BEA + blurbs + events!
Posted on May 11th, 2013 by annakjarzab
Woof, long time, no blog, right? Well, I'm always keeping it real on Tumblr and Twitter, but there's something about having to compose longer posts that makes me feel so tired. (Really. I could bore you to tears with tales of how I'm trying to improve my sleeping patterns, but, well, they would bore you to tears.) Whatever–I have news!
Item #1: Book Expo America!
I'm very, very excited about this: Tandem is going to be a YA Buzz Book at this year's Book Expo America! There's going to be a panel on Thursday (10:00-10:50 AM at the Javits Center, Room 1E14/1E15) in which the editors of the five Buzz Books (you can find a full list here) chat up the books, and then there's an author panel on Friday, May 31 (10:00-10:30 AM, Javits, Uptown Stage) where we get to talk about them ourselves.
I will also be signing at the Random House booth (#3940) from 2:30 – 3:30 PM on Friday, May 31. Come meet me and pick up a galley of Tandem!
Item #2: Blurbs!
I was incredibly lucky enough to get two amazing blurbs from two of my most favorite YA authors (authors in general, really), and I wanted to share them with you! Many thanks to Ally Condie and Marie Lu, who are awesome and wonderful and lovely and I adore their books so much, so as you can imagine, I'm pretty chuffed to have their kind words on my little novel.
"Clever and exhilarating–each page is a pleasure. I loved the romance and adventure of Sasha's story, and I can't wait for the sequel." – Ally Condie, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the MATCHED Trilogy
"A fascinating world of parallel universes, sexy doppelgangers, and breathtaking action. Such a fun and addictive read!" – Marie Lu, New York Times bestselling author of the LEGEND Trilogy
Item #3: Events!
May is going to be a very busy month for me–besides BEA, I have three events, all on the same weekend. I'll be guest starring on Lurlene McDaniels' LIFE ACTUALLY book tour, which she's doing to promote her new book, A Year of Luminous Love (I just got a copy–can't wait to read it!). More info below (and also on my Facebook page–have I mentioned I have a Facebook page?):
Friday, May 17

New York, NY 10003

Every other Thursday, we bring you Nicholas Day -- on cooking for children, and with children, and despite children. Also, occasionally, on top of.
Today: A last-minute weeknight pork shoulder (yes, it's true), with a broth to get your family through the winter.
Last time we were here we talked sweet potatoes. And I stand by what I said, but really: serving sweet potatoes to your children is like handing out Adderall in Harvard Square. It's not a hard sell.
This time we're slightly more ambitious—as part of what Kristen calls the go boldly project: the places where the kids menu fears to tread. (The sweet potatoes were part of the companion go meekly project.)
Which brings us to Charles Phan of The Slanted Door and Vietnamese Home Cooking, Phan's splendid new cookbook. And it brings us to lo soi, which—yes—isn't especially Vietnamese. (Like a few other dishes in the book, it is a nod to Phan's father, who's ethnically Chinese.)
Phan attributes the sauce to Hong Kong; it has the warm, high-licorice aroma you'll find in some other braises in the region. It has a cupboard worth of spices, some fish sauce, a pint of soy sauce, and a bucket of water: there's no nutmeg, but if egg nog was somehow transformed into dinner, this is what I imagine it tasting like. It has that sort of warm, fireside comfort. It tastes like Norman Rockwell, not Nixon, went to China.
In Phan's version, you briefly simmer a couple pieces of pork shoulder and let them cool in the sauce. This isn't fall-apart, all-afternoon pork shoulder. This is tight-grained and just toothsome enough; you'll want to douse it with sauce. Serve alongside boiled eggs, given time to meditate in the lo soi and also doused. (My method is to medium-boil the eggs, crack the shells, then transfer to the lo soi to hang out for a while. But if you know a better way, pipe up.)
A couple of points: 1) If this sounds tricky, keep in mind that it is more measurement than cooking—I did it one-handed and one-hipped. 2) This is a mother sauce: you're supposed to keep using it; it only gets better. (When chefs change jobs, they are said to take their lo soi with them.) Add fresh spices each time. Phan says if you haven't used it in a month to boil it for five minutes and then store it again.
It's a dark, mysterious liquid and there's a lot of it. You could drop half your kitchen utensils in it and never know they were there. In the fridge, it takes up some precious space—mine is stored in a tall Ball jar, where it looks like witches' brew awaiting newts. If you use every square inch of your fridge, this may not be for you. But if you can spare a few vertical inches, the conceit of a sauce that's premade and just waiting is perfect for families. Phan recommends braising whole chickens and ducks in it; my next stop is some thighs and drumsticks. Then I'm on to fresh pork hocks (browned, then braised for a couple of hours). Then pig's feet, the same way. (Dead serious: for the wrong sort of kid, pig feet is really wrong, but for the right sort of kid, it is really, really right. Consult your about-my-kid label to see what kind you have.) This is what's for winter.
In my daydreams I see family cookbooks that contain nothing but recipes from Southeast Asia and China. There's no area of the world that's more neglected in make-my-kid-eat books and there is none that's more missed. It's a case I'll be making in the coming months: soon, caramel sauce. For dinner.
Charles Phan's Lo Soi Pork Shoulder
Very lightly adapted from Vietnamese Home Cooking (Ten Speed Press, 2012)
Makes 1 pound pork shoulder (plus a big batch of lo soi)
1 3-inch piece cinnamon stick3 star anise pods, whole (or their equivalent)10 whole clovesOne 2-by-1 inch piece ginger, crushed1/2 teaspoon five-spice powder2 tablespoons fish sauce2 cups light soy sauce (if you only have standard soy sauce, that's fine)2 tablespoons light brown sugar1 pound pork shoulder, cut in two equal pieces

