To Rule the Waves
How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World
Chapter One
Incident at San Juan de Ulloa
A Sea-man hath a valiant heart,
And bears a noble minde,
He scorneth once to shrink or start
For any stormy wind.
-- Anonymous Ballad
For three days the ships had struggled to hold their own against the hurricane. The wind out of the southeast had howled through the masts and rigging, tearing at their battered sails and smashing waves across their decks. There were five of them, sailing blind into the storm, in hour after hour of blackness. All they knew was that they were somewhere west of Cuba, and that they had to keep their ships pointed into the wind or else they could end up being thrown onto the coast of Spanish Florida. Their only guide through the perpetual darkness was the wildly tossing stern lantern of the Jesus, the flagship of their leader and commander, John Hawkins.
Storm-tossed ships: five tiny flyspecks in the midst of an empty hostile sea, and in the heart of a hostile empire. Yet without knowing it, they were about to alter history. A crucial moment had arrived in the struggle for global power. A new antagonist was about to enter the fray: England. John Hawkins's experiences over the next twelve days in September 1568 would mark the start of a century-long struggle with Spain for dominion over the New World, and also the start of the modern British navy.
No one would have been more surprised by this than John Hawkins. Thirty-five years old, small and spare, he was not a visionary but a man of action, a tough experienced mariner and the kind of man others naturally followed -- even into a three-day hurricane. He had spent every moment of those three days on deck. Rain streamed from his hair and beard as he ordered men aloft to take in sail so that the hurricane wind did not snap off a weakened mast or spar like a matchstick. At one desperate point, he had even been forced to cut away the top section of his mainmast to reduce the strain.
The Jesus was an old ship, a leaky tub with sprung timbers and a rotten hull. Now, after days of battering, she* was ready to give way completely. The carpenter came up from below and bellowed in his ear that the timbers around the stern post were about to burst. The gaps between them were so wide that fish were able to swim through into the hold, the carpenter said; if those timbers opened any wider, they would founder and sink.
This was John Hawkins's third trip into the Caribbean. His father, William Hawkins of Plymouth, was the first English merchant to gatecrash the trade monopoly Portugal and Spain enjoyed with their colonies in the New World. William Hawkins had made a fortune running goods from the Guinea coast -- the two thousand miles of African coastline from the Senegal River to the mouth of the Niger -- to Portuguese Brazil. His sons William and John had joined him on those dangerous transatlantic voyages when they were barely teenagers. But unlike his father, John Hawkins wanted more than just the occasional smuggling raid. He envisioned a regular trading network from Africa to America, with English ships offering the one commodity of which Spanish settlers could not get enough: slaves.
Slavery was a fact of life in the sixteenth century. The African slave trade was already the largest form of commerce in the world. No one had the least qualms about it, least of all Africa's own tribal rulers. It was also vital for running Spain's empire in America. Hawkins figured he could offer Spanish settlers slaves in greater quantities and at a lower price than they could get from their own merchants. Then they would pay him with the product from the New World everyone craved but which Spanish law forbade to all outsiders: gold and silver from the mines of Peru and Mexico. Once the trade got going, the Spanish colonies would flourish, England would prosper, and Hawkins would be a rich man -- the uncrowned king of the New World.
In 1562 Hawkins sought permission for his first slaving voyage from Queen Elizabeth. "The voyage I pretend," he wrote, "is to load negroes in Guinea and sell them in the West Indies in truck of gold, pearls, and emeralds." He got her tacit approval, as well as backing of a large syndicate of London merchants. In October he set out from Plymouth for Tenerife, the central island of the Canaries and gateway to Africa and America. After stopping several Portuguese slave ships off Guinea and buying or hijacking their cargo (it is unclear which), Hawkins made his way across the Atlantic to Hispaniola, the island where Christopher Columbus had landed seventy years earlier and which was now a thriving Spanish colony.
Hawkins did a brisk business with the local planters. They liked being able to buy their black labor at a fraction of the official price of one hundred ducats per head. Hawkins returned triumphantly home in August of 1563, in ships laden with gold, silver, pearls, sugar, and hides -- so much sugar and hides, in fact, that he had to hire two extra ships to carry it all. Everyone was happy, except of course the slaves (although Hawkins took better care of his expensive cargo, even outfitting them with shirts and shoes, than did slavers in later centuries), and the Spanish authorities, who had just seen their monopoly broken and their laws flouted.
Hawkins had done everything to try to accommodate and placate them even though the Spanish were Catholics and Hawkins a God-fearing Protestant. He appealed to the traditional alliance between England and Spain; he pointed out how the trade would benefit Spaniards, not just the English and himself. He had even shipped some of his goods on to Seville, so that he could pay customs just like any regular Spanish merchant (instead, the authorities seized the lot and threw Hawkins's men in prison) ...To Rule the Waves

