Good-bye Mitchell Hooks (1923 - 2013)
A couple of days ago on Facebook, Dan Zimmer of Illustration Magazine shared some sad news: last weekend, Mitchell Hooks passed away.
How particularly strange to hear Mitch was gone, having just featured his work once again only a couple of weeks ago right here on the TI blog. I had some wonderful phone conversations with Mitch and, in 2010, I actually got to meet him, talk with him in person over a long lunch at the Society of Illustrators and shake the hand of one of my illustration idols. I will always cherish those memories. Mitchell Hooks was a spectacularly talented artist and a warm, humble and generous person.
The illustration at the top was published in Redbook magazine in July 1961. The one immediately below in April '61.
Here are a few more pieces by Mitchell that I haven't previously presented. These are from Reader's Digest Condensed Books, circa 1980.
In Mitchell's memory, I'm re-presenting Part 1 of my interview from 2008...
Mitchell Hooks: "I always drew..."
(First presented on Tuesday, September 09, 2008)
Mitchell Hooks was born in 1923 in Detroit. He didn't come from a particularly artistic family, though he did have an uncle whom he describes as 'quite a good self-taught artist' who encouraged his interest in art. Says Mitch, "I always drew."
His earliest influences were the adventure strips in the newspaper, especially Alex Raymond's Flash Gordon, Jungle Jim and Secret Agent X-9. "As a boy, I followed Raymond's work avidly," chuckles the artist today, "even to the point of clipping out the strips and keeping them in a scrapbook. I'd meticulously cut out the figures of Flash, Dale and Dr. Zarkov."
"I've always had an affinity for anatomical drawing and, in retrospect, I can attribute my abilities to the long hours spent studying Raymond's beautiful drawings."
Mitch attended CAS Technical High School in Detroit, "A marvelous school," that had been created for those city kids who really had no hope of ever attending college."The way we grew up," says Mitch, "we didn't even know how to spell 'college'."
"CAS was loaded with professional illustrators, designers and such, just great people, who taught us everything we needed to know to get a job in the profession."
"I was thrown in with a bunch of kids who were really enthusiastic about illustration. We all knew what was going on out there in the magazines... knew about Al Parker and the Cooper guys and all that, and CAS prepared us to go out in the field - and we did - we all went out and got jobs in the field, straight out of high school!"
"CAS was where I made my big leap from Alex Raymond to wanting to be a professional illustrator, and I knew I wanted to be in New York."
When Mitch graduated from CAS he first found a job at General Motors. The war was on, GM had been converted to supplying the American army with equipment, and Mitch was assigned to take two dimensional blueprints and convert them to three dimensional drawings. "It was important work," says Mitch, "and I hated it."
Hated it so much that just a couple of years later, when he joined the army, he made sure they knew nothing about his artistic abilities. "I was so afraid that they'd assign me to do more of those drawings that I intentionally flunked any tests that might reveal my skills." Mitch decided he's rather risk the shooting war than get stuck doing any more dreaded blueprint drawings! He became an infantryman in 1944 - and served as a second lieutenant with the U.S. occupation forces in Germany after the war ended.
Upon his return to the States, he made his way to New York. He had freelanced in Detroit for a year or so after leaving GM, and had diligently prepared a portfolio of samples he hoped would land him the sort of work he wanted to do. A previous visit to the the Big Apple before his army service had resulted in an opportunity with a minor studio called T.J. Peters. "Peters had a small bullpen of artists and I got on staff there," says Mitch. But all the while he was looking for something bigger, and that came in the form of freelance work done on the side for Al Chaite.
Chaite would go on to form, with artist Harry Fredman, one of the major players in the New York commercial art scene: the high-profile Fredman/Chaite Studios... but for now he was managing a smaller operation called Trager-Phillips. Mitch, while working at Peters, found plenty of freelance opportunities with Trager-Phillips, and "it caused a small conflict with my boss at T.J. Peters."
You can read what became of that conflict - and much, much more - in the remaining three instalments of my 2008 interview with Mitchell Hooks:
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
* Tomorrow I'll present a raft of illustrations by Mitchell from Reader's Digest Condensed Books.
*More art in my Mitchell Hooks Flickr set.

Damn...I didn't know that. He was easily one of my favorites.ReplyDelete
That's a shame. I always enjoyed Hooks' work-- always fun and interesting to look at. My condolences to his family.ReplyDelete
Thanks for posting these new images and the interview.I loved seeing his paperback cover art.Interesting that Raymond was an influence,just like with Bama and Harry Borgman.ReplyDelete

