In Glascoff v. OneBeacon Midwest Ins. Co., 2014 WL 1876984 (S.D.N.Y. May 8, 2014), the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held that two claims – which seemingly contained allegations concerning deficient corporate structure, and lack of board oversight – did not share a sufficient factual nexus to be considered Interrelated Wrongful Acts to allow coverage for the second claim that was made post-policy period. The decision, which references several New York decisions on related claims, likely will make it more difficult to argue that claims are related absent specific factual circumstances common to both matters.
The claims were submitted by the former board of directors (the "Board") of the insured, Park Avenue Bank ("PAB"), which was closed by state banking authorities and placed into receivership with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Shortly after PAB's closure, Charles Antonucci ("Antonucci"), PAB's president, chief executive and a director, was arrested and charged with defrauding a federal bank bailout program and for self-dealing with PAB funds.
The initial claim, made during the policy period, involved FDIC demands against the Board alleging breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and gross negligence in connection with the failure of PAB (the "FDIC Claim"). The FDIC primarily alleged that the Board failed to supervise and conduct PAB's business, and ensure compliance with banking regulations, focusing on PAB's deficient internal and underwriting controls. The FDIC also generally asserted that the Board failed to act on allegations of improper conduct by Antonucci, which caused harm to the bank. PAB's insurer, OneBeacon Midwest Insurance Co. ("One Beacon"), accepted the FDIC Claim for coverage under the D&O Policy (the "Policy").
The second claim, made two years after the FDIC Claim and post-policy period, involved a lawsuit brought by investors under state securities laws, and sought control person liability against the Board and Antonucci (the "Securities Claim"). Plaintiffs alleged that Antonucci made false statements, misrepresentations, and omissions in inducing them to invest with PAB customers; however, the investments were used to fund Antonucci's self-dealing. The Securities Claim also alleged "lax corporate oversight" by the Board, and PAB's lack of "sound corporate governance."
Following submission under the Policy, OneBeacon rejected the Board's attempts to argue that the Securities Claim and FDIC Claim involved "Interrelated Wrongful Acts," and denied coverage for the Securities Claim as made outside the policy period. In response, the Board initiated a suit against OneBeacon.
The District Court found that the relevant policy provisions were unambiguous, including the term "Interrelated Wrongful Act," defined as "Wrongful Acts which have as a common nexus any fact, circumstance, situation, event, transaction or series of related facts, circumstances, situations, events or transactions." In reviewing a wide body of New York case law, the District Court determined that the "factual overlap…is tenuous at best," and rejected the Board's attempts to view the claims as arising out of the deficient corporate structure at PAB or the Board's lack of oversight, finding that the Board's conclusory allegations of similarity between the matters lacked factual support. The District Court noted that claims could theoretically have a sufficient factual nexus even though they involved different aggrieved parties and varied theories of liability, however, it ultimately held that there was not an adequate overlay here between the wrongful acts alleged in the two matters to consider them interrelated, and a single claim made during the policy period.

Thoughts on the next mayor
Letters to the editor on San Diego's next leader for Aug. 28, 2013
Donna Frye
She has been in numerous city-wide races.
She actually got the most votes in a mayoral campaign but lost due to a technicality.
She has broad citywide support among independents.
She has built a reputation of integrity — aided by the perception that, after searching her soul, made the scandal public in spite of her historical loyalty to Filner
She has broad grassroots support.
She has a large mail/email list.
Been vetted by opponents and overcame campaign negativity.
Lori Saldana
Ran a congressional race with a large vote count, lost in the congressional primary by just a few votes in spite of running against opponents with virtually unlimited funding.
Has a very loyal following.
A proven fundraiser both locally and nationally.
Has a campaign organization in place that can be fired up on short notice.
Has won Assembly races by a wide margin.
Has a reputation of integrity.
Been vetted by opponents and overcame campaign negativity.
Is president of the Sierra Club with 35,000 San Diego members that she has access to.
Michael Thaller, Chairman
The Progressive Caucus of the California Democratic Party
Suspect of Fletcher's switch
Fletcher Your recent editorial ("Character matters," Aug. 25) that advocated the need for a strong character trait in the next elected mayor of San Diego should also have to include the attendant qualities that define character.
Among those attributes is an ideological conviction by that person to convey the trust as a representative of the greater needs of the community.
All too often an aspiring politician exposes their lack of sincerity for the sake of political expediency, as clearly exampled by Nathan Fletcher (Fletcher explains evolution before second run for mayor," Aug. 28).
His explained transformation from Republican to Independent and now Democrat within a 14-month period is indicative of a person who is more concerned about being elected to public office at all cost.
Apparently, with his intent to represent special interest groups who bankroll his campaign.
Ron Ceyba
No more professional politicians for mayor
Regarding "A road map for our next mayor (Opinion, Aug. 25), Mr. Burnham suggests the mayor must reach out to build partnerships and coalitions with organizations most eager to move the city forward.
Former Mayor Sanders adds we've grown impatient with political drama, immoral behavior and lackluster leadership.
Lorena Gonzales adds the new mayor must continue to pursue an inclusive agenda that empowers people and neighborhoods to better their lives.
The mayor must be leader of this big city. Sanders was a courteous and always respectful leader, prepared for office by managing a key city department. He was approachable and considerate, as he promoted open government.
Then we got Mayor Filner, who never managed an organization. His strength was in lining up votes for House bills and special interests to get him re-elected. He was elected with strong union funding and worker support, because the leadership detested Carl DeMaio's attempt to undo the past council cave-in to union demands, which created the DROP program and allowed employees to earn more in retirement than in their working years.

