DIY). This is something I carelessly forgot to do. Stupid, I know. I immediately went to Urban Abode with my hubby in tow. Because I didn't have the right wall measurements, I couldn't estimate how many crates I needed. The peg only had four, but I thought, what if we could fit two more? The actual crates looked smaller than I imagined, and I wasn't sure if four would be enough. So I went ahead and bought six crates.
I wasn't able to take a photo of the actual crates pre-DIY, so I ripped this photo off from Urban Abode's Facebook page:
I guess buying six worked to my advantage, since having four crates was just right, and I had two extra as a just-in-case option. Because another rule for DIY-ing, especially if you're a first-time DIY-er like myself, is to always have extra materials on hand. You'll never know how sound your building skills and capabilities are, so in case your first (or second) tries don't go over too well, you'll have enough materials to rectify the problem.
I quickly scheduled for Jhay to come over (if you're like me, you're always in a hurry to execute your ideas, or else you won't be able to sleep). The day before construction, I gathered other materials I needed for the look I wanted, the main component of which is paint. It's a good thing that we still have lots left over from when we renovated before moving in, particularly of the exact color of the dining room walls: Davies paint in Antique White, an off-white hue with a slight hint of red. I also bought sandpaper, which I ended up not using at all. While the crates were unfinished, I wanted my shelves to look old and unpolished, so those minor imperfections on the wood worked to my advantage.
I found the perfect size and material for the wine-glass racks in Ortigas Home Depot—black, powder-coated steel that was only 13" long—but couldn't find a matching kitchen rack for the coffee mugs. We tried spray-painting a chrome-plated rack, but of course that proved disastrous. (Paint doesn't usually adhere to chrome, no matter how much you prep the piece.) So the mug-rack would have to wait.
Next, I bought a pinewood shelf kit, also from Ortigas Home Depot. Since I planned to put glassware on the crate-shelves, I figured I would need support from below. I didn't want to use L-rods like in the peg, so the pinewood shelf kit was perfect—it was the same material as my crates, used brackets for support (as opposed to floating shelves), and could be easily painted.
Construction commences
I set to work on the crates and the shelf kit, giving them a rough, one coat of paint. Since I only applied one coat, the paint dried quickly after a few hours under the sun.
My favorite part of this whole DIY project was personalizing the shelves with wrapping paper. Over the holidays I had received these lovely, Filipino-style toile de jouy paper designed by well-known furniture designer Ito Kish, in collaboration with Miel Cabañes.
(According to Wikipedia, toile de jouy "is a type of decorating pattern consisting of a white or off-white background on which a repeated pattern depicting a fairly complex scene, generally of a pastoral theme. The pattern portion consists of a single color, most often black, dark red, or blue.")
This is what Philippine toile de jouy looks like:
I measured the bottoms of each crate and cut up the toile according to these measurements. Then I pasted the paper on to the bottoms using double-sided tape. I think the paper makes the shelves look more interesting; plus the black-and-(off) white palette adds a modern quality to this country-style installation (and matches my black-and-white kitchen cabinets).
On the day of construction, Jhay and I laid out the finished crates on the floor first so he could get an idea of how to install them up on the wall. We measured the wall to make sure the shelves would be installed flush center. It helps to print out pictures of the actual layout, so you or your carpenter has a guide to refer to repeatedly.
I also ordered a white buffet cabinet from Mandaue Foam a few days prior, but since it hadn't yet arrived at the time of construction, I made sure to inform Jhay of the table's dimensions, especially the height. This way, the shelves won't be too high or too low, given we needed space for the wine-glass rack and our coffee-brewing implements.
Now before fully committing to installing the shelves, check first if the height and spaces between crates are right.
To do this, Jhay temporarily hung the crates using partially driven nails so I could check. Once I'd given my go signal, he drilled four screws on each corner of the crate and removed the nails. If you're OC about those nail holes, you can have them covered with putty or cement filler (masilya in local speak), though you would need to sand this and paint over it, as masilya is often a brilliant white color. I didn't mind, since the holes weren't that deep and Jhay made sure the holes would be covered by the crates.
After the shelves were up, Jhay worked on drilling the wine glass rack on the left side. Since we plan on installing a vertical wine bottle rack on the space next to the shelves, we decided the left side would be the wine bar, and the right would be the coffee bar.
We dusted it off as soon as Jhay was finished, and I brought out liquor bottles, a wine carafe, dessert wine glasses I'd inherited from my mother-in-law, and some jars and other glassware for display. Because of the busyness of the toile pattern, the items displayed needed to be light on the eyes; hence, the glassware.
Et voila, here's the finished product:
Note that we didn't install C-hooks for coffee mugs on the right side of the shelves. I've been searching high and low for black C-hooks locally, to no avail. For now, we're okay with keeping our mugs and coffee cups almost out of dust's reach in the cabinets.
I also still haven't found the perfect wall-hung wine rack—preferably black wrought iron that can hold up to six bottles—to put up beside the shelves. Right now, only the liquor and spirits are up on the shelves, while the wines sit in a cheap wooden wine rack on the floor. Keeping my eyes peeled for The One.
Hook me up if you see one that fits my specifications.

