Do you remember May 18, 1980? The stories below were submitted by members of our community; if you have stories or photographs about Mount St. Helens before, during, or after the eruption, we'd love to have them.
share your story of May 18, 1980
Stoned in the woods in Eastern Washington, volcanic ash clouds, fallout blew their minds
"When we turned on the radio, the first thing we heard was: 'We're all in this together.' We were terrified. WHAT had happened?!?"
Sharp-eyed girl spots eruption
"I remember watching the cloud of ash continue to grow larger and larger until it overtook the sky. It was an amazing sight and one that I will never forget."
Sightseers found a way around the roadblocks - for a while
" I can remember hearing a low rumbling sound. And though some snow was on the ground, I could feel that the ground was (ahem) warm. So, we decided to go back."
How would you wrap it?
"What an anniversary present -- an erupting volcano."
Grandparents' camera captured eruption
"I doubt these have actually been seen by many people, as I found them stuffed at the bottom of a photo box."
A birthday to remember
The May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens put an exclamation point on her 21st birthday celebration.
Caught in a volcano-watcher traffic jam
"If the wind would have changed directions, there would have been an extreme panic and we, along with everyone else on that highway, would have been added to the deadly statistics."
Six-year-old awed but not scared
Childhood memories include an interrupted church service, a bucket of ash and a fascination with Harry S. Truman.
"What are they looking at?"
Motorcycle trip with his kids took a turn when they realized all those people were watching the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
One last night at cabin proved fatal
Real estate agent's client slipped past roadblocks to spend the night of May 17, 1980, with his girlfriend at a cabin on Spirit Lake. They were killed the next morning.
Helping prevent Spirit Lake flooding
His company provided pumps that protected area until a diversion tunnel could be completed.
An outdoorsman's paradise despoiled
"As we watched the ash plume rise into the air, we knew that all we would have left were our memories."
Geology field trip cut short by eruption
"It was decided to cut our trip short and race back to Portland to save our homes. My thought was: How stupid. If that was the case, it was already too late and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about saving your home."

We all know that money is tight just now and education does take a large slice of the local budget. Having said that, I think that any school closure has to be approached with great caution.
The closing a school not only affects the viability of the immediate community, but also has long term effects on surrounding areas and its infrastructure. In fact the closure could cause more problems than it solves.

Customer Ratings & Reviews
Quenching Big Thirst Fountain 5 5
Love It!!! Bought this a few weeks ago and Ive already gotten so many compliments on it. I love this fountain. Its very detailed and looks better in person. Easy to set up. Super fast shipping. I got it 3 days after I ordered it. Its beautiful! June 30, 2012
Love It! This is such a great fountain and so very different from all the others that I had looked at... We are a family that loves dogs, and this fountain looks like the puppy that we are about to purchase. So to us this is more that just a "dog fountain" it is a reminder of the puppy that will be the next member of our family. October 12, 2011
I Love My Fountain! I found this fountain approximately two years ago in the SkyMall magazine located in the seat back pocket of the airplane. I loved it then, but didn't puchase. Thought it would not be a good idea to purchase a fountain that had to be shipped. I have been looking ever since and just never found anything else that I liked as much. I finally ordered it this summer and now don't know why I waited so long.The fountain was delivered via UPS and arrived in perfect condition due to the wonderful packing of the product. This was also my first purchase with SkyMall and I couldn't be more pleased.Everyone who sees it falls in love with it and immediately asks, "where did you find that?" My quick reply is "SkyMall."Don't hesitate to purchase. You won't be disappointed. July 22, 2009
Adorable Fountain The fountain is unique and adored by everyone who enters our front door. It is attractive inside the house or in the yard. We unpacked it and set it up in our entry and liked it so much, we decided to just leave it there.The size of the fountain is just perfect. March 5, 2009

EXPEDIT shelving unit + total kitty litter disguise
Materials: EXPEDIT 2x4 shelving unit, EXPEDIT insert with door, cat flap, drill, jigsaw, box cutter
Description: I share a studio apartment with a furry young gentleman named Peanut. He's a great roommate, but his litter box clashes with my aesthetic - not to mention the precious square footage that it occupies. So when I bought a new bookshelf for my entryway, I decided to make it double as a litter box hideaway as well.
This is a great hack because you're only sacrificing one row of shelves - the top three rows can still be used for storage. I left the top four cubes open and stuck KNIPSA baskets in the bottom two. You also don't have to buy much in addition to the shelving unit itself, since most of the construction will make use of repurposed unused pieces (except of course for the cat flap - I bought mine on Amazon for about $12).
Start by assembling the EXPEDIT unit, skipping the shelf divider on the bottom (so that the bottom shelf isn't divided into two separate cubes). There may be wooden pegs sticking out where the shelf divider should be; you can just saw or sand those down. Don't throw out the unused shelf divider, though - you'll need it later!
Before you assemble the EXPEDIT insert with door, lay the insert flat and use a boxcutter to slice off the right side (the side that would have lined up with the bottom shelf divider, if you hadn't skipped the bottom shelf divider). Assemble and install the insert on the left side of the bottom shelf.
Now you have a bottom shelf that's half-closed - the spare shelf divider is going to become the other half. Right now it's a bit too long to fit neatly next to the door, so cut it down to size using a jigsaw (or a handsaw and some serious elbow grease) to trim about 1" off the short edge. Next, install the cat flap in the center of this panel according to the instructions on the flap.
Slide the panel into the front of the shelving unit, wedging it tightly in place next to the door insert. You can open the door to place the litter box inside, and your kitty can use the flap to step in and out.
Et voila! No big ugly litter box taking up floor space, and way less litter scattered all over the apartment.

