INTERVIEW: Inhabitat Chats with J Mays, VP of Global Design and Chief Creative Officer at Ford Motor Company
Automotive designer J Mays has become well-known as the design director of Ford Motor Company. Born in rural Oklahoma, Mays started working at his family's auto parts store at an early age with aspirations of becoming an architect, but eventually found his calling in car design while at the Art Center in Pasadena. An automotive design pioneer with more than 30 years under his belt, Mays has been involved in the design of a number of the car industry's most well-recognized automobiles, including the VW "New Beetle", Aston Martin DB9, Land Rover LR3/Discovery, Ford GT, 2011 Ford Fiesta, 2012 Focus (including the Focus EV), and the new green 2013 Ford Fusion—just to name a few! For the last 16 years he's been leading the charge at Ford as the Vice President of Global Design and Chief Creative Officer and has played a critical role in bringing a new generation of stylish, green, high-performance electric and hybrid vehicles to a mainstream market. I recently got the chance to chat with Mays about his monumental career, and I've published our interview here. Click ahead to read the entire interview, where Mays touches on his global travels, his design ethos and influences, the current market for hybrid and electric vehicles, and what he sees for the future of zero-emissions vehicles, both at Ford and on a global scale.
INHABITAT: You've been a car designer for a long time. How did you get started with your career?
J Mays: Well, that's a good question. I've been a car designer now for 32 years, so that is a long time. I started in the industry back in 1980 with Audi. Before that I started out studying journalism and I have no idea to this day why I studied journalism, but I did, and I wasn't very good at it. I wouldn't say I was flunking out of school, but I wasn't doing that well, either.
By complete accident I found myself in car design because I thought I'd like to be a commercial artist. I was in the middle of Oklahoma and didn't have a lot of information at hand. I found out that there was a school in California that would train you to become an automotive designer. Because I had a great love of cars I thought, "I can't believe that they would actually pay a grown man money to design and draw cars every day." So, that sounded like the job for me.
I went out to Art Center College of Design in Pasadena and was there from '76 until '80 and in 1980 I left and went to Audi where, more or less over the next 14 years, I had my career with a short exception of a year-and-a-half at BMW. I was with Audi until late 1994 and I left in 1994 to go into brand consultancy because I thought that was a really interesting step in possibly furthering my career.
At the time Ford Motor Company hired me, they were one of my clients—I was living in Los Angeles—and they asked me to be the Vice President of Design. So, the place that I never thought I would end up—which was Detroit—here I am. I've been with Ford now for 16 years, which I can hardly actually believe.
Ford Fusion Energi
INHABITAT: So, you went to college to study automotive design. What would be your recommendation for young, aspiring car designers?
J Mays: It's a great question, and I think I've got an answer for it. I don't know if it's a good answer, but it's the answer I always use: The more you know about the world, the better designer you are; whether you're a car designer or architect or anything else. The more you know about the world, the better your ideas will be because you just have a much broader cultural experience from which to load your gun.
The more you know about the world, the better designer you will be; whether you're a car designer or architect or anything else.
So, if you're trying to be a creative that really wants to understand various cultures around the world and understand how different kinds of customers have different kinds of requirements, nothing replaces—in my opinion—getting out of your own country and seeing as much of the world as possible. That's pretty much how I've done it. And by the way, I wouldn't say that was some sort of master plan I had out of college. This just happened to me.
Having spent more than 20 years in Europe has not only changed my life but it's also changed my perspective on how to design and what good design really is. So, I always tell people this—if there's one thing that I could recommend, it's scare the hell out of yourself and get out of your own country and go find out what's really going on in the world.
INHABITAT: That's great advice. Now, do you think people can get into auto design by studying or majoring in something else first, then going back to school later? Or is it really the type of industry where you have to go straight to a design college?
J Mays: It helps if you've got an affinity for automobiles. But my route in was actually through journalism, and then I went to design school. I think it helps when you're at a school that's as intensive as Arts Center in Pasadena or Royal College of Art in London. There's even a school here in Detroit called CCS—Center for Creative Studies. It helps if you've got a little bit of college under your belt; get that behind you before you go into an environment where you're studying design because then you're more mature, you've gotten those first couple of crazy college years behind you, and you're probably better prepared to settle down and actually do something serious with your life.
Phillip Johnson's Glass House
INHABITAT: Who would you say are your design influences and your favorite designers? In that, I include architects.
J Mays: Unfortunately most of my favorite architects are dead. So, if I kind of go through a few, some of them I love for selfish reasons and some I choose because they've had a huge influence on how I think. Particularly in respect to how they've placed their work in the world.
I had the opportunity—I should say the honor—to meet Philip Johnson before he died. He called me and wanted to meet me because he was driving an Audi TT, which I designed when I was at Audi. So, he invited me to the Seagrams Building when he was still practicing, and I went up and had about an hour with him. That's one of the most memorable things that's ever happened to me. To this day I get goose bumps thinking about it. It was just such an honor.
Phillip Johnson and Mies van der Rohe
I love Philip Johnson's Glass House, but I love Philip Johnson more for the influence he had on American architecture by bringing guys like Mies van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer into the United States, and I think he was the first one to bring Le Corbusier in. This guy's influence, just beyond the sheer building of architecture, was massive in this country. I really have a big soft spot for that whole era.
Then I suppose out on the west coast, I'm a pretty big sucker for Pierre Koenig and all of the houses he did, particularly the Stahl House. But if you look at the Glass House that Johnson did or the Stahl house that Pierre Koenig did, what I love about those is that they are pristine, pure and simple, but the reason they work is because they are placed into a position that allows the culture around them to actually be the thing that shines. That's kind of the way that I try to approach automotive design because I think cars have to be just like architecture; they have to be appropriate for the culture that they're being driven in. Long story short, those would be a few of my favorite architects.
Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water
INHABITAT: What would you say you've learned from architecture that you've applied to the design of automobiles?
J Mays: Well, just to elaborate on what I was talking about previously. I'm not a big fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, but I like his architecture. I think what Wright had in many of his designs was an uncanny ability to place the design into the appropriate cultural surroundings—Falling Water obviously being one of the best examples.
That's one of the most important things I've learned from architecture—because there's something somewhere between the influence of architects and what I started to understand as important to them—the placement of architecture within its surroundings, or its cultural environment as I call it. This is also what I see happening with film directors. Any good movie you go to see is built around a particular culture and cultural environment. This heightened consciousness gives the owner of the house, the viewer of the movie, or the owner of the car a guidepost as to what they should be expecting out of the experience from that piece of architecture, that movie or that car.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
May have found a consistent way. I keep my feet planted and it goes in. When you do that, you rely more on spin to get it there. I call it the rock stance because nothing moves except your arm. Any other advice? Is it legal to jump straight up on a close putt? I noticed when reach out to the max, sometimes my plant foot jumps up a half of an inch.
Views: 128
I local pro I played with many moons ago taught me to putt with a slight hyzer angle on the putter. You still putt dead straight (No hyzer putting). It sure doesn't seem to be effected by the headwind as much and it works well for me. Besides, it's the head and not the putter that tends to have problems with the wind :)
Yes its legal to jump straight up, as long as you don't cross your lie.
As far as my head wind putting goes I like to drop to a knee and aim at the cage, the wind lifts it into the chains. Works well for me anyway.
Wouldn't it ONLY be Legal to Jump, Even STRAIGHT up, If your Outside the Circle???? Inside the circle one foot has to stay planted and you have to "Demonstrate Balance", I thought....
Keep the nose down. Aim lower in the basket.
You would be correct there Jeff Nichols. You can not jump up inside the circle.
I see pros doing it sometimes on videos and they have never been called out for it.
To parse this a little further---plant foot has to be touching the ground when you release. You can jump afterwards. You can jump straight up before you demonstrate balance; you just can't move forward until after you've demonstrated balance.
Muddied? You could bend your knees and push into a straight-up jump, as long as you released before your plant foot left the ground. Don't know why you'd want to, but it would be legal. When you land you can demonstrate balance; even if you fall backwards you can get up, dust yourself off, demonstrate balance, then move forward.
That is a beautiful explenation. Thank You
This should answer all questions on the subject
Wow. Thanks for the Link Eric. That video, and the QA37 amendment thingy, really make it easier to understand what constitutes "Demonstrating Balance" now....
And Yes, I too have seen many Pro's Foot Fault and not get called on it...

