I've been a Molly Idle fan since I saw her first pieces through my Picture Book Artists Association message board. It took the rest of the world a short time to find her too, and award her a Caldecott Honor for FLORA AND THE FLAMINGO - which I interviewed her for HERE. Well, Molly and Flora are back, and this time it's winter with FLORA AND THE PENGUIN!
Q. So I heard a story that the idea for this story was almost serendipitous - it began with a light conversation between you and your editor?
A. I would say it was entirely serendipitous! We were talking about how I was drawing the reflections in the water in Flora and the Flamingo, and Amy, my art director, said they reminded her of a reflected sheen on a sheet of ice. And I said something like, "Oh, if it were ice she'd be dancing with a penguin... " And then there was this prolonged pause... And then we both started talking at once: "The penguin would come up through a hole in the ice!" "The book could be all blue!" "They'd be ice skating!" Then we calmed down a bit and Amy said, "But first, let's finish THIS book."
Q. This is such a different color palette. How did working with an entirely different set of colored pencils affect your general mood?
A. The colors of a book don't affect my mood nearly as much as the characters' expressions do. My mood tends to shift along with theirs. If Flora is smiling, I'm smiling while I draw her... If the penguin is completely grumpy, so am I. Brow furrowed, mouth turned down... Yesterday afternoon I was drawing yawning bunnies- I could barely keep my eyes open!
Q. Was it difficult to work with such a cool color palette after the warm one in FLORA AND THE FLAMINGO?
A. Only at first. At first I would look at a finished piece and think, ridiculously, "It's not pink." I mean, of course it wasn't pink! But it took a while for me to warm up to the new palette [e: Ha! Warm up - no pun intended!] and feel like the pieces looked right in their cool blue hues.
Q. Flora seems to get in a bit of a bad mood in this book. Where did that come from?
A. Well, don't we all from time to time? And I thought if was important for Flora to be a really real little person. I mean, it would have been easy peasy to write a story where she's this idyllic child who's always cheery and never cross... But have you ever met anyone who is actually like that? I haven't. Even the best people loose it from time to time. We make poor choices. Do unkind things... We're human. But then, if given the chance, a good person will do their best to make right their wrongs. I think that's the best part of our humanity.
Q. Obviously she gets over it and makes a lovely new friend. Was it difficult to work out this story?
A. Yep. Though we had all these wonderful ideas that set the making of the book in motion, working out the source of Flora and the Penguin's conflict and resolution took me a while...
Q. It's such a perfect winter book. How are you going to celebrate it?
A. With the perfect winter treat- hot chocolate and marshmallows! Although, if you're a penguin, you'll probably prefer celebrating it with mackerel..
Q. I hope FLORA AND THE PENGUIN does as well or better than FLORA AND THE FLAMINGO - not a bad goal considering the Caldecott honor. What was it like to get the call?
A. Oh wow... That was an awesome thing. Actually made me a bit weak in the knees... I remember holding onto the kitchen counter after I hung up the phone. Positively faint with happiness!

Hello, dear friends! Today I am coming at you with this most delightful of posts. I recently took a trip to Baldwin's Book Barn in West Chester, PA. I actually discovered its existence when our own Wendy tweeted out this directory for independent bookstores and I discovered that I had this whimsical wonder practically in my own backyard! I knew I just had to take the trip. It was also featured in Buzzfeed's list of the Great American Bookstores. I hope you can find similarly deserving treasures in your neighborhood! The building itself was built in 1822 and was an actual farmhouse until it founds its new life as a bookstore in 1946. Book lovers have been flocking to it ever since. This is the main entrance. It has a coal stove because of course it does. It's a 19th century farm building. I was obviously and utterly... Read more »