Touro Law to Commemorate Kristallnacht
Remembered as Beginning of the Holocaust, Commemoration Program Includes Survivor Boris Kotler
November 3, 2009
Central Islip, NY
– Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center will host a commemorative program remembering Kristallnacht on Monday, November 9 at 12:30 pm in the faculty conference room. The program is being presented by Touro Law's Jewish Programs Committee. The special guest speaker is Holocaust survivor Boris Kotler.
Mr. Kotler was born in Siemiatycze, Poland, a town of 7,000 Jews, in 1930. On September 1, 1939 the Russians attacked Poland. At that time, half of Poland became part of the Soviet Union and the other half was German. In June of 1941 Germany attacked Poland and took over the entire country. In the Spring of 1942 all Polish Jews that could be found were taken from their homes and placed in the Ghetto. Less than a year later, in November 1942, the Ghetto was "liquidated" and the Jews were shipped to Treblinka for extermination. Fifty Jews from the town of Siemiatycze survived the Holocaust. Boris Kotler, a very bright and resourceful 12 year old hid in the Ghetto during the evacuation and within 24 hours fled the Ghetto to the woods to fight for his survival with other Jewish teenagers until their liberation in July 1944.
Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom against Jews throughout Germany and parts of Austria on November 9 and 10, 1938. Jewish homes were ransacked in numerous German cities along with 8,000 Jewish shops, towns and villages, as civilians and storm troopers destroyed buildings with sledgehammers, leaving the streets covered in smashed glass. Jews were beaten to death; 30,000 Jewish men were taken to concentration camps; and 1,668 synagogues ransacked with 267 set on fire. To many, this planned "spontaneous" event marked the beginning of what would later be called the Holocaust, and thus it is remembered each year for what it meant in Jewish history, and in the history of all civilized people.
Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center has a new 185,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art law campus adjacent to and working with a state and a federal courthouse in Central Islip, New York. Touro's new campus provides a one-of-a kind learning model for law students, combining a rigorous curriculum taught by expert faculty with a practical courtroom experience. Touro, which has a student body of approximately 750 and an alumni base of nearly 5,000, offers full- and part-time J.D. programs as well as graduate law program.

I received a sample of this in the color 001 and it was too light for my NC25-30 skin tone. I think 002 would've been a better match. This is extremely moisturizing and easy to blend. Perfect for under eyes as long as your circles aren't really dark; it gives light-medium coverage. However, I ended up not buying this because it doesn't give full coverage for my really dark circles.
Overall, this is actually a really good concealer. But it just isn't for me because I was looking for a full coverage concealer.

Unlike a lot of concealers I've tried, this doesn't cake up under my eyes! It has good coverage, nice packaging, and isn't absurdly pricey. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because I'm not sure if the coverage is perfect. Maybe it's my application, but I'm still on the hunt for something that makes my dark circles disappear. For now, I'm really happy with this product though. I absolutely recommend it to anyone who has problems with concealers settling into fine lines. I'm young (and if anything look younger than my years) and have issues with concealers doing that, so I'm sure it's a problem for tons of women.

I really like this concealer because it comes in a shade light enough for my NC10/15 skin and it provides moderate coverage with a non-cakey finish. It's pricey but I would pay it except for one problem - it's totally gone within a few hours. I've tried various setting powders and even though my foundation looks great at 5pm, my concealer has disappeared. Really disappointing.

Good consistency to cover redness if you have dry patches, but feels heavy and sticky. Usually I end up with my face full of fingerprints... Its almost impossible to cover any spots or litle imperfections, because it's just slimy layer on skin that doesn't set or stay in place without heavy powdering(I don't like to wear powder on my foundation, because it looks better without). Creases badly under my eyes. Poor color selection! 001 is too light and 002 too dark so I have to mix my own shade.

I bought this to replace the discontinued "Christian Dior - Hydrating Concealer" which was my HG. My beauty regime normally goes something like this: Spend an eternity looking for suitable product - Finally find HG - Manufacturer discontinues it - Start again.
I was expecting the same with this concealer but I can safely say that Dior did it right - this is a perfect replacement for the discontinued product. It has great coverage, super staying power, easy to apply with tiny nozzle and gentle dots under your eyes, and a little goes a long way. It even covers the broken veins around my nostrils.

Omg, HG concealer. I wish I didn't love this so much because it's so freakin expensive. But it's perfection! It's creamy and blendable, and the coverage is great. I especially love that it doesn't come in a pot, so no cross-contamination. A little goes a LONG way. Makes my skin look flawless. Will repurchase forever!

Fabulous HG concealer. I use this instead of foundation on the discolored, red areas of my skin, mostly around the nose and chin. I then use Mac studio finish for pimples or freckles and lightly dust a mineral powder over the rest of my face and my skin looks perfect. This concealer is perfect for pigmentation or red areas.

Its called "NUDE" because it shows the imperfections that your trying so hard to hide. I will give it 5 lippies for its "NUDENESS" and the way it shows blemishes.
Another amazing product from Dior
PS for Dior: Please stick with skin care products and clothes instead of making terrible make up products.
Update: I couldnt help myself but use the half full tube that i stopped using three months ago, now I have tiny little bumps on the sides of my jaws :(

I adore this concealer! Coverage is great, very buildable but at the same time it is sheer enough to use as an undereye cover up. Consistency is perfect, not too thick, so it blends like magic. I have verrrry sensitive skin and so far it hasn't broke me out so I'm very impressed! Well worth the $$$$ since you get enough product to last you years.

I don't know what took me so long to try this! i'm a concealer junkie and for some reason i have just now, at 26, discovered this and want to tell eberyone about it but everyone already knows.. (like pilgrims excited over "their" new world american indians have already known and appreciated the bounties of the land for millennia) and not i have eczema that every few weeks springs up around my eyes (horrible! and it's not from allergies to products) so the skin around my eyes is really dry and easily irritated as well as horrible dark circles that are hereditary as well as from my allergies AND the eczema has left some hyperpigmentation around my eyes as well (lucky me.. *sigh*) and this wonderful product is like magic! As i said, everybody already knows all about this so there's not much i can say that hasn't already been said. I really debated over a 4 or 5 lippie rating (which, to me, is saying a lot) and I settled (probably unfairly) with a 4, even though it's a 5 compared to many concealers I've tried but still isn't absolutely perfect, but mostly because of my fantasy of the coveted, possibly nonexistent, 5 lippie HG concealer.. it's gotta be out there somewhere.. right?.. right!?!

