"How a Classic should Sound"
Jane Eyre and Juliet Stevenson. Sheer Heaven. It always surprises me how long Jane Eyre can be, but this edition makes you understand why good old Jane has appealed to so many for so long. Once again, the narrator makes the difference, and I just can't recommend Juliet Stevenson enough! Long may she read!
"Young Lady with Mind and Heart!"
"Arabella" is one of Georgette Heyer's earlier books, and it illustrates much of what makes her writing so much fun. The title character is young, spirited and lovely - but what sets her apart is her native intelligence and her exceptional heart. Our hero is experienced and a little jaded (and, OK, to modern audiences, just a shade too patronizing), but he recognizes the quality as well as the physical attributes of the lady. A charming, highly mannered Regency romance ensues.
We might wish for more of the eccentric and funny secondary characters that Heyer so deftly presents in later books ("Sylvester", "Venetia", "A Civil Contract" are excellent examples), but I dare anyone to resist Jemmy the chimney sweep or especially the wonderful Ulysses in "Arabella".
It's a short listen, but, as one of Heyer's characters might say, "highly diverting".
"Perfect Title for an Enlightening Experience"
Thank you Great Courses!
I loved this listen! I bought it because I had read about Bill Gates' suggestion that this set of lectures be adapted for High School use. He thought it a brilliant new way of looking at the structure and content of the basic history course.
Well, I think he and Professor Christian are absolutely right. This course begins with the real beginning - progresses through the formation of our universe, our solar system, and our planet to the eruption of life, division of species, and, finally, the development of human civilizations.
It's all here and presented in a fascinating way. The Professor is a wonderful speaker, and his enthusiasm for this material is evident and contagious. My husband and I listened during many drives and found ourselves several times going out of our way to avoid arrival before a lecture ended!
I hope Gates can help encourage more school systems to consider "Big History" as a high school course. It's high time for a more inclusive approach to history.
"Big History" is a long trip, but it's a total pleasure. Embrace it!
"Wanted to love it, but. . . ."
Do you ever get the feeling that you've heard or read a book before? Well, "The Invention of Wings" is one of those. There's much to admire: the Grimke sisters offer an excellent and mostly unknown historic starting point; the main characters are well drawn; the narration is excellent throughout.
But there's just nothing new here. We have already pretty much realized that slavery was horrific. That early 19th century society was also confining for intelligent, sympathetic women in general. Not until the author's statement at the end do we learn all that much about the historic sisters' lives - and that an equally important half of the story is entirely fictional.
I was expecting more.
"Games Teenagers Play - And Adults Too!"
I think I know what Tana French was getting at in this quite different book. She begins with pulling you into this seemingly uniquely banal teenage world. Girls sniping, bickering, bullying in an elite private school - totally unlike the adult world, yeh? Then, slowly and throughout the book, she introduces the parallel, if more subtle, ways in which the police culture is structured. Repeating the same painful scenes: jealous, sniping men and women vying for top dog status!
It's actually very clever, and you have to wade through perhaps too much teenage angst and confusing skips back in time to get there. I found it hard to understand, for instance, why it was so important to emphasize that one story line took place in one day. And why the other storyline was so repetitive. The two-narrator decision is fairly clear - it helps distinguish for the listener just where in time you are at any given moment. But this concept was not helped by the grating, valley-girl accent of the female narrator - or by the strong accents that took really getting used to.
I respect an author who tries different styles, so Tana French will remain, for me, an intriguing voice among young writers. I tend to agree with other reviewers that this work might well have been better experienced in written form.
But I got the point.
"Lessons We Learn"
How is it that some of the people treated most badly in this country end up being some of the best heroes and patriots?
I know an American woman of Japanese descent who spent years in an interment camp while her two brothers served very honorably in the US Armed Services. She was never bitter, but she has only recently told her story, even to her family.
Here we have Chester Nez, a boy forced to attend an abusive boarding school, which would forbid him his language, change his name, and denigrate his culture. Yet he - and other Navajos - responded to a call to serve this country that so undervalued his people. He performed extraordinary deeds in the Marines and agreed never to divulge the extent of his service. Amazing.
This account is told simply and in a most straightforward style. The war sections are interesting, but the book also includes a fascinating account of the early years of this Navajo boy and then his years after the war. The combination makes for more than a story for WWII buffs; it's a true American tale.
I for one am so glad that Chester Nez finally decided to tell his story. I learned a lot from this book - I recommend it to others.
"Much Ado"
I like Neil deGrasse Tyson (tho he's no Carl Sagan!), and I love the idea of this short book. The first couple of hours have some interesting information about the big bru-ha-ha over the "demotion" of Pluto from planethood.