He was cool and funny at the same time! Hihi..
gorgeous! everything of him
I NEED this tshirt!
ginsberg..king of prague :) that jacket is unusually cool !
Not to mention the botanical jacket and the braids!!!!!
I like the outfit- with all these garments like this jacket, I always wonder how many times the subject wears them before they get sent to the back of the closet... Jorge from WPB
Does anyone know who designed his jacket?
I find him kind of frightening
Excellent jacket.
wow wow wow... I love the shirt!! THe whole looks -> 9/10!!
Love that t-shirt!
i like this a lot... i would definitely wear this or be inspired by it....
check out my blog:
I love this blazer!!!!
This comment has been removed by the author.
what a Tee. dope!
Awesome outfit... loveee the jacket!
- Charlotte. =].
Ah fabulous jacket!
Funky fun. I would love to see his mind streaming.
yea and talk about that jacket!! the femininity of the jacket counters the sordidity of the t- shirt
wow, that jacket is beyond cool!
this is fashion! humor and quirk. he looks so fab.
Oooooooooh this is perfect - one of the best looks I've seen in a while. The shirt + blazer = pure love. Also love his beard and braids - unusual look, but it so works on him! Now I'm curious about his shoes!
Very, very nice jacket!
Goddamn, is he cool.
A crazy blazer (a crazer?)...I love the combo of images--so oddball!
this gentleman is genius! striking individual.
The blazer is so unique and I like how he individualizes the outfit further by adding the tee!
Takes a certain amount of gumption to even purchase this blazer. I envy this person.
I wonder what Mr. Ginsberg would think of this t...I find it super-creepy, but surely the Buddhist in the man himself would love it! (Gorgeous blazer and braids, though.)
That tee is a Howl.
Ginsberg... great poet and not so great founding member of NAMBLA.
Can't help but wonder which aspect of Ginsberg this dude is into.
I love the contrast between the floral-y jacket and the ..scary t-shirt and how his beard matches the one on the tee.
cool I want that Ginsburg tee! His one of my icons!!
now that's what i'm talking about! ;)
Fab. Jacket.
nice look, love his jacket!
That is the coolest shirt I have ever seen.
Absolutely wonderful~! Yes! Yes! Yes!
I've got to figure out how to get to Florence~!
LOVE the Jacket....looks like a summer dream!
I love this, he is so completely cool -- wish I knew what he chose for footwear too.
one word: ballsy. I love him.
this look is fierce!
Who is Ginsberg?
Ill T. I want one.
I'll hop a train to Florence for it.
Nice outer shirt. The bearded skull is too weird. I prefer my t-shirt of Che Guevara with the red slash over his face.
"I wonder what Mr. Ginsberg would think of this t.."
He would probably be annoyed that his face has been slapped on a tshirt to be sold as a commodity fashion statement and sold in malls.
Does anyone know where to buy this shirt?
That jacket is AMAZING! Its very Summer-ish, daring yet stylish. Great look!
I met Ginsberg once. I think he'd be amused.
what an amazing jacket... do you think he made it? crazy fabric... really different...
wow. the coolest jacket ever!
what a cool dude
the t-shirt is nice, but the jacket is really lovely.
I am intrigued...and a little scared
Wow, I just looove the jacket!!!
Ginsberg once went to the Amazon to experience "Yajé", a spirit medicine also known as "Ayahuasca" or "The vine of the dead". Based on that, and the fact he was a poet, I think adds to the intentional humour (and poetic nature) of the shirt.
haha a Ginsberg Tee. I like his sense of humour.
And the jacket is simply rad!
Everything about this is awesome...
Liza @ www.hardrainlight.blogspot.com
Dang! I wish more older men dressed as imaginatively as this man; the feminine/masculine play of beard and braids, flower print and black denim, as well as the layers of questions raised by the Ginsberg image make this man interesting, sexy and edge-y -- not usual for men his age (outside the arts communities) and even in the arts world, he stands out.
Sart, your images of stylish men are a treat.
Love the fruity jacket! I knew Ginsberg. Best likeness of him I've seen yet.
Sart, I like most of your photos and most of the adventurous style I see in them. This one just makes me go, "Oh, come on." It's just silly. Sorry.
WOW!!! This is the greatest jacket I've seen in a long time!!! Excellent!
Forget the T....the jacket!!!!
- 21arrondissement.blogspot.com
that tee is sick. i saw the whole series of it on a mag once, with other icons and thought it was the coolest shirt ever. and on him, its just perfect!
scary and horrible, imho
Refreshing. Someone doing their own thing. Putting it out there and wearing their clothes with confidence. I don't think he's a lawyer... said the bearded skeleton "I won't wear the shirt" said the fashionista skeleton "only with a prada skirt".
Thanks to the Sartorialist for one of the best pictures of me... waow so much enthousiasm there about the tee and the jacket.
TEE can be bought at TOKYO HIPSTER CLUB (Tokyo) and jacket (cotton and silk printed) is from MANDO (tokyo-Japan) which i represent.
more info : http://angelssatori.blogspot.com
blown away by the jacket, it's darn awesome
can't get over this... i think i'd like to be a man today.
You can find t-shirts as Ginsberg at www.deadmeat.it
Like the jacket but LOVE the tee.
the jacket...yes
the tee... yes
But the HAIR,§§,,?
Triple YES!
where can i get the T????
Does anybody know where to get this shirt?
The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to,make sure everything fits. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the curves of your bodyOnline T-Shirt Shop
nice T-shirt
Funny Tees Shirts
The t-shirt!! OMG That t-shirt!! I need that t-shirt!!!
I like the outfit- with all these garments like this jacket
Cheap Funny Shirts
I've been trying to find a place online to buy this amazing Ginsberg skull t-shirt, with no luck. Can't seem to find a website for Tokyo Hipsters Club. If anyone can locate where to get this online and post a link here, I would be greatly appreciative.

Edited and introduced with notes by Don Share, Bunting's Persia collects Basil Bunting's translations from Persian poetry by Rudaki, Ferdowsi, Manuchehri, Sa'di, Hafiz, and Obaid-e Zakani, including previously unpublished translations. Bunting, who is widely regarded as one of the most important British poets of the twentieth century, proved unusual in his deep and abiding interest in Middle Eastern culture. Here, he renders poetry of remarkable tonal and emotional range in characteristically clear and resolute language.
"Reading Bunting's translations, I am struck again by how fresh and strong they are, how vivid in their feeling, and how he digs into the spirit of the originals—a kind of passionate excavation work."—Dick Davis, translator of The Shahnameh: The Persian Book of Kings

Cart is empty
A number of years ago I was going to work a walk around close up show and needed to carry with me a number of different props and decks of cards. I also wanted to identify myself as an entertainer and not one of the guests who were going to be dressed in black tie and tux. I went to my seamstress and asked her if she could make me a vest out of the material that I used for ties. I also told her that I needed many different pockets that could hold different coin tricks, decks of cards and small close-up effects.
She got to work, measured me and produced a beautiful vest with fourteen pockets inside and four pockets on the outside. It became so easy for me to work that evening that I decided to produce the vests and offer them to the magic community. We have a number of different patterns available. All are lined with a black satin type material.