Dare I say I have a new favorite-favorite Nesbit?! I loved, loved, LOVED The Magic City. I enjoyed The Enchanted Castle. I enjoyed it very much. But it doesn't come close to describing how I feel about The Magic City. I LOVE it so much!
Philip, the hero, has been raised by his much older sister, Helen. When she marries a widower with a daughter, Lucy, around his own age, he is upset. He just knows that he will HATE Lucy. (It almost seems like he'd feel too guilty to hate his uncle--Helen's husband. But hating Lucy, well, it almost feels necessary.) Philip goes to his new home, and, his attitude could use some improvement. But if there is one thing that he doesn't hate about his new home is the nursery full of toys. At first, he's not allowed to touch anything--not even one toy! The nurse doesn't have permission from Lucy to allow Philip to play with her things. But the nurse in a brief moment of kindness changes her mind. Philip is allowed to play, to imagine. And he does. He builds, I believe, two wonderful cities. He builds them from toys--not just blocks, but all sorts of toys. He builds them from books. He builds with things he finds around the house. These cities are a work of an artist--a creator. But days later--I believe it is days--the nurse returns in a very bad mood. (She'd been called away for personal family business.) She is very angry. She yells. She threatens. She assures him that the cities will be torn down the very next day. By this point, his attitude has calmed down quite a bit. Most of the staff--the servants--like him if not love him now. In the middle of the night, he goes to see what his cities look like in the moonlight...and that decision changes everything. It is the beginning of the proper adventures!
I loved this one. I loved spending time with Philip and Lucy. I love how their relationship changes throughout the book. I loved meeting all the characters, or almost all the characters! I loved seeing the residents of the city. Particularly Mr. Noah and his son. The book is super-fun and just a joy to read. I loved the premise of this one too.
Philip drew a deep breath of satisfaction, went straight up to the nursery, took out all the toys, and examined every single one of them. It took him all the afternoon. The next day he looked at all the things again and longed to make something with them. He was accustomed to the joy that comes of making things. He and Helen had built many a city for the dream island out of his own two boxes of bricks and certain other things in the house — her Japanese cabinet, the dominoes and chessmen, cardboard boxes, books, the lids of kettles and teapots. But they had never had enough bricks. Lucy had enough bricks for anything. He began to build a city on the nursery table. But to build with bricks alone is poor work when you have been used to building with all sorts of other things. 'It looks like a factory,' said Philip discontentedly. He swept the building down and replaced the bricks in their different boxes. 'There must be something downstairs that would come in useful,' he told himself, 'and she did say, "Take what you like."' By armfuls, two and three at a time, he carried down the boxes of bricks and the boxes of blocks, the draughts, the chessmen, and the box of dominoes. He took them into the long drawing-room where the crystal chandeliers were, and the chairs covered in brown holland — and the many long, light windows, and the cabinets and tables covered with the most interesting things. He cleared a big writing-table of such useless and unimportant objects as blotting-pad, silver inkstand, and red-backed books, and there was a clear space for his city.
And the city grew, till it covered the table. Philip, unwearied, set about to make another city on another table. This had for chief feature a great water-tower, with a fountain round its base; and now he stopped at nothing. He unhooked the crystal drops from the great chandeliers to make his fountains. This city was grander than the first. It had a grand tower made of a waste-paper basket and an astrologer's tower that was a photograph-enlarging machine. The cities were really very beautiful. I wish I could describe them thoroughly to you. But it would take pages and pages. Besides all the things I have told of alone there were towers and turrets and grand staircases, pagodas and pavilions, canals made bright and water-like by strips of silver paper, and a lake with a boat on it. Philip put into his buildings all the things out of the doll's house that seemed suitable. The wooden things-to-eat and dishes. The leaden tea-cups and goblets. He peopled the place with dominoes and pawns. The handsome chessmen were used for minarets. He made forts and garrisoned them with lead soldiers. He worked hard and he worked cleverly, and as the cities grew in beauty and interestingness he loved them more and more. He was happy now. There was no time to be unhappy in.

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. First, my Kiddo is happy and healthy and living in California with her new husband and I will be seeing them at Christmas when they come to visit.
I'm thankful for my friends and family, even if I don't get to see them very often. And I am thankful for my online friends, even though I haven't met many of them. One of the things I love about blogging is getting to know so many people all over the world, an opportunity that can be found in few other ways. Thank you to all my followers and readers. Your presence on my blog is much appreciated.

About the Book: What's a kid to do when it's another Thanksgiving at Grandma's full of relatives? Try to escape to the back yard and the swing set! Can they do it?
GreenBeanTeenQueen Says: Escaping Thanksgiving family drama can be hard for anyone, especially if you're a kid. There are guard dogs, overly affectionate aunts, zombies, and the great hall of butts! Giving a kids-eye view of family gatherings, Gavin and his cousin Rhonda try to make a break for it through a family filled obstacle course.
These two kids who aren't babies anymore but are too old for the teenager table weave their way through family to find their place at Thanksgiving. It's a humorous take on surviving family gettogethers when you're that pesky in between age and can't seem to fit anywhere. Some of the humor I think will be understood more by adults than the kids but it's a silly book to enjoy together and a funny take on your usual Thanksgiving read.

The past few days I've tried to go beyond my original challenge and show more finished illustrations instead of just studies. With all the visual research I've done the last month I'm starting to get quite a few fun ideas. I thought it would be more interesting to see the results of my research rather than the research itself. I was hoping to show another finished piece today but I underestimated how hard it is to come up with something finished every day. Anyway I hope you find something of value in seeing my studies.