One of the most cohesive accounts of world naval history in print.
When I hit the footnote that Constantine was born in Britain (p47) it was over.
Arthur Herman shows how a group of pirates and murchants pulled nation together and developed a system that beat everyone that was out there to end up ruling the trade and politics for more than 200 years.
In today's politically correct world we only hear of the negative aspects of imperialism and the militarism that supported it but we never are told the positive changes that also resulted from it. In To Rule the Waves Arthur Herman goes beyond the sea battles to examine the benefits that Great Britain via the Royal Navy brought to the world including the end of piracy and slave trade on the open seas. Contrary to modern propaganda, as the sole superpower for much of the 18th and 19th centuries Great Britain used its power to liberate much of the world from despotism while attempting to enforce world peace, The modern concept of Freedom of the Seas and much of the scientific achievements of the past 200-300 years would not have been possible without the dominance of the Royal Navy. As Kipling observed while seeing the endless masts of Royal Navy frigates "If such power belonged to any other nation it would have been used to enslave rather than to liberate." As for the book, To Rule the Waves is well written and interesting. Not being a Royal Navy buff, I was pleasantly surprised at how well it held my attention and I always looked forward to having the chance to continue my reading. I am so impressed with Mr. Herman's writing that I am looking forward to reading some of his other works.
First, one must be interested in the subject matter before picking up this book. As the title implies, seafaring history is the major theme, with British history generally as more of a backdrop providing context to the main events. The culture of British colonialism also plays a role, though less so. I found the concentration to be on the early stages of British expansion prior to the imperial period. The hypothesis undoubtedly is that naval superiority fueled this expansion as well as a colonial/imperial sense of self-righteous dominance. The details wane after the introduction of steam-powered, armored vessels. This is partly due to the writing style, which keeps the book moving and exciting: descriptions of sailing techniques and naval tactics as they developed between the 15th and 19th centuries. Anyone who is interested in those subjects will find this book enthralling. I know nothing of these subjects and therefore could have benefitted from illustrations of how these tactics and techniques were executed.
The book makes clear that naval tactics took a decidedly modern turn in the early 19th century during which none of the old techniques of the previous four centuries applied. It was at this point that the book sort of lost me, and it appeared to also lose interest in itself. Fortunately, this section comprises only the last 25% of the book.
Otherwise, this book was well-researched, well-written, and definintely something that could be picked up again and again for a good read, especially for those interested in seafaring techniques, naval battle tactics, and British history generally from the 15th to 19th centuries.
Ruling the waves is a salty and poetic description of how the `British navy shaped the modern world¿ by dominating the world¿s sea lanes as Arthur Herman sees it in his book To Rule The Waves. This hefty volume can¿t be digested in a sitting, or even a few, unless you can subsist on little sleep, rum and hardtack with a bit of lime thrown in to avoid scurvy. And, should you choose to read it, I would strongly suggest that you first read the 16 pages following page 648, in the Harper Perennial paperback edition. It sets the course, lays out the route, navigates you through the shallows of history and prepares you for a journey well taken. Here, history moves along and as it unfolds, men interpret events as snapshots of a bigger picture. Herman does a masterful job of connecting the dots You will not be disappointed or run aground on the shoals of specious research as you might on some other seagoing history trips. While you absorb as much as you can of this very precise historical treatise, you may come away the more informed for it. After you¿ve turned the last page, paused to let it all sink in, your perspective on history might be altered. Then again, it might not, since history is often adjusted du jour, while the men who make it stay much the same over the centuries. Herman has managed to make a cohesive story out of facts taken from the perspectives of French, Dutch, Spanish and British naval officers and politicians, to mention the major countries and players. Of course, many of the minor countries also played a role, as did below deck crews, and Mother Nature herself in inserting storms and other weather conditions that were crucial in determining battle outcomes. Limited communications of the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries created great time lapses before news of either victories or defeats could be brought home. Battles were fought, ships sunk and men died even after wars were over, before they got the word. This book gives us a truncated version of how we broke with our former ruling Empire, establishing our own country. The nuances you will discover for yourself. It gives us insights into the stories we all grew up with, including the mutiny on the Bounty, the miraculous voyages of famed Captain Cook, a laundry list of other names you will recognize, or not, and anecdotes you will treasure. Earlier, we roam the world as most of it as it was being discovered, with Herman¿s characters. And, think of this: it all happened in less than 500 years, a mere blink in history¿s sight. There¿s a treasure to be found in mining the attention to detail, a gift from authors like Herman. It¿s a long passage but well worth the journey. Finally, we learn more about the British war with Argentina, 8000 miles away in the Falklands. The world did not seem to pay much attention to that war. In a few pages, Herman gives us glimpse of both the political and military significance.