But, OMG, after that! I think Tyson may have mentioned by name every single member of every Astronomical Society in the world! Maybe twice! His need to wriggle out of responsibility for disappointing school children and Plutophiles everywhere is at times funny, at times very exasperating - and nearly always repetitous.
I believe that this book just about sums up why our society has become so anti-intellectual. Scholars argue and backbite and fret about the "masses" daring to have opinions.
And there is Pluto, still in the heavens and not the slightest bit concerned!
"All Saints"
I love the characters in Krueger's Cork O'Connor series. They are mostly back for this adventure, and, as always, adventure it is!
The story line involves rescuing girls of Ojibwe ancestry from the evils they often find when they run away from the reservation. As young as 13 or 14, they are often enticed into lives of prostitution and have nowhere to turn for safety. This brings Cork, along with Jenny and Henry and others, into the dangerous world of the Lake Superior docks in Duluth.
As is usually evident in this series, there's a spiritual element involving the "Windigo," a demon of myth and, in this case, a real man and his cohorts. Cork, Henry, and Jenny face physical danger and their personal devils and anxieties along the way.
So, the story moves along, and we are happy to be in the company of these people. My one concern is that Cork and his family (and extended family) have all become quite saintly. I miss the old conflict that Cork had with his wife. Henry has always served as the conscience of this world, and his spirituality and wisdom are believable and inspiring (although his physical exploits at nearly 100 stretch the imagination). I'm not quite ready to accept that all the characters have joined him in perfection.
Not sure where such flawless characters can go from here!
"Enlightening and Entertaining"
"Classical Mythology" is one of "The Great Courses" doing what this series does best in several ways:
1) Elizabeth Vandiver is a well-qualified, pleasant-voiced, and obviously enthusiastic lecturer. Her command of the subject and interest in conveying it to the listener is evident.
2) There's lots for the general listener to learn. My husband and I have listened to the entire course during driving trips. We are perhaps just a bit more-than-average in our acquaintance with Greek mythology through history and literature. We're experiencing the "Percy Jackson" series with our grandson just now and enjoying that very much. This course serves as a great reminder and review of the knowledge we have/had, as well as lots of new information about the gods, heroes and tales of ancient Greece.
3) Professor Vandiver shares her opinions and even her biases. It's fantastic when listeners can pause the presentation to debate and even argue some of the points made by a teacher. Makes for a thought-provoking and involving experience.
4) It's unforgettable in lots of ways. The course brings insight into how our society today is still affected by these stories. Vandiver points out ways in which these myths have influenced modern archaeology, psychology, politics, and literature from Shakespeare to comic books.
Highly recommended as a useful and fun listen!
"A Familiar Profile"
Inola Walela must be the best name ever! Along with a solid plot, fast-moving action, and intriguing characters, that's a good reason to give "Crescendo" a try.
We have seen it before, of course. The female cop - a misfit, conflicted, complicated character with secrets in her past. She's hesitant to commit to a personal relationship, she rarely confides in anyone, and she's unsure of herself and her position in the Department. Most of the men on the squad don't fully trust or accept her. Her dedication to solving her case, however, and exceptional skills make her a good cop, and she's willing sometimes to break the rules in pursuit of justice.
Still, Inola and her fellow characters are appealing, and the story grabs you fast. Ledford is a good writer, and Christina Cox narrates with clipped, no-nonsense enthusiasm and considerable skill. I'm definitely willing to continue with this new series.
My one reservation is whether, in the summer of 2014, we are becoming a little less trustful and accepting of the well-meaning cop who may exceed and/or misinterpret authority. In fictionl, we have accepted much in law enforcement that is more questionable when presented in the real streets of New York City or St. Louis. Will (and should) that make stories like this less popular?
"Any 'There' There?"
I read all Georgette Heyer's books a long time ago, but I couldn't remember this one. Now I know why.
Pen Creed is one of Heyer's very young heroines. She's plucky, determined, willful and naive. And this seems to be her appeal to a polished, educated, experienced-but-bored man of the world. Lucky for her, he is also an honorable and principled guy, for we are quickly aware that, without him, she would be in a pack of trouble!
So much so that her innocence borders on stupidity and her willfulness approaches heartlessness. Now, this is not so common in the ladies of Georgette Heyer. Generally, the reader/listener can forgive the youthful wayward actions and enjoy the depth and heart of even the youngest characters. In "The Corinthian", you come to suspect that either Sir Richard will become completely bored with Pen pretty quickly or he's not all that bright himself.
Either way, this does not add up to prime Heyer. Even her usual attention to the eccentric "minor" characters is subdued here, as though even her heart was not in writing this particular story. She must have needed the money, or faced an impractical deadline. Even a dedicated Georgette fan can skip this one. Try "Sylvester" or "Venetia" or "Sprig Muslin" instead.