NORTH CAROLINA (BASN)—Every year, we engage in the European cult ritual known as Thanksgiving.
Not surprisingly, the NFL promotes this holiday with its Thanksgiving Classic, which is a series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday since the league's inception in 1920.
This year's game, however, had a little more meaning.
Why? Because, while we were eating Turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce, the Dallas Cowboys played the Washington Redskins, which highlighted rookie sensation Robert Griffin III aganist Tony Romo..
Yes, the classic battle between Cowboys versus Indians, which is the premise of American's violent culture, was showcased during this year's so-called Thanksgiving Classic.
Plus, let's not forget that psychologically the Dallas Cowboys are considered America's team.
Believe me, this is not a coincidence.
And as much as I love a good conspiracy theory, this, however, is the reality of this sad situation. (Read my article I am dreaming of an all-white Christmas and an all-white team on BASN)
Yes, this so-called Thanksgiving classic, should have been called a game of genocide.
Good Indian; Dead Indian
Remember, US Army General Phillip Sheridan said, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian."
It was also the military strategy of the United States government, in which Thomas Jefferson was also an advocate of and openly admitted with his own words.
"They [Europeans] are nations of eternal war. All their energies are expended in the destruction of labor, property and lives of their people."
Some people, however, might not see it that way.
But the truth, is the truth.
According to Dr.Tinga Apidta's book The Hidden History of Massachusetts: A Guide for Black Folks,
Governor Joseph Dudley declared in 1704 a "General Thanksgiving"-not in celebration of the brotherhood of man-but for [God's] infinite Goodness to extend His Favors…In defeating and disappointing… the Expeditions of the Enemy [Indians] against us, And the good Success given us against them, by delivering so many of them into our hands…
Old-fashioned fable
Comedian Jon Stewart of the Daily Show, tried to make lite of the Day of Mourning for the Ingenious people by joking, "I celebrate Thanksgiving an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house, we had an enormous feast, and then I killed them and took their land."
Unfortunately, despite Stewart's attempt to be funny, this was the real history of Thanksgiving, even though we continue believing in the fairy tale rendition of Pilgrims and Indians holding hands and praying together.
Why? Because, there is nothing hilarious about the Holocaust involving the death of 19 million First Nation people, through the methods of constant warfare, chemical warfare through smallpox filled blankets, disease, sterilization, the 1830 Indian Removal, assimilation through education, the slaughter of the Buffalo, colonization, starvation, and reservation.
The myth and the massacre
Despite all of this, every year through out America, elementary school teachers continue to dress up little children in these stupid black Pilgrims costumes with those big buckled shoes and place feathers on their innocent little heads as if it was a made for Disney movie version of Pocahontas and John Smith, while sitting down for a big dinner, singing "One Little, Two Little Indians" with a table filled with pumpkin pies and cranberry.
Glen Ford, the Executive editor of Black Agenda Report, wrote an excellent article entitled The end of Thanksgiving:A Cause for Universal Rejoicing which brilliantly dissembled this myth, which has become apart of the so-called American dream and lexicon.
The fable (of Thanksgiving) attempts to glorify the indefensible, to enshrine an era and mission that represent the nation's lowest moral denominators. Thanksgiving as framed in the mythology is, consequently, a drag on that which is potentially civilizing in the national character, a crippling, atavistic deformity. Defenders of the holiday will claim that the politically-corrected children's version promotes brotherhood, but that is an impossibility – a bald excuse to prolong the worship of colonial "forefathers" and to erase the crimes they committed. Those bastards burned the Pequot women and children, and ushered in the multinational business of slavery. These are facts. The myth is an insidious diversion – and worse.
Ford was correct with assessment of this holiday which we shamefully celebrate as a day of thanks.
Why? Because there were no turkey, cranberry sauce or pumpkin pie served on that day but there were about 700 Pequot Indians slaughtered and killed by a savage group of
William Bradford, who was the former Governor of Plymouth at that time, chronicled the event by giving his first hand account of the great massacre of 1637 that marked the beginning of what we know as Thanksgiving today:
Those that escaped the fire were slain with the sword; some hewed to pieces, others run through with their rapiers, so that they were quickly dispatched and very few escaped. It was conceived they thus destroyed about 400 at this time. It was a fearful sight to see them thus frying in the fire…horrible was the stink and scent thereof, but the victory seemed a sweet sacrifice, and they gave the prayers thereof to God, who had wrought so wonderfully for them, thus to enclose their enemies in their hands, and give them so speedy a victory over so proud and insulting an enemy."
Shockingly, this day of mass murderer was proclaimed by Governor John Winthrop of Massachusetts as a day of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving Day, as a national celebration, in fact, was originally called for by George Washington, who was a slave owner and made a regular holiday later by Abraham Lincoln, who some considered a white suprmacist, right before he signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865, which did not free the slaves, when he assigned the fourth Thursday in November as the day of celebration. (Read my previous article on BASN entitled: The Political Football: Secession, Lincoln, and Obama)