Nicely done. Question: Is there enough space from the cat box to the bottom of the shelf above?
A mat in front of the swinging door would help with the tracking btw, as would putting a mat in the actual Ikea piece if there's room for him to step on it while entering/exiting the box.
Beautiful hack though. That's such a bad idea. The cat wouldn't be happy with having to use this as its far too low. It might get bowel problems. Very thoughtless.
Imagine if you had to bend while using the toilet.
I am very sad for your cat.
I really hope no one else does this.Replies- AnonymousJune 15, 2013 1:03 AM
shut up!!! theres always some debby downer on these forums. Worry about wiping your ass and not mr. peanut. He seems fine
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2013 3:31 PM
Haha, I'm sure you meant well (I mean, looks > cats needs), but this seems very inconsiderate for the cat. How can it properly squat? Unless it's a super small cat, it's head is probably hitting the top of the shelf, and it's probably laying it's chest in it's own urine and poop. Kind of amusing, actually(only because I dont have to endure the aftermath).
Hopefully my cynical assumptions are wrong - but after seeing the above comment, I can tell Im not the only one thinking this way Sally, as soon as I saw your picture, I knew exactly what I was looking at & I thought 'that's a brilliant idea!!' Don't let the negative comments get to you; people would rather say something negative than positive. I know how much you love your Peanut to create a litter box that works for him as well as you. He's your baby & I have 4 of my own (dogs) & you would never treat him poorly. Again, fabulous idea!!
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2013 11:44 PM
Yeah, Sally, Donna here is right! Screw Peanut if he's not comfortable while taking a dump! If it makes you happy, which apparently is also creepily important to Donna here, then who needs to take into the physical and mental health of an animal? Ain't nobody got time for that! And think about it - it's not like if Peanut's unhappy he'll just start crapping on the floor or the couch or your clothing, right? RIGHT?
- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2013 4:43 PM
God what a bunch of self-righteous arm-chair brianiacs around here. "I am very sorry for your cat", how can you people write that stuff? Come on, do you really think you're that special and wise compared to every other cat owner? Get a hobby or something if you need that kind of boost to your self esteem.
I think this is a good solution assuming it's a step-in litter box and the cat is small.
For those of you also talking about "what if you had to squat?" that is actually the physically proper way to relieve yourself, you should look it up. It's much better for your health in the long run. Many other countries use squatting toilets.Replies- AnonymousFebruary 11, 2013 11:40 PM
"that is actually the physically proper way to relieve yourself, you should look it up."
Yes, you're right, squatting really is a much healthier way to relieve one's self - FOR A HUMAN! You are aware of course, Mr. "Brianiac" that cats don't walk nor sit in the same fashion as human. As a review for you, Brian, cats walk on all fours and sit on their hind legs (sometimes). Humans walk upright on all twos and lack hind legs, and therefor the act of "squatting" is completely different for a two-legged vs a four-legged creature. Also, cats don't squat when they defecate - hence the digging of a small pit to do their business. Every cat I've ever seen "sits" upright in the box, and doesn't lie prone like Peanut here is likely doing. - AnonymousFebruary 12, 2013 5:14 AM
In case you never seen a defecating cat - because you clearly do not know what position a cat takes - refer to Wikipedia commons photo:
You can clearly see there is not enough space in this hack for the cat to assume its natural and most comfortable position while using the litter box.
Sally from Brooklyn, this is not comfortable for your Peanut. Get a higher shelf.
Actually, the poster said, "How can it properly squat?" And the other poster about bending clearly also meant the cat cannot assume a proper posture when using the litter. So it seems like the concern was that the set up doesn't accommodate the cat very well. It does look a few inches too low and it lacks the space the cat needs to comfortably go in and out. I really like the idea, however I would probably do a few modifications such as: change the direction of the expedit if I have the room, provide more height clearance, and install one long door or 2 small ones. I wouldn't mind losing a couple more spaces that would otherwise go to decor pieces. Also, a long door or 2 small ones would make removing the litter and cleaning the space easier.