Grilled Banh Mi at Pho Thai Hoa (Vancouver)
We've discussed on the old Western Canada forum the seeming non-existence of a hot grilled banh mi in the style of the exemplary Thi Thi in Calgary....so this was a nice little discovery for me.
The banh mi in Vancouver tends to be of the cold variety. A couple of places serve a "grilled" pork or chicken filling - but in reality it is often oven roasted shreds of meat served lukewarm - not truly grilled. This is my first real sighting of a hot banh mi with freshly grilled meat fillings in town. There could very well be other places that serve it outside my usual range...so if anyone knows of a good hot banh mi, please report! (I don't know how it compares to Thi Thi's since I have never been.)
I ordered the grilled pork and grilled chicken banh mi. The filings were definitely fresh as were the baguettes. The meats were nicely grilled with a decent amount of charring...I would have preferred much more blackening, but this was good.
Pho Thai Hoa...I forgot how good this place is. I guess I haven't been here in perhaps a year....I really need to put it back into my regular rotation. They have good pho and good bun dishes. They also have nice, new, laminated, photographic menus and a few new dishes. (Namely Com Bo Luc Lac - alert grayelf!).

re: selena03
You can usually get a "vegetarian" banh mi (shredded carrot & daikon pickle, cukes, cilantro, onion) and sometimes a "tofu" bahn mi (same as a vegetarian banh mi plus tofu puffs.)
The ones from Tung Hing (Kingsway) are pretty good. Pho Thai Hoa doesn't list a vegetarian one, but I'm sure they'll be accommodating.