The sacred made shameful
We have, in fact, rejected the natural and embraced the unnatural.
We have shamefully accepted the killing of beautiful people, the theft of beautiful lands, the contamination of beautiful oceans and the pollution of sacred skies in order to foolishly celebrate the festivities of a football game.
Matter of fact, we have reduced a sacred people into a few racists mascots and lousy logos like the
Cleveland Indians'Chief Wahoo and the Washington Redskins.
We sadly mock them by participation in Towahawk chops and chants during Atlanta Braves baseball games and Florida Seminoles football games, while some insensitive sports reporters write headlines like the Seminoles massacred the Gators.
This is, however shear insanity being paraded in front of the world to see.
Let's not forget that according to author John Toland's The Autobiography of Adolph Hitler, Hitler's concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history.
The North American Indian holocaust was also studied by South Africa for their apartheid program.
And if 1492 is our historical reference point, …"when Columbus sailed the ocean blue" in the NiZa, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, which would eventually be utilized as slave ships, we can't forget the genocide of the Ingenious people, with eventually led to the African slave trade.
Therefore, in dispelling the myth of Thanksgiving, we also must shatter the myth of Christopher Columbus as well.
First of all, we must realize that Christopher Columbus never set foot in what is North America, or the United States. Matter of fact, Norwegian settlers preceded his arrival in America by some five hundred years. Second, instead of referring to him as an explorer, we should call him an exploiter, a gold digger, a mass murderous missionary, and a slave trader.
Honestly, in his quest to find India in the Caribbean, he mistaken called the inhabiants of Hispanola, now modern day Haiti, Indians, while thinking Cuba was Japan.
Christopher Columbus
Historian Dr.John Henrik Clark remained us that when Christopher Colon set foot on Samana Cay, in the Bahamian Islands, he, in fact, set in motion western racism, colonization, mis-education, distorted history, and the bogus concept of the chosen people through a Manifest Destiny philosophy, which promoted the divine white right to conquer, kill, and Christianized another people .
"In his mind, it was enslavement from the very beginning." Clarke said." His intention were not good.
Evidence of Columbus's evil intentions were written in a letter to Spain's Queen Isabella, when he wrote:
We can send from here, in the name of the Holy Trinity, all the slaves and Brazil wood which could be sold."
Plus, he added these words, to remove all doubt about his intentions.
"We shall take you and your wives, and your children, and shall make slaves of them, and we shall take away your goods, and shall do you all the mischief and damage that we can, and we protest that the deaths and losses which shall accrue from this are your fault ."
With that in mind, consider the fact that with Columbus' arrival to the New World, who himself, was a professional slave trader,he along with his Spanish conquistadors killed up 5 million Tainos, whom were mis-named "Indians" in the Caribbean, within three years, according to primary historian of the Colombian era and Catholic priest Father Bartolome'de las Casas, who was an eye-witness to the destruction. De las Casas, in fact, wrote about it in his multi-volume "History of the Indies," which was published in 1875.
(The Spaniards) "thought nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades. They forced their way into native settlements, slaughtering everyone they found there, including small children, old men, pregnant women, and even women who had just given birth. They hacked them to pieces, slicing open their bellies with their swords as though they were sheep herded into a pen. They even laid wagers on whether they could manage to slice a man in two at a stroke, or cut an individual's head from his body, or disembowel him with a single blow of their axes. They grabbed suckling infants by the feet and, ripping them from their mothers' breasts, dashed them headlong against the rocks. Others, laughing and joking all the while, threw them over their shoulders into a river, shouting: 'Wriggle, you little perisher.' They slaughtered anyone on their path …"
Nothing worth celebrating
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, however, doesn't think so.
There's nothing to celebrate," said the Venezuelan president, who in 2002 signed a decree to change the name of its Oct.12 Columbus Day to the Day of Indigenous Resistance.
"They executed an aboriginal every 10 minutes – the biggest genocide registered in history"
Columbus Day, which was made a federal holiday in 1971, in fact, is one of only two holidays to honor a person by name, the other of course is Martin Luther King Jr.
Not surprisingly, in a speech in 1989, President George Bush proclaimed:
"Christopher Columbus not only opened the door to a New World, but also set an example for us all by showing what monumental feats can be accomplished through perseverance and faith."
These words alone from the former President of the United States should put to rest all of this "New World Order" talk, because it is actually an Old World Order, which the West have been practicing since they came in contact with the First Nation People of the earth.
Records and recorded history
So, regardless, of how much we celebrate the laser precision passes thrown by Washington's QB RGIII during their 38-31 victory against America's team, the Dallas Cowboys, or how tender the turkey was, or how many times Tim Tebow is seen bending on one knee, we must keep the true meaning of this day always in our mines. (Read my previous article Testing the Testimony of Tebowism on BASN)
Why? Because, originally, football wasn't America's favorite sport.
It was the hunting and killing of "Indians"
And as a famous football coach once said, "You are, what your record says you are."

