I noticed last night. How odd of Apple. Weird that we were just talking about it yesterday. I do find it odd that it is always so 'candy coated'. I mean if you read the description of the updates everytime there is an improvement to the OpenGL driver. Ha. And the last bullet is always 'security update'. Good thing my Quartz display is constantly being optimized.
Regardless, just another little 16MB rollup.
Civilization. The death of dreams.

I visited with an IBCLC nurse and found a few helpful suggestions. She had a "My Brest Friend" pillow that I really liked, so I just ordered one today. I still have to add a pillow under his head, but I liked the way he didn't roll forward towards me the way he does with a Boppy. Also, she suggested a steroid/antifungal cream (nystatin/triamcinolone) for healing cracks (she didn't think the nipples were infected and suspected that overuse of the APNO may have been causing irritation). So I have been using that during the night; you do have to rinse it off, and during the day using coconut oil to keep nipples moist (drying them increases the pain when the dry skin deforms when he first latches on).
I do experience vasospasms that are also painful. The IBCLC nurse suggested Vitamin B6, as some mothers find relief. I also take ibuprofen if it's hurting bad. I notice them happening more after a painful feed, less with feeds where there's a good latch.
Also, I've been working on propping him with lots of pillows. He forms a good latch most of the time. Sometimes I still experience him pinching or smashing the nipple, always on the right (today was a bad day for this, but yesterday was perfect). I don't think this is due to a forceful letdown, as this breast produces less than the L and I don't hear him gulping when he smashes the nipple. He can make a good latch and have a good feed if he wants. I'm trying to figure out what, exactly, changes this. So far, no luck, just trying to make the best of it and hang in there. I'm starting to feel more hopeful about breastfeeding.

WM6010, New October 1994
Used oil has been banned from disposal in all Missouri landfills since Jan. 1, 1991. All used oil must be managed in a way that does not adversely affect human health or the environment or create a public nuisance. Disposal of used oil into wastewater systems, down storm drains or on the ground causes needless damage to water resources and wastes a valuable renewable resource. The use of used oil as a dust suppressant on a road, parking lot, driveway or similar surface is also prohibited.
A responsible way to manage used oil is through a community "do-it-yourselfer" (DIY) used oil collection program. It is important to keep up to date on local, state and federal regulations and how they may affect the operation of your collection program. Used oil that is recycled will not be classified as a hazardous waste in Missouri. Federal recycled used oil management standards have been adapted by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR). Recycling includes re-processing, re-refining or burning used oil for energy recovery. Used oil that cannot be or is not intended to be recycled in accordance with the recycled used oil management standards must be managed as a hazardous waste.
Community DIY used oil collection centers must comply with standards set by the MDNR. They are required to:
The site for a DIY used oil collection center can be a city- or county-owned facility, fire station, landfill or transfer station, recycling center, or even a privately owned business.
Licensed used oil disposal companies that serve Missouri will retrieve oil from 55-gallon drums or larger collection tanks. The ideal design for a community DIY used oil collection program is a large, double-walled tank (150 to 275 gallon), with a screened and covered drainage area, surrounded by an impervious containment area in case of spillage. Some companies provide large tanks for a one-time or yearly rental fee. (See Designs 1 and 2 of used oil collection tanks.)
Design 1Sample oil collection tank design.
Design 2aTypical used oil tank dimensions.
Design 2bConcrete containment area.
Design 2cFill box detail.
Design 2dSide view.
Scanning incoming used oil with a halogen detector can prevent unwanted contamination of the used oil collection tank. Halogen detectors are hand-held devices that detect the presence of added hazardous substances which contain halogens, such as pesticides and solvents. Halogen detectors can be purchased through safety equipment suppliers, starting at about $100. MDNR requires used oil transporters to determine the total halogen content of the used oil. If the total halogen content is above 1,000 ppm, the used oil may be regulated as a hazardous waste.
Non-biodegradable absorbents, such as cat-box filler or a commercial product, should be kept on hand for cleaning up minor spills.
Personal protection equipment should be provided for staff, including protective clothing, nitrile gloves and chemical splash goggles.
Because a DIY collection program could be liable for any collected used oil that is disposed of improperly, you must ensure that the used oil is picked up by a responsible, licensed transporter and sent to a reputable recycler or disposal facility. In choosing a used oil transporter or management company, make certain the company:
Contact the MDNR for a list of transporters licensed to haul used oil in Missouri and for a list of approved facilities that re-process, re-refine or burn used oil for energy recovery. Also contact the MDNR to check a company's compliance history.
You may also want to check with the following sources:
Checking sources and choosing a used oil transporter and management company can be time-consuming. Begin your research long before you need to transport the used oil. Careful selection is essential to minimizing liability.
Used oil may either be re-refined for use as a lubricant or burned as a fuel. Only a small percentage of the total collected used oil is re-refined. The majority of used oil is burned in industrial furnaces, cement kilns or other burners. Oil used as fuel must be processed to remove insoluble contaminants and water. Your selection of a management company may determine how your used oil is managed.
Generators are allowed to burn used oil in used oil-fired space heaters, provided that the heaters burn only used oil that they generated or collected from householders. These used oil burners must be designed to have a maximum capacity of 0.5 million Btu per hour, and the combustion gases must be vented to the ambient air.
Materials contaminated with used oil from which the used oil has been removed to the extent that no visible signs of free-flowing oil remain are not regulated as used oil, provided that they are not burned for energy recovery. If the material exhibits the characteristics of a hazardous waste or is contaminated with a listed hazardous waste, it must be managed as hazardous waste. If the material is not hazardous and has no signs of free-flowing liquid, it may be accepted for disposal at a sanitary landfill in compliance with the Missouri Solid Waste Management Law and Regulations. The MDNR retains the authority to require special waste approval for this type of waste.
Typical examples of oil-contaminated materials include absorbents used to clean up minor spills, oil-contaminated soil, oily shop rags and dirt or grease from drain traps or other similar devices. The used oil drained or removed from these materials must be managed as a used oil.
Used oil filters can contain up to 1 quart of used oil and pose an environmental threat if improperly disposed. Some companies will accept used oil filters for disposal or recycling. These are collected, either crushed or uncrushed, in a small drum. Disposal fees are calculated by the drum. Crushing the oil filters allows more filters per drum, thereby reducing disposal costs. Crushing or shredding oil filters also allows more thorough removal of the used oil. Check with your used oil disposal company to determine if it accepts oil filters, how it will accept them and how the company disposes of or recycles them.
If oil filter collection is not an option in your area, householders should be instructed to properly drain oil filters. A well-drained filter is one that has been punctured and drained for a minimum of 12 hours near engine operating temperature and above room temperature. All oil collected from the filter should be managed with other used oil. Well-drained oil filters may be sent to a sanitary landfill for disposal.