re: selena03
Over at foodosophy, shokutsu just posted a blog entry about a vegetarian pho place in Burnaby...I don't know if they have vege banh mi, but its worth a try if you are in the area.
day-ammmm all kinds of banh mi listed in a row! be grateful for having access to delicious foods! :D the nearest authentic Viet food from here is France.
i like Pho Thai Hoa. went there twice on my short visit last spring but didn't have any banh mi. fried mince rolls, bun bo hue, pho and papaya salad for breakfast http://bonvivantnl.fotopic.net/p61596...
re: Pata_Negra
Nice pic of the salad. I love the stuff - especially with the jerky.
You are London-based these days Pata_Negra?
re: fmed
the jerky was a pleasant surprise. i thought i was getting the Ba Le beef jerky lol. i had the other jerky [seen in the salad] before, think it's called "kho nai" [or is it "nai kho"?], dried venison or deer meat. it comes in pressed thin sheets. there must be a source in YVR, no? i used to eat only Ba Le beef jerky by the kilo.
re: Pata_Negra
Most of the salads here seem to use Chinese ("Singapore style") pork jerky. The best example of the stuff is sold at Bee Kim Heng on Fraser St. (4194 Fraser Street). I don't think Bee Kim Heng sells venison (I'll check it out next time). You can always get the very common pre-packaged Jerky made by Richmond-based Soo. I'll have a look at a couple of Vietnamese grocers to see if they sell venison jerky. I know Ba Le does sell jerky - I haven't knowingly had it (maybe I had it in a salad?). Maybe it's time I tried it.
BTW Phnom Penh (Chinatown) serves my favourite papaya salad with jerky.
re: fmed
i looked at your Banh Mi menu photo again trying to find one with tinned sardines. i remember eating that in Saigon [the city]. it's an evening snack there. i think the sardines were a little warm, iirc. to recreate it at home i warm a tin or two in a tiny saucepan, Thai chili garlic paste is added. mop it up with baguette.
well ok, i go for the Xiu Mai one instead, please. cheers.
i've been to Phom Penh in Chinatown only once. had the noodle soup and was not impressed. would like to try other things on the menu next time as i don't want to slag it off for the one thing i ate and didn't like.
There is a place that I go to on Kingsway in Burnaby called Pho Saigon. I go there specifically for their grilled chicken banh mi. Delicious! Fresh and hot from the grill and pretty damn tasty. I haven' t tried anything else from there as the banh mi is so good I just cannot order anything else.
re: disoon
OK...I'm there!
i was there yesterday and had the grilled pork it was quite good, and definetely the most expensive bahn mi i've ever seen/paid for
re: vandan
It's $4.50 (for the benefit of the other readers). Their regular (cold) banh mi is $3.50.
re: fmed
yeah, just tried their grilled pork and their sui mai bahn mi today. it was ok, but missing chilies in ours for some reason. disappointing. don't know if it's worth the $2 premiuim over other places. even comparing with the new ba le (their fillings were chintzy), i still like tbd and perhaps chong lee on rupert the best for bahn mi.
re: flowbee
I've never tried the banh mi at Chong Lee...I live fairly close. (and TBD = Tiem Banh Dong Khanh a.k.a Tung Hing).
It's the novelty of a "hot" banh mi that had me interested. Overall, I still do like Tung Hing and Ba Le overall. I go to Tung Hing if I feel like dessert after having a sandwich. (I love their butter buns).
re: flowbee
re: vandan
(TBD = "Tiem Banh Dong Khanh" a.k.a "Tung Hing")
re: vandan
More useless information for you:
Tiem Banh means Bakery
Dong Khanh (Vietnamese...actually Đồng Khánh) = Tung Hing (romanized Chinese) - There was a Vietnamese Emperor named Dong Khanh.
There you go...something to talk about at your next cocktail party.
re: vandan
Me too.
(I've referred many people there, but often they couldn't find it because the sign says "Tiem Banh Dong Khanh" with a smaller and harder to see "Tung Hing Bakery" just beneath.)
re: fmed
'regular' banh mi everywhere [in YVR] is $3.40 these days. 20 years ago i remember it was $2.50. $3.50 = €2.55 [today's exchange rate thanks to Greece, ay.] here i can get a lousy so-called 'beer' on draft, or a lousy coffee. at $3.50 it's still a very good deal.
isn't Au Petit Cafe's fancy banh mi also $4.50?
re: Pata_Negra
Funny how the prices didn't change much in 20 yrs. Tung Hing's "House Special" banh mi was $2.75 until last November when they raised it to $3.00(?)
APC's banh mi ($4.50) has always been priced higher than the places in the east side). Understandable considering their prime Main St location vs the low-rent Kingsway.
re: fmed
imho, 4.50 is kinda pricey for banh mi . i've alway prefered the warm variety, like the ones in Calgary.
just realize that i didnt really try that many banh mi in my travels in vietnam. the cart ones i tried was ok, noticed they went a lot heavier on the liver pate.
also how come none of the pho places serve pho sate? hmmm ...

About LIM College
Help Save TAP
Participate in the "Invest in Me" Email Campaign
Starting Feb. 4, when you launch Internet Explorer on any LIM College computer terminal you will automatically be taken to the website for the "Invest in Me" email campaign.
We need your help! New York State's Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grant is a need-based financial aid program that helped more than 270 LIM College students last year. The state's Executive Budget for 2010-11 calls for cutting TAP by more than $71 million, which would reduce all future TAP awards.
We need to let our elected officials know how important it is to protect funding for the TAP program by participating in the "Invest in Me" email campaign. Your support can make a difference, as past email campaigns have helped to prevent the reduction of TAP awards!
You can also access the campaign directly here: http://ga1.org/campaign/investinme/
All LIM College students can participate and those who do so will be entered into a drawing to win a $100 American Express gift card. There will be two winners. You can participate in the TAP email campaign ONCE every weekday after 9 a.m., and with each email you send, we will give you another entry in the drawing. So the more you participate, the more chances you'll have to win.
1. You will see the "Invest in Me" campaign page every time you open Internet Explorer at LIM College. Scroll down the page to the form and fill in your information. If you live in New York State, use your home address. If you do not live in New York, use the College's address: 12 East 53rd St. New York, NY 10022.
2. Click on the "Send This Message" button. This automatically sends emails to elected officials. You can participate only ONCE each weekday. The system is reset at approximately 9 a.m. every weekday. After your messages are sent you will automatically be taken to the APC Colleges website.
3. The campaign will automatically record how many times you participate. We will use this information to determine the number of entries you will receive in the gift card raffle, which will be held on March 5.
As a community we can make a difference. Thank you for your support of TAP!

About the Book
A fun undersea romance full of captivating merboys, deep friendship, and spectacular pearls. Set in Tera Lynn Childs's fin-flicking world that began with Forgive My Fins, this 100-page digital novella focuses on Periwinkle Wentletrap, Princess Lily's best friend, and is perfect for fans of mermaids, light romance, and mythology retellings.
As Princess Lily's emissary, Peri works hard to make sure her best friend knows all the goings-on in the underwater kingdom of Thalassinia. The upcoming Sea Harvest Dance means plenty of fun for them, too, including shopping for jewels, trims, and dress-making supplies. Peri especially loves the pearls she finds at Thalassinia's marketplace—and she might be falling head over fins for Riatus, the thoughtful pearl trader who looks like a dashing pirate.
When Lily realizes her friend has a crush, she is determined to help them get together in time for the dance—except her matchmaking efforts backfire, sweeping Peri into dangerous depths and leaving her tangled in confusing tides. Should Peri give up on Riatus and find a different date to the Sea Harvest Dance, or will they finally find a way to float along in the same current?