The Thanksgiving season is the perfect time to share an appreciation for food and cooking with kids. It is a time to be grateful for the food we have that nourishes us, and to share with others who don't have as much. If you're looking for inspiration, I have a book recommendation for you! With his signature folk-art illustrations, Tomie DePaola's picture book Pascual and the Kitchen Angels recounts the legend of San Pascual, known to many Catholics (especially in Spain and Latin America) as the patron saints of cooks and the kitchen.
Pascual was born in 16th century Spain and was very devout from a young age. After working as a shepherd for most of his young life, he left home to become a Franciscan friar so he could help feed the poor. Because he had no formal education, the friars accepted him as a lay brother and he was assigned the task of cooking for the brothers. The trouble was, Pascual knew nothing about cooking! According to the legend that DePaola recounts, Pascual prayed to God for help, and angels came down from heaven and cooked a delicious meal fit for the friars. So, Pascual was able to fulfill his kitchen duties while never ceasing to pray.
San Pascual is known for living a life of prayer, humility, and service to others. The legend of his miraculous cooking is inspiring – it reminds us that cooking and eating can transcend the ordinary and become something that truly nourishes our souls and allows us to give to others.

Wishing all of our U.S. readers a very happy Thanksgiving! Today, we are sharing which books we're the most thankful for this year. Tell us in the comments which book you would pick!

What book am I thankful for today? Honestly? COMPULSION. I am thankful that so many people invested their time, talent, energy, and resources into this book. From my amazing critique partners, to my beta readers, fabulous editors and my agent, to every person at Simon Pulse who have all contributed to bring this book into the world. I'm also thankful for the authors who read early copies and said nice things about it, and the authors who have been generous in sharing their advice and expertise, here at Adventures, elsewhere on the web, and in person. But most of all, I am thankful for the readers, librarians, and booksellers who have so kindly embraced this book. I appreciate and love each and every one of you!
Becca Fowler
The book I'm most thankful for would have to be Harry Potter (I'm going to cheat a little, and use the whole series!), because I'm horrible at remembering what books shaped me into the person I am today without the Harry Potter novels overshadowing them. I adored those books growing up, and attended every single midnight release for them. To say I wasn't obsessed with Harry, Ron, and Hermione's adventures would be a vast understatement. My parents didn't understand it at the time (I'm still trying to convince my mom to read them), but those books are what opened me to reading. Without them, I'm not sure who I would be today. My best guess is probably someone who wouldn't have books stacked in every available place in my room and office. I think I speak for a lot of people when I talk about Harry Potter. For my generation, it was a huge gateway to reading and discovering new worlds in other books after our copies of Harry Potter started falling apart from too many rereads.
Lisa Gail Green
This month I'm most thankful for The Selection. Not because I read it, but because my daughter, AKA the reluctant reader, read it and demanded the rest of the series immediately under threat of believing I no longer encourage her to read. Probably the happiest moment this month for me was watching her remove the books from her bag in the car and start texting pics to her friends, saying, "Look what I got!" Wish I could've taken a picture of her at that moment. So thanks, Kiera Cass! You rock.
Alyssa Hamilton
I have two that my mind immediately jumps to. The first is OUTLANDER by Diana Gabaldon. It's not YA but it opened my reading up to adult historical fiction again, and I had been off it for a few years. OUTLANDER really reminded me of why I love it and i've devoured the entire series in a matter of months! The relationships, the decadent writing, the history and absolutely everything captivated me from the first word.
The second is Laurie Halse Anderson's THE IMPOSSIBLE KNIFE OF MEMORY. This book was the first book I had ever read by LHA and it was absolutely brilliant. The story was heart breaking but so incredibly realistic. The characters reached me in a way not a lot often can. The romance wasn't the main focus but it became a pillar of strength for Hayley. The relationship between Hayley and her father Andy was heart wrenching, beautiful, frustrating, destructive and yet LHA was able to weave an underlying thread of hope that completely struck a match in my heart. My experience of reading this book has stuck with me for almost a year and I absolutely know it's one that I will be rereading soon and frequently.

The book I am most thankful for is KILLING RUBY ROSE because not only is it a fun and thrilling read, it also brought the fabulous Jessie Humphries into my life. The full story involves much rambling about the stars aligning the right way several times, but the short version is this: The incredibly talented Megan Miranda recommended I read KILLING RUBY ROSE because it had the mixture of humor and darkness I was striving for in my WIP. So I read it, loved it, and when I saw that Jessie Humphries was a #PitchWars mentor, I had to submit to her. To my happy-dancing delight, she picked me to be part of her team, and her feedback on my WIP has been very helpful in finding the right balance between laughter and horror. As I finish my revisions and prepare to query, I'm thankful for Megan and Jessie and the book that brought us all together.

I'm going to say that the book I'm thankful for this year is I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson. The writing style is beautiful, the characters are easy to relate to and the plot itself is just weaved in perfectly within the two different point of views.