This cuff bracelet features a delightfully delicate design. Two soft triangle cabochons of picture jasper adorn the center of the cuff. The stones are encompassed in an incredibly detailed sterling silver rope and scrollwork design that travels down the arms of the bracelet in feminine beauty. The cuff measures 5/8" wide and fits an average-sized wrist. Made in America with gemstones from around the world.
Like all fine jewelry, Carolyn Pollack Sterling Silver Jewelry should be handled carefully. Store jewelry in a plastic bag, dry and wrapped in tissue paper, when not being worn or displayed. Clean sterling silver with a silver polishing cloth when necessary, but never subject to chlorine, silver dips, chemical solutions or ultrasonic cleaners, as these substances can cause the genuine gemstones to discolor. Never wear jewelry in a swimming pool.

If you like to listen to potent, powerful music — and feel it too — Punch components will give you impressive sound that'll stand out in a crowd. If your car's sound system is sounding a little dull, Rockford Fosgate's Punch Series P1T-S tweeters use a dome design that delivers clear, extended highs, so these tweeters can hold their own when the bass gets heavy. Separate crossovers send only the high frequencies to these tweeters, and you'll find three settings for adjusting tweeter output. You can flush- or surface-mount these tweeters, making it easier to find the perfect spot in your vehicle.

Listening is so indivdualized its tough to say hey these are the best etc. They drop right in the 1 inch tweeters OEM on a Nissan Titan 2011, these were easy to install and a great improvement over the OEM, can you do better probably but can you do better at this price point probably not so far so good. Pros: Price point and sound quality Cons: None yet 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Too harsh Written By MikeE, Ashland, KY on Wednesday, April 04, 2012 I am assuming these are the same tweeters that come with the Punch component 2-way speakers. I hate them. Ordered a set of JL silk tweeters to hopefully eliminate the harshness. My EQ cannot fix these. Pros: Not much Cons: Ear-shredding 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 3 out of 5 Loud, harsh hi-hats Written By rft1d412, Iowa on Sunday, September 25, 2011 These tweeters are very loud. That is the only thing good about them. The sound quality isn't there. The hi hats are very loud and harsh, while other things like bells and stringed instruments are quiet and tinny. Boosting the treble with the 13-band EQ on my DEH-P930 makes it even worse. They are powered by an old school Orion 280gx getting 80wrms per channel paired with an older set of Infinity 6x8 coaxial's with the separate tweeter wire un-hooked. It is not my system making them sound the way they do. These replaced a set of lower powered Kenwood tweeters which were also tinny sounding, but were much more even sounding. These Punch tweeters lack in bells and strings, but strive on hi-hats, which produces a very un-even sound that not even my EQ can fix. 4 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Scouting? What do you guys look for when you are scouting? And when you are scouting for deer how much scouting do you do?
Scouting? What do you guys look for when you are scouting? And when you are scouting for deer how much scouting do you do?
Bow String Depot Custom String Builders
Need a string set pm or email me @ email@example.com
or check us out @ http://bowstringdepot.com
I was looking for deer tracks and trails when I scout. This year I kind of knew where they were based on cam footage so I have placed more cams out on likely trails and crossings and have been rewarded with some pretty good sightings on the cam. I am still new to the game as this is my sophomore year actually hunting. I also am using google footsteps on my phone to log GPS coordinates of my stands and then trying to use google earth to do aerial surveillance for more possible spots at my lease.
I have a vague idea of what scrapes are so I do not do to much looking for those.
Next year while the weather is cooler say April when the seasons close I am going to hit the scout trail harder.
Believe it or not...I was scouting on the patio behind the house about 40 minutes ago. lol Relaxing w/ a cup of coffee. 4 young bucks ran by at about 25 yards. Busted out of my neighbors woods and ran into mine. All looked to be still in velvet. Happened real fast. Made my day!
To answer the question, I do alot of post season scouting to pattern late winter deer. This is where I pick up the following late spring. Travel routes to food, water and bedding. I look for natural funnels between hills and transition areas from thick cover to wooded and or field. I look for that not so heavy trail just off the heavily used trail. Rub lines always get my attention. I generally don't go too crazy or change too much when I find a scrape though (as long as I'm in the area). Don't use cameras as much as I should.

I have regular spots that I use in the different woods that I hunt in. I have found over the years, that the deer typically move on the same paths year after year, (at least where I am hunting). The things I look for most are downed trees, or other obstructions that may move the deer off the normal travel paths. It is nice to find scrapes and rub lines, but for me it is more important to make sure the travel corridors are still open and being used. I also look for tree stands to make sure nobody is moving into my area. I actually found one a few years back. I used to hunt with my father out of an old half built log cabin my uncle started. He split his leg with the ax and never finished the cabin. The logs were about waist high, so we built a seat in the corner and shot many deer from that spot. One year, I found a tree stand in the tree right behind the cabin looking over the path that the deer took which would lead them right to us. I left the stand in the tree for several years, and never saw anyone or any sign of it being used. It was nice to know that it was there, because I would always check the tree to make sure no one was in it, especially during gun season. I have found other stands over the years, but that one was the closest. I like to know where other people are in the woods, just because if the deer spot them, I know to look left or right from where the stand is if the deer try to skirt the stand.

