I've been a freelance artist most of my adult life, primarily doing illustration, but also graphic design - from book covers to corporate ID, brochures and billboards, t-shirts and web design, comics and animation. I also do leather masks and sculptures, some of which will eventually show up here.
All my work is copyright, please do not use it without permission.
Commercial Work:
Clients looking for work for publication should email me with a brief description of the job, and the proposed deadlines. Ask for a quote, or tell me what your budget is, and I'll try to work within it. I usually license specific publication rights, and don't generally do work-for-hire or all-rights deals, though I'll consider them if the price is right.
Private Commissions:
Email me with a detailed description of what you want, and how you propose to use it, and I'll respond with a quote. I usually prefer to retain print publication rights (if you want to publish it on paper, or sell digital copies, you're in the commercial client category), but as a private client, you're free to post your own commissions on the web, as long as you're not making high resolution copies available for download. If your commission is for fan art or game characters, I may ask you to provide me with reference. Don't assume I'm familiar with your favorite game, movie or comic. As you can see from my galleries, I work in a variety of mediums and styles, digital and traditional. If you have a preference for one style over other, traditional or digital, please say so.
I'm aware that private clients usually don't have the resources that publishers and ad agencies do, so I try to keep my fees for private works reasonable, while still providing high quality work. For that reason, private commissions may take a little longer than commercial work It's like the old saying, "You can have it fast, cheap, or good - pick two." As with commercial clients, if you've already got a budget, tell me, and I'll let you know what I can do for you within that price.
Masks & Sculptures:
There are prints of images of some of my masks and sculptures available here; if you want to purchase actual real world masks or sculptures, please visit the Shapeshifter website. Some of the masks you see here may be for sale there, and custom mask and sculpture work is always available.

Preview Schedules
Complimentary Course Preview (Oct 10, 2016 SUN @ 10.00AM)
About Our PreviewsOur free complimentary preview sessions allow you, a new customer to come to our physical location to see, touch and handle some actual knitting and crochet projects as well as an opportunity for you to participate in a Q and A session regarding our knitting and crochet coursework approach.
What to expect from our knitting and crochet previews:
- Takes slightly over an hour (unless you have lots of questions to ask!)
- Are only available to female customers.
- Are complimentary; i.e. free-of-charge.
- Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. (We have limited seats per session to better serve you.)
- Are compulsory attendance for customers who are interested to learn more or wish to sign up for our knitting/crochet class.
- Upon registration, the actual preview address will be provided via SMS to your mobile indicated in your registration confirmation closer to the preview date. Please do ensure you provide a valid mobile number we can reach you on.
* Kindly register only if you are certain you would be attending -- we thank you for your kind consideration for others. Each time someone registers only to cancel or do a no-show last minute means another person is being deprived of their opportunity to attend our monthly previews which have limited seatings.
* Please check your session dates and timing very carefully as they differ.
* A course preview is NOT AN ACTUAL LESSON - there'll be no knitting or crochet instructions during the session.
* We publish preview session dates as and when we have capacity -- please do not ask if we can organize a private session just for you.

I'm finally doing it...
I'm sharing our "list".
Because ... its fairly likely that we are "done".
Awk! That hurt to write!
But, even if we weren't we'd not be able to use every name on our list anyway... right?
With four beautiful baby girls these were the names that didn't make it (for various reasons). Because, my husband doesn't like long or very "flowery" names like I do. He likes things more "honest" and simple. So we went with Adelynn, Cora, Thea Agnes and Whitley. Which were my favorites anyway!
You all know how much I love baby names! And this is really "my list" and has a lot of the names that were vetoed by you-know-who.
So, with out further ado...
The Best Girl Name List EVER!
Alaida - "Laida" - Little wings
Alice - Nobel
Amiris - Given by God
Anora - Grace
Beatrice "Bea" - Bringer of joy!
Colette - "Lettie" - Victorious
Della - Bright
Docia - (Doe-SHE-uh) - Given to God
Elodie - "Loddie" or "Elle" - Foreign riches
Elouisa - "Lou" "Louisa" - God is my warrior
Elora - God is my light
Fairyn - Fair faced child
Favour - God's rich favor
Gracyn - God's grace
Gail - Exaltation
Glory - God's glory
Hadassah - "Haddie", "Dassa" - Myrtle Tree
Hazel - Hazel tree
Isanna - (Is-ZAN-uh) - A variant of Hosanna - God is Praised!
Ivy - Resilient plant
Iris - Purple flower
Jane - "Janie" - God's gracious gift
Jovia - "Jovy" - Joyful
Laurel or Laurelle - "Laure" - Victorious
Lizette - "Ettie" "Lizzy" - my God is bountiful
Lucille - "Lu" "Lucy" "Cille" - light
Maesie - "Mae" - Pearl
McCay - Daughter of fire
Mercy - God is merciful.
Milly - Short for Camille - Servant in the temple.
Miriam - Wished for child or bitter.
Molly - Wished for child
Opal - Precious gem
Prossy (short for Proscovia) - Ancient of days (my interpretation)
Sparrow - Little bird
Viola - Violet

Red Cedar Lodge, located in Squaw Creek Park, was originally constructed in 1975 to be used as a ski lodge in the winter - supporting the adjacent lighted ski hill operation at the time. The ski hill operation ceased in the early 1980s, and the lodge has been on our year-round reservation schedule ever since. In 2016, the old lodge was replaced with facility you see today. It is extremely popular for graduation events, family gatherings, smaller, intimate weddings & wedding receptions, corporate gatherings, etc.