Jen - please stop making sense. Seriously, ain't nobody got time for that. Your helpful suggestion are unwelcome because they're obviously well thought out and take into account the needs of both the animal *and* the owner. However, if you're not claiming that humans and cats crap in the same position you're just wasting our time. Now excuse me while I go take a dump while lying down, just like Peanut here is forced to do. Nurse! Nurse! Bring me my golden bedpan please! Oh forget it, I'll just clean it up later.
Thanks for your concern (?) everyone - but as the person who lives in this apartment with this cat, I can promise he fits in the litter box. The shelf is 13" high and he is shorter than that. Since he hasn't yet sought revenge by shitting all over my stuff, I can only assume that he's fine and not in fact being tortured by the new setup.
Now you can all poop easy knowing that my cat is okay! I'll think of you all while I'm on the toilet later.Replies- NikolleFebruary 15, 2013 1:19 AM
I'm new to ikea and new to this forum AND this is the very first thread I've read. Hope they all make me giggle this much! Classic!
As Sally posted a pic of her cat exiting the set-up, it's plainly obvious he's small enough to comfortably use it. Cats can, and will, do their business where and when they want. If it wasn't adequate, he wouldn't be using it. I have a much larger cat who, when upset, would go under a dresser FAR shorter in height than this and pee and poop. Adding another litter pan (and isolating her at night from our other cats) solved the problem.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousFebruary 13, 2013 7:03 AM
it would be a great idea but doesn't the box smells?i mean is it easy for you to clean it up daily?
ReplyDeleteRepliesIt actually doesn't smell at all - it's easy to slide the litter box out the door and scoop it, so cleaning isn't any more of a hassle than with a regular litter box. The door is also big enough for me to fit my vacuum cleaner inside, so cleaning up scattered litter isn't a problem either.
- AnonymousFebruary 14, 2013 4:41 PM
Ditch the baskets above and make it taller for the little guy. It isn't high enough for him. My commercial cat box is taller than that. What you could do is hull out the shelves above and seal off the inside edges so no rough bits. The using the edges put in shelled out expedit red clear plastic buckets for added light
ReplyDeleteReplies- AnonymousFebruary 15, 2013 2:11 PM
^ That obviously isn't necessary as she has already made it clear that her cat has no problems using his box. Cats slink into much smaller spaces often. Sally is fine and so is her cat, she doesn't need suggestions on something that ALREADY WORKS for her and her furry friend.
- AnonymousFebruary 18, 2013 1:08 AM
I think the litter box size may be what's throwing people off. It looks tall in the space. I just set my cat on my expedit shelf, she's standing up completely with no issues. The only problem I can see would be trying to hop in and out of a taller box easily. I dunno how high it's in the picture, but I'd try to find a low one, not the deep side litter boxes. As long as it works for kitty, I don't see what the problem is! I've had cats that pooped in smaller places regularly.

Just commenting to confirm that Expedit shelves really are tall enough, especially for a little cat. The two LARGEST cats in my household (each around 14-15 lbs) are obsessed with my Expedit and love to jump on to the top shelves and knock over all my glass knick-knacks. Neither has any problem getting in or out and both can sit or stand in the shelf comfortably. (I'm actually going to get the new glass-door inserts this weekend just to keep my cats OUT!)
Really, all that matters is that the cat in question is comfortable using it. As all cat owners know, cats don't feel the need to accommodate their humans and if they don't like a litter box, they just won't use it. If Peanut is using this one, it means he's comfortable in it. End of story! - AnonymousMarch 29, 2013 11:31 AM
I love this idea! I have a CleverCat litter box that has an opening on top for the cat to jump in. Sally, are the shelves in expedit adjustable?
ReplyDelete Quite great idea Jules! Anyway, i've a question that i heard an advertisement on the radio recently saying you can protect your chrome from moisture over the winter if you combine charcoal and kitty litter in a container and place it under your motorcycle cover - can't remember how much of each to use, however. Anyone else know any details about this?

Sally - I adore this hack, and my cat says the space is fine! He has less than two cm more above his head in his fancy studied-for-cats-bought-in-a-pet-shop loo, and from what I can observe when I sit outside with the spade ready to scoop out the smelly he is making in there, there is almost a whole hand's width from his head to the ceiling while he is at it. And, he is no kitten size-wise - quite the contrary.

Maximize the yield potential of late-planted corn hybrids
Spring 2013 has been a chilly, damp contrast to 2012, when most corn was planted by May 1.

