Friends and Loves!
Thank you so much for making it happen! We made the Kickstarter goal and I flew to Aspen to record an album with my friend and long time collaborator Sharon Mok who is a beautiful and talented musician. We snuck into hotel hot tubs, took long bus rides to hot springs with picnics, got altitude sickness, and did all kinds of funny and shady DIY things to get this done.

The New York Times has an obituary portrait (hat tip Jen Rubin) of a courageous white woman, who did what she could to fight the vicious system of apartheid in South Africa.
Over decades of volunteer work — counseling thousands of black South Africans, plotting legal strategy, writing pamphlets, holding silent vigils and speaking out in churches and at universities — Mrs. Duncan moved far beyond the traditional sphere reserved for white women of her day.
She helped people whose families were being torn apart by laws that kept black workers in the cities to serve whites while exiling their kin to impoverished rural "bantustans," or homelands. She invited those who sought her advice to sit on the same side of the desk with her as she pored over their identity documents, especially the books blacks were required to carry to prove they were authorized to be where they were. With no formal legal training, Mrs. Duncan became an authority on the notorious pass laws, which governed the movement of blacks. She sent people with a chance of successfully challenging them to the Legal Resources Center, a human rights organization that took on such cases with financial support from American foundations and South African corporations.
What a witness to human dignity!
The Sowetan, a daily newspaper that serves a black readership, wrote in its lead editorial on Thursday: "Our sorrows and fears lifted a little whenever her ample figure hove into view. She took up the cudgels and fought tirelessly, without profit or reward, against members of her own race who enslaved us."
May she receive her eternal reward, and may her tribe on earth increase!