I found this book to be facinating and highly recommned it to British and American history buffs. After getting this perspective, I can not wait to return to my reading of American history with this whole new perspective.
Arthur Herman has realized an impressive tour de force in explaining how an insignificant island nation rose to world prominence at the expense of such continental superpowers as Spain, Portugal, France and the Netherlands. Herman clearly shows the essential role that the Royal Navy played in propelling Britain to the poll position in the concert of nations between the 16th and 20th centuries. Herman skillfully weaves into his narration the life and achievements of a wide cast of well-known Britons such as Francis Drake, Walter Raleigh, Queen Elizabeth I, Horatio Nelson, Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher. At the same time, Herman shines the limelight onto colorful individuals who have sunk into oblivion, despite their essential contribution to the world leadership of the Royal Navy. One can think for example about John Hawkins, John Fox, Samuel Pepys, Edward Hawke and Edward Vernon. Without the Royal Navy, Britain would have been unable to break the back of such strong personalities as King Philip II of Spain, King Louis XIV and Emperor Napoleon I of France. Without the same strong naval forces, Britain would not have been capable to secure most of its conquests around the world and played the role of international policeman. The Royal Navy also fulfilled a major role in the propagation of the ideas that have conquered the world: free markets, democracy, Anglo-Saxon culture ... and Pax Britannica (now Pax Americana). In the 20th century, Imperial Britain and its Royal Navy lost their global leadership due to a lack of means to checkmate the world ambitions of Imperial Germany and Japan. In that century, a Pax Americana superseded the Pax Britannica. American sea power has kept the world¿s sea lanes open. As Herman rightly reminds his audience, the sea remains the pillar upon which most of today¿s global trade system rests. Close to 95% of trade that crosses international borders is waterborne, as is 99.5% of the weight of all transcontinental trade. The U.S. Navy has an essential role to play not only for keeping sea lanes open, but also for deterring any irrational exuberance, especially in Southeast Asia, and bringing help to people in need after natural cataclysms or man-made disasters.
Author Arthur Herman has written an excellent book outlining the growth and development of the Royal Navy from its origins in an ad hoc group of 'gentlemen adventurers' looking for trade and plunder to a well run organization that helped create and guard the largest empire the world has yet seen. Mr. Herman not only recreates the heroic days of ships of the line trading broadsides under the command of Drake, Nelson and Jellicoe, but he also relates how the Royal Navy, as and instrument of enlightened British policies, promoted exploration, ended the slave trade and made the worlds oceans safe for commerce. I recommend it highly as a extremely interesting book.
Arthur Herman's fantastic history of the Royal Navy, 'To Rule the Waves' is a stellar history of the instutition that powered Britain to imperial grandeur. Following the RN's humble beginning western England, when its captains were little more than patriotic pirates, he moves seamlessly forward in time, to Pepys' reforms (taking on the daunting task of making bureaucracy the good guy) and ahead into the Seven Years' War. (The author is particularly strong when describing the navy's evolution as an institution, besides its ships.) He provides all necessary background information to understand the geopolitical significance of the weapon the British wielded in their duel with the French. He progresses ahead to the Napoleonic Wars, outlining various institutional changes that came along the way. Nelson comes across as slightly less grand than he usually does, (despite the author's evident attempts to the contrary) due, in large part, to the myth that has grown around him (which is well-addressed). Herman proceeds through Victoria and WWI to the end of Royal Navy dominance, where he begins to wrap up his narrative (though he does continue all the way to the Falklands in an abbreviated manner). By the time it is over, one has seen a seamless evolution of the institution that 'shaped the modern world'. Two critiques: 1. There are numerous spelling errors in here, which competent editors should have caught. 2. A glossary of naval terms would have been strongly appreciated, since Herman effortlessly tosses around nautical parlance somewhat too freely whilst describing battles like the Spanish Armada or Trafalgar. Otherwise, this is a superb history documenting a superlative institution.

