How to Sell at Art Fairs with Ilana Vardy
Art fairs have evolved into one of the premier ways for galleries as well as artists to elevate their profiles from local or regional favorites to national or international players. Fairs provide unique opportunities for galleries everywhere to come together and introduce their best stuff to art world notables who count-- dealers, collectors, curators, agents, critics and the like. There are plenty of ways for galleries to enhance their reputations to be sure, but the face-to-face gallery-to-gallery buyer-to-seller-to-curator-to-collector convocation of a major art fair is tough to top. By the way, for artists who do open studios, art festivals or any other direct selling or showing of your art, much of what you're about to read applies to you too. As you are about to find out, selling your art successfully at fairs or anywhere else is an art in and of itself.
When it comes to visual art, hardly anything beats firsthand viewings, in-person conversations with knowledgeable professionals and accomplished artists, and informed assessments from those in the know-- all of which flourish in a big way at major art fairs. With a top fair typically attracting 20,000-40,000 or more international art fans, exhibitors can easily see more potential clients in several days than they do at their galleries in a year. The upshot? Art fairs are indispensable for anyone who aspires to play the art game at the highest levels, as prospects for advancement abound.
But for a participating gallery, taking full advantage all an art fair can offer is considerably more complicated than festooning the booth with art and waiting for something to happen. Believe it or not, having a successful art fair depends at least as much on endurance, attitude and advance planning as it does on the logistics of the fair itself. Galleries new to fairs often don't understand their responsibilities in this regard. They think all they have to do is set up their booths and sit there, and leave the rest to the promoters and audiences when in truth, they're the ones who had better engage the public-- or else.
Even more important than the gallery as entity is the gallery owner and staff, the potential true stars of the show. According to Ilana Vardy who has directed art fairs for nearly twenty years including Art Chicago, Art Miami, Art DC and Chicago Contemporary and Classic, fairgoers gravitate toward dealers who are thrilled to be there and who demonstrate passion about what they're doing. So that's rule #1-- gallery owners and staff have to be good with the public in order to make an art fair work. No art sells itself; someone has to step up and sell it, and being entertaining in the process certainly doesn't hurt. Your skin's probably crawling at the thought, but that's the way it is, love it or leave it. Certain gallery owners just plain don't belong at art fairs, Vardy says, because they're so miserable while there. They absolutely hate every minute of it, and you know what? When the public senses a gallery owner would rather be somewhere else than manning the booth, they'll avoid that booth in droves. Fairgoers appreciate warm welcomes and affable banter. It's that simple and no more complicated.
According to Vardy, people are less intimidated around art fairs than they are at individual galleries. They feel like they can approach anybody in any booth and ask whatever they want. So dealers have to be involved, excited, present, and prepared to answer boatloads of questions-- often the same questions, and often uninformed-- over and over and over again; they can't just sit there and ignore people or lose patience. That's the way the game gets played in art fair land and how galleries get new clients. Prospective buyers who aren't familiar with particular galleries, for instance, but who like what they see, tend to whip out their wallets and buy ONLY after they've been engaged and seduced by the gallerists.
Several additional quick pointers for exhibitors:
* Never prejudge based on the way someone looks. Anyone can turn out to be a buyer.
* One of the worst things an exhibitor can do is to sit in the booth with their head buried in a newspaper or magazine. Nobody talks to dealers who look like they're not interested in talking.
* Attitude and endurance are everything (and that goes for the fair organizers too). Participants have to be involved with the process from beginning to end in order to make a fair successful. Sure, those long hours are grueling, but the event only lasts a couple of days-- a quick intense sprint, not a marathon. Keeping that in mind makes the ordeal more bearable.
First-time exhibitors should be aware that repetition is an important part of art fair protocol. Galleries usually have to exhibit at a particular fair at least three years or so in order to get a footing and attract significant numbers of potential buyers. Serious collectors appreciate repeat appearances because not only does being there year after year contribute to building trust, but it also differentiates established committed galleries from here today gone tomorrow dabblers. The truth is that many buyers are reluctant to spend big bucks with galleries they don't know or have never heard of, no matter how scintillating the art, so each successive appearance makes the probability of sales that much greater.
Be aware, though, that art fairs are not only about making sales. One of the primary reasons to exhibit at fairs is to observe and interact with other galleries and network with fellow professionals. Many galleries, says Ilana Vardy, go through entire fairs without ever meeting their neighbors-- not even those next to them or across the way. Knowing what colleagues are up to not only contributes to a gallery owner's knowledge base and overview of the art world, but cultivating relationships with fellow dealers can ultimately lead to joint shows, sales, cross-promotion of artists, and much more. In this sense, art fair participation becomes an integral part of a gallery's advertising budget as well as their marketing budget because a fair provides a superb platform for national and international hobnobbing and PR. For example, if a gallery lands a show for one of their artists at a museum because of who they meet and get along famously with, even though they may sell nothing, that makes it a pretty successful fair. So exhibitors should never judge an outcome based on sales alone or focus solely on selling to the exclusion of all else.
Most importantly, galleries should have realistic expectations. They shouldn't necessarily bank on huge profits, but rather on strengthening relationships and meeting lots of interesting people, including potential buyers, some of whom may take weeks or even months to decide whether or not to buy. Focusing efforts on making slow and steady progress is far better than a strike-it-rich war plan, and frees up galleries to pursue associations and alliances that have the potential to play out profitably over time.
Knowing how to work the crowds at an art fair is certainly important, but so is booth design and strategy. To begin with, less is generally more. A well-curated booth tends to have plenty of white space, strong work, and presents a cohesive cull of art and artists where every piece is there for a reason, hopefully contributing to an overall impact that is greater than the sum of the parts. A unified presentation is essential, plus the gallery has to be able to effectively explain how it all fits together to serious buyers (assuming they like what they see and want to hear more). Keeping it simple, direct and easy to understand-- visually as well as verbally-- is key. There's plenty of time to get deep and complicated with anyone who wants to know more, but wisdom dictates resisting that urge unless asked. It's rarely productive for gallery personnel to leave potential buyers in the dust of with overly complicated explanations.
Now it's time to get strategic. At the opening or entrance to a booth or the point where fairgoers first make eye contact with a booth as they walk the aisles, a gallery should present an artwork that's dramatic, impactful, and will entice people into the space. This "standout" art should be chosen specifically to attract new people, not those who already know the gallery-- new people. A gallery's core clientele will show up regardless of what's on display so they should not waste precious acreage worrying about the regulars. It's drumming up new business that counts.
For example, let's say a gallery specializes in artists who aren't necessarily well-known, somewhat out of the mainstream, or subtle and not all that impressive from a visual perspective. It's important to bring that art to the fair, of course, and to include it in the repertoire, but it's much more important to feature at least one piece of art that makes people stop and stare, that appeals to a wider range of interests, and magnetizes fairgoers into the booth. It doesn't necessarily even have to be that salable, but it should definitely be striking.
