Chocolate Desire/
If I had to have a vote for a new thing to call "Black Love" I'd throw that name in the hat, but as you can see it also makes for a good album cover or blaxploitation flick cover. The photo above is from a shoot I did on a whim with one of my favoriter couples, Sean and Karen. Both are artists with Sean being a renaissance man of sorts thru his painting, illustration, writing and event hosting and Karen as a singer and musician. Like a lot of my ideas it culminated in a sudden eureka moment that went something like "what if I took the aesthetic from old soul and jazz album covers and shot a couple?" So then I called these guys and their response was can we wear furs? "OF COURSE" says I!
But aside from just doing this because it was fun, it was an example to me of the kind of things in a relationship that keep strong partnerships going. The way these two interact in front of the camera and just in general is very unique to them and I think it's easy to see in these photos. A lot of people get stuck in comparing their relationships with what they see in photos or on TV and try to strive for someone else's awesome.If there is anything to take from another couple you see looking all wonderful and shit, it's that you should spend more time finding your own personal expression of lovey dovey, randomness to latch onto. Make others aspire to get like ya'll when they see you, I promise it's way more gratifying than sweating someone else's steez.
This certainly won't be my last shoot like this, it was too damn fun! I want to hear from more of you wonderful love birds out there, so let me know what you think of the photos. What's the most atypical thing you've done on a date or for Valentime's?(not a typo btw)

Minimalism and DITA Enable Significant Cost Savings for Avaya Telephone Manuals
JoAnn Hackos, PhD, Comtech Services, Inc.
When Lou Lombardi decided to employ a minimalist strategy for the Avaya telephone user guides, he believed that customers did not need all the technical detail that had long encumbered the manuals. After all, most people already know how to use a desktop telephone. But he had to convince the engineers and product managers and even the usability expert that content they had long held dear could be replaced to save costs.
More on Telecommuting
Anne Bovard, Comtech Services, Inc.
I've enjoyed the recent CIDM attention to telecommuting. Beginning with Bill Hackos' blog entry and followed up by Bill Gearhart's eNewsletterarticle, I think it is safe to say that the 'green argument' for telecommuting is bullet-proof. In this increasingly environmentally-charged age of awareness, arguing against a way to reduce our carbon footprints would surely be met with jaw-dropping shock. So why then, given the facts of green telecommuting benefits, are we so slow to institute it?

Charlotte & David's Story...
Fate must bring my clients and I together, because these guys are just right up my street. I just love it. When Charlotte suggested a powder paint shoot I knew boom this is my kind of bride! Here is a little of how it went...
started out like any normal Pre-wedding shoot, but then...
At this point I would definitely say Charlotte was winning, but I believe David soon resorted to underhand tactics.
We knew we needed a good, day with minimal to no wind, which considering the howling during the night, I didn't expect much sunshine, but the clouds broke and for a one hour period the wind calmed & the sun shone. The last image to be taking on this afternoon commenced the first raindrop, within minutes after the shoot the rain & gail-force winds attacked us. you just wouldn't believe it, would you?
These are just a few of my favourite, it was so much fun & my glamorous assistant Jenni couldn't have done more! was just an all round great shoot and cannot wait until the wedding!!!
Thanks guys again!
Thank you for reading and please like us on Facebook
and have a nosey on the website for more images from Charlotte & David's Story...

The holidays are fast approaching and this is the time of year when eBay sellers make the most money. For example, last year our sales for November thru January exceeded our sales for the prior 5 months. I just sent this out to my newsletter subscribers, but since some of my blog readerrs don't subscribe I wanted to share it with you too. If you would like to subscribe to my FREE TWICE MONTHLY NEWSLETTER click here The eBay Seller's News.
I wanted to give you three resources with this issue:
1. eBay Holiday Selling Tips:
- The Thanksgiving selling season has already started. The Christmas selling starts the day after Halloween.
- Free Shipping works best during the holiday season
- People often buy more than one of the same item during the Christmas season. The best way to take advantage of this is with fixed price listings for multiple quantities. If you offer free shipping when someone buys more than one item this always works
- This year people will be looking for bargains. eBay's markdown manager is a great tool to find those buyers
- People are shopping every day. Run shorter duration auctions and run them more often
2. Key Dates To Start Promotions
- If you have any Thanksgiving related products or promotions you should be sending them out now and launching auctions next week.
- Start your Christmas promotions the day after Halloween
- The day after Thanksgiving is not only a big retail day it is also a big day on eBay. Make sure you have auctions ending on that day. Anytime from 8AM Pacific to 7PM Pacific is a good time. If you have identical products that sell well for Christmas, have an auction end once an hour starting at 8AM. This way your items will appear at the top of the search results on one of the biggest shopping days of the year. I did this for one of my products last year and 9 out of my 12 listings sold and over half of them went with the BIN price.
- Start offering optional expedited on December 18th and keep it going right up to Christmas eve. Even if someone buys on Christmas eve with expedited shipping they will not get it in time, but people still do that as some of them are always a couple days late.
- Run a post-Christmas sale with markdown manager starting December 28th and running through January 15th.
3. Holiday Toy Guide
Every year about this time, Jennie Hunt comes out with her Holiday Toy Guide. Even eBay sellers who don't normally sell toys can make money in this category this time of year. Last year one of Jennie's readers who had never sold toys before made over $4000 selling toys she bought retail from discount warehouses and outlets.
Jennie has just produced a great article about the toy market and what it will look like in this economy. Here is the article. After you read it, you can visit Holiday Toy Guide and get more free articles and read about Jennie's service. When it comes to the toy market Jennie is the acknowledged expert on the eBay Toy Market.
How Is The Economy Going To Effect Toy Sales On eBay This Year?
By Jennie Hunt
If you are an eBay seller, you probably can't help but think about how the economy might affect the biggest selling season of the year… holiday toy sales.
First of all, I think it is important to note that nobody can predict how things are going to pan out this year (or any year for that matter)… no matter who says it or how they say it… until we are smack in the middle of the season, it is just a prediction.
Even so, it would be unwise if we ignored the status of the economy and didn't take a closer look as to how this selling season COULD be affected. It is equally important to examine strategies we, as sellers, can put into place that will help ensure a profitable selling season regardless of how glum things may look today.
What We Can Rely On
- That children always come first.
Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles… no matter what… will find a way to make their child's holiday one to remember. Even if it means cutting the budget elsewhere, they will find a way to buy toys and gifts for the children in their lives.
- Even in a slow economy, the holidays still bring out good cheer.
The holidays are known for being a time for hope and generosity. Although you wouldn't always recognize this when customers fight over the last (latest and greatest) Elmo on the shelves… the motive is still to bring cheer to the loved ones in their lives during the holidays.
- Most people don't know how to budget.
Consumer debt in our country is through the roof… we don't really understand how to control spending… and, although I can't encourage getting into more debt, I think it is safe to assume that people will spend what they feel like they have to spend to make the people in their lives happy this year. This means people are going to be buying the hottest toys for the children in their lives… even if it means going into debt.
Okay, so we know people are still going to buy. In fact, Deloitte Research and Retail Forward are predicting sales to be flat this holiday season compared to a year ago when it dropped significantly. At the same time, the International Council of Shopping Centers has predicted a 1% increase in sales compared to last year's sales.
The only thing we really know is that analysts are all over the board. No one really knows what will happen… But, we can assume that, although they may be forced to cut back from previous years (you do have to have food on the table), we are a society that is known for getting deeper and deeper into debt. But what if people do cut corners and aren't interested in (or able to) buying the hot toys that are released for this holiday season?
They are still going to buy toys!
I'm confident that even if parents can't afford to, they will find a way to buy toys for their children. And, if they can't afford to get the newest toys for this year… they will buy used. Did you know that used toys sell well all year long – and they do quite well during the holiday season too? I can't help but wonder if new toy sales slump a bit this year… only to find that used toy sales go through the roof!
We'll have to wait and see to find out – but, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
One of the best strategies toy sellers can implement this holiday season is to offer both used and new toys to their customers.
Even though new toys traditionally skyrocket during the holidays… and that means sellers can buy them at full retail prices only to see them double or triple on eBay… there can be a much higher profit margin when selling used toys. You can pick up gently used toys at yard sales, consignment shops, estate sales and thrift stores for pennies on the dollar and turn them around for 100-200% profit on eBay!
But, it all comes down to knowing what sells…
The Holiday Toy Guide is created to help you make the most from your toy selling efforts on eBay… to help you know what is selling (and what isn't!)… and in an unpredictable economy – this is MUST HAVE information.