After a 20-25% drop from pre-earnings levels, those who bought on margin at higher prices are going to be getting margin calls from their brokerages. The either will have to wire in money to cover the margin call or be forcibly liquidated by the brokerage.
That explains the selling on an up day (today) and more to come tomorrow/Monday. Margin calls are due 3-4 days after they were triggered. The big drop after earnings from $16+ to $13 occurred on Tuesday, so that's when margin calls were triggered.
Nooob: This isn't my imagination. Here's why:
a) The markets have been buffeted by China recently.
b) AMBA has significant exposure to China via Xiaomi.
Please explain how that is imaginary, Noob. And think before you post condescendingly to your superiors next time.
Ouch. The China collapse is worrisome.
Seems to be one reason why AMBA is down.
No position.
The Natgas cooling season is beginning with a vengeance by mid-June. Time to take profits on the shoulder season short positions and go long.
The short-favoring analysts will pan AMBA on its decreasing margins. Sales in China, while large in volume, will have lower margins.
Analysts love to diss stocks that have shrinking margins.
So, yes, AMBA could rally, but then again, the shorts could slam it.
Woof woof!
Yes, but margins are going to be under pressure this Qtr.

Facebook Inc (FB), Google Inc (GOOGL) And Twitter Inc (TWTR) Asked To Do More By French Government
By Viraj Shah in News, Tech
Published: February 23, 2015 at 1:43 am
The French government is calling tech giants at Silicon Valley led by Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) to do more in the war against extremism propaganda. French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, made the remarks on his visit to Silicon Valley, to meet representatives of some of the biggest tech companies. That are at the center of facilitating communications with millions of people around the globe.
Cazeneuve visit comes on the heels of a three-day Countering Violent Extremism Summit in Washington attended by representatives from around the globe. Terrorist networks have resorted to using platforms offered by the likes of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) and Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) for propelling their propaganda on extremism as well as for recruiting new members.
The role of the private sector in countering efforts initiated by the terrorist networks was one of the topics discussed during the high-profile summit in the wake of the Paris attacks that left 17 people dead. France interior minister claimed that 90% of people who commit terrorist attacks are usually recruited over the internet. The remarks essentially put Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB) Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Twitter Inc (NYSE:TWTR) on the spot as they offer some of the largest platforms in the world for communication.
Nice exercise in denial, but this is a HUGE sale. Most of the smaller sales you're talking about at lower prices were pre-arranged trading plans registered on SEC Form 4. In other words, the insider/seller doesn't decide when to sell.
On the contrary, this is a huge dump by an insider who DECIDED to sell a huge chunk of shares last week.
And 18% of Christians plan to REFRAIN FROM using FB & Twitter this year during LENT (40 Days).
I was thinking that might be the case as FB jumped too.
What happened?
Shorts won on that play, for sure. And they are in the driver's seat, not the longs.
SPAMMER, GO away!
Shorts have loaded up and there's no more "artificial" news to artificially drive this higher.
(the 100,000 production "in" 2015 misinterpretation of Elon's "100,000 rate by the end of 2015" can only drive this so far before the hypesters realize TSLA won't be making that many cars in 2015 total.)
Wow, a $100M increase in A/P, quarter over quarter??!!
That sure seems like they cooked the books to make the quarter look like a beat.
That said, I'm not as concerned by the 2500 unsold cars "in transit" because they had the plant closure for retooling and would have no doubt tried to build inventory.
But the A/P increase is staggeringly suspect.
Did you check from quarter-to-quarter - does it appear that they postponed paying some A/P bills to help them beat EPS estimates?
With Muskrat's smoke & mirrors, I wouldn't doubt it for a minute they cooked the books.
Yes, and note how the SLICK Muskrat states that the annualized rate of production will be 100,000 at the end of 2015. Morons interpret that to mean that TSLA will be making 100,000 cars IN 2015, but that's incorrect. They will start 2016 at that production rate (if all goes as planned).
Yes, this certainly isn't the type of quarter (Beat EPS estimates on a Fake-GAAP basis and then guide down usually causes a stock to tank the next day after earnings).
In the minutes after earnings were released, the stock traded as low as $208.72, but then foolish newbie buyers stepped in, thinking an 11c "beat" vs 4c EPS estimates is a grand occasion to buy. These AH buyers will be burned tomorrow because analysts don't have much to be upbeat about.
Analyst was baffled by the.... you didn't finish your sentence.
Can you provide your best paraphrasing of what the Deutsche Bank analyst asked: __
And what was Muskrat's response? __

Editorial Reviews
"Susan Yager has given us a delightful breeze through a century of American dietary prescriptions, from Dr. Kellogg to Michael Pollan. What to do? We still haven't figured out how to keep our food appetites to reasonable limits." ―Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies, and Public Health at New York University and author of What to Eat.
"By dissecting the aesthetic, moral and commercial basis of our obsessions with eating, The Hundred Year Diet illuminates the path to a healthier, and saner, food future." ―Brian Halweil, author of Eat Here and publisher of Edible Manhattan, Edible Brooklyn and Edible East End
"Worries over overeating, as Susan Yager interestingly reminds us in "The Hundred Year Diet," preoccupied the public long before Americans en masse became so massive...Ms. Yager's bite-sized chapters are easy and pleasant to digest as she takes us through America's fat-fighting history, from its now comical-seeming beginnings through the wild pendulum swings of the late 20th century (when carbohydrates and fats alternated as public enemy No. 1) to the promise of the fat-substitute Olestra (with its regrettable intestinal consequences) and today's gastric bypass surgery for the severely obese." ―Meghan Cox Gurdon, The Wall Street Journal
"A fascinating read." ―Abigail Zuger, M.D., The New York Times
"Far-reaching, well-researched survey of America's fascination with diets." ―Peggy Brown, Newsday