Ilana Vardy notes that a gallery can always introduce potential new clients to their specialties later, once they're in the booth, and that's the key-- getting them there in the first place. And if getting them there involves showing art that's somewhat over the top or maybe not even a gallery specialty, so be it. After all, that's why galleries exhibit at art fairs-- to attract new customers, not to maintain old ones, and making that happen means making the booth compelling. Get too esoteric or crammed up with art or have no readily accessible or identifiable visual impression at first glance, and people will walk right past.
Speaking of bad booth design, some galleries think if they show a little bit of everything, that'll maximize their chances of making sales. But what happens is exactly the opposite. A booth hung floor to ceiling with everything a gallery represents looks more like a flea market or second hand store than an art gallery, and not only confuses viewers, but the clutter also tends to devalue the art from an aesthetic perspective. Galleries that want to bring a wide selection should build closet spaces into their booths and keep the stock there. Clean walls and open floor space are most conducive to selling art. Too much art is a visual assault-- it overwhelms people and scares them away.
In addition to carefully planning out the interior of their booth, a gallery must also be aware of the overall layout of the fair and of their positioning in that fair as a whole. They have to know where the majority of the traffic will be coming from and establish a site line, based on the depth and length of the booth, of what wall or floor space people will see first. That's where the most significant impactful art goes and where the easy-access main entrance to the booth should be. This art should have its own walls or pedestals, be positioned to be seen by the maximum amount of traffic, and be the first things people see as they approach the booth (and the sooner they see it, the better). Plus there should be no doubt in anyone's mind which gallery that art belongs to.
There is so much visual stimulation at a fair, a gallery has to do everything possible to carve out their territory, dramatize their space, and persuade people to come inside. Ilana Varney even suggests that a gallery build a scale model of their booth in advance of the fair and experiment with positioning various works of art to see how they'll look-- similar to an architectural model. She adds that one thing a gallery should never do is close themselves off or make entry difficult. Fairgoers tend to avoid booths when they have to contort to get in or feel like they might be trapped once inside.
As for identifying individual works of art, labels are critical. Says Varney, labels shouldn't be too large or compete with the art, but at the same time, should include as much information as possible-- answering all those basic questions that people typically ask-- including the price. Some gallerists think that people interested in particular works of art will ask the price, but that's not necessarily true. Not everyone is comfortable asking prices; some people view it as a commitment to buy the art, while others simply prefer to keep to themselves and not engage in conversations until they're absolutely sure what they want and whether they can afford it. The more details a gallery provides about their art up front, the better. People appreciate a dealers who are generous with information more so than ones who force viewers to ask for every single shred information.
Seeing as we've broached the topic of prices, Vardy warns galleries against artificially inflating them just for the duration of a fair or just so they can give discounts in case someone asks. For one thing, experienced collectors know when someone's jacking up prices and will avoid those galleries (and tell their friends to avoid them as well). Pricing and selling art is not a game. If a gallery is willing to discount a certain amount, they should establish that amount ahead of time, and be clear about what conditions might warrant it. They should also be able to explain clearly and concisely to any customer who asks why a price is what it is and if asked, what flexibility they may or may not have in terms of discounts. Waffling around about money is never good. Established dealers who've been in business for years typically have only one price no matter where they show their art-- especially when they exhibit artists who are represented by multiple galleries.
Regarding sold art, galleries need to know exactly what services a fair provides in terms of packing, shipping, handling and storage, and should be prepared to discuss and explain all storage and transport options to anyone who asks. Having a sale unravel due to shipping concerns is never good. Many dealers solve the problem by taking sold art home with them and then shipping it to buyers from their galleries. Whatever the arrangements, galleries should cover the shipping costs unless buyers request special handling. They should also be prepared to install work at the homes or offices of buyers who live in the area of a fair. Being able to install art locally is a plus, not only in terms of convenience for the buyers, but also because this gives the gallery a chance to schmooze and to see what else those buyers collect... or what their friends might collect.
As for the cost of art fair participation, a gallery should know in advance approximately how much extra expense they'll incur in addition to the price of the booth, such as fees for added walls, storage areas, lights, doors, showcases, labor, shipping, and so on. Read the fair contract in detail before signing it, and know what to expect in terms of total cash outlay. Add-ons should not be a surprise. And don't forget to figure in travel, accommodation, food and other incidental expenses.
For you galleries thinking about exhibiting at art fairs, but who haven't yet taken the plunge, picking the right fair is essential for success and picking the wrong one can be disastrous. Often dealers don't know which fairs are appropriate for their galleries, reports Varney, and choosing wisely takes time and research. To begin with, a gallery owner should visit whatever fair they're considering showing at before they sign on in order to see how it's run, who's in it, and what types of people attend. Talk to participating galleries, preferably ones who've exhibited more than once, and find out how things go. Make sure the management and organizers treat the galleries well and are sensitive to their needs. The people who run a fair have to be concerned about the welfare of their exhibitors or else the fair won't work.
Gallery owners must also make sure a fair is more or less of a match with their art. Dealers should never apply to fairs they know little or nothing about just to get in; make sure they're the right fairs first. For example, a bad match would be a cutting edge gallery setting up at a traditional fair; that simply won't work. And it's not only choosing the right fair but understanding the demographics of that fair. Who attends? Who buys? Where are they from? What do they collect? What types of galleries do really well there? What types of art sell well there? What's the average selling price? These are things that galleries don't necessarily divulge to their contemporaries, but they are things that the producers of a fair may be aware of, especially if they've been producing the fair for a while. At the very least, they know which kinds of galleries tend to thrive and which drop out. So speak with the fair management before signing on as well.
Also make sure a fair is well capitalized, established or respected, or well-publicized in some way, has the potential to attract good numbers of buyers, has an advertising budget and is using it. And find out in advance where and how much they plan to advertise because publicity is critical. A fair that can't get warm bodies through the door is destined to fail (as will its exhibitors).
As for getting into a fair, galleries should research the politics and application or review processes in advance, and do their best to figure out why certain exhibitors get in while others don't. Most fairs have selection committees usually consisting of peers appointed by fair organizers. Galleries should do their best to find out who's on those committees and what the application process entails in order to get a leg up on the competition. Exhibiting at an art fair is serious business and when done right can catapult a gallery from obscurity to stardom.