The Wolfram Solution for
Optimize systems of symbolically defined lenses and mirrors, test optical components with built-in image processing or data analysis functions, and calculate complex ray-tracing models.
The Wolfram optics solution integrates these capabilities with built-in special functions, advanced differential equation solvers, and the most automated and reliable computation, development, and deployment environment available.
Wolfram technologies include thousands of built-in functions and curated data on many topics that let you:
- Quickly simulate behavior of lenses, mirrors, and other optical components
- Design solar concentrators, lasers, camera lenses, and more
- Animate graphics to see how results change while adjusting optical components
- Create interactive interfaces for designing optical systems or performing analyses
- Design, test, and interact with light scattering instruments
- Use high-powered mathematics to optimize designs, reducing research time and expense
- Perform optical modeling for microlithography or optimize microscopy instrumentation
- Visualize interferograms to test mirrors and lenses
- Optimize pulse formation and control in new laser designs
- Develop new imaging techniques for research in a variety of scientific or medical fields
In addition, the application package Optica offers a ray-tracing engine and a searchable component database of more than 6,800 commercial optical parts, all fully integrated.
Does your current tool set have these advantages?
Create interactive tools for designing optical systems, curve fitting, or data analysis that provide visual feedback to make debugging and testing innovative instrumentation easier
Code V and Zemax do not offer custom interactive tools
Get accurate results in optical model calculations with fully automated precision control and arbitrary-precision arithmetic
Matlab and other systems relying on machine arithmetic can show critical errors due to numerical accuracy failure
Rapidly prototype new algorithms more quickly than in other software by choosing from procedural, functional, and rule-based programming paradigms as desired
Code V and Zemax use a procedural language
Import or acquire data, analyze it, and deliver results in one document instead of across several applications
Unique to Wolfram technologies
Highly optimized superfunctions analyze your equations and automatically select the right algorithms to get accurate results quickly—sometimes switching mid-calculation for further optimization
Other computation systems make you analyze your equations manually to determine which function to apply—for example, where in the Wolfram Language you use NDSolve, in Matlab you must correctly choose among ode45, ode23, ode113, ode15s, bvp4c, pdepe, and so on, or risk wrong answers

Versatility on the court and overall character highlight each of the four signees
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 18, 2013) – First-year ETSU head coach Brittney Ezell announced Monday the signing of Kaylee Barnard (Orlando, Fla.), Shomari Kendrick (Lexington, Ky.), Mendy McNeese (Greeneville, Tenn.) and Malloree Schurr (Montgomery, Texas) to National Letters of Intent for the 2014-15 season.
"Our coaching staff is honored and elated to announce the signing of four new Buccaneers to the ETSU basketball family," said Ezell. "All four of these young women possess the type of character, work ethic and competitive spirit that makes them ideal fits for our program.
Barnard, a 5-foot-8 guard from University High School in Orlando, Fla., comes to ETSU after averaging 14.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in a limited 2012-13 season. Prior to the 2012-13 campaign, the basketball and volleyball letterwinner was named Preseason First-Team All-Metro East before playing in only four games that season due to injury.
Accomplished on the court, Barnard also proves her value in the classroom. Carrying a 3.81 cumulative grade point average (GPA) and having membership in both the National Honor Society and the mathematics honor society (Mu Alpha Theta), the daughter of Math teacher and basketball coach Jason Barnard embodies the true essence of a student-athlete.
"Kaylee has worked extremely hard to achieve this goal and all of us here at UHS could not be happier," said Barnard. "Her dedication and desire, both on and off the court, directly correlates to this amazing opportunity to become a part of ETSU women's basketball."
Ezell notes Barnard's on-the-court versatility and intangibles as early indicators of the success she can have at the collegiate level.
"Kaylee Barnard is a competitor and a fighter," said Ezell. "As the daughter of a coach, Kaylee has an incredible grasp on the intricacies of the game and has put in countless hours of sweat equity in developing her game. She is another of our signees that can play multiple positions and will be a great addition to the program's culture as we continue with our process of progress."
Kendrick, a 6-foot-3 center from Lexington, Ky. and Pensacola State College in Pensacola, Fla., arrives as a Buccaneer after averaging 9.1 points and 8.6 rebounds in 24 games in 2012-13, while also shooting 48 percent from the field for the Eagles. Following the 2012-13 campaign, Kendrick was named a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) all-star and was a second-team All-Panhandle Conference selection.
Kendrick's head coach at Pensacola, Leah Drury, commented on the development the center has shown since arriving on campus.
"It has truly been an honor to coach Shomari and watch her grow over the past two years," said Drury. "She has worked really hard to improve her game and establish herself as one of the top players in our conference. I am proud of how much she has already accomplished and know that she will greatly impact the Buccaneers of East Tennessee State."
Ezell is excited about the mixture of talents Kendrick holds and the quality of coaching she has already received at the junior college level.
"It is rare to find a post player that possesses such an incredible combination of power, skill and sheer effort, but we believe that we have found it in Shomari," said Ezell. "She is a top 100, nationally-ranked junior college recruit and is playing at one of the premier junior college programs in the country under the direction of coach Leah Drury. We believe that Shomari will bring a needed strength to our program on and off the floor."
McNeese, a 5-foot-6 guard from Greeneville, Tenn. and North Greene High School, becomes a member of the Blue and Gold after averaging 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game in 2012-13. The all-state team member and 2013 Greene County Player of the Year also finished her junior season at North Greene with 1,409 career points and helped lead the Huskies to a district championship.
Off the court, McNeese is a Tennessee Scholar and President of the National Honor Society at North Greene, among many other accomplishments.
McNeese caught Ezell's attention long ago and the first-year head coach is glad to keep the Greeneville native in east Tennessee.
"I have been a Mendy McNeese fan since seeing her at the Tennessee state tournament as a freshman," said Ezell. "She is the ultimate competitor and a natural leader. Mendy has long dreamed of being a Division I basketball player and I can only imagine how incredible it will be for her to live out her dream only a stone's throw away from her hometown of Greeneville. We are excited to keep her in the east Tennessee region and we look forward to what she will do at the collegiate level."
Schurr, a 5-foot-10 guard from Montgomery, Texas and Montgomery High School, comes to ETSU after averaging 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists per game during the 2012-13 season. A letterwinner throughout her high school career in both basketball and softball, the native Texan was also named county Offensive Player of the Year and was first-team all-region as a junior at Montgomery.
In the classroom, Schurr has been named to the district all-academic team three times as well as owning membership in the National Honor Society.
Schurr's head coach at Montgomery, Stacey Blalock, described the complete package that Schurr possesses as both a student-athlete and as a person.
"Malloree is a dedicated and determined athlete that works extremely hard," said Blalock. "She is a competitor that fights to the end and is a coach's dream to have in the program. We are very blessed to have her in our lives!"
Ezell commented on Schurr grabbing the attention of the ETSU coaching staff early on in the evaluation process and the potential she has that can help the Bucs.
"We targeted Malloree early in the summer evaluation period," said Ezell. "Her athleticism and competiveness on the glass jumped out to our staff immediately. Coupled with that was her ability to score and defend from all five positions. Mal is extremely versatile and has yet to scratch the surface of her potential. Aside from her natural athleticism, what makes Malloree even more valuable is the fact that she places a high value on being a good teammate and is remarkably selfless."
"Overall, each of the young women we have now welcomed into our family share in the core values of our program and understand the incredible tradition that surrounds ETSU women's basketball. They believe in the culture that we are developing and have the collective capabilities to make an immediate impact in all facets of our program."