Decorations are allowed as long as they are free standing or not affixed in a manner that would damage a facility or any painted walls (tape, tacks, staples can cause damage to walls. The use of a no-stick adhesive is recommended). Special care should be taken with balloons so that they do not "escape".

Your search for "AP2A1" returned 39 siRNAs
adaptor related protein complex 2 alpha 1 subunit
This gene encodes the alpha 1 adaptin subunit of the adaptor protein 2 (AP-2) complex found in clathrin coated vesicles. The AP-2 complex is a heterotetramer consisting of two large adaptins (alpha or beta), a medium adaptin (mu), and a small adaptin (sigma). The complex is part of the protein coat on the cytoplasmic face of coated vesicles which links clathrin to receptors in vesicles. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding two different isoforms. A third transcript variant has been described, but its full length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Imagine a place where we passed on our things every day. We didn't sit around with full pantries, closets, or attics, but instead cleaned out and passed on every night before bed. Imagine the cleansing we would do, and the new opportunities that would arrive right on our door steps!
I am pretty sure I am a break in this circle, but how I would love to mend my broken piece.
Please pray for us my friends. Please pray that the spirit of generosity will rise up in our souls like a burning fire, and there will be nothing that will quench this desire of ours but to give, give and give!

Kan Geiko means "Winter Practice," and it's a long-established exercise in traditional Japanese budo. Often involving periods of extended and intensive training during the coldest time of the year, it's designed to challenge, strengthen, and purify both mind and body. The SMAA Kan Geiko will offer high-level instruction in Kodokan judo, Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu iaido, and Sato Ryu Nihon jujutsu. You can experience all three arts or choose to focus on just one.
Sato Ryu Nihon jujutsu training will be offered on December 16, 17, and 18. Practice will take place from 6:00 to 9:00 PM each day.
Kodokan judo training will be offered on December 21, 22, and 23. Practice will take place from 6:00 to 9:00 PM each day.

He holds the following SMAA ranks: seventh dan iaido, sixth dan judo, and fourth dan jujutsu. He received extensive training in these three martial arts while living in Japan for several years.
How Much:

Injured Cusack out of England ODI
Ireland will be without the experience of Alex Cusack when they take on England next month, after the allrounder was ruled out with a back injury. He has been rested from domestic cricket in recent weeks but will not be fit for the September 3 ODI.
Cusack has played 50 ODIs for Ireland, taking 52 wickets with his right-arm medium pace to go with 679 runs at 22.63. He shared a sixth-wicket stand of 162 with Kevin O'Brien, scoring 47, during Ireland's famous victory over England in Bangalore at the 2011 World Cup.
"It's certainly disappointing for Alex to miss the game as he's an important player for us, particularly in the Powerplays," Ireland's coach, Phil Simmons, said. "However, we have strength in depth now and it'll give one of the other guys a chance to shine. We are blessed with a number of very talented allrounders so have plenty of cover in that department."
The match against England will mark the opening of Ireland's redeveloped ground at Malahide, which has had its capacity increased to 11,000. With three weeks to go, tickets are still available on the Cricket Ireland website but well over half of the allocation has already been sold and Simmons said that anticipation was building.
"We've seen just how well the tickets have gone with over 7,000 sold already," Simmons said. "It's going to the biggest match ever held in Ireland, and there will be a fantastic atmosphere at the new international venue at Malahide. It's my home town and I know just how much of a buzz there is around the place to have the Ashes winners coming here. It'll be a magnificent occasion, and hopefully we'll give the Irish fans another day to remember."
Despite losing to Ireland in a record run chase at the last World Cup, England have won on each of their four visits to play ODIs. As in 2009, England will arrive in Ireland having won the Ashes - and on that occasion their winning margin was just three runs in a rain-affected game.