my mantle and a happy halloween to you.
It's officially here, so Happy Halloween!! I just wanted to share my very last minute mantle, I pulled it together a few days ago with things that I had mostly around the house. There are thrifted milk glass vases, pillar candles from Ikea, smaller candle votives and the bat clings are from the clearance section at Zellers...yay, $1.50 decorating win for me!
Clark, Caden and I spent the evening in our basement last night, cuddled in afghans, little plastic pumpkin candles glowing, watching kids Halloween movies. We really liked Garfield's Halloween Adventure and are on our third viewing this morning! I also managed to finish up their costumes which were really easy but I just couldn't seem to get around to this year. They are white and are in hiding until tonight, my boys are messy boys and I am sure they would not stay clean for long. I"ll be back with trick or treating pictures later this week!! h&k, Mandi

Ecclesiastes Craig G. Bartholomew
Book Details
Series: Baker Commentary on the Old Testament: Wisdom and Psalms
Categories: Ecclesiastes
Categories: Ecclesiastes
Book Information
In this addition to the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament Wisdom and Psalms series, Craig Bartholomew, coauthor of the well-received Drama of Scripture and a leading voice in the call for a renewal of theological biblical interpretation, combines a careful exegetical reading of the book of Ecclesiastes with keen theological insights. Along with helpful translation and commentary, Ecclesiastes considers the theological implications of the text and its literary, historical, and grammatical dimensions. Footnotes deal with many of the technical matters, allowing readers of varying levels of interest and training to read and profit from the commentary and to engage the biblical text at an appropriate level. All serious students of the Bible will find here an accessible commentary that will serve as an excellent resource for their study.

Craig Bartholomew begins his discussion of the message of Ecclesiastes with the claim that "Ecclesiastes is not first a kerygmatic book, but rather one that calls the reader to engage with Qohelet's journey and to enter into the dialogue he evokes" (93). Accordingly, he seeks to lead the reader with him into the often confusing world of Qoheleth and then to make sense of it. Bartholomew's prior work on Ecclesiastes (Reading Ecclesiastes: Old Testament Exegesis and Hermeneutical Theory [AnBib 139; Rome: Pontifical Biblical Institute, 1998]), as well as his role as founder-convener of the decade-long Scripture and Hermeneutics Project, has prepared him to read this enigmatic book in a fresh way. The lengthy introduction (making up more than a fifth of the text) covers the usual topics: title; canonicity; authorship and date; social setting; text; and structure. For the most part, Bartholomew does not depart from conventional critical viewpoints: the book "was regarded as authoritative well before the time of Christ" (19–20); internal and external evidence points to a postexilic origin; the book reflects the influence of various schools of Greek thought wedded to the biblical tradition; and its structure consists of a wide-ranging exploration (1:12–12:7) framed by two narratives (1:1–11 and 12:8–14).