T1D is
an autoimmune disease in which a person's pancreas loses the ability to
produce insulin — a hormone essential to turning food into energy. It
strikes both children and adults suddenly and is unrelated to diet and
lifestyle. It requires constant carbohydrate counting, blood-glucose
testing, and lifelong dependence on injected insulin.

critical T1D research. With your support, this research will continue to
bring us closer to a world without T1D.

Along my financial journey in life, I made a great number of mistakes. In this ten part series which runs from July 19 to July 30, I'm going to focus on ten of my worst mistakes and the difficulties and successes I've had in overcoming those mistakes.
I blamed others for the challenges in my life.
If you want to find scapegoats in your life, almost everyone can find a lot of them.
I was born with legal blindness in my right eye, deafness in my left ear, and a nonfunctional thyroid. I spent much of my childhood with various sorts of surgeries, surgical recoveries, and illnesses, leading me to less cultural and social exposure than I might have otherwise had. I spent much of that illness time reading, so I skated through most of secondary school without learning any study habits, which made college rather challenging at times. I chose not to follow my dream career path in order to earn more money.
All of these things would be extremely easy to change into an excuse for not doing the best that I could do. For example: My childhood doctors exacerbated my health problems. My parents didn't expose me to any sort of culture. My advisors in high school pointed me down a career path I should not have followed. My teachers didn't teach me any study skills. My bosses created a work situation that I was unhappy with and ate up my time and energy so that I couldn't follow my dreams or ideas.
Guess what? In every single case above, I was the key to solving the problem.
I spent an awful lot of time in my life blaming others for the fact that my good life wasn't better than it already was. All that did was give me an easy excuse to not work my tail off to overcome the obstacles in front of me.
Take my medical conditions, for example. My lack of hearing in my left ear is the result of having a completely destroyed inner ear – there's literally no bone structure in there. Sometimes, in social situations, I simply cannot hear people sitting on my left. For the longest time, I would dole out blame for that – it's their fault for not talking louder, it's my doctor's fault for not diagnosing my ear problems.
All those excuses are is a crutch to excuse me from solving the problem myself.
Today, if I want to participate in a conversation, I make a point to try to sit on the left side of that person. If I can't hear what's being said, I don't blame the other person for speaking softly – I ask them to repeat it. If it's in a noisy room, I apologize and simply say, "I'm sorry I can't hear you. My hearing isn't so good. Could we go over here where it's quieter? I'm interested in hearing what you're saying." Guess what? Almost everyone I've ever met will happily accomodate these things.
Even more important, it's not their responsibility to know that I can't hear them. It's my responsibility to make sure that I can hear them.
Let's look at my teachers, for another example. In high school, I rarely had to put forth any effort at all. When I reached college and faced some of the more difficult classes, I was in trouble. I had no real idea how to study.
At that time, rather than simply saying, "I've got to learn how to study," I would mostly just say things like, "No one ever taught me how to study." I'd beg for grades and try to make an excuse out of my situation. Sometimes it would work – usually, it did not. I struggled mightily during my second and third years in college, permanently damaging my collegiate GPA. During my final years in college, especially my final one, I actually learned how to study and made dean's list with a very difficult courseload. Yet, I still wanted to blame others for my poor GPA. It must have been the fault of my teachers.
Over and over again, my willingness to blame others for the challenges in my life delayed creating solutions to those problems. That blaming enabled me to keep on making the same mistakes as before and keep on repeating the actions that led to the things I was unhappy about to begin with.
What can you do to avoid this trap?
Here's the real truth of the matter. No matter how unfair the situation, you are the solution. Using the cause of the problem as an excuse not to solve the problem doesn't cut it. In fact, it usually just prolongs the problem and makes it worse.
Whenever things are not going the way you want in your life, ask yourself what you can do to make the situation better or change the context of the situation so that the problem isn't as devastating. If you're overweight, don't blame the food companies and keep eating unhealthy stuff. Take action to toss out the unhealthy stuff and replace it with vegetables and fruits.
Whenever you hear yourself blaming someone or something else for a problem, stop. Blaming others for your problems is an incredibly pernicious habit. Yes, there are bad things in life. There are bad things in everyone's life. The people that succeed are the people that don't waste their time looking for someone or something to blame, but instead look to themselves for a solution to the problem.

