Indie Insights: On Spec Work
- Written by Ken Eppstein on Monday, June 04 2012 and posted in Columns
Ken returns to look at the do's and don'ts of hiring artists for spec work.
I don't have much of a reputation for anything yet. Only a few people know anything about Nix Comics and even fewer have stopped to to look long enough at what I'm doing to get a rep. One thing I am known for, however, is paying a decent rate for the stories that appear in Nix Comics Quarterly.
I'm pretty happy about that. In this day and age where creator rights and creator pay are front and center in everybody's mind, I definitely want to turn left where Marvel and DC turn right. I have the capability in my own small way to treat my artists well with prompt and fair payment for their services. "Hey! This guy pays!!!" is an OK place to start for a rep.
So of course, stupid me, I ask the artists for the two new Nix Titles to work on spec. Good reputations are for suckers.
Why would I risk that iota of cred I do possess by paying the artists for Nix Comics for Kids and Nix Western Comics on Spec? (As opposed to working for Speck, which is delicious...)
The Easy answer is because I don't have the cash to pay Brian and Bob what they deserve upfront, but I trust the quality of their work enough to roll the dice and, more importantly, they trust me to treat them fairly.
The shitty answer is that I wanted to get the work done, and I'm just of a loose enough moral character to gamble on my friendships and professional reputation to get it done. I'm not what you'd call a fast talker, but I knew going in that I could get both Brian and Bob on board with a fairly risky proposition. A proposition that flies in the face of my stated "pay artists what they're worth" philosophy.
If you find yourself asking artists to work on spec, here are some tips to reconcile that easy answer with the hard one:
Don't Talk To Strangers:
You got this great script and you need the right artist to make it happen? Well, stay the heck away from the bulletin boards. Within minutes of posting your request, because you'll receive no less than ten irate artists responding with all sorts of "Hey, this is my job! You wouldn't ask another professional like a doctor or lawyer to work on spec, would you?"
Putting aside that I just might ask a doctor or lawyer to work on spec, and further putting aside that a bunch of the artists will post clumsy and ugly photoshopped graphics that serve only to drag down their own credibility, the angry mob will have a valid point. Who are you to ask a stranger to take a risk on your project. Its a big jump to ask some guy on the other end of the internet to trust you like that.
Asking friends on the other hand? Friends are fair game. They can base their decision on what they know about how you've already treated them. (And hey... If the turn you down based on your current relationship, maybe it's time to look at how you're treating your friends...)
Be Transparent:
Not an exact analogy, but not long ago The Dead Kennedys were all embroiled in a legal argument over unpaid royalties and publishing rights from Alternative Tentacles records. Alternative Tentacles is of course run by former DK frontman Jello Biafra. Ugh. The kings of west coast anti-establishment litigating each other over what's basically bad accounting. A situation made particularly ugly by the members of both sides of the argument shamelessly pandering to the fans for support.
Don't let it happen to you.
Before you even ask someone to work on Spec you need to have your business plan for the comic lined out and ready to present. You need to know how many copies you plan on printing and how much that will cost. You need to show your artist that have the money in the bank to get printing and distribution done. You need to have retail and wholesale pricing figured out along with what the artist's cut of each of those amounts will be. Most importantly, you need to be able to show the artist how often and in what manner you plan on paying him.
After you've figured that out, you need to have a system for the artist to know how the project is proceeding. I have each comic set up as a google doc listing all expenses, quantities in stock and sales on a monthly basis for Bob and Brian to access whenever they need to. This is in addition to a monthly statement that I send to them regardless of whether or not any books have sold.
Take Financial Risks:
I give Bob and Brian some money for every copy of their books that I sell. I take the cost of printing that individual book back first, but the artist always gets at least part of the incoming cash. Every time. What's more, I take the marketing expenses out of my cut of any single sale.
That may seem like a an obvious way to conduct business, but you'd be surprised how many Spec Deals are reliant on the publisher making all or most of their investment back before an artist ever sees a red cent. Its a common way of operating for DIYers like me and even for moderately large operations like Image, with their infamous $2,500 hold back.
You know what? I think its a chicken-shit way to do business. Money is power, right? And all of us comic nerds should know by know that with power comes responsibility. (Great or not.) As an indie publisher, which is what you become the second you hire someone on to work on your comic, you have a responsibility to your artists. Fulfill that responsibility first.
Spec work has become a dirty term to artists. It's synonymous with then to doing work for free. There are of course no guarantees that you'll make everybody happy with the money involved in indie comics publishing and if history is any indicator, that just may not be possible. But if you take some basic steps, spec work can be made tolerable.