Game 20 - UIC (10-8, 4-3) at Valparaiso (13-6, 4-3) - Thursday, January 24, 2008 - 7:05 p.m.
The Matchup: Valparaiso continues Horizon League action tonight with a game against regional rival UIC. The two squads enter the contest tied for fourth in the league standings. The series between the Crusaders and Flames dates back to the 1945-46 season, but the two teams have not met on the hardwood in the last ten years. After 35 all-time meetings, UIC holds a 26-9 advantage in the series.
Last Meeting: Valparaiso led UIC, 26-25, at the half in a matchup at the UIC Pavilion on December 13, 1998, but the Flames pulled away in the second half, eventually claiming a 72-51 victory. The Crusaders extended their lead to as many as three points early in the second stanza, and following an 11-2 UIC run, scored five straight points to cut their deficit to three points at 39-36. But the Flames erupted from there, going on a 22-5 run over the next eight minutes to put away the game. Bryce Drew led the Crusaders with 15 points, but was held to just four field goals.
Last Time Out: Valparaiso cut Cleveland State's lead to as few as four points on multiple occasions in the second half Saturday night in Cleveland, Ohio, but the Vikings would not let the Crusaders get any closer and went on to win by a 69-63 count. Coming out of the locker room trailing by seven to start the second half, Jake Diebler hit a 3-pointer to cut the Viking advantage to four points. Cleveland State responded with six straight points to extend the lead to double digits for the first time with 17:24 remaining, but Valpo's Shawn Huff hit back-to-back triples for the Crusaders to bring the team back to within 36-32. The Vikings answered with another 6-0 spurt to extend the lead back to double digits, and would not lead by less than six from that point on. Huff paced the Crusaders with 14 points while also adding a team-best six rebounds. Brandon McPherson added 12 points and four assists.
On the Air: Today's game, like every game this season, can be heard live on the Valpo Sports Radio Network, a four-station entity carrying Crusader athletics all over Northwest Indiana, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Originating from WVUR, 95.1 FM in Valparaiso, the Valpo Sports Radio Network also includes WEFM, 95.9 FM in Michigan City; WAKE, 1500 AM in Valparaiso; and WWLO, 89.1 FM in Lowell. Veteran broadcaster Todd Ickow returns for his 17th season on play-by-play, while WVUR's Adam Amin will handle the color commentary. The game can also be seen on the internet through the Horizon League Network, or throughout Chicagoland on Lakeshore Public Television, with Dick Harlan and Joe Arredondo on the call.
There's No Place Like Home: While the Crusaders had their 13-game home winning streak snapped against Milwaukee earlier this year, they still enjoy a tremendous home-court advantage at the Athletics-Recreation Center. Since the ARC opened prior to the 1984-85 season, the Crusaders are 210-92 (.695) at home, including a sterling 156-27 (.852) mark over the last 15 years. The program record for longest winning streak at the ARC is a 20-game stretch spanning the 2001-02 and 2002-03 seasons, while the just-snapped streak was the fifth longest in program history.
Close Games the Norm: Last weekend, the Crusaders played two Horizon League games decided by six points, winning at Youngstown State by a 67-61 score before falling at league leader Cleveland State, 69-63. The tight finishes have been the norm for Valpo so far in its first year of Horizon League play, as entering this week, six of the team's seven league contests had been decided by single digits. The Crusaders are not alone in playing close games in the Horizon League, however, as every school has taken part in at least four games decided by single digits.
All About the Ratings: Valparaiso's move to the Horizon League has proven to be a win-win for both parties in a number of rating systems so far this year. Valpo is currently 59th in the RPI, one of four HL squads in the top-100 nationally, and the league is ranked tenth. In the Sagarin ratings, the Crusaders sit 67th, while the Horizon ranks tenth among the 31 Division I leagues.
Bringing Experience With Them: The Crusaders make the step up to the Horizon League with a core group of experienced players. Valpo returns eight of 11 players who took the court last season, including each of its top seven scorers. 93.6% of last year's scoring, 86.6% of last year's rebounding and 90.4% of last year's minutes played are back for the 2007-08 campaign, the highest returning percentage in each category among Horizon League squads.
Shooting From 19'9": Valparaiso has proven to be one of the nation's best 3-point shooting teams so far this season. The Crusaders are connecting on 40.2% of their attempts from behind the arc, 23rd best among the 341 Division I teams. The team average of 9.5 made 3-pointers per game is good for ninth nationally as well. It's not just one player that has been a threat for Valpo from behind the arc either, as the team's top four 3-point shooters are all averaging better than one make per game and are all connecting on at least 43% of their attempts from downtown.
Best Start: Nine conference championships. Seven NCAA Tournament appearances. A magical run to the Sweet 16. 302 wins. These are just some of the accomplishments that Crusader head coach Homer Drew and his players had piled up during Drew's first 18 seasons at the helm of the Valpo men's basketball program. But none of Drew's teams had accomplished what this year's squad did: winning ten of the season's first 11 games. The previous best start under Drew came from the 1996-1997 team, which started 9-2 in its first 11 contests.
Moving Up the Charts, Part 1: A number of current Crusader players are moving up various career record charts this year. Senior guard Jarryd Loyd moved into eighth place on Valpo's career assist chart at Youngstown State, and now has 337 career helpers. Meanwhile, sophomore guard Samuel Haanpää and senior forward Shawn Huff are both within striking distance of Valpo's all-time top-10 in career 3-point field goals. Huff has made 123 3-pointers and Haanpää has made 122 career triples, while tenth place on the current chart is Jim Ford with 128 triples.
Moving Up the Charts, Part 2: Valpo's proficiency from behind the three-point line the past few years can be seen in the program's all-time three-point percentage chart. Three current Crusaders are among the top-10 most accurate shooters from behind the arc in team history. Haanpää has maintained his hold on the top spot, hitting 44.9% from behind the arc for his career. Huff has moved up from ninth to sixth on the chart with 41.4% accuracy, while Loyd is right behind him at 41.2%.
One Finn Starts Strong...: Samuel Haanpää single-handedly jumpstarted the Crusaders' offense Saturday night against Green Bay. The sophomore scored 17 of Valpo's first 19 points, spanning the opening 6:32 of the ballgame. Haanpää hit six of his first eight shots, including three 3-pointers, and added two old-fashioned three-point plays.
...and The Other Finnishes: Haanpää's fellow Finn, Shawn Huff, has had big second halfs in Valpo's last two victories. Huff had 16 points, including a 3-pointer with 2:30 to play to put Valpo ahead for good, in the second stanza against Green Bay. He followed last Thursday against Youngstown State with 13 second-half points, going 5-for-6 from the field.
Spreading the Wealth: This year's Crusaders have spread the ball around on the offensive end of the court, as three players are averaging in double figures, while three others are scoring at least 8.6 points per game. Six different players have scored in double figures in at least five games for Valpo, with Shawn Huff leading the way with 12 double-figure outputs.
Hitting From the Stripe: Valpo enjoyed its third-best effort at the free throw line this season on Thursday, connecting on 76.5% of its attempts from the stripe, and followed with six makes on seven attempts at Cleveland State Saturday. The Crusaders, while hitting at just a 66.5% clip from the line on the season, have been almost automatic in the final four minutes in league play, connecting on 82.4% (28-of-34) of their attempts.
Handling the Basketball: The Crusaders got a shot at the basket on almost every possession Jan. 12 against Green Bay, dishing out 17 assists and committing just five turnovers. Valpo point guards Jarryd Loyd and Brandon McPherson combined for 11 assists and did not commit a turnover. For Valpo, it was the fewest number of turnovers in a game since it committed just five miscues Dec. 9, 1991 against Notre Dame.
Half of Dominance: Valparaiso put together one of its most dominating halves of basketball in recent history against Indiana Wesleyan on Jan. 2. The Crusaders outscored the Wildcats by a 58-15 margin in the second half, hitting 61.3% of their shots for the half and allowing IWU to hit just 21.2%. Five different Valpo players had at least eight points in the second 20 minutes, and the Crusaders put together runs of 13-0, 10-0, 14-0 and 17-0 during the half.
Haanpää's Magical Night: Sophomore guard Samuel Haanpää enjoyed one of the best performances in Crusader history Dec. 15 against Chicago State, breaking current associate head coach Bryce Drew's team record for 3-pointers in a game. Haanpää knocked down 10 triples in the contest, matching the most by any Division I player against a D-I opponent this year. He also set a new career high with 32 points in the 90-61 victory.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
Sometimes I will see this little ditty on the marquee of a church: "The family that prays together - stays together." There is a lot of truth to that statement. I suspect that it was true of the household of Stephanas. Not only did they pray together, but they also poured their lives into serving the church at Corinth together.