The past few years have seen motorists enjoy fairly low car insurance prices on the whole.
It was a welcome break from year-upon-year of hikes brought on by an explosion in spurious whiplash claims and the seemingly unstoppable march of 'no-win, no-fee' lawyers.
But unfortunately, all the signs are pointing to the days of low car insurance costs ending soon.
In July this year, the AA Insurance Premium Index reported a rise for the first time in years.
The cost of annual comprehensive car insurance rose by 5.2% in the three months to the end of June. A quote for a typical comprehensive motor insurance policy for all age groups is now £549.
Unfortunately, there was a degree of inevitability about this.
There have been a few big shake-ups in car insurance over the past couple of years – think the gender ruling, reforms aimed at cutting legal fees, and the big investigation into crash-for-cash rulings.
These were all meant to bring prices down by reducing the total cost the insurance industry would have to pay out in claims.
The industry largely took a long view on this – companies factored in these prospective falls and built them into their prices to stay competitive.
But unfortunately, the costs around claims didn't really go down as much as everyone had hoped.
This meant insurers were hit hard by how much they were having to pay out for claims, and have had to dig deep in their cash reserves to compensate to maintain the low pricing we'd all got collectively hooked on.
Elsewhere, some big insurers have been very proactively going after a bigger market share.
Hastings, for instance, had been chasing a bigger place in its marketplace ahead of floating on the stock exchange on 9 October this year.
This all adds up to make an industry which on the whole is struggling to maintain profitability as well as competitiveness. This means that prices will start to rise – and they're already on an upward curve.
As if this wasn't enough, Insurance Premium Tax is set to rise on 1 November by 3.5% to 9.5%. This will hit younger drivers, who already face high insurance costs, the hardest.
So what does this mean for customers? Quite simply, drivers need to be extra careful not to simply let their car insurance auto-renew when their policies are up.
Gocompare.com's Car Insurance Auto-Renewal Survey, published earlier this year, shows that 5.8 million motorists a year fall into the auto-renewal trap by simply allowing their car insurance to continue for another 12 months without checking other quotes first.
Even if your current insurer offered the best deal last year, you shouldn't automatically assume that it will when your policy comes up for renewal.
Fortunately, there are still deals to be found out there, and it's not too difficult to find them.
It only takes about five minutes to compare over 120 car insurance brands on Gocompare.com and 51% of customers using our site could save up to £201* – making that five minutes well spent.
*Based on independent research by Consumer Intelligence during 1 September 2015 to 30 September 2015. 51% of customers could achieve a saving of up to £201.63 with Gocompare.com car insurance based on a comparison of at least 39 companies.