Devaluation prompts losses in multinationals operating in Venezuela
Since 2009, the Venezuelan Government has prevented foreign companies from repatriating their profits
This fact, combined with a new devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar, will result in problems for multinationals. Colgate-Palmolive said it will record extraordinary losses at USD 120 million in 2013 following confirmation of the devaluation of the bolivar.
"Colgate expects its earnings per share to drop USD 5-7 cents on a quarterly basis in 2013 over the conversion of the financial statements to the new Venezuelan exchange rate," Reuters reported.
For the US giant, the Venezuelan market is "hyperinflationary" since 2010. Recently, the company also reported that labor unrest hit their operations in Venezuela.
Devaluation in Venezuela is to adversely affect other multinationals as well. Two Spanish transnationals, namely Telefónica and BBVA, will be hit hard by the economic measures taken by the Venezuelan Government.
"In our assessment of BBVA, Venezuela represents 5.7% of the total value, so the impact of 30% devaluation would be 1.7%," said Banesto Bolsa, as quoted by Reuters.
For Telefónica, the parent company of Venezuela-based telephone carrier Movistar, there will be repercussions.
"Besides the impact on income (USD 3.09 billion in the first nine months, that is, 4.95 percent of total income), the telephone carrier holds USD 2.6 billion in cash and dividends that are waiting for repatriation," Banesto Bolsa explained, as quoted by Reuters.
Indeed, last week the president of the Telefónica subsidiary in Venezuela, Pedro Cortez, acknowledged the concern of the company about their inability to repatriate dividends generated since 2009.
"The issue of dividends is an important topic for us; we do not deny it. We have fulfilled all legal procedures and regulations that any multinational company needs to meet and we are waiting," Cortez said in a press conference.
Further, US automaker Ford also acknowledged it is facing difficulties in the Venezuelan market. During the presentation of the overall results of 2012 and the outlook for 2013, the company highlighted the domestic market restrictions as a hurdle for their growth targets.
"The competitive environment, currency risks throughout the region, especially in Venezuela, will have an adverse impact on our profitability," read the report submitted by the automaker in late January.
Economic research Ecoanalítica forecasts for 2012 suggested that multinationals had at least USD 9 billion held up in Venezuela.
Devaluation immediately translates into foreign exchange losses that undermine the finances of the companies as they will have to report fewer dollars for operations in previous years.
Living with HIV/AIDS (II)
At first she agreed that I use her real name, that she had no problems with that at all. After all, living with HIV had driven her to help others as a workshop facilitator giving talks and conducting seminars, or as a volunteer for local AIDS Service Organizations like Acción Solidaria (Solidary Action) and Mujeres Unidas por la Salud (Women United for Health, or Musa), a support group network for HIV-positive women. But when we were well into the interview, the realization that she might lose her private health insurance coverage made her change her mind.

"The material covered in LSSU's engineering program provided me a solid foundation for graduate studies. The systematic approach and communication skills needed to tackle engineering projects were taught and then practiced over and over again. In particular I appreciate the many hours spent by the faculty to develop oral presentation skills in each student. As a graduate student now, these skills have proven to be highly beneficial and, to my surprise, obviously not taught to the same extent at many other universities."

Houston subpoenas raise religious liberty concerns
by Kathryn Freeman — October 23, 2014
The City of Houston gained national attention last week as a result of subpoenas sent to five local pastors seeking "all speeches, presentations, or sermons related to HERO, the Petition, Mayor Annise Parker, homosexuality, or gender identity prepared by, delivered by, revised by or approved by you or in your possession."
CLC Director Gus Reyes spoke out against these subpoenas because they appeared to be designed to intimidate pastors and make them think twice about speaking on this critical social issue.

Texas Baptist Hunger Offering needs end-of-year boost
by Ferrell Foster — October 9, 2014
Texas Baptists are generous, but our giving to fight hunger and poverty has lagged this year. Through August, Texas Baptists gave $548,395 through the Texas Baptist Hunger Offering. That's a lot of money, but it is significantly less than we gave last year — $727,877 or 75.3 percent.
As we give millions of dollars to support church programs, it is important to remember that Jesus said care for the poor is a key indicator that a person is seeking to follow Him. When we seek to follow Christ we will have a Spirit-inspired burden to care for those who suffer. If we don't, something's wrong with our spiritual life.