That being said I will admit that this is the last book I expected to be un-put-downable. Honestly, Susan Yager writes very matter of fact, but the topic is so touchy on both a psychological and emotional basis that quite often it reads like a thriller. Yager narrows down her topic by limiting it to the 20th century and the U.S. but clearly had she explored this from an international perspective she would still be writing.
We all know from our own personal experience with our bodies and an often contentious relationship with what we eat how we feel at any given time of the day. What was shocking for me, was my awareness of this expanding past myself and immediate family/friends to our Nation as a whole. I also found myself mortified by our rather passive search and acceptance of experimental Diet and fitness programs. From Kellogg & Graham to Atkins & South Beach as well as the eternally pervasive veganism, despite our very serious urge to be thin and healthy, we are willing to put ourselves in some very frightening regimens. Often ingesting substances that are toxic or create a toxic situation within our bodies.
What I found remarkable was the 100 year debate/struggle between actual science and the psuedo-science theory between actual practicing physicians! Quite often my jaw was on the floor while reading this. I highlighted passages so that I would remember them exactly when sharing data with others.Read more ›
There is nothing new in the dieting world. Whether it is Atkins, Pritikin, South Beach, Slimfast, Weight Watchers, the Grapefruit Diet or Dr. Oz, Yeager lays out the history of each dieting movement while explaining how we rush to embrace each repackaged presentation of old and unappealing ideas. Often our most certain diet 'knowledge' is based in no scientific grounding at all. The basic rule of eat fresh food in moderation cannot equal the allure of science providing us magical solutions. Our current situation, chemical laden factory produced food lacking in taste and nutrition may be a direct result of our fascination with fad dieting. Like the person with the tombstone reading "I told you I was sick" America can now say "we told you we were fat." We've forgotten not only what food should fill our plate, but also how that food should naturally taste.Read more ›

Company responds to employee's viral 'I quit' video
When you make a video announcing you're quitting your job, you should consider the type of company you're quitting.
Marina Shifrin's video informing Next Media Animation that she was leaving went viral in a hurry. It's garnered millions of views in a short time.
But what no one saw coming was the company's response. Rather than sending out a measured response or simply not commenting, NMA made a response video with one simple message: "We're hiring."
NAM did point out that it wished Shifrin well, but in the battle of employer versus former employee, I'm handing this one to NMA. They have a pool.
(Warning: The song in the video contains some mildly vulgar language.)

After staying in smaller hotels and national park lodges, the Diria does come as a bit of a cultural shock. It is very large and very busy. The good news is its location right on the beach, clean rooms, despite earlier reviews plenty of towells and face cloths including two pool towels despite issuing us with tickets to get more from the poolside. There is more than adequate storage space for clothes, both drawers and wardrobe. A nice view over the pool from our room. Also the beach is huge and sandy with some rocks for looking for crabs and shells and is also great for surfers - although we are not. The staff without exception were all polite and happy and greeted you each time you passed them. The staff at the beachside restaurant were very attentive and service was fast. However in the main restaurant at breakfast, due to the large number of people there, service with hot drinks could have been faster. There are three pools plus a small childrens pool. We found the best one was the newest one which is across the road near the new block of rooms. This was exceptionally clean and often we were the only people there. All of the grounds and gardens were well kept and constantly watered. Often to cross the road, the guard would stop the traffic for you. Reception were very helpful when we discovered we had lost something at a previous hotel. The bell boy arrived as requested and we had a letter through our door the day before we left telling us our transport time to the airport.
The bad news is that you do have to cross a busy road if you are the other side from the ocean. There is no fridge in the room to keep drinks cool. Also as mentioned in an earlier report there are teething troubles with the new rooms in the new block where we were. There was a strong smell of sewerage in our bathroom that drifted into our room. Some in our group asked to move, but we defeated the smell by putting a soaked face cloth over the drainage holes in the shower tray where the smell was coming from. When you flushed the toilet, you could hear the water from it running under the shower drain and it seemed that there was no trap of any kind under the shower drain to pevent smells from coming up through it? Also workmen were still working on this block, although not much of a problem. There was also the same strong smell on the path from the room towards the road. The bar at the pool nearest our room was not manned until noon, so no chance of a drink until then unless you went elsewhere. At night the guards seemed to have a two-way radio switched on and the transmissions could be a nuisance in the quiet of the night. The wake-up call of the howler monkeys was better!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

5 Fun, Family Events Scheduled Friday Night In Downtown Billings
With Thanksgiving fast approaching we are reminded that downtown Billings will come alive this Friday with an evening of family fun and Christmas spirit.
With Thanksgiving fast approaching we are reminded that downtown Billings will come alive this Friday with an evening of family fun and Christmas spirit.
Ho, ho, ho-ly cow, this is terrifying.
It's not even Thanksgiving but Rimrock Mall is already gearing up for Santa's arrival. The big man will arrive next Saturday, November 17 at 9:30a.m. for the Lil' Buckaroo Breakfast.
Get ready to rock at Fix @ 6 on Friday! This week the party moves to Santa Fe Red's at 1223 Grand Avenue with live music from Repeat Performance! Not only will you enjoy the great music but some great specials too!
Dozens of men and women donned Santa garb on a blistery cold New York City weekend, jumped into sleighs (i.e. taxi cabs) and headed toward naughty places to drink, drank and drunk. Their holiday-spirited peers in San Francisco also did all of the above, except naked. All in the name of a world record.
From the "WOW you're a buzz-kill" file: Long Island University professor Dr. George Giuliani claims in his book "No More Bullies at the North Pole" that the 1964 animated classic "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is crammed full of negative behavior like an overflowing sack of gifts flung over the back of Jolly Old Saint Nick.