The first life lesson Dorothy Pitman Hughes bestowed on the group of Jacksonville fifth-grade girls was the importance of rap.
Not the musical variety, but the talking variety. As in "rap session," getting together on a regular basis with girls they trust, to solve their collective problems and support their collective dreams.
"I lived through a lot," said Hughes, 75, an African-American civil and women's rights activist since childhood, co-founder of Ms. Magazine and a longtime New York City businesswoman. "I made the decision early on to change what I could. … I couldn't do it without other people."
The 10 girls she met Wednesday participate in Girl Matters: It's Elementary, a Delores Barr Weaver Policy Center program at two local schools that focuses on increasing school success among elementary-age girls.
Hughes, who now lives in Jacksonville, told them about her life, her accomplishments and her struggles, such as enduring "racism, classism and sexism" along the way.
She said she first learned about rap sessions when she watched her mother gather with her friends on the porch of the family home in Georgia. She encouraged the girls to form their own rap groups and said she would certainly join them on occasion if invited.
"Always know there is someone you can rap with, who will listen to you," she said. "Get together and talk. You will get experience and understanding from someone else about what's bothering you."
Some girls realized they were already building rap groups. When they have problems, one of them said, "I go to someone I can trust that's in my age group."
Hughes said she was part of the "second wave" of U.S. women's rights activists and that they could be the third wave, with help from each other.
"We fought and changed things. You are the product of the fight," she said.
But the fight continues, in the push for economic empowerment and job opportunities. "You've got to take on the battle."
The girls agreed.
Having a job, one of them said, will "build you up and make you responsible."
Hughes said she intended to ask Mayor Alvin Brown and the school district to help youth find jobs in their communities. When she was in New York City, she once brought 1,500 youths to City Hall to ask then-Mayor John Lindsay to urge businesses to hire young people.
"I think the mayor would be very excited to see 1,500 of you," she said, with a chuckle.
She also urged them to make jobs a rap session topic. And when she said she hires 12 youth every year at her Jacksonville bookstore and asked if they were interested, all 10 raised their hands.