'Kumbaya' should be no joke

I remember singing the song in the 1960s, and we loved it. It was no joke; it called us toward something better than what we knew. I did not initially know that "kumbaya" meant "come by here" and was meant as a prayer to God.
"Come By Here" is a song "deeply rooted in black Christianity's vision of a God who intercedes to deliver both solace and justice," The NY Times piece said.
The oldest known recording of the spiritual occurred in…
Muehlhoff speaks on civil communication in CT
by Ferrell Foster — April 7, 2014
Christian author Tim Muehlhoff says believers need to "yield to God's power from outside" themselves in order to communicate in a civil, Christlike manner.
Christianity Today has published a Q&A with Muehlhoff regarding his book, I Beg to Differ: Navigating Difficult Conversations with Truth and Love (InterVarsity Press, 2014).
Muehlhoff says that "in the heat of the moment" of a conversation a Christian should remember the advice of A.W. Tozer. "You shall receive power, a potent force from another world invading your life by your consent, getting to the roots of your life and transforming you into someone like Christ…
Trafficking — the difference between victims and criminals
by Ferrell Foster — March 13, 2014
The Dallas Morning News carried an excellent opinion piece in its Feb. 23 edition about children and prostitution. The article, by Malika Saada Saar, expresses a broad national perspective. In Texas, we are actually doing better than reflected in Saar's article, but we still have lots of work to do.
Saar points out that about 293,000 U.S. children are "at risk of being exploited and trafficked for sex, according to a 2011 FBI report on trafficking. Most are girls ages 12 to 14. They often are abducted or lured by pimps and traffickers, beaten into submission and sometimes even branded with the pimp's name." She tells of one…
Connecting religious liberty and evangelism
by Ferrell Foster — March 12, 2014
Evangelism and missions can be conducted openly and forthrightly only in an environment that fosters and protects religious liberty. The United States, with its constitutional protections, is a shining example of this reality, while nations with limits on religious expression are examples of the opposite.
Brent Walker, in the January Report from the Capital, develops the link between religious liberty and evangelism. Americans are "able to practice our religion as we see fit and free to go tell others about it," said Walker, executive director of the Baptist Joint Committee on Religious Liberty.
One person's freedom, however…
Write your senator and representative
by Ferrell Foster — February 25, 2014
Bread for the World has announced its 2014 Offering of Letters to United States senators and representatives. Bread does not send these letters; Bread encourages and empowers individual Christians to conduct this annual letter-writing campaign, and this often occurs through churches.
This year's effort asks lawmakers to reform United States food aid in times of crisis and to foster long-term solutions to hunger. Specifically, it asks for legislation to pursue three goals:
1) Improve efficiency in international crisis aid by allowing more food to be bought in or near the country where it is needed and by reducing sales of…
War through the eyes of faith
by Ferrell Foster — November 14, 2013
War powerfully shapes a person's understanding of the world, including one's faith. World War II created in many people a veneration of the United States that caused love of country to sometimes override love of God or to conflate the two into one love. The Vietnam War then brought about a mindset of distrust, and since love of God and country had often been melded the two could be dismissed together by some.
It is not surprising that war shapes understandings of faith, but it is surprising that faith does not more often shape understandings of war.
The other day I ran across an article written by Charles Colson in July 2001…
Opposing abortion in a world of vulnerable people
by Ferrell Foster — July 9, 2013
The Christian Life Commission has received a couple of questions about why it honored Texas Sen. Wendy Davis with its Horizon Award in 2012. As virtually everyone knows, Davis was thrust into the national political spotlight in June with her filibuster in opposition to a bill supported by many Texas Baptists, including me.
The CLC honored Sen. Davis last year for her support of various issues that are important to Texas Baptists, including opposition to predatory lending practices. The senator from Fort Worth has been vital to the legislative effort to limit immoral payday and auto title lending practices, which are…