You don't have to be vegetarian to fall in love with this Spring-fresh Thai noodle salad!
A bit of creamy peanut sauce, made from our very own Carolyn's Favorite, pairs up against smooth rice noodles and crispy raw Spring veggies. Cucumbers, red radishes, daikon, and herbs make for one seriously pastel plate. Don't worry if you've never tried some of these vegetables; they can all be found in the carrots section of your supermarket produce aisle—just ask someone if you need help finding them! If you can't find baked tofu at your grocery store, feel free to substitute cooked pink shrimp (we like the baby shrimp best, as they are the sweetest!).
One word for this dish: revive!

For all its political intrigue and gorgeous player models, EVE Online is still, like all other MMOs, a little stale. This concept trailer shows how developers CCP are planning on spicing things up a little.
To complement the EVE Online MMO, a first-person shooter called Dust 514 is due for release sometime in the next year or two. It's not just based in EVE's universe. Rather, it's hoped that people playing the MMO and the shooter can link their actions, a space battle helping decide the outcome of a struggle on the ground, or vice versa.
This trailer shows how, in a perfect world, that would work. I'm having flashbacks to my "best game ever" dreams of the late 1990s, and they are painful.
It's also a nice touch that, for a game built around political intrigue, this clip shows the hard-working shooter fan being completely fucked over by the selfish, distant MMO player.

Are you a Green Bay Packers fan? Has true love eluded you? Read on, my friend!
Because the Internet is both awesome and outrageously expansive, we now have Greenbaypackerslovers.com, a dating site devoted to unattached fans of the defending NFC North champions.
"Green Bay Packers fans are the most loyal fans around," we're told in the site's news section. "Just look at Pack's die hard fans that tackle the brutally cold winters to storm outside and cheer on the Pack Attack."
This is real.
"At our site you can find other Packers Bakers cheeseheads looking for love. Whether you're looking for true love, a long term relationship, are marriage minded, just looking for fun or maybe even just looking for friendship, http://greenbaypackerslovers.com is right for you! Check us out today."
There's a solid rom-com in here somewhere in which a young reporter (and closet die-hard Vikings fan) goes undercover to see what's really going on behind the cheese curtain. Only now, she's fallen for this guy and the truth threatens to tear their love apart.
It's kind of like "Just One Of The Guys," but with more male nipples.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys discuss "Draft Day," then break down who got better (and who got worse) in the AFC East.

Most Las Lenas travelers fly into Buenos Aires, which is about 732 miles east of the ski resort, and then either hop another local flight to Mendoza or on the overnight train (the cheapest options). You can certainly rent a car and drive from Buenos Aires yourself, the trip takes about 11 hours, but once you're at the resort, you really won't be in need of car.
We, at Ski.com, know that travelling overseas can be confusing. Our knowledgeable Mountain Vacation Specialists boast more than 30 years of experience customizing ski trips worldwide. Let us help make your Las Lenas ski trip as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Call, or chat with, one of our Mountain Vacation Specialists today and book your flights and ground transfers.