Ted Lewin
They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but when Ted Lewin creates the cover you can be sure that the illustrations inside are just as captivating as the book jacket itself. As I was concluding this interview with Ted, I asked him if there was something else he wanted to talk about. "Don't you want to know about the cover?" he asked. As a visual artist he knows how important it is to capture a book browser's attention immediately. That happened when I first saw the cover art for The Longest Night. I was enchanted by the clear simplicity: the chickadee on the bare branch of the deciduous tree sitting in the light of the full moon with a background of cold, winter blue. I just had to see what was inside and what this book was all about. The seamless interplay of text and illustration envelope the reader. It is the winter solstice. The world is dark and cold and three bold animals are sure they can bring back the sun through their brute force. That is not to be, however. It is cheerful encouragement that brings light to the day. Text and illustration combine in a harmonious blend for the senses.
Ted Lewin has received many accolades for the masterful depiction of light in his illustrations, including a Caldecott Honor in 1994 for Peppe the Lamplighter. I asked him why he was drawn to the text of The Longest Night by Marion Dane Bauer. "The story is so evocative and it has a strong storyteller's voice. I was drawn to the quiet winter mood. Then, at the end, there is a change of mood. The story goes from the darkness of night to the brilliant light of dawn. It is what I like to paint and this text gave me the opportunity do so."
When he read the text for the first time Ted could see so many things that he loves to paint. There were the animals and birds. An avid photographer, Ted has an extensive file of animal photographs that he has been collecting since he was a child. The brevity of the text allowed him to create large, up close portraits of the animals. Indeed, the reader has a sense of being there in the forest next to these creatures. When you look at the moose, it looks like it is staring back at you. The fox is particularly dramatic in its barking pose.
I asked Ted how he determined that his illustrations should be so dramatic in contrast to the quiet evocative text. "Some people might think you should have quiet illustrations to go with the quiet text. That would have just washed out the whole book. I think the contrast makes this a stronger book." I couldn't agree more with his assessment.
The cover immediately grabs the reader's attention. A single chickadee sits on a branch in the light of the full moon and is surrounded by a mesmerizing shade of blue. The title is in silver, reflecting moonlight. Ted said, "A cover needs to be a poster. It needs to knock your socks off from across the room. When I sat down with my editor and the art director they both immediately said the cover had to be the chickadee. That was fine. I had already done one inside the book. Well, they said, 'We think the moon should be on the cover.' That was fine, too, until they told me they wanted a separate piece of art. So, I created a new piece. It is the same chickadee on the same branch as inside the book but now it has a full moon behind it."
The story really begins on the endpapers where the reader is invited, through the drawings of the woods, to enter. Just as in a movie where the action begins as the opening credits are shown, Ted explained that the end papers, title page and half-title page do the same. The scene is set. The reader slowly and gradually enters the deep, dark woods and the story. The cinematic approach continues through the book as Ted moves from landscapes to intimate up-close portraits of the animals. The result is quite dramatic.
"The prevalent mood of the book is one of a dark winter night until we reach the end and the light from the sunrise is so bright it 'shatters your eyes,'" Ted remarks. He loves painting moody landscapes. Normally, he selects about ten colors to use in his paintings. To create the cold and dark of a moonlit winter's night for this book, Ted narrowed the number of colors he used for those scenes to only three: ultramarine blue, Van Dyke brown and the green shade of Winsor blue. He has used these colors and blends of these colors so effectively that the finished illustrations look as if they were done in full color.
Then, as dawn breaks in the final three pictures, Ted added more colors to convey not only the rising of the sun but the hope-filled tone of the text. Ted has a masterful understanding of color and composition and uses both to the utmost in eliciting emotional responses from the readers of his books.
Because he always works from photographs, Ted needed shots of snowy winter woods at night. He was in contact with friends who live in the woods of Massachusetts. He asked them to call him when there was snow on the ground. That winter the weather was particularly mild. As time passed and his deadline was getting closer Ted began to panic that there would be no timely snowfall. But at long last, he did receive a call. A snowstorm had left three feet of snow on the ground. Ted and his wife, Betsy who is a noted and gifted illustrator and sometimes collaborator, immediately left their home in Brooklyn, and caught a train to Massachusetts. Ted spent a couple days taking photographs of various pieces and parts of the forest and also the larger vistas. He usually selects six or eight photos to create one painting, taking parts from each of the photographs and bringing them together into one image. His paintings are approximately 20% larger than the final book size.
Ted explained how he created the paintings for The Longest Night. He began as he always does, by making a rough sketch-to-size of the entire book which he sent to his editor. When the book was approved, he began to paint. For the night scenes in The Longest Night, he first toned the board with a pale blue wash, covering the spaces that he wanted to remain white, such as the full moon, with liquid mask. He then peeled off the mask.
The next part is critical to his artwork. Ted makes meticulous pencil drawings of everything in the illustration. They will be painted over, but these under-drawings are key to the entire piece of art. They provide the underlying "skeleton" and keep everything together. Using a projected photo image of the woods, Ted began to paint with watercolor and then repeated that process with the projected images of the animals. He does not erase the pencil lines. If you look closely, you can see some of them. They do, indeed, hold the composition together. Because he has created a strong under-drawing, he can be as loose as he wants with the watercolor. "Watercolor is unforgiving," Ted remarks, "You cannot go back and remove some of the color the way one can with oil paints. That is why the under-drawings are so valuable." There were a great number of decisions to be made in the compositions. For example, Ted had to determine if the animals needed to be consistently kept to scale. He decided that was not necessary and met that challenge through up-close drawings of each of the animals. There is also a double-page spread where all four creatures are present and the chickadee is off to the side on a branch and shown much smaller than the others. Ted pointed out the illustration of the moose going uphill and how he accomplished a sense of motion. The moose is going from left to right and the woods are leaning the other way. This created a pyramid effect at the top and a very strong compositional element. It is no wonder that some of the pencil line drawings can take a day or two to create. Once "the skeleton" is done, Ted can work quickly with the watercolors. In fact, he can finish an illustration in watercolor in as short a span as three hours.
With the change in mood from night to the promise of a new day, Ted toned the board in pink. He always uses a color called rose doré for dawn. He then drew the chickadee on top. "It is really, really difficult to capture the true colors of sunlight and moonlight," he said. Like all artists, Ted selects the colors that he feels best represent the light. I asked him if he got up early to watch the sun rise. Not only did he do that, but he photographed a chickadee on a branch in his backyard and immortalized that little bird in The Longest Night. "I love to paint the thicket and the cross-work of lacy branches. It is like calligraphy. When I was taking photos I looked for woods full of these."
What does he hope children will take from The Longest Night? First, he commented that it is a wonderful read aloud. "Kids eyes get big with the wind sound in the book." He was so pleased to be asked to illustrate Marion Dane Bauer's text. "I hope children will come away with a sense of wonder; that the magic of the deep, dark woods and these mystical creatures will grab them; that they will come away with a love of the mysteries of nature."
A really good book is one that you can go back to over and over again and discover something new each time. The Longest Night by Marion Dane Bauer with illustrations by Ted Lewin is one of those books in which the text and illustrations come together to create a work of art greater than either individual aspect. A really good book stays with you long after the reading. I was out on my morning walk recently. I became very aware of the beautiful colors of dawn in the Eastern sky and immediately thought of Ted's final illustrations for this book. And then the most amazing thing happened. From a nearby tree I heard, "Dee-dee-dee." It made me smile.