From networking nerves to networking vibes!
Have you ever experienced the nerves when you go to a business event where you don't know anyone?
85% of all the people find it challenging to network, for example: walking up to strangers, starting a chat and discuss business. This is a pity, because it prevents you from attracting new clients and business opportunities.
Judith Smits is a Dutch entrepreneur, speaker and author. She started her career being part of the 85%. She once found networking a must, rather than something to enjoy. However, over time she developed herself as a real connector. She now helps individuals and organizations to become better at networking too. Her gained knowledge and experiences come together in "The Superconnector Show". In it, she uses Sendsteps to give the audience more trust and fun in networking. Watch the video to get an impression of the show!
The very first open question that is raised through Sendsteps is:
"What do you find difficult about networking?"
"When you touch upon more personal themes, the use of Sendsteps is essential", says Judith. Everyone can send their one-word response using their smartphone. The anonymous input appears live on screen. The most frequent used words will appear the biggest on screen, in a Word Cloud. As a result, attendees can share their insecurities but without the need to be addressed individually.
"What counts is the input on the screen and less the individual behind the response". Based on the input you can start a dialogue, whereby the audience slowly opens up. "At a given moment you notice attendees experiencing the click with the theme". People dare to share, they feel more empowered and in the end they simply have fun!
The Superconnector Show has many opportunities where the audience can expand their own network [e.g. on-the-spot pitching experiences]. The icing on the cake in the show is the network quiz. The audience can respond tot he quiz questions through Sendsteps and the winner leaves with the Superconnector Award.
The Superconnector Show is a great kick-off for many type of events. The shows range from 30 minutes to 3 hours. By using Sendsteps, the audience gets out of their comfort zone, they connect easily with others and they're having fun again in networking!

EEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR I hate myself as I just go out the door in the start of my run. My shirt has holes and so does my sweat pants, tradition. These apparels i love as they have been with me a long time, they even have blood stains. The great outdoors, where I can spit here and there, a snot rocket to boot, as there is no one around nor does anyone care, and it sure can help me breathe.
Little creative thought coming into play as I'm strolling along now for twenty ticks. A bypasser runner i often see and the EEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR. I think he thinks i am nuts as EEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRR the symbolic yell of that pain and pleasure, oh Martin let freedom ring. The sun and the cool breeze and feeling better now and yes, I love myself, or at least no longer hating myself. Okay, thinking of breakfast now and the sweat is rolling down my brow and really starting to feel good as I hit 45 minutes. It is unreal how much running changes perspectives and moods and self esteem. I'm now heading for home, the same place this adventure started. No Gym fees, no tennis court fees, or green fees and no car needed, just my shoes and the clothes i love so much as we are familiar with each other, my attire and me.
I run as hard as i can for the last five minutes and am now in front of my home and 50 minutes later, a completely different human being. I love myself and i love life, i can survive in this world and i love nature and I'm going to love this hot shower a'coming. Okay, shower done and breakfast comes along with the day ahead that's about to begin. Ah, the thought of my early evening run. Yes i love myself and you know what? I am not telling anyone, as they can feel how much i love them as i love my life, so you know the cliche of loving oneself means it is easier to love others.
Now, it's the next morning and I'm rolling out of bed and man I hate myself again. Roll out the medication in the form of running shoes and my favorite attire!

In an exceedingly data driven industry such as Exploration & Production (E&P), incomplete, inconsistent or invalid data could have serious business implications. For example, the key business decisions, such as whether to drill now or wait till next formation, whether to participate in a bid etc. are based on geological and geophysical data.
Accurate, consistent and complete data is a crucial component of E&P organizations' operational efficiency. This data goes through several manipulations and processing before it could be analyzed by domain experts. Maintaining data quality at each stage of the process requires a systematic approach to data quality.
We have extensive experience in E&P organizations data quality management. We have in-house Center of Excellence (CoE) for Data Quality Management (DQM) capability and foster Research and Development (R&D) initiatives to provide industry best solutions for E&P organizations' data quality problems.
Through the years of DQM practice, we have developed delivery accelerators – DQM reusable components such as templates, tools, catalogues etc. that help us provide quick turnaround to E&P organizations' data quality needs.

Head Heart & Hips, The Seductive World of BigActive
This book is a few years old now (2005) but I'll always come back to it for a good flick through. This post is mainly because I just stumbled across the book on amazon, where it is currently going for just FOUR POUNDS in new condition, and there are plenty of copies. I DESPERATELY urge you to buy this while it is going so unbelievably cheap. It's at least £20 in high street stores and packed full of BigActive's amazing talents (listed below), all beautifully laid out in full page and double spread layouts, letting the work do all the talking over 208 pages. The book is also hardback and a great size. I've photographed some of the layouts to prove just how sumptuous this book is. BUY BUY BUY