WASHINGTON: Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoygu made a congratulatory call to Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, and the two leaders discussed a range of issues, Pentagon Press Secretary George Little said yesterday.
Hagel and Shoygu discussed the ongoing security transition in Afghanistan, Little said in a statement.
"Secretary Hagel assured his counterpart that the handover of security responsibilities is progressing as the capabilities of the Afghan national security forces continue to improve," he added.
Hagel said the United States would keep Russia and all concerned apprised throughout the process, and he encouraged close bilateral cooperation on other issues, including Syria, North Korea and Iran.
"Minister Shoygu expressed his desire to reconvene missile defense discussions with the U.S. at the deputy minister level," Little said. "Secretary Hagel agreed and reiterated that this is an important part of U.S.-Russian relations."
Hagel assured the minister that these discussions would continue and be carried forward by Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Jim Miller, the press secretary noted.
"Secretary Hagel expressed his appreciation for the call, as well as his desire to continue close coordination on a range of global issues," Little said.

Official statistics show that the Tunisian Bizerte Free Trade Zone has so far attracted 56 million Tunisian dinar ($45 million) in investments, reported the London-based Al-Hayat daily.
Bizerte zone, situated 60 kilometers north of the Tunisian capital, Tunis, is expected to lure another TD 23 million ($18 million) in investments by the end of 2001. Ninety percent of the investments are controlled by foreign enterprises, notably from Italy, France, America and Japan.
The value of all incoming foreign investment to Tunisia had reached a record of one billion TD ($720 million) in 2000, according to the Tunisian minister of foreign investment and international cooperation, Fathi Merdasy. This figure reflects a 122 percent increase compared with the 1999 figures, when investment amounted to only TD 437 million ($310 million).
Merdasy also revealed that TD 300 million ($215 million) worth of foreign investment was funneled into the local energy sector in 2000. A large portion of these investments was used to finance a new electrical power generation station in a southern suburb of Tunis.
In addition, several international companies began operating new oil and gas excavation projects, mainly in southern regions of Tunisia. — (MENA Report)

UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan teenager Malala Yousafzai vowed Friday not to be silenced by terrorists in a powerful speech to the United Nations on her first public appearance since being shot by the Taliban.
"They thought that the bullet would silence us, but they failed," Malala said on her 16th birthday in a presentation in which she called for books and pens to be used as weapons.
"The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life, except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born," she said.
Her 20 minute speech was given several standing ovations and was quickly hailed for her message of peace.
Malala, who wore a pink headscarf and a shawl that belonged to assassinated Pakistan leader Benazir Bhutto, insisted she did not want "personal revenge" against the Taliban gunman who shot her on a bus in Pakistan's Swat Valley on October 12 last year.
"I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists. I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there is a gun in my hand and he stands in front of me I would not shoot him."
But Malala said "the extremists were and they are afraid of books and pens, the power of education. The power of education silenced them. They are afraid of women."
"Let us pick up our books and pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution," she said.
The passionate advocate for girls education was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman as she road on a school bus near her home in Pakistan's Swat Valley in October.
She was given life-saving treatment in Britain where she now lives, but the attack has given new life to her campaign for greater educational opportunities for girls.
Malala is now considered a leading contender for the Nobel Peace Prize. The Taliban have made it clear however that she remains a target.
Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister and UN special envoy for education, hailed Malala as "the bravest girl in the world" as he presented her at the UN Youth Assembly.
Brown said it was "a miracle" that Malala had recovered to be present at the meeting.
UN leader Ban Ki-moon and other top officials also hailed her achievements.
The speech in which Malala invoked the legacy of Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and other legendary peace advocates brought quick praise.
Malala also thanked British doctors and nurses for the care they had given and the United Arab Emirates government for paying for her treatment.
"I cannot believe how much love people have shown me. I have received thousands of good wish cards and gifts from all over the world. Thank you to all of them. Thank you to the children whose innocent words encouraged me," she said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said on his twitter account that Malala had delivered a "powerful message".
The United Nations estimates that 57 million children of primary school age do not get an education — half of them in countries at conflict like Syria.
"Students and teachers across our globe are intimidated and harassed, injured, raped, and even killed. Schools are burned, bombed, and destroyed," said Diya Nijhowne, director of the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack.
Nijhowne highlighted a horrific attack in northern Nigeria last week.
Gunmen from the Boko Haram Islamist group — whose name literally means "Western education is a sin" — broke into a secondary boarding school and killed 41 students and one teacher before setting fire to the building.
According to Ban's annual report on children and conflict, 115 schools were attacked last year in Mali, 321 in the occupied Palestinian territory, 167 in Afghanistan and 165 in Yemen.
Pakistan has an estimated five million children out of school and Nigeria 10 million, according to UN estimates.