Besides the trail Camera. I try to find the high ground and use the glasses more than boots. I had a habit of walking too much looking for deer. One year I actually over done it and got dehydrated. I ran out of water and there were no tree's around to find shade. I stopped sweating, had chapped lips and a really bad headache. I ended up getting underneath some brush for shade until I could regain composure. What I learned was that I could cover more ground with Glasses than with feet. For 1 dollar a page I can get maps from the County Assessors office. From my high vantage point, I look for visible animal trails and mark the trails on my map. You can get a close up map for a certain property if needed. Mark watering holes, paths, etc. There's what's called a 911 map that the cops use for my county. It has everything on there including the map sections for area's. With that information I can get close up maps of certain area's that I'm interested in just by showing the assessor office the area on the 911 map. It has the coordinates on it. If you do it the right way...you can find out who owns what property...it's all public info. Great for getting permission to hunt slips.
I went last Monday, and I was very happy with my last day of scooting. 1 evening, 1 morning = 15 deer. 13 does and 2 bucks. One of them an 8+ points. Not that I'm looking for trophy, but it nice to see one of them since they're not always easy to see.
From after season until late August the next year, I do all my scouting with spotting scopes or binoculars from a good distance. That'll give me a very good idea of deer travel, and hang-out areas. Granted, while turkey hunting, I do notice all the rubs and scrapes from the previous season, and mark them on a map. The deer in my area tend to use the same routes, food sources, and bedding areas every year unless something has moved them out. I hunt private land, so I leave my stands up all year. 3 weeks before season, I go check them all to make sure they are safe and still standing. lol Once season opens, I spend the first few weeks watching the deer moving, and then if neccessary, I'll move a stand to get closer. I won't even think of trying to move up close to a bedding area until it's the middle of the rut. I hunt the travel corridors, and creek crossings for the most part early in the season, and so far, I have had pretty good luck with that. Season opens Oct. 1st here, and so far, it's been 5 years since I haven't gotten my buck before Nov. I like the small Oct. rut that kicks in around here better than the main rut in Nov. Deer show up earlier in the day, later in the mornings, and are still on a fairly predictable pattern during that Oct. rut. Last 4 years have all been P&Y bucks, and none shot later than Oct. 25th.

Yeah, I know I'm grumpy and opinionated.
i look for heavily used trails between known feeding and bedding ares. thick brush lines on the edge of a woodlot that has crops on the other side. my best spots so far are a thick creekbottom that is surrounded by crp fields on 3 sides and a large oak woods with plenty of flats and ridges. then i narrow it down even further towards the rut and find dense thickets in the creek bottom close to the base of a ridge with shallow draw leading to the ridgeline.
second spot is a 10acre mixed hardwoods lot with 3 sides being bordered by over 300 acres of corn and clover on the forth side. the woodlot is shaped like a backwards 7 and it alone doesnt really hold the deer,which is fine with me. its a well used travel area that the deer use to cross from one area of corn to the next. i see more bucks in this location than any other. in the 10 years ive been hunting it,i've had only a handful of doe sightings. this is where i shot my 11pt and have passed on way more 8 and 9pts than i probably should have. more points but smaller rack. as much as i dont want to,im supposed to be taking any and all shot opportunities at any and all deer per landowner request. ill start a new thread on this subject.
another area is a 7 acre parcel literally at the city limits. the hunting area is outside the limits,cross the street is inside. there is a factory on the SW corner,a cemetery nestled in an oak forest right next to it on the SE corner. there are two main rds to the N and E of the Parcel. in the middle of it all is my honey hole. a 65acre swamp know as "NO Man's Land" . virtually impenatrable with its insanely dense thickets and muck bottom. it designated trout stream meanders through the property with the 7acre parcel being the only dry ground in the swamp/creek bottom. its also very thick and dense with max shots being 20yds once the leaves fall 15yds in the early season. its extremely hard to hunt,but the size and quantity of the deer there are unbelievable! ive only been able to take one young doe here. the older deer are way to smart for me. id be willing to bet that the average age of the deer are 3 1/2 on up and are over 200lbs on the hoof.

Boy!, Things can change by the day. I guess that's why it's hunting and not catching. We've had a Cougar hanging around our little housing community. We don't even remember when a Cougar just came in someone's yard and bedded down. It's been a week roughly since that happened. My cam is down to almost Zero Deer pics. The Movement is all haywire and my Hunt starts in a few days. The great thing about trail camera is that it logs the date and time. With a computer software you can log that all down into a graph and it will kinda give you the best times for when the deer move in that area where the cam is located. My best times were either at sunrise or right before sunset legal times of course. We have an idea where the Cougar is mainly located. We can actually watch the deer line up on top of the mountain and just look across to another area. All they do is watch that area and DON"T come down. I'm bringing my Taurus Judge with me for extra protection. We can't hound or bait Cougars here so it's mainly Spot and stalk or what I call a chance encounter. I bought a Cougar tag, bear and Elk tag too. I pray that everyone that goes out, comes home to their families. Be safe hunt hard. For your Tree guys and gals make sure you use a tree harness of some sort. between the Cougar and the rattlesnake that was on my front porch I'll be packing a Gun and using my Snake Gaiters. Make sure you give someone a copy and map info of the place you'll be going too. just in case they don't hear from you...they'll know who to contact and where to go. The ex cop and hunters Ed instructor is coming out again. lol Happy hunting...Godspeed.
This little fella was on my front steps. I thought it was a bull snake at first until I walked up to take a picture. He coiled up and rattle at me. For the safety of my family..I dispatched him.

I am excited about the many travel journals I have already assembled, but am always eager to see new ones. If you have any artists you'd like me to consider for inclusion in my new book, An Illustrated Journey, send me information and links or post them here under comments. I am mainly interested in journals that include both drawing or painting and writing too. Thanks!

