Auctioned photo book goes at four times price (From Dorset Echo)

Auctioned photo book goes at four times price
3:00pm Thursday 8th November 2012 in News By Laura Kitching
AN OLYMPIAN'S signature ensured this year's Dorset Echo annual photographic book sold for quadruple the price for a worthy cause at a charity auction in Weymouth.
Double Olympic medallist Nick Dempsey, who claimed silver at this year's home Games, put his stamp of approval on the glossy new publication, which showcases Dorset's beauty spots.
Weymouth windsurfer Nick also wrote the foreword for Dorset: A Photographic Journey in an Olympic Year, and this year's offering is bigger and better than ever with a special section on the historic event.
Hairdressing salon owner Shaun Hennessy was the highest bidder when the signed book was donated by the Dorset Echo to a charity auction at the Open4Business Awards dinner, held at Weymouth College.
The item raised £65 for O4B's chosen charity, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, which saves lives at sea.
In all, the evening raised £1,618 for the RNLI.
Shaun, of Blondz in St Edmund Street, said: "Obviously the reason we bought it was for a great cause.
"The night was all about helping the lifeboat charity and it's a great book with fantastic images of the town.
"Great memories, what a fantastic summer for us all to be able to remember.
"Obviously as Nick is one of our clients it seemed fair and sensible for us to support it."
Dorset: A Photographic Journey in an Olympic Year, costing £14.95, comes hot on the heels of another special souvenir publication produced by the Echo called When the World came to Weymouth, priced at £3.95.
Both books are available from the Dorset Echo offices on the Granby Industrial Estate, Weymouth and in Antelope Walk, Dorchester and the Bridport News office in East Street.

Sgt. Ralph Williams of the Walker County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the bomb threat was called in to the courthouse around 8 a.m. Members of the Sheriff's Office and Jasper Police Department responded.
"The courthouse was evacuated while a physical search and a search by a bomb dog from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was conducted," Williams said.
Precautions were also taken at Maddox Middle School, which is in close proximity to the courthouse.
Jasper City Schools Superintendent Robert Sparkman said students were not allowed to go outside for any reason, including P.E., because of the bomb threat. Classes remained in session.
"We had some folks posted outside to keep an eye on what was happening at the courthouse. Chief (Connie) Rowe kept us up-to-date on what was going and gave us the all-clear when everything was OK," Sparkman said.
The scene was declared secure around 10:30 a.m., and employees and the public were allowed back into the courthouse.
An investigation of the bomb threat is being conducted by the Walker County Sheriff's Office. The person or persons behind the threat will potentially face criminal charges in both federal and state court, according to Williams.
"The disruption of judicial functions and courthouse business will not be tolerated. We will aggressively pursue those responsible," he said.
Thursday's bomb threat was the third to affect Walker County in the past year.
A bomb threat was called in to Walker Baptist Medical Center in July, and another bomb threat shut down the Marshall Durbin chicken processing plant in August.

A double dose of good news from a FOX 29 "Getting Results" story we brought you back in October.
The dangerous, long-vacant rowhome next door to Milton Boscana's place on the 3900 block of North Delhi St. in Philadelphia's Hunting Park section has been demolished, and the Boscana's are taking the next step to ensure the now-empty lot stays clean and safe.
When he looks out his door now, Milton sees "A relief!"
First, the demo.
The home had been falling down for years when FOX 29's Bruce Gordon was called to the scene.
A large tree growing up through the kitchen seemed to be holding the place together!
Falling bricks landed on Milton's back patio.
And the smell from illegally dumped trash?
But after Gordon's phone calls, city council president Darrell Clarke's office quickly went to work, and demolition crews were on the scene the week before Thanksgiving.
Milton says the first man in the door came out gagging. "There was a lot of dead animals inside the house. They found a lot of corpses of animals, like cats and dogs, inside."
Now, Milton's mother and brother are acting to keep the lot looking good.
"We filled out an application where we're basically being responsible for the lot," says Nestor Boscana.
It's actually a little more complicated.
The now-empty lot is technically private property.
But it's heading to sheriff's sale because of delinquent taxes.
If the city gets control, Lydia Boscana will agree to care for the property- keep it free of trash, or illegally parked cars.
In return, she gets to use the land.
"She basically just wants to take the lot and turn it into a nice little garden," says Nestor, translating for his mother's Spanish.
And her smelly, dangerous neighbor becomes an urban oasis.
"She keeps saying the same thing," says Nestor. "Like, 'I love it! it's like hitting a jackpot!'"
Keeping the neighborhood clean is a never-ending battle in some Philly neighborhoods.
Even as we arrived on North Delhi for our follow-up report, another neighbor approached to point out a pile of more than two dozen sliced up tires, illegally dumped just up the block from Milton's home.