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3
What's the point of Shurikens?
They do so little damage and are kind of pointless since you can just block them. Only people like Deidara, Ten-Ten, or Temari can actually use them. Then Chakra Shurikens are entirely pointless. They do a little extra damage but you can block them just as easily. Some characters have a spinning Chakra shuriken which is decent but just a few characters have it for some reason.
If Chakra Shurikens could stop Chakra Dashes it'd be 10x more useful :/
To annoy your opponent pretty much. The only ones aside from one-button characters that are worth using, are demon wind shuriken users.
"The more you make people cry = the better player you are." - Eternux
They can stop an Awakening, a good amount of Ninjutsu during their startup, such as Kisame's Water Shark Bomb and most others, and just deal small amounts of damage if you're not in a good position.
For some players, they can jump in the middle of a combo anticipating a substitution and throw Shuriken to slow the opponent down before resetting the combo.
It's basically a spacing/interruption tool, but Demon Wind users like PTS Sasuke and KCM Naruto can make really good use of the Chakra Shuriken with their Instant Awakenings.
She has got me locked up tighter than I thought. She's a quick-licking pleasure sucker, hotter than a mother******.
Because, incredible as it looks, CC2 was developing a Naruto adaptation first and a fighting game in second. If players couldn't throw shurikens, would be a lot of fan revolt.
"I feel a red liquid filling my head like a cup in this moment.
It's called hate."

I concur.
Shuriken are base tools in every Advanced Offense string, they interrupt attacks, allow you to suspend opponents midair longer and cancel moves that are otherwise un-cancellable.
Chakra Shuriken also have higher priority than ranged character's attacks so they can allow you to get closer while causing damage.

Identity: Yours, Mine, Ours, Immigration Museum Exhibition, 2011-2021
Image: Tin - Piccaninny Floor Polish
Source: Museum Victoria
Identity: yours, mine, ours explores who we are, who others think we are, and what it means to belong and not belong in Australia. The exhibition focuses on how cultural heritage, languages, beliefs, and family connections have, and do, influence our self-perceptions and our perceptions of others. This can lead to discovery, confusion, prejudice and understanding.
Engaging personal stories, intriguing objects, compelling images and interactive multimedia experiences invite visitors to find both expected and unexpected connections with others, as well as challenge the assumptions we make about each other every day.
The exhibition encourages visitors (both in the gallery and online) to share their stories, affirm their identities and celebrate diversity in our community.
This exhibition has offered an exciting opportunity to bring together and creatively interpret a diverse array of material culture that will often be unexpected in the context of the Immigration Museum. Popular culture, racist and anti-racist ephemera, religious and sporting items, Aboriginal historical and contemporary cultural material, and an eclectic mix of artworks are all combined and interpreted to challenge visitors beyond the more conventional narratives of migration. Over 130 objects have been drawn primarily from the Museum's History and Technology collections (including the Migration, Cultural Identity, and Numismatic collections). Community and institutional loans relating to particular personal stories are also included, including those exploring Aboriginal experiences.
An interactive display exploring the theme of First Impressions incorporates a small number of objects which have either symbolic resonance about diverse forms of visible identities or represent personal experiences of family connection and disconnection.
The theme of Belonging draws upon museum and community objects to explore a variety of personal and collective experiences which cross time and culture - both in inter-cultural and cross-cultural ways. This theme is object rich and eclectic and places artefacts together in unexpected ways. Moreover the focus on Creativity within this theme provides the opportunity to present a cornucopia of beautiful often thought-provoking artworks which all explore personal identity in ways unique to the experiences and chosen media of the artists. This case features objects from the Museum's Immigration and Artistic Practice collection while also bringing in new works on loan or purchased by unrepresented communities. Short videos provide further insights into personal and community stories and the related objects, with cultural and faith representation including: Albanian Muslim, Irish, Brazilian, Caribbean, Scottish, Indian Sikh, Wotjobaluk, Naga, Jewish, Vietnamese, Sudanese, Latvian, German, Chinese, Christian Fijian, Greek, Japanese, and Wathaurong.
The final theme of Difference uses objects in very different and often confronting ways. A small number of objects provide material representations of theories and politics of race over time within the context of a strong graphic presentation and text-based historical narrative. These items range from an early magic lantern slide to an anti-racism protest badge. Another section draws on a rich, colourful and very familiar array of objects, including toys, games, clothing, advertising material and product packaging, to explore how popular culture has affected the creation and perpetuation of stereotypes. Some of these items are clearly prejudicial, while other more subtle objects consider the complexities of intention and interpretation according to the different viewpoints of the producer, target and consumer across time.
This is a long-term exhibition and some objects will change over time as new stories are represented and conservation requirements mean that more fragile items are removed from display and exchanged for new ones.