INTERVIEW: Becky Northey and Peter "Pook" Cook on the Tree Shaping Art of Pooktre
INHABITAT: What obstacles did you face in figuring out your design process, and what methods did you try before arriving at Pooktre?
POOKTRE: There are many trees in our valley that have taught us much about tree lore—the reactions and responses that trees have to external forces. The lessons they teach are by example, incorporating their reactions into the design, making the tree's response a feature of the final outcome. "If I do this, the tree will do that." Understanding a tree's behavior makes designing far more diverse.
Our crucial discovery was the shaping zone. The shaping zone is an area of a tree that can be guided into any shape without damaging the tree. We also learned how trees can produce muscle wood to reinforce or change the orientation of their trunks and limbs, especially when they grow along waterways. Trees that grow along rivers are pushed over in floods and have the ability to stand back up, making them less fitting for shaping, especially willow trees.
For example, we were growing chairs a lot like this one. We thought growing the trees in a loop around itself would work as a way to create a junction, but five years on we started to have doubts. We harvested one of the chairs but left the other one growing. This was fortunate, since after another five years, we found that it does work and looks beautiful too. So we are always refining our process. In general though, the process is very straightforward and we can design a piece and know exactly how it will turn out or someone can show us a design and we can tell them its future.
INHABITAT: What kind of reactions do you get when people see your trees for the first time?
POOKTRE: Very few people have seen our trees here in our forest. However when our work was shown in Japan a man danced with delight in front of a people tree.

My Ghoul Friday
Check back often!
Recent Moans from the Minions...
I thought I was being a good girl by leaving my pumpkin untouched on the porch. I bought it a bit early, and while I've read that some people carve their pumpkin as early as a week ahead of the big day, my pumpkins never last that long (mainly because they spend part of their evenings in my office).
I left him on the porch to stay cool and happy.
However, the milder weather we've been having seems to have caused my pumpkin to get some moldy patches.
I rushed it inside, chopped off the bottom, carved out as much of the mold as I could, and I have him soaking in a water bath with a bit of bleach in the hope to help it stick around until at least Friday morning.
Here's what he looked like prior to his soaking in my sink ;)
Happy Halloween, folks! Two days left!
Hang on, Mr. Pumpkin.
If you've been following this blog for a while, you know I'm a fan of Joshua Hoffine's photography. I had the pleasure of meeting him and his wife (then fiancée) Jennifer a few years ago when I bought his print "Death" a few years ago.
Before you pick up that discounted copy of a B-horror film, or buy a pumkin spiced latte, or buy clearance Halloween items, let me direct you to a better cause for your $10 to be spent on.
And I say $10 specifically because I know money is tight everywhere. Believe me. I know.
But even that little bit of cash can help to support something pretty cool.
He has a kickstarter project called Black Lullaby which I just pledged $30 towards. He's in the process of making a short film inspired by his collection of photographs and needs some help with shooting the final monster appearance plus all that post production goodness. Watch the video below to learn more directly from the man himself.
While Halloween is the official night, this weekend is the star of the season when it comes to celebrating. Many people are running around trying to get last minute decorations up and grocery shopping done for their parties tonight. Others are still figuring out what to wear to these parties.
Me? A few years ago I switched my party date from Saturday to Sunday. Since my gatherings are more laid back and often include dinner, I decided to free my faithful guests from the burden of choosing which invitation to accept, or which party to leave early so they could get to the next one.
I really like the laid back feel of celebrations on a Sunday evening. And as we get older, and my friends have children and careers, I find my guests appreciate it too. They come by after 6, and folks start heading home around 10, leaving a few of us chatting until midnight.
I've run out of time to do any additional decorating. I have work, then grocery shopping. Last night I put up some last minute fun items: the red sign (top left) that reads "Hell: Where Afterlife Means Afterparty" (much more exciting than Heaven's sign of "Purgatory is Temporary. Heaven is Forever", top right).
I put up two old school black silhouettes painted on craft paper (you can see the spider bottom right). And played with lighting.
This post is dedicated to all the host and hostesses who are rushing around like maniacs today, worrying that the spider cupcakes aren't going to turn out, or regretting they didn't have enough time to get that prop in the bathtub.
Have fun tonight kiddies. Be safe.
It looks like the heavenly display is close to finished, so tonight was dedicated to getting 4 of the souls who chose Hell hung in the dining room.
Instead of using cheesecloth, I re-purposed the fabric from last year's Twin Peaks Black Lodge red waiting room. Folding, pinning, and hanging each one into various forms, I tried to get some interesting shapes and hints at stance and mass.
I think they'll look pretty cool under proper lighting.
I still have 6 more to get into place. Hopefully that will be completed tomorrow night.
Getting into that stage where it's about last minute final touches. A layer of material here. A sign there.
Some of it is still not quite right, but those should sort themselves out.
Sunday night is the big reveal.
I still have to grocery shop and put together the menu that goes along with the theme.
And then there's that pesky work thing that always gets in the way.
But for now, it's time to sleep.
I'm still adding finishing touches to the these souls, but so far I like how these simple props are turning out.
They still need proper lighting and a bit more cheesecloth, but overall I've achieved the effect I wanted with little cost.
I only had $30 to soend on this year's projects. It's a drop in the bucket compared to past years. Luckily I had picked up the paper mache masks on clearance last November. All I needed to buy was the cheesecloth.
5 packages of 15 ft lengths of cheesecloth.
Budget spent.
Everything else I had around the house including:
These would look nicer with more cheesecloth, but I think I did ok. Besides, these are not 'really ghosts, they are souls in my mind. For some reason I don't think souls have arms even in a physical manifestation, and that saved on material.
I've taken a few pictures of the process I made up as I went along. Are there better ways to build them? I am sure there are, but this worked for me and my limited resources. Let's jump into the quick how-to.
While I don't feel Heaven would promote itself to recruit souls at the end of the world like Hell would (in my imaginings, anyway), I do think they would offer their own itinerary.
Luckily, I was able to find a vintage publication advertising a revival by John Rice, the man who wrote the book that inspired this year's theme.
I've printed it out and attached it to the official sign-up-in-Heaven's-good-book I put together.
Pictures of that soon, but in the meantime, click the photo if you want to see the large original image of the revival ad.
What if Hell took a tradeshow approach to entice souls to choose the fiery pits for their eternal stay? This is what I asked myself when I read a theory that souls actually must choose hell instead of just being cast down (as I was traditionally taught in childhood).
What could Hell possibly offer that might sway spirits to their side? In a very tongue-in-cheek way, I came up with a list. I thought about not only traditional sin, but items various churches or religious institutions across the Christian bodies have banned or decried sinful.
And I've started to build a basic booth for my Halloween party theme of "Judgment Day: the Last Revival".
First thing is books (as seen in the sample here). I chose Harry Potter, To Kill A Mockingbird, Astrology, and Darwin's Theories.
Next I played with the idea of recreation: trips to Vegas, Horror Movie Nights, and classic cartoons for the kids (and the kids in all of us).
It looks like I may indeed get the house decorated in time. It's a theme that's been waiting to be brought into being since last year when I spotted this book, When Skeletons Come Out of the Closets by John R. Rice.
Here's a description of this collection of sermons:
"When Skeletons Come Out of Closets was preached in a red hot revival service. Preacher - here is the way it's supposed to be done. Christian - there is water here if your soul needs an oasis. Seeker of truth - if you are worried about life after death, about how to have peace with God--here is the answer from God's word, the Holy Bible. 'Everybody that goes to hell gets exactly what he deserves. He walks up to the ticket window and pays his own fare to hell -- in wages! But everybody that goes to heaven rides on a free pass.'"
John Richard Rice was a Baptist preacher born in Texas in 1895. He wrote more than 200 publications, apparently selling 60 million copies of his work. He had a radio show called the Voice of Revival that aired on 69 stations in 29 states, broadcasting his evangelical sermons to folks at home.
The horror movie I've been waiting for.
It's Thanksgiving weekend in Canada. I'm thankful for Halloween.
To show just how thankful I am, I spent a bit of time decorating my office.
The best part of decorating my office is that unlike the rest of the house, I feel like I can decorate any way I like. I don't care if it matches a theme or looks artistic or spooky. It's about what makes me smile. And this year, that's Disney. And neon.
A friend picked up some neon signs on clearance last year and was kind enough to send a box of them my way. I was excited to break them out and light them up.
You can see in the picture on the right the first glimpse of Disney. While waiting for some vegetables to roast, I passed the time cutting out some Mickey Bats which are ridiculously cute.
The last thing I need or can justify buying is a stuffed animal, but on my vacation I could not resist the Frankenweenie plush.
You can't leave Disney without a set of Mickey Ears. I am pretty sure security tackles you to the ground near the exit if you are earless. I decided to pick up the Jack O'lantern Mickey ears made more adorable by the fact that you can lift the stem of the pumpkin top to reveal Chip and Dale inside.
But the coolest thing is easily the Haunted Mansion Hourglass.
My self-published book is still available!
Craving more Halloween goodness?
Here are some sites to satisfy the hunger.