At Gleason's Gym
Ted Lewin
Through the training experience of Sugar Boy Younan, a Bantam Weight National Silver Gloves Champion, Lewin introduces us to the sights and sounds of Gleason's Gym, where "the world works out," the trainer of champions. We not only see the myriad activities of those from all over the world. We can hear the noises they make, and almost smell the sweat. Few words are needed. When it is Sugar Boy's turn, he spars with his dad as he trains for the Nationals. Even girls are training there. Lewin's brush strokes apply watercolors in nervous, tentative movements creating vital images always on the move. Frequent splashes of calligraphy for sounds like "thump thump" or "ratatatatat" add to the visual excitement. Double-page scenes display the multiple activities, while pages of black and white drawings focus on individual sparring and shadow boxing. All the pages project the energy that floods the gym. The boxing gear, the rings, and the punching bags, all add to the reality of the training. The naturalistically painted images are more effective than photographs in conveying information while evoking emotion. A glossary is included. 2007, A Neal Porter Book/Roaring Brook Press, $17.95. Ages 6 to 10. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature).
Balarama: A Royal Elephant
Ted and Betsy Lewin
We join the Lewins in southern India as they visit an elephant camp and meet the mighty Drona, the lead Royal Elephant in the maharaja of Mysore's parade in the festival of Dasara. They decide to return for the parade but learn, to their sorrow, that Drona has died. The elephant chosen to replace him and carry the golden howdah is Balarama. The preparations for the parade are vividly described and depicted, as is the dressing of Balarama. Despite concern, Balaram performs beautifully in the spectacle, a worthy successor to Drona. Both artists use watercolors deftly to record the events. Ted's double-page scenes are replete with naturalistic details of both the elephants and the street action and architecture. The spectacular pomp is recorded with obvious appreciation and affection. Betsy uses her sketchy black ink lines for less lavish mini-dramas, like the group of children listening to an oft-told tale of a mischievous elephant, or those playing an impromptu game. She also records some of the dances that accompany the formal parades. These smaller images expand our understanding of the spirit of the spectacle, giving a more human dimension. The vision of each of these artists supplements that of the other for a complete interpretation. The end pages alone are knockouts. There is a map and an extensive introduction, plus additional facts about the elephants and a glossary and pronunciation guide. 2009, Lee & Low Books, $19.95. Ages 6 to 10. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature).
Big Jimmy's Kum Kau Chinese Take Out
Ted Lewin
This is a truly charming book that should make everyone who reads it hungry for a plate of subgum chow mai fun or a carton of sam gap tai. The narrator is a very young boy who helps out at his family's restaurant every Saturday. Through his adventures, we explore a wonderful meal, from the delivery of ingredients to the prep work in the kitchen to the delight of the customers, who are regulars and therefore friends to be greeted by name. Children will be in awe of the boy who "works" so hard, and greatly amused by what HE chooses for dinner. (Hint--It is not Chinese food.) To create his delightful illustrations, Lewin took photos at his favorite Chinese restaurant and reproduced them in watercolors. He also reproduces that restaurant's colorful menu on the inside covers of the book. The only possible response to reading this book is to take the kids out for Chinese. Teachers or librarians could combine a reading of the book with the serving of some Chinese appetizers, or even just with fortune cookies. 2002, HarperCollins, $16.95. Ages 3 to 9. Reviewer: Donna Freedman (Children's Literature).
The Disappearing Island
Corinne Demas
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
On Carrie's ninth birthday she received a small box with a note that read "To celebrate your birthday we will voyage out to the disappearing island where I found this sand dollar when I was your age." The island only appears at low tide and is covered by sand and nothing green. But there are treasures to discover--a brick from someone's chimney and part of the spiral staircase from one of the lighthouses. Carrie learns that during the early 1800s, Billingsgate Island was a prosperous fishing community, but slowly the ocean reclaimed it. The story is intriguing and grandma loves recounting that man cannot truly tame nature. But the underlying message is the joy of sharing a special secret with a special child. Both the author and illustrator visited Billingsgate for inspiration and the result is graceful prose complemented by exquisite watercolor paintings. The book will evoke pleasant summertime memories and begs to be shared between adults and children. 2000, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers/Simon & Schuster, $16.00. Ages 5 to 8.