I don't know if these would qualify, but I've posted a set of my travel journal pages on flickr.
Ooooh, these are lovely!
Hi Danny, what a fantastic opportunity! When do you need the journals? I am traveling to Thailand in November and would love the chance to be included in your latest venture. I'm a photographer based in Scotland but there are some examples of my illustrstion work in the personal section of my website…even if you don't think I would be suitable I'd love to hear your thoughts on my work. Kind regards, Ross.
Danny, take a look at this site. Marie was a friend of mine and an admirer of yours.
From that blogspot you can jump to her web site.
Molly Hashimoto is my former teacher… her website has extensive samples – beautiful watercolor travel journals are one of her specialties (and she teaches on the subject as well). You might like to contact her directly for specific samples that include both watercolor and writing (her email link is on her website).
Here is a link to my Venezuela sketchbook
It was an interesting experience because I was traveling with my cousin who is an American diplomat in Venezuela. The political climate there is not conducive to tourists or taking photos. Journaling was perfect… though many of the vignettes were done in a moving vehicle.
i started journaling after taking your course at the Open Center a few years ago…. you opened up a whole new world for me. Thank you.
Well I follow all the wonderful people on Urban Sketchers and I know you know those guys. But I just found this guy: http://www.theartistontheroad.com/?p=2168
and I can't remember if you know about Wendy Hale Davis: http://worldbridger52.blogspot.com/
Thanks very much ChrisF for mentioning my work, http://www.theartistontheroad.com !
Hi Danny, Considering how great An Illustrated Life and the rest of your books are, I'm sure An Illustrated Journey will be great too. I would love to be apart of the project. Here are some links to my work:

ALSO……'Drawing Breath' blog by Barbara Weeks is awesome!
Hi Danny,
Below are some links to my blog and flickr stream that have samples of my travel journaling. I actually include my travel journaling into my visual journal to keep it all chronologically in one book.
Have a great day!!

Hi Danny, here are also some of my travel journals' pages in which I also have written:
hope you like it
This is so exciting. I love An Illustrated Life and can't wait to see An Illustrated Journey!
I fill Moleskine Japanese albums – small accordion notebooks – on my travels. I'd be quite honored to be included in your book.
Here's a link to a sampling of them:
Thanks for the opportunity to share!
Bon voyage,
Hi, Danny. Here's a link to my flickr page. My trips to Vancouver BC, Acapulco and El Golfo Mexico are in there. The newer pieces are mostly Seattle. I stopped writing on the drawings a couple months ago, so I'd have a little more freedom when compiling my own books. See what you think. Your books were my inspiration to be more prolific. Thanks!
Have you seen..http://www.theydrawandtravel.com/ ?
I've been journaling for about a year now, and this last month I went to Ecuador. I made it a goal to complete a journal with my volunteering experiences and exploration of the Galapagos and Ecuador mainland. Wow – recording the trip through notes and drawings allowed me to see so much more than only my camera. Best souvenir I could ever have. I really feel it sharpened my observation skills and my love for my surroundings (wherever they may be).
Here's the link to my journal pages on Flickr:
And here are a few favorite pages:
Thanks for opening up this community – I'm enjoying looking at everyone's links that responded to this post!
Hi Danny,
I'm working on a journal that includes pages I made in Hawaii, and some that I'm making about the trip after returning:
And this set contains other pages I created on my travels…they are in my regular journals and just appear as they happened:
They are not full of fancy techniques, but mostly just drawing and painting. I hope you like them!
Hi Danny;
Here is a link – more words are in Fiji travelbook and Spain I think :)
Good luck with both books!
And thanks – even if you won't use any of the sketches from this stream – I've already learned about a few great travel sketchers!
My friend Max posted a great travel journal on his site:
How 'bout Lydia Velarde…she has such a funand quirky style…..http://lydiavelarde.com/
Hi Danny,
I carry my sketchbook everywhere and here is couple of sets, ink is my favorite media…
I'll be waiting for your book, sounds so exiting.
Hi Danny:
I've been keeping a travel journal for about 3 years now:
This is journaling on a piece of public art…I treated the whole car as if it were my travel journal on a trip down Route 66. It was just installed today.
Maybe not anything you'd consider since it is definitely not a book.
Hi Danny: Looking forward to both of your new books. Kolby Kirk keeps one of the best travel journals I've seen. He's been featured in Moleskinerie and Journal Craft Inspirations. No, I'm not his agent – just a fan. He is currently thru-hiking on the Pacific Crest Trail (can't wait to see the pictures of THOSE journal pages!), so he probably won't be available until after September or October according to his website. Here's one of his Flickr sets you might enjoy: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kahunna/collections/72157594587631210/
Cheers! Line

Hello Danny,
I don't know if you would consider including a dog who keeps an illustrated journal of his travels near and far but I'd be pleased if you'd have a look at my blog.
I wanted to write to you privately (some top secret stuff that I can't share with just anyone) but couldn't find a way to do that.
Ruca from Portugal
Hope you don't me bombarding you w/suggestions….I just have so many I follow…
I recommend you contact Robert Dvorak (firstname.lastname@example.com) and ask to review his travel journals. I think you'd find his work worthy of consideration for your book.
hello danny,
love the idea of a travel sketchbook collection! great project, would love to be part of it.
i´ve uploaded some quick photos here:
if you like, i can provide new high res versions.
can´t seem to find your email adress. where can i send samples to?
Hi Danny,
How exciting to see everyone's work! I have numerous travel journals and keep daily sketch/journals that fill my studio shelves. I would welcome an opportunity to show you my work.