Mod Life and Mod Mom Take HB2 Stand—Pull Out of High Point Market
Mod Life and Mod Mom Take HB2 Stand—Pull Out of High Point Market
Mod Brands—Mod Life Collection and Mod Mom Furniture—Cancel Plans to Exhibit in April
PHILADELPHIA, March 29, 2016 – Mod Life Collection, co-founded by 30-year industry veteran, Robert Petril, and Kiersten Hathcock, ABC's Shark Tank survivor and founder of sister company, Mod Mom Furniture, made the decision to withdraw from exhibiting at the upcoming High Point Market trade show in April.
"Like so many of our friends and colleagues in the industry, we were shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of HB2," said Petril, CEO and co-founder of Mod Life Collection. "Both Kiersten and I are people who greatly value diversity and inclusion and feel strongly, given the position we are in, we need to take a stand."
Mod Life Collection has exhibited at High Point Market since April 2015 and prior to HB2, planned to showcase new designs as well as launch Mod Mom branded sofas next month at the spring exhibition. The Mod Mom Furniture upholstery launch will now debut after Market.
"As entrepreneurs who have struggled to support our families in the past, we thought long and hard about the ramifications of standing up for equality in this way—not just for our own brands, but for the many families in North Carolina who depend on Market traffic to feed their families," Hathcock said. "We ultimately decided that we cannot support discrimination. It is our hope that our industry, which greatly impacts North Carolina's economy, will join together in various ways to support diversity, inclusion and human compassion."
Mod Life Collection and Mod Mom Furniture are solely manufactured in the U.S. Production for both modern furniture brands is bi-coastal, with factories in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Ohio and California.
"From the time I was 19-years-old working in a North Carolina upholstery factory, until now, I have seen progress on many fronts," added Petril. "But HB2 is a serious step in the wrong direction not only for the state and the furniture industry, but for every single one of us. I'm personally hoping North Carolina will get on the right side of history. Until then, we at Mod Life and Mod Mom, will continue to monitor the situation and will evaluate our plans for future exhibitions in High Point."
About Mod Life Collection
Mod Life Collection was founded by industry veteran, Robert Petril, and self-made furniture designer, Kiersten Hathcock, on a search for furniture that people would truly love. After three decades of success in furniture manufacturing, retailing and sales, Petril stripped off his tie and followed his passion for creating things. Shortly after he joined forces with Hathcock, founder of internationally known juvenile furniture line, Mod Mom Furniture. As CEO of Mod Life Collection, Petril spearheads bringing to life his vision that incorporates multiple design perspectives to create furnishings that are fun, exciting and desirable.

In the sea of the same...
As the lead designer at Mod Life collection, I often get asked, why don't we just do our version of what sells the most out there. My answer is always the same. That's why furniture is not important enough! There is a sea of the same brown couches out there! We're about putting the passion back into relaxing and living at home.
Color changes everything! It stimulates us. It rejuvenates us, and elevates our moods. It's real simple. We believe that furniture should be and can be fun. And we're designing some of the coolest places to sit on the planet! Check out what we're up to at modlifecollection.com

A very special message from Mod Mom...
Mod Mom Kiersten Parsons just published a very important message...
"If you've been to our website recently, you'll see many items out of stock due to a change in manufacturing that's occurring. BUT before that change is complete, I'm going back into the wood shop for a limited time only, with family and Mod Rob to produce some very special custom, limited edition toy boxes! The "Owyn" will be up for sale in June along side several others that will include custom color choices, hand signed by me, and a few special extra surprises! Stay tuned for more details and how to purchase! (and let me know if you're interested in one that we currently are out of stock on)" - Kiersten
Yup! Mod Mom is going back into the wood shop one last time to build a very special signed and numbered limited edition series of her famous hand made toy boxes! And, I've been lucky enough to get invited to go with her to help with this very cool limited series. So excited! I'm sure it has nothing to do with my badass tools or anything ;) Seriously, it's an amazing honor for me to work by her side on this, and it's a huge and rare opportunity for everyone to get one of her creations! This could actually be the last chance ever to get a custom signed, and numbered toy box made by Mod Mom's hands! To top it all off, part of the proceeds will benefit some amazing causes. Much more information coming soon!
Please share this post and help us spread the word! And, you can keep up with all the latest details on what will be available, and how to purchase on Facebook and modmomfurniture.com
Hope you're having a very mod day!
A very special message from Mod Mom...