Pharaoh Djoser (Netjerikhet) was the Pharaoh of Joseph
Djoser - Zozer - Netjerikhet
- Main article: Evidence for the Israelite Sojourn in Egypt
- Main article: Joseph and Imhotep
- Main article: Netjerikhet
There is an inscription on the Island of Sihiel, near the first cataract of the Nile known as the Famine stele (Moeller). It is a copy of a manuscript written a thousand years earlier. It tells of Imhotep and Pharaoh Djoser in the 18th year of Djoser's reign and has striking parallels with Biblical story of Joseph. The inscription states "seven meagre years and seven rich years". Commenting on the inscription, Moeller writes, "Pharaoh Djoser asks Imhotep to help him with the coming seven years of famine. All the components of the Biblical story of Joseph are there, except for listing the "meagre" years before the years of plenty. The famine years were, of course, the event of significance, saving everyone from starvation and bringing in much wealth to Egypt.
Imhotep was the vizier of Pharaoh Djoser of the 3rd dynasty. He was responsible for designing the Step Pyramid Complex at Saqqara. The complex not only contains the Step Pyramid which can be seen from afar, it contains many buildings which are contiguous with the walls that surround the Step Pyramid. Within the walls are a number of open pits which are interconnected at the bottom and accessible from an ajoining pit that has stairs leading down to the bottom. These pits are very similar to others found in many other cities in Egypt from the same time period used to store grain.
The "Famine stele", found near the first cataract of the Nile tells the story of Djosers dream and how Djoser asked Imhotep to help save Egypt from a coming seven year famine. It mentions seven meagre years and seven years of plenty. It has all the components of the Biblical story of Joseph.
It is quite likey that Joseph and Imhotep were one in the same person. They both saved Egypt from a seven year famine by building silos and storing grain during the years of plenty. They both brought up the land of Egypt except that of the Priests. The commoners could have only sold their land once to pharaoh, which is strong evidence that Joseph and Imhotep are the same person. Joseph / Imhotep instituted a 20% tax. They both married the daughter of the High Priest (On is the capital Heiliopolis). They both lived to the age of 110 and served multiple pharaohs. Their bodies are both missing from their tombs.
Joseph/Imhotep came to Djoser in the 18th year of his reign according to the Famine Stelle.
Djoser reigned for 29 years and was succeeded by Sekhemkhet who reigned for 6 yrs and then was succeeded by Khaba who reigned for 6 yrs and then was succeed by Huni who was the last pharaoh of the third dynasty and reigned for 24 years.
As Jospeh/Imhotep lived until the age of 110 years and was highly esteemed by the Egyptians, he may well have lived long enough to serve some of the fourth dynasty Pharaohs such as Senefru and Khufu who built Egypts largest pyramids at Giza.
When Joseph/Imhotep died, his body was embalmed by the Egyptians and he was given a royal Egyptian burial. Besides saving Egypt from a seven year famine, he was the author of many literary works, he was the first to use papyrus, the first to design buildings with columns, he performed operations, developed preservation techniques and probably had a role in building more than one pyramid. After his death he was even worshiped as a God by Greeks and Egyptians even though he remained loyal to the Hebrew's God Jehovah (as evidenced by the fact that his sarcophagus was not orientated towards the sun as was the case with people who worshiped Re). He managed to ensure the survival of his family while they grew to be a great nation in Egypt.
After his death, once his connection to the Hebrews was forgotten, the Hebrews were enslaved by Amenemhet I, the first pharaoh of the 12th dynasty. They served as slaves for successive pharaohs of the 12th dynasty making mud bricks reinforced with straw.

text: DigitalFacebook Caffe2Go Deep-Learning System Powers Video 'Style Transfer' TestFacebook's focus on artificial intelligence may soon help users turn their videos into "works of art."By David Cohen|November 8, 2016 ShareBy David Cohen|November 8, 2016 ShareFacebook's focus on artificial intelligence may soon help users turn their videos into "works of art."The social network announced that it began testing a new creative-effective camera feature within its flagship mobile application that applies "style transfer" technique to users' videos via a Facebook-developed deep-learning technology called Caffe2Go.Yangqing Jia and Peter Vajda explained the test in a blog post:We recently began testing a new creative-effect camera in the Facebook app that helps people turn videos into works of art in the moment. That technique is called "style transfer." It takes the artistic qualities of one image style, like the way Van Gogh paintings look, and applies it to other images and videos.It's a technically difficult trick to pull off, normally requiring the content to be sent off to data centers for processing on big-compute servers–until now.We've developed a new deep-learning platform on mobile so it can–for the first time–capture, analyze and process pixels in real time, putting state-of-the-art technology in the palm of your hand. This is a full-fledged deep learning system called Caffe2Go, and the framework is now embedded into our mobile apps.By condensing the size of the artificial-intelligence model used to process images and videos by 100 times, we're able to run various deep neural networks with high efficiency on both iOS and Android. Ultimately, we were able to provide AI inference on some mobile phones at less than 1/20th of a second, essentially 50 milliseconds–a human eye blink happens at one-third of a second, or 300 ms.Video style transfer demoPosted by Facebook Engineering on Monday, November 7, 2016Facebook chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer also addressed Caffe2Go in a detailed Newsroom post updating Facebook's AI initiatives:Just three months ago, we set out to do something nobody else had done before: ship AI-based style transfer running live, in real-time, on mobile devices. This was a major engineering challenge, as we needed to design software that could run high-powered computing operations on a device with unique resource constraints in areas like power, memory and compute capability.The result is Caffe2Go, a new deep-learning platform that can capture, analyze and process pixels in real-time on a mobile device. We found that by condensing the size of the AI model used to process images and videos by 100 times, we're able to run deep neural networks with high efficiency on both iOS and Android. This is all happening in the palm of your hand, so you can apply styles to videos as you're taking them.Having an industrial-strength deep-learning platform on mobile enables other possibilities, too. We can create gesture-based controls, where the computer can see where you're pointing and activate different styles or commands. We can recognize facial expressions and perform related actions, like putting a "yay" filter over your selfie when you smile. With Caffe2Go, AI has opened the door to new ways for people to express themselves.Schroepfer also provided details on tools, platforms and infrastructure that allow Facebook employees to incorporate AI into their projects:FBLearner Flow: He described this as the "backbone of AI-based product development at Facebook," saying it makes AI so easy to use that 70 percent of the social network's employees who are using the platform are not AI experts.AutoML: Infrastructure that allows engineers to optimize new AI models using existing AI.Lumos: A "self-serve platform" that allows teams at Facebook to "harness the power of computer vision for their products and services without the need for prior expertise."Readers: What are your initial impressions of Caffe2Go?