MA Art and Science
Saturday, 28 May 2016 from 11:00 to 16:00 (BST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
To accompany Central Saint Martins Degree Show One, MA Art and Science are hosting a one-day Symposium to explore the future of interdisciplinary practice, with guest speakers Rachel Armstrong, Oron Catts and Eve Mitleton-Kelly (chaired by Rob la Frenais), plus talks by graduating MA Art and Science students.
This event is free but please book to reserve a place.
Saturday 28th May 11:00 - 16:00
Historically artists were often polymaths, but over time - as fine art schools have become academised and deeper specialisms defined - areas that used to be perceived as within the artistic domain are more commonly occupied by scientists and technologists.
As the need continues to grow for multi-faceted solutions to ever-complex problems, there is an increasing call for alternative approaches to enquiry. Artists are encouraged to work alongside other practitioners in order to develop answers to difficult issues.
In this day of talks, activities and discussion we will be asking fundamental questions relating to the future of innovation and knowledge through interdisciplinary practices.
Unfolding Realities Symposium Schedule
10.30: registration
11.00: Welcome (Nathan Cohen, Course Leader MA Art and Science)
11.20: UNFOLDING REALITIES | Talks and discussion by graduating MA Art and Science students (chaired by Heather Barnett, Course Lecturer MA Art and Science):
Panel 1: Stephanie Wong on embodied cognition, Aleksandra Borys on the overview effect and Marta Pinilla on the metaphor of folding.
Panel 2: Julius Colwyn on ecologies of thought, Silvia Krupinska on local nature and Mellissa Fisher with Dr Mark Clements on growth and form.
13.00: Lunch* including Degree Show Viewing (with artists present 13.45-14.30)
14.30: Talks and panel discussion with guest speakers, Rachel Armstrong, Oron Catts and Eve Mitleton-Kelly (chaired by Rob La Frenais, independent curator).

Welcome to ICBMM 2017 l Call for Paper
Rapid development of modern technology needs the support of new material. New material together with information and energy are known as the three pillars of modern science and technology. The birth of new materials will lead rapid development of related industries and technologies. Architecture is one of the examples. The appearance of new building materials not only enhanced the original performance of the materials, such as durability, mechanical properties but also the performance of strength, energy conservation, insulation, waterproof, and appearance. Construction materials is developing towards the pursuit of functional diversity, life-cycle economy and recycling. With the change of living concepts and the demand of the multifarious building function, as the very basic elements of construction, building materials will face plenty of challenges.
2017 International Conference on Building Materials and Materials Engineering (ICBMM 2017) will be held in Lyon, France during September 21-23, 2017. ICBMM 2017 will focus on research hotspot like building materials, semiconducting materials, organic/polymer materials, nano-materials, composite materials, bio-materials and etc. The conference aims to provide opportunities for the delegates to exchange new ideas and application experiences face to face, to establish business or research relations and to find global partners for future collaboration.

The excitement of springtime always brings a little insanity to our neck of the woods, which is the only thing to account for the Quirky Quest I'm giving myself and Hubby this month – growing a veggie garden.
This will be about the fifth time we have tried to grow our own food.
Like I said, spring time insanity; but also the confidence gained from half decent citrus (limes, lemonades, and mandarins) crops this year. We must be getting better.
To be fair to us, we are surrounded by many trees and therefore do not have many spaces that get the required six hours plus of sunlight per day.
I also think there may have been an issue with remembering to water from time to time.
But we're older and wiser now and determined to show our little Goddesses the joys of homegrown crops.
Our efforts so far have not been met with huge enthusiasm.
So why will it work this time?
Recently a number of nearby trees have been cut down, which could help with the sunlight issue.
We're hoping another year older will make us more responsible when it comes to watering.
My biggest hope lies in mythology. I'm not really a believer but at this point, I'll try anything.
So I've installed a Leshy I made years ago to overlook the whole garden. Our veggies are in his hands.
Leshy is a Russian word translated literally as [he] "from the forest".
He is a woodlands spirit from Slavic folklore who fiercely guards the land and animals around him, punishing those who abuse them. (If we forget to water we could be in a lot of hot water!).
Some consider him evil. He's known to abduct children, but he always releases them.
He will lead travellers astray if they invade his territory.
All descriptions make him out to be a mischievous fairy like creature, notorious for shapeshifting and trickery.
He is known as the protector of plants and some people believe if you have one near your plants they will grow better.
Grab a cuppa and read this cute little leshy story from Trickster Tales: Forty Folk Stories From Around the World.
As the veggie garden is directly outside our kitchen window I decided to add a beautiful distraction in case the veggies stay true to past form and, well die. I don't want to see that misery while I'm cooking.
The distraction is a pot stack – five terracotta pots balancing above a larger terracotta pot.
The stack looks like an amazing magic trick but there is a pole in the middle holding the whole thing together. It was tonnes of fun to make.
After selecting our pots (five the same size and the larger one that sits on the ground), and plants, we dug a hole for the thin pole and cemented that into the ground.
Next step was to thread the largest pot over the pole and fill with soil. Then we kept adding the pots, ensuring they were slanting in opposite directions.
Next, we planted a mixture of flowers and herbs. The result? A beautiful distraction.
Preparations for the veggie garden began with laying sugar cane mulch over the plot several months ago to prepare the soil. (That kind of makes me sound like a gardener doesn't it?).
We didn't bother with the traditional little, raised rows this time. They've done nothing to help us in the past.
In fact, we didn't go to much trouble with our garden plan as we're waiting to see if we can actually grow any vegetables successfully. However, if you're thinking about creating your own veggie garden there are some beautiful designs at Better Homes and Gardens.
For great tips on what to plant now visit Gardenate .
So it was just an easy matter of planting the seedlings (we are so NOT up to raising from seeds yet!).
We have planted a variety of lettuces and tomatoes – we have had limited success with these in the past.
Also, we have courageously planted leeks (it said 'easy to grow' on the label), and snow peas.
I'll give you an update on this challenge at the end of the month. Fingers crossed.
In the meantime enjoy this photo of the pretty part of the garden complete with our own "Gaston" the lady beetle. Who can go wrong with spring bulbs?
Have a gleeful week, Tamuria.