Justice Web Advisory Board Inaugural Meeting
Chicago-Kent hosted the inaugural meeting of the Justice Web Collaboratory Advisory Board on April 1, 2000. The advisory board consists of a diverse group of judges from across the country. Amongst its ranks are Chief Judges from the Court of Appeals of two federal districts, Appeals Judges from two states, the Chief Judge of the Navajo Nation Supreme Court, and several state Superior and Circuit Court Judges. In addition, several guests joined the advisory board's discussions, including representatives from the American Judges Association, Judicial Division of the American Bar Association, Federal Judges Association, and the Office of Justice Programs, Department of Justice.
Chairman, Associate Justice George Nicholson from the California Third District Courts of Appeal, opened discussions by challenging the participants to assist in changing the way judges think about technology and educate judges on the implications of technology on the bench and in chambers. This challenge resonated throughout the days discussions which can be broken down into several themes: (i) good governance; (ii) education; (iii) collaboration; (iv) public access to the courts; and, (v) information integration. All of the participants left the meeting encouraged by the possibilities for judicial education, collaboration, and excited about providing judicial leadership for the Office of Judicial Programs' National Integration Resource Center.
By the end of the day, it was clear to all that attended that the Advisory Board meeting brought together a team of judges that were willing to dream, work together, and help one another, their respective courts, and, indeed, all the judges and courts of the nation, to look higher and reach further, technologically, in coming years.
For additional information please contact Todd Pedwell or visit the Justice Web Collaboratory at http://www.judgelink.org
Regular general maintenance of the network is necessary to ensure greater performance, both in terms of speed and the prevention of any serious problems. To achieve these goals, the Center for Law and Computers will periodically take down the network to perform this maintenance. We've scheduled the maintenance on a monthly basis, for only 1.5 hours on days and at times to inconvenience the least amount of users.
Here are the dates that we will be taking the network down. On these days, the network will not be available between 5:30am and 7:00am.

How UFOs Reproduce
by, 01-02-2013 at 01:08 PM (1322 Views)
Once upon a time a quilter goes into the LQS and purchases a few yards of fabric to make a beautiful quilt. The quilter begins cutting and working thru to make this quilt and it just doe snot look right so she goes to the lqs again, sees a better one to make and purchases the fabric or kit to make that one. Goes home to work studiously on this quilt because it is better, oh darn, not enough fabric so has to go to lqs again, purchases fabric for quilt, sees another, buys it, then oh my a new fabric came in the store so has to buy that and needs coordinating colors to match and buys another quilt, it has to sit on back burner becuase working on one she/he likes, goes home, cuts up fabric, makes istake, go back to store and does it again. Thru the process finishes one buys and starts four. That is the system to UFO reproduction in my opinion. Now the results is the distant relatives named Scraps. Those silly little relatives reproduce faster than the UFos if you are not careful.

Safecracker Cards - Bicycle
Click to enlarge
You fan out a pack of cards and show the front and back.
52 cards, in no particular order, a good selection for the audience to choose from.
From the face-down deck, a member of the audience draws a card of his choice (freely, no force), which is then put back into the pack. You really have no idea what card has been chosen.
Then you announce something of a sensation: The card, although nobody knows where exactly it is, will move up from the middle to the top of the pack when you snap your fingers!
You make a magic gesture and take the top card off the pack and show it to the audience - how embarrassing, it is the wrong card.
You explain that this is an extremely difficult trick, because the spectator's card is in the middle of the pack, it is locked in place by the cards around it - as good as being in a safe.
While saying this, you take a knob from a safe out of your pocket and put it on top of the pack. Now ask some members of the audience to name numbers from one to ten. The number combination is then dialed by turning the knob. Then the pack of cards opens, like the thick door of a safe and there it is, of course, the spectator's card.
This can be repeated immediately, no reset required, therefore suitable for "walk around" and "table hopping".