A little bit about the journey...
|High Point, NC 2014
My father was a sales rep in the furniture business. As a child of the industry who was writing messages on the chalkboard in the kitchen (right before answering machines) for my father from retail salespeople, my destiny was set very early.
My professional path started in the factories. I worked in every department from the lumberyard to the loading dock. Then I went onto floor sales in a furniture store. From there, I eventually became a sub-rep, a lead-rep, and finally a top ranked VP for the largest leather furniture manufacturer in the world.
|Altamura, Italy 2003
Over 10 years ago when I ripped off my tie, and left the world of sales to follow my true passion in creating things, the journey to the Mod Life Collection began. Now, the mission is very simple, to break every paradigm that makes sense to break. To follow a new vision of fun and exciting new products that people will clamor for. We live on our couches. And yes, we do call them couches!
So now the long wondrous journey has brought me to the beginning of a whole new one. Mod Life Collection launches in less than two weeks. I can't believe it's finally here! Let's Rock!

No Girls Allowed! (Nor anyone else for that matter!)
Whenever I hear it said that the "Boy's Club" still rules and "women need not apply," I feel compelled to share my experiences in this industry. It's true, if you walk into most showrooms in High Point during the beginning of the Furniture Market, you will find a huge group of older men in their new market ties getting ready for the sales meetings. Soon the company leaders (mostly all men) will get up and address the sales force. He will tell them why these products will sell and give them the marching orders for the upcoming season. Some of those leaders will even talk about how more women are needed in influential positions in our industry. I've heard the same empty rhetoric for 30 years now! The problem is, some say it because they believe it, and some because they think it's the right thing to say and it makes them look more progressive. However, they're still saying this to a huge group of aging men. Some in really great ties, too. But the truth is there's no plot against women or anyone else. The only plot is to desperately keep their jobs.
To begin to go to the core of the problem we have to back up and understand how this industry was built. I, myself, am a perfect example of how the industry has evolved. I'm a pure nepotistic traveler into the wide world of furniture. My father is a retired 50 year veteran of the industry, and he brought me in through the worm hole called "who you know." Here's the dirty little secret. In the good ole days, you didn't have to possess the truly applicable talent nor education to make a lot of money in the furniture business. You needed to have a father in it! Then you needed to learn to talk the talk and take the right people to lunch without saying something stupid. And to this day, the same crop of individuals cultivated over the decades is still in many of the same positions. The only difference now is they are holding on for dear life! So few are there because of their training or deep connection to what really applies to today's home or the real consumers' design sensibilities.
Women of the industry please listen carefully. You are the primary consumers of our products. These jobs are there for your taking! The "Boys Club" is weak. Actually, it doesn't really even exist at all. A club implies organization and a team working together for a cause. Trust me, most of their wives still pick their ties! They can't compete with you head to head. You got this! The biggest obstacle today is the fear, insecurity, and the misunderstandings stemming from the years of the smoke and mirror show perfection.

They can't compete with you head to head. You got this! The biggest obstacle today is the fear, insecurity, and the misunderstandings stemming from the years of the smoke and mirror show perfection.
The reality is, the industry is ripe for takeover on every level. And, it has to be on every single level. If we really look around, there are some amazing bright spots and real progress is happening. Take a look at Meredith Younger at Younger Furniture. She's leading a great upholstery company and she's kicking ass and taking names! Watch Julia Rosien leading the charge at Restonic. Take a look at "Mod Mom" Kiersten Hathcock, founder of Mod Mom Furniture. She went into her garage and taught herself carpentry (another traditional "man job") and starting building furniture by hand. She's now blazing a path for all women from the sawdust on her garage floor, to an internationally known brand that connects deeply and directly with how our consumers live.
Wait it gets even worse! To even begin changing recruitment efforts we have to address another huge core problem. It's the investment in Research and Design. When money goes into R&D, students and young talented women and men have something with which (and for) to work. But that's a whole other critical subject. Bottom line is, the world has changed. We need a real gender, age, cultural, and investment balance. We need new talent and new blood in our industry and we better hurry! We've been behind for decades and the world is only moving faster and faster. So, women, men, gays, straights, and green Martians, let's go to the core and make things happen one bite at a time. Because if we don't our kids will soon be sitting on their new Apple and Samsung sofas!
No Girls Allowed! (Nor anyone else for that matter!)