Tyson Fury has come back down from Big Bear. He was training at high altitude, but is now settled at Freddie Roachs gym in Los Angeles. They certainly came down sooner from Big Bear than they intended, but thats purely because of the altitude.
Ben Davison knows best, and coming back down to train at sea level is a huge boost after being up so high. Tyson is pleased with the work done up there. Hes looking good, hes been sparring well. Hes in a brilliant frame of mind and he seems very happy.
The fight is a month away so its a good time to start the final stretch of preparation, hes bang on at the moment. Lawrence Okolie is with team Tyson at the moment, and hes getting excellent reviews from the boys. Hes given Tyson some really good sparring.
Advertisement Advertisement
Okolie has those long arms and the punches that can come from nowhere. Tyson feels hes the closest thing he could get to the unorthodox style of Wilder.
More: Boxing
Were working with everyone to finalise the undercard for December 1 and what the boxing fans can look forward to are some great names from the UK on what should be a memorable night in Los Angeles.
Tyson has done a lot of media and Im pleased to see him open up and be so genuine. Were seeing the real Tyson Fury now. When Tyson speaks now, its from the heart and were seeing a really genuine side. Ive listened to him speak about how training has helped him come out of the dark place he was in before.
Hes even said he may have to continue training forever, but to be honest that can be almost worrying to hear. Boxing can be like a dependency, the same way drugs or alcohol can be. Tyson enjoys boxing, and I hope he knows there are other roles in boxing when his fighting career ends.
There are so many fighters who find it difficult to adjust in retirement, but Tyson has got a brilliant boxing brain and knowledge, hes like a historian of boxing. At the end of the career, I hope hell find a role in the sport.
Advertisement Advertisement
Hes articulate and he reads fights well. Its great hes got his enthusiasm and flavour for boxing back, but I dont want him to become a boxing junkie. This fight with Wilder is going to be incredible and one that everyone is looking forward to.
Theyre talking about Anthony Joshua rematching Dillian Whyte at Wembley in April. Really? Im not sure about that. Two of the top three heavyweights are fighting on December 1, the other has booked a slot at Wembley next year and hes talking about fighting Whyte.
The objective should be for all three to be fighting each other as soon as possible, and anything else is stopping the fans seeing some truly memorable fight nights.
Fury could go toe-to-toe with Wilder
Everyone thinks Wilder is a one-trick pony, but Tyson cant underestimate him. Wilder is a much better fighter than people give him credit for. It seems like hes got a good chin, he showed that in the Luis Ortiz fight. Ive watched lots of his fights very closely. Hes awkward yes, but one thing hes got is speed. Tysons got speed too.
I just feel Tyson might take the fight to him. Everyones got in their mind how this fight will be, Wilders going to come looking for the big punches and Tysons going to be on the back foot and try to outbox him.
But, I feel it could turn into a fight from the beginning. Somebody is going to try and stamp their authority on the fight and Tyson can have a fight with anyone. He can stand his ground, hes got a good chin himself and lets not forget hes 6 ft 9 and unlike anything Wilder has ever come up against!
You would think the sensible thing is for Tyson is to go out there, work behind the jab and take Wilder into the latter rounds. But we never know with Tyson, hes so unpredictable and thats why hes dangerous.
Look at what he did to Dereck Chisora. He did a complete job on Chisora and fought southpaw for a lot of that fight. Eddie Hearn says Tyson is the most boring fighter to watch, but hes promoting Whyte against Chisora.
Look at what Tyson did to Chisora. He never lost a second of any round. Dereck was coming in off of five good wins and Tyson took him to school. Broke him up, took him apart and Chisora had to pull out eventually. And that was in 2014, Chisora was at the peak of his powers then.
Box office wars
Speaking of Whyte and Chisora, I was incredibly disappointed to see Matchroom announce their rematch on the same night as Josh Warrington vs Carl Frampton on Box Office. Its ridiculous, it really is.
Its disrespectful to the fans. Manchester City and Manchester United dont play at the same time in the Premier League, do they? Its a stupid situation and I cant see who wins out of this. You just split an audience, and the boxers will lose out on pay-per-view buys. Thats a major loss for all four boxers involved.
What we have in Warrington v Frampton is a clash between two of the very best in the world at their weight class and that is really becoming our mantra with PPV on BT Sport Box-Office. What were not about is putting second tier, inconsequential fights on PPV for the sake of it. It is disrespectful to Josh and Carl and, to a certain extent, Whyte and Chisora, who are being used.
While Whyte-Chisora is a decent fight, Sky customers need to ask what they are getting for their subscriptions if this event is deemed to be PPV. It wasnt so long ago that Hearn pledged to have a world title fight on regular Sky pretty much every week, but I believe the last male to fight for a world title on a UK show was over a year ago.
Since we announced our deal with BT we have put on 12 world title fights, with half a dozen interims, with big stadium shows including Fury, Frampton and Warrington. All on linear subscription TV.
Bellew needs to upset the odds again
One man who has certainly proven himself is Tony Bellew. Hes done so well for himself. The first fight he had with David Haye was another underdog story. He was a big underdog for me going into that one and hes an even bigger one for this one.
Oleksandr Usyk is a real quality operator. Usyk wants to go up to heavyweight, no doubt about that. Well see what he looks like against Bellew, but hed be a great addition to the heavyweight scene. Tyson and Usyk would be fascinating down the road. The bookies rightly make Usyk the heavy favourite in what should be a well watched fight this weekend, but Bellew has pulled out punches before and won against the odds.
Mayweathers short-lived return
Floyd Mayweathers comeback was so off the wall, I still dont understand it. I dont think anyone should buy the illusion Mayweather was blindsided. My guess is that he may have had a change of heart – but one thing you have to admire about Mayweather is that he is the greatest self-promoter in sport and knows how to make money.
Perhaps this is all a game for something bigger down the road. The whole thing was bizarre, and as a big fan of Mayweather Ive no real interest in seeing him in a kickboxing match… although Im sure people would buy it! Its such an odd situation to be in, even for him. At a press conference announcing a fight in Japan with a kickboxer? Thats strange even by his standards.