On Monday, the family split along gender lines, with the boys taking a day trip to Siena and the girls staying in Florence to shop. We slept in a bit and had breakfast at Hotel Roma, then Sam and I walked to the train station to buy tickets to Siena. We took a stubby regional train that had only four cars and moved as fast as the steam engine from Petticoat Junction, stopping in about six towns along the way. The slow speed wasn't necessarily a problem, as it allowed for good views of the Tuscan hillside.
Upon arriving in Siena around 12:30, Sam and I took a series of escalators from the train terminal up the steep hill, arriving at a shopping mall. Sam was hungry, so he had a quick slice of wood-fired pizza in the fast food court. The closest thing resembling American pepperoni pizza here is one with some type of salami. He can't wait to get back home to get some authentic Jack's frozen. We then walked a bit, first through the gates of the medieval wall and then directly to the town's main square, or campo. Rick Steves says this is the best piazza in Italy. It slopes gently from back to front in amphitheater-like fashion, with the tower and city hall acting as impressive backdrops for what would be center stage.
Our mantra for the day was to relax. We didn't want to get caught up in any line-waiting, so we decided to skip the bell tower climb and opted instead to find a seat in the shade on the campo. We did some people and dog-watching, spotting a cute little pup near us napping at his owner's feet. One of the running family jokes on this trip is that we comment how every dog we see looks like our dog Wally. In that regard, Wally has been likened to pomeranians, german shepherds and pit bulls. In this case, though, the furry little beast actually did look a lot like ours and had us beginning to think more of home. After resting on the campo, we walked to Siena's famous cathedral. Now with the benefit of hindsight, I commented to Sam how I wished we had gone to the cathedral first to visit its interior and climb its facciatone to get panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. By this time, though, the lines were long and we were getting antsy to get back to Florence. We took a few photos and then started heading back downhill toward the train station -- or so we thought. Instead, we ended up at the city's main parking area, needing to return back up the hill, surviving out-of-order escalators to do so and then retraced our steps back to the train terminal. Our late afternoon train put us back in Florence around 6PM.
Back at Hotel Roma, Sam and I rested while waiting for Kristin and Sydney to return from their day on the town. They arrived about 45 minutes later, having done more window-shopping than actual shopping. Monday night was the only night of this trip that Kristin and I took the opportunity to dine sans kids. Syd and Sam were comfortable with the idea of staying in for the night, chowing down paninis in our hotel room and watching the Italian version of MTV, which actually shows music videos ... unlike its American counterpart. Kristin and I ate at Toro Alla Brace.
Tuesday was our last day in Florence. We didn't have a set itinerary, so purposely let the day develop based on our moods and energy levels. After hotel breakfast, we walked the short distance to Mercato Centrale, Florence's large indoor/outdoor market where leather goods can be found outside and a variety of food items and sundries inside. I'm not a huge leather guy, nor do I resemble Tom Cruise, but that didn't stop one of the hawkers from telling me how good I'd look in one of the Mission Impossible jackets. On the second level, they have several casual restaurants in a large open and airy space. Here, we sampled granite, which is a slushy-like shaved iced from Sicily in fruity flavors. Tangerine was the best. Heading back south, I spotted an OVS department store. We had to check it out and see how this Italian-based chain compares to Macy's. With the assistance of a store clerk, Kristin had some fun using Google glass here, where discounts were calculated by simply looking at items' bar codes. A jacket and scarf and only 47 Euros later, we were out of there.
After a short stop back at the hotel, we decided to take in one last museum, the Bargello, primarily to see a little more Michelangelo. On our way there, we grabbed sandwiches on the street and ate them on the shady steps of a church. The Bargello wasn't crowded whatsoever and offered up close views of Donatello's David and side-by-side comparisons of Gibherti's and Brunelleschi's bronze sculpture submissions in the contest for Santa Maria del Fiore's baptistery doors.
We returned to Hotel Roma mid-afternoon for a short siesta. I realize it sounds like we rested a lot on this trip, but trust me, all the walking we were doing was taking a toll on our legs and feet. Nonetheless, I wasn't going to let a little plantar fasciitis prevent me from achieving the next goal -- climbing the steps of Giotto's bell tower. While the kids continued to lounge at the hotel, Kristin and I headed back to the duomo area and paid our 10 Euros for the opportunity to scale 414 stairs. True to the guide books, the stairwell space is a little claustrophobic the higher you go, but once at the top you have a bird's eye view of Brunelleschi's dome right next door and the rest of Florence. Hey, you could see our hotel from here! Back at ground level, we came upon the ironic scene of Hare Krishnas dancing in the street near the Roman Catholic landmark. Kristin was taken aback by the direct request for a donation by one of their "monks" without the courtesy to first make even a mild attempt at conversion.
Back at the hotel, we showered and then dined at Ristorante Lorenzo del Medici, a place that had recent favorable reviews on Trip Advisor. The food was ok, not great, but the staff was very friendly, which counts for a lot. For the most part, hotel and restaurant staffers have been quite nice in Italy. But oftentimes, we've found the cashiers of the small stores to be somewhat unfriendly -- perhaps it's just us. And don't ask them to make change from a larger denomination bill! We finished our day with a stroll back to the hotel, stopping for Sam's gelato and Sydney's keepsake Italian perfume on the way. We listened to live music in Piazza della Repubblica and watched kids ride the merry-go-round there. All of us really enjoyed Florence and its slower pace relative to Rome.

of slicing it cleanly like a scythe blade. They had spelled the end of their hunting and gathering lifestyle by getting too good. This is a culture that develops new life forms first and asks questions later; a species that is in the process of, in the words of the poet Robinson Jeffers, breaking its legs on its own cleverness. I can identify with pretty much every word of this, including, sometimes, the last one. Summary: MLA (Modern Language Association) style is most commonly used to write papers and cite sources within the liberal arts and humanities. Their median life span was higher than at any period for the next six thousand years, and their health, as estimated by measuring the pelvic inlet depth of their skeletons, appears to have been better, again, than at any period sinceincluding the present day.
If you want to call this ecocentrism or deep ecology,. I did not know even one person who would have understood why I wanted to do such a thing. "How to Make Vegetarian Chili." eHow,. Each improvement in our knowledge or in our technology will create new problems, which require new improvements. The villages were as flies To be sucked empty. It was accompanied by the usual shrill demands for optimism and hope, but there was no disguising the hollowness of the exercise. Using a scythe properly is a meditation: your body in tune with the tool, your tool in tune with the land. "Investigating Disease Outbreaks Under a Protocol to the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention." Emerging Infectious Diseases, vol. This is the same attitude that makes us assume that a brushcutter is a better way of mowing grass than a scythe, and it seems to be equally erroneous. It is important to cite these containers within containers so that your readers can find the exact source that you used. Is it possible to see the future as dark and darkening further; to reject false hope and desperate pseudo-optimism without collapsing into despair?