Holy unwed mothers!

Favorite Part of Jim Carrey Online?
We are always interested in hearing what you think of JCO or come with suggestions for new site features.
KCT8t80 had a really good idea.
This can't be a representative sample because it excludes those who just check out the site and not the forums.
Your results are indicative of that.
"When in doubt, tell the truth."
Mark Twain
I really like the whole site but the most I like the forum...
Sometime I can think that the forum is comming so directly as say...
but I also like it that way i and I like all the pistures and the way that the site is created and I enjoy the videos and clips.....
I think they have dona great job with the site and I like it very much.. I will recomend this site to all my friends and tell them how wonderful it is to meet so may wonderful people and have a really good time and talk about Jim Carrey and all his funny stuffs
"And thats the way the cookie crumbles"
I'd have to say the forum as well! :)
My favourite part of JCO is definitely the forum as well! Sure it's very nice to check out videos, news and pictures of Jim as well! But corresponding with diffrent Jim-fans; nothing beats that really!! Also I'm definitely not an obsessed fan who has to watch something that Jim has done every day or anything!
To say it short; corresponding with other fans gives more of a family-feeling to it!
~ "Compassion is the currency that leads to true wealth"~ / Jim Carrey
Besides the forum, I like the video clips section. If it were updated more often, I would definitely visit it more often. I would love to see that section expanded, personally... perhaps with things like his A&E Biography, interview with Barbara Walters, or any other interviews or guest appearances of any kind that aren't available on DVD... there's so much I haven't seen that I'm dying to see!! I probably haven't even named the best stuff out there...
"I don't care if people think I'm an overactor. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter." -- Jim Carrey
My favourite part of JCO is the forum and pictures!!!!
I love this forum and this site
kisses =*****
My name is Andressa, i am brazilian and i don't know speak english so much, but i love Jim Carrey and this forum... i wait to know various friends here!!!
I don't know if i write correct english xD
Re: I'd have to say the forum as well! :)
I agree with you on that whole heartedly....and on a personal level, when I needed a kind hearted family I found one here.....I'm sure Jim would love the forum the best too.
Nice sig line cable girl
Great Idea!! It would be so cool.

Forty signs of rain
by Kim Stanley Robinson
Bantam Books
New York
Written in English.
About the Book
The bestselling author of the classic Mars trilogy and The Years of Rice and Salt returns with a riveting new trilogy of cutting-edge science, international politics, and the real-life ramifications of global warming as they are played out in our nation's capital--and in the daily lives of those at the center of the action. Hauntingly realistic, here is a novel of the near future that is inspired by scientific facts already making headlines.When the Arctic ice pack was first measured in the 1950s, it averaged thirty feet thick in midwinter. By the end of the century it was down to fifteen. One August the ice broke. The next year the breakup started in July. The third year it began in May. That was last year.It's an increasingly steamy summer in the nation's capital as Senate environmental staffer Charlie Quibler cares for his young son and deals with the frustrating politics of global warming. Charlie must find a way to get a skeptical administration to act before it's too late--and his progeny find themselves living in Swamp World. But the political climate poses almost as great a challenge as the environmental crisis when it comes to putting the public good ahead of private gain. While Charlie struggles to play politics, his wife, Anna, takes a more rational approach to the looming crisis in her work at the National Science Foundation. There a proposal has come in for a revolutionary process that could solve the problem of global warming--if it can be recognized in time. But when a race to control the budding technology begins, the stakes only get higher. As these everyday heroes fight to align the awesome forces of nature with the extraordinary march of modern science, they are unaware that fate is about to put an unusual twist on their work--one that will place them at the heart of an unavoidable storm. With style, wit, and rare insight into our past, present, and possible future, this captivating novel propels us into a world on the verge of unprecedented change--in a time quite like our own. Here is Kim Stanley Robinson at his visionary best, offering a gripping cautionary tale of progress--and its price--as only he can tell it.From the Hardcover edition.

I'm running madsonic on a VM inside freenas. When I shut down freenas (e.g. to upgrade it), it kills the VM, as you'd expect. Pretty regularly though, it doesn't come back up, due to db errors.
So question 1: what's the approved way to shut down madsonic before rebooting its machine?
And question 2: is there a more robust database I can use with madsonic that might be resistant to this kind of corruption?
(The corruption isn't always the same; see my previous "bug report" for one such.)