"My thanks to my parents is vast," says Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboist with the Imani Winds woodwind quintet. "Without their help, I would never have become a musician."
Many professional musicians I've interviewed have responded as Ms. Spellman-Diaz did, saying that their parents helped in so many ways: from locating good music teachers, schools, and summer programs, to getting them to lessons, rehearsals and performances on time, while also figuring out how to pay for it all. In addition, there are those reminders (often not well received) that parents tend to give about not forgetting to practice. Ms. Spellman-Diaz received her share of reminders, noting that "at some points, I didn't feel like practicing. Dad's going to be thrilled that I've admitted that it helped that he nagged me to practice. For decades he has been bugging me to admit that."
But beyond these basics, when I ask musicians to recall something especially mhelpful that they're thankful to their parents for in terms of furthering their musical development, the responses tend to focus on how a parent helped them find their own musical way.
Toyin-Spellman Diaz: The non-musical goal her parents had while looking for a good private flute teacher for their daughter during elementary school had a profound effect on Ms. Spellman-Diaz's musical future. "They wanted an African-American teacher so I could see a classical musician who looked like me, to show me that there were African-American classical musicians out there," she says. Her second flute teacher was also black, as was one of the three oboe teachers she had during high school, after she switched instruments. "It absolutely made an impact and is partly why I play in the Imani Winds." This woodwind quintet of African American musicians was started in 1997 with much the same goal her parents had: to show the changing face of classical music. However, one of her flute teachers was also into jazz. "I think my parents were trying to steer me toward jazz. They would have been really excited if I became a jazz flutist," she says. But classical music won out, and that was fine, too. "With my parents, it was knowing when to let go and let me find my own voice, my own passion for it."
Jonathan Biss: This pianist credits his parents with creating an "atmosphere that I didn't feel I was doing it to please them or because it was good for me. I was doing it because I loved music." When he was young, he too sometimes needed practice reminders. "But if they said, 'Go practice,' which wasn't often, it was always accompanied by 'if you want to do this.' Their point was that you don't have to do anything you don't want to, but if you choose to do it, you have to do it well."
Paula Robison: After she started flute at age eleven, her father realized that she had a special flair for it and "saw a possible life for me as a musician," says Ms. Robison. He knew regular practice was essential, but he didn't want to become an overbearing, nagging parent. So when she was twelve, they shook hands on an agreement: she promised to practice at a certain time every day and if she didn't, it would be all right with her for him to remind her. That went well until one day during her early teens when she was "lounging around on the couch" during the hour she was supposed to practice. He reminded her of their agreement. She says she angrily "stomped up the stairs" to practice and "whirled around and shouted, 'Someday I'm going to thank you for this!'" And she has. "I thank my father every time I pick up the flute."
Liang Wang: When asked what he was most grateful to his parents for, this New York Philharmonic principal oboist says, "They allowed me to be what I wanted to be. A lot of parents want their kid to fit into what they think the kid should do. Oboe was an unusual choice. There aren't many Chinese oboe players." But he fell in love with the sound of the oboe. They supported him in his choice. He notes that his mother "wanted me to pursue my dream."
Mark Inouye: When asked about the best musical advice he received as a young musician, Mark Inouye recalls something his father said to him at about age eleven, after a particularly disappointing Little League baseball game "in which I had played poorly," says this principal trumpet with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. The pep talk his father gave him carried over to his beginning efforts on trumpet, too. He says his father told him, "You may not be the one with the most talent, but if you are the one who works the hardest, you will succeed."
Sarah Chang: "Mom understood I had enough music teachers in my life. The best thing she did was leave the music part to everyone else and be a mom," says violinist Sarah Chang, who started performing professionally at age eight. "Bugging me about taking my vitamins, eating my vegetables, fussing about the dresses I wore in concerts. . . She was always encouraging, my number-one supporter."

I'm thankful for a lot of things this year. The special parts of my life that I give thanks daily for: family, friends, my home, the resources we've been blessed with, etc. But, I'm also thankful for my love of reading. In the first half of this year, I lost it a bit. I couldn't pick up a book and want to finish it... couldn't seem to keep my attention on anything. For the first time in my life, I didn't want to sit down and read at the end of a long day. I didn't want to browse books online or talk about books with my other book nerd friends. No podcasts, audiobooks, or long visits to the library to browse. I sort of lost myself for awhile.
Around September, I got it back and I realized that loving books and reading is a gift. I am truly thankful that I have this little world -- really, a big world -- of bookish friends and book clubs and awesome podcasts to listen to. I'm so thankful for audiobooks and people to talk about them with. I'm just thankful for books. Period.
I'm spending my weekend participating in the Thankfully Reading Weekend, hosted by Jenn at Jenn's Bookshelves. Relaxed weekend, reading when I can, and focusing on the important things rather than Black Friday shopping madness. Amen for that.
I'm starting off with The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber and if I get through that with a 3-year-old running around, it will be a Thanksgiving miracle!

Maybe I shouldn't have read what I wrote in last year's reflection on attending NCTE. Wow. Did I really write that? Nice work, last year's me. All still true. So now what am I supposed to write?
This year I'll write about magic. I'll write about this:
I've presented at NCTE before, but I don't remember any of my sessions ever feeling as magical as this one with (L to R) Vicki Vinton, Julieanne Harmatz, Fran McVeigh, and Steve Peterson.
Vicki invented our tribe.
"Our job is to find the disconnected and connect them, to find people eager to pursue a goal and give them the structure to go achieve that goal. But just about always, we start with an already existing worldview, a point of view, a hunger that's waiting to be satisfied." -- Seth Godin
We met in the comments on Vicki's blog. We knew each other through our written words both there, and on our own blogs. We knew each other through profile pictures and tweets. When we finally met in person, it was so fun to add facial expressions and voices and hands to shake and hugs and the sounds of laughter to everything we already knew about each other.
All the parts of our session fit like the verses of a song. The chorus of our song was, "What if?"
I think we'll be singing this song we wrote for a long time to come. We'll sing the chorus in our classrooms, and we'll sing out the new verses to each other on our blogs until we find a way and a place for an in-the-flesh reunion!
Here is Steve's reflection on NCTE and our session.
Fran has three reflections -- here, here, and here.
Julieanne wrote a thank you note to NCTE.
There was way, way more to my time at NCTE than just this one session with these four other people. There were other first-time meetings with online friends and lots of happy reunions with far-flung friends. There were many sessions that provided new learning and deep thinking. There were the obligations of the poetry committee and the CLA board.
But this one bit was magic.
Truly magic.