1 comment
In The Plant Game, developed by participants at the Cornell Institute for Biology Teachers (CIBT), teams of students �grow a plant� composed of �leaves,� �roots� and �flowers.� Their goal: To devise a strategy that will allow their plants (green leaf cutouts with paper clip roots "grown" in graduated cylinders) to produce the maximum number of flowers. Students must figure out how to keep their plants' roots in water and produce enough leaves to support photosynthesis. The outcome is dependent not only on students' decisions but also on the weather, which is randomly determined by the roll of a single die. The number on the die indicates how much photosynthesis will be carried out and how much water gain (rainfall) or loss (transpiration) will occur. The game ends when another roll of the die indicates a �frost.� The activity helps students understand the environmental stresses that plants experience. Game pieces that can be photocopied and laminated are included.

Lewisville Fire Safety Clowns visit elementary students
By Heather M. Goodwin,
Published: Friday, October 26, 2012 2:53 PM CDT
Choo-choo, choo-choo said the A&R Railway 911 as it pulled into Degan Elementary School Thursday morning.
As "Ashes," "Radio" and "Squirt" set up camp in the train yard, students filed into the cafeteria to see what the commotion was about. The children quickly learned that the clowns were at their school to deliver a message.
"I'm Ashes...and I'm Radio," the clowns said.
"And we're the Boxcar Buddies. We ride the rails up and down and see the countryside. And where we stop, we teach kids ways that they can be safe," Ashes said.
During their stay at the school, Ashes and Radio, along with their iPad friend "Squirt" the fire hydrant, taught students all about fire safety. Students learned that smoke detectors should be checked once a month and batteries changed twice a year. They also learned to create a home escape plan that includes two exits from every room in their house (in most cases, a door and a window) and plan a meeting place for their families.
In the event of a fire emergency, the clowns taught students how smoke rises and that they should crawl low below the smoke to the nearest exit.
"You should check closed doors for heat with the back of your hand. If the door is hot, be prepared to go out your second way out by crawling low below the smoke (because that's where the good air is) over to the window, open the window, push out the screen and go right outside, right to your meeting place," Ashes said. "And you don't come back in until the firemen say you can."
Ashes and Radio also taught the students the proper way to call 911 and the information they should know before calling.
"You should know your name, address, and explain the emergency to the operator," the clowns said. "And, if you're calling from a cell phone, be sure to push the green button to make the call."
Finally, Ashes and Radio taught children how to react if their clothes catch on fire. Ashes quizzed Radio on the proper response, and Radio received help from Degan Elementary teachers. The three decided that in the event that clothes should catch on fire, you should stop, drop to the ground, cover your face and roll until the flames our out.
As their time at Degan Elementary came to a close, Ashes and Radio asked the students to pass on the lessons they learned to their families. Next, they will visit Creekside and Parkway elementary on Monday, Lakeland Elementary on Tuesday, Valley Ridge on Wednesday and finally Lewisville Elementary on Friday.

Come on AD what was that?

Come on AD what was that?
I'm just salivating imagine Davis 3-4 years from now.
I'll understand how offensive guy can jump into defender and the defender gets the foul
Crazy we are in this game.
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
They need to be hitting AD on the roll everytime .. The lob the ball up to him . He's gonna catch it over everybody
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
gotta love the davis hustle man...i literally just fell out rollin when he fell right there..its all good tho cause like i said before i wanna see him attack...i dont care what transpires from it..just attack the basket
I think he was trying to use Landry or Ezihil or whoever that was's body for leverage but the guy wasn't there so he fell.
I think a move that Davis will learn to lethal effectiveness is the one dribble half-spin hook shot. With his crazy length and hops no one could block it once he gets it over his shoulders.
Monty jumping on AR for letting Curry get loose on those series of screens
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Interested in seeing what kind of play Monty draws up,
AD's shot is so smooth that with his length his fallaway from the post might already automatic and un-blockable. Scary to think about.