1. This Conference deals with the subjects of ethical and cultural interest which are crucial for our present day society where well being is of primary interest. In fact, sports and tourism are phenomena which are growing in size and importance. They have reached a level of importance that had never been reached before this.
Leisure time is increasing and consequently so are the occasions of playing
sports or travelling. These are typical phenomena of this progressive period,
and they require careful consideration.
2. Today, sports, along with tourism, are social and cultural phenomena anchored to ancient values and are essential for human beings. These values must be protected from deleterious influences such as intolerance, doping, excessive commercialization, the present-day utilitarian tendencies, and evident private interests which aim at reducing sports to a mere show.
During this conference we have to underline the educational values found in
practicing sports.
This formation can offer the community strong, well-balanced, well-prepared personalities who can reach other positive goals.
In this way, sports, as well as tourism, becomes a vehicle for comparison and dialogue between young people involved in these fields.
Therefore, sports and tourism are efficient tools for teaching young people, in their period of human and social formation, respect of the fundamental values of man.
3. It is fundamental to underline the importance of the role that the adults
involved in tourism and sports hold. It is a job that requires a great amount of
preparation and professionality.
At the same time it is necessary to come up with a more transparent image of the sports world. Therefore it is necessary to have a true sports culture, because the dominating disciplines condition the way of thinking and the way of speaking of the community.
Therefore, so as to reconstruct a cultural web that makes up the necessary connection between sports and society, sports and educational traditions, and sports and ethics, it is necessary to carefully examine these phenomena which then require a revision. This is an intention deeply shared by those who sincerely love sports and tourism, but want them freed from episodes of negligence, corruption, violence, and discrimination.
The contribution that this assembly is offering towards this obligation will not leave the people working in this field indifferent, since their work consists of sharing the healthy values of sports and tourism.
Thank you for your attention!

Private Finance Initiatives known to politicians and those in the financial sector as PFIs are the buzz word of the moment. We have the Australians to thank for the concept but they have also been widely used by the British and Canadian governments as well as in Europe. Whilst the initial buzz was positive it has now been become annoying as a demented wasp. This has led to the House of Commons Treasury Select Committee calling on the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne to wean his ministry off "the drug" of the PFI.
A PFI is complicated but in essence it is the combining of a mortgage to a full repairing lease. The government decides what project it wants, hospitals have been a popular use of this method of funds, the private sector then finances, builds and operates it for a set period, normally up to 30 years that includes full maintenance. At the end of the contract period the project is handed back to the government.
The PFI is attractive to governments because it transfers risks, they don't have to raise the capital now nor does it have to appear on the government's books so is not included in the debt total. In the UK it is estimated that since 1992 over 70 billion pounds of capital has been raised for hospitals, schools, prisons, new roads and defence projects. However there is an ultimate bill to pay including the running and maintenance costs and by 2050 the current PFIs will have cost British taxpayers, including those of yet unborn, 240 billion pounds.
Curiously when in opposition George Osborne described the Labour Government's use of PFIs as "totally discredited" adding it was a flawed model which "must be replaced". However the Treasury under Osborne has continued to use them. In the committee's opinion using a PFI deal for a new infrastructure project could end up costing up to 1.7 times as much as paying for it directly out of the public purse.
It was the Tory Chancellor Norman Lamont who first used the PFI in 1992 but it was Gordon Brown as chancellor who perfected the art. The private sector agreed to build and run schools, hospitals and other infrastructure projects, for usually 30 years, in exchange for a steady flow of payments from the public purse.
Andrew Tyrie, the Conservative Chairman of the Treasury Select Committee summed the use of PFIs up as instead of transferring risk to the private sector and cutting costs for the taxpayer, PFI had fooled the public and Whitehall officials into thinking they could get shiny new public services "on the never-never".
He continued: "PFI means getting something now and paying later. Any Whitehall department could be excused for becoming addicted to that. It's like a drug. We can't carry on as we are, expecting the next generation of taxpayers to pick up the tab. We must first acknowledge we've got a problem. This will be tough in the short term but it should benefit the economy and public finances in the longer term."
Which brings us to Gibraltar where if PFIs were used the debt could be hidden off the ministries' balance sheets and hence not be included in the government's debt. However it is not clear if PFIs have been used here or not or if the government plans to introduce them.
Chief minister Peter Caruana has talked about PFIs and their use in projects such as St Bernard's Hospital. A package was negotiated with RBS in which the bank purchased the former Europort building for 8 million pounds from the government then leased it back adding 52 million pounds to cover the conversion costs. As the conversion came in higher the overruns were paid by government. The government has a 20 year rental agreement with break causes and the Draft Estimates of Expenditure presented for the Budget show an annual rental of 4,554,000 pounds. Some experts say this is a sale and lease back, full repairing agreement and not a PFI. I have asked RBS how they classify this deal but am still awaiting a reply.
Whether St Bernard's Hospital even in the government's eyes is a PFI or not has yet to be established. However there is a whole raft of other projects waiting in the wings for finance that could take on PFI status. These could include the airport terminal, the power station, waste treatment plant and future car parks, which have to be privately funded as the banks have refused to do so on the previous basis.
There are two aspects for Gibraltarians to consider here. By the government's own figures it already has a half billion pound debt in gross terms with actual debt plus the provision of 20 million pounds set aside for future development funding. First – if it uses the PFI model to fund these other projects it will in the words of Andrew Tyrie be expecting the next generation of Gibraltarian taxpayers to pick up the tab. The second is that half a billion pounds debt for a small community like Gibraltar is for many a worrying prospect but the true future figure could be much, much higher yet hidden under PFI schemes.