Usually we hear about fusions in various domains, but an amalgamation like this coming out of the bloom is outright surprising! It is a case where politics meets technology and this group of fans from India have just managed something extraordinary and different from the current trend.
Talk about launching an independent group's own products in a remarkable fashion! No leaks presented, no teasers dished out and not even a small sight of any rumor. And guess what, an independent body supporting the Chief Minister of Gujarat state in India, Mr. Narendra Modi have marked their presence in the Indian Smartphone market by carving a name for themselves by announcing "Narendra Modi" branded products for the Indian consumers. Hence, the suffix "NaMo" to the devices!
Such a development is not very popular or do not occurs with regularity and this unveiling of products can be considered as a mechanism by which technology can be used as a catalyst to attract and captivate the followers for support in political activities.

February 2011
23 February 2011
Have you been reading our Patient of the Week stories and ever wondered how these amazing animals are doing in their longer term recovery? We will endeavour to let you know about the progress of some of these precious animals.
Sun the Echidna Puggle
During the recent floods in Queensland, Sun a juvenile echidna (puggle) was rescued from the rough surf at Wurtulla Beach on the Sunshine Coast.
Sun had been washed out of his burrow by the rising, fast flowing waters of Currimundi Creek and carried down to the ocean. Sun was close to drowning when fortunately a good samaritan plucked him from the waves and placed a call through to the Australia Zoo Rescue Unit.
The team quickly responded bringing an exhausted Sun into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital for veterinary treatment. Dr Claude examined Sun, x-rays revealed he was suffering from bloat after swallowing lots of air, but fortunately he didn't have any fractured bones. Sun was shedding quills and his little body was weak after fighting to stay afloat for so long, he was also suffering from shock.
After his initial stay in the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital's Intensive Care Unit, Sun being a juvenile, was sent to an experienced echidna rehabilitator for further care.
Carer Karen reports Sun is now doing very well; he is putting on weight and loves his meals of special echidna milk formula. The highlight of Sun's day is going for a short walk out into the garden; followed by scratching and digging around in the leaf litter. Carer Karen said Sun will be in care for roughly another two months until he is old enough to be released back to the wild.
Call the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital on 1300 369 652 for all wildlife emergencies.

Moore picks up 12th win as Rays down White Sox
ST. PETERSBURG -- On a night the Rays turned back the clock by wearing 1970s-era uniforms, starting pitcher Matt Moore went back in time as well.
Not as far as the Rays' in-game entertainment staff did when they trotted out a parody of "The Gong Show." Moore only had to go back to mid-May.View Full Game Coverage
ST. PETERSBURG -- On a night the Rays turned back the clock by wearing 1970s-era uniforms, starting pitcher Matt Moore went back in time as well.
Not as far as the Rays' in-game entertainment staff did when they trotted out a parody of "The Gong Show." Moore only had to go back to mid-May.View Full Game Coverage
Moore returned to early-season form Saturday, scattering five hits over 6 1/3 innings to help the Rays shut out the White Sox, 3-0. The Rays have now won seven of their last eight games and 10 of their last 13.
Moore's 12 wins give him the second most in the American League, but he didn't hear his name called when All-Star rosters were announced shortly before first pitch.
Had Moore not lost three straight starts at the beginning of June, things might be different.
"We're all subject to peoples' opinions and by no means do I feel right taking away from anyone who did make the team," Moore said. "I didn't have a goal to make the All-Star team at the beginning of the season. If I hadn't had that rough streak, I'm sure I could have had a chance."
While Moore would not make his own case for having an All-Star-worthy first half, others in the clubhouse took the baton.
Moore could make his way to the roster if the Midsummer Classic interferes with selected starting pitchers' schedules.
"To me, he's an All-Star-caliber pitcher, and we wouldn't be eight games above .500 without him, that's for sure," outfielder Sam Fuld said.
Opposite Moore on Saturday was Chicago's Chris Sale, who was named to the American League All-Star roster. Sale allowed just two earned runs (three total) over seven innings, but he still recorded his sixth straight loss.
"You can't expect him to blank everybody," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.
The Rays nicked Sale in the bottom of the second inning when Yunel Escobar led off with a single. An error by White Sox third baseman Conor Gillaspie brought up designated hitter Luke Scott, who laced an RBI double to right field.
Left-handed hitters were hitting just .107 off Sale entering Saturday, and Scott's double was the first extra-base hit Sale surrendered to a lefty this season.
"You want to make sure you take advantage of every situation where you can drive in a run because it's going to be slim pickings for the night, and it was," Scott said.
The White Sox looked prepared to counter in the top of the third when Moore threw eight straight balls, hitting Alejandro De Aza and walking Alexei Ramirez in the process.
A wild pitch put both runners in scoring position, but Moore was bailed out by his two-time Gold Glove third baseman Evan Longoria when he snared Alex Rios' line drive and dove to third base to double off De Aza
"How strange is this game?" Rays manager Joe Maddon wondered. "You can make the argument that had we not thrown the wild pitch, there would not have been a double play had the same ball been hit. It's just awkward how this thing works out. I don't know. The world changed the moment the wild pitch was thrown. That's probably a good sign from somewhere."
The Rays posted another run in the sixth inning when Wil Myers led off the inning with a single, Scott was hit by a pitch and Fuld lined a single up the middle to score Myers.
Ironically, Scott and Fuld, the only left-handed bats in the lineup, had two of the three RBIs against Sale.
"If you look at his numbers, it doesn't inspire confidence," Fuld said. "Unfortunately, I did look at those numbers before the game. I've faced him before. In some ways, you just simplify your approach and shorten up with a guy who has outstanding stuff like that.
With the win, the Rays guaranteed their fourth straight series win, helped in large part by their starting pitchers falling into a rhythm.
"We're going to need that from them," Fuld said. "It seems to be coming together and it's fun to watch."
Moore is just one component, although a vital one, in a starting rotation that recently received a boost with the return of David Price. Jeremy Hellickson has also settled down and has won his last four starts.