A new and somewhat controversial license plate in Iowa has some people celebrating and others up in arms.
Iowa drivers can now get a license plate that says "Choose Life," a slogan popularized by anti-abortion groups.
Marian Bourek is executive director of Dubuque County Right to Life.
"We're very excited that it's finally happened," she said.
Anti-abortion groups statewide have been working to make this license plate a reality for some nine years, Bourek said.
"We need[ed] 500 applications for them to produce them, then you can get as many as you want after that," she said, referring to Iowa Department of Transportation rules for proposing new specialized license plates.
Getting 500 paid applications is exactly what pro-life groups across Iowa teamed up and did.
Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Division director Mark Lowe said this "Choose Life" specialty plate is the most controversial one the department has ever printed. Still, Lowe said, it's not the department's job to judge the message.
"That's not the proper role for the government. That plate becomes the organization's speech and the speech of the people who put that on the vehicle," he said. "By the same token, if someone with a differing viewpoint came forward and their application met our rules...then they would be subject to go through the same process and have the same opportunity."
A proposed specialty plate must not be sexually, racially or ethnically degrading and may not serve as advertising for a company, Lowe said.
"Does the design interfere or not interfere with the function of the plate?" Lowe said, listing criteria the department uses to evaluate a proposed specialty plate. "It's not vulgar? Those types of things. You know, beyond those types of things, we don't want to get involved in the viewpoint."
Among other requirements, a proposed specialty plate must also have 500 people submit and make a payment on an application for the plate before the department will approve it. Lowe said the department uses that money for the costs associated with printing a new plate, in response to some people's concern that taxpayer dollars are funding a controversial specialty plate.
Iowa is the 29th state in the US to have some form of anti-abortion specialty plate available.
KWWL contacted Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, which has no comment on the new plates.
Iowa offers more than 60 specialty plates, but Lowe said that puts the state about in the middle, nationally. Some states, such as South Carolina, have more than 200.

Divorcing your partner can be a very painful emotional experience; however, the financial devastation can be equally as painful. You may be used to a standard of living and with the divorce, your income is cut in half and you end up shouldering all of the household expenses instead of splitting them.
It's hard enough to divide up joint purchases without having to worry about how the money you do make will be affected - and if you weren't working, how you will now survive and obtain an income. There are laws set in place to protect both parties in the middle of a divorce, and it's good to know what they are so that you can ensure a quality life after the person you once loved has left your life.
- Establish Credit and Accounts In Your Name. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to establish credit cards and bank accounts in your name alone. In the middle of a bitter battle, emotions can sometimes result in negative actions, such as pulling all money from accounts. Opening your own accounts and pulling out only what's yours can help you protect your finances.
- Understand Child Support Rights. If you are deemed the primary guardian of your children. then you may need help paying for what two parents used to finance. Often, parents are able to manage finances for children just as easily as they could together. However, in some instances, one parent is forced to handle this financial obligation alone. In order to protect your divided income, you can file for child support. This will require the second parent to pay a sum each month to help support the child. If you don't think you'll get help from your ex-spouse, it's good to learn the child support rights of your state.
- Understand Your Legal Entitlements. If you or your spouse decided not to work, because of children or otherwise, then alimony will come into play. The working person will now owe the unemployed partner alimony. Of course, there are ton of laws to consider (including whether the partner signed a pre-nuptial agreement).
- Keep Your Emotions (and Legal Wranglings) in Check. You may be a bit tempted to get back at your partner by coming up with more to fight over in court; however, this can hurt emotions and finances. The longer you stay in court fighting, the more you're sure to spend in legal fees.
- Work with Your Partner to Divide Assets. A way that both partners can properly protect assets is to sit down and work together. This way, you can spend less time having your lawyers negotiate these items for you. But even more, you can keep the peace between you, which is needed to make the split as smooth as possible.
- If You Plan to Keep the Family Home ... come up with a realistic housing budget that will help you manage the greater expenses. As a guideline, your housing expenses should make up only 35% of your income.
- Increase Your Insurance Coverages. Since you will no longer have a second income to fall back on (and the additional support for your children may not be as reliable) it's good to increase both your life and disability insurance coverages. If you don't have either, now's the time to get them! Check Go Banking Rates partner site, GoInsuranceRates.com for life insurance quotes.
- Be Prepared to Claim Social Security. If you are 62 or older and were married for at least 10 years then you are eligible for Social Security benefits based on your ex-spouse's earnings. However, this is only the case if no one has remarried.
When a couple is divorcing, emotions can run high enough without throwing financial grievances into the mix. So as you're going through the process, it's good to communicate with your ex-partner to create as much peace and positive emotion as possible. This will also help to protect finances, and most importantly, create a more amicable split.