The Girl on the High-Diving Horse
Linda Oatman High
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
Young Ivy Cordelia takes us back to the summer of 1936, which she and her father spend at Atlantic City. He is a photographer, while she is along to enjoy the beach and the sights along the boardwalk. She is excited the most by the diving horses. With a young girl riding, the horse dives from a high platform into a tank of water. Her father photographs the two sisters who do the dives. Before she has to go sadly back to Philadelphia at the end of the summer, Ivy Cordelia has the thrill of riding behind one of the sisters on a dive. Ten years later, she herself is doing the diving. Lewin replicates the look of the colored postcards of that time, as he paints the details of the attractions on the boardwalk, the beach and hotels, and of course many action shots of horse and riders. The brief text supplies names, dates, and our heroine's wishful thinking, but it is Lewin's tinted photos that tell the full, engaging story. Notes by both author and illustrator fill in both additional facts and personal notes about the story. 2003, Philomel Books/Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers, $16.99. Ages 5 to 9. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature).
Gorilla Walk
Ted and Betsy Lewin
In their first collaboration, Ted and Betsy Lewin visited the mountain gorillas that reside in the Ugandan Impenetrable Forest. Their arduous trek and the reward of seeing these magnificent creatures have been captured in a compelling retelling accompanied by full page watercolor scenes of the gorillas in their habitat and the many insets that humorously recap the story of their expedition. Among the best are the watercolor sketchs of Ted taking out a porter and everyone running from the Safari ants. Readers will learn some interesting facts about these endangered animals and come away as the authors did with mixed feelings about the benefits of habituation. A Mountain Gorilla Fact sheet and an index round out this beautiful book. 1999, Lothrop, $16.00. Ages 6 up. Reviewer: Charles Wyman (Children's Literature).
High as a Hawk: A Brave Girl's Historic Climb
T.A. Barron
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
Sometimes it takes a death to inspire us to greatness. As bonneted eight-year-old Harriet misses her mom, she triumphantly conquers pain and doubt to fulfill a dream to reach the summit of Long's Peak. The story is based on an historic climb in 1905 when Harriet Peters, the youngest person ever to climb Long's Peak, and Enos Mills, a world famous guide, reached the top at 14,255 feet. Enos Mills campaigned steadfastly against mining interests to preserve this spectacular place and ten years after this, his favorite climb, it became the Rocky Mountain National Park. With this wise, strong, Scotsman, Harriet "scrambled up a rocky ridge, encountered boulders--hundreds of them, and ...snow up to my knees" to reach the top. Ted Lewin's watercolors are magical. He uses light to capture the suspense and beauty of the climb. He paints the mystery and fear of the dark forest and the surprise of the "bugling sound" of a "great bull elk bound[ing] out of the trees." The joy of success explodes in the light blue of the sky, the upturned arms and the soaring hawk on the last page. Barron's prose is inspirational as he tells of the child heroine and wonders about her impact on Mills. His story stirs a desire to climb and see this great work of Mother Nature so one can more than imagine the "string of lakes gleaming like a blue necklace" from the summit, to feel As High as a Hawk. 2004, Philomel, $16.99 Ages 5 to 7.

Horse Song: The Naadam of Mongolia
Ted and Betsy Lewin
The world-traveling Lewins take us to Mongolia for the summer festival of Naadam, where legendary child jockeys race half wild horses. The hero of their story, nine-year-old Tamir, is a composite of the real children they met at the festival. We share a tent with them at the training camp, eat traditional foods, and watch the many preparations. On the day of the race, it is pandemonium, trying to get the horses in line as they run. Tamir manages to come in first in the race. Ceremonies end with the awarding of prizes and the traditional "horse song." Ted Lewin's watercolors describe events with compelling naturalism. He provides information while also evoking the emotions felt as a participant in the events. As the horses gather, we sense the tension of both riders and mounts. An interior scene also shows many objects and traditional activities. Betsy Lewin's small reed pen-and-watercolor vignettes add informational details and a leavening of humor. The front and back endpapers of sketches of the jockeys must come from her sketchbook, as they have immediacy with the liveliness of sharp observation. There are pages of additional factual information, a map, and a glossary with a pronunciation guide. 2008, Lee & Low Books, $19.95. Ages 5 to 9.

The Longest Night
Marion Dane Bauer
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
Bauer paints a poetic verbal picture of a long, dark night with deep snow, when "the stars are ice, the moon is frost, and the entire world is still." Bears and mice sleep; the wind wails; and the crow caws, "Gone!" telling how he saw the sun go and how he will wake it up. "Gone!" cries the moose, declaring that he will scoop it up. "Gone!" barks the fox, who says he will sniff it out and dig it up. To each the wind says, "Not you." Only the chickadee can bring back the sun, says the wind, to the surprise of the others, but it is the "dee and dee" of its song that finally causes the sun to open his eyes and smile; then "the journey toward spring begins." For this variation on a myth common to many cultures, Lewin's equally poetic double-page scenes communicate the deep silences of the winter forest. Using only three watercolor pigments for almost all the illustrations, he creates the trees, rocks, and snowy blanket as well as the quartet of creatures, respectful of anatomical facts but investing each with an almost mystical presence. The chickadee perched on a tangle of naked branches on the jacket/cover almost shows us the gentle voice that might well coax the sleeping sun to action. Close-up portraits of the other characters are equally effective. Do not miss the end pages. 2009, Holiday House, Ages 4 to 8, $17.95.