Donald Dean's story is a quite remarkable one. Spanning two world wars, and the small matter of Britain's highest honour for bravery, there can't be many tales out there quite like this.
What I really like as well, is that Dean's memoirs have such an easily-readable manner, which is no doubt down to his affable yet modest nature. Joining the Artists Rifles on the outbreak of war (he was underage), Dean was soon identified as an officer candidate and commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Queens Royal West Kent Regiment. Promoted to Captain by 1917, he was severely wounded in an action at Passchendaele, where he led a Platoon in defending an outpost for days against a vastly superior enemy. Modestly, he makes virtually no mention in his memoirs of his VC.
Dean was recalled to service immediately prior to the start of the Second World War, when the British Army was expanding after the Munich Crisis. Dean was originally given command of a Battalion of the Buffs, in the process raising several more Battalions. Upon the outbreak of war, however, his divisional commander removed him from command, with the explanation that he did not want his division to be commanded by territorials. Even First World War veterans with the VC. Unfortunately I have not been able to trace the Major-General in question.
Passed over for command in his Regiment, Dean was transferred to take command units in the Pioneer Corps. Historically the Army's Navvies, and possibly the least glamorous unit in the army, the Pioneers performed valuable yet unsung physical labour. Taking part in the withdrawal to Dunkirk, Dean's units of Pioneers held together firm on the perimeter of Boulogne while unmentioned units of the Guards fell back, commandeering their own ships in the process. Dean was strongly warned never to mention the fiasco. That a man who had been adjudged as an 'amateur' when it came to commanding an infantry unit led a Pioneer unit in a rearguard action should not be lost on the reader. The Pioneer Corps was traditionally a dumping ground for men who were deemed not clever enough or fit enough for the rest of the Army, and unwanted officers such as Dean, but as so often in British military history the Pioneers punched well above their expectations.
After returning from Dunkirk Dean and his Pioneers defended a section of the British coastline, before he left to take command of the Pioneer element of one of the least known operations in the Second World War – the invasion of Madagascar. Held by the Vichy French, a British task force secured the island as a safety measure against capture by the Japanese. Once ashore on Madagascar, Dean had an extremely complicated task in leading a rag-tag labour force, including natives and other various contingents. Commanding such diverse units must have called upon leadership and people skills in spades. Dean was not averse to taking matters into his own hands, and at one point was censured by a senior commander for 'wanton destruction of civilian property' for using metal railings to form an improvised roadway!
After Madagascar Dean was transferred to command Pioneer forces in Italy. There once again Dean was in command of a polyglot collection of men, including British, Canadian, South African, Polish, native Africans and Italians to name but a few. By the end of the war he had acquired the monicker 'Dogsbody Dean' for his ability to deal with any awkward situation, and for handling any task given to him. Not a bad record at all for someone deemed not good enough to command an infantry Battalion in 1939. We can only wonder what the Army missed out on thanks to that ridiculous decision.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading Dean's remarkable story – there cannot be many others like it. He gives some valuable insights into leadership in war, and some very useful anecdotes about the human experience of war.

Does anyone have any comments that would offer some insight on using LiteSpeed as the frontend to a JBoss/Tomcat server in both: - complexity in configuration (considerations) - performance (should be better then apache regardless right?) Thanks. Some Background information: I might be switching from Joomla CMS to OpenEdit as I'm running into problems of granularity of the way things work in Joomla. Since OpenEdit is a Java app you need a container to run it in. Also I'm going to be creating JBoss Seam applications eventually, that's why I'm choosing JBoss AS over plain Tomcat (which does work with Seam... but you know)

A lot of hopeful eyes are glued on the biggest number in gambling this week -- the record $425-million Powerball jackpot that's destined to make some lottery ticket buyer somewhere very, very happy.
In advance of Wednesday's drawing, some people are already very happy: officials in states selling Powerball tickets. Behind the scenes, they've been setting the stage for bigger and bigger jackpots, both for ticket buyers and states selling tickets.
In the 2011-2012 fiscal year, state lottery commissions -- 33 of which run Powerball -- saw a historic year of revenue from ticket sales. Despite a still-anemic economy, 32 of the country's 44 state lotteries set new sales highs that will make Powerball's record-setting payout look like a pittance.
QUIZ: Test your knowledge of Powerball
You think $425 million is impressive? Try $60.8 billion.
That's the amount state lotteries reporting making in the last fiscal year, according to the North American Assn. of State and Provincial Lotteries. That's an 8.7% increase from the previous fiscal year. And at the pace the industry is going, you can expect those numbers to continue.


text: So, I was looking through the orders today for Christian groups, hoping to get some ideas for new design templates. I came across several shirts that would benefit from a few quick changes to make the design look more unique. Often people used a line of text and a clipart, but would benefit from a quick lesson in thoughtful placement. You can make your design look more designer-y in under 2 minutes with just a few simple changes. Above is a before and after of one Christian design and below is a video of how I made the changes. Simply re-arranging the text makes the clipart feel more connected to the words. Plus now he really looks like he is reaching for the "light."


text: Page ContentLeonard H. Lavin Entrepreneur/BusinessmanSan Diego State UniversityA bold leader, creative thinker and inspiration to students across academic disciplines, Leonard H. Lavin is a living testament to the fortitude of the American Dream. Mr. Lavin was born in Chicago in 1919 and grew up during the Great Depression. He served in eight decisive battles of World War II with the U.S. Navy.At the age of 35, Mr. Lavin bought a regional beauty supply manufacturer and turned it into a market leader with a presence in more than 100 countries. Under his direction, Alberto-Culver became an international Fortune 1000 company, manufacturing dozens of top brands in the toiletry, food, household product and professional beauty products sectors.The company earned a reputation for innovation, both in new product development and advertising. Recognizing the value of television in building brand awareness, Mr. Lavin purchased sponsorship in several pioneering programs, including The Smothers Brothers Show. By the time he sold Alberto-Culver to Unilever last year, the company he had taken public in 1961 was earning more than $3.5 billion in annual sales.Mr. Lavin's success story holds many lessons for San Diego State University students, among them the value of hard work, the necessity of making difficult decisions and the importance of anticipating market demand. But perhaps the singular achievement of Mr. Lavin's life—and one for which we honor him today—is his commitment to giving back in time and treasure.A frequent guest lecturer at SDSU, Mr. Lavin imparts knowledge and insight that fuel the spirit of entrepreneurship across campus. The mentoring sessions he leads at the College of Business Administration attract crowds of admiring students. Since 2005, Mr. Lavin has been actively involved with SDSU's Entrepreneurial Management Center. His gifts to support the center have established Lavin VentureStart—a business plan competition open to students from all SDSU colleges—and the Lavin Entrepreneurs—a program for upper-division students that provides individual mentoring, site visits to emerging growth companies, and an entrepreneur speaker series.In his autobiography, Winners Make it Happen: Reflections of a Self-made Man, Mr. Lavin writes, "Somewhere in the arc of my life and career lies a blueprint for a new generation of entrepreneurs. After all, there are no new tricks in our new economy, only new men and women at the helm." Today, we encourage those new men and women to learn from the life of a true American icon.In recognition of his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to students, the Board of Trustees of the California State University and San Diego State University are proud to confer upon Leonard H. Lavin the honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters.