All eyes but mainly ears were on the Naples Bayfront Saturday night.
The "Rockin' on the Bay" concert series celebrated it's second week, with some restrictions.
Whether you were down low or up high however all ages were Rockin' on the Bayfront.
"People are having a great time. It seems to have caught on," said one Bayfront Charles Kunstler.
Though its these guys pumpin' out the tunes.
It's Mike Randal who's the hardest working man in show business.
"We're giving it the "Disneyesque" feel to it so we're giving people a magically day at Bayfront on the bay and making sure everyone is taken care of we're trying to please everyone," said Randal.
The start of this concert series a week ago was music to the ears of many, including business owners
"It's great for business down here it's what Bayfront needs," said Ej's owner Eric Becker
Not everyone agrees, last week the event hit a sour note to some.
"It was all brass, it was all bass," said resident Rosemary Russo.
This week she's singing a different tune.
"This is much more enjoyable, they are getting louder as the evening goes on but as long as they keep it in range," said Russo.
City leaders say concerns over noise hasn't fallen on deaf ears.
Which is why code enforcement was keeping a close ear on the action.
"As long as people follow our city ordinances our city code i'm happy to keep events like this in the city," said Councilman Sam Saad.
Wednesday, Naples City Council will meet to discuss the noise issue.
Event officials hope tonight is all they'll proof they'll need to keep "Rockin on the Bay".

Hiring In The IT Channel: Finding People With The Right Skills Is Just The Beginning
Recently, I was having lunch with the CEO of an IT security company and we were talking about what she really needs in IT staff. "Let me tell you what I don't need," she said. "I don't need somebody who will work 9:00 to 5:00 and go home thinking that his or her day is done. I don't need somebody who is going to hide behind a computer. What I do need are people who will give everything they have to my company and my end clients."
Sales Is Still A Numbers Game
But, the numbers that you need to monitor and measure have changed dramatically, and I do mean dramatically. Back in my early days of selling for IBM, one of our management's mantra was "calls plus presentations equals sales," and that worked.

President Obama awarded the Medal of Honor to an army soldier for going above the call of duty during his service in Afghanistan.
Staff Sergeant Ty Michael Carter became the fifth living recipient to be awarded the nation's highest military decoration. The army says that in 2009, Carter was under fire when he killed enemy troops and helped his division triumph over a Taliban force eight times their size. Carter also braved intense enemy fire and risked his life to save an injured soldier. The soldier later died in surgery after Carter got him to safety.
Carter was joined by his wife and three children and forty members of his family at the white house ceremony.
President Obama spoke at the ceremony:
Before they came, Ty said he was hoping to take his children around Washington to show them the sites and the history. But Jaden, Madison[,] if you want to know what makes our country truly great, if you want to know what a true American hero looks like then you don't have to look too far. You just have to look at your dad, because today he is the site we've come to see. Your dad inspires us just like those big monuments and memorials do. This is a historic day. The first time in nearly half a century since the Vietnam war that we've been able to present the medal of honor to two survivors of the same battle.
Carter, diagnosed with PTSD, hopes to use the honor to help other soldiers who suffer from post-traumatic stress by motivating them to seek help.

As mandated, there are two programs in which premises that have farmed or captive CWD susceptible species must participate. Only "Certified CWD Technicians," accredited veterinarians or state/federal government officials may extract samples from dead cervids.
A properly completed and signed chain of custody form and submission form must accompany all CWD samples for testing from the moment they leave the premise of source herd until the moment they arrive at the laboratory. A submission form; including sample identification, is required with the samples. The form must be filled out completely.
CWD Herd Certification Program (HCP) - Is a program of surveillance and related actions designed to determine the CWD status of farmed or captive deer and elk herds. Herds that complete five years of the program with no evidence of CWD will be designated as certified.
CWD Herd Monitored Program (HMP) - Is a program of surveillance and related actions designed to monitor farmed or captive deer and elk herds for CWD. It differs from the HCP with requirements and a certified status cannot be achieved with this program. Live animals cannot move from this program unless 30 have been tested for CWD. Then they can move to shooting preserve or slaughter facility only. CWD testing requirements for susceptible species 12 months of age and older are:
Other requirements of the HMP are:

Morris Chesnut's name is one I haven't heard much of later; scanning his IMDB resume... the last time he appeared on any screen was in ABC's re-imagining of the 1983 sci-fi miniseries V , which was cancelled in May this year. He was on it for the 2 seasons it aired.
He hasn't appeared on the big screen since 2009's Not Easily Broken, opposite Taraji P. Henson.
Chestnut appears to be getting back into the swing of things, as he has signed on to appear in the FX network's new upcoming drama American Horror Story, for a major multi-episode arc.
He'll play a character named "Luke" in the series which debuts on October 5th, and will star Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton as "a married couple who move into an older Los Angeles home with a haunted history."
No word on how Chestnut's "Luke" character will be involved in the series' story.
But here's an intriguing preview of it:

text: Healthy Grilling Tips From Ellie Krieger Ellie Krieger's Top 10 Tips For Healthy Grilling by POPSUGAR Food 6/15/10 0 Reactions 3 Shares Print 2 1 0 0 0 When I chatted it up with Food Network host and nutrition expert Ellie Krieger last week, she had plenty of suggestions for staying healthy during the coming months of Summer entertaining. In addition to discussing Father's Day meals, the Chefs Move to Schools program, and the new Cooking Channel, I asked Ellie to share her top cookout tips. Here are 10 of Ellie's ways to get healthy while grilling up a storm. Work the dry rub. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Unlike wet marinades, dry rubs — which don't contain any syrups or oils — add punch but no calories. Ellie likes "rubbing a meat with a dried chile rub with garlic, cumin, and whatever else in my cabinet inspires me." Source: Thinkstock 1 / 10 Use lean cuts of meat. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Grill equals fatty meat to a lot of people," Ellie says, "but it doesn't have to be that way." To keep your feast hearty, try a lean meat such as flank steak, New York strip, or sirloin. She recommends using meats that are 90 percent lean or higher — cuts that usually include the words "loin" or "round" in the name. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 10 Control portions. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A healthy portion of meat, fish, or poultry is three ounces, approximately the size of a deck of cards, or the size of a palm (minus the fingers). Source: Thinkstock 3 / 10 Make tacos the star of the meal. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "One of my favorite things to make are soft tacos," says Krieger. "They help keep the portions smart." Opt for small, soft corn tortillas, which are less gut-busting than their deep-fried crispy and larger flour counterparts. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 10 Keep it fresh with mix-ins. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When making meat tacos, incorporate toppings that enhance texture and flavor without extra grease or sugar. Examples include shredded cabbage or lettuce, chopped fresh cilantro leaves, and a squeeze of lime. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 Think outside of the burger bun. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Standard cookout fare like burgers and sausage aren't the only kids on the barbecue block. Choose lighter options like salmon or skewered shrimp, which both take well to the intensely smoky flavor of grilling. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 Slice meat thinly. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Krieger recommends slicing meat superthin along the bias. Cutting against the grain will ensure your protein isn't stringy; thin slices help with portion control, but give the illusion of more volume. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 10 Add flavor, not fat, to carbs. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pick a fit-friendly carb — like whole-wheat tortilla or pita bread — and throw it over the flame for phenomenal charred flavor. Source: Thinkstock 8 / 10 Serve healthy vegetables on the side. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Krieger recommends something fun and fresh, such as grilled corn, which adds to the outdoor entertaining mantra of eating with your hands. If corn isn't your thing, try skewers of barbecued bell peppers, zucchini, and Summer squash. Source: Thinkstock 9 / 10 Make your own condiments. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rather than reaching for store-bought ketchup, make it yourself to control the quality and quantity of the ingredients. When making ketchup, use nutrient-rich molasses as a sweetener, rather than high fructose corn syrup. 11 / 10 2 1 0 0 0 Read More Healthy TipsSlideshowEllie KriegerGrilling TipsGrillingBbqSummerHealthy summer 28 Ways to Get Your Berry Fix Before Summer Is Over 3 hours ago End Summer on a High Note With Peach-Salsa-Topped Salmon Tacos 5 hours ago How Your Summer Stacks Up Against the Celebrities' 15 hours ago Your Search For the Perfect Cherry Pie Is Over 1 day ago Beyond Spaghetti: 10 Things to Do With Pesto 1 day ago 10 DIY Snacks For the Road (and 10 Alternatives For on the Run) 1 day ago grilling End Summer on a High Note With Peach-Salsa-Topped Salmon Tacos 5 hours ago Just Grill It! 6 Unexpected Foods to Throw on the 'Cue 2 days ago Taste a Glimmer of Hawaii With Islands Restaurant's Burger 4 days ago Your Cheat Sheet to American Regional Barbecue 4 days ago The Only Way to Know When Grilled Meat Is Done 6 days ago Get Over Your Fear of Grilling With Cat Cora's Clever Tips 1 week ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Group Fiction and Poetry Reading with Lance Olsen, Hanna Andrews, Eryn Green, and Trevor Dodge
Date: Thursday, September 4th at 7:00 PM
Location: Ken Sanders Rare Books (268 S. 200 E. | SLC, UT 84111)
Ken Sanders Rare Books is pleased to announce a group fiction and poetry reading with Lance Olsen, Hanna Andrews, Eryn Green, and Trevor Dodge at 7:00 PM on Thursday, September 4th at our downtown bookstore (268 South 200 East, SLC, UT). Each of the artists will be reading their work and will have books available for purchase and signing. This event is free and open to the public, please join us!View Details
Ken Sanders Rare Books will be seeking a new home.
July 15, 2014Dear Friends and Patrons of Ken Sanders Rare Books,
Sometime in the next 3-5 years our bookshop will be relocating. Over the past year our landlord has thrown us (and the rest of our East Broadway neighbors) under the developmental bus. The entire northwest corner at 300 South and 200 East has been taken over by a real estate developer. We have enjoyed being here for the past seventeen years and I have always known that this day would come. The low rent that we have paid over the years here has enabled the bookshop to grow from a small operation, with my daughter Melissa and myself being the only employees, to a large thriving bookshop with six full-time employees: Kent & Katie Tschanz, Travis Low, Esther Cannon, James Long and myself -- along with Melissa Sanders part-time and doing her own thing with Red Queen Book Arts, which is just around the corner from us and will likewise be affected by the development.
We would very much like to stay in the downtown area, but we may not be able to afford it. Bookshops have traditionally thrived in low rent districts of downtown areas in cities across America. We require lots of square footage, but can't afford to pay market rates. Going forward, we would like to find a new home with 4,000 - 6,000 square feet of space and ample parking. We believe we have at least three years to find a new home, but we have already started to look around for available spaces that will work for us.
Don't be alarmed by this news; the bookshop is healthy and thriving. In many ways a new home will enable us to go forward to the next generation. I am committed to the process of finding a new home for us, prior to my fading off into the sunset. We have teamed up with Vasilios Priskos and his Internet Properties team. No one knows downtown real estate better than Vasilios and we are hopeful that he and his team can get us into that fabled new home. Given our needs for lots of space at a modest rate, it isn't going to be easy. I invite any of you to be a part of the process, and when the time comes, we'll be sure to call upon you to come help us move all of these bloody books! Better yet, come buy them now and that problem will be solved!
Ken Sanders, on behalf of Kent & Katie Tschanz, Travis Low, Esther Cannon, James Long, and of course, Melissa Sanders.
PS: Our annual July sale begins July 24th at noon and runs through July 31st. Almost everything will be on sale at 25% off: books, posters, maps, postcards, and ephemera! The gallery will feature many brand new arrivals available at the sale price!
Katie Lee's new book, The Ghosts of Dandy Crossing, is now available from Dream Garden Press!
Customers may order the book here. If you are a bookseller, please contact us directly via e-mail or phone for bulk ordering.
"Katie is an un-equaled storyteller, one of our most important folk singers for the last seventy years, and a writer-activist who has always been on the front lines of the vanishing West. She rode the rivers, and has lived what others only dream of. To read Katie Lee is to read great and true history not besotted with the bullshit of academic historians." -Tom Russell.