Leopold's Day offers a unique perspective of Ulysses by mapping Dublin through the eyes of Joyce.
Leopold's Day is a collection of beautifully designed pieces inspired by Leopold Bloom's journey through Dublin on 16th June 1904. The carefully designed range is centered around a beautifully crafted map formed purely from the people, premises and places cited in Ulysses.
This is the first time a map of Dublin city has been created which captures the landmarks and actual people who featured in the famous text. Every detail has been carefully selected to capture the essence of the day when Bloom ventured through the city; the main typeface of the map is a digitised version of the typeface used in Ulysses' first edition. The map's directory features over four hundred landmarks and businesses, which formed the backdrop to Ulysses and were in existence in Dublin on that monumental day when Leopold Bloom journeyed through the city.

Like last week, I want you to alternate sets between different exercises. After completing the first exercise (the Squat & Reach), complete Exercise 2 & 3, then 4 & 5, and finally 6 & 7 together, alternating sets. Rather than doing the exercises super set style however, rest between every set (except as noted below). You'll finish the workout by completing a few sets of a single abdominal exercise.
Exercise – Sets/Reps
1. Squat & Reach – 2/17 each leg
Standing on your left leg; reach forward with your right hand and touch a dumbbell lying upright on the floor in front of you. The goal is to perform a partial, one legged squat as you squat and reach out. (try not to just hinge at your hip joint!) Come back to a complete upright position. After you complete all reps on one side, switch before repeating both sides again.
2. Incline Dumbbell Press – 3/11
3. Incline Dumbbell Row – 3/11
For both these exercises, set an incline bench to 45 degrees. Use a close grip, palms in for both exercises as well. First complete the Press, then turn around and lay prone on the bench (facing floor), chest support on bench while you row the dumbbells upward. Remember, you are not Super Setting, yet!
4. Body Weight Squat – 2/17 (no weight)
5. Barbell Squat – 2/7 (with weight)
OK, Squats are back AND now you get to Super Set! Complete one set of the bodyweight Squat, then go immediately into your Barbell Squat without rest. Repeat for an additional Super Set!
6. Supine Row (AKA Inverted Row) – 2/17
7. Push Ups! – 2/17
For the Supine Row you'll need a Smith Machine or a Squat Rack you can lower the bar to a height so when you hang, arms outstretched, from a Supine position under the bar your body (shoulders, hips & knees) are horizontal and parallel to the ground; with your knees bent at 90 degrees and your heels underneath your knees. You'll pull yourself upwards so that your chest touches the bar – this movement is opposite of the Push Up Movement; and you already know how to do those! For Push Ups, try a different progression if you're ready!
8. Abdominal Toe Touches – 3/17
Lying on your back, feet up, legs mostly straight but knees slightly unlocked, holding a medicine ball with both hands. Without dropping your legs, bring the medicine ball as close to your toes as possible, then return back to starting position.
Time to Complete: 47 minutes or less, including Dynamic Warm Up and Static Cool Down.
Suggested Rest Between Sets: 47 – 74 seconds.
SUGGESTED EQUIPMENT: Dumbbells, Adjustable Dumbbell Bench, Medicine Ball, and Workout Timer.