The Toronto Zoo this week published a clip of its newborn polar bear cub taking his first steps, and we challenge even the most cynical reader to not hit the "share" button and throw in a few "OMGs" and "a-dore-a-bles" for emphasis after watching.
The wobbly white creature, tough to tell apart from a puppy, stumbles, steps and stumbles some more on what appears to be a cozy white blanket.
Dr. Graham Crawshaw, senior veterinarian at the Toronto Zoo, told Yahoo News the male cub weighed just 700 grams, or about a pound and a half, when he was born in November. Now 2 months old, he weighs around 4.4 kilos, about 9.7 pounds.
The cub has yet to be named. The zoo will most likely organize a naming contest to help generate interest, Crawshaw said.
Polar bears are born "in a very immature state" compared with other animals, he said. "Their eyes don't open for three weeks or more." Cute as he is, this bear did not get off to an auspicious start. He had to be taken away from his mother because he was failing to thrive, a relatively common situation for polar bear mothers and cubs.
"He's being hand-raised in our wildlife health center," Crawshaw said. "Obviously we don't know what really happens in the wild," he added. "It depends very much on the mother. This mother was relatively young and she seemed to be learning. And she's made some pretty good progress."
There's no set date on when the cub will make its public debut in the flesh and fur. However, "we would hope to have him for visitors to see sometime in late February or early March," Crawshaw said.

A stylish new weave can transform your look instantly, and many feel that such transformation is well worth the cost. What many weave wearers discover with dismay is that weaves shed like cats, leaving stray hairs on clothing and furniture. The main causes of shedding are improper care, improper styling, or failure to seal the weft of the weave. Employ a game plan to tame those troublesome tresses and leave the lint roller in your rearview mirror.
Before Wearing Your Weave
Step 1
Cover a table with newspapers, and place your weave flat on the table with the stitched side facing up.
Step 2
Apply a thin layer of fabric glue directly over the stitches to seal them. Using your finger, smooth the glue flat and let it dry.
Step 3
Turn the weave over and apply another strip of glue in the same location and in the same manner.
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Brought to you by Sciencing.com
Step 4
Leave the weave alone for 24 hours to allow the glue to dry fully.
While Wearing Your Weave
Step 1
Section your hair using a wide-tooth comb to expose the stitches of your weave. Hold the rest of your hair out of the way with a hair clip. Apply the fabric glue to the stitches in a thin strip, and then dry it with a hair dryer on a low setting. You will only be able to seal one side of the weave using this method. Wait 24 hours to allow the glue to fully cure.
Step 2
Squeeze a quarter-sized amount of a leave-in conditioner into your palm and work the product through your hair after shampooing. Spread the conditioner thoroughly through your stands, and then comb your hair with a wide-tooth comb to help distribute the product evenly.
Step 3
Work a dime-sized amount of a silicone-based serum or argan oil through your hair each day prior to styling to help moisturize and condition the weave hair. For longer hair, use additional oil or serum.
Step 4
Comb your hair gently using a wide-tooth comb and starting at the tips of your hair and working your way up to the roots a little at a time.
Step 5
Stop using any hair products that include alcohol as an ingredient. Alcohol is drying to both natural and artificial hair and promotes shedding in weaves.
Step 6
Wrap a silk or satin head wrap around your hair each night before going to bed. This reduces friction on your weave and prevents excessive shedding.
Things You Will Need
- Newspapers
- Fabric glue
- Wide-tooth comb
- Hair clip
- Leave-in conditioner
- Silicone serum or argon oil
- Heat-protectant spray
- Silk or satin head wrap
- Blow-dryer, optional
- Excessive brushing or combing will all increase shedding, as will combing from the roots down.
- Do not process your hair at home, such as applying color or a relaxer, as these procedures can cause premature shedding in a weave. If you want to get these treatments, have a professional stylist perform them at a salon.