Five Reasons to go Topless in Cape Town

Grapes, Gourmet and Gallery Evening at Winchester Mansions

'Da Vinci: The Genius' comes to Cape Town
Walking through the 'Da Vinci: The Genius' exhibition at the Chavonnes Battery Museum in the V&A Waterfront, is like stumbling upon a porthole leading to a brilliant mind.
Top Braai Spots for Reconciliation Day
If there is one thing Capetonians are good at – other than socialising, of course – it's braaing. Whether it's meat or fish, you can be sure that on a spectacular summer's day (or even on a winter's day), you will find us gathered around the fire, enjoying each other's company, the tantalising aroma of meat on the grill and our breathtaking city views.
A Visitor's Guide to Accessible Cape Town
Cape Town can, with some careful planning, deliver a really enjoyable holiday experience for visitors with special access needs. Whilst we have some distance to go to being a completely Universally Accessible (UA) destination, awareness is on the rise and with it the number of improvements made to our city.
My Top Five Picnic Spots in Cape Town
Even the word picnic is loaded with nostalgia; for me it holds memories of homemade frikkadels, chicken drumsticks and large cold drinks enjoyed with friends and family in special places. Your picnic basket may have changed, as mine has. The frikkadels and drumsticks are from the deli and the chilled drink is more likely to be a local wine. What does remain the same is sharing this time with loved ones, in places that leave me feeling inspired and relaxed.
Cape Town Opera 2011: A season of elegance and eclecticism
Photo provided by the Cape Town Opera Cape Town Opera launched their 2011 season to a full house at the Artscape Theatre on February 2, 2011. It was a surprisingly diverse audience, with both sophisticated operagoers and hip, young opera fans bearing testament to the success of the opera's enc!re programme, aimed at making opera accessible to young professionals who love the art and enjoy networking in the city's trendiest spots (while making conversation about contraltos and cabalettas over cocktails). Host and MC Alan Committie even commented at one point in the evening on what a ridiculously good-looking audience it was.