Advanced Fashion Drawing by Bil Donovan: A Review
This book represents the opposite kind of path that I myself took into fashion illustration, so it was interesting to see practical and logical approaches to illustrating clothes.
As my own visual language comes from more of a graphics and image-making background, rather than a textiles and fashion one, I've never really gone down the route of having to illustrate on a more practical and purposeful level.
There's many lessons about composition, line quality and technique that are genuinely informative and useful. Some of the illustrations chosen have a slightly dated feel to them, and aren't as inspiring as some of the others. That said, the images used in the book are there to serve a teaching purpose, the book isn't there to make you create your own visual style, you do that yourself through life experience and personal taste, something Bil is keen to point out in the chapter 'Finding Your Voice'. This book is essentially the teaching block that is required to get there, and there's some great work from the likes of stina persson and antonio lopez, including unseen practice sketches to help understand this.
Advanced Fashion Drawing does mainly stick to learning how to interpret the figure and clothing through all different kinds of media, but the rules can also be applied out of a fashion context, and for anyone who hasn't actually studied on a fashion or textile based course, this does give some great lessons and perspective.
Chapters such as 'Composing the figure within an environment' are especially useful, as it's something a lot of fashion illustrators find daunting and tend to avoid, including myself, so no matter how confident you are as an illustrator, there will be something here to learn from. For the price of it, the book is incredibly thorough and a lot of bang for your buck.

Masters of Illustration by David Downton: A Review
I'm pretty sure this is the first solid book review I've actually posted on here or on my own blog. I always mention books and artists of desire but with no full feature. basically, Downton's new book which I recently received, is truly an important book to any fashion illustrator, more so than any other book I've came across, and needs a solid review to reflect this.
As soon as you see Downton's new book, you know it isn't going to be another forgettable compilation book of contemporary illustrators. The design of the book alone is worthy of pointing out, connoting the historic beauty and elegant styles of the illustrators and artists featured, alongside a fantastic portfolio of David's own work.
It's obvious that he has clearly put his all his time and effort into this, the passion for the artists shines through every paragraph and image, and although he admits in the interview that the selection of artists was slightly self-indulgent, in my eyes it works better than simply showing a selection of illustrators that would people-please on a broad term, and instead keeps things direct and interesting.
The curation of artists itself is fantastic. There was a bit of debate over the fact that Downton left out Gruau, which is understandable given his significance. However the book draws your attention to artists or illustrators of equal influence but possibly less exposure, and there are already enough books and references to the work of Gruau to justify his absence. The book chronologically ranges from Boldini and Leyendecker (he of the iconic Coca Cola ads), through the gazette artists who influenced the likes of Gruau and Bernard Blossac in the mid century, right through to Lopez And Viramontes.
What was actually surprising, was how interesting it was to read about artists and illustrators past. I'll admit that when it comes to more historic artists, I'll usually skip the information about their career and focus on their work. Downton manages to place the context perfectly within the focus of the works, and as such nothing feels 'dated' when viewing.
With David's obvious interest in the pursuit of a career in illustration, and the likeliness that a significant amount of readership will also be interested in an illustrative career, the text manages to keep informative and exciting without ever becoming dense about the artists' techniques. It's beautifully illustrated throughout, and draws focus to the individual talents and styles of each artist, and made me reconsider the work and focus of something that I would have originally overlooked.
Also, the sheer amount of previously unseen and rare work makes this an absolute gem to behold. If you even serve a remote interest in the likes of Downton / Gruau / fashion illustration as a whole, or even more contemporary illustrators, this book is incomparable for a great learning experience and eye opener, and will no doubt provide inspiration on some level.

More Alex Noble
Alex's illustrations have a great identifiable quality to them. He gave us an interview in the first issue about one of his latest exhibitions, but here are some of his older illustrations to have a gander over.
I don't know about you, but in my eyes these are better than a fair amount of illustrators usually featured in illustrator compilation books, and it's a crying shame his work isn't exposed as much as his clothing.