LUMBERTON — Superintendent Johnny Hunt doesn't care where the money comes from to keep the Public Schools of Robeson County operating, but he says the system needs more of it — and more freedom on how to spend it.
Asked by The Robesonian last week if he thinks the county Board of Commissioners should provide more local funding for operating and maintaining the county's 42 public schools — the state's 19th largest district — Hunt chose his words carefully.
"I really don't know what the overall financial status of the county is," said Hunt, a former chairman of the county Board of Commissioners. "Their status is very important and has to be given consideration because any decision they make affects everyone.
"Sure, I'd like to see more money. But I don't care where the money comes from. I just want to have enough money so we can continue to offer the services that benefit our students and keep people employed."
The school district's proposed $235 million budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 was submitted to Kellie Blue, the county's finance director, this week. The document is just a "planning budget" that can't be finalized until the General Assembly approves its final education budget, according to Erica Setzer, the school district's chief finance officer.
The commissioners on Monday begin work on the fiscal year 2012-13 budget that becomes effective July 1. Both Hunt and Setzer say that county officials over the years have worked well with the schools in an effort to supply as much funding as possible.
"They have been wonderful to work with," Hunt said. "There have been no arguments over the years, at least over the past six years that I have been superintendent."
According to Setzer, the county's allocation in the school district's current budget is about $17 million. Included in that amount, she said, is a general appropriation of $12.3 million, allocated based on a state formula; $3.5 million in sales tax to be used for capital outlay projects; and another $1 million from court fines and personal property forfeitures paid to the county.
Interim County Manager Ricky Harris said that the schools can bank on receiving from the county at least the same amount of funding they received this current fiscal year; anything above that would be the call of the commissioners.
'The commissioners make the policy," Harris said. "I just work the numbers."
Hunt points to the size of the school district when he talks about dealing with state funding cuts that have totaled $28 million since the 2009-10 school year. The district, he said, includes 24,000 students, employs 4,400 people, and runs 257 buses 15,000 miles every day.
He also notes the effect the cuts have on the local economy.
"That $28 million taken from our budget is money that is not turning over in the community," he said.
Hunt said the district currently needs $300 million to construct new facilities. The district's budget now only includes $9 million for capital projects.
According to Setzer, the district will have to revert back to the state about $8 million in funds during the next fiscal year. The next budget will also be without $4.8 million in federal stimulus money that is now being used to pay about 135 teachers through September.
Setzer said that the schools are now responsible for paying more to match an individual's cost to participate in the state's health insurance plan. The schools also have to increase the match it pays on the gross wages of eligible retirees.
Both Hunt and Setzer said they hope some changes in federal Title I regulations will add the flexibility school districts need to spend federal dollars in areas that best meet their needs. They said that the schools will no longer have to pay the transportation cost for students utilizing their option of school choice, and a savings is also expected as a result of changes in federal regulations regarding the supplemental services the district must provide for Title I students.
Hunt said more "flexibility" in spending would benefit local school districts.
"We know how to best use the money," he said.
Both Hunt and Setzer said it is too soon to know if personnel cuts will be needed..
"There are still so many undetermined variables," Setzer said. "But if nothing changes in the planning allotments, and there are no more cuts, we should be able to get by with what we have now."
Hunt said that state legislators don't realize that cutting funding makes reaching statewide goals of low dropout rates, higher test scores and improved graduation rates more difficult.
"There are still some people who don't think we have been cut any money, and some of those people are state legislators," he said.

Pete Hawley Remembered
A little while ago I receive an email from Shelley Nugent. In July of 2007 I wrote about her grandpa, Pete Hawley. Shelley offered to fill in some background details about his career. We began corresponding and I asked Shelley to tell me what she remembered about her grandpa. Here's what she wrote...
"My grandparents lived in Sedona and we lived in Phoenix (120 miles apart) so we saw my grandparents a lot. Actually, I was born in Cottonwood (15 minutes from Sedona, there wasn't a hospital there yet). My parents lived up there when my dad came back from Vietnam. I was born , the first grandchild on July 13th on my grandpa's birthday 5 weeks early. He used to like to say he got a pear tree and a granddaughter that year for his birthday. I'll be 41 this July."
"We saw them a lot. My dad was very close to his parents. He never missed a Mother's or Father's Day with them. He has an older sister Susan who still lives in my grandparent's house and a younger sister Jane. She died in 1993. She was my favorite Aunt. My grandpa had a studio off the kitchen with it's own bathroom. It had windows all the way around it. When you'd open the door, you'd have to step down 2 steps. It always smelled like old man Old Spice and paint."
"He would take pictures of neighbor kids or us kids to use for his drawings. He used his kids a lot when they were little, they were beautiful kids. He had this black & white Polaroid camera that spit the pictures out and they smelled really bad until they dried. I don't know exactly when he retired, my dad might know. I remember him working until I was in my teens I think."
"When I was little I would bring him his cookies and Instant breakfast at lunchtime and stir his water bowl (where he'd rinse his brush) and make all his cigarette ashes come back to the top. (He smoked for a little while) Unless he needed my help with something, we didn't bother him. If I was quiet I could color on the floor. He worked for American Greetings then."
"He would on his own make Xmas cards for his friends depicting the menagerie of dogs & cats he and my grandma had. He had really nice handwriting. I know that he wrote left handed, but I actually think he could paint with both."
Above, a photo from 1979. Shelley writes, "12/21/1979 My Aunt Jane (now deceased), my younger sister, my grandpa and me."
* Shelley is helping me develop a week-long series about her grandpa, Pete Hawley, which I hope to bring to you some time soon.