White City of Tel-Aviv -- the Modern Movement
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 and developed as a metropolitan city under the British Mandate in Palestine. The White City was constructed from the early 1930s until the 1950s, based on the urban plan by Sir Patrick Geddes, reflecting modern organic planning principles. The buildings were designed by architects who were trained in Europe where they practised their profession before immigrating. They created an outstanding architectural ensemble of the Modern Movement in a new cultural context.

Witte Stad van Tel Aviv – de Moderne Beweging
Tel Aviv werd opgericht in 1909 ten noorden van de ommuurde havenstad Jaffa, op de heuvels langs de oostelijke kust van de Middellandse Zee. De stad ontwikkelde zich als een metropool onder het Britse Mandaat in Palestina. De Witte Stad werd gebouwd vanaf de vroege jaren '30 tot de jaren '50 op basis van het stedenbouwkundig plan van Sir Patrick Geddes en weerspiegelde moderne organische planningsprincipes. De gebouwen zijn ontworpen door architecten die werden opgeleid in Europa, waar ze hun beroep uitoefenden voordat zij naar Israël emigreerden. Ze creëerden een buitengewoon architectonisch complex van de Moderne Beweging binnen een nieuwe culturele context.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The city of Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 to the immediate north of the walled port city of Jaffa, on the hills along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. During the era of British rule in Palestine (1917-1948) it developed into a thriving urban centre, becoming Israel's foremost economic and metropolitan nucleus.
The serial property consists of three separate zones, the central White City, Lev Hair and Rothschild Avenue, and the Bialik Area, surrounded by a common buffer zone.
The White City of Tel Aviv can be seen as an outstanding example in a large scale of the innovative town-planning ideas of the first part of the 20th century. The architecture is a synthetic representation of some of the most significant trends of Modern Movement in architecture, as it developed in Europe. The White City is also an outstanding example of the implementation of these trends taking into account local cultural traditions and climatic conditions.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 and developed rapidly under the British Mandate in Palestine. The area of the White City forms its central part, and is based on the urban master plan by Sir Patrick Geddes (1925-27), one of the foremost theorists in the early modern period. Tel Aviv is his only large-scale urban realization, not a 'garden city', but an urban entity of physical, economic, social and human needs based on an environmental approach. He developed such innovative notions as 'conurbation' and 'environment', and was pioneer in his insight into the nature of city as an organism constantly changing in time and space, as a homogeneous urban and rural evolving landscape. His scientific principles in town planning, based on a new vision of a 'site' and 'region', influenced urban planning in the 20th century internationally. These are issues that are reflected in his master plan of Tel Aviv.
The buildings were designed by a large number of architects, who had been trained and had practised in various European countries. In their work in Tel Aviv, they represented the plurality of the creative trends of modernism, but they also took into account the local, cultural quality of the site. None of the European or North-Africa realizations exhibit such a synthesis of the modernistic picture nor are they at the same scale. The buildings of Tel Aviv are further enriched by local traditions; the design was adapted to the specific climatic conditions of the site, giving a particular character to the buildings and to the ensemble as a whole.
Criterion (ii): The White City of Tel Aviv is a synthesis of outstanding significance of the various trends of the Modern Movement in architecture and town planning in the early part of the 20th century. Such influences were adapted to the cultural and climatic conditions of the place, as well as being integrated with local traditions.
Criterion (iv): The White City of Tel Aviv is an outstanding example of new town planning and architecture in the early 20th century, adapted to the requirements of a particular cultural and geographic context.
The spirit of the Geddes plan has been well preserved in the various aspects of urban design (morphology, parcelling, hierarchy and profiles of streets, proportions of open and closed spaces, green areas). The urban infrastructure is intact, with the exception of Dizengoff Circle, where traffic and pedestrian schemes have been changed, although efforts are being made to reinstate the original plan Incremental changes could affect the integrity of the urban ensemble in the future. There are some visible changes in the buffer zone due to new construction and commercial development in the 1960s-1990s including some office and residential structures that are out of scale. The White City is encapsulated inside a ring of high-rise structures, which has obviously altered the initial relationship with its context. Any further development could impact on its visual integrity.
The authenticity of architectural design has been fairly well preserved, proven by homogeneous visual perception of urban fabric, the integrity of style, typology, character of streets, relationship of green areas and urban elements, including, fountains, pergolas and gardens. The details of entrance lobbies, staircases, railings, wooden mailboxes, front and apartment doors, window frames have generally not been changed, though there are some losses - as in most historic towns.
The design of some individual buildings has been modified through rooftop additions even in registered buildings. Although within certain limits, such additions could be perceived as part of traditional continuity, to keep Tel Aviv as a vibrant, living city, attention will need to be given to ensure, the quantity of remodelled buildings is not enough to alter the urban profile, the original scale or parameters of the site.
Protection and management requirements
Management is covered and incorporated in urban and territorial plans. These include the National Master Plan TaMA 35, with the relevant section 58 on the 'Urban Conservation Ensemble in Central Tel Aviv - Jaffa', and the Regional Master Plan TMM 5 providing the main planning instrument for the Tel Aviv conservation area. Management policies include programmes to encourage tourist activities, provide information, and placing an emphasis on conservation. It would be desirable to consider the possibility to provide legal protection at the national level to recent heritage.
Deposited in 2002, Conservation Plan (2650B) was approved in 2008. As the majority of the approximately 1,000 historic buildings identified in this document, and other focused local plans, are privately owned, a strategy allowing the transfer of building rights has been implemented to compensate for the loss of those rights. This specifically includes the stringent conditions applying to 180 buildings to which no changes are allowed. Within defined limitations, the application of permitted additional floors to the other remaining protected buildings has been allowed.