Persian Kelim and Afghan Kilims
Kilims are a type of rug that is usually made from wool that is interwoven rather than knotted; this means that the surface is 'flat' instead of having a 'pile'. The origins of Kilims are Turkish or Anatolian, although these types of rugs are often made in Afghanistan, Iran, India and the Caucasus. Vegetable dyed wool is the normal fibre used when making kilims and this is woven using woollen warps and wefts. In recent years weavers are replacing wool with cotton as this tends to give a stronger and more secure foundation for the rug.
From Afghan and Indian to Persian and Turkish (or Anatolian), we stock a wide selection of flat weave Kilims that are all hand woven. These versatile rugs are incredibly popular and are commonly used as a floor or wall hanging. Like our oriental rugs and carpets all our Kilims are hand crafted using traditional methods and these are individually selected based on quality, colour and decoration.
As a family run business at Jennings we have been importing oriental carpets and Kilims for over 50 years. During this time we have built up an extensive network of weavers who supply us with top quality rugs, carpets and Kilims from all over the world. The patterns on Kilims help to distinguish where they originated with different designs unique to particular regions and areas, these having been handed down from generation to generation.
All of the Kilims shown on our website are available to view in our Tewkesbury store just a stone throw from the Abbey. Whether you choose to buy online or visit our store, if you have any questions or would like some advice then feel free to give us a call today on 01684 292 033.
With all Kilims, we highly recommend Foxi-Antislip for use on the floor or carpet underneath the rug. Being a lighter weight means that most of the time the kilim will move or drift without any anti-slip underfoot. We sell Foxi in multiple sizes and will cut to size when needed.

I know… that title is a mouthful.
It could have been worse, though, my first draft was: Amazingly Rich, Creamy, White-Chocolate Cheesecake with a Fresh Strawberry Swirl Topping on a Chocolate Chip Studded Fudgy Brownie Bottom.
Way too much.
So, I shortened the title to the best of my abilities while trying not to cut out the basic descriptions of the amazing flavors contained in this multi-level treat.
The base is a (very simple, one-bowl, no mixer required) brownie layer that is indeed very fudgy and studded with mini chocolate chips, (as the original title suggested). Strawberries and chocolate together… pretty much a no-brainer. It was the white chocolate that was the interloper here.
I didn't originally intend for this recipe to be such a bricolage of flavors, but I'm glad this happened. When I made my first attempt, it was just going to be strawberry cheesecake on a brownie bottom, but something was missing.
White chocolate was just the right touch to add a little extra pizzaz to this recipe, it lends a creamier texture, a degree of density, and a new depth of flavor to the cheesecake.
This dessert is the epitome of flavor complexity and you owe it to yourself and your palate to give it a try.
If you're looking for a Mother's Day dessert (it's coming up soon, as I'm sure you remember!), this is perfect for the occasion.

Property for sale in Competa
Competa is situated in the heart of the Axarquia on the Costa del Sol approx 18 km from the coast and 50 km to the east of Malaga. A wonderful village just one hour from Malaga Airport along the coastal motorway and then inland via the well maintained mountain road.
The white village of Competa sits against a backdrop of rich landscape rising to the great height of the Tejeda and Almijara mountain ranges (peaking at La Maroma at 2,080 metres) and then stretches out to the Mediterranean over a hilly countryside covered with grapevines that yield its famous wine, and with olive, almond and citrus groves and avocado plantations.
Competa is surrounded by the beautiful Sierra Almijara Parque Natural, a wildlife reserve where you can walk or ride in peace and tranquillity with perhaps the occasional glimpse of mountain goats and eagles. Apart from the wonderful nature that surrounds Competa, you will be impressed by the village itself.
There is a lot to do in the area around Competa: there are many good bars and restaurants and regular music events throughout the year; the town hall provides free Spanish language classes, there are various evening classes including keep fit and a local gym for the more energetic amongst us; there is a newly built swimming pool and sports centre; nursery, primary and secondary schools enable foreign children of all ages to integrate with their new Spanish friends.
The region in the Competa area has an average of 320 days of sunshine a year, even in the winter it can resemble some of the best summer days that can be found in northern Europe. July and August can be hot, but being 650 meters above sea level, it is often cooled by mountain breezes. The annual rainfall here is low.