Alabama hit again by tornadoes; 2 dead, 100 hurt
OAK GROVE, Ala. Knowing this community's history of tornadoes, Jhan Powers gets nervous anytime violent weather rolls in. While her house was spared this time, a tornado demolished nearby mobile homes - all of which were just a short drive from a path of destruction cut just last year by a deadly twister.
At least two tornadoes roared across the heart of Alabama on Monday, killing two people and injuring more than 100 others during the middle of the night. More than 200 homes were destroyed, the Red Cross said, and just as many houses were heavily damaged.
The storm awoke families, and many huddled together as winds howled outside. After the storms passed, rescue teams had to go door-to-door in some places, calling out to residents.
The unincorporated community of Oak Grove was hit hard in April and again Monday, though officials said none of the same neighborhoods was struck twice.
"I would really like to never see another tornado again," Powers said as neighbors sorted through the remnants of their home. "When you see this destruction, how can you not take it seriously?"
The area near Birmingham has a history of being a tornado alley going back decades. In April, about 20 people were killed in Jefferson County, most of them close to Oak Grove.
Powers' brother was injured in April 1998 when a tornado killed 34 people, injured 260 and destroyed Oak Grove High School. The storm left barren what was once a heavily-wooded section of the county.
In a sign the state has become all too familiar with severe weather, officials had to reschedule a meeting Monday to receive a report on their response to the spring twisters.
Retiree Mary Roberts covered her mouth with her hand and grew misty-eyed describing what happened within sight of her mobile home on Toadvine Cemetery Road in Oak Grove.
Just across the street, a twister ripped apart Amber and Russ Butler' trailer, which was scattered across a pasture. The couple took cover in a relative's brick home, and they were not injured.
Further down the road, Roberts' sister, Janice Sims, lost her husband Bobby and her home.
"They were in a double wide. They have a camper buried that they use to get down in during storms, but it happened so quick they couldn't get to it," she said.
Roberts said her sister is hospitalized but should recover. "I just don't know what she's going to do," she said.
As dawn broke, residents surveyed the damage and began cleaning up across several parts of central Alabama. The governor declared a state of emergency.
The storm system stretched from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, producing hail, strong winds and rain.
Jefferson County, Ala., has been infamous for destructive tornadoes dating back to the 1930s.
State Climatologist John Christy said there seems to be a general path from central Mississippi going into north Alabama that gets attention for a large number of especially intense tornadoes. One theory has to do with the distance from the Gulf of Mexico. The area sits between the warm moist air from the Gulf and cold air from the north.

The Skaneateles Area Chamber of Commerce requested board approval to decorate the gazebo in Clift Park for fall at the Aug. 24 Skaneateles Village Board meeting.
Decorations would be put up sometime around Sept. 17 and remain until the end of October.
"This is just to make it look pretty," said Sue Dove, executive director of the chamber.
The chamber hopes the decorations -- such as corn stalks and other fall items -- will be donated by community members. Trustee Marc Angelillo requested recognition of who donated what to the display not be placed on the gazebo so it doesn't look like the village is "selling" the space.
Dove said the chamber could work something out where recognition to those who donate goes on the chamber Web site or in the newsletter.
The request was approved.

Do Authors Choose their Covers?
Therese Walsh on Apr 27 2010 | Filed under: Business
Before I forget to mention this, I'll be presenting a session on "Unboxed Platform" at Grub Street's The Muse & The Marketplace conference in Boston this coming weekend. If you're there, stop by and say hey. Also, WU friend Erika Liodice has posted a Q&A with me today on her site, Beyond the Gray–all about working toward goals and pushing through doubts. Swing by if you can. Finally, rumor has it that WU has made the Writer's Digest Best Websites for Writers list for the 4th year in a row. W00t!
Today I want to talk about covers. "Did you have any influence on your cover?" is one of the most asked questions whenever I do a presentation with book clubs or writing groups. (I've done ten since The Last Will of Moira Leahy was published, if you can believe it.)
The short answer is yes. But it's way more complicated than that, so let me take you through the steps–or at least explain how it worked for me.
The Cover Concept Meeting
Almost a year before the book was released, I was told that a cover concept meeting would soon be taking place to discuss Last Will–a meeting when lots of ideas are thrown around by the editor, possibly the publisher, and others involved in the book. This is when the author's voice may be presented to the art department. I was invited to submit any ideas I had, including any jpgs of images that I felt spoke to the work.
Of course I took them up on their offer, and submitted about a page of description about twins, the book's water themes, and magical realism, and named some setting possibilities–Castine, Maine and Rome, Italy. I also sent 36 pictures along in a Word document, which now feels over the top, but at the time felt just right. (You know how I love a good picture.) Of those 36 shots, 24 were of twins or included water imagery, and many featured saturated colors–great for pop, to attract attention on a bookshelf. One of them even contained a picture of a woman with red hair covered in bubbly, magical looking water. I included jpgs of a few book covers I'd liked, too, including Amy MacKinnon's Tethered and Kate Brallier's The Boundless Deep. (Erm, you think I was subtle about what I wanted? Oh, lunacy, thy name is debut author.)
Designers Designing
Everything is shared with the cover designer–the memo and the photos–before the designer sits with all of those thoughts, digesting before the real design work begins. And then it does begin. Take a look at this great video showcasing the birth of the cover Blameless, a novel by Gail Carringer.
Cool, isn't it?
The Jacket Meeting
At some later date–three months in our case–the potential covers are unveiled at a jacket meeting. Hopefully at least one of them captures the collective imagination of the Important People in the room, including the publisher, and makes them confident the book will shine on a shelf next to other books. In the case of Last Will, the chosen cover did resonate with everyone.
The Author Email
That's when it was presented to me. The first time I opened the PDF file and saw the cover of Last Will, I literally got teary eyed. Yes, I was curious about the other possible covers, but I didn't ask to see them (and probably wouldn't have been shown them even if I had); I was happy. "Have I ever seen a prettier cover?" I wrote right immediately after seeing it. "I think not! The saturated colors are blowing my mind. I love the illumination around the lettering, too. Hug the designer for me!"
Even though we all loved it, I was cautioned not to fall too hard yet. If a top buyer (at Borders, Barnes and Noble, etc…) decided they hated it, that would very likely be the end of the cover. Luckily for us, that wasn't the case. And, let's play devil's advocate for a sec: What would've happened if I'd hated it? Would it have made any difference? Yes, I was told that they would've presented something else.
Other Editions
Foreign editions of Last Will have yet to be published, but when they are, it'll be with new covers (I have editions coming out in Brazil and Germany–later this year, I think, and next). And a large-print edition of the book is already available, which features a slightly different cover showing more of the cover model's face.
Random House has also been gearing up for the trade paperback release of Last Will and–you guessed it–we're going to have a new cover. Want to see?
Twins. Water. Saturated colors that'll still jive with my website (phew). This isn't the final version of the cover, by the way, but it's close enough for show-and-tell.
Why change a cover that so many loved? I've heard that question quite a lot lately. The reason: Because sometimes it's smart to woo a particular audience with a particular look. In this case–with the Library Journal quote and the image of twin girls–the cover should appeal to the contemporary women's fiction crowd.
So that's what it takes to put a cover together and how an author can impact it.