A masterpiece of comedy dusted off for our century
Moilere's classic satire stands up well in a new version adapted by Peter Reid
Throw out all the minor characters, also get rid of a fairly major one, and combine two other major characters into a rather different single one; you'd expect such games-playing to create a monstrously insulting parody of a classic. But when you've clearly got respect for the spirit of the original, a bunch of good actors and the games are dictated by the limitations of a stretched budget rather than directorial ego, it can work.
And in the case of Peter Reid's adaptation (he calls it a "version") of Moliere's The Misanthrope (an AC production at the New Theatre in Dublin) it certainly works: close to brilliantly.
The play is arguably even more savage than the author's great anti-religious satire Tartuffe: to be honest and principled, it claims, is so far at odds with society's mores that it gets a man labelled a misanthrope, and can also get him hauled into court for stepping out of line.
Alceste, the misanthrope of the title, is helplessly in love with Celimene, a woman who embodies all the qualities he deplores. And because of those deplorable qualities, she not only leads him by the nose, but she is also adored and courted by every man she meets, from the worthy Philinte through the lovelorn (and rotten) poet Oronte. Cue a mayhem of misunderstandings, deceits, letters exchanged, letters hidden and letters undelivered, as well as a sonnet of dubious quality used in the magistrate's court to prove poor Alceste unfit for polite society due to his freely expressed opinion that IT is what is not fit for society.
Wonderfully comic though it is, The Misanthrope doesn't exactly end happily, which is what gives it its viciously satirical edge.
Celimene discovers that she does indeed love Alceste, but has no intention of giving up town life for him; and he leaves alone for his self-imposed country exile. But at least good-hearted, sensible Philinte comes well out of things, since he is accepted by Celimene's cousin Eliante (the only person around with a tittle of sense.)
Reid has combined two other comic suitors from the original into a new character, a supposed Italian parvenu, Giovanni, whose foreign extravagances take him far with "the ladies" until he is discovered to be merely a valet masquerading as a gentleman and gets sent off with his tail between his legs (a show-stealing performance from Matthew O'Brien).
But under Reid's direction, (he also designs) everyone succeeds with aplomb, Paul Kealyn as an endearingly ponderous Alceste, Sorcha Furlong as Celimene, Bern Deegan as Oronte, Grace Fitzgerald as Eliante and Matt Ryan as Philinte.
It's all satisfyingly comic stuff..... with a punch.

Juan Nieves: Daniel Bard can get back to what he was
FORT MYERS, Fla. — The Red Sox named Daniel Bard as one of their starting pitchers last April 1. A year later, the ramifications of that mistake continue to be felt.
Bard was optioned to Double A Portland on Thursday. The Red Sox had little choice given his poor performance in spring training and continued control issues. Once one of the game's premier set-up men, Bard requested the opportunity to start after the 2011 season and the Red Sox agreed. Since that fateful decision was made, Bard has a 6.53 ERA and a 1.71 WHIP in games he has pitched in spring training, the majors and the minors.
At 27, it's fair to wonder whether his career is in jeopardy.
Pitching coach Juan Nieves still believes Bard can return to prominence as a reliever. But it's going to take time, which is why Bard was sent to Portland and not Triple A Pawtucket.
"Sometimes guys go to Triple A and they think if I get a couple of good starts, a good game, a couple of six, seven good innings in a row, then I'm good. I'm back. No, this a process," Nieves said. "A consistency is going to be very important. Not only from the performance itself but his consistency also with his delivery.
"It's not a demotion. We want him to understand that there is a process."
Nieves said Bard took the news well.
"He knows he's not where he wants to be. But he knows where we're going with it," Nieves said. "The direction is there. Now it's how much work he puts into it and how important it is every day. That's going to be the key."
According to Nieves, Bard is getting there.
"The velocity is back. I think there's more in the tank," he said. "I feel very pleased with the progress. I would have enjoyed the fact of having him in winter ball and starting the process earlier. You get another month and half, two months with him and we should see incredible results because he's on the right track. It's just not happening all at once."
Nieves said he wants to see Bard get more called strikes because he's locating the ball well. The Sox don't need to see precision, but they need to see him more in the strike zone than he has been. The Sox also want to see Bard pitch with confidence and attack hitters.
Nieves believes that all will happen.
"Oh, absolutely," he said. "There is a lot there. If he's healthy, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't come back and be the guy that we always have seen."