Lost City: The Discovery of Machu Picchu
Ted Lewin
Bound by the symbolic opening endpapers of deep jungle followed by the closing well-knit building stones of the Lost City, Lewin takes readers on the trail that Yale professor Hiram Bingham followed into Peru. Bingham had heard of the lost city of the Inca, Vilcapampa, had seen other walled structures constructed by the famed Incan builders, and was determined to discover this city. So, by asking if there were any ruins nearby, he finally secured information about a city straight up through jungles and into the cloud-covered mountains. Lewin's detailed and dramatic watercolors depict Bingham crawling over a log bridge, hacking his way through jungle, and for child reader interest, a boy who watches from above as the party make its way upward. Lewin's pictures reveal to readers the first structures, the steps emerging from bamboo thickets and jungle vines, to an ending aerial view of the city structure once the vines were removed years later. It is a fine trip for a budding scientist and explorer to make in Bingham's company and a book that evokes wonder about other "lost cities" or unexplored places. Lewin's author's note tells how he found the boy, an actual character from Bingham's journal, and how he prepared for making his pictures accurate. For a slightly older audience or readers who want even more facts about this marvelous Peruvian treasure, Machu Picchu, by Elizabeth Mann (Mikaya, 2000), is a fine straightforward informational book that answers even more of the questions children may have about this civilization and additionally includes more information about Hiram Bingham. 2003, Philomel, $16.99. Ages 7 to 11. Reviewer: Susan Hepler, Ph.D. (Children's Literature).
One Green Apple
Eve Bunting
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
Farah, a Muslim girl, knows her dupatta and incomprehension of English make her stick out at her new school. She has recently emigrated from a country that has had difficulties with the United States, and she wonders if she will be accepted by the other children. On a school field trip to an orchard, Farah finds some similarities between her new country and her home country that make her feel less homesick. There are the friendly faces of two classmates, Anna and Jim, and farm dogs, with the insides of ears as "pink and shiny" as her dog Haddis's ears. She attends to sounds that are universal: the crunch-crunch of dogs eating, the ka-chunk of apples in the cider press and laughter, including her own. In saying her first English word, "App-ell," aloud, Farah begins to take her place in this new culture just as the apple she chose mingles with those of her classmates in the cider press. Master author Bunting brings a compassionate eye and light touch to this story of resilience and self-acceptance, a story that will resonate with children of all cultures.