Ken and Wendy Kebrdle started a traveling ministry to reach out to homeless people across Florida.
Madison "Madi" Kebrdle was 11-years-old when her parents told her they had decided to sell their 4,000-square-foot Ocala home, with a swimming pool, and live in an RV.
Ken and Wendy Kebrdle felt called to start a traveling ministry that would reach out to homeless people throughout Florida.
"The first words out of her mouth were, 'Cool! When do we go?' " Ken Kebrdle said about his daughter's response.
"Her bedroom at our house was 400-square-feet," said Wendy Kebrdle. "Everything she owns is in one cupboard now."
It was no problem to Madi, who is home-schooled and participates in church youth programs.
"People are people," she said. "I don't see being afraid of any type of person, because I'm walking by faith and God is in charge."
So, in November 2009, the Kebrdles sold everything they owned and moved into an RV. They visit the homeless in parks, shelters, camps and on the streets of various communities throughout the state. The outreach involves more than just handing someone a cup of coffee and a sandwich. It means connecting with the homeless on a personal level, said Wendy Kebrdle.
"We just sit and chit-chat over coffee," she said. "We're just getting to know each other. We're not trying to cure homelessness. It's really about loving people, in general."
While Ken expected to be the one who was serving, many times, the homeless regulars end up serving the others, he said.
"We had a plan that we would go out and save the world," he said. "Just walking down the street and handing somebody a tract just wasn't enough. We ask them questions like, 'What do people say you're good at?'"
Their ministry, called Wear Gloves, stems from Matthew 9:37, where Jesus tells his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." In an effort to motivate other people to minister to the homeless, the Kebrdles teach a one-day workshop and offer a six-week class called Dignity Serves in churches and home Bible studies.
"We're trying to get people out of the church and reaching out to the homeless," Wendy Kebrdle said. "It's easier to hand a $5 bill out the window than to get to know someone. We come into their church and say, 'How about doing things differently? Get involved.' It's harder. It takes more time."
County Judge Sarah Ritterhoff Williams attended the Dignity Serves classes at Church of Hope. She also went with the Kebrdles to Tuscawilla Park a few times and reached out to the homeless people there.
"It was interesting to see these folks in a different setting than where I normally see them, just walking on the streets or in court," Williams said. "I was not sure how effective the criminal justice system is in addressing all of their problems. It was nice as a person, and it also helps me with my job. Part of what we don't know is what these people's needs are. We assume we know, but until you learn a little bit about their background and circumstances, you don't really have a relationship."
Ocala Mayor Kent Guinn also observed the Kebrdles' ministry during a visit to Tuscawilla Park.
"I got to see a different element of some of those folks, and it was just refreshing to see how they work with them," Guinn said. "I realized there's some decent folks out there. Sometimes, through no choice of their own, they fall on hard times and become homeless. I think it helps the people they're ministering to, hopefully changing their lives."
Guinn recommends that people who want to serve in this way should get involved with an existing ministry, such as with the Kebrdles or with their churches and synagogues. Also, organizations such as Interfaith Emergency Services and the Salvation Army can always use help, he said.
The Kebrdles will be ministering in Melbourne this month, and word of their ministry has spread beyond Florida. Ken said a church in Connecticut has invited them to develop a street ministry. A church in Georgia requested a weekend revival. A congregation in Houston wants help with two outreach programs.
Ken Kebrdle said the ministry costs about $2,000 a month. Wear Gloves currently has about 140 dignity partners who give $10 month. For more information about Wear Gloves or to donate, visit www.weargloves.org.

This is the first of a series of articles from Sustainia about the best urban solutions to climate change from all over the world, from adaptation to mitigation and everything in-between. Check out all solutions on the Global Opportunity Explorer .
Heavy monsoon rains in South Asia and hurricanes Harvey and Irma were just a few of the natural disasters that crippled cities around the world last year. Consequently, it was no surprise that World Economic Forum put extreme weather and failure of climate-change mitigation and adaptation right on the top of its global risks list in the Global Risks Report 2018 . This leaves us with the question of how cities can become better prepared for a future with more ravaging weather caused by climate change.
Investments in climate adaptation is a necessary expense for cities that want to safeguard against the negative impacts of a warming climate. But these investments also can provide cities with substantial environmental, social and economic benefits. For example, creating and restoring city parks and coastal wetlands offers the potential to protect freshwater resources, provide more attractive cityscapes, increase biodiversity and reduce public health expenses, all the while leaving cities better equipped to cope with extreme downpours or floods.
Creating and restoring city parks and coastal wetlands offers the potential to protect freshwater resources, provide more attractive cityscapes, increase biodiversity and reduce public health expenses.
Let's take a closer look at three cities using green spaces as a multipurpose solution to deal with flooding and heavy rains, while reaping a plethora of social and environmental benefits.
Aiming to make its citizens more active and to connect the city,
Angara Three Stone Engagement Ring with Ruby Accents in White Gold m9YFQXmip
has managed to include recreational uses in all aspects of one of the largest Danish climate adaptation projects yet.
Gladsaxe struggled with the challenges with increased rainfall resulting in overflow from a combined sewer system. In 2011, one extreme weather event led to damages of more than $900 million. Avoiding similar losses in the future, the city is implementing areas that serve as both climate adaptive and recreational spaces.
With an area equivalent to 200 soccer fields, the Gladsaxe Heights Nature Park is one of the largest climate adaptation projects in Denmark. "Paddle tennis" courts, skateboarding areas and climbing frames all act as rainwater reservoirs during intense rain but most of the time provide fun recreational spaces for children. The project also includes a non-profit social housing association that has developed a rainwater distribution system independent of traditional wastewater infrastructure, reducing total volumes for the system to process during cloudburst events.

More Kim Kardashian wedding news!
According to a new report, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star will marry fiance Kris Humphries in two months
before he changes his mind! This coincides with what Kim revealed last week, which is that she is planning a summer wedding with Kris, her NBA beau of six months.
"The wedding is going to be at the end of July or the beginning of August," an insider tells Life & Style. "The reason they're rushing it is because they want to do it before the basketball season starts again, so that they have time to have a romantic honeymoon!"
The mag also reports Kim is planning a mega huge wedding! In fact, little sister Khloe Kardashian compared the upcoming nuptials to the Royal wedding. "She wants it to be very traditional, huge and formal," adds the insider.
TMZ is also reporting today that Kim plans on changing her last name once she ties the knot aka the name that made her famous. A sources tells the site Kim will "for sure" take Kris' last name once they marry.
Though one person who isn't happy with Kim's decision is of course none other than Pimp Mama Kris Jenner! She recently told Popeater, "I don't think she should take his name and be Kim Humphries … She needs to be Kim Kardashian because she's worked so hard to get where she is." When it comes to that 10%, do not mess with momager Kris!
And as expected, the E! network is already making plans to air Royal Wedding #2! According to the NY Post, the higher ups at E! are now scrambling, trying to decide how they are going to televise the made for TV event.
They have reportedly narrowed it down to two options — A broadcast as a standalone special, similar to Khloe's nuptials to Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom, or a new spin-off series that chronicles her wedding planning aka "Kim Races To The Altar!"
A rep for E! declined to comment on the story. Kim and Kris were photographed above as they made their first post-engagement public appearance days ago in Monaco.