Hi Danny,
You are an inspiration to us all, and your books are among my most prized possessions. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for so openly sharing your words of encouragement and your dynamic and free-spirited illustrations. Illustrated journaling has become my passion too, because its core—its essence, is the absolute acceptance of one's personal style for exactly what it is. You taught me that. And to share… I am looking forward to your new book!
Here is a link to my flickr photostream.
Hey, your traveling journal pages are great.

Hi Danny
So exciting to learn a new book is coming – even though it seems we are still months away from the release :( .
I don't know exactly what kind of artwork you're looking for. Just in case, here is a link to a few pages of my travel book in Sri Lanka last year. I doubt my awkward work may qualify, all the more the writing is in french, but who knows.
By the way, your books helped me organizing so that i can find some time for my drawing passion. And The illustrated Life was such a source of inspiration. thanks for this
Can't wait for your next book !!!
Hi Danny, I just moved to a new city (Singapore) in June and had started a drawing journal for it. I've posted some of the pages here: http://www.leafbear.com/projects/
Hey Danny,
here is the link to my travel journal. It's travel journalling with a bit of a difference. I have made all the drawings when I've got back home, from my various trips, drawing all the souvenirs I brought back with me (from sugar sachets from the USA to fridge magnets from Amsterdam);
Cheers! Andrea.
Hey Danny,
Love the idea! Sounds like a treasure of a book!
Hi Danny,
I'm thrilled to hear about your new book, which happens to combine two of my loves. I have included a link to pages from my Greece travel journal as well as to my blog. Thanks for taking a look!

Danny, Your travel journals are at the top of my favorite , and I also love Lisa Cheney-Jorgensen (rightside) and Tommy Kane and others listed here. Personally I have to also list
http://www.flickr.com/photos/93526285@N00/ (Sketchalina) she has some fabulous travel journals and text to include us all. Gay is another favorite traveling the california coast primarily
And you must know Liz Steel (australia)
http://www.lizsteel.com/ she travels a ton and her architect's background brings a solidness to her sketches I love. this list is awesome and if a "keeping an illustrated travel journal" is something the world Needs!
I sure wish my travel journals could be contenders! I'm trying!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/58482042@N00/ check out his Italy journals, there are a few that still blow my mind.
Hi Danny,
These are less travel journals, than "preparing for travel" journals. I am going to China for a year to teach. I read Dave Bruno's book, the 100 Thing Challenge, and rather than put things in storage, I decided to give it all up. These sketchbook pages chronicle my efforts to get rid of my possessions.
Dear Danny,
Rainer Ullrich calls himself expedition painter and ist actually giving lessons in how to combine drawings and writings when traveling.
Hi Danny…
You might find my travel journals and paintings of interest… May your new project be as interesting as the "Illustrated Life" treasure I own and share with my students.

I took a watercolor travel journaling workshop from Scottsdale Artists' School. The instructor was Lew Lehrman. His travel journals from abroad are amazing. I think he would be a great person to consider including in your new book. You should check out his work. Thanks, Kay
Hi Danny,
I started keeping travel journals around two years ago…I am not an artist but enjoy making art journals, I have been keeping them since 2001. You can have a look at my travel journal pages here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mmtrujilloa/sets/72157626194916877/
I've been travel journaling since 1978, and have been teaching classes and workshops at The Scottsdale Artists' School and elsewhere since around 1992. During these years, I have produced 18 journals of trips including Europe, Israel (2), China, Vietnam (workshop) Peru, Spain, Thailand (3) Tuscany and Venice (workshop)You can see some of my pages at http://www.LewisBLehrman.com/journals.htm. Would like to participate.
I have your books to thank for helping me loosen my style, Danny. Looking forward to all your new books. Here is a journal I made and sketched in while in Maine:
I'm not sure if this is what you might be looking for, or if this link has enough information…
I spent some time in Israel 2 years ago and kept a watercolor travel journal while there. Many from our tour group pleaded with me to make copies…this journal was the result of their requests. Thank you for your consideration, Danny. I enjoy your work.
Hi Danny…
Two comments I wish to share… The first, I loved your "An Illustrated Life" book. I use it in my illustration and design courses to inspire students to sketch every day. The second comment… I hope you plan to use the submissions from the artists that are offering their travel s journals in a new book because if you do, I'll certainly add it to my library.
Here is my URL to my travel journals http://artfulescapades.com
I am currently planning a diving and sketching trip to south east Asia and you can bet the first items packed will be my journaling goodies…

I just came back from a little trip, inspired by this blog post to do as much sketching as possible. It was fantastic and enriched those few days of vacation – thanks :-)
Your books inspired me to a more loose and much more enjoyable way of sketching, Danny. Here is a journal I made for a trip to Maine:
Hi Danny, I just discovered recently your work. I live in Barcelona and am just a beginner with journaling. I very much admire your stuff, I ordered two of your books and can't wait to receive them.