Medway, MA — John Aglialoro, Cybex International chairman and CEO, has reason to be pleased. The company's net sales for the first quarter of 2008 beat analysts' expectations of $38.7 million, coming in instead at $39.8 million, the company announced last month. That was a 15 percent increase from the $34.7 million in the same period last year.
A 13 percent increase in cardio sales, an 18 percent increase in strength sales and a 6 percent increase in other revenues for the quarter drove the increased sales, according to Cybex.
Net income for the quarter was $1.3 million compared to net income of $1.1 million in the first quarter of last year.
"Current U.S. and world economic conditions likely will make our corporate goal of double-digit growth in sales and earnings more challenging in the short-term," Aglialoro said in a statement from the company. "We will closely monitor sales activity and will respond quickly on the cost side if economic conditions produce a slowing of our rate of growth over the next several quarters. For the longer term, we remain confident that our pipeline of new products and our strategy of developing new markets will continue to be important drivers in promoting strong sales and earnings growth."
The Medway, MA-based company will launch a new strength line and the next generation of the commercial Total Body Arc Trainer in late 2008. Cybex has a multi-gym in development along with two new commercial bike models that it will sell at moderate price points, Aglialoro says.
Not all was rosy, however. The company had gross margin declines of 160 basis points to 35.6 percent of sales. The gross margins fell because of higher warranty costs, a shift in the product mix by the company and higher costs to ship equipment, according to the company.

They are here- 2014 calendar panels! To be honest I had them at SeptemberHouse on Etsy and the SeptemberHouse Webstore last week but it was such a crazy week that I didn't have time to stop by over here and chat about it. Here is the newest batch for the newest year.
I always like to have a very basic 'blank canvas' version so people have lots and lots of creative options and can really make these their own. So, this year I have three color options: cadet blue, moss green and taupe all with grey text for the dates. They are blank at the top so a pattern can be added. Personally, I have my eyes on this succulent pattern from urban threads - I think it would look awesome on this! I also have some mixed media designs floating around in my head that I might try.
The second design has a pre-printed pattern so there is no need to decide upon or transfer any embroidery patterns - just start stitching! I have these in three colors: poppy red, amethyst and jade. As you can see I am still working on mine. I wanted to go really heavy with the stitching so it's taking me a bit longer. I like how it's coming along so far though!
Hopefully others will have as much fun with these as I have. It really is something I look forward to every year. Happy New Year everyone!

... is a penny earned.
I have to thank my friend Laura for the inspiration for this post. I recently made a cowl using The String Theory Scarf pattern. You knit and purl for ages and then at the end, you purposely drop stitches to create a string scarf. I had posted pictures on facebook and Laura asked me how many stitches did I drop. I did the math. I dropped 7,000 stitches of the 10,500 stitches that this cowl consisted of. Let's say that again- ten thousand, five hundred hand knit stitches.
So next time you're admiring something hand knit for sale, then exclaim at the price, please think of this post. Let's do some more math. Let's pretend we would sell a scarf like this for $60. The yarn cost $10. So now we have $50 left. At 10,500 stitches, you would be paying the knitter .48 cents per stitch. Less than a half a penny a stitch! And usually when one does sell their art or craft, you have to pay the fees (ebay, etsy, craft fairs, etc...) on top of that which means they get less that that half a cent.
Please pay artists what they are asking for. Do not haggle, do not barter. Please support your local artists.