For some reason, I remembered getting the Pete Hawley cards although I was too young to remember the illustrator's name! - 4:00 PM
I remember the great cartoon work and style....don't think I knew the artist's name. He did a lot of national stuff....but Arizona seems a strange base for those days. Usually you needed a large city, west, mid west, or east with more contacts. Thanks for the ongoing education and entertainment, Leif.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing this correspondence and all the great art from one of my all time favorites.
I had a very nice phone conversation with Pete's daughter Susan several years ago after I tracked her down with the help of Jantzen archivist Arthur McArthur, who actually flw to Sedona to meet with Pete's kids Susan and Michael- it was clear that he had a very loving and proud family.
It's wonderful to see Pete getting the attention his incredible work deserves. When I first began collecting and researching his work about 15 years ago there was no information to be found anywhere.
Thanks, Leif!

It's easy to overlook the great artistry in kitsch. Something about Hawley really resonates with me: I'm a sucker for volume, form, and life and Hawley made magic on a flat page.
Thanks for going to the trouble, Lief! - 7:25 PM

I have liked and admired the illustrations of children in the bell telephone ads. I have clipped a bunch of them. He was able to animate them & keep them cute with realistic lighting.
Looking forward to seeing this material. I have to name check Shane Glines for pointing me in the direction of the JANTZEN ads Hawley did. I was always hip to the BETSY BELL stuff, but the swimsuit ads are amazing.
He's another guy of that era who could have been a phenomenal addition to the PLAYBOY cartoon stable.
Again, big thanks for all the terrific work. - 10:09 AM

Thanks everyone, for the great comments! Shane; thanks for the encouragement - like Howard, I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for making me aware of Pete Hawley's work way back when I began Today's Inspiration. I'm glad to be able to now fill in the blanks on his career with Shelley's generous assistance.
- Les Toil said...
Hey Leif, like so many of your blog followers, I've been a big fan of Mr. Hawley's art all of my life without knowing it.
I rediscovered his work through your flickr collection two years ago. Guess I didn't know he was responsible for those particular little Valentines cards that I recall trading with my fellow elementary schoolers.
From an aesthetic standpoint, Those Peter Pan almond eyes he renders on all of his figures are just the cat's meow. I also dig his strong and organic holding lines. Gives it a bold and happy style. It actually surprised me to read from his granddaughter that he used models for his assignments--especially for children! Every aspect of their anatomy is distinctively Hawley that seems completely born of his imagination. - 1:37 PM
I just found an old picture from my father in law who was a doctor. It is the "socialized medicine" one and is so cute. I know found information of the artist and seeing the other pictures he done warms my heart and makes it even more special. Just think, socialized medicine has been talked about for years even in this darling little pictures. Thank you for sharing

POINT PLEASANT — The area's only Center for Women's Health will open its doors on Monday, May 6 at Pleasant Valley Hospital.
The Center for Women's Health has been years in the making and recently made the leap from idea to reality. The hospital will celebrate the opening of the center on May 15 with tours and a ribbon cutting ceremony.
Designed by women for women, the new center is located in an expanded area inside the main lobby of PVH. This private and conveniently located space is newly renovated and designed to meet the outpatient needs of women. Women can now receive all of their diagnostic tests and annual screenings during one visit at one convenient location.
"The Center for Women's Health enhances our ability to deliver care and ultimately improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for many women who find it a challenge to come to multiple appointments," stated Tom Schauer, chief executive officer.
Agnes A. Enrico Simon, MD, president of the medical staff, further commented, "The location will serve as a medical home for women's health enabling us to offer diagnostic tests and annual screenings in one convenient place and often during the same visit. This enhances our ability to provide coordinated care for our patients."
Appointments are available with Tammy Lynch, nurse practitioner board-certified in Women's Health Care (WHNP-BC). She completed a Master of Science Degree and a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Program at the Ohio State University. Lynch received her certification in Women's Health from the National Certification Corporation. Lynch also completed post-graduate work in the Family Nurse Practitioner Program from the West Virginia University School of Nursing. She was certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
The Center for Women's Health serves women of all ages in need of outpatient diagnostic tests and annual screenings. Diagnostic tests include those for obstetrics and gynecology, laboratory, breast, heart, and vascular. Annual screening examinations include mammogram, breast, pap smear, bone density, physical examination, and check-ups. Other diagnostic tests and screenings are available.
The Center for Women's Health includes members of Pleasant Valley Hospital's Radiology Department. The Radiology Department maintains a gold seal accreditation by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The ACR gold seal accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR practice guidelines and technical standards, following a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and the medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the physicians and staff, image quality, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality of care provided to their patients.
Suresh K. Agrawal, MD, medical director of radiology, stated, "We are pleased to have the latest medical imaging technology and to earn and maintain the highest level of accreditation from ACR, the ACR gold seal. We are among a limited number of hospitals in the tri-state area holding the highest level of accreditation in image quality and patient safety."
"The decision to build the center was, in large part, due to our recognizing that women in the area need a specialized center that can provide timely services," stated Connie Davis, senior director of ancillary services. "Women are responsible for balancing the needs of their home and growing families, and some women are also responsible for caring for their parents and other relatives. With everyone depending on her, we know this means she has little time to focus on her health needs. That is why our team of women at Pleasant Valley Hospital decided to design The Center for Women's Health."
Davis went on to say, "We also created a community focus group for the center that consists of women from ages 15 to 64. The focus group members are from Mason and Jackson Counties in West Virginia and Gallia and Meigs Counties in Ohio. We look forward to expanding the center in the near future using their direction and ideas."
This focus group will continue to be a part of the Women's Health Center and initial feedback from those involved included: hiring staff who listen to women and are accountable for their care; offering affordable diagnostic testing for those who are insured, underinsured or not insured; addressing not only the physical health of women but mental health issues; addressing the needs of new mothers; assuring the new center was aesthetically inviting to women.