Those indies frustrated by the difficulties presented reaching readers in the potentially lucrative Middle East market have reason to be cheerful today, with news that Kobo is making a concerted effort to become a player in the region.
Neither Apple nor Google Play have ebook stores in the Middle East (although Google Play is in Turkey, which is bloody close!), and Amazon famously blocks downloads to anyone who hasn't got a pre-existing western Kindle account. Great for expats and westerners working in the region. Not so great for local people.
We reported on the developing interest in ebooks in the region back in March in a post entitles Ebook Store Go Forth And Multiply In the Middle East (LINK), and before that, in an article entitle How Much Water Does It Take To Make An Ebook? (LINK) we looked at the climate factors that have meant many areas of the world have been no-go areas for print books but are now opening up to digital reading.
More recently, in July, we predicted Google Play would be the first major western operator to open ebook stores in the Middle East. (LINK)
We stand by that. Kobo isn't launching a localized store for any of the Middle East countries. But what it is doing is making a concerted effort to get Kobo devices into bricks & mortar stores in the region, with the knock-on effect that device-buyers will buy from the Kobo international ebook store.
It's a BIG step forward for e-reading in the region, and a big opportunity to find new readers for those indies in Kobo looking to extend their global reach.
Kobo have partnered with regional operator Lionfish to get Kobo devices into 34 stores across the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. (LINK)
While the Kobo ebook store has previously been accessible in the Middle East it was pretty much unknown, so this move will help build awareness of the Kobo store not just for Kobo device buyers but also for readers with smartphones or iPads who can download a Kobo app.
So far it's just a handful of the GCC countries, and no localized store, but it's a welcome start.
We hope Kobo will be looking to expand its presence in the rest of the Middle East and the Arabic-speaking states across North Africa in 2015, but our money is still on Google Play to be the first to actually set up dedicated stores there.
The Digital Reader, also covering this story (LINK), mentions the Arabic-language store Kotobi (LINK). Kotobi is on our "investigate" list, but so far we haven't made much progress. If anyone out there is familiar with the store, do let us know.
And as a final thought, for anyone with the knowledge or contacts to get Arabic translations of their works, this move by Kobo could make the endeavoiur worthwhile.