Doctor Who: Myths and Legends (III) (UK - DVD R2)
Do the Wilson brothers get the horn over The Horns of Nimon? Click here to read
This is part of the Doctor Who: Myths and Legends box-set
Things were about to change for Doctor Who—as the show was nearing the end of its seventeenth season. The Doctor was about to meet a powerful force that not even he could thwart—industrial action. This season should have ended with a six-part story, Shada, written by Douglas Adams, but even with location footage and a few studio scenes in the can, the story was never completed, so The Horns of Nimon unexpectedly became the closer to season seventeen.
Season seventeen of Doctor Who was not one of the strongest in the show's run—it could be argued that the only genuinely good story in this season was City of Death (which achieved the highest viewing figures in the show's history), and the cancellation of Shada meant that the '79-'80 season was going out on a bit of a duff note…
The planet Skonnos was the heart of a once-great empire—the inhabitants desire to see their power restored. Skonnos has been targeted by the Nimon, a race of parasitic beings, who swarm from planet to planet, draining them of their resources. The nefarious Soldeed is in league with one of the Nimon, who has descended on Skonnos as part of an advance guard and exists on the planet in a labyrinth. The Nimon promises Soldeed power, in exchange for a steady supply of hymetusite crystals and young sacrifices from the planet Aneth. Little does Soldeed know that the Nimon in no way intend to help the Skonnons rebuild their empire—they just want to drain the planet and then simply move on to another one.
There are incidents that happen along the way—Romana gets captured, the Doctor meets a group of young, rebellious people who will inevitably rise up against those who oppress them, the Doctor will say 'hello' in a cheery manner to his main adversary and K-9 will be put out of action for much of the story (although there is no location filming in this story, so he would have had little problem traversing across the smooth studio floor).
If it seems as though we're badmouthing The Horns of Nimon for no good reason, you'd be wrong—there are plenty of good reasons to bitch about this story. The concept of the Minotaur in Doctor Who had already been done (check out the Pertwee story in this Myths and Legends set, The Time Monster) and for those of you slow on the uptake, the name Nimon is derived from Minotaur. The Nimon itself is pretty pathetic (see below for a detailed description); the production values are fairly poor even for the period and there just seems to be a tired atmosphere pervading the story.
The show could have seriously done without the Goon Show sound effects that are trotted out during one of the scenes in episode two when the Doctor is attempting to repair the TARDIS. It would be interesting to find out just who came up with the idea to use them, as it serves to make the story even more of a joke than it already is.
The Horns of Nimon is a disaster is many ways, not least of which is a villain so over the top, that he makes Joseph Furst's Professor Zaroff from The Underwater Menace look like a study in subtle self-restraint. Actor Graham Crowden was apparently offered the role of the Fourth Doctor, but turned it down because he didn't want to be stuck in a three-year contract—wise move for Who fans, naturally, as it allowed Tom Baker to stick his not inconsiderably-sized shoes in the door. One has to wonder that if Lalla Ward had the ability to travel through time like her character, would she have gone back and persuaded Crowden to take the role, thereby altering the future and avoiding the whole 'getting married to Tom Baker' thing? Crowden's performance is cringe-inducing, playing every single syllable of every single word of every single line in a grand manner that makes him more suited to performing in an amphitheatre, rather than a relatively small television studio. The fact that he bears more than a passing resemblance to Jonathan Price's intentionally camp portrayal of the Master in the Comic Relief spoof, The Curse of the Fatal Death just adds to the hilarity.
Douglas Adams' dabs are all over the script, as it's almost certain that he polished the thing, but you know what they say about polish and faecal matter. There are certain humorous quips and exchanges in this story that are very much in keeping with Adams' irreverent sense of humour—the best one coming when Romana is informed that the Nimon resides in the power complex, to which she replies 'that fits…'—great stuff.
The Nimon is a pretty pathetic-looking adversary—it's not threatening, it just looks silly—a lumbering bull-headed creature, that can't move its neck, so to look around it has to turn its whole body. It almost stumbles along, as the actor is clearly wearing six-inch platforms to increase the height of the thing, and the result is that at times it walks like it has (bull) shat itself and other times it has a swaggering gait reminiscent of George the Bear from the old Hoffmeister commercials ('if you want bad acting, follow the bull'). There is an extended scene in episode three when the Doctor, Romana and several Anethans are trying to hide from the Nimon, taking cover behind several pieces of computer equipment; the awkward way the Nimon moves allows the hiding characters enough time to change positions whilst the Nimon's back is turned—the resulting scene plays like a pantomime where the heroes are hiding from the slow, lumbering giant, although if someone shouted 'he's behind you' to the Nimon, his response would be (in his silly, overly-synthesised voice) 'give me a minute to turn around, will you?'
There an amusing moment when one of the Nimon is staggering around and goes to fall over very slowly, eventually toppling over behind a piece of set that has a poorly-concealed crash-mat behind it. You can't really blame them, as the combination of the large platform boots and the large headgear would make for a lethal combination if any improperly-planned falls occurred.
Tom Baker's boredom was certainly showing by this point and he is in his typical season nineteen OTT mode, being terribly dark, quite and serious one moment, then being almost embarrassingly shouty and overwrought the next, to being overly jokey and undermining the drama. He still had more than a few flashes of the Doctor that fans new and loved, but there is still something visibly bugging him, although he doesn't look as visibly tired of the whole thing as he did in his final season.
Lalla Ward is still trying desperately to fill the shoes of her predecessor, Mary Tamm. Baker and Tamm worked wonderfully well together during the Key To Time season, sparking off each other in a way reminiscent of John Steed and Mrs Peel in The Avengers, but with Baker and Ward, it just seemed a little forced, being more like John Steed and Tara King. Ward gives what is probably her strongest performance in this story, showing a nice line of steely determination as she resolves to get herself of a sticky situation without the help of the Doctor. As with every story in this season, Ward is given a different outfit each time—the English hunting outfit is entirely appropriate and more than likely a deliberate choice due the nature of the story. Ward's performance is so strong here, that it would have been fun to see her in her own spin-off show as Romana.
Future Blue Peter presenter Janet Ellis isn't bad as plucky young Teka—it wouldn't surprise me if Ellis helped to make some of the sets with some toilet rolls, coat hangers and sticky-backed plastic. Ellis was gorgeous in her prime (she's still quite alluring these days) and she tries to give her character a sense of inner strength and determination, to show that Teka isn't chicken (sorry—couldn't resist that one).
It has been quite some time since we last watched an episode of Doctor Who that had David Brierley providing the voice of K-9, and we had quite forgotten just how irritating his K-9 voice really is. The K-9 in this season sounds like the kind of nasally, pedantic nerd that used to constantly get beaten up at school and every time he speaks, it is the equivalent of dragging a razorblade down a blackboard very slowly. If 2|Entertain are going to do something special with the footage from Shada, then by all means bring in John Leeson to provide the voice of K-9.
The Horns of Nimon offers much unintentional hilarity, but the best moment comes as one of the characters is lying dead on the ground, and a large rip in the seat of his trousers is clearly visible—in death there is no true grace…
The original tapes of this story exist, so the results are lovely to look at, with the whole thing appearing as crisp and as fresh as when it was originally transmitted over three decades ago (though with the added clarity that DVD allows, it probably looks better than the original broadcast). The reds of Romana's hunting jacket never looked so vivid!
The final score from Terence Dudley sounds just fine on this release. Dialogue is also pleasingly clear.
Audio Commentary: Actors Lalla Ward, Graham Crowden and Janet Ellis join writer Anthony Read for this fun track. Ward and Ellis make a fun couple as they light-heartedly poke fun at aspects of the production in an insightful manner—Ward reveals how much she hated working with the noisy TARDIS set, but preferred it to working with certain actors, giving away his initials, which just happen to be the same as a certain virulent disease. Read is pleasant and informative, but proving that three's company, four's a Crowden is the actor playing the chief villain, when he strolls into the recording booth a few minutes into episode one. Crowden is the very model of the 'luvvie' and though he is not as free and easy as the others in terms of talking, when he does so, he talks about himself. Perhaps it would have been better just to give Crowden his own interview, as Ward and Ellis are so good together that Crowden's presence hinders things.
Who Peter—Partners in Time: This is almost certainly the highlight of the Myths and Legends set—a twenty-nine minute look at how the classic Doctor Who series and Blue Peter intertwined over the decades. Hosted by BP presenter Gethin Jones, this is a wonderfully nostalgic look back at how two phenomenally popular BBC shows came together and it features contributions from numerous Blue Peter presenters and is also heavy on vintage clips from the perennially popular children's show (we're referring to Blue Peter again…). Though a number of Blue Peter excerpts have been included on other Who DVDs, it's nice to see some of the edited highlights here, presented in a sort of clip-show format that makes the whole thing more palatable to less eager viewers. This is the first part of a two-part series, the second of which concentrates on the wilderness years and New-Who. Oh, a special mention should made to the graphics on the credits, which features a time vortex in the shape of the Blue Peter logo…
Read the Writer: A short feature on the man who penned The Horns of Nimon, Anthony Read, who looks back on his story and what problems were faced during production. Read comes across as a nice guy and he touches upon problems faced by Douglas Adams and the fact that a couple of members of the cast were overacting in this story (which it hilariously inter-cuts with the two actors concerned). This is nice stuff, but it could have been longer, as Read really seems to be a likeable chap with some interesting stories to tell.
Peter Howell Music Demos: This is very interesting stuff, as it plays clips from The Horns of Nimon with some of Howell's Radiophonic Workshop demos over the top. There are some people who aren't great fans of the 80s synthesiser music that was so prevalent during that decade, but it works surprisingly well on the clips presented here.
Production Notes: As ever, when this option is selected, you are bombarded with more information about the production that you could possibly need or comfortably digest in one sitting—lovely, comprehensive stuff.
Photo Gallery: A series of still images are presented for your enjoyment, accompanied as always by Dick Mills' special sounds from the story.
PDF Material: The Radio Times listings and the original studio floor plans are presented for your delectation when you pop this disc into a PC.
Coming Soon: A short trailer for the Tom Baker story The Creature From the Pit is here to whet your appetites.
We began watching Doctor Who when season seventeen started and we stayed with the show until the bitter end ten years later. There was some fun in watching a story that we hadn't revisited for many years, but this appeal was pure nostalgia and little else.
The Horns of Nimon is a televisual train-wreck—the specifics have been mentioned above, but there will be some out there who find the prospect of watching one of the naffest Doctor Who stories appealing.