Thyroid cancer is rare, accounting for about 1% of all cancer cases in England. In 2009, 2,340 people were diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the UK.
Cancer of the thyroid is most common in people aged 35-39 years and in those aged 70 years or over. The condition is rare in children.
Women are two-and-a-half times more likely to develop thyroid cancer than men. This may be due to the hormonal changes associated with the female reproductive system.
Information on living with cancer, including treatment, support and different personal experiences of cancer
Thyroid cancer is a rare type of cancer that affects the thyroid gland, a small gland at the base of the neck.
The most common symptom of thyroid cancer is a painless lump or swelling that develops in your neck.
Other symptoms only tend to occur after the condition has reached an advanced stage and may include:
Read more about the symptoms of thyroid cancer.
The thyroid gland consists of two lobes located on either side of the windpipe. Its main purpose is to release hormones (chemicals that have powerful effects on many different functions of the human body).
The thyroid gland releases three separate hormones. They are:
The T3 and T4 hormones help regulate the body's metabolic rate (the rate at which the various processes in the body work, such as how quickly calories are burnt).
Excess T3 and T4 will make you feel overactive and you may lose weight. If you do not have enough of these hormones you will feel sluggish and you may gain weight.
Calcitonin helps control blood calcium levels. Calcium is a mineral that performs a number of important functions, such as building strong bones.
Calcitonin is not essential for maintaining good health because your body also has other ways of controlling calcium.
There are four main types of thyroid cancer. They are:
Papillary and follicular carcinomas are sometimes known as differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs), and they are often treated in the same way.
In most cases, the cause of thyroid cancer is unknown. However, there are risk factors that can increase your chances of developing the condition.
Risk factors for thyroid cancer include:
Read more about the causes of thyroid cancer.
Your GP will examine your neck and ask whether you have any associated symptoms, such as unexplained hoarseness.
The next step will be to check whether the swelling in your neck is being caused by other thyroid problems. This will involve having a type of blood test, known as a thyroid function test, to measure the hormone levels in your blood.
Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the next stage in diagnosing thyroid cancer. Further testing may be required if the FNAC results are inconclusive, or if more information is needed to make your treatment more effective.
Read more about how thyroid cancer is diagnosed.
Your recommended treatment plan will depend on the type and grade of your cancer, and if a complete cure is realistically achievable.
Most differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) – papillary and follicular carcinomas – and some medullary thyroid carcinomas are thought to have a good prospect of achieving a cure.
DTCs are treated using a combination of surgery to remove the thyroid gland (thyroidectomy), and a type of radiotherapy that destroys any remaining cancer cells and prevents the thyroid cancer returning.
Medullary thyroid carcinomas tend to spread faster than DTCs, so it may be necessary to remove any nearby lymph nodes as well as your thyroid gland. Lymph nodes are small, oval-shaped glands that remove unwanted bacteria and particles from the body. Radiotherapy iodine treatment is not used because it is ineffective in treating this type of thyroid cancer.
Read more about treating thyroid cancer.
Cancerous cells will return in an estimated 5-20% of people with a history of thyroid cancer. Approximately 10-15% of people will experience a return of cancerous cells in other parts of their body, such as their bones.
Sometimes, cancerous cells can return many years after surgery and radioactive iodine treatment has been completed. Due to this risk, you will be asked to attend regular check-ups so any cancerous cells that do return can be quickly treated.
Read more about the complications of thyroid cancer.
From the available evidence, eating a healthy, balanced diet is the best way to avoid getting thyroid cancer and all other types of cancer.
A low-fat, high-fibre diet is recommended, with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables (at least five portions a day) and wholegrains.
The outlook for the differentiated thyroid cancers (DTCs) is very good. Most people (80-90%) will have a normal lifespan.
Papillary and follicular carcinomas tend to be slow-growing and relatively straightforward to treat (see above).
More than nine out of 10 people with papillary carcinoma will live for 10 or more years after diagnosis. More than eight out of 10 people with follicular thyroid cancer will live at least 10 years after being diagnosed.
Medullary thyroid carcinoma is harder to treat. This type of thyroid cancer does not respond to iodine treatment, so removing all of the cancerous cells can be difficult.
Survival rates for medullary thyroid carcinoma depend on the stage of the cancer when it was diagnosed. If diagnosed in its early stages, the outlook is excellent, with 97% of people living at least five years after diagnosis.
However, if medullary thyroid carcinoma is diagnosed after it has spread to other parts of the body, the outlook is poor – only one in four people live at least five years after diagnosis.
Due to its aggressive nature, the outlook for anaplastic thyroid carcinoma is very poor. Fewer than one in 10 people will live at least five years after being diagnosed, with the average survival time being eight months.