Pennies in a Jar
Dori Chaconas
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
A young boy tells about learning to face his fears while waiting for his father to return from serving in World War II. One day, a man comes by with a pony and offers to take the boy's picture on the pony for fifty cents. The boy has the money; he has been saving his pennies in order to buy his dad a special birthday present. However, he is frightened of the pony. His initial reaction is to say no. Then he remembers that his dad told him that if something is important enough, you just have to do it. He knows that the picture would be the perfect present for his dad. Overcoming his fright, the boy laughs out loud as his picture is being taken. He writes a touching note to send with the picture, telling his dad not to worry since he is taking care of things at home. This thought-provoking story is both solemn and uplifting, giving a glimpse into the past that remains meaningful today in both circumstances and theme. The beautiful watercolor illustrations are realistic representations of the times and the places. A two-page author's note at the end of the book provides additional details about life during the war years from 1939 to 1945. 2007, Peachtree Publishers, $16.95. Ages 6 to 10. Reviewer: Vicki Foote (Children's Literature).
Red Legs: A Drummer Boy of the Civil War
Ted Lewin
Award-winning author/illustrator Ted Lewin has a knack for creating indelible images with both his words and paintings. This book is no exception. Lewin relates the story of Stephen, a drummer boy for the "Red Legs" regiment of the Union army. Though only nine years old, Stephen wants to do his part to preserve the Union. With moving and heartfelt passion, Stephen describes his feelings from the eve of battle right up to its shocking conclusion. Lewin's colorful illustrations, obviously drawn with painstaking care, are nothing short of remarkable. Dozens of weapons, horses and soldiers come to life on each page. This book offers tribute not only to the boys and men--700,000 of them--who lost their lives during the American Civil War, but also to the men and women who keep the memory alive today through reenactments. 2001, HarperCollins, $15.95. Ages 6 to 10. Reviewer: Christopher Moning (Children's Literature).
Sunsets of the West
Tony Johnston
Illustrated by Ted Lewin
Pa felt pinched for space. He knew the stars of Maine but he itched to know the endless prairies and the Sierra with snow. "Gather your necessaries," he told his family, "We're going west." Young readers can follow along with this brave pioneer family as they leave their New Hampshire home to make a new life out west. Readers can get a feel of the mixture of sadness and excitement as they leave their home, and the dangers they face along the way. The authentic lifelike watercolors perfectly harmonize with the story to bring it alive. The hardships the family faces are offset by the breathtaking scenery and the glorious sunsets, which serve to keep them going. The artist's research included purchasing authentic pioneer clothing, and watching a reenactment of a wagon train. The author's note is full of facts on what life was like for these brave pioneers. 2002, G T Putnam's Sons, $16.99. Ages 5 to 10. Reviewer: Cheryl Peterson (Children's Literature).
Tooth and Claw: Animal Adventures in the Wild
Ted Lewin
This unique travel book takes animal lovers on journeys around the world. The author shares his fascinating adventures in an appealing narrative-style that young readers will enjoy. Each of the fourteen chapters is introduced with a map of the region. The author recounts his experiences with the native species of the region. He shares his encounter with bull sea lions, "six hundred pounds bigger than Hulk Hogan," on the beaches of the Galapagos Islands. The author also swims in the sea with thousands of marine iguanas. Encounters with grizzly bears in Denali Park, Alaska, leave the author terrified and shaking. Adventures of waiting to spot the deadly puff adder in the Central Kalahari Game Preserve in Botswana are recounted. Author notes at the end of each chapter offer additional information on the animals and their habitat. Each page also includes black and white drawings, sketches or photos that offer important visual images to the reader and function well with the easy-to-read text. This book is an important and useful nonfiction book for classrooms and libraries. A glossary is also included in the endnotes. 2003, HarperCollins, $15.99. Ages 7 to 10. Reviewer: Sue Reichard (Children's Literature).
Top to Bottom Down Under
Ted and Betsy Lewin
The Lewins, particularly Ted, have been taking young readers along on their adventures around the world for years. Here they begin in Kakadu National Park at the northern tip of Australia and end on Kangaroo Island off the southern shore. In the park they encounter local birds, crocodiles, a python, as they glide through the mangrove swamp into a bamboo thicket that recalls the Dreamtime creation stories told by the aboriginals. They travel across the flood plains to see dingoes and predatory kites. Flying across the continent to Kangaroo Island, they find--in addition to kangaroos--emus, koalas, possums, echidnas and a platypus. Nearby, sea lions surround them on a beach, while fairy penguins come out of the sea at sundown. Ted's naturalistic watercolors which depict the animals in action in their habitats, are paired here with Betsy's light-hearted sketchy watercolor drawings, which provide some enlarged details and many scenes of the couple's engagements with animals like the sea lions and the kangaroos. Their cooperative visual narrative contributes to a fuller picture of natural history adding a human context to the adventures. This introduction to a very different world includes additional facts on the creatures they met and a brief list of the Australian slang in the text. 2005, HarperCollins Publishers, $16.89. Ages 6 to 9. Reviewer: Ken Marantz and Sylvia Marantz (Children's Literature).

Blake Lively Workout & Diet: Get Her Long And Lean Legs
Blake Lively WorkoutThe Blake Lively Workout is your guide to getting her long, lean legs and body. Blake Lively's workouts during The Green Lantern were 4 days a week, each for a 90 minute session. For the The Green Lantern, Blake Lively teamed up with celebrity personal trainer, Bobby Strom. Not only did she want to get toned for her up-coming movie, but Vogue also wanted her for a cover shoot soon after.
Her trainer says:
The producers told Blake she should probably work out to get stronger, to strengthen her core, and help prevent injuries and soreness. She'd seen me working with Ryan and she'd seen what I had done for his wife Scarlett Johansson for her role in the action movie, Iron Man 2. When she found out she was going to model in a Vogue fashion spread that would involve swimsuits…she decided she needed to be toned and look more athletic.
Personal Trainer Bobby Strom
Bobby Strom is famous for getting celebrities in shape for their movie roles and music videos. Blake Lively's trainer, was tasked with helping her slim down. She wanted reduce her body fat by 3-4%. That would help show off her long and lean body. So, Bobby Strom says:
To achieve this, we'd start off with a warm-up, such as a light jog, to get the blood flowing before moving onto circuits, which meant she was continuously burning fat. We did around 10 different moves three or four times, repeating the same exercises but never in the same order.
Blake Lively Monday Workout Routine = Total Body Circuit
Total Body Circuit: 3-4 sets of 15-20 reps
- Warm-up: 15 minutes of elliptical/bicycle machine
- Squats (4 exercises are a combo)
- Bicep Curls
- Shoulder Press
- Front Kicks (see video)
- Swiss Ball Alternating Dumbbell Chest Press
- Superset with Tricep Extension
- Weighted Walking Lunge with Glute Squeeze
- Band Rows (alternate: use Cable Rows)
- Stiff-arm Pressdowns or Butterfly Rows
Here is another of Bobby Strom's clients, Adrianne Palicki (G.I. Joe, Wonder Woman, Red Dawn). She is doing one of his famous circuit training sets (as listed above):
Regarding the Weighted Walking Lunges that he had Blake Lively do, Bobby Strom says:
The best way to get great legs fast is to lunge for four weeks. Lunges recruit so many leg muscles that you will see results almost immediately. They also burn more calories than machines do.