As an outsider to this it seems to me Obama was handed a manure sandwich when he was elected POTUS, but frankly he really hasn't done much since then to improve the country that to my mind was wrecked by the previous incumbent.
Debt is what is stopping the USA from better times - and Obama has done nothing to address that most glaring of issues affecting the future prosperity of the USA. Until something is done 8% + unemployment and creeping GDP growth are there to stay.

Three keys for the Cardinals in the World Series
BOSTON -- Much of the talk leading up to the World Series has been about how evenly matched the Cardinals and Red Sox appear to be.
These are two teams that led the Majors with 97 wins and topped their respective leagues in runs scored and run differential. They tout relatively inexperienced managers who preach the importance of playing the game the right way and grinding out at-bats. The franchise histories are storied; the fan bases are devout.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- Much of the talk leading up to the World Series has been about how evenly matched the Cardinals and Red Sox appear to be.
These are two teams that led the Majors with 97 wins and topped their respective leagues in runs scored and run differential. They tout relatively inexperienced managers who preach the importance of playing the game the right way and grinding out at-bats. The franchise histories are storied; the fan bases are devout.View Full Game Coverage
Either the Red Sox or the Cardinals will soon become the first team in the Majors to capture a third World Series championship since the turn of the century. And in a series where so much else seems equal, the little things could make a sizable difference.
As the Cardinals prepare to open the World Series at Fenway Park on Wednesday night (airing live on FOX at 6:30 p.m. CT; first pitch at 7:07 p.m.), here are three keys that would give them a series edge:
The rotation
It has been the postseason of the pitcher, and there is no expectation that will change in the World Series. The Cardinals do not advance past Pittsburgh and Los Angeles without dominant starting pitching, and they'll need it again to quell a Red Sox lineup that led the American League in runs scored.
The Cardinals rotation, which ranked second in the National League with a 3.42 ERA during the regular season, has been even more dominant in October. Through 11 playoff games, it has posted a 2.57 ERA and held opponents to a .218 batting average. Of particular note is the job done by the team's top two starters. Adam Wainwright helped the Cardinals out of the NL Division Series with bookend wins. Michael Wacha has allowed one earned run in three starts (21 innings).
Boston's rotation, in comparison, has been knocked around. It has a 4.29 ERA this postseason after finishing with a 3.84 mark during the regular season. If the Cardinals cannot get to the Red Sox starters, then they will be left to scrape for runs against a bullpen that has allowed just three tallies in 32 innings this postseason.
Allen Craig
Sure, the Cardinals got past the Pirates and then the Dodgers sans Craig, but there was also no designated-hitter spot to fill in either of those two series. Craig is coming off a left foot injury that ended his regular season back on Sept. 4. He has been hitting off Cardinals pitchers for the past week, but no one knows how quickly his timing will come back in a game setting.
If Craig comes back resembling the cleanup hitter who drove in 97 runs and hit .454 with runners in scoring position through 134 games, the Cardinals not only have a legitimate DH, but their offense becomes considerably deeper. If the layoff limits what Craig can do in the World Series, the Cardinals' lineup won't match up with Boston's.
It's likely that Craig's production potential will fall somewhere in between, which could be sufficient for the Cardinals. They have no other threatening bench player that can jump into a DH role, which makes even a limited Craig an asset. Nevertheless, Craig has the potential to be a difference maker for an offense that, even after breaking out in Game 6 of the NLDS, has a .210 average through 11 postseason games.
What Craig contributes once the series shifts back to St. Louis also remains an unknown. He has not resumed defensive work, though the Cardinals are not yet ruling out the possibility of Craig having time to get ready to play the field by next weekend. That, too, would be a boost for the Cardinals, who could then move Matt Adams back to the bench.
Rookie relievers
Carlos Beltran joked during the NL Championship Series that perhaps their naivety to this grand stage was serving the young Cardinals pitchers well. Whether they've ignored the pressure or merely thrived in it, the club's young corps of relievers has been dominant in the late innings so far this postseason. If the Cardinals want to match the formidability of the Red Sox 'pen, they'll need similar contributions in the World Series.
Rookie Trevor Rosenthal has stepped in to handle the closing duties with no issues. Fellow rookies Kevin Siegrist, Carlos Martinez and Seth Maness have been the bridge to get the game to the ninth. Each has made at least five appearances during the playoffs as the Cardinals became the first team in Major League history to use at least four rookies four times in one postseason. Combined, the group has allowed 12 hits, three earned runs and four walks in 19 innings.
The Cardinals have some relievers with age -- Randy Choate, Edward Mujica and John Axford -- but manager Mike Matheny has been clear in indicating whom he trusts with the game on the line. If this group of youngsters remains unfazed by the stage, the Cardinals will make it hard on the Red Sox to come from behind.