About Therese Walsh
Therese Walsh co-founded Writer Unboxed in 2006. Her second novel, The Moon Sisters, was named a Best Book of 2014 by Library Journal and BookRiot. Her debut, The Last Will of Moira Leahy, sold to Random House in a two-book deal in 2008, was named one of January Magazine's Best Books, and was a Target Breakout Book. She's never been published with a lit magazine, but LOST's Carlton Cuse liked her Twitter haiku best and that made her pretty happy.

Great story. When my non-fiction book was published, I had no input into the cover design, but my publisher's art department absolutely nailed it.
I was given the same type of opportunity as you to give information for my two fiction books, including what color was the heroine's hair (nice to be consistent there) and what I thought the cover should portray. With novel #1, it took three tries (and they gave me input into each) before we settled on what I think is a great design. For #2 they got it on the first try. We haven't started the process on #3 yet.
I'll be interested to see the experience of other authors with their covers. Thanks for posting about this subject.
I'll be the first to admit I buy a book based on two things: (1) I know the author either personally or through past works, or (2) I love the cover. I pulled LWML off the shelf simply because it was beautiful. If not for that, I wouldn't have found Therese, WU, or half the wonderful people I know on Twitter so a cover can do magical, wonderful things for a book and for the people who read it. ; )
In addition to the image, what appeals to me most is the texture of the cover. Usually it's a pretty subtle thing, but it's the gloss or the grit in my hands that's kept me from buying an e-reader.
That is fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing your experiences and wisdom with us.
I imagine it would be a difficult job to select the right cover art. I remember when we were building our house having to make all those choices; flooring, countertops, cupboard designs and drawer pulls—it seemed like the choices were endless.
Just looking at the two examples you posted here I'm not sure I could pick my favorite.
Hi Therese,
Cover design is something I've often wondered about. I appreciate you giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the process!
And thanks again for sharing your journey to publication with us over at Beyond the Gray!! You're an inspiration.