I LOVE that word! Mom Cave. I first heard it from a HomeGoods commercial. And thought to myself-hmmm thats what I need. Our guest bedroom was quite the eyesore. Yes it had a bed for guest and yes the walls were at least painted but thats where it stopped. It mostly had become my dumping ground to hide my excessive garge-sale-going-excursions. (to which I have slowed down quite a bit).
I am a new convert of gray! I love gray/grey (however you like to spell it). Its such an amazing color- it can be warm, cool, neutral, masculine, feminine...its quite a versatile color. So 1st up gray walls! accented with white & a punch of yellow.

The bible tells us that as wives we are to respect our husbands. What do you do if you just don't view your husband as really worthy of respect? I wish I respected my husband but I just don't. We have been married for 11 years. He is a good man. He is a good father. However he has got to be the worst provider in the history of the world. I am not going to go deep into it but suffice it to say that we live well below the poverty line because he just has to be self-employed. He is not the kind of person that is cut out for that. Ever since we got married he has had very inconsistent employment. If he gets a job making a good wage he gets fired. He just withdrew from school because he can't handle his piddly self employment and school too. I don't get that as I handle all household duties, parenting and grad school. So here he is almost 40, and has no real clue what he wants to be. I am sick and fed up with it and consequently I have no respect for him.
I would love nothing more than to be able to rely on him to bring home the bacon, and me stay at home and continue homeschooling. But no I realized a few years ago that if I ever want us to have anything, be off of public assistance, then I was going to have to go back to school and then off to work.
I'm resentful and I just can't respect him. Help! I feel like I'm being disobedient in this area, but I just can't force myself to feel and act like I respect him when I don't.

Neoprene Knee Braces and Neoprene Knee Supports
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is characterized by its superior resistance and possesses a variety of properties that make it quite useful: it is abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, stretchable, and buoyant. First developed in 1930, neoprene has since been incorporated in everyday products. It is most commonly used, however, in the production of wetsuits and orthotic/athletic support braces. In fact, neoprene knee braces are some of the most effective orthotic braces in the market today.
Because neoprene is known as an insulator, a neoprene brace is effective not only in relieving pain in the afflicted area but also for retaining heat to help aid in compression and improved blood circulation (the compression and warmth that neoprene knee braces provide increases circulation that helps speed up the recovery of injured ligaments in the knee). Neoprene braces are also water-resistant; thus they are ideal for use during sports or other athletic or sweat-inducing activities. Another advantage of a neoprene brace for knee is the flexibility and support that it can provide but without being too constricting. Some neoprene knee braces even have hinges that offer extra stability and protection.
A word of advice: those who are shopping for neoprene knee supports should make sure, though, to get latex-free neoprene braces to avoid contact hives or latex allergy. Latex allergy, in particular—which is defined as hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to natural rubber latex—can be a potentially life-threatening condition, not unlike the severe reaction (anaphylactic shock) some people have to bee stings. Neoprene does not, naturally, contain latex, but many products that are advertised as neoprene such as braces, gloves, and other items worn on the body actually have a latex base that is covered by a thin layer of neoprene. These products, more often than not, can sometimes affect people who are allergic to latex.
We at BraceAbility offer only premium-grade, 100 percent latex-free neoprene knee supports or neoprene alternatives so you are assured of the highest quality and safety of our neoprene braces.
The Corflex CoolTex 16-Inch Contender Neoprene Knee Brace
One of Corflex's most original designs, the Contender Neoprene Knee Support, offers the convenience of a wrap above the knee and a sleeve below the knee. It is recommended for non-contact sports and activities of daily living. The polycentric hinge with contoured condyle shell has aluminum uprights and offers full flexion and extension control with settings at 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 60 degrees, and 90 degrees. The Contender Neoprene Knee Brace is manufactured in either premium-grade latex-free neoprene with sued hinge cover or in CoolTex, a neoprene alternative material.
This neoprene support is ideal for medial or lateral instability, muscle or ligament weakness or injury, ACL or PCL moderate instability, strains or sprains, and degenerative joint disease where extension/flexion control is required.
The Corflex CoolTex 16-Inch Posterior Adjustable Neoprene Knee Sleeve with Range-of-Motion Hinge
The Corflex CoolTex Neoprene Knee Sleeve has range-of-motion hinges that allow for full flexion and extension control and unique design that offers the convenience of a sleeve below the knee and benefits of an adjustable wrap above the knee. It is perfect for ACL or PCL moderate instability, degenerative joint disorders (where extension or flexion control is required), muscle or ligament weakness or injury, and medial or lateral instability.
Choose from our selection of high-quality and competitively priced neoprene knee braces depending on your needs. Not sure what neoprene knee support you require? No problem.