LAGOS, Nigeria (AP) — Amnesty International says 9,000 people have lost homes and livelihoods and thousands more are threatened in a slum area of Lagos destroyed by armed police and bulldozers.
The London-based human rights organization says a state government official claimed they destroyed "a rubbish dump."
But Amnesty published satellite images Monday showing concrete and other structures in "a densely populated area" razed to the ground Feb. 23.
It said residents are sleeping in the open prey to disease and bandits; children are out of school; thousands have lost livelihoods.
The state government spokesman did not answer calls.
Rights groups say tens of thousands have lost homes and workplaces in government efforts to improve facilities in the city of nearly 20 million with no regard for what happens to those in the way.

Another Piece of the Pete Hawley Puzzle
TI list member Ken Steacy graciously added another piece to the Pete Hawley puzzle late last night when he emailed me these fantastic four scans from his collection along with this note:
"Pete Hawley is a real fave of mine - I started collecting his Valentine's day cards decades ago, and his Jantzen ads are awesome. Whilst working for Carlton in the sixties he did some moonlighting under the name KWATZ and painted a groovy set of puzzles - the boxes currently adorn the stairs to my studio!"
As if that weren't enough, a short while later, Ken sent a second email with another rare treat: this shot of the original Pete Hawley art from a 1953 movie poster called "The Girls of Pleasure Island". Thanx Ken! You can now see these pieces and more in my Pete Hawley Flickr set.
I'm grateful to everyone who generously shares their scans, their time and their knowledge so we can all enjoy and learn more about classic illustrators like Hawley - and speaking of which, TI list member Armando Mendez begins his fascinating take on Pete Hawley and Jantzen artists just below...

Excellent piece there Ken! Man I should look through my old CDs I downloaded a bunch of Hawley stuff when Glines was posting it on his old site years ago.ReplyDelete
I hope he finds the impetus and funding to publish his book about Hawley!
Great stuff Leif!

Hi Leif,ReplyDelete
Hey, can I introduce myself... Scott Caple, been in animation and illustration for a longwhile now..worked at Disney and Pixar for last ten tears, back in TO now...and fan of Pete Hawley since i can't remember.
So I'm just searching idly and find this..guess that's how it goes in this old etherworld.
I know Ken S. very well and if anyone has everything Hawley he does, ( in fact, I think i know where he got the soldier/babe picture) but i have a stack of stuff from my young days, too; i'll try and get it to you.
I haven't got much net presence and haven't started the blog thing yet, but contact me and let me know more; great blog; the old guys have always been my faves. It's nice to see them in demand; wasn't always the way.
And you're in Hamilton, huh... have we met? Where do you work?
Wow-- this site is becoming the clearinghouse for everyone who has been quietly collecting illustrations in separate corners of the universe up until now. It's great to see what happens when they start to pool their thoughts and their collections. I have long admired Armando's writings on Leonard Starr, Alex Raymond and other experts in feminine pulchritude, and I am glad he has re-emerged here with such a great contribution. As for Ken Steacy's groovy puzzle covers, I thought long and hard before deciding to confess that I actually owned one of those back when I was young and foolish. It was a gift, alright? I actually liked the picture but of course had no idea it was Hawley.ReplyDelete

I have 4 (8.5"x8.5") plastic plaques of toddlers showing a copywrite mark, then a date that I can't make out, followed by PETER HAWLEY. Might it be the same artist you are interested in?ReplyDelete
I tried to paste in a scan here, but it didn't work. Email me if you wish to see them at email@example.com. I can send scans that way.
I am the owner of the Merrill Co Publishers that Peter Hawley did many covers for. Some were pictured in the Illustration Magazine Issue#22 Spring 2008. I am going to be offering these for sale. To see a few go here:ReplyDelete
These were unpublished:
You may contact me at email@example.com
I'm also astonished that there is not a handsome, world-class coffee-table monograph on Pete Hawley. Sorely needed!ReplyDelete
A member of his family writes here as "Anonymous", I see. Some book-compiler needs to have access to all of Hawley's artwork, both his most famous images, his lesser known pieces, and his juvenilia. Nice if a Hawley family member can supply rich details about Hawley's life, childhood and training.

By On Jan 14, 2018 Kids Coloring
We are in mid-September and my five-year-old has started kindergarten. So far I have felt as though I am shouting in the wilderness when mentioning the thought of slowing things down. We have a girl who wakes up a 3 AM, thinking about school and all that can go wrong. There are new pressures for all of us, but, looking around, I don't think we are in this wilderness alone.
This month our family goal has been to cut back on worry, but it's not easy. As new school groups form and back-to-school sign ups start piling up, so do the expectations and concerns. Are we teaching our kids by modeling that more stress equals success? How do we slow down and get off the merry-go-round? No sooner did I ask this than a package arrived from Colorit, the makers of adult coloring books. Excited to start creating, I made a coffee date with a friend who has been there through play dates and preschool day. Finally, our long-awaited moment had come. We get to actually sit and just catch up.
Tracing activities develop a child control of the small muscles of the hands (fine motor skills) improving hand/eye coordination. Learning shapes and colors allows children to group or classify items -- children develop their ability to make logical connections -- a precursor to both math and language arts.