This is a great piece! I'm in the middle of reading Therese's book (loving it) so it's fascinating to learn a little bit about the process behind it. And I'll be going through this process soon with my first novel so it's good to know what to expect. I love both the hardcover and paperback covers of Last Will. Both are perfect in different ways. I think the reader who made the comparison with making decisions for a house nailed it. When we renovated our kitchen a few years ago my husband and I had SUCH different ways of going about it. He wanted to see every single choice available for everything and really consider all of them and I wanted someone to say, "Here are two choices. Pick one and move along." It will be interesting to see how that method transfers to book covers.
Interesting, Therese. As an indie author I'm in the process of going this alone, with an independent designer I've had to hire myself on a tight budget, and no input other than her experience and both of our ideas. It's been great fun, though: after all these years of working almost exclusively with words and mental images, I've loved discovering the process of bringing these images to life. Like you, I got teary when I saw the first concept mockup. But we'll never know whether top buyers will like it or hate it (or whether this even matters in my case….)
I'm also intrigued by your account of changing the cover several times. I've often wondered why publishers do that, and have sometimes been disappointed to find that a cover I really love has been replaced.
The large print cover showing more of the model's face seems very different to me; more revealing and in a way less enticing because less is hidden and left to the imagination and curiosity of the potential reader. Also I'm curious – what did the publisher make of the covers that had images of twins? That strikes me as a powerful thing and after reading the book I wonder why they didn't go with it. It would certainly have drawn me in.
Wow. Great post, and that video is amazing. :)
You certainly got a gorgeous cover with Last Will, but I like the new cover, too. It shows more of the twins' lovely red hair. In fact, now I'M getting teary eyed from looking at those covers and remembering the story… I think it's time to read it again.
.-= Lydia Sharp´s last blog ..Tuesday Tunes–Using Love Songs To Kick Butt =-.
DUUUUUUDE that video is amazing. In my day job I'm surrounded by talented designers, but we're not as Photoshop heavy as that cover was. Stunning skills, and I love the end result (series of covers)!
I have to admit, I love your hardcover cover, so I was happy to purchase that version over the paperback. That said, the paperback cover DOES have a certain appeal (especially in larger format — I had only seen itty bitty thumbnails prior to today) so I can see why they went in that direction. I love the symmetry.
Thanks for the info on covers. I can't wait to see my own cover someday… ;)
.-= Kristan´s last blog .."Maybe" never sounded so good =-.
So interesting, Therese! I had a similar experience with Twilight of Avalon's cover–and actually not just me but my agent and everyone else I consulted collectively didn't much like the first cover we were shown, so my publishers were good enough to scrap it and come up with something completely new. And I got to pick Dark Moon of Avalon's cover, too. Though now of course that cover is going to be scrapped, too, in favor of a completely different look!
Thanks for this, Therese. It's nice to see how the whole process works. I'm a very visual person, so–like you–I would have probably sent in a ton of pictures. Your covers are beautiful!
.-= Suzannah´s last blog ..How Quitting Can Help You Finish Your Writing =-.
That's fascinating! I love that you sent all those pictures. They clearly were able to get a good idea of what you wanted from all of that.
And your covers are gorgeous!
.-= Erika Robuck´s last blog ..Authors to Watch =-.
How fortunate you were to be allowed some input! I love the cover of your novel, and the images you linked as examples/inspiration are gorgeous as well. Perhaps we just have similar tastes. Still, this is a great thing to see, since so often it seems authors don't get any say.
.-= Kristin Laughtin´s last blog ..Getting it done =-.
I have to agree with Kristin, often we get little or no input on covers (depends on the publisher…mine lets us make suggestions, but those may or may not end up being used when the cover is designed). I've had one knockout cover, one so-so, and one dud, and it really does affect sales, so consider yourself very lucky if you not only get involvement in the process but the process results in something really striking to potential readers!
I love your new cover! The twins do catch the eye.
Isn't the Blameless video amazing? Too cool.
.-= Deb Salisbury´s last blog ..Blog posts for writers – April 27 =-.
Wow, really interesting. I had never considered about this process. Thanks for this.
.-= Liz H. Allen´s last blog ..Progress Check-In (pledge writers response request) =-.
Coming to this late, but a few comments. First, I loved that video. After spending a few days exhausting my paltry photoshopping skills, I'm all the more impressed.
Second, Jennifer Crusie had a blog post about two weeks ago about cover art. Her back list is being re-released, and the issues and process about having art that captures the essence of the book, appeals and says "by the same author" might interest your readers.
Third, I wonder if the different images aren't designed to catch the eye of a slightly different demographic. Your hard cover art is breathtaking but has a more educated, European vibe. This one might appeal to a younger crowd – perhaps the ones who waited for paperback prices out of necessity.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Blue Ginger Cottage/Mele Hale - 'Happy Home' is situated in the wonderful town of Kailua on the windward side of Oahu. This is the ideal Bed and Breakfast home for a family with 2 – 3 children, or couples celebrating a special event. It is three blocks to the center of town, and two blocks to glorious Kailua Beach. The property is very private; like a park on almost one half an acre. Feed the birds in the morning. Laze in the hammock; sit on one of two lanais - one off the bedroom in the garden, the other overlooking the pool and Jacuzzi. Recreation opportunities abound. Swim in the lap pool, or work out in the outdoor fitness center. In addition, the adjacent family lanai is available to guests for private parties. there have been weddings, family reunions and rehearsal dinners just to name a few of the events. Some Sundays, we like to entertain those guests who are interested in what we call Bubbly Sunday.' That means a small gathering of family and friends for a light, potluck dinner and some champagne.
The inside is bright and very comfortable with 18 foot ceilings and ceiling fans. Fresh flowers, fruit, juice, breads, cereal and coffee are all part of the welcome package. The refrigerator and cupboards have condiments often needed for home cooking; spices, vinegar/oil, peanut butter, etc. The amenities include everything needed for cooking – full size refrigerator with ice maker, microwave, electric skillet, toaster, coffee maker, etc. The outdoor 4 burner grill is often used. The only thing missing is an oven.
Sleeping arrangements are the queen bed in the bedroom, a double bed in the loft which overlooks the bedroom, and two twin beds in the sitting area.
Access to the property is through 3 exclusive exterior entrances – the sitting area, the bedroom and the bathroom. We are the owners living on the property, next to the attached cottage. We are available at your request to answer your questions and share what we know about the islands. Our goal is to provide you with a home-like atmosphere. Your comfort is our top priority.
Keywords: Park like grounds, tropical spacious cottage for 2 to five people; ideal for family with 3 children.
We had a wonderful stay with our three kids age 7, 11 and 14 this summer at Blue Ginger. They enjoyed the spacious garden, the pool, the jacuzzi, the hammock, and all the pool toys, as well as the bodyboards and surfboard we were allowed to take to the beach. Susan and her husband were excellent hosts, with good recommendations for our excursions.
We really enjoyed being invited to their potluck barbecue with all their Hawaiian friends. It was a wonderful experience for a Norwegian family.
The cottage was pretty, very clean, and we appreciated the basket of baking goods, fruit etc that Susan left for us on our arrival. The kids fought to sleep in the attick.
We would really love to return some day.
By the way - the beach and the bay was beautiful - you will not miss Waikiki for a minute!
I spent three of my four weeks in Hawaii in this cottage in Kailua (The first was on the Big Island in a timeshare.) and had an absolutely wonderful time! It has an open, airy feeling and was just the right size for me so that I felt like I was at home in my own apartment. Having access to the pool and grill in the backyard were especially important to me, and the Jacuzzi felt fantastic after attending my weekly boot camps at a gym in Honolulu. The walk to Kailua Beach is a mere block or two away and ends up in a section that doesn't get as crowded as the beach park area further south. I could also walk (or drive) to the business district and have delicious breakfasts and the best Americano (sorry Starbucks!) at a little café called Morning Brew.
As for the landlords, Susan and Claude were delightful and so accommodating! They ventured all the way to Waikiki with me (a far distance for these settled-in town dwellers!) to attend Hawaii Five-0's Sunset on the Beach premier...what great sports! And their Bubbly Sundays, where they serve Prosecco and grilled foods to whomever of their family and friends that show up, were a lot of fun.
The only drawback was that the island was experiencing unseasonably hot, humid weather for a couple weeks because of the absence of the usual trade winds, so the apartment got hot and stuffy during the day. But the large ceiling exhaust fan and the little fans placed around the cottage helped alleviate the heat and, since I was out and about during most days anyway, it wasn't a major problem. (Maybe a strategically placed swamp cooler in the kitchen/living area would help keep it cooler.)
I would rent this cottage again without any hesitation. Mahalo, Susan and Claude, for helping to make my dream vacation in Hawaii extra special!
We stayed with our 2 kids and absolutely LOVED it! The pool was wonderful and the room was very comfortable. We enjoyed letting the kids run around in the HUGE yard and they enjoyed chasing and catching the geckos (the owner has toys for the kids to do this). The loft worked great for our teenager to slip away and have his own space. We hope to stay again soon!
We could not have been more happy with the Blue Ginger Cottage, it absolutely made our trip. The location is perfect, only a few blocks from the heart of Kailua Town and a block off the beach. We hardly used our car during our stay because it was just so much more pleasant to walk everywhere. The actual cottage is fantastic, Susan has added a lot of small touches that makes it above and beyond most rentals. The breeze that goes throughout the rooms is lovely, we were never too hot, and it's an added bonus to listen to the tropical birds sing outside your windows in the morning. We thought the place was actually much more spacious than it appears in the photos, in the three weeks we stayed there it was the perfect size. The back lanai is lovely for morning breakfast or bbqing in the evenings and the landscaped backyard is beautiful.
The nearby beaches, Kailua and Lanikai, are honestly two of the best beaches on the island (trust me, we explored almost all of them). We felt so spoiled to be within walking distance of both.
Our favorite part of the whole stay though was the hosts, Susan and Claude. They are wonderful people that we really enjoyed getting to know. They give you plenty of privacy when needed but are available to give advice about places to eat, sightseeing on the island and any other questions you may have. We now consider them friends and can't wait to come back and stay again in the future!
This place was perfect for our family of 4. We stay at a lot of rental properties while holidaying and it's places that have owners as managers that really are a cut above the rest. Sussan was fabulous. She borrowed cribs and strollers from her friends for my children and even put a child gate at the back door. There were plenty of condiments etc in the fridge and towels were changed whenever we wanted. We were even able to use her washer and dryer and she supplied all the powder. Probably the most amazingly generous thing she did was buy us a 2nd hand booster seat and deliver it to our car rental company (at the aiport) the day before we arrived. I'm sure my own brother wouldn't even do that for me!
The photos do not do this light, airy place justice. My husband was worried when I said it had no a/c but it really didn't need it as the ceilings are very high and the fans worked so well that some nights we had to turn them off because we were cold!
The master bedroom is enormous we had the baby crib and a single mattress (as my son didn't want to sleep by himself!) in there and there was still plenty of room.
THE POOL! Ahhh it was divine. Every time we left my 3 yr old would ask if we could go back to our 'little house' to go in the pool. It is literally 3 paces from your back door.
While there is no oven there were plenty of gizmos and gadgets to prepare a meal for us almost every evening (it's often hard eating out healthily with a 3yr old and 11 month old so we chose to eat in most meals).
I know I was a little nervous about being so close to someone else's house (there is a common wall) but those jitters were quickly extinguished. In our 2 week stay we 'shared' the outside area with Sussan's family once, and she even asked if it was ok prior. I have very noisy children and with the time difference they were up at 5am every morning, often in the pool shortly after and Sussan never complained, she actually mentioned that they hardly heard us at all.
It really is a perfect place to stay at an excellent price. We hardly went to the beach because we couldn't tear the 3 yr old away from the pool and spa. We chose Kailua so we could feel a bit more like locals and it was a great choice.
I can not recommend this place highly enough. We hope to be back one day and our son would really like to sleep in the loft bedroom this time ;)
Thank you for a fabulous stay, sorry it took me so long to write a review!
We've been to Hawaii 6 times and found this property two years ago. We've stayed here twice and are going back again July 2013. First, Kailua is the gem of Oahu. It's quiet, peaceful, and the most beautiful area of the Island. Second, Susan's place, Blue Ginger, is absolutely wonderful. It's a large property with a front yard and back yard full of shady palms and tropical plants with several places to just hide away and sit and read and relax. The breeze off the ocean ruffles the palms as you are only a block and a half from the water. The pool and hot tub are great and you have your own grill to cook out. Susan is a wonderful host and checks in occasionally to see if you need anything. My grandson (9) loves the loft with his own TV and bed. We just love this place and the hosts and highly recommend it to all!
Son is a paraglider and flies tandem for a reasonable cost.