Leonard Cohen's decision to take up cigarettes again at 80 reveals a well kept secret about older age: you can finally live it up and stop worrying about the consequences shortening your life by much. Risk taking is not such a risk anymore, given the odds. Of course some take that more literally than others. I don't plan to do a parachute jump when I turn 90, as President Bush #1 did. However, a new breath of freedom (and less worry) is an unexpected and pleasant benefit of older age that isn't well known.
Research findings confirm this is true. In recent studies of many adults from many countries, people were asked to rate their level of well being on a scale of 1-10. Researchers found a fascinating relationship between age and well-being. 20 year olds start out pretty high, after which well-being consistently goes down with age, bottoming out around the early 50's. What happens next came as a surprise to many: after this trough, well-being actually goes up with age, with 85-year-olds reporting slightly higher well-being than the 20-year-olds. These are known as the U-bend studies, because well-being through adult life takes the shape of a "U."
One question we can ask is: how can elders feel better when they are much closer to death than younger people? My personal and clinical experiences suggest that we accept the reality of death, which helps us enjoy each day and its positives more, because we appreciate their preciousness. Pleasure in listening to music, seeing a beautiful sunrise or hearing early morning bird calls elicits more enjoyment than when we were younger.
We live in the "now". One woman expressed it well in our support group for aging and illness: "My papers are in order, my will and all that. Only, I just got four chairs recovered in my apartment. I want to stick around at least to see how they look with the new covers." Concerns about career are gone; elderly parents are gone and adult children are on their own (hopefully). Elders begin to see life from a broader perspective than their own personal being—we are concerned about the future of the planet and the fate of our children's children's children whom we may never see.
At 86, I heartily endorse Cohen's decision to forego all the illness prevention and screening that made sense in his 50s but not in his 80s when it is not likely to prolong life. For me, that means enjoying the pleasures of food and drink as I choose. My modern vegetarian-ish children chide me for the red meat on the table and insist I should be serving kale smoothies and brown rice for dinner and drinking bottled water with lemon instead of alcohol. My husband of 89 and I enjoy beef and wine for dinner, and we have no plans to change that. As to more wholesome drinks, as a Texan, I have drunk Dr. Peppers since the age of 10. I could easily be a poster girl for its benefits, but I am warned about the dangers I run every day of their poisoning my brain by the artificial "everything" in them.
As to fall prevention, which is a big concern of our children, I understand their wishes to prevent a broken hip, but I love most of my rugs and they are part of the pleasure in my home. I will compromise just so far in taking them up. I will be prudent but not coerced into a life style my children feel is more appropriate for us. My colleague, Dr. Mindy Greenstein, is a psychologist who works with me in a geriatric research group, and with whom I compare notes on aging from our middle and old old age perspectives. I complain that my children act too "parental" at times and I remind her that at 91, if her father eats another latke beyond what his wife deems appropriate, is that really a make or break issue in his survival? Children want to help us oldsters to outsmart the Grim Reaper, and that is very tender. But eventually he wins. So why sweat the odds? We are lucky—and happy—to be here in our upper 80s.
The bottom line is that Cohen has it right about the freedom to do things we want over 80, but wrong about paying too much attention to calculating the prevention risk ratio. The best story to put this into perspective is the old man who went to his doctor and asked. "Doc, if I give up alcohol, cigarettes and women will I live longer?" The doctor replied, "No, but it will seem longer."

Former Ruff Ryders member Eve is the latest hip-hop artist to put in her two cents on Maybach Music Group head Rick Ross losing a multi-million dollar endorsement deal with Reebok.
In E-v-e's perspective, the huge decision to part ways with the "Boss" probably was bigger and involved more factors than most people think.
She also weighed in on the controversy surrounding Rick Ross' pro-rape lyrics, which ended with the termination of his Reebok deal. "I think they did what was in their right as a corporation," explained Eve. "People still have to remember it is a business and there are shareholders that are bigger than just Reebok that are probably looking at this situation and being like, 'You know what, this is not something that we want to represent.'" (Rap-Up)
She also admitted to taking a bit of offense toward Ricky Rozay's "U.O.E.N.O" date rape lyrics.
While she realizes it's only words, she did take offense. "As a woman, I'm like, 'Whoa.' It just makes you think in a different way. I feel like it's wordplay, but at the same time, it does make you think twice, like what do you mean? Are you that dude? It's not OK." (Rap-Up)
According to reports, the Reebok break-up will force Ross to lose at least $3 million.
Rick Ross is crestfallen over losing his Reebok deal because of that date rape song … but he's also bitter because he believes the shoe company owed him a second chance. Sources close to the rapper tell TMZ … Ross will lose between $3.5 million and $5 million … he was getting a check each time he wore the shoes. TMZ broke the story … Reebok dumped Ross for releasing the song U.O.E.N.O., which includes the lyric: "Put Molly [Ecstasy] all in the champagne. She ain't even know it. I took her home and I enjoy that. She ain't even know it." Ross issued a tepid apology … suggesting the lyrics were actually misinterpreted. He also pulled the song — which was only on a mixtape. (TMZ)
In light of the mega retailer pulling its plug on Rick, MMG member Meek Mill disassociated himself from Reebok last week.
"Reeboks right next 2 FILA when it come 2 sneaks that sh*t corny… I was only was feeling swizz & tyga projects… #boom," Meek tweeted April 12th. (Meek Mill's Twitter)