We have to run the ball in order to win the NFC North. We have not effectively done that.....yet. The offensive line is beginning to gel and Ryan Grant looks as though he is regaining the burst from the second half of last year. The passing game has carried this offense this year. Greg Jennings is an elite WR and Aaron Rodgers has proven to be a legit, franchise QB. DD is DD, a beast to take down. Jordy Nelson is going to press James Jones for all he is worth to be the #3 in this potent passing attack.
Defense: B-
We have be unable to shut down the run. Nick Barnett has not had the kind of year expected preseason. Brandon Chillar has been a pleasant surprise – he can play ball. The defensive backfield may be the best in the league. With Al back and Charles Woodson playing like the best corner in the league, we are going to be tough. Tramon Williams is a legitimate starting press corner that just needs to play more snaps. With the defensive line rotation hopefully set for the rest of the year, look for this D to step up. Harrell will make an impact in an improving interior.
Special Teams: B
Jordy Nelson is a good return man; Will Brackmon is great. He will break at least one more this year. Our coverage on punts has been excellent and it seems as though Frost has worked out some kinks. Brandon Chillar has proven he is a valuable asset on special teams as well. Mason Crosby is one of the best in the league. I like our special teams and expect big plays from that group in the second half of the season.
Coaching: B+
I have to say I love the Green Bay coaching staff. MM is a great play caller and is being recognized around the league for that. He runs a tight ship and I think the players want to play hard for him. The defensive has been able to make adjustments when necessary, without sacrificing the physical, in your face defense Green Bay loves to feature.
Overall: B
This team needs to put together a few good games in a row. Talent is abundant and players are gaining unbelievable experience. The Packers are a young, healthy organization. They need to learn how to close games. At 4-4, the record is dissappointing. They are better than a .500 team and should win the NFC North. It's a great time to be a Packer fan.

The Dutch know a thing or two about utility cycling and Basil's Forrest waterproof single pannier is one of the most innovative and stylish I've used in a long time.
Made from PU coated nylon, construction seems generally excellent with welded, tapered seams promising to keep the contents bone dry. Organisation is better than I've come to expect from bags of this type with a zippered, internal soft case taking care of mobile phones, compact cameras and other valuables.
A second pocket, integral to the lid, is useful for keys and other nick-knacks needing to be within easy reach. Elsewhere, there's a slightly Spartan, rubberised carry handle but a much nicer shoulder strap making for a very stylish bag sans bike.
Fitting is the standard hook type which means it mounts and detaches in a flash but supplemented by a bevy of clever shims providing a tailored, secure fit to any rack with rods between 6 and 16mm thick-anything from a minimalist spring clip design through to ultra beefy expedition models. Two minutes and I'd achieved the perfect fit. This coupled with a curious looking retention wheel attached to the lower carrier frame and mated with a nylon track bolted to the pannier bottom eliminates annoying sway, even with spirited bridle path antics and equally enthusiastic loading.
There's even an integral padlock securing the pannier to the carrier frame which is ideal for those two-minute hops to the library/supermarket/post office etc, although I wouldn't risk leaving it unattended for longer periods.
Weatherproofing is excellent, riding through a torrential storm and localised flooding made negligible impression upon the fabric and the contents. River riding revealed some traces of damp but lining with refuse sacks kept clothes and valuables dry. A rigid bottom would add greater shape and in turn improved heel clearance but the forest is a solid, wallet friendly option for anyone needing a smart, competitively priced pannier for commuting or general riding.
Well designed all weather commuting pannier

Book Illustration
Book illustrators breathe life into the written word. Whether the topic is scientific, imaginary or age-specific; these talented fine artists must invite the eyes to embrace images which properly correspond to the authored content. Illustrators can work in literally every genre of publication and within a variety of environments. Whether freelancing, or in the employ of a business or corporation; book illustrators create the pictures which are worth "at least a thousand words."
Book illustration is a form of fine art that is used to create drawn pictures and images for books.
Illustrations are meant to be much more than pretty pictures, however. They will usually help add to or enhance the story in some way.
Generally speaking, illustrations are more commonly found in children's books. Some children's books may consist of nothing but pictures, although many children's books also have words as well. Not only do these pictures add visual appeal for a child, but they can also help a child understand the words of the story as well. As a child becomes more adept at reading and understanding stories, they will typically begin reading stories with fewer illustrations.
Illustrations are also commonly found in some books for adults as well. Instructional books, for instance, often contain a number of diagrams and charts, which help readers see each step of a particular process. Medical and health books, along with wildlife and nature books, also usually have a number of illustrations as well.
A book illustrator is a professional that creates drawings and other illustrations for books. The images that illustrators add help convey the ideas and messages of the books as well as help bring the stories alive.
Many illustrators will usually specialize in illustrating certain types of books, like picture books or books in certain genres. Some book illustrators may write the books that they illustrate, but many simply add illustrations to existing manuscripts.
During the illustration process, a book illustrator will sometimes work directly with the author of the book. Many times, however, an illustrator will never meet an author of a book. Instead, illustrators will usually be contacted by editors or publishers. Successful illustrators must be able to read stories, interpret them, and use their own intuitions and imaginations when illustrating a book.
When creating illustrations, a book illustrator may use several different methods. Some simply use pencils, paint, or other traditional art mediums, for instance. Others, however, may take a more modern approach to illustrating and use computer software.
In general, book illustrators should be artistic individuals. They should have advanced drawing or painting skills, for example. Because they need to come up with countless unique illustrations, they should also be extremely creative individuals with limitless imaginations.
Book illustrators who write their own books will also need to have excellent writing skills as well. Otherwise, they should be able to understand and interpret the text written by existing authors.
A formal education is not always necessary when pursuing a career in book illustration.
Many illustrators, however, will choose to attend an art school in order to fine tune their skills. Some art schools specifically offer degree programs in book illustration, but aspiring illustrators can also choose to enroll in a drawing or graphic design program as well.
Book illustrators may be compensated in a couple of different ways. Many are paid a lump sum for each project that they complete, but some might receive royalties instead. Either way, a career in book illustration can be very lucrative for many talented individuals. According to the Bureau of labor Statistics, fine artists – including book illustrators – made an average annual salary of $53,080 in 2010. Some more successful illustrators, however, are able to make much more.
Job Outlook
The majority of book illustrators are freelancers. They usually get work after showing their portfolios to authors, editors, or publishers. Some book publishers might also hire illustrators as salaried employees, but this is rare.