Double trouble; Hollyoaks clocks up its 1,000th episode this week, but co-stars Elize du Toit and Laila Rouass reveal that being a soap babe is no guarantee of a happy love life. In fact, they reckon it makes men run a mile.
In her three years as Hollyoaks' upper class barmaid Izzy, South Africa-born Elize du Toit has become one of our hottest soap stars. She has been voted the sexiest female on the telly and has graced the cover of various lads' mags. But she is genuinely bemused by all the attention, especially since she is currently single.
"I don't know what this babe thing is all about," says Elize, 23. "Men don't even chat me up. Perhaps they are scared of me. I'd love to go out on dates, meet people for dinner and get to know them, but it doesn't happen. Perhaps dating like that is old-fashioned now, because anyone I've ever been out with I've met through friends or work."
Elize has been on her own since her romance with former co-star Ben Hull - who now plays Brookside's Dr Parr - ended last year after nine months. Gossips had a field day when she was then seen out with co-star Nick Pickard (Tony), who is a friend of Ben's.
"I was only 22 when my relationship with Ben finished," says Elize. "He is a lovely guy and we had a great time together. Neither of us called it off, it just came to a natural end. But the story about Nick and I having a thing together was totally untrue."
In the soap, she is experiencing love troubles of a different kind now that Izzy's on-off boyfriend, also called Ben, played by Marcus Patric, has caught the eye of cunning cop Dale (Laila Rouass).
For the moment, Elize is happy spending time alone in her 200-year-old stone cottage in a leafy suburb of Liverpool. Her life has changed a lot since the summer of 2000, when she beat 5,000 other girls in an open audition for Hollyoaks in Edinburgh, where she was studying history. For starters, it meant giving up her degree. But she has never looked back.
"When I see myself on magazine covers I feel as if I don't know the person looking back at me," she says. "Hollyoaks hasn't changed me at all. I never thought I'd be here three years on and still enjoying myself, but I am and it's still a surprise."
Laila Rouass only joined Hollyoaks five months ago, but already her sizzling performances have set the screen alight.
As ruthless cop Dale, she has seduced Izzy's fireman boyfriend Ben. She is also at the heart of one of the teen soap's most dramatic storylines as she gets closer to nailing the serial killer who has been terrifying residents. The murderer, who claims another victim this week, is finally unmasked in Hollyoaks' 1,000th episode.
"As a newcomer it's great to be involved in such a big plot," says Laila, 27. "I'm loving every minute of it."
Born in London to Indian-Moroccan parents, Laila grew up in Tangiers as one of a family of six. After a stint as a model, she won parts in several films, including The Four Feathers in which she kissed Aussie heartthrob Heath Ledger. She has also presented the Miss India contest and hosted shows on MTV. But she came back to Britain two years ago in search of new challenges.
"Hollyoaks immediately caught my eye because it's so different - it's young, glamorous and exciting," says Laila, who beat 70 other girls to the part of Dale and moved from London to Liverpool to start work last December. "It was unbelievable. I don't know how I got it. I didn't even flash my boobs!"
But as a single girl who recently came out of a long-term relationship, her sexy TV image has done nothing to boost her off-screen love life.
"I'm surprised about being labelled a soap babe, but I don't mind," she grins. "I get quite a bit of attention from men when I go out, but nothing ever comes of it. They tend to huddle in a corner talking about me rather than to me. British and Indian men are fairly reserved and don't want to make the first move. It's weird. I feel like telling them to come over and chat me up.
"I'd like to settle down and have children one day - but not yet. I'm having too much of a good time."
l Hollyoaks 1,000th episode, Easter Monday, C4, 6.30pm.