A special process has been established for the evaluation, approval and supervision of building permits and construction within the inscribed area. This is managed and controlled by the Municipality's Conservation Unit that currently employs eight trained architects. With the intention of providing measures to improve the control of changes in existing fabric, in view of existing real estate pressures, development trends are continually monitored by the Municipality.
With reference to the Operational Guidelines Annex 3 (concerning New Towns of the 20th century) it is essential for the city of Tel Aviv to ensure moderated and controlled growth in the historic core area. Accordingly, height limits are to be proposed for the property and its buffer zone.
Long Description
The White City of Tel-Aviv is a synthesis of outstanding significance of the various trends of the Modern Movement in architecture and town planning in the early part of the 20th century. Such influences were adapted to the cultural and climatic conditions of the place, as well as being integrated with local traditions.
Tel Aviv developed to the north of the city of Jaffa, on the hills along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. The property consists of three selected urban areas were built in the 1930s, based on the urban master plan by the British architect Patrick Geddes. The Geddes plan identified an area that was conceived as a 'garden city,' but with a more urban character than those built earlier. There was a free-standing building on each lot, surrounded by a garden, and the ground plan should not be more than one-third of the lot. The development of Tel Aviv follows a succession of urban plans, starting from ancient Jaffa, and including the historic quarters of Neve Zedek (1896), Achuzat Bayit (1909), the Red City, Lev Hayir and, finally, the White City of Tel-Aviv (1931-47).
Historically, the beginning is marked by the construction of Neve Zedek, with two-storey sandstone buildings with tiled roofs in traditional styles built on a hill sloping towards the sea: this became the first nucleus of Tel Aviv. The Red City, developed to the east, consists mostly of eclectic-style buildings with tiled roofs. Lev Hayir (the core of present-day Tel Aviv) and its surroundings extend to the north. It is mainly built in international style, a succession of three- to five-storey buildings with gardens. The Central White City, to the north and built according to the Geddes Plan, has clearly marked residential zones and business areas. The centre is on the highest point, the Circus of Zina Dizengoff with the Habima Theatre, a museum pavilion, and the Mann Auditorium. The buildings are mainly three to four storeys high, with flat roofs, plaster rendering, some decorative features, and the colour scheme ranging from cream to white. The Northern White City, beyond the Ben Gurion Boulevard, was built somewhat later. The western part is similar to the Central White City, not until 1948. The eastern part dates from the late 1940s to 1960s, and it was built to lower standards, in a period of recession. The southern section of the Northern White City is included in the buffer zone.
The three zones have a consistent representation of Modern Movement architecture, although they differ in character. Zone B was built in the early 1930s, and zone A mainly from the 1930s to the early 1940s. Zone C, the Bialik district, represents local architecture from the 1920s on, with examples of Art Deco and eclecticism, but also a strong presence of 'white architecture'. This small area represents a selection of buildings that became landmarks in the development of the regional language of Tel Aviv's modernism. The buildings reflect influences from the Bauhaus, Le Corbusier and Erich Mendelsohn. The buildings are characterized by the implementation of the Modernist ideas into the local conditions. The large glazed surfaces of European buildings are reduced to relatively small and strip window openings, more suitable for the hot weather. Many buildings have pilotis, as in Le Corbusier's design, allowing the sea breeze to come through. Other elements include the brise-soleil to cut direct sunlight; the deep balconies served the same purpose, giving shade, as well as adding to the plasticity of the architecture. The flat roofs were paved and could be used for social purposes. A characteristic feature is the use of curbed corners and balconies, expressive of Mendelsohn's architecture. The buildings also include a certain amount of local elements, such as cupolas. The most common building material was reinforced concrete; it had been used since 1912, being suitable for less-skilled workers. Other materials were also introduced, such as stone cladding for the external surfaces, and metal. There was some use of decorative plasters, although decoration became a matter of carefully detailed functional elements, such as balcony balustrades, flower boxes and canopiesSource: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
The Jewish population living in the Ottoman Palestine at the end of the 19th century had mainly come from Spain in the 16th century. Following the First World War, the Palestine territories became a British mandate in 1920. Due to growing anti-Semitism in Europe, large groups of Jewish immigrants started arriving to Palestine in the early 20th century, first from Russia and Poland, and then again from 1933 onwards. The political movement advocating the re-establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, opposing the Diaspora, has been called Zionism.
Tel Aviv's origins go back to the Ottoman Jaffa, a walled city in the midst of agricultural land in the early 19th century. Towards the end of the century, also due to the construction of Suez Canal, Jaffa developed into a commercial harbour, as well as being the port for pilgrims to the Holy Land. A decree of 1856 allowed foreigners to acquire land, which led to the development of suburban areas. The first Jewish settlement north of Jaffa was Neve Zedek, founded in 1887-96. In 1908-09, a group of affluent merchants established Achuzat Bayit as a garden suburb, later named Tel Aviv.
From 1920 to 1925, Tel Aviv's population grew from 2,000 to 34,000, and the construction followed a variety of styles, combined with local Oriental motives. The first master plan (1921) for a new settlement was prepared by Richard Kauffmann. The Scottish architect Patrick Geddes designed a new plan in 1925, which was ratified in 1927 and approved with amendments in 1938. The construction started in the early 1930s; the designers were the newly immigrated architects who had been formed in Europe, and who implemented here the modernist vision. At the same time, the trends in Europe were changing due to new political situations.
The main influences to modernist architecture in Tel Aviv came from the teachings of the Bauhaus (19 architects had studied at the Bauhaus school), and from the examples of Le Corbusier and Erich Mendelsohn. The architects included Joseph Neufeld and Carl Rubin who worked with Mendelsohn, who was a friend of Richard Kauffmann's. Arie Sharon, Shmuel Mistechkin, and Shlomo Bernstein studied at the Bauhaus school; Sam Barkai and Shlomo Bernstein worked in Le Corbusier's office, and Ze'ev Rechter studied in Paris. Dov Karmi, Genia Averbuch, and Benjamin Anekstein were amongst those who studied in Gent and Brussels; others were influenced by Terragni and Pagano in Italy. Mendelsohn worked in Israel from 1934 to 1942 (mainly in Haifa and Jerusalem).Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