As a dog lover, you may wonder how you can give something back to help pets in need. Our pets do so much to brighten our lives, don't they deserve the same in return? You can help homeless, sick and unfortunate animals by volunteering your time, donating funds and supplies, or just setting a good example. Here's how to start giving back right now.
Make a Donation
Donating money to a reputable cause is a nice way to help. Not only is it fast and easy, but it also allows the organization to put the funds where they are needed most. Learn more about donating to animal charities. However, if you can't donate your money, don't worry. There are so many other ways to help!
Volunteer Your Time
Your time is valuable, so volunteering to help pets in need is truly a selfless act. The funny thing is that the work can end up being so rewarding that it seems like a selfish act. Whether you are rescuing an animal that you found on the street, helping a friend care for a pet, or spending your time helping out at the local shelter, you are making a difference.
To get started, contact an animal shelter or pet rescue group in your area. Find out how you can help, but know your limitations. If you overextend yourself emotionally or physically, then you are not really helping the cause in the long run. Maybe you don't feel comfortable working directly with unfamiliar animals. That's okay. You may be able to help by answering phones, managing the website or even licking stamps. You won't know until you try, so start researching now. A simple web search for pet rescues or shelters in your city is a great place to begin. You can also ask your vet's office or another pet professional to recommend reputable local organizations.
Adopt a Shelter or Rescue Dog
If you are ready for a new dog, think twice before buying one. Your local shelter or rescue group may have the perfect dog just waiting for you. If you have your heart set on a certain dog breed, find a local breed-specific rescue. Adopting one pet can save that pet and possibly others from euthanasia, but it can also create a chain reaction. Tell your friends and family about your experience, and encourage them to adopt a pet instead of purchasing one.
Foster a Dog
Not sure you want a long-term commitment, but would like a pet in your life? Animal rescue groups are always in need of good foster homes. Opening your home to a foster pet can help that pet become more socialized and accustomed to home living, making the pet more easily adoptable. Who knows, you may even find that you can adopt the pet for your own.
Other Ways to Help
Any little thing you do to benefit animals can make a difference. There are also some specific things you can easily do to help animals - many are even free.
- Visit The Animal Rescue Site and simply click to give. 100% of sponsor money goes to the cause. You can also make a donation or shop for gifts, clothing and other useful items in their store. Every purchase funds food and care for rescued animals.
- Go to FreeKibble.com and answer a Bow Wow Trivia question. Right or wrong, they'll provide 10 pieces of kibble to Animal Shelters to help feed their hungry dogs. Visit daily to help the most. You can also make a monetary donation.
- Organize a local fundraiser and get your community excited about helping pets. You can organize a walk/run, party, car wash, bake sale or another event to raise money for the charity of your choice. See if your place of employment, church or another community group would like to be involved (and see if they can donate the use of their space). Talk to local business owners and ask for their sponsorship and assistance. This can be as big or small a project as you want to make it.
No matter what you decide to do for animals, you will make a difference if your heart is in the right place. Leading by example is one of the best things you can do. Be a responsible dog owner and do what you can to be kind to any animal you encounter. Remember that every little bit helps.

Nothing screams summer quite like the perfect pedicured feet paired with the perfect pair of nude strappy sandals. As the weather warms up, I find myself gravitating towards strappy heeled sandals in various nude shades since they look so fresh and feminine when paired with other light colors and denim. Nude shoes are a staple and every woman should have at least one pair in their closet. Check out a few cute styles I have been coveting and I have a feeling this will be a staple in my closet for the next few months. Cheers to it being officially summer.. Hibernation season is officially over.

I never realized just how many different things contained the color yellow. While Donna and I were walking around the campus of Charlest Southern University after dinner one night I started photographing everything I could see that had some yellow associated with it.

middle row: Another fire hydrant. Yellow ribbon around a tree. Yellow flowers in front of the building. A yellow semi-truck merging onto the highway. Yellow gas price sign. Lights on for safety sign. A yellow light on the truck with the safety sign.
bottom row: The yellow lane indicator. Days Inn. Penske rental truck. Fritos (my favorite). Oversize Load. Exit sign. Yellow stripes. Dig that head full of hair!

Durango & Silverton
Some trains are maintained solely for sightseeing and tourism purposes. That is the case with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in Colorado. This old-fashioned, narrow gauge line stretches for 45 miles and gains nearly 3,000 feet in elevation during its journey. Yes, the cowboy-era rail cars and steam engines make the Durango train a unique experience, but it is the views from the windows that make this ride a truly amazing trip. Colorado's snow-capped 14,000-foot peaks dominate the panoramas as the train chugs upward at the low speed of 18 mph. Adventure-minded travelers can add a day to their trip and ride the alpine zip-lines and experience the other outdoor attractions in and around Silverton.