David Risley necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 39 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
I need a professional logo and corresponding seal for this new site aimed at bloggers looking to turn "pro". A lot of people are going to see this logo, so it needs to reflect quality and power. See the long description for more information.
Blog Masters Club
This new membership site is going to be called Blog Masters Club.
I want a logo that emphasizes the Blog Master part of that, since that's the focus of the program. I would like to have a logo which can appear in the header of a blog. Make it transparent or light/dark backgrounds that way I have the flexibility of using it in different settings.
The seal is simply a corresponding, circular seal that shares a similar aesthetic to the logo (as much as possible). As a similar example, look at the seal in the upper left of the Mass Control blog:
I do not have a specific color scheme in mind as of yet, however I want it to communicate quality, respect, money, authority. so, obviously I'm not looking for reds and oranges. I'm thinking colors like green, blue, black, white, etc. But, I defer to your artistic sense. :)
Lastly, these graphics are very likely going to be included in a video intro for the product, so I need the graphics in high-res and transparent (like PNGs) so that I can use them on the web or in videos where I may want to show the seal twisting or moving in some way.
- Logo
- Seal
- Both in transparent PNGs so that I have flexibility of use and placement.
- No reds, oranges, pinks, etc.

Alleged burglar falls from tree
ALOHA, Ore. — An alleged burglar fell about 40 feet from a tree after fleeing a home here Saturday afternoon.
A homeowner called police after he said he found a man in the middle of a burglary, standing in his shower.
The homeowner said he fought the suspect, later identified as 46-year-old Bret Davis, and then Davis took off running, according to Sgt. Vance Stimler of the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
The homeowner said Davis had taken energy drinks and alcohol from his home, and police think he may have been under the influence of other substances.
Officers and a K-9 tracked down Davis and found him about 40 feet up a tree. Davis refused to come down from the tree, instead climbing higher until he eventually fell out of the tree after about 30 minutes, Stimler said.
Davis was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. He was later booked in the Washington County Jail on burglary, robbery, assault and theft charges.