The reach of wireless communications and high transmissions frequencies seems to have no end in sight. FM radio was the last new wireless link for the automotive industry, but that's going to change in the future.
I spent this week at a telematics show that focused on the growing demand for cellular communications that bring Internet access, real time traffic updates and other data to the car. It's pretty much a lock to become a huge market over the next several years, opening up a burgeoning market for in-vehicle modules and the servers that provide them with information.
At the same time, the government continues its slow drive to set up an infrastructure designed to improve safety. Dedicated short range communications (DSRC) will be an important element of a vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to roadside station network.
The Department of Transportation plans to use high frequency 5.9 GHz links to let cars share data. Providing warnings about black ice and sharing time of travel data could improve safety and reduce communications. Communications to roadside stations would alert drivers of traffic in blind spots, among other alerts, if studies planned for over the next couple years pan out as expected.
There's little question that autos will greatly increase the scope of wireless communications over the next few years. Cellular providers are constantly crying for more bandwidth as drivers and everyone else wants to see high quality video at any time they want. There's just no shortage of opportunity for companies that can help companies add wireless to their product portfolio. Nor does there seem to be a slowdown in the demand for boards and systems that handle those wireless signals.

Thoughts on the Colors of the Year
Hope you'll enjoy this short read on my thoughts of this year's choices. I'll be emailing out a free Color Theory Mini Quilt pattern to my newsletter list, so make sure you're signed up!
PantoneOut with the old and in with the new fresh Greenery from Pantone. We can all have a sigh of relief that Rose Quartz and Serenity are out. *sigh* I was not a fan of this duo. I think the only trend that stuck from this duo was the "blend" part. Gradients in general are making a bit of a comeback in the design world. Using two or even three colors in a gradient to give a mix of color behind some text or overlaying an image has become extremely popular.
Fresh, clean, and renewing are just a few adjectives that come to mind while looking at Greenery. I like Greenery because on its own it is neither bright nor dull. It can go either way based on the colors it is paired with. I am hoping to see this color used in more interesting ways than paired with blue and white.
For sewing with Greenery, I've decided to use Moda's Bella Solid Leaf.

Pink Flamingo? I think the only trendy part of that is Flamingo, which started making is comeback in 2016. I first noticed them in Rifle Paper Co and Cotton and Steel's collaboration line, but then started seeing them everywhere. I probably wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the Les Fleurs Collection, I was obsessed with the fabric sneak peaks on Instagram counting down the months until I could get my hands on some of the quilting cotton.
Pink Flamingo, doesn't feel new. Maybe it'll grow on me like the highlighter-hurt-your-eyes yellow from 2016. I really loved the throwback 80s design quilts that used bits of highlighter yellow and other neon colors. But at first I was not really a fan, I didn't dislike it but I wasn't sure what to think of it.
I do however really like how Rebecca Bryan used PinkFlamingo in her quilt Nostalgia. I really enjoy the way the red and blue push at each other with the pops of cedar (gold-ish color).
My local MQG Chapter has a long joke about Marsala. When Marsala was named the Pantone Color of The Year everyone groaned. The color wasn't "modern" on its own, but when used with other colors I thought it was beautiful and definitely modern. Two years later I see the remnants of Marsala in the form of maroon, mostly in fashion. Maybe Pink Flamingo will be the same way…. Maybe.
What do you think of the Colors of the Year? Do you plan on using them in a new project? If you like Pink Flamingo, you have the rest of 2017 to change my mind about it — you might need all of those days so get to it!

Color Theory Mini Quilt
I designed this Mini Quilt to explore how different colors in a color scheme interact with each other when one color is most dominate. It calls for 5 Fat Quarters, but you can probably pull from your scrap bin (especially for the little tiny bit of Leaf I used). I'll be emailing out a pdf with instructions to my newsletter list, so make sure you are signed up. (Here or in my sidebar.)
I'm still trying to decide how I'd like to quilt mine. I'm planning on a Leaf green binding.
Here are the fabrics I used above: Bella Solid Leaf, Bella Solid Mulberry, Bella Solid Crocus, Bella Solid Admiral Blue and Kona Plum.
If you'd like a warm palette try: Bella Solid Leaf, Bella Solids Chrome, Bella Solids Geranium, Bella Solids Summer House, and Bella Solids Melon.

WordPress calls it the administration. as if it were somewhere between boring and disease. At ECO13.me we rather think of it as a sunny backyard. After all, it is where we grow our site, friends are welcome and privacy is appreciated.
You arrive at the ECO13.me backyard upon login. It is where you can edit your profile and create a site.
Once finished, you catch a glimpse of your own site's backyard when you explore the toolbar, which is one of the many elements of 'wp-admin' or 'WordPress administration': a terrible word for something that powerful, creative, flexible and fun.
Let's take a look!
When you are logged in and on your site's front end, f.ex. on the homepage, you can click on its name in the toolbar to enter your garden. The first destination is the dashboard.
Dashboardmodular view on site status and activity
The WordPress Dashboard is much like an observation post. It tends to give an overview of what is going on on a site. Stats and activity get published in modules. You can drag and drop, to rearrange them. On new sites, only two modules are active. You can add more with plugins. F.ex. you could add your Google Analytics stats.
01. admin notice
When you are the admin of a newly created ECO13.me website, you will find a notice on top with a request to upgrade. Obviously, you can click it to take a look at the upgrade screen, but ECO13.me is in a beta phase and testing is free. You do not need to upgrade.
02. screen options
Clicking on the 'Screen Options' tab opens the 'Show on screen' menu, where you can select or deselect the options to show or hide dashboard modules.
03. help menu
Next to the screen options you can find general information about the features on the current screen. The tab is available on most screens, however, this is a standard WordPress feature and the information does not take our backyard reconstructions into account.
04. module: at a glance
The 'At a Glance' module shows a summary of the publications on your site. It displays the WordPress version, which theme you are using and your site's privacy settings.
'Search Engines Discouraged' is the setting for new sites. Once you start publishing, assuming public content, you should click the link and change the setting to 'Allow search engines to index this site'.
05. module: activity
In the activity module you find a summary of recent blog posts, comments and an overview of the total number of comments and how they were (or were not yet) treated (6).
Backyard menuaction menu
On the left side of the screen is the main navigation menu detailing each of the administrative functions you can perform. At the bottom of that section is a Collapse menu button that shrinks the menu into a set of icons.