Making the most of paper notes
More posts about: organization Tags: tips // 7 Comments »
I've been drawing a lot more on paper lately, so I should update my Sketching Tools page. It is nice as a way to quickly get my thoughts down without the tiring brightness of the computer screen or the distractions of the Internet. Here's what I've been learning about the differences between drawing on paper and drawing on my computer:
There's always room to make things better, of course. How can we think on paper more effectively? The mindmap that I've been working on gives me a useful overview, letting me see when I've accumulated several sketches in a particular area so that I can put them into a blog post. I've also figured out how to include the sketches in my review process, thanks to this Flickr metadata downloader (Python). Speech recognition still hasn't made its way into my toolkit, though…
Now that I've got a decent archive of paper notes, the next challenge is making these easy to search and organize. I've put together some tips for making your paper notes more searchable here:
… and getting them into your computer so that you can organize them along with the rest of your notes.
Lately I've been using Flickr for sharing and tagging images and Evernote for the occasional hand-written search. Let's see how this works out…
I'm really curious about how other people manage their paper notes. I've been trying to find more details on how Isaac Asimov organized his notes – filing cabinets, apparently, but it would be great to get more detail! Do you have a large paper archive? How do you manage it? Do you know anyone who does this really well?

It strikes me that you just established that taking notes is better done on paper and retrieving notes is better digitally. The technical hurdle is the transfer from paper to digital. (Would like some hyper portable iPhone rig + software.)
I find that scanning things when I get back home works fine for me, since I can just flip through the notebook if I need to refer to something recent and everything else can wait. =) Some people take pictures of their notebooks with their smartphones, but lighting and perspective can be tough. There are apps that will autocorrect some of those problems, although I still find it more convenient to use a proper scanner.
Regards page numbering, a know of one person that uses an automatic numbering stamp to number each page and then use this number in this online notes to reference the page. The numbers are consecutive across notebooks so a number uniquely identifies both a page and a notebook.
[1] https://www.google.com/search?q=automatic+numbering+stamp+machine
Oh! I had considered using one of those, but the stamps were pretty expensive, so I didn't bother. Awesome tool, though. =) Hmm, maybe I should use those for my sketches, since I go through more than a hundred a month…
Like the idea of building your own index at the back of the notebook. I wonder why I had not seen that before?
I picked it up from someone else. =) Handy little hack, although it takes some work to number the pages if your notebook doesn't already have numbers. I number every other page and then just do the math.

If we notice Parineeti Chopra, has been running away in most of her recent films. She was seen running away from her wedding in Shuddh Desi Romance, where she was paired opposite Sushant Singh Rajput. In Hasee Toh Phasee as well, she was seen running away from her house, this time paired opposite Sidharth Malhotra.
The most recent addition to the list is Daawat-e-Ishq, starring opposite Aditya Roy Kapur. The trailer of the film suggests that Parinneti Chopra is running away in this film as well! When asked whether this is coincidence or some formula for successful films, Parineeti said, "May be makers thing if there is something to do with running away, we should cast Parineeti in it. (Laughs) No, but on a serious note its sheer coincidence, and I really never gave it much of a thought. I think in my next film I should make others run"
Well whatever it may be, it surely strikes a chord with Parineet's fans.

European Parliament Committee OKs Abolition of Roaming as of Dec 2015
The European Parliament's industry committee has approved legislation which envisages the abolition of roaming tariffs as of December 15, 2015.
Starting December 15, 2015, making a call or sending an email from a mobile phone abroad will cost the same as doing so at home, under legislation adopted by the European Parliament's industry committee on 18 March.
Before the new rules can enter into force, they will still need to be approved by both the European Parliament and the Council, according to the press office of the EP.
Since 2007 the EU has been gradually reducing roaming charges.
Thanks to EU legislation, consumers have seen the roaming costs of calls and text messages drop by 80%, while data roaming is now up to 91% cheaper than back in 2007. Despite this, 28% of travellers in the EU still switch off their phones abroad to avoid roaming charges, according to a survey by the European Commission.

"I just wish Ken and Lisa didn't leave like that and confirm what I already thought to be true," Kyle said. "I need an apology, and I don't think I'm going to get it."
Last week, Brandi told Kyle that Lisa had put tabloids containing articles about Kyle's husband Mauricio's alleged cheating into her suitcase, which Lisa denies.
"They didn't want to have the conversations," Yolanda stated.
Even Richards' better half got in on this. Meanwhile, Kyle's husband Mauricio Umansky confided to Joyce Giraud's husband about Lisa and Ken's "betrayal."