He had no backstory, no face, nothing. I just wanted to create a character that was a badass, yet with a sense of humor.I was inspired by such characters as Boba Fett, Wolverine, Deadpool and Clint Eastwood from The Man With No Name trilogy. I needed to create something that fit that build, however, I'll admit, it wasn't intended at first.I uploaded him on December 8th, 2008, (which, you can find here: http://danluvisiart.deviantart.com/art/GABRIEL-107612010?q=gallery%3Adanluvisiart%2F7848546&qo=50) and he became one of the most popular characters of the series, if not, the most. Soon I started finding him on forums, websites, fashion blogs (what?), and more.But what hit me so hard was that the majority of the comments rela

What would the pages look like? What is a Killbook?In the story, before Gabriel breaks out of Level-9, he is introduced to an "Agent-O, a character that gives Gabriel the documents needed to begin this revenge quest.

I couldn't draw, I couldn't write, I couldn't be creative. I felt trapped, sick to my stomach and had an ongoing feeling of anxiety.I would get up, walk around, and force ideas. Stupid, uncreative and rushed thoughts. I went upstairs and laid down next to my gf at the time,

I guess this could have been one of my first 'big time' jobs, so I was a little ecstatic. It felt like a slow build to get to this point, after numerous indie games and under the table freelance jobs, but finally it had come.I was working with my now best friend and business partner, Stephan, a suave German who I had met only a year or so prior. He had brought me into the fray, working with several other individuals who will, well, simply be known as individuals for privacy sake.But yes, finally, I could put a professional company I
A little story...Wanted to share this story with you guys, and future creators: After getting out of a slump, I wanted to share this story of something I went through a few years back. Bit of a read, but thanks for sticking through it As you know, Comic-Con is arriving and as I prepare for it, I grow more and more anticipated with anxiety/joy in regards to the re-release of Last Man Standing. As long, challenging, and mind-opening the creation of LMS was, something really stuck with me. Before I had created LMS, I wanted to work for WETA Workshop. To those that don't know them, they've created props, designs, sets, costumes, and more for The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, District-9, Elysium, The Hobbit and many more films. I was obsessed and inspired with them. The creator, Richard Taylor was always a huge inspiration to me. After viewing supplements on the Extended Editions of The Lord of the Rings DVDS, I knew right there: I HAD TO WORK FOR THEM.So I al
To inspire.(Little long, but hopefully you'll read)When I first sold LMS to Paramount, a lot of people asked me: "How much money did you get?" "You're probably rich now, right?"I mean, the solid gold mansion I bought was just a little gift to myself...but...Ever since I was little, I've known I wanted to draw. From the day my parents put a pencil in my hand, this was my future. I just knew it, I had that gut feeling. So I stuck to it, and thankfully it took me to heights I'd have never imagined possible. Now with my new book Redemption heading off to studios soon for a hopeful movie package, I can't wait to see where this new road takes me.That said, there's something else that tops all of this.The other night I went out to visit my girlfriend's cousin and her family. Incredibly kind people with very sweet kids. Other than the two parents, there were 3 kids, but the one who caught my interest was the eight-year old boy, Diego.Diego, shy, tiny, slender, reminded me of myself when I was his a
Happy New YearLet's all start the year off with some stuff I wish I had growing up: So I read an article last night on people who are mentally strong and the DO NOTS of being that person. I took those notes, and listed them, including how I learned to overcome these obstacles. It's a long read, sorry, but I figured this year it's time to open up and share that knowledge that I was once taught by someone I consider my mentor, business partner and bestfriend, Stephan. 1. Don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself - I used to feel this way as a kid. I was a child of divorce, and used it as a crutch when I was younger. I hate a (mentally) abusive step-mom who would constantly take me down. I began to feel that maybe it was true, and I wasn't going to be the person I wanted to be. You can't think that way. No one likes or enjoys a Debbie Downer. Someone who is constantly on the negative or pining for sympathy. I began to overcome these complications with art or writing. Using tha