The past couple days, it's been a struggle with my heart.
Why would one go against seeing his own kids?
Yes, it would help me too but he gets more time with the kids.. what kind of dad argues against that?
And the fact that me working more would also mean a better life for the kids.. why argue against that?
There is so much more I want to give the kids than just getting by.
This is such a good age for them to get invovled in extracurricular activities but he doesnt want to pay his half for that either and its something I can't afford on my own.
And not even that but I'm aiming towards a better life for them.
A forever home. Memories. Friends. Experiences.
Each night, I'd go to bed with a bitter heart and I would give it all to God.
Each morning, I wake up with a renewed spirit and a heart filled with joy and love.
My situation isn't any better but my heart is in a better place.
I couldn't be more thankful for that.
Sometimes, God isn't going to change the circumstances, maybe not now, maybe never. But he will always be there.
Continuously praying for my growth in faith and my heart transformation.
I may have forgiven my ex for the past but I also need to forgive him for the present and the future just as God has done for me.
I need to see him through the lenses of God's grace.
I need to let the annoyance and bitterness go and keep my eyes on the who I CAN depend on 💕

Getting Our Red Rocks On/
We left Holbrook, Arizona on May 1 for breakfast in Winslow - just so I could be standing on the corner in Winslow Arizona. Yup, that's the place made famous in the Eagles song Take It Easy. We arrived fairly early in the morning and could hear various Eagles tunes broadcasted into the neighborhood as we walked the now popular intersection. It was fun and definitely kitschy! After breakfast we continued our drive into Sedona. This visit was the third May we've spent in the West Sedona vicinity, and as always had a great time at an Airbnb home in a quiet neighborhood with gorgeous red rock views.
D and I enjoyed getting our red rocks on, so to speak, with him finding red dirt for bike riding, me running the hills and neighborhoods of our temporary home, and many hikes together. I was even able to get some laps in at the lovely community pool – yes, the very one where I was able to swim laps with the Brazilian Olympic Swim Team two years ago. It was great catching up with friends and having D's Mom, Mary Vee, stay with us for a bit. We found time to do some trip planning and dot connecting for future travels, and I put a wrap on my book, It Is What It Is now available at Amazon. Note the link in the right hand column.
Here's a recap of our time in Sedona:
We ate too much and loved the bottomless mimosas at L'Auberge's Sunday brunch.
We had a great train adventure on the Verde Valley train one afternoon.
We hiked, and hiked some more – here's a few of the trails...
While the blog posts are lagging behind our whereabouts, you can always check the location link above to see where in the world the DaMClark's are.
Thanks for joining our journey.
Stay tuned,

Buyer Seller Balance. Is it Overboard?
December 11th, 2008, No Comments
For some time, the common wisdom has been that we are in a buyer's market. In the initial stages, sellers did not agree, optimistically believing that everything would turn around "in the next few months" or "in the Spring". As Spring turned into Summer and Summer turned into the financial bloodletting that we call Fall, […]

In October of 2011 I had the opportunity to travel to East Africa. While I only spent a day or two in Kenya, I was able to go out and visit with the Maasai People. The organization my husband and I work for, Global Aid Network, has a trusted relationship there and throughout the years they have helped build schools, water wells, and more. I spent the day getting to know some of the ladies as well as hearing the stories of the kids who attend the school. The first set of photos are of Charity. She is so precious! Her mother led us into their hut and then let us photograph her family. She wanted her Bible in her hand as we photographed them so everyone would know she was a Christian. Then her and several other ladies proceeded to sing and dance for us.
I also had the privilege of meeting three brothers. Who are really the cutest things possible. They had to walk over 3 miles to get to school everyday, which is evident by the holes in their shoes. But now thanks to the new school they can attend classes in their own village! And hopefully get some new shoes soon.
And one of my favorite stories is of Grace. She was not allowed to go to school like the other kids in her village. Her father would beat her and force her to work all day long. Our Kenyan partners heard of this and every time they would visit they would ask Grace's father to let her go to school. Finally after numerous times of asking her father agreed. Now Grace is healthy (since she receives food at school), she is happy, and her father does not beat her and force her into child labor. "The change is significant!", Joshua and Tabitha (Kenyan partners who work in this area) tell me.