Doctor convicted of selling medical marijuana certificates to patients he never even met, faces prison time
A suspended medical doctor was found guilty Friday of two felonies related to selling pre-signed medical marijuana certificates to supposed patients through a co-defendant at a Warren store.
Lois Butler-Jackson, 52, who practiced in Clinton Township and elsewhere, was convicted of health care fraud and "conspiracy to commit (an) offense or legal act in (an) illegal manner" following a four-day trial in front of a jury in Macomb County Circuit Court in Mount Clemens.
Butler-Jackson of Detroit blindly approved hundreds of medical marijuana certificates that were sold to people to obtain a patient card under the Medical Marijuana Act, according to law enforcement officials. Butler-Jackson failed to follow the law that required her to establish a doctor-patient relationship and obtain a patient history.
"We looked at this as a scam and fraud that was taking advantage of the Medical Marijuana Act that voters passed," said Assistant Macomb Prosecutor William Dailey, who prosecuted the case with First Assistant Attorney General William Rollstin. "We relied on this doctor to make a professional assessment. She abused her power and authority for money."
Butler-Jackson frowned upon hearing the verdict and turned to talk with her mother in the courtroom gallery.
Her attorney, Eastpointe-based Charles Merlo, could not be reached for comment afterward.
Merlo during the pretrial stage tried to get both charges thrown out based on immunity, and the conspiracy charge removed on the contention she was not acting in an illegal manner.
An appeal attempt on the immunity issue was turned down by the state Court of Appeals.
The MMA, which was passed by voters in 2008, has been tested in many court cases over the past four years.
Prosecutors said that Butler-Jackson sold the signed certificates for $100 to the accused middleman, Brian Deloose, who allegedly resold them for $250 at his "Safe Access Clinic" at his appliance store. Officials alleged more than 300 were sold. Continued...
Deloose, 36, of Eastpointe, is charged with three counts of delivery or manufacture of marijuana and one count each of intentionally placing false information on a chart and conspiracy to commit a legal act or offense in an illegal manner. He faces a Feb. 6 pretrial in front of Judge Diane Druzinski, who presided over Butler-Jackson's trial.
Clinton Township police's investigation revealed that Deloose instructed patients to return 20 days after registering to purchase marijuana, officials said. The state MMA provides that if an applicant's paperwork is not processed within 20 days, then a copy of the application serves as a valid medical marijuana registration card.
Undercover township officers purchased completed packets with certificates signed by Butler-Jackson without ever meeting her in person or obtaining her review of their medical records, authorities said. Those officers returned with the original applications 20 days later to purchase marijuana from Deloose's appliance store.
Butler-Jackson worked as a home-care physician for Sentinel Wound Care Associates in Clinton Township. Her license to practice medicine, issued in 1988, is under suspension, according to records of the state Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs.
Butler-Jackson could face jail or prison time when she is sentenced March 5 by Druzinski. The conspiracy charge is punishable by up to five years in prison and the fraud charge carries a top penalty of five years in prison.

and to that of our planet in a world threatened by our own development. |
The physics paradigm today is based mainly upon the concept of c-square, the squaring of the speed of light in a vacuum. Numerous fundamental physical and chemical constants provided in the physics literature [CODATA] reflect numerical values based upon powers of c, the speed of light in vacuo. The speed of light in a vacuum is determined to represent the upper limit of movement of mass|energy by physicists. |
The upper speed limit for a light photon is 299792458 meters/second. The square of that number produces a numerical value that does not exist in any form of matter-energy. The c-square actually represents a number that corresponds to a near massless event: a light photon. The author goes beyond a critique of Albert Einstein's famous formula based upon this unreal number. The rejection of Einstein's formula is explored through basic math, the summation of powers in the equation's terms. |