A video obtained by VICE News and uploaded on the 27th of April 2016 shows off spectacular footage taken by the headcam of an Islamic State fighter as he and his comrades fight their way to Peshmerga positions near Naweran while under heavy enemy fire. The attack, which took place North of Mosul, clearly shows the panic and chaos that occur while on the battlefield, a completely different picture from the one presented in the videos published by the Islamic State's media department, which almost exclusively shows well-trained fighters of the Islamic State defeating their opponents without any fear or regard to their own safety.
The footage offers a rare glimpse into the attacks that Peshmerga forces have been facing ever since the fall of Mosul, but now from the perspective of the Islamic State. This video doesn't offer the whole story however, and because this attack has been documented extremely well by both the Islamic State and Peshmerga, we will attempt to break down the footage and images released by both parties and paint a clearer picture of this attack conducted by the Islamic State.
While VICE News claims the footage was taken in March this year, the depicted attack actually occurred in mid December 2015. As the Islamic State's resulting defeat was widely reported on in Iraqi Kurdistan and abroad, it is not entirely clear how the supposed date got mixed up and suddenly ended up being March 2016.
Before going into detail about the actual battle itself, it is important to know the background of similar Islamic State offensives involving the use of armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) conducted North of Mosul. Being the largest city located in the territory currently held by the Islamic State, Mosul is the capital of Wilayat (governorate) Ninawa. When it was overrun by the Islamic State, Mosul was overstocked with weaponry and vehicles intended to be used by the Iraqi Army and Police, which left all of their equipment behind before fleeing the city. While large parts of the huge arsenal left behind around Mosul were quickly distributed over the various fronts the Islamic State was fighting on, including Syria, some of AFVs that remained behind would later form the core of the Islamic State's first armoured formations. Before the establishment of these formations, the use of AFVs by the Islamic State in Iraq was disorganised, and captured tanks would often be destroyed rather than operated simply because they weren't deemed to be of use in the lightning attacks conducted by the Islamic State in Iraq. Only in the past year the limited amount of tanks in the Islamic State's inventory have seen more widespread use in Iraq. While several U.S. M1 Abrams were captured intact, they were all deliberately demolished instead of put to use in offensives.
While these armoured formations were in the process of being set up, many of the vehicles were sent to workshops in Mosul for conversion into weapons platforms adapted to the Islamic State's needs. Several of these vehicles have already been sighted in the past year, including two contraptions based on the BTS-5B armoured recovery vehicle (ARV), an otherwise useless vehicle for the Islamic State. The vehicles used in the December attacks on Peshmerga positions came from the same workshops, and their DIY armour certainly has the same improvisational tone to it as that seen on earlier Islamic State AFVs.
At least three armoured formations are believed to have been set up in Mosul, comprising the 'al-Farouq Armoured Brigade', which can be further divided into the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and possibly more battalions, the 'Shield Battalion', which has most of its vehicles painted in black, and the 'Storming Battalion'. In addition to these three, a fourth formation called the 'Suicide Battalion' also operates a host of up-armoured vehicles as vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (VBIEDs). But contrary to regular VBIED attacks so often used by the Islamic State, the 'Suicide Battalion' usually accompanies either of the three armoured formations as they are sent to the battlefield. VBIEDs of the 'Suicide Battalion' are to clear the way for the following armoured formations and can be seen as the Islamic State's version of air support. During this attack, both the 'Storming Battalion' and the 'Suicide Battalion' took part.
Each battalion has its own seal. For example, the seal seen below is used by the 3rd al-Farouq Armoured Brigade. It reads: ولاية نينوى - الجند (?) لواء الفاروق المدرع الثالث - 'Wilayat Ninawa - Soldiers (?) - al-Farouq Armoured Brigade - 3rd'. The second part of the Shahada: محمد رسول الله - 'Muhammed is Allah's prophet' is seen on the right. This can sometimes be seen on Islamic State operated vehicles and is believed to be applied for decorative purposes only. While the seal is usually applied on vehicles in the form of a sticker, it is sometimes simply painted on vehicles, such as on this up-armoured M1114 (formerly) operated by the 'Storming Battalion'.
While the Islamic State has proved to be more than capable of handling armour in Syria, its use of armoured fighting vehicles in Iraq leaves much to desire. At the core of this failure to properly field AFVs are the armoured formations based in Mosul, which apparently feel so comfortable knowing that every loss can simply be replaced by just another vehicle originally captured at Mosul when the city was overrun, that it keeps sending its AFVs against well-fortified Peshmerga positions to little effect. The first recorded example of such a large scale attack occurred in January 2015 near Shekhan, when several M1114s, Badger ILAVs, a M1117 ASV and the first battle bus took on a fortified Peshmerga position before getting obliterated. This loss did not deter the Islamic State from trying again however, as it would continue to send armoured formations (sometimes consisting of just a single vehicle) to the frontline, resulting in the same outcome every time. As the Peshmerga holds the high ground, and has had nearly two years to fortify their postions, even well-coordinated attacks are unlikely to succeed here, especially after they took delivery of MILAN anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs).
This leads us to the attack depicted in the video released by VICE News, one in the series that ended up resulting in high losses for the Islamic State and literally no gains made. The attack, believed to have taken place on the 16th of December 2015, saw fighters of the Islamic State trying to breach Peshmerga positions on several locations, resulting in the death of at least seventy fighters. More about this offensive can be read here. Although the offensive resulted in failure, the media department of Wilayat Ninawa bravely decided to publish the images shot before and during the offensive anyway. Ironically, these images were uploaded only after the TV channel 'Kurdistan24' had already shown footage of the result of the attack, including the still burning remains of the vehicles after the attack. The photo report released by the Islamic State a day later would show these exact same vehicles still in pristine condition hours before the attack. Nonetheless, the photo report gives us a great insight into the development of the attack and even reveals the names of the fighters involved.
The footage released by VICE News starts at 0:46, when the cameraman (Abu Ridhwan) records the final words of a suicide bomber, a member of the 'Suicide Battalion', before he attempts to blow himself up. He is accompanied by two younger fighters, which were not seen during the attack and likely didn't participate. Although the presence of a camera hints that this video was to be released by the media department of Wilayat Ninawa if the attack would have succeeded or the cameraman would have survived, the presence of two children next to the suicide bomber leave a rather awkward impression, and would likely not have made the final cut.
The next shot, starting at 1:11, shows the suicide bomber before heading off to his target. He says his final words, one of which can be seen in the image below. The load of explosives is mounted at the back of his vehicle, and can be seen covered by a plastic tarp here. His up-armoured vehicle has been serialled '502', which is common practice with VBIEDs of the 'Suicide Battalion'.
Next at 1:31 is the departure of Abu Ridhwan's up-armoured M1114, which has been converted to hold an armoured cabin over its original body. This cabin is large enough to hold three occupants, their weaponry and ammunition and a pintle-mounted machine gun. Two of such converted vehicles would take part in the attack. Although the other vehicle boasts a Chinese 12.7mm W85 heavy machine gun, the vehicle of Abu Ridhwan is not equipped with a heavy machine gun, and has to do with a German 7.62mm MG3, which is manned by Abu Hajaar, seen on the right in the image below. Abu Ridhwan's M1114 is crewed by a total of five people including: Khattab (Driver), Abu Hajaar (MG3 gunner), Abu Abdullah (RPG gunner), Abu Ridhwan (Commander, reloader and 7.62mm 'al-Quds' RPK gunner) and Walid (AKM gunner) occupying the front seat.
As an armoured panel blocks our view of the front seats, the faces of Khattab and Walid aren't seen throughout the video. Of Abu Hajaar, Abu Abdullah and Abu Ridhwan, only the latter appears to have any kind of combat experience. Both Abu Hajaar and Abu Abdullah's performance is rather unimpressive, and in a certain sense almost comedic.
The other M1114 almost identical to that of Abu Ridhwan but armed with a Chinese 12.7mm W85. This vehicle is not armed with slat armour however, and relies on its orginal armour and the somewhat peculiar additional metal plating. An opening has been made in the metal plating at the front of the vehicle, the purpose of which is unknown however.
At 1:43 Abu Ridhwan's GoPro records some of the unguided rockets that would be fired in advance of their attack. The impressive amount of 45 'Fath' unguided rockets (albeit with less impressive accuracy and destruction power) supplemented by a single 120mm mortar would be used to pound Peshmerga positions.
Apart from the two converted M1114s, the 'Storming Battalion' used several other converted vehicles in this battle, including another M1114, one U.S. M1117 ASV, one up-armoured bulldozer equipped with a heavy machine gun cupola, one up-armoured truck with an armoured cabin and a heavy machine gun cupola and several technicals with various amounts of DIY armour equipped with a range of different guns.
2:00, when an RPG shot bounces off the ground slightly in front the other up-armoured M1114. Only seconds later, Abu Ridhwan optimistically begins to engage the entrenched Peshmerga with his 7.62mm al-Quds light machine gun from afar. After he's emptied his first magazine (and struggles to find a new one), Abu Hajaar then begins engaging the enemy with his 7.62mm MG3. This is where the first problems for the crew start to arise. As RPGs are designed to be operated right-handed, Abu Abdullah is standing on the right side of armoured cabin, with Abu Hajaar on the left and Abu Ridhwan in the back. Abu Hajaar's MG3 empties its belt links to the right side however, resulting in Abu Abdullah getting hit by these hot belt links flying through the cabin. He attempts to warn Abu Hajaar of this effect, which can only be stopped if he ceases firing the MG3 or turns it sideways, due to which he can no longer aim.
2:30 shows the up-armoured behemoth and the other up-armoured M1114 that was nearly hit only a minute before. One RPG gunner stands in the armoured cabin of the truck to aim his next shot.
bursts into anger with Abu Hajaar for not looking out.
shows one of the other up-armoured M1114s having been hit, disabled and set on fire, Abu Hajaar then continues firing towards the enemy positions and manages to fire into the cabin for a second time.
used to fire rifle grenades towards Peshermerga positions as the crew gets closer to their entrenched position. The first two rifle grenades are deemed to be too tight a fit by Abu Abdullah, a result of their crude DIY design, and while the third fits more readily, the slow fuse won't ignite. In the end, Abu Ridhwan attempts to light it again himself, but it seems doubtful the rifle grenade will have functioned properly.
gets hit by (presumably) an RPG itself, and if the driver was still alive until this point, moments later he certainly is not. While escaping the vehicle through the back, a fourth person can be seen laying on the ground, likely Walid which sat next to Khattab. Abu Ridhwan continues firing on the Peshmerga with his al-Quds light machine gun, taking cover behind the now useless M1114.
footage shot by Kurdistan24 shows the aftermath of the attack, including much of the destroyed armour after having being towed closer to Peshmerga positions by an armoured bulldozer. First off is one of the VBIEDs, which has been disabled before being able to detonate its deadly load. More interesting however is the vehicle parked behind this VBIED, as this up-armoured M1114 is in fact the vehicle of Abu Ridhwan.
Also seen again is the armoured bulldozer, which apparently got stuck in the ditch that would have prevented vehicles of the Islamic State from ever reaching Peshmerga positions in the first place. The armoured cabin of the bulldozer appears to have been hit, after which the vehicle was rendered inoperable or simply abandoned.
2:31) can be seen below, carrying the serial number '201' and the seal of 'Storming Battalion'. Note the ladders mounted on the side of the vehicle, likely there for scaling the trenches or climbing up fortified Peshmerga positions.
In the end, the attack paints a clear picture of the result any poorly planned offensive against a dug in adversary will attain. No amount of DIY monstrosities or VBIEDs will make up for this strategic disadvantage, and the stumbling and fumbling of the unexperienced Islamic State fighters before their inevitable death should be a clear sign these tactics will accomplish little. For the time being, it appears the Islamic State remains capable of producing more AFVs and willing to sacrifice lives to keep up such pointless assaults, and thus the Peshmerga front North of Mosul is likely to continue to be the scene of fierce fighting and ever more grotesque DIY creations.