The school announced Monday that inside linebackers Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith violated no university policies that would require a suspension. Athletic director Greg McGarity says both players passed drug tests.
Police were called to Patrick's dormitory room shortly after an Oct. 15 loss to Vanderbilt. A resident assistant reported the smell of pot, but no drugs were found and neither player was charged.
Patrick is the Bulldogs' leader with 42 tackles, followed by Smith with 39.
Patrick served a one-game suspension last year after being arrested for marijuana possession.
Coach Kirby Smart says both players are "exemplary leaders" and he's pleased they can put the matter behind them.

On Wednesday, Louisiana's governor signed an executive order aimed that claims to protect transgendered people from being fired, discriminated against or harassed. The order by Gov. John Bel Edwards also covers gay, lesbian, and bisexual individuals and bans state agencies and other departments from discriminating based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
There is, within the edict, an exception for religious organizations who believe that complying with the policy would violate their religious beliefs. The Catholic Church, for example, and other religious organizations contract with the state to provide some education and social services.
"We respect our fellow citizens for their beliefs, but we do not discriminate based on our disagreements. I believe in giving every Louisianan the opportunity to be successful and to thrive in our state," Edwards said in a prepared statement.

"This action will help to solidify Louisiana's current reputation as a welcoming place for business and talent," said Michael Hecht, president and chief executive of Greater New Orleans, an economic development organization.
Edwards, a Democrat, also reneged an order issued last year by former Gov. Bobby Jindal, a Republican, that was designed to protect businesses and nonprofits who oppose same-sex marriage from being legally punished. The "Marriage and Conscience" order from Jindal prohibited state agencies from penalizing businesses and people who act from a "religious belief that marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman."