Name: Kia McIntyreAge: 31 Location: Lexington, KY Occupation: EIC of The Mixx Magazine/ HipHop & Pop Marketing Rep for WBR Kicks Shown: Lebron James X Galaxy Website/Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com/Twitter: @kiamixx/www.themixxmagazine.com
What do you imagine when you think of a boss? Power, success, drive, take-charge attitudes, and an unapologetic view of the ladder climb are all things that come to mind when I conjure images of a boss-(wo)man.
However, the "Boss" mentality is one that we've seen splashed, dashed, and damn near dismembered in the mainstream. Everyone from the guy making big decisions in the boardroom to the homie finding success in a small hustle has found strength in a term usually reserved for...well, people who actually employ others. And while becoming a legitimate boss has indeed become a big deal in music lingo, it has not (unlike many things in this male dominated industry) remained a title only associated with the fellas.
Nakia "Kia" McIntyre is one woman who we've come to admire for her boss-like hustle and take-charge attitude. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, Kia has managed to turn her fledgling hobby as a writer into a legitimate business with the creation of an online publication by the name of The Mixx Magazine. Music, fashion, and lifestyle commentary are all in the mix (or Mixx) as Kia continues to up her readership, her reach, and her team from hometown stand-out to national scene-stealer. Add Kia's gig as a marketing rep for Warner Brothers and you've got a woman who is well on her way to boss status and even bigger boss business.
We had the chance to talk shop with this Bron-donned beauty as she enlightened us on her journey, her family, and her no-nonsense hustle. Plus, we received great advice and more than a few amazing shots as we traveled to the heart of Kentucky.
CL: The Mixx Magazine is obviously doing quite well with a 30K+ readership count. Talk to us a bit about your journey from KY Standup to, what is now, The Mixx Magazine.
KM: Ky Standup was my hobby and The Mixx is my hustle. The journey was nothing more than a bittersweet struggle. It had its highs and lows, but ultimately everything worked out in my favor. I'm blessed.
CL: You obviously have a passion for music and hip-hop culture in general, but Kentucky isn't exactly known for its blossoming hip-hop scene. What molds do you feel have been broken due to The Mixx's presence? Do you see significant growth in the scene since you started?
KM: To be quite honest, the mold hasn't been broken. There's a lot of good talent in Kentucky, but not too much consistency. The mistake that I see artists making is that they get a hot song on the radio, get good feedback on a visual or a mixtape and then get that "I made it" attitude and take a break. Instead of taking a break, they should be using the exposure to capitalize on longetivity for their career. Anybody can get a video premiered on MTV Jams, but what are you going to do after it goes off? MTV isn't going to keep pushing it. It's the artists' job to continue to be consistent. Take that leverage and market yourself. Nobody is checking for Kentucky artists, so artists here have to work ten-times harder. I offer my help and resources to people who I see that are serious about their craft, but at the end of the day the artist has to do the work.
CL: I always find it interesting to talk with fellow writers because we seem to have a certain understanding of the trials and triumphs associated with this scribe life. Looking back, or even now, what would you say has been the biggest hurdle you've faced in establishing a publication?
KM: The biggest hurdle was awareness in running a business. My hobby turned into a business, so I had to transition from a writer to a business owner and I knew nothing about the business side of trying to start a publication. But now, I'm on top of it. I got this here! LOL.
CL: That being said, what are key differences between Kia "the writer" v. Kia "the editor?" Do you feel you have to wear one hat more than others as your success grows?
KM: Kia "the writer" turns creative expressions into words that nobody may understand but her and the people closest to her. Kia "the editor" makes sure the content presented to The Mixx readers is eye-catching and professional. I definitely wear more than one hat. When people ask me what I do jokingly reply with, "I check emails & shi*t." There's no way to describe everything that I do. I'm very hands on when it comes to The Mixx, except for our site. LOL. I should probably learn a little more about site maintenance.
CL: Speaking of hats. You're actually the first mommy we've featured in the series. As a mother and a business woman, it's got to be difficult to balance your two worlds – but I can't imagine building something from the ground up and supporting a family. Do you think your kids are your biggest source of motivation? What advice would you give to young women who may be trying to follow their dreams and raise a child?
KM: The "politically correct" answer to this question would be "Yes." But, my kids aren't my biggest source of motivation. Me wanting to be successful was not driven by my kids. I'm not too proud to work a 9-5, so my motherly obligations will always be taken care of; the success is just extra. I am my motivation! I wanted to live a life that I would be proud of. Kids don't understand that their needs can't be met because YOUR dream didn't come true. I do what I have to do to make sure my kids are taken care of, then I motivate myself to be the successful individual that I want to be. There's a separation between the two.
My advice to women period who may be trying to follow their dreams and raise a child(ren) is to never give up. Don't get discouraged when things don't go right and don't live your life according to how others think you should be living it. If I would have let others deter me from doing what I felt was right, I would not be in the position that I am in now. People still have their opinions on the way I live my life, but they're also not the ones cutting me a check every month either.
CL: A number of people might not know that you also do marketing work for one of the biggest labels in the nation. What doors do you think that opportunity has opened for you?
KM: It has opened up a lot of doors for me. The amount of opportunities that have been presented to me have been overwhelming. The list goes from national publication features, event hosting, clothing endorsements, and some things in the works that I can't talk about yet, but I've had to turn down some good ones just because I know I don't have the time to really dedicate. Moreover, I have been put in a position to where I can be of help to others trying to get their foot in the industry door and my Mixx team gets to reap the benefits of being affiliated.
CL: Chicks N' Kicks is really all about promoting healthy business relationships amongst young women who are working hard to create a legacy. When all is said and done, what do you want people to remember most about you?
KM: I did it my way! I didn't change myself to fit into that "typical industry woman" profile. I didn't sleep with anyone to get "on" and I didn't kiss anyone's ass. I worked hard to become the person that I am and when it's all said and done, can't nobody take what I built. I don't owe anybody anything - that's all me and my mixx team!
CL: What are five things you'd want young women interested in following your footsteps to know about growing their own company?
KM: 1. Success is not an overnight achievement. 2. You have to be passionate about what you're doing. Remain focused. 3. Know the difference between a hobby and a business. Every great idea you have is not made to be a business move. 4. Have a plan and do your research. 5. Don't be afraid to ask for help. 6. Note to self: A woman who knows her worth is a powerful woman. (I know you said 5, but this is a plus #newrules)
CL: Finish this sentence – "My personal style is ______."
KM: Classically Chic. I'm always brimming with confidence so I just rely on classic, simple items that don't require a lot of thought. I might throw on a sundress with chucks or cowboy boots, then you may see me in pair of skinny jeans, a cute top and some heels. I like to be comfortable, but I can get dolled up for whatever the occasion may be.
CL: As we head towards the end of the summer and the last half of 2013, What kind of personal and professional growth have you seen this year? What can we expect to see throughout the next five months?
KM: As far as personal growth, I've done a huge turnaround. It's safe to say that I'm not the same person I was a year and a half ago...and that's a good thing! LOL!
Professionally, I've accomplished so much and within the next five months I'll be damn near unstoppable. I love challenging myself! I have so many major projects that I'm working on right now and can't wait to share. Happiness is the key factor. Once you find that point of happiness in your life it opens so many doors. If you're not happy with how your life is going, you'll be mad at the world and your attitude will reflect it. Find that happiness and you will feel like a brand new person.
CL: Obviously we love sneakers. What are a few of your favorite pairs to rock?
KM: I love chucks, but I wear Lebrons and Airmax as well.
CL: Anything else you'd like our readers to know?
KM: I direct videos. The most recent video I directed was Smoke of Fieldmob's "Make It Rain" video. His camp flew me into Miami Memorial Day weekend and we shot the video.
[There is a] cute little boy that thinks I'm a model on Sundays. So, I guess I can let everyone else know that I'm a model, but only on Sundays. Lol.