Introducing the Prime Bookshelf
Designed for two-channel purists and home theater fans alike, there simply isn't a finer bookshelf monitor available at even twice the price. Equally adept up front in home theater or 2-channel settings, or even as a surround speaker. No matter what your listening preference, the Prime Bookshelf is the most flexible performer in the Prime speaker line. The handsome styling and high-end finishes result in a premium look that inspires pride—even before you've hit the power button. Matched with both the Prime and Ultra Center, Prime Satellites, and SVS subwoofers, the Prime Bookshelves can be the cornerstone or a stunning supportive element to any audio system.
In a 2-channel setting, Prime Bookshelf delivers a full and rich stand-alone audio experience with a 6.25" woofer for deep and articulate bass and a 1" aluminum dome tweeter for air presentation and unrivaled highs —true to the legacy of high-end, 2-way monitors. Stereo purists will rejoice at the amazing imaging, soundstage and fidelity delivered by the Prime Bookshelf. Whether you're kicking back Saturday evening with a single malt and Dylan, or enjoying freshly ground coffee Sunday morning with Brubeck – the Prime Bookshelf has it covered.
SVS Drivers Extreme Performance and Uncompromised Fidelity
The proprietary SVS drivers utilize the finest materials and design features to ensure the highest sound quality and performance. The Prime Bookshelf driver array features a 1" aluminum dome tweeter and a 6.5" woofer.
1" Aluminum Dome Tweeter
Light, efficient, and rigid, providing high SPL (Sound Pressure Level) with minimal distortion and the sense of utter transparency. It deploys a Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA) optimized diffuser to ensure the tweeter only has the perfect on-axis and off-axis frequency response. That way everyone in your listening room gets the best performance. Likewise, since we share these design traits with both the Prime and Ultra speakers, both product lines can blend well with one another while offering that SVS hallmark 'airy' presentation and incredibly unveiled highs.
6.5" Woofer
We built our groundbreaking new 6.5" bass woofer on an all-new cast ABS-fiberglass composite basket for precise component alignment and an inert frame without resonances or added harmonics. Like all of the other drivers in the Prime family, the polypropylene cone is light and rigid to give a flat frequency response and the SPL necessary to keep up with the other drivers. Like all of the other woofers in the Prime and Ultra series, the 6.5" woofer uses aluminum shorting rings for reduced distortion, and a vented voice coil former to keep the motor assembly cool during high SPL playback. For perfect bass extension the cabinet is rear ported and tuned perfectly for the 6.5" woofer.

In many versions of their origin tale, the Justice League came together to thwart an alien invasion, and thereafter pledged to work together to defend Earth. For the DC Comics "New 52" reboot a few years back, that origin story was retooled for modern times, hinging on DC supervillain Darkseid's attempted conquer of Earth, and the League rising up to send him packing.
That Justice League relaunch story - penned by DC Creative Chief Geoff Johns and drawn by legendary comic book artist Jim Lee - is now the subject of DC Universe's latest animated feature, Justice League: War - but have some major changes to the storyline and voice cast doomed this film to mediocrity?
Besides the epic action and anime-style visuals by director Jay Oliva (Batman: Under the Red Hood), you may have noticed that the first big upset in this interpretation of the New 52 Justice League is a glaring lineup change: Aquaman is out, and has been replaced by Captain Marvel (now officially named Shazam, apparently). During the Justice League: War panel at New York Comic-Con it was revealed that Aquaman is currently being mined for his own animated feature-film, which is why Billy Batson/Shazam is now in the film.
While saving up Aquaman for something bigger is admirable - especially to fans of Geoff Johns' modern overhaul of the character - Aquaman was definitely a standout of the Justice League relaunch, and not having him definitely feels like a missed opportunity to prove to a new crowd why this character (who is so often a punchline) actually belongs beside Superman and Batman - on the big screen as much as the small screen.
The second big upset this trailer's overpowering techno-beat score tries to mask, is the questionable voice acting in the film. Voice casting guru Andrea Romano has long been the secret weapon behind the iconic voices of DC animated characters (like Kevin Conroy's Batman), but here it seems she may have missed the mark. Eagle Eye star Michelle Monaghan doesn't sell Wonder Woman all that well; and while we love Firefly's Alan Tudyk, we don't necessarily love him as the voice of Superman. Irish actor Jason O'Mara (Life on Mars) as Batman? Weeds actor Justin Kirk as Hal Jordan? We could go on, but the actors' delivery (what bit of it you can hear in that trailer) sounds as if they are as uncertain of themselves of we are of them. Not a good sign.
Still, the action looks epic, and for those who have not yet endeavored to discover the modern world's Justice League (and were perhaps confused or put off by Man of Steel's representation of that), this is a pretty good way to get your feet wet in that pool - especially if it's one that DC movies like Batman vs. Superman and TV series like The Flash will be drawing from.
Justice League: War will be on DVD/Blu-ray and Digital Streaming and Download sometime in first quarter 2014.

Charlotte Bacon, six
Charlotte was wearing a new pink dress and boots to school on Friday, which her mother let her wear after much begging even though she was supposed to keep them for the holidays.
Her parents, JoAnn and Joel, had lived in Newtown for four or five years, JoAnn's brother John Hagen told Newsday.
"She was going to go some places in this world," he said. "This little girl could light up the room for anyone."Picture: REUTERS/Facebook/Handout