|Customer Review Summary for Focal 165 CA1
|The most helpful favorable review:
|The most helpful critical review:
Sound quality is there, very bright but not overly harsh highs. Mids are very lacking off-axis, these speakers beam terribly... not ideal for factory location. These speakers are a little large in diameter for a 6.5" but they mounted up without too much issue. These will get loud with relative ease, but don't expect any bass or much midrange from them when you're pushing them... Had them for about a year when one of them blew... NOT impressed with the build quality.
great sound
sound very good in my car. i have an amp hooked up for optimal performance. they are great. i just wish the tweeters worked as good. as i purchased them all on the same day

Review by
Jeff from Cambridge, ON, Canada
I bought these speakers as an upgrade for my rear doors. They look great in the package and sound better than the $300 Alpine component set I have in the front doors. I have these running directly off an 18Wx4 Clarion NVX602 with no issues. I just wish Sonic had a Focal 6.5" component set to match! I'd buy it in a heartbeat!!!
One word of caution....Do not over tighten the mounting screws as the mounting ring on the speaker is plastic! I noticed the ring deforming as I was tightening the screws. Luckily I caught this and backed off a turn before damaging the speaker!!

Review by
Randall from Morristown, TN
Best sounding speakers I've purchased. Such great sound you can not tell where any of the speakers are located! Very natural balanced sound!!
And I do not even have them on an aftermarket head unit or amp. Running directly off the factory radio. 09. G8!!!

|Great clean sound with correct amplification
Review by
Trey from Broken Arrow, OK
At first I was hesitant buying these because they were the "cost effective" line from Focal. Here we are 6 months later with a consistent 50 watts each on 4 of these speakers. I am very satisfied and would recommend them. I run an Alpine MRP-F450 on these with a 6 volt input and 3/4 gain to the amp. I do not listen to anything at low volume and I assure you these are clean on the vocals and I think they are really well balanced.

Review by
Lonnie from Beaumont, Tx
These speakers are likely the best I've ever owned. Very comparable to Boston Acoustics (I had a set in my last vehicle). On occasion, I'll play a certain song and it's like I forgot how awesome they are....and get all excited all over again. I have a JL 400, 4ch pushing them with a set of coax's up front. Very happy with the setup. I wouldn't do it differently

|Clean Music - A+ Highs, A- Mids, and D for Lows
Review by
PackALack from Ada, Ok
If your looking for bass, you need sub woofers. I have 2 sets of these focals installed and they produce wonderful highs...good mids and poor bass... Thats what you get from a 6" speaker. Just the power from your stock stereo (I have a Honda Accord) is not enough to power them and you will be severely disappointed. Once I installed a 5 channel amp to power these and a 10" sub. Quality was perfect. I would recommend these to anyone who wants to step up their quality of music.
|June 6, 2013
|Awesome for the price...
Review by
Richard from Seattle, WA
For $129, you can't beat them. I have had similar 6.5 in. speakers (Memphis Audio, Rockford Fosgate, Polk) and the Focals are a notch above others in the same price range. The highs are a bit "tinny" at times, but that is my only complaint.
|May 28, 2013
|Awesome Speakers
Review by
Christopher from PA
These speakers were a direct replacement for the awful OEM Subaru speakers in my 2013 wrx. Granted, the head unit is extremely under powered and pretty awful itself, but these speakers really made a difference. I also used RAAMmat vibration dampening and ensolite nice cancellation material. HUGE difference, I cant wait to put in a new head unit and hear them sing. FYI, I was able to pinch the tweeters in the stock locations if you remove the stock shroud piece. Mess around with it, you'll get them in there. I think the rainbow component speaker tweeters fit better, given the chance to do it again I'd give them a try. But these speakers are great for the price. Do your Subaru a favor and throw the stock junk out.

andrew from oakley, CA
Honestly my friend has infinity speakers and these blow them out of the water. The clarity is phenomenal. These speakers throw out crystal clear highs and mids. I had Rockford Fosgate p165's before these and i LOVE rockford but they are simply no match to these Focals. I will only recommend these to people looking to upgrade speakers.

|Great SQ Drivers
Review by
Electric6978 from Kansas City, KS
After listening to multiple brands including JL, Boston, Alpine, Kenwood, and all Focals I decided on this set. The Focal lineup beat all other brands hands down. The Focal 165A1 set are the second best sq set following only the 30th anniversary. These have more punchy mid bass than the poly glass set, and dramatically better sq than the new entry lineup.