So you've decided to talk to an artistHey everybody, this is going around over on tumblr, but I feel like it's just as relevant here and it's a really good informational post for people that have/want to have good dealings and interactions with online artists. Because seriously, these are really good things to know. (I mean, I've been pestered by almost all of these at some point or another, and if people had read these they might have saved me a lot of annoyance) So give it a read if you'd like. The original post comes from www.phantom42.tumblr.comDon't tell an artist, "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!" or "I would totally buy that!" if you're not ready and/or willing to back it up with an actual purchase. Artists love that you love the piece, but often produce pieces/quantities based on apparent interest and potential customers. Gauges of potential buyers and gauges of general interest are both very important, but they are very different.
What is your Drawing Skill Level?All of the images featured in this article come from archives of my own work so not to impose unwanted criticism. The intention of this article is not to categorize artists, but to categorize similarities of different skill levels of representational drawing. Please also note that skill level in representational drawing does not equate to the worth of an artist's creative ability. But skill in representational drawing is very important to have in a lot of art disciplines. It is a skill that takes a lifetime to learn. Skill does not come from talent. Instead, talent affects the perseverance, discipline, and desire of the individual to develop skill.What is Representational Drawing? Representational drawing is a fancy way of saying trying to re-create something you see in real life on paper (or whatever you are drawing on). When we turn about 10 or 11 years old, or brains begin to develop a different perception of visual space than what we could understand before in the earlier y
Is Reference Bad?I feel like I've addressed this before at some point, in some other journal, but I find myself either discussing this with people a lot, or coming across people who on their work proudly claim to have "used no reference."The biggest problem, and misconception, regarding references is that people feel like it's cheating or that it somehow cheapens their work. While I can understand the sense of accomplishment coming from using no reference to finish a painting or drawing, people who consistently do it are only hurting themselves in the long run. So in short, no, reference isn't bad.Artists have been using reference since the days of the old masters. They would reference life, whether it be landscapes, objects on a table, or models standing in a studio. They would even reference their own sketches or other people's work in order create convincing paintings.For some reason, a lot of people today seem to think that in order to be a good artist, they have to be able to do things without

Few words about art-thieves.Hi!So.My dear watchers, I really appreciate your support when it comes to fight against art-thieves.But I bet there are also many people whose thoughs can be interpretted like "why is she so hysterical about it?". Some people say, that the fact, that some photo is worth stealing, is a kind of compliment.Ok, so let me present my point.At first: why am I so unhappy about reposting of photos?Because, pals, if somebody just reposts a photo without any change, it just gives totally open space to other people who would find the photos on his/her blog, taking it and posting it themselves. And because the first person did not credit the original author, they also do not credit the creator. The more people do that, the more times the photo is reposted. Always without credit. Sooner or later, it becomes a kind of "public" property and original author has almost no chance to effect this situation.Do you know this photo? Honestly, EVERYBODY knows it. But do you know original author? Do you
Art theft is not a crime - say NO to copyrightToday, a DD was awarded to a nice acrylic painting (below left) which was painted from my photo (below right) - Just about the only thing I don't like about is the strong cyan tint, which seems to be more associated with the photo of the painting rather than then painting itself. Overall it's definitely one of the best derivative works I've yet to see based on my photos. I really enjoyed exploring how all the little details differed between the two.Rpriet1 did not ask for my permission, or inform me of using my photo. A DA gallery moderator just messaged to ask whether I would like the deviation removed, and the DD revoked. I think most artists who've had their work "stolen" would be outraged, but for me the answer was a very unambiguous no. This is a complicated issue, and I think that the vast majority of the readers will disagree with me at this point, so let me explain my position carefully.The concept of intellectual property, the way it ex

Reason was, this was my project.Not that I can't cooperate or collaborate, but this time I wanted to create what I saw in my head, and not have a voice behind me telling me what to do and what not to do. Kevin Eastman, head of HM Pub, was incredibly generous in this decision and told me to lead the way, and I tried my damnest.So I started with the obvious fundamentals.

The ruby red cranberries not only impart their tart flavor to this dish, but they also tint the juices a lovely rose color. And the crispy topping can only be described as tasting like the best oatmeal cookie ever.

Pumpkin Crunch
While I love the idea of "dump cakes," I dislike the artificial ingredients in store bought cake mix. When I found organic cake mix at my local Trader Joe's, I thought I'd give it another go, using my favorite pumpkin pie recipe as its base, which calls for heavy cream instead of evaporated milk. Because it takes just moments to put together, this should not only be a part of your holiday dessert buffet, but would also be suitable for a sweet treat any night of the week. It was so delicious kids practically licked the casserole dish clean.Read More

· Opinions on the best budget background support system
I'm looking to purchase a background support system that will be portable and capable of photographing primarily head shot's up to full body portraits (I will be photographing primarily attorneys, MD's, etc).
I'd like some input from photographers on here that already have background support systems on what the best portable background support system is for indoor use (I could end up using it in places as small as a small to medium sized office).
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
So far I have my eye on this:
But I'm thinking that it might be too large and a better deal might be out there on Ebay or Amazon.
All the best.