after I read the first 2 books, I was totally happy, pacing, story, characters, really great read.
The next books did not go down so well... something changed, it was like he wanted to write a fictional and complete history of Westeros with details, lots of details. So the first two books took me maybe 2-3 months to read... the other books I was reading on and off for years. Finally I reached Dance of Dragons, I switched strategy. Now I read all character chapters at once, so I read all Cersei chapters, then I read all Aarya chapters. It's more engaging that way (for me at least).
Now I read all Tyrion chapters and it feels like I climbed a chair to get to the cookie jar, but who will punish me? Nobody, haha, I will eat the whole cookies... I think it took me more time to read the books than for GRRM to write them...
I liked AFOC, yeah it was slower than the previous book, and by nature it was less 'epic', but it was normal given the situation. But ADWD, man, that was slow, slow, slow, secondary characters, secondary characters, setup, setup, setup.
I think I'm currently reading a different ADWD. This weekend, I ignored pretty much all else in favor of reading chapter after exciting chapter. I just love how everything's being setup, how all these pieces are coming together in the North and in Mereen. All these various characters and their circumstances, all on a collision course, but all arriving at different times, some too early, some just in time, some too late. And the consequences are totally not what I was expecting.
The only decision-maker frustrating me right now is Jon Snow. For once I agree with the Queen. He's already made a best effort to try to save the wildlings off the coast by sending seven ships. Now he's added more and more bodies for the enemy to take over, and it's time to know when it's too late and wait at the Wall for the enemy to come to you. Instead he wants to add even more to the enemy ranks. Ugh.
The battle for Winterfell has just been so awesome in this book, just absolutely delicious in its twists and turns.
But the best part of this book from the beginning has been Mereen. For me, this has always been Daenyres' true test. Can she rule in such a contentious place? The insurgency against her. Her own police force having to hide behind masks so their families won't be targeted, and now that she's gone, the masks obscuring both loyal soldiers and traitors alike. At this point, I don't even care what happens to Westeros. I'm much more interested in what happens to Mereen.
I finished Dance with Dragons this morning.
For all the excitement near the end, a couple of events really took the wind out of me. That last chapter of Jon Snow was the first one where I felt he made bad decision after bad decision (and this after a book where he'd been a great Lord Commander of the Watch, and been making excellent decisions), and it culminated in his death in a way that was completely unexpected to me. I hadn't been able to avoid the news that Jon Snow had died on the TV show, so I figured that was coming, but not like this. (Stupid TV show and its stupid spoilers).
The death of Quentin was expected and sad. But overall I wasn't expecting Meereen to be left such a mess by the end of the book. I thought at least some of these conflicts would be resolved somehow. Maybe the war with the Yankai outside the city walls. Or the Sons of the Harpy inside the city. Instead, it was all left hanging, which makes this book feel like much more of a dangling cliff-hanger than the first three books. More than anything, I felt Meereen was the heart of this book, so to leave this particular story unresolved is the only thing that rankles me.
The return of Varis was triumphant and really well timed. I was sitting there going "Noooo, you're undoing all of Cersei's work", when Varis came back and said pretty much the same thing. I actually did a fist pump while reading, I think.
I do love where they left the Battle of Winterfell though. It set things up for a future showdown, but it was still very satisfying, the way it all went down. Very exciting to read, and very eventful despite the snow basically smothering everything. That has got to be the most unique, best paced brilliant depiction of a non-battle battle ever. I loved it.
*Sigh. And now the Ice and Fire withdrawal begins. Should I wait for the next book, or should I start watching the TV show from Episode 1?
I broke down and watched the show. I recently came across a post of George RR Martin's pitch of Song of Ice and Fire to his publisher which convinced me he's never going to finish the books. Here it is: http://watchersonthewall.com/george-r-r-martins-original-plan-game-thrones/
Relevant bit,
As you know, I don't outline my novels. I find that if I know exactly where a book is going, I lose all interest in writing it.
They've shown us where the story is going on the TV show, and he helped write it. So, based on this and his continuous complaining about having to work on the books instead of watching football, I think he's lost all interest in finishing the novels. :(
Wow, that outline is pretty interesting. No wonder his books managed to surprise me so often. His original outline there sounds much closer to what I was expecting when I started reading the series. But something unexpected happens at every turn instead. So maybe that's the secret to writing like that. Write like you want to go one way, then change your mind later and have something different happen instead.
New Alt Shift X youtube video discussing Dany's House of Undying visions
And another one for the Faceless men
This video really shows how badly the show screwed this narrative up compared to the books.
Also, I have no idea when this sample chapter was compiled from apparently a public reading, but it's a sweet, twisted read: https://angrygotfan.com/2016/05/29/the-winds-of-winter-the-forsaken/ Obviously if you want to come into book 6 with no knowledge at all, don't read the chapter, but I found it to be pretty good stuff.
Did anyone buy the new enhanced edition eBook which is exclusively available in iBooks? It has custom art, annotations, interactive character maps, etc. The first book is $8.99.
That does sound cool. But there's no way I'm buying an eBook I can't remove the DRM from.
This is one of those areas of DRM where I've concretely had multiple instances where the storefronts migrated or shut-down or the formats changed & I would have been out of my investments if the DRM weren't gone.
But then, it's the same with Kindle, isn't it? It's DRM as well. Are you not buying any eBooks at all then? Personally, I dislike that they made it exclusive to Apple. I was hoping it will be a free updates to existing customers of GoT eBooks even in Kindle, I know it doesn't make sense, but ugh, I am not sure I want to buy another GoT that I am not going to re-read again.
I've pre-ordered the illustrated edition of Game of Thrones coming out later this month. Yet another something to lug along with me to the book signing next year.
I don't even want to know what this is. I am all for soft copies these days - it's easier to locate them and they don't get old, torn, etc.
Yeah, ever since I dug out some of my 20+ year old books and tried to read them I realized software is the way to go. While I still prefer paper, electronic means not having to store/locate, and no yellowed pages.
I had George R.R. Martin sign my Kindle screen, and now I'm kind of regretting it. It makes things hard to read.
I'm too much of a bibliophile to let go of my books. I've got paperbacks approaching 40yo, stuff I read in the late 70s as an early teenager. . .too much nostalgia wrapped up in them. Some I remember buying, looking them over, the thoughts that led to the decision to use a portion of whatever $$ I had on me to buy them. My great uncle stopped by my dad's store one day in late 1978 and handed me a $10. I promptly walked over a mile to a local bookstore and picked up 4 books, each $2.50, written by some English professor big into philology. Thus was birthed my life as a geek. Those 4 books are sitting on the shelf behind me, bent, worn, torn, yellowed with age, but I'd still probably run through a small fire to save them.
You're not even going to name them, but taunt us instead?!
Based on the
I'm going to guess it's The Lord of the Rings trilogy and either The Hobbit or The Silmarillion.
Ah. I misread and thought it said Philosophy. Well spotted :)
(ps, based on the time period, it'd have to be The Hobbit, as the Silmarillion as new in 1977, so would have cost more then the others?)
Yes, it was the Hobbit and trilogy. Read the Silmarillion the next year.

Patumwan, Thailand (PressExposure) June 03, 2009 -- Chateau de Bangkok has seen plenty of attention from business guests in recent times, with location now one of the top considerations in Bangkok hotels for travelers.
Chateau de Bangkok is perhaps the best-located hotel in Bangkok, with its proximity to an area of Thailand that is bustling and thriving, even in the midst of crisis. The area around Ploenchit Road and Chidlom is to Bangkok what Orchard Road is to Singapore, and Knightsbridge to London.
This boutique Bangkok hotel is close to the Bangkok Metropolitan. Elevated walkways connect the large malls nearby with the two Skytrain stations in walking distance of the hotel, Chidlom and Ploenchit.
Chateau de Bangkok has enjoyed the company of many business guests recently. The Bangkok hotel near the BTS has an international restaurant and bar, as well as in-house stores and a currency exchange. Business guests have been particularly positive about the fitness center, swimming pool and sauna.
Some of Bangkok's finest malls can be found in Chidlom-Ploenchit alongside Chateau de Bangkok: the likes of Gaysorn, Peninsula Plaza, Amarin Plaza and the newly-revamped CentralWorld; CentralWorld is now the largest mall in Southeast Asia. The area in front of this mall is also Bangkokâs official New Year countdown venue. Central Chidlom department store is another highlight, and many embassies are also located close by in Wireless and Rajadamri Roads.
A variety of good restaurants and fine Bangkok serviced apartments can be found down Langsuan Road. The nearby Siam area has high-end shopping at Siam Paragon, Siam Centre and Siam Discovery, while MBK offers bargain shopping.