Risk factors of Thyroid grows with chances, if its in your family, or less amount of iodine. Growing age can also be one of the cause. Mens are more prone to Thyroid cancer then womens. Exposure to radiation during childhood is a major cause.http://www.justcancer.org/thyroid-cancer.html

Start weight: 144 .............Weight goal: 133 ...........Actual: 141
My weight was up as high as 152 in late April, so I am excited that it seems I have broken through the plateau I have battled since January!
I am not positive of what size I was in at the start of this (8, maybe a tight 6?), but I can now wear mostly size 6 pants/jeans/shorts. I have a few size 4 shorts that I can wear comfortably, and a few size 8s that seem to run small. I could not wear the size 4s a month ago, so I know I am making progress in areas that matter! I have toned up and lost inches.

Back in March, I created a challenge for myself for Memorial Day. I set some goals for water intake, fruit/veggie intake, Cardio and Strength workouts, and weightloss. With one week to go, I am near meeting all of those goals EXCEPT the weightloss. Although I will not meet my weightloss goal, I am proud that I have worked hard to meet or exceed my goals in all other areas. It isn't all about the weightloss. I can tell a difference in how my clothes fit and how I feel.
My 5 goals for the 11 weeks until Memorial Day:
~ 55 cardio workouts (5 per week)
~ 22-33 strength workouts (2-3 per week)
~ 10-12 pounds lost (.5-1.5 pounds per week)
~ 616 8oz glasses of water (8 8oz glasses per day)

Wow, I didn't realize that I joined SparkPeople 1 year ago today! A year ago, I had just finished student teaching and graduated from college. I was 10 pounds heavier than when I started student teaching and knew I needed to make changes. A year ago, I weighed about 175. I had lost and then gained the same 10 pounds in the year prior (remodeling my house took it off, then student teaching put it back on) I was in a 12, sometimes a 14 and my clothes were snug. I was hoping yet dreading the possibility of finding a job, moving my kids to new schools, and really uncertain about things. Once I got them settled into school, I started walking and the weight started coming off. I took a little while to get started with the program, but I know I have come so far in the past year.
from 175 to 145
from size 12-14 to size 4-6 (sometimes 8, if it runs small)
from obese to high end of healthy weight!!!
I have lost 6.5" from my waist, 7.5" from my hips, 4" from my thighs, and can wear clothes that make me look and feel good. I have more energy to do things with my kids. I feel better than I have in a long time and know what I need to do to get where I want to be.
I always ate fairly healthy, but I have learned new healthy eating habits, met many wonderful friends here on Spark, and have both given and received support from the wonderful community here.
Thank you to all of the wonderful people I have met through sparkpeople! I wouldn't be where I am without you!
I didn't track my food for most of my actual weight loss. I tried and struggled with how to keep up with tracking recipes, foods I didn't cook, and restaurant fare. I told myself I couldn't do it, but that it was ok because I was being careful about what I ate. And I believed it. I lost 30 pounds in 4 months, and I believed that I didn't need to really track what I was eating. After all, what I was doing was working without it.
Then, after returning home from my sons being in the hospital, it stopped working. I hit a plateau and couldn't bust through. I had gone back to my exercise routine and thought I was eating the same as before. I couldn't really know, since I hadn't written it down or anything. But my weight kept going up and down. For months. I got as low as 33 pounds lost, within 10 pounds of my ultimate goal, only to fluctuate back up. This continued from January through now, the Middle of May.
And so I am tracking my food intake. I have learned how the nutrition tracker works and how to make things a little easier to keep up with things I eat often. I have a trash can beside the chair where I use my laptop to catch the wrappers and packages after I input a new food into the tracker. I have even learned how to input a recipe and add it to my foods instead of putting in each food individually.
I am amazed. Amazed by how easy it is once you get used to it. Amazed at where my nutrients fall. amazed that, even eating healthy whole foods, how easy it is to be out of my range (sometimes over, sometimes under). What has amazed me the most, though, is how helpful it is to know before dinner what nutrients I am lacking, how many carbs, fat grams, and how much protein I need to aim for at that meal. Dinner is where I try to make these up or reduce my carbs if needed. Then, I know what I need for a snack after dinner (if I have one).
I hope that tracking will help me break through this long-lasting plateau once and for all. As I have commented earlier today, my weight has been a yo-yo and it is time to cut the string! The nutrition tracker may be just the tool I need to do just that!