- people in the U.S. have this name View Doris Howley on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
From the classical Greek ethnic name meaning 'Dorian woman'. The Dorians were one of the tribes of Greece; their name was traditionally derived from an ancestor, Dōros (son of Hellen, who gave his name to the Hellenes, i.e. the Greek people as a whole), but it is more likely that Dōros (whose name could be from dōron 'gift') was invented to account for a tribal name of obscure origin. In Greek mythology, Doris was a minor goddess of the sea, the consort of Nereus and the mother of his daughters, the Nereids or sea-nymphs, who numbered fifty (in some versions, more). The name was especially popular from about 1880 to about 1930, and was borne by the American film star Doris Day (b. 1924 as Doris Kappelhoff), among others.

English (chiefly Yorkshire): habitational name from any of various places so called, for example in Cheshire, Gloucestershire, and West Yorkshire. The first is from a lost place in Lower Bebington, named from Old English hol 'hollow' + weg 'way'; the second is from Old English hol + lēah 'woodland clearing'; and the last, Howley Hall in Moreley, is from Old English hōfe 'ground ivy' + lēah.

text: Le Moyne College Fund PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY Every year Le Moyne College strives to keep the cost of a transformative education accessible to the diverse student body. The cost of a Le Moyne education is about $46,200 per year –including tuition, fees, room, board, and personal expenses such as travel and books. This is a daunting price tag for many families struggling in this challenging economy. We need the support of alumni and the community to make Le Moyne possible for deserving students. 90% of Le Moyne students receive financial aid and 25% of undergraduates are first-generation college students. Donations to the LMC Fund help to ensure that they are not denied the benefit of a Le Moyne education simply because they cannot afford it. TRANSFORM LIVES At Le Moyne, the college journey isn't just about making the grade. It's about making connections, pursuing experiences, and developing a toolbox for critical thinking. Le Moyne's students benefit from a rigorous common core that nurtures inquiry and awareness of transformative ideas. Infused with the principles of the Jesuit tradition, the core prepares students by educating the whole person. It begins in the classroom. That is where Le Moyne students start to question, encounter, discover and form bonds with faculty members and classmates to last a lifetime. The College has a student-to-faculty ratio of 13:1. That makes a difference. Le Moyne Professors can speak not just to their students' performance in the classroom, but also to their dreams for the future. When students put what they have learned in the classroom to work- as they conduct research, study abroad or complete an internship, something deep inside them "clicks." These experiences out of the classroom aid students in strengthening their skills, gaining confidence in their abilities, and building their professional networks. They are critical to what we do here at Le Moyne. Donor support keeps class sizes small and provides research and service-learning experiences that shape students into tomorrow's world leaders. Planned Giving You don't have to use cash to make your gift — you can give us appreciated securities instead, and use an asset that costs you less than the tax deduction you'll get for it today. You may be holding assets that would benefit the College more than they do you — such as a life insurance policy that you no longer need, a parcel of real estate like a second home or undeveloped land, or a collection of books or artwork that you no longer have room to display. You can make a gift that costs you nothing during your lifetime — make us a beneficiary of your will or revocable trust, or a beneficiary of your retirement plan, and leave your cash flow and current financial planning uninterrupted. You can make the College a partner in your giving — you can deed us your home but continue to live there, you can sell us property at a charitable discount, and you can make a gift that pays you lifetime income.

When you're using the backhoe, does it have enough weight or leverage to keep YOU in one place while it digs? Looks like a nice tool for all the trenching I do!

More pics
Hey Scott.
WOW. As a self proclaimed gearhead (my wife calls me that too, but she's usually not smiling), the pics of your Malibu got me going. It's nice to see people still building the good cars, and not spending 10's of thousands to try to make their imported 'stuff' go fast. Is it pro street, or strictly for the track? I'd love to see more pics if you have any.
And the hoe is cool too. Got build me one, just so that I can one-up the neighbors.