text: I have done my homework. I have played with both phones. I have read and read and read and watched reviews and everything else and I still can't decide! I have a HTC Hero and am worried about the Evo being buggy and crazy like my HEro has been. There are days when it won't even dial for like a minute and it's a replacement to my other Hero! I was all set on the Evo because when my Hero does work, I like it. The only thing that has worried me is the camera and the GPS. I have a 20 month old and take pics and videos nonstop of him and post them on FB. I use GPS a lot as well. What do you Evo and Epic users think? If there's not that much of a difference I am going with the Evo because it's what I'm used to but that Epic keeps looking better and better. Please be kind...I'm a newbie!


text: The .6 update that is meant to fix the memory card problem pops up on my phone like twice a day. If I download it AND install it, it doesn't take. The same FOTA update is detected again the next day, and the next day, and the next. I don't have any memory card issues. But I'm wondering how to make my rooted phone accept FOTA updates. I'm a n00b. Is this just a limitation of rooted phones? I rooted using this method: How to Root Your HTC Evo 4G! | HTC Evo 4G Hacks! I used this file: Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip

Wednesday – 11 February 2009
We'll be hosting a new type of event tomorrow, at room S0.18 in the social studies. We've been approached by individuals Israelis, and together with individuals from the Friends of Palestine society, we'll have a joint meeting and discussion.
The idea that has been proposed to us is for both sides to approach a series of topics and present them – but taking the role of the other side. Therefore some of us have been looking at materials sent by fellow Israeli students, and we have sent some material on their side, each to be presenting the topic from the other side's point of view.
Given that this has been organised on a very short notice, and to keep things simple for the first meeting, we've selected some uncontroversial topics for this Wednesday- the meaning of the flag of each side, and the significance of Jerusalem in cultural and religious (but not political or in terms of prospects of a solution) terms.
Each side's presentation will be short, and the floor will be open later for discussion. Please join us in this, and help us see how we can expand the idea and process in the future.


text: Hello everybody! I have viewed several topics on this forum and found them to be most helpful, so I decided to register on this magnificent forum of yours. I have a Motorola Droid and love it a bunch. I hope to one day root the phone (when the warranty is gone and all that), and will no doubt use guides on here to do so. I am generally a silly and all around fun guy, and look forward to meeting some of you.

Flooded Farmers at a Loss in Iowa
The floods in the Midwest have killed nearly 3 million acres of corn and soy bean crops in Iowa. David Miller, a farmer and economist with the Iowa Farm Bureau, talks with NPR's Scott Simon about how the flood is affecting his crops, and what this means for the food supply.
SCOTT SIMON, host:
The flooding has wiped out nearly 3 million acres of corn and soybean farms in Iowa and damaged as much as another million acres. David Miller is a corn and soybean farmer and the director of research and commodity services for the Iowa Farm Bureau. He joins us from his home in Ankeny. Mr. Miller, thanks so much for being with us.
Mr. DAVID MILLER (Farmer; Director of Research and Commodity Services, Iowa Farm Bureau): Well glad to be here.
SIMON: And tell us about your own situation, if you could.
Mr. MILLER: Well on my farm, I'm the owner of kind of a mid-sized farm in Iowa. There's about 400 acres in the farm, about 330 crop acres. At the moment, about 150 of those are under anywhere from a couple inches of water to about four feet of water, depending on where you're at on the farm.
SIMON: And does that wipe you out?
Mr. MILLER: Well on those crop acres, the water has killed what's there. If the water would recede, we would probably have an opportunity to replant, as long as it happens within the next two weeks. There is, in most of Southern Iowa at least - June 25 is about the latest that you could probably plant corn and have a reasonable chance of it maturing before frost, and probably about July 4 on soybeans.
So the window of replanting those acres is closing fast because it's probably 10 days to two weeks once the water goes away, before its dry enough to put machinery on that land.
SIMON: And help us understand that 3 million acres figure. What percentage of that is of the available land?
Mr. MILLER: Well, Iowa has about 25 million tillable acres, acres where you would grow corn and soybeans. So the 3 million acres, and really there's probably closer to 4 million when you consider what - it's not flooded, but it's been damaged by just excessive rains, that's about 15-16 percent of the total croppable land in Iowa, probably makes up one to about two percent of the U.S. corn supply and probably three percent of the soybean supply.
SIMON: This is one of those occasions when we get reminded of how central corn is in so many products, not just diet: livestock feed, processed food, for that matter ethanol and other commodities as well. Do you expect prices to rise considerably?
Mr. MILLER: It could, and a lot of that will depend on what happens over the next two weeks relative to the ability to replant and mitigate some of the loss. If the losses stand where they're at, then it probably will have some additional impact.
The markets have already reacted somewhat to it. Corn prices have risen about $1.50 a bushel in the last two weeks, when the rains continued to come and the waters started rising. Soybean prices have also gone up probably about a dollar, dollar and a half.
So prices have already begun to react. The impacts at the grocery store probably will not be that much in the short run; more likely to see impacts coming through higher meat and dairy products six months to a year from now.
SIMON: Weather clear this morning there, Mr. Miller?
Mr. MILLER: The weather is clear. The sun is shining; the sky is clear. It's the type of day that we need more of probably for several weeks in order to let the waters recede and start recovery.
SIMON: David Miller, director of research and commodity services for the Iowa Farm Bureau. Good luck to you, sir.
Mr. MILLER: Thank you.