Have A Bunch Of Documents? Launch An API With Apache Solr
Posted on 08-13-2013
In this computer driven business world its easy to end up with a mess of documents across a company's network. No matter how much you try to organize, name and add metadata to documents, providing a quality search mechanism can be tough. Let alone one that you can use in web portals, web sites and even mobile and tablet applications.
One common way to to solve this problem historically has been using the Lucene Java Search Library, but in the age of web and mobile having an added API for integrating across all the place you will need search, is even better. One of the quickest ways to deploy a document search API is using Apache Solr which is built on top of the Lucene Java Search Library.
Apache Solr delivers a full-text search server that provides a REST-like API, where you put documents in it via XML, JSON or CSV, and then you can query it via API and receive XML, JSON, CSV results, which enables you to deliver a quick, cost effective, open source API driven search for your documents.
There are many types of APIs, from data to programmatic resources--when it comes to document search APIs for knowledge bases, catalogs and other document stores, Apache Solr is a solid option.

Orthodox Official: God, Not State, Should Protect Believers' Feelings
WASHINGTON, October 6 (By Carl Schreck for RIA Novosti)
Related News
Russia does not need laws to protect the feelings of religious believers, but the power of the state should be deployed to defend the country against acts of "spiritual terrorism," a senior official with the Russian Orthodox Church said Friday in an interview.
"We need clear, succinct laws in order to defend both religious and civilian sanctity from malicious abuse, which, in my opinion, is nothing less than spiritual terrorism," said Father Tikhon, the executive secretary of the Russian Orthodox Church's Patriarchal Council for Culture. "Believers' feelings, in my opinion, need no protection other than from the Lord himself."
Russian lawmakers last week submitted draft legislation calling for prison sentences of up to five years for individuals convicted of "insulting citizens' religious beliefs and feelings."
The bill came in the wake of Russia's imprisonment of three women from the art collective Pussy Riot for performing a "punk prayer" criticizing President Vladimir Putin in a Moscow cathedral in February. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, Yekaterina Samutsevich, and Maria Alyokhina were convicted of aggravated hooliganism and sentenced to two years in prison.
The saga has sparked international outrage, with foreign governments criticizing the punishment as excessive and music stars like Madonna and Paul McCartney publicly expressing their support for the three women.
Father Tikhon, who spoke Friday after a presentation of the English-language version of his book "Everyday Saints and Other Stories" at the Library of Congress in Washington, conceded that by taking a hard line against incidents like the Pussy Riot performance, the church may be courting similar provocations.
"But if these jokers are going around desecrating crosses and churches, dancing on altars, and defiling museums left and right, and everyone just shuts their mouths and thinks it will go away, that won't work either," he said.
Father Tikhon, who serves as the abbot of the Sretensky Monastery in central Moscow, suggested Russia might consider implementing punishments similar to those in Israel, where anyone convicted of desecrating a holy place can face up to seven years in prison.
Father Tikhon is widely rumored to be Putin's spiritual adviser, though he declined to comment when an audience member at Friday's presentation asked about his relationship to "someone in the Kremlin."
"There's no point in discussing rumors," he said.
The release of "Everyday Saints and Other Stories" in the United States comes amid celebrations of the five year anniversary of the reconciliation of the Moscow Patriarchate and the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia.
The festivities include a 20 day, nine city tour across the United States by the all-male Sretensky Monestary Choir, which performed two songs at the presentation of Father Tikhon's book Friday.