Alice Cooper's Stolen 'Wayne's World' Jacket Recovered After One Year Missing
Almost exactly one year ago to the day, a storage facility which houses the Alice Cooper Archives was broken into. A number of items were stolen such as a large quantity of vinyl records, the original sculpture used to create Cooper's 'Hey Stoopid' album cover and perhaps most importantly, a John Richmond jacket which was worn by Cooper during his iconic cameo in 'Wayne's World.' Luckily for Cooper, one year after the burglary, the jacket has been found!
In a March 29, 2012 post on Alice Cooper's official website, details regarding the burglary, along with pictures of stolen items, were shared with the hope of locating part of Cooper's beloved collection. Multiple storage units were broken into on the same night, so Cooper was not believed to be targeted specifically, although many valuable collectors items were stolen.
After finally recovering the 'Wayne's World' jacket, an update alerting fans of the good news was posted on Alice Cooper's website:
Around this time last year the Alice Cooper Archives in Los Angeles were broken into. Most of the Archives collection was spared, though we did loose some important pieces from Alice's career. Among the stolen items were the sculpture used for the "Hey Stoopid" album cover, and a John Richmond jacket worn by Alice in the movie Wayne's World! We did a post about the stolen items, and the break-in received quite a bit of attention.
Though most of the items have never been seen again, we were contacted in early March of this year by the LAPD indicating that the the John Richmond jacket was found and turned in! The story we got was that an anonymous gentleman claimed to have found it in good condition behind a dumpster in Culver City, CA. The man seemed to know what he had found and immediately took it to the LAPD in Culver City. Apparently he wanted to remain anonymous and was not interested in any reward.
The LAPD contacted us, arrangements were made to have it picked up and it was finally sent home to Alice in Phoenix. Alice is thrilled to have it back, so much so that he took it out of it's glass case and is now wearing it regularly!
Thanks to all of you who kept your eye out for it. Because of the publicity and the number of reposts to the original story, the thieves must have realized they had a one of a kind piece with a limited market who would be aware that it was stolen.
Keep your eyes out for Alice's missing treasures! And get pumped for Cooper's upcoming co-headlining 'Masters of Madness' tour with Marilyn Manson.