"How much does it pay?"
A common theme at jazz school (and other art schools) is constantly being pressured by classmates to "be unique" or overly "distinguished" within a small, already exclusive field of music. This leads to elitist and entitled behaviors born of insecurity. Some examples of this include the refusal of young musicians to:
- play with certain people,
- play at venues that aren't "nice" enough
- play certain types of music
- play for too little pay
Beginning with the first point, this doesn't necessarily refer to people you've had exceedingly negative experiences with, but more to people who aren't "good enough" by your own 19 year old grammy-band making standards. Something to remember is that if you're someone who's got a head start on the music game, you sound good because of the circumstances of your early education which has consisted of 15 years at most. Other people who go to your "jazz school" haven't been as fortunate as you, but the thing you both (hopefully) have in common is that everyone is trying to improve. Do not be the talented young asshole in your fundamental classes that either doesn't ever come to class, or thinks everyone sucks because they're less <insert narcissistic adjective here> than you. The only person holding you back in your "Ear Training 2A" class is the person you see in the mirror everyday at your ever-so-early 10:00am jazz history lecture where you're probably gonna be on facebook the whole time anyways.. In conclusion, if someone who hasn't been as fortunate as you in their musical upbringing asks you to play a session, give them a chance or rather, give yourself a chance because in the long run, you'll probably learn more about life (and things that matter a lot more than nailing the changes to giant steps) from helping them improve than they will from you.
If you're still reading, then you probably already know what I'm going to say about the second point-- No venue is "below" you or unworthy of any note you'll ever play. I understand how badly certain venues treat their musicians but this isn't a rant on crappy venues. This is a rant about people who will turn down an opportunity to perform potentially inspiring music simply because they refuse to play at a venue that's not good enough. I promise you, a huge amount of your favorite musicians on this planet have played at the trashiest places you can imagine, and they're only as good as they are because they did those gigs. If you want to get a week at the vanguard, don't be too full of yourself to play at a sketchy uptown club every now and then. Part of being a musician is performing. If you're not grateful for every opportunity you get to perform, then you mind as well stop practicing and either become a composer or producer (both of which are perfectly valid career paths). Again, I'm well aware of how terribly some venues treat musicians but refusing to play at a venue when given an opportunity, is not a good way to get better opportunities down the road.
The third point (young musicians who refuse to play certain types of music) is perhaps the most ridiculous and unwarranted. If you're a music student, and someone offers you a chance to perform music that's out of your comfort zone or even musical preference, turning it down is only going to stop you from learning literally anything. I'm not referring to cases in which the music goes against your moral or religious beliefs. I'm referring to cases in which you're too uncreative to figure out how to play a solo-saxophone beatles cover for a $200 wedding gig. (Yes I've done that before). In otherwords, give everything (especially yourself) a chance. You can learn a hell of a lot from playing music that you're not comfortable with or that you usually don't enjoy. You were called for a reason, it's not your responsibility to make them enjoy what you come up with based on their expectations especially if you've never done what they're looking for before. Side note: There's nothing wrong with recommending someone else you know for a gig you get called for that you sincerely think they'd be better equipped to handle.
Finally, the last point and perhaps the most important of them all is thinking about compensation. The way I like to think of this point is; determine what fair pay for a musical commitment is based on how humanized you will be for the commitment. In other words, if you're trying to build a reputation as a musician with a true voice rather than a <insert instrument name here> player, take every possible opportunity(regardless of pay) that gives you the necessary freedom to showcase that voice. I can say first hand that the level of certain bands (musically and otherwise) I've been asked to play in (for virtually no pay) has been far beyond anything I've ever been a part of. Moreover, I was likely the youngest member of both bands. This is because the leaders of both bands were fantastic human beings that humanized every single player they called. One of these band leaders said that the best players they've ever asked to play their music have never asked about pay, yet they keep coming back to play. That said, if you have the funds, ALWAYS pay your musicians for their time, but if you don't, reach out anyways because paying someone in respect is exceedingly more valuable. Most of the time, people will forget about money, but they won't forget the experience. Finally, I feel obligated to say that being called by other musicians (especially whom you respect) is a compliment and honor. Being called by weddings/parties/events/other non musicians is business. If someone compliments you, responding to them by asking for money isn't a very nice thing to do, and most definitely will not result in you receiving more compliments.

In March, the city is packed with all range of art related activities. However, due to the pressure of an accelerating urban life, people are often left unfulfilled, with many choosing pleasure through distraction, only to be disappointed in its fleeting nature. The contradictions of tradition and modernity in city has left much to be desired, and occluded our appreciation for art and food.
If modern life has quenched your thirst for beauty and dulled your appetite for taste, please join us at 2018 Hong Kong Arts Centre Open House. On this day, people slow down their lives to appreciate the simple yet beautiful things in their shared ancestry. The event is 12 hours of inspiring activities, where art, food and life intersect at the nexus of our being.

Dear Cis Men,
I am tired of your complacency. I am tired of the violence you contribute to. I am tired of you basking in your male privilege. I am fucking tired.
I know what you're thinking and let me go ahead stop you there. Yes, I'm talking to you. Yes, I mean all cis men. You may be an activist. You may speak out against X, Y, or Z injustice. You may post a sympathetic article on Facebook or Twitter with a trending hashtag. You may have another identity that makes you an minority. You may go to a conference to listen and learn. You may donate to a worthy activist organisation. You may go to rallies and marches and have your voice heard.
But you are still fallible. You still contribute the violent cispatriarchy. You still benefit from that very system of violence that has caused:
- Seven trans women of colour to be murdered in the United States thus far in 2017
- 1 and 3 (cis) women worldwide to experience sexual and/or intimate partner violence in their lifetime (likely high rates for trans folks, but not enough data to say definitively)
- 40% of homeless youth to be LGBTQ
- 41% of transgender people to attempt suicide
- 9 in 10 LGBTQ teens to be bullied
- Trans women to be 49 times more likely to be HIV+ than the general population
- And countless other forms of systemic, daily violence
I know it's uncomfortable to hear, but your existence as a cis man means you benefit from violence against women and trans people. That's how privilege and oppression works.
It's comfy up on your perch of cis masculinity and I know you probably don't want to come down. But in order for justice to be achieved, you have got to come down and help us destroy that perch. And that means being uncomfortable. That means becoming defiant against every day forms of violence that you witness and contribute to. That means stepping up without stepping over the rest of us.
It's more than a like or a hashtag. It's more than sharing an article or showing up. It's more than having a conversation or convincing others. It's changing your daily actions and habits that stem from places of entitlement and privilege. It's learning not how to use your privilege for good but how to give up that privilege in an effort to completely overhaul the cistem.
Now, I'm not asking for perfection. We're all going to fuck up, myself included. But I am holding you to a higher expectation because you are the ones with a respected and privileged voice in this world. While the oppressed should be leading and driving the movements, you need to be there actively supporting that work (financially and otherwise) and making sure people fucking listen.
I'm tired of the violence. I'm tired of fighting for my right to simply exist. I'm fucking tired. Please, step up. I'm tired of waiting.


text: When I workout, the music I listen to is so so important! There is nothing worse than a bad song coming on mid sprint. Total buzzkill! To fix this, I created my own Spotify playlist with some of my favorite workout jams. I hope you can use this playlist to find the motivation you need to crush your next workout when you really aren't feeling it. I will be changing it monthly, so be sure to check back for updates!