Tai Kung Lu
|Photo by Robert Petril
These walls are located in a back alley near a place I loved and frequented when I was living there. A street called Tai Kung Lu. A place where you can find many artist's studios, outdoor cafes, quaint little restaurants, and boutiques. It was one of my favorite inspirational hangouts.
|Tai Kung Lu (Photo by Robert Petril)
Back to the photo at the top. While the contrast of the two walls coming together is so beautiful, the stucco represented the norm or the way everyone says things should be. The brick on the other hand displays a wonder of texture, depth, variance, and contrast within itself. It's much more beautiful to me. The multitude of flaws make it feel much more authentic than the stucco to the left.

Mix It Up: Your Artwork Doesn't Have to Match the Sofa
There's nothing better than finding the perfect piece of furniture for your home. It's comfortable, it fits the dimensions of your space, and best of all, it fits your personality. But sometimes it can be a struggle to find artwork to match your furniture.
The solution? Don't worry about matching! Here's a little design secret: There are no rules that say that your art has to perfectly coordinate with your interiors in color, size, or aesthetic. In fact, when your artwork has an oddity to its size, or is displayed in a nontraditional way, or even if the subject is unexpected, that's what makes your home a real home!
Your artwork should reflect you, your personality, your family, and your lifestyle in a way that creates a treasured home environment. Here are a few ways to bring the unexpected into your home art gallery.
Break away from the traditional. Remember when artwork would always be hung according to rigid standards? You may have chosen a patterned sofa or set of chairs and tried to find art in the same color palette. However, there are plenty of ways to style a look without being overly matchy-matchy. Imagine a black-and-white striped chair with a bright red and orange abstract print above, for example. Colors can be complementary, or you could have just one color in common to tie it all together.
Stay under budget. Just because you sprang for an investment rug doesn't mean you have to buy an original painting to match. No matter how nice your furniture is, you can find inexpensive artwork to match. Instead of choosing a pricey painting, why not display your favorite prints? Calendars are a great source for multiple prints that can be arranged together using uniform frames. It's really all about expressing your unique style so that when you look at it all together, you can't help but smile.
Choose your locations wisely. It's a good idea to consider the function of each room before deciding which art will live in it. Start out by grouping your artwork together and determining which rooms you want to display which pieces. If you're worried that small children or rowdy guests will disturb your artwork, consider pieces that are not breakable for common areas. A few long hanging wires spray-painted with plastic coating or a grouping of long picture shelves could hold your children's favorite books or Lego creations. Or if the kids are older, you can pair artwork from your latest travels with cherished photos of your kids to give your room a new focal point.
Add an air of eclecticism with a gallery wall. The great thing about gallery walls is that they fit in with just about any décor. If you have boxes of treasures hidden away, look through them and pick out meaningful pieces to display, from your kids' artwork to favorite family photos and beloved prints. Think outside-the-box by mixing colors and patterns. Robert's own bright and multicolored furniture designs work so well with a mix of old and new accessories, and a gallery wall is the perfect way to accomplish that look.
Make your kids the star of the show. Family photos look great anywhere when done with style. Skip the photo studio and have a few of your favorite snapshots printed as over sized black-and-white photos… perhaps one of each family member sticking out their tongue out or blowing out their cheeks? This look is so much more personal than posed studio shots and will remind you of special times together.
So, if you think your artwork has to match your furniture perfectly, then consider these ideas to give your interiors a fresh look. You will never look at artwork the same!

It's a Mod Mod World!
The second quarter of this year has been a whirlwind! And life changing as well! On June 1st, I officially joined Mod Mom Furniture as president, and a whole new journey had began. You can read some more details about the announcement at Furniture Today, and Kids Today.
|New York: Moon Ho, Robert Petril, and Kiersten Parsons Hathcock
Since we joined forces, Mod Mom/CEO Kiersten Parsons Hathcock and I have traveled to over 15 cities from coast to coast. Our mission has been to study the market up close and personal, and to spread the Mod Word about what's coming new in the near future. Along the way we saw so many awesome things, and met with so many amazing and inspiring people!
Now we're rolling up our sleeves, and beginning a very ambitious expansion at Mod Mom Furniture. The plan is to strengthen our manufacturing capabilities, as well as introduce some very exciting new youth products and categories. We're designing now, and the pencils are flying! We can't wait to share it all with you as the journey continues, and the new products come to life. I'm going to try and blog as much of the process as I can.
|Las Vegas, Lexington: Robert Petril, Kiersten Parsons Hathcock, & Tommy Leflein

20 yr old TB mare with two different feet
This is so typical to see in horses! One foot is very upright and "clubby" while the other is flat and either under-run or foundered. The trick is to get the contracted foot to open up while getting the flat foot to tighten up it's connection. With this mare, both feet were almost dead with very little blood circulation from years of shoes and contraction. She was very shut down and depressed with poor conditioning. This photo was taken BEFORE trimming. The clubby foot has a very contracted coffin bone that probably has a lot of bone loss.
After a few trims
Still apparent is the difference in the two feet. Since this horse has only had a couple of trims, she is still in the beginning stages of transition to health. But she has already improved in her attitude and movement.