Hi Danny — I'm excited about your new travel book because I've just about worn out The Illustrated Life. Here are two suggestions that you might want to consider. Definitely you want to look at Pete Scully's work at http://petescully.com. He lives in Davis, California and is from England and travels back and forth. He is very approachable, organizes sketch crawls and has wonderful pen and watercolor drawings. Many are travel related. He just returned from the Lisbon International sketch crawl.
There's another one to consider that no one seems to know about except me. Her pages are at http://www.flickr.com/photos/98657307@N00/ and are sometimes travel related. Her Moleskines have a unique look – you'd recognize her work a mile off – and are often intriguing. Most of her pages would have been appropriate in your earlier book, but she does travel sometimes and you might want to consider her. Her name is Kathrin… something – it's on the site – and she lives in Germany. I wish more people knew about her.
Those are my two votes. I look forward to the book when it is published – hurry though, I will be waiting! – Barbara
Hello Danny,

Hi Danny—
I'm a little late to the party… I just had twins…can that be my excuse?!? Anyway—here's a link to my 'away from home' sketches. Theres quite a bit there that doesn't fit…but perhaps some work that does…
Hey danny!
I don't know if you're still looking for artist danny, but I'd love to be a part! Like others have said, it feels egotistical suggesting myself, but then we all dream of sharing drawings in printed form with the world, so I'm going to do it anyway :)
but first I'm going to suggest another artist that really inspires me. His name is will freeborn, he's a scottish artist who works mostly in moleskines. his work can be found here in flickr… http://www.flickr.com/photos/ghostschool/
You can find my work here… http://www.flickr.com/photos/58482042@N00/

Hi Danny! I'd love to be included in your new book! Please have a look at my New Zealand sketches (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150201747530238.331897.547060237&type=1),
and quick sketches ( http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150275637955238.353318.547060237&type=1) .
I backpacked around NZ from april to july this year with stayed in a 1984 car for a month collectively. I kept a moleskine watercolour sketchbook and another for quick sketches and for recording more private thoughts throughout my journey.
Would love to know what you think. Thanks!

Hey there !
Couldn't help but notice a VTES nerd in you're signature ... Doubled with an Aussie fellow (I have an aussie half, from my mother in Sydney ...) !
I started some time ago a brainstorm on how to adapt a special set of rules to VTES, in order to make it like a RISK, at least with minions able to travel around the globe, but we kind of left it after some time ...
Cheers !
I'm back and alive... going to be spending more time around here. Onto my old world-mapping project one tree at a time...
Hey, Jugger. Hope all is well.
**For those of you wondering, my work has drastically changed and I don't get the chance to sit around read stuff online and basically answer phones... So sorry to everyone else, I'll possibly try respond to messages and finish projects when I can. **
The players were keen to introduce a lot of the spells into our campaign as I knew they would. But they didn't want to make up new characters as they are fairly attached to the ones they are playing. We discussed converting the characters to your system for a few weeks and they thought that would be interesting. So I have given them the file to look over.
We should be able to test out the higher level capabilities once we complete the conversion process. We've got five 10th-14th level and one 27th level character to convert. I am not sure how smoothly it will go but i'll keep you informed.
I am GMing on Sunday. I'm going to introduce some of your spells and I will ask the players what they think.
Got your File. I will have a good look at it this week. Have you had many people play test it?
Had a brief look at your RPG system. I like your spells ideas. I'll be expanding my campaign's magic system immediately.
http://forum.cartographersguild.com/...textures/page5 - i have the files themselves hosted at deviantart, direct links within the thread (halfway down the page). The last 2 or 3 packs were with the coffee, and I have to say I think they turned out better than with the tea.
Yes, the results have been uploaded into the aged parchment thread, give me a bit and I'll send you the link (also on my deviantart page)

Vilsack outlines the fight he would rather have. We need to make sure that the "USDA and all in agriculture and those concerned about Rural America [are able] to focus on additional research [to identify] ways in which we can adapt and mitigate and develop strategies that in the long term will allow us to continue to have the greatest agriculture in the world."
As a result, he says, the USDA is "going to continue to make a concerted effort, as we have the last several years, in developing the kind of research that will allow us to respond, to understand climate change, to understand its impact long term over the course of decades as opposed to years, and be able to provide agriculture across the United States with the information that producers will need to be more adaptive to mitigate the consequences and to be more efficient in the use of their land."
After he finished his talk, the moderator opened the floor up for questions. The first question was, "Mr. Secretary, could you say a word about SNAP's outlook, its philosophy, its demographics?"
Vilsack responded, "Now, there's a good example of a battle that we're having that is not strategic, in my view. The SNAP program, who gets it? Ninety-two percent of the people receiving SNAP are one of four people. They're either a senior citizen who played by the rules and [is] just living on a very, very small fixed income; they're a person with a disability; they're a child; or they're someone who is in the workforce working, but because of the number of hours they work or the wages they get paid, they just can't make ends meet by the end of the month. They are people [who] are playing by the rules that we care about, but we stigmatize those folks."
Politicians usually tell audiences what they want to hear. It is refreshing when one tells them what he thinks they need to hear.