The Signal Processing in Communications Group (GPSC) has been consistently developing two parallel research lines which make extensive use of advanced signal processing tools. On one side, we have experience in the application of such techniques in communication systems and sensor networks, e.g., in synchronization, equalization, link monitoring and adaptation, satellite and mmWave communications, spectrum sensing, etc. On the other hand, the group has been active in the field of multimedia security, including digital watermarking, digital forensics, and signal processing in the encrypted domain. The proficiency of the group can be attested by the results obtained in these areas: in the last 10 years, GPSC members have directed 9 PhD theses, published over 70 papers in international journals, and secured 9 M€ in funding from public (including European projects) as well as private sources (with more than 10 patents).

We spend a lot of time talking about the specifics of placemaking – parking regulations, zoning ordinances, code clauses – but these are all pieces of a bigger picture. We find that before diving into the details, it is critical to understand the macro concepts behind placemaking. If you're interested in creating great urban places, grab some popcorn (or a turkey sandwich) and take a look the videos below, the first of which are from our friends at Strong Towns, who do an excellent job of summing up these big ideas behind successful placemaking endeavors.
Month: November 2015
Big Picture Zoning Thoughts
The City of Atlanta has engaged consultants to tackle a re-writing of our zoning ordinance. This is a highly political process for any city. Most current zoning ordinances are a combination of good intentions producing bad outcomes for most places, and Atlanta's ordinance is no exception. It is important to think about positive examples of places that we love, and work backwards to allow those places to be legally built without special hurdles. It is also important to be aware that there are a range of these seemingly innocent under the hood items that result in bad outcomes for our neighborhoods. In an effort of transparency and sharing information, we've put together this blog post to outline our current thinking on a range of issues. This will be somewhat policy heavy, so you've been warned.
ICYMI: Eric Kronberg Interview in Curbed Atlanta
In a profile published last week by Curbed Atlanta, KWA's Eric Kronberg discussed where he got his start as a designer, his thoughts on the creation of enjoyable urban spaces, and how he sees Atlanta's urban evolution. Great read for anyone concerned about Atlanta's design future, adaptive reuse architecture, or the development of walkable, bikeable, affordable and enjoyable urban spaces. You can find the article on the Curbed Atlanta site here.
Form Follows Finance
Reflections on the Small Developer Bootcamp continued…as seen by Elizabeth Ward.
Architects all know the phrase "form follows function." It is burned into our brains at a young age: the modernist principle shunning aesthetics for aesthetics' sake and praising the simplicity of functionality. The term was coined by famed Chicago architect Louis Sullivan, who is credited with the development of the skyscraper. But the form of the skyscraper was not merely following function; these tall buildings were shaped by a host of outside forces, including significant economic growth following the Civil War, increasingly intense demands on urban land and the advent of new technologies.
But what exactly does "form follow finance," a term we heard repeatedly at the Bootcamp, really mean? Form has always followed finance, in some capacity, but the legal and financial regulations of the 20thcentury have led to finance actually dictating our built environment. Read more
Big Reflections on Small Development
On October 14th, more than one hundred architects, engineers, developers, and community leaders gathered at the Center for Civic Innovation in downtown Atlanta for the Small Developer's Bootcamp, hosted by the Atlanta Chapter of the Congress for the New Urbanism, the Georgia Conservancy, and Kronberg Wall Architects. This diverse group of individuals was on hand to hear two small-scale development experts – R. John Anderson and Jim Kumon – discuss the practicalities of development that fall within the "missing middle" spectrum: buildings in between the single family home and the looming apartment multiplex. Throughout the day-long workshop, topics ranged from efficient floor plans and building design to loan types and financial negotiation tactics.
The room was full of seasoned developers and designers well-versed in the vocabulary and methods of real estate development, but also present were a large number of newcomers for whom the Bootcamp was a whiplash introduction to the development world.
Three of those newcomers just starting their careers as professional designers at Kronberg Wall – Eric Bethany, Sanaa Shaikh, and Elizabeth Ward – took some time to reflect on the concepts and ideas from the Bootcamp that resonated most with them.
Read more for Eric Bethany's thoughts on the demystification of the development process – check back later this week for more reflections.

It's stone fruits season in California now and we can enjoy the lovely and tasty fruits fresh, or in some other forms involving some baking, such as galettes.
Not only fruit galettes taste wonderful, they are beautiful to look at and not very complicated to make.
Below are a series of photos I took while an apricot and cherry galette was made. My sole contribution was pitting the cherries.