Homemade Frozen Yogurt
The great thing about frozen yogurt is that it's guaranteed to be a hit any time of year! Your kid can learn about the process of making frozen yogurt—and enjoy a flavorful dessert. Nothing beats a homemade treat fresh from the freezer.
What You Need:
- 2 cups plain yogurt
- Plastic container with lid
- Fork
- Mixing bowl
- Flavoring for the yogurt
- Timer
- Paper
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Start by brainstorming with your child what flavour of yogurt your child would like. Frozen yogurt is just like ice cream, but instead of using milk and eggs, the main ingredient is yogurt—and it can be any flavour you want!
- Invite your child to measure and add the plain yogurt to a mixing bowl. Now she can add whatever flavoring she would like, tasting as she goes. When she's happy with how her yogurt tastes, it's time to get freezing!
- Frozen yogurt is often made by using an ice cream maker, but it can also be churned by hand, which allows your child the ability to control how smooth her frozen yogurt is.
- Invite your child to put the yogurt mixture in a plastic container with a lid, giving the mixture a stir with a fork. Now she can place the yogurt in the freezer and set the timer for 15 minutes.
- Offer your child a paper and pencil to create a chart documenting how long it takes for the yogurt to freeze. She can even make a guess and see how close she comes when the frozen yogurt is finished!
- When the timer dings, invite your child to take the yogurt out from the freezer and give the mixture a good stir with the fork, and then place it back in the freezer, setting the timer for another 15 minutes.
- Your child can continue stirring and freezing every 15 minutes until her frozen yogurt is set! All that's left is to scoop some out for all her friends and family and enjoy!
Did you know: frozen yogurt didn't hit the scene until the 1970s? It wasn't well-received at the time, but over time has turned into a popular and healthy warm-weather treat!

Brimming with conviction, he gives the first frame its opening words: "America has produced only three classic writers – Mark Twain, J.D. Salinger, and me." The "me" is the speaker, Jonathan Flynn. The movie is Being Flynn, based on the memoir by Jonathan's son Nick.
And the actor is Robert De Niro, whose character here allows him to do two things he hasn't done in some considerable time: (a) drive a taxi cab and (b) play a substantial dramatic role. Soon enough Jonathan will lose that cab licence, but I'm happy to report that De Niro hasn't lost his chops. At least not quite.
As filmed by director Paul Weitz, the memoir is a study in fearful symmetry, a parallel tale of two lives: the bombastically wayward father and the son who's deathly afraid of becoming him, of seeing his genetic inheritance morph from paternal hatred into self-hatred.
The parallelism begins as a cross-cutting expedition into their separate but connected existences. Separate, because they haven't seen each other in 18 years, when Jonathan abandoned the boy to be raised by his mother. Yet connected because, well, such is the story.
So the similarities emerge. Both are aspiring writers and both are unpublished, albeit with a crucial difference – the elder fills volumes in the firm conviction that he's an artistic genius; the younger scribbles tentatively in the nagging suspicion that he's as deluded as his dad.
Right off, both get evicted from their apartments, the one turfed out by a landlord fed up with his violent streak, the other kicked out by a girlfriend impatient with his passive drifting. Nick relocates and then, out of the blue, receives a phone call from Jonathan asking for help to transport his scant belongings into storage. The meeting is understandably awkward for the son, but not the father, who's incapable of embarrassment and bereft of shame. His parting is as breezy as his arrival: " Au revoir, then."
Of course, when Nick lands a job at a homeless shelter, while Jonathan free falls from sleeping in his cab to a park bench to an open grate blowing hot air into the frigid night, it's obvious that the parallel lines are poised to intersect. Yes, the father checks into the shelter, minus his faithful mickey of vodka but still drinking deep from his endless stores of bravado. Along with his co-workers, Nick watches him spin out of control, whereupon the symmetry starts up again. The son takes to slaking his despair in the same way that his father fuels his illusions – with booze chased by solitude.
This seems schematic because it is – too much so, as if the script is overeager to stuff life's messiness into a neat literary construct. And the flashbacks to Nick's mother (Julianne Moore), meant to add context, have the opposite effect. They play like thin asides, just brief tangents on an underdeveloped storyline.
As for the performances, De Niro worked with Weitz on Little Fockers and, early on, I'm afraid it shows – he's mugging broadly again. Luckily, Jonathan's declining fortunes allow De Niro to settle more deeply into the role. Here's where the actor struts his stuff, finding a crucial element of pathos without sentimentalizing a thoroughly dislikeable character.
By contrast, Paul Dano serves up the son with a perpetually numbed expression that borders on blankness. The motivation is good, but the result isn't: In his eagerness to show Nick desperately distancing himself from his father, Dano has a regrettable tendency to distance himself from the audience.
After all this down-and-outness, the ending feels abrupt and coy. Since we already know that Nick survived to write the memoir that prompted the movie, Jonathan's fate is the most intriguing. That's when it struck me. In this tale of two lives, Being Flynn gets the emphasis wrong. The success that has many fathers is altogether predictable; it's the despicable orphan of failure who has us in his thrall.
Being Flynn
- Directed and written by Paul Weitz
- Starring Robert De Niro and Paul Dano
- Classification: 14A
- 2.5 stars