You love yoga? You want to become a yoga teacher? How do you choose a yoga Teacher Training Course (TTC) that is the right one for you? Here are eight tips.
Who is teaching?
I think this is the most important question. Who is or are your teachers on the yoga Teacher Training Course? Do you have one teacher or more? What is their background? How many years have they been teaching and how many TTC's have they done?
Yoga is a combination of knowledge coming from books, from workshops and from own experience. There is a reason the Yoga Alliance (YA) wants teachers on a 200 hour Teacher Training Course to be at least and E-200 (Experienced 200) teacher. That means they have been teaching more than a thousand hours. The more and longer you teach the better you understand what yoga is, what it does and how to teach big groups.
It's also good to have more than one teacher. A yoga Teacher Training Course involves and asana and pranayama and meditation and alignment and teaching skills and anatomy and philosophy. It's pretty hard for one person to be an expert in all these subjects.
Make sure that the teacher on the website is really there and will teach the course. I've got friends who went to a TTC because of the great teachers on the website. Non of them were there. They informed and the school owner said that she asked all these teachers if they would do a TTC at her school in the near future. All said 'yes', so she had taken the liberty to put them on her site.
How intense do you want your training to be?
You can do a Yoga Teacher Training Course within a month or within four years time. For your first level – of a Yoga Alliance TTC – you have to do 200 hours of training. In the Netherlands there is an organisation of yoga teachers, that is not part of the Yoga Alliance. To become a member you have to do a four years teacher training. Shorter makes no sense, according to this organisation. If you do one with the Yoga Alliance you can do it within one month. There is something to be said for both approaches. As I said before, yoga knowledge is for a big part experienced based. You have to feel what yoga does with your body and mind overtime to understand it. So four years is a good argument.
At the same time: if you already have an intensive self practice, you know what yoga does with you. If you take an intense Teacher Training Course for a month you eat, breath and sleep yoga. You won't have time to do anything else. You will get a big understanding what it does with you as well, being so fully focused on it.
The long courses (one year or longer) are mostly spread out over a few weekends. Daily life gets into your way. You want to practice, but there is so much else to do. Before you know it, you have to go to another yoga training weekend and you still haven't done homework. If you recognize yourself in this, a short education might be an better option. If you're very disciplined or can't get away for a month, the longer option might suit you better.
What yoga style suits you?
Hatha, vinyasa flow, Ashtanga, Kundalini, yin yoga. There are many different styles of yoga. Before you start, ask yourself what style suits you and what style do you want to teach. This could be two different things. Hopefully it's not. It will make your choice easier.
Research the style, do a class in the style your thinking about to sign up for as a Teacher Training Course. I work at Sampoorna Yoga; among others. Our 200 hour TTC is Ashtanga (see video) based. A lot of people come in, without Ashtanga experience; only to find out Ashtanga isn't anything for them.
Do you learn how to make a yoga sequence?
A lot of Vinyasa flow schools teach you a standard yoga sequence. When you finish your training you can only teach the class they have learned you. You still don't know how to make sequences that stand out and make your students come back for more. If your happy to learn just one sequence one of those schools might be for you. If you want to be creative and make your own sequences – that are not only fun, but make anatomically and spiritually sense as well – you might want to go to a school that puts a lot of emphasis on sequencing and theming.
Where do you want to do your Teacher Training Course?
You can do a TTC all over the world now. If you want to do it next to your work it's a good idea to find one close by. If you want to fully immerse yourself into it, you can do one in another country. Just make sure your language skills are good enough when you decide to do one in another language. Philosophy and anatomy can be pretty complicated to understand; even in your own language.
A teacher can make a difference here as well. If you have one or more teachers who speak more languages they can explain some subjects after class in your language.
How much money do you want to spent?
You can go from really cheap till extremely expensive; depending on location, what is included and if you do your teacher training with a 'big name' or not. Teacher Training Courses in the West are mostly more expensive than those in countries like India. Food, accommodation is cheaper, which makes your TTC cheaper.
Big names are not always a guarantee for a good TTC. Some of the famous yogis will teach one or two classes and leave the rest to assistants. Some won't even teach a class. I've done workshops with David Swenson. He's one of the best teachers I've ever came across. But I've been to workshops of other famous yogis and hardly learned anything. On the 300 hour TTC at Sampoorna I work with Rachel Berryman. Known by the in-crowd, but not famous. Yet, she is by far the best asana teacher I've ever trained with.
There is now a new generation yogis out there: the Instagram famous ones. Some of them are really good teachers, but some are definitely not. Having nice photos doesn't mean a strong practice and doesn't mean good teaching skills. A friend of mine went to a workshop of an Insta-famous yogini at the Yoga festival in Goa. She came back really disappointed. It was by far the worst class she ever went to in her long yoga life.
How much philosophy will you get?
If you go to a Yoga Alliance registered school there is a minimum of philosophy hours you have to get during your training. Somehow not all schools make these standards. Yoga is a lot about asanas nowadays and often a Teacher Training Course focuses on the asanas. But yoga is so much more than asana. Even when you are not interested in teaching it, it's good to have the knowledge somewhere in your head. Your students might ask for it. And to be honest: I think it's beautiful to integrate it in your asana practice.
I've got a friend who had to read the Bhagavad Gita before her TTC. Every time the teacher was suppose to go over it during a philosophy class the class was canceled and the whole group went surfing. At the end of the course she had had zero philosophy classes. She could surf though, but that was not the reason she had gone on the training.
Where do you want to teach?
A lot of schools do a Teacher Training Course to educate their own new teachers. They will offer the best students a job. If you're after a job at your school, this might sound as a nice option. As I said before: there is a Dutch society of yoga teachers. You can do a TTC with one of the schools who is registered with this society. Afterwards you can teach in the Netherlands. If you want to teach international, you are better of to do a TTC with a Yoga Alliance registered school. This also gives you the opportunity to teach your own TTC's in the future. It might sound a bit far away, but it would be a shame if you've done all your education and you have to do it over again, because you choose the wrong institute to train at.

I Think I'm Drowning

I think I'm drowning.
Not literally of course, my lungs aren't actually filling with the sharp bite of frigid waters
Though they might as well be.

Still, all I see for miles is this great ocean.

Boy, am I happy to be able to share this wedding with you all!
I had the privilege of capturing Darius and Kate's wedding last month in Richmond. After wrapping up all the editing over the weekend, I don't think the day could've gone any more perfectly. There were just so many things that I love. I love being from Richmond. I love Overcast days. I love fall. I love goofy and spunky couples that are so in love with each other that I'm almost invisible.