WICHITA — Most people probably didn't notice when Bill Fialka took over as CEO at Associated Integrated Marketing – and that's how he liked it – but now he's gone.
"The position was eliminated," says Shawn Steward, vice president of client service and public relations.
He won't say if Fialka was fired.
"I'll let people draw their own conclusions on that."
Fialka didn't immediately return a call for comment.
Steward says the agency is restructuring. He and three other vice presidents will manage the company. They include Dave Stewart, vice president and executive creative director, Luke Gutschenritter, vice president and group account director, and Kim Weprin, vice president of finance and human resources.
"This is not a financial decision," Steward says. "This was a proactive decision to better allow us to operate more efficiently."
He says, "We essentially saw a lot of duplication of effort at the management level. We felt that by eliminating the CEO level of the agency … we're just getting the management closer to the client level and just streamlining across the board."
Steward says the agency's board of directors made the decision.
Fialka has been CEO since January 2010. He followed much more high-profile CEOs, including Mike Snyder and Bruce Rowley most recently. Fialka, though, deliberately avoided media and other attention.

I'm planning on buying the Canon 24-70mm L f2.8 lens as my everyday lens for my 7D. Need some advice as to whether I should use a UV filter (and if so which one) or not?
I have filters on my other lenses, more to protect the lens, but none of my other lenses are as good quality.
So will the filter reduce the quality of my images? Or is it worth it to protect the element?

WIP Wednesday: Guest-hosted by Cindy
I live in Central California, where the temp has been hovering around 109 degrees for way too many days. I'm self-employed as a medical transcriber, working out of my home. I have been quilting for over fifteen years, so my stash is a little, um, overwhelming at times. And I'm obsessively drawn to selvages.
This is what I've been up to the last week.
I participated in the "Picture Perfect" Polaroid Block Swap and made 22 really cute little blocks. And then forgot to take a picture of the group before mailing them off. Considering it is a swap that consists of blocks made to look like photos, that's kind of funny, right? I saved one little block for me. Isn't he cute?
This block is for Amy's "Texting While Sewing" contest. I may have taken the theme a little too literally...
Last week I was working on the backing for a quilt, and sewing together strips of leftover solids. I tried to be really careful when sewing, but when I put them on the design wall, there was a really awful curve. I took them apart, made sure everything was nice and straight, sewed them together again, and it didn't make a bit of difference. So I started from scratch and the second time everything was nice and straight. But what to do with this strip?
I chopped it off where it started curving and added black on each side. Since we were in the midst of track and field events during the Olympics, it kind of reminded me of the lanes on the track with hurdles. So I'm calling it Hurdle Jump.
I was considering a short tutorial because it is a great idea for leftover jelly roll strips of all different lengths so here it is: you just sew some strips together and add some "hurdles" here and there. Sew two long strips together side to side, from top to bottom, then add the next strip by sewing bottom to top, and keep alternating, sewing the next strip from top to bottom, the next bottom to top, until you have sewed as many strips together as you like. I think that is what helped the second set to come out nice and straight.
And finally, when I'm in avoidance/procrastination mode from other projects, I continue working on these Crown of Thorn blocks, each with Kaffe Fassett fabric. And just because I sometimes amuse myself with naming quilts, this one is called Kaffe'-O-Lait.
Okay, it's your turn! What have you been working on this week? Here are the rules for linking up to WIP Wednesday:
1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP)
2. Somewhere in your post, link back here to my blog. (Or grab my WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)
3. Comment on at least a few of the other links—because what fun is a linky party without comments?

Mammut Pulse Barryvox
It works. Have carried mine for 3 years. Replaced batteries every year though they still show 85%. Good range when tested on buried beacons. I like the one hand to turn on, two hands to turn off feature. Fits in a pocket well. Has adequate leash. Full review
Backcountry Access Tracker 2
This is such a simple transceiver to use. I'd recommend it for any recreational user. It's also commonly used by ski patrollers. This transceiver is very simple to use and that's what makes it so great. When I do practices with friends with other digital units, they seem to get hung up on other features and confused about how to interpret what the transceiver is telling them. This is due to not practicing enough, but with the Tracker 2, it is far more intuitive and even without much practice can… Full review
Ortovox D1 Doggy Transmitter
I use the Ortovox doggy transmitter 150 - 200 times a year to find my dogs below ground, and with a Strongstuff dog collar it's the most safe way to work my terriers. Full review
Backcountry Access Tracker DTS
There is a reason that this beacon is #1. It is very inexpensive and easy to use. It has a great range of up to 50 meters in my experience. It's quick and easy, and worth the money. You won't be sorry with this beacon. -mark Full review
Ortovox D3
This is one of the easiest transceivers I have ever used. With the directional lights, sound and number indicators, it makes searching simple and fast. I like the holster because it fits snugly against your body and makes it quick and easy to remove when switching to search mode. It is also easy to switch from transmit to search and has a much faster response time then some of the other brands I have tried. I highly recommend this product to all my backcountry friends. Update: March 18, 2009 Easy… Full review

The best beacon I have ever used!