Thania Muñoz's Final Post on La Semana Negra '08
Exclusive reports from Crime Fiction's international big-bash by our roving reporter.
The closing ceremony of La Semana Negra, was held July 20 at 12pm in the biggest tent. It was rainy, and although Poniente's beach was muddy, a lot of Gijoneses were present to make this as special as previous days.
Paco Taibo, II started the ceremony with a speech commenting on all the struggles that the organization of La Semana Negra has to go through every year to bring this event to the city. He thanked the city of Gijón for its unconditional support and acknowledged that although every year there are complaints about the noise, people, trash, and more, the number of people that attend proves to the city and to the few complainers that La Semana Negra is all about bringing literature and people together, about having a good time with family and friends.
This year around a million people attended, and 51,000 books were sold. This shows the popularity of the event, and how even though our societies are changing, books and literature are still an important part of our lives. After the mayor, Taibo II, and city officials finished their speeches, the traditional "Rufo" prizes (La Semana Negra's mascot--a black, chubby, figurine) was given to the persons who play a big role in the organization, security, planning, etc. in making La Semana Negra a successful ten-day event.
Since this is my last post on La Semana Negra I would like to highlight what I believe were some of the most incredible moments in Gijón. This is not a ranking, only a biased list of what I believe made these ten days so unforgettable.
1. The beautiful Asturian city of Gijón and its great weather. Not too hot, not to cold. Although they were warm days, a swim in the ocean freshened people right up, and the rain only made the city more beautiful because it would only last a day and the next day the city was sunny with clean and shiny streets.
2. The Taibo family. They were always present at the events and offered you their help, smiles and good sense of humor. Paco Ignacio Taibo, II dedicates three months of the year to the planning of La Semana Negra, and anyone can definitely notice the love he puts into it. Twenty-one years don't go unnoticed. His wife Paloma Saiz and daughter Marina also play a big role and deserve recognition: Thank you!
3. The invited writers. The list of writers is very long, but I would like to highlight Cuban writers, Amir Valle, Lorenzo Lunar and Rebeca. Not only excellent writers, but also wonderful people.
4. The Colombians, Mario Mendoza, and Nahum Montt, who called themselves "the grandkids of Gabriel García Márquez", who "unlike his sons, don't owe him anything." Their thriller and detective fiction about Colombia, a clear and non-magical realistic picture of this South American country.
5. The interview and everyday conversations with Rolando Hinojosa, an intelligent man and as Daniel Olivas calls him, "one of the maestros." His advice, not only journalistic but also academic, and most importantly all he had to say about the years he has attended La Semana Negra, made me work hard every day, take notes, record the literary sessions, and hope that one day I will become as smart as him. Truly an inspiration.
6. The every-day 5:00 tertulias at the main tent, where you could learn everything about the writers: from their writing techniques, their geeky side, to what they drink and eat when they write. And also deep conversations on evil vs. good, monsters in literature, etc. There are not a lot of places where this still happens, or if you know where it does, please let me know.
7. The book presentations, where you could hear a writer present their book, answer questions, sign books, and have conversations with readers afterward. A very intimate experience where people have the opportunity to take pictures with the writers and maybe even ask them out. I swear I didn't try this.
8. "La velada poética"-Poetry night. An incredible night with world famous poetas José Emilio Pacheco, Joaquin Sabina and Luis García Montero. There is something about a room full of people eager and anxious to listen to their favorites poets. The hour or so that the poets recited was a surreal experience, definitely one of the main events of La Semana Negra. So if after reading so much about La Semana Negra on La Bloga you decide that it's surely worth making such a far away trip next year, believe me--the poetry night will be worth all your dollars spent. You can check out a really good video of this event on YouTube.
9. The night dedicated to Ángel González. The poetry night, held Friday the 18th will be marked in the history of La Semana Negra as the night Gijón remembered and paid loving tribute and respect to a great and dearly loved poet.
10. The Semana Negra book, food, and jewelry tents--the free spirit and relaxing attitude of the people and the event itself; the smell of churros accompanying you as you go around the tents trying to find that particular book you know you can only find in Spain; watching families spending time together; walking around the fair or sitting on the sand reading a book.
I would like to thank La Bloga, especially Daniel Olivas for all the support and RudyG for posting my reports (cropping pictures, editing, and much more), and to all the people that have been reading and commenting on them (Norma Landa Flores, always the first and sweetest). It has been a great experience being La Bloga's "roving reporter" and attending La Semana Negra itself. Here is my email for questions, concerns, and whatever else comes to mind: thaniamunoz AT yahoo.com.
Saludos desde Los Angeles,
I love La Bloga!

Revolution to usher in pro-people system: Dr Tahir-ul-Qadri addresses public meeting in Haripur
Law, justice, and democracy have been killed in this country. We will put in place a pro-people system through revolution. The people of Haripur offered funeral prayers for the system of oppression symbolically and time is not far away when this system would be sent packing for good. We would not betray blood of martyrs nor would we compromise on it. Those accusing us of deal are paid people who are working on the agenda of their financers just to malign PAT. The rulers want to suck the last drop of masses' blood through rigorous and massive taxes.