You should probably go for a kit like what you originally listed, and not try for anything "smaller". You do not need to use all the sections in the top bar if you want less width. You did not say if you were going to work with cloth background or seamless paper, but for cloth the kit you listed goes long enough to handle 10 foot wide cloth background. The smallest standard background paper is just under 9 feet, and some background supports will only handle that width and not full 10 foot cloth.
You are not going to want anything less than the 9 foot width. It is supprising how often you run out of background width with a 9 foot background, expecially if you are trying to have plenty of seperation distance between your subject and the background, and are working in a location that has limited space for you to back away from your subject.
I like stands that are a little more rugged than the Impact brand ones, but if you handle them carefully and do not overload them and do not overtighten the knobs on them, they should serve you well. You can add some padding to any carry bag to protect them a little better, and then still handle things carefully while you transport them in the bag.
If you all ready have any lighting stands that are similar but perhaps a little bit better built, you could consider getting more of the same stands, and then getting just a top bar to use with them. One top bar that I like is made by Manfrotto, but it only goes to 9 feet wide.
The "poor man" background cloth that you can get are top sheets made for King size beds, and they will be about 9 feet, so they will fit on a 9 foot top bar, or obviously a longer one. One edge usually has a wide seam that can be opened up on the ends to slide the sheet on to a top bar. Walmart is one source of those, and the last time I purchased one they offered only the top sheet, so you did not need to buy a set.

Thanks for the advice guys I really appreciate it.
I ended up going with the set that dshipley mentioned. It has air cushioned stands vs the impact stands, is larger while still being adjustable, has more positive reviews, and seems to be of higher quality than the impact set which I first mentioned.
I will be using seamless paper for now.
All the best guys.

I'm glad I looked in on this thread; a background stand is one of the few items I wanted that I didn't have, and the above-mentioned Ravelli Air-cushioned set looked like just the ticket at that price and with free shipping from Amazon, so I just placed my order.

· Opinions on the best budget background support system
Well, my Ravelli ABSL Photo Video Backdrop Stand Kit arrived yesterday, and I have to say I'm a bit disappointed in the quality control.
The crossbar tubes all have scratches on them, enough so that I wonder if I received a returned used item.
To make matters worse, if the crossbar tubes are assembled and twisted to lock them, the holes in the end pieces that go over the stud on the uprights don't line up. If I twist the end piece enough to get it to slide over the stud, it comes unlocked.
There's enough length in the inserts to hold the tubes without sagging, but with them not all being locked there's a danger of them coming apart if someone pulls on one of the stands to move the setup.
Also, the length of the crossbar sections is such that three sections aren't long enough to clear the tube of a 9-foot seamless roll, and four sections leaves a silly amount of bar sticking out the ends of the tube.
The price was good, and overall the build is rugged enough that I think it'll hold up over time, but those three issues -- especially the safety factor -- make me unwilling to recommend this set to anyone else.

This review hasn't been rated yet.
If you've ever dreamed of opening your own restaurant, give up now. Jason Atherton has won. Social Eating House is just about perfect.
Granted, it's not fine dining – there are no tablecloths and there's an awful lot of covers. But as a lively, sexy, indulgent metropolitan restaurant, it is streets ahead of everywhere else.
There's a deep understanding of how to make food theatrical and fun. We shared jars of cod brandade and spiced aubergine – you have to pick the jars up to scrape out the very last bits of tasty goodness: they have been designed to be shared, talked about and fought over. With our 'wild mushrooms on toast', the mushrooms turned up in a clear plastic bag which was snipped open at the table (they'd been steaming in clarified butter) and the toast (which was smeared with fabulous cep paste) was served alongside in a little rack. For the immaculate raviolo of wild boar, one waiter brought the plate and another added dried hearts and kidneys from a large pepper grinder.
The menu is long without being tediously so, and every dish sounds appealing; most feature a lesser known ingredient or two, and a flavour combination you've not seen before. You could eat lunch here every day for a week and not be bored. And as with Little Social, the desserts are a highlight: as delicate and sophisticated as the best places in the capital.
Service wasn't totally polished but that is because it was only their fifth night of opening. To have got the place to this level in such a short time is staggering. The calibre of the senior people on the floor was very high so I would bet that in a short space of time it will all be spot on.
Prices are high for this category of restaurant (a tenner a starter, a score for a main), but I'm not even sure any more what category this place belongs in. It certainly does not fit the Michelin spectrum that we're all comfortable with. It's too fun and informal to be recognised properly on the stars score.
In fact the informality is such that you wouldn't take the in-laws here, unless they were fans of Ladyhawke and The XX (there's a soundsystem), nor would it be right for a suited-and-booted business meeting (neither the room nor the food are sufficiently conservative). But for virtually every other possible reason to eat out, Social Eating House is unassailable. Except, of course, for the name: it's rubbish.