My Stuff
Mac, you are correct, the machine is light weight. I find this a plus. Sometimes if you have very hard soil it takes a bit to get started. Once you "break" the ground, it dig very well. I don't have anything to compare it to though. I have only used my backhoe nothing else. It is important for the stabalizers to dig in to hold it back. I have dug sewer lines to repair them, and the sides of a house to fix a leak. It worked very well for both.
When I get a little more time I will post some picks of the sewer line I dug.
Silver, the Malibu started out being built for the road. I never actually completed it. I sold it to a freind of my dad's so I could buy my first house. He finished it as a strip only car. It hooks hard and goes straight, yanking the front wheels about 6-8" off the ground. I was quite young when I built it. I also built a 1978 Regal that was tubbed as well. This car I did complete. It had a 396 BBC. It was my first Tub job, I was 16 or 17 when I started it, it was completed in about a year. When I get a chance I will dig up some more pics. Check back.....

skid steer
I built a Rube Goldberg loader quick and dirty to keep me from building a Cadtrac. You may be interested to see both of them: http://flickr.com/photos/21702692@N05/2102196365/
I wanted a tractor that didn't dig up the ground and was small. Rube Goldberg got kind of big--no plans either. You have to be careful with skid steers. You might think about some tracks for yours.

A really interesting IDC study, titled "The Hyperconnected: Here They Come" was released this month which talks about the exploding "culture of connectivity" and the implications that hyper-connectivity has on the enterprise and business practices.
Whilst on a fact finding mission, another interesting point that I came across is that the global mobile workforce continues to grow unabated – IDC expects the global mobile worker population to increase from 758.6 million in 2006 to more than 1 billion in 2011, representing just over 30 percent of the worldwide workforce. [see more details here]
The thing that really struck a chord with me is that we are becoming a generation addicted to connectivity. We are seeing our younger colleagues enter the workforce as 'digital natives' (an idea widely discussed by Peter Sheahan) – they only understand communication via IM, email, text messaging, social networking and so forth. This is the 'conventional' that they seek and the 'unconventional' that the rest of us are all so keen to adopt. Today, we are spending more time connected and switched on in both our personal and work lives – so much so that we are now seeing a blurring between the two.
More and more people are starting to leverage Web 2.0 tools in business (a term coined Enterprise 2.0) such as shared wikis, IM and social networks in order to better facilitate information sharing and collaboration between workers and provide a competitive edge to those businesses that embrace it.
I think we will see Enterprise 2.0 increasingly extend beyond the office as wireless technologies such as in-built 3G, WiFi and WiMAX become faster and more efficient for business users to access personal internet on-the-go, and as mobile devices become sleeker and lighter for users to carry with them.
The IDC study predicts that "hyperconnected business users will likely rise to 40 percent in five years". Another five years down the track, I am sure we will see a substantial increase on this figure. Application and web developers, mobile device/ notebook manufacturers and telecommunications providers will need to cater towards making this hyper-connected experience for users a more seamless one.
Watch this space!

of retail CEOs are looking to China for growth this year.
of consumer goods CEOs are looking to China for growth this year.
Use the data explorer to browse through additional industry data.
While many retail and consumer goods CEOs in our survey view organic growth in existing domestic markets as their main opportunity for growth in the next year (39% and 29% respectively), they are keeping a keen eye on emerging markets too - expecting operations there to expand.
Shift to emerging markets continues, but the US still a force
Consumer goods companies were some of the pioneers in emerging markets; retailers aren't yet as entrenched, but many are headed in that direction. Countries that both retail and consumer goods CEOs see as key for growth are China, Brazil and Russia - all in the top five, with China leading the way. Retail CEOs are also looking to Indonesia and Vietnam as places where they can cash in on a growing middle class; those countries were ranked 6th and 7th by retail CEOs. Consumer goods CEOs see a similar opportunity in Colombia, which they ranked 6th.
The other two countries in the top five for both retail and consumer goods CEOs? The US and Germany.
Connecting with 'connected' customers
Social media, smart phones, online shopping...consumers' spending habits and behaviours are changing rapidly, and that's keeping many retail CEOs awake at night. In fact, 37% are 'extremely concerned' about such shifts, and the same number are 'somewhat concerned'. What's more, more than four out of five retail and consumer goods CEOs say their companies will change their strategies for customer growth and retention/ loyalty over the next year. For 43% of retailers, the changes planned will be 'major.' 'Enhancing customer service' remains a top priority for 53% of them - far more than the 38% in the total sample.
At the same time, fewer retail and consumer goods CEOs see the speed of technological change as cause for concern, as compared to our overall sample. That may suggest that they see customers' use of new technology as more of an opportunity than a risk.
Using social media to connect
Many of these customers – and potential customers - are hooked on the participatory experience that social media provides. A separate PwC research study recently found that almost half of online shoppers say they're looking at social media sites every day. Social media can help build a company's brand and reputation, and CEOs know that creating a distinct experience pays off. So it's not surprising that 57% of consumer goods CEOs and 61% of retail CEOs say that social media users are affecting their strategy, and the large majority of these CEOs plan to increase efforts to reach out.
Raw materials shortages looming
It's no secret that prices for both raw materials and energy are on the rise, and 29% of consumer goods CEOs are 'extremely concerned' that these costs could hinder growth. In fact, nearly two out of five plan to increase their investment in securing natural resources over the next three years. And, for 19% of consumer goods CEOs, securing raw materials or components is one of their top investment priorities for the coming year. On the other hand, most retail CEOs (78%) plan a 'decrease or no increase in investment' over the next three years to secure natural resources. This suggests, wisely or unwisely, that they may be counting on supply chain partners to pick up the slack. That being said, more retail CEOs believe that their supply chain partners have a 'significant influence' on their business strategy (51% as opposed to 32% in the overall survey.) And 46% of those who feel that way plan for 'some change' in strengthening their engagement programme.