But don't let it be a black and a white one
Cause they'll slam ya down to the street top
Black police showing out for the white cop
from N.W.A – Fuck Tha Police Lyrics on Genius
Don't think that having a police officer be black means that he or she will treat minorities better. Cube points out that these officers will still mistreat kids in order to show off to their bosses, or simply because that's the nature of the job. Read here for a troubling investigation of this phenomenon

I might have been tempted to purchase the Typ 113 if it had a built in VF and full manual control of the ISO and aperture setting at f/1.7. But alas, there are to many compromises for $3k in my opinion.
Just because a person has money, doesn't mean he shouldn't also have some common sense.
my 2¢
This is a shot that any parent would want to have framed and sitting on the desk at work.
It's nice to see that Aperture has not been completely neglected.
Awesome historical fact!
Too bad Kodak folded.
Beautiful and inspiring shots indeed.
A fine camera indeed!
Holy smokes! I'm buying one!
Merry Christmas! Jesus the savior is born! Good will and peace to all!
Can't wait...
Do we need to just update the body's FW 3.01 or do all the lenses also have to be updated again?
Good price
(unknown member): Really? I have to follow this guy's Instagram feed? I have to see what a guy who wears the signature of the highest class of dbag, the aviator glasses, is doing with his girlfriend? I have to find out what this tool's next excuse to take a picture of his girlfriend's butt is? I really need to know that a pretentious, self-involved, Instagram using excuse for a "photographer" is jetsetting around the world with his girlfriend? Why? So I can see what the latest combination of facial hair, sunglasses, and hipster tshirt is the stereotype for an egocentric jerk? That's the only valuable aspect of these photographs I can find.
Irregardless of what his personal character may be, the concept of his "follow me to" is a fun and interesting escape during a 5 minute coffee break. No harm there.
Buon Natale e Merry Christmas a tutti!
Poignant and very well done. Compliments.
I'm coming from a Nikon D700 with AF-S lenses and I can say that I am very happy with my X-Pro 1. Being a photographer that shoots almost exclusively on fully MANUAL and who is intentional on most every shot taken, I can't say that in my experience that the AF or any of the other "issues" have been a problem.
It is a joy to use and has left my other D700 and D7000 to collect dust for the most part. In fact, this summer I'll be going to Australia and plan only on taking the X-Pro 1.
Yeah, finally!
X-Pro 1 users, rejoice!
mizio: sono contentissimo di questa digicam ,la sua tenuta sulle alte luci e il bilanciamento del bianco ottimale in tutte le situazioni la rende la migliore in assoluto.Mi chiedo come mai ne' la nikon e nemmeno la canon di cui praticamente ho avuto circa 10 reflex diverse non possano gestire il white balance e tutto il resto come fa questa x 100 .
Grazie fuji spero presto che questa azienda produca una reflex con tutto quello che di buono nella gestione dei file è riuscita a fare con la x 100.
Approximate translation of the above:
"I'm very happy with this camera. Its optimal performance in all situations of light and white balance is absolutely the best. I wonder how on earth Nikon and Canon, of whom I have various cameras, are not able to achieve the same white balance and everything else that the X100 can produce.
Thanks Fuji. I hope that they can produce a DSLR with all the things that they have been able to produce with the X100."

If you are feeling like you have lost muscle tone, start shelling out for flimsy furniture at Surprise, Surprise. Haul it home, work to assemble it, and use it in the intended way. (If it's a chair, sit in it.) Then, the furniture will start barking at you like some sort of crazy physical trainer: "Surprise! I'm broken! Won't you transport me back from whence I came to replace me with another snazzy furniture item that will also malfunction?" (Sixth-floor walk-up apartment not included, but highly recommended.)

The weather was a bit dirty today, headed out for an early ride to do the last part of the course. This meant trying to do it in reverse first and unfortunately my scribbled notes weren't enough to prevent a few missed turns. It was well marked once I turned around however and I managed to make it back eventually.