Review by
Gary from winder, GA
I have these in the rear doors of my 2013 Mazda CX-5 being pushed by a Polk PA D5000.5 from the OEM head unit through an Audiocontrol LC6i. They sound great, install was easy and these have great mids and bass. I have all the filters on the amp turned off and these hit down to about 40hz and sound great, never bottom out or distort. The tweeters swivel to help adjust the imaging and build quality seems top notch.

Once I figured out how to get the endcap off the roller track (allow several minutes, because it was designed by some dork), I slipped the old roller off the track, put the new roller on, and clipped it to the rack. Then I put the track cap back on (really easy once you've figured out how to get it off) and it was good as new.As for how the cap comes off, it's difficult to describe. But it may help you to know that the cap, despite what it looks like at first, is actually surprisingly long and folded on top of itself. Pulling it directly out doesn't work; you have to unfold it before there's any chance of getting it out.

Women Living with HIV and AIDS in Pakistan
Recently I had an opportunity to meet 39 years women at the HIV clinic in Islamabad. I was there at the clinic to interview women who are HIV +ve .This women ( I am not writing her name on her request) was first diagnosed as +ve three years ago when her husband was at the last stage of AIDS.She said that her husband was severly sick and he was taken to the district hospital where he was reffered to Rawalpindi for tests and treatment.He is no longer alive and she is living at her parents home with three children.She is a simple house wife who even cannot speak clear Urdu.Unaware of the severety and reality of HIV and AIDS she reffered this disease to her destiny .But she doesnot say anything about her husband who might be aware of his status and never disclosed his HIV status to her.
In Pakistan mostly women are getting infections from their husbands .Still there is no data available that how many women are being infected through husbands.
I was thinking that she is one example of those supressed Pakistani House Wives who are unaware about their Health rights and if at some stage in thier lives they need financial help who is going to help them cz in Pakistan still the focus is on creating awareness .I think the time has come now where we have to move further to creat a solid life skill programs for women living with HIV and AIDs.
Hi Qudsia, It's great to see
Hi Qudsia,
It's great to see you here. Yes you are right and that I also wrote the same thing that we are the beings who are at high risk zone because such kind of unawareness which you mentioned in your article which make us sufferer.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this machine. I am a nurse, so I LOVE the sanitizing cycle for my scrubs. I know they are getting clean, and the germs are being killed. This means, the rest of my family's laundry is safe. I love the large capacity. It can get so much laundry done at once that I need my husband to add more laundry lines outside:-) I do not have to go to the laundry mat to wash comforters, and it sucks so much water out of the clothes and bedding that it has cut down dryer time significantly. This washer is so easy to use and maintain; it also gives users a message to run the cleaning cycle after so many cycles to keep the washer working its best. Two tips though: keep the soap tray open when not in use. Also, keep the door open when not in use to let the inside dry out. Also, when your last load is complete. wipe off the gray rubber inside to avoid getting a brown stain on it. These are such simple things to do to keep this phenomenal washer looking and running great!

Washer has a complete set of automated features for various washing conditions. Of particular use is the extra rinse cycle since these types of washers use HE detergent which is highly concentrated with minimal water levels. Soap build up is a real possibility on the outer drum where mold can take hold. So, we use the clean cycle as recommended on a monthly basis. Our last front loader had to be discarded once mold established itself. However, Electrolux could have done us all a favor in their design and designed a much easier sequence to get the washer into the clean cycle. Currently you have to wake the washer, select hand wash cycle, start and then cancel the cycle. Wake the washer again, hold 2 buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the wash indicates it is now in clean cycle. Not an easy sequence to commit to memory.

Comments about Electrolux EIFLS55II White Front Load Washer:
Happy with purchase. I selected because one of the few with reversible door. Only complaint is location of soap dispenser but I'm not sure where else it could be located.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A great product!
By Jay
My wife and I recently moved to a new house from a condo. We needed a new washer and a dryer. After looking at many different washing machines including an all in one similar to to those used in Europe. We decided on a side by side washer and dryer from Electrolux. A trusted brand with a reputation of great quality. We are so pleased with this machine. There are so many washing settings dependent on cleaning needs, and it is very user friendly despite what some reviews state. The machine is easy to maintain and uses very little water and soap. The machine is also very quiet. This machine is very sleek with a simple user interface. We opted for the bottom drawer to raise the machine off the ground. I highly recommend the drawer as it becomes more user friendly eliminating the need to bend over. Our clothes and linens have never felt better against our skin. We are very pleased with our purchase.

Very satisfied with this washer
By Ken
I needed a right hinged front load washer for my installation. This product has a reversible door and it was quite easy to reverse the door by myself. After using this washer, I am impressed with the load capacity and the quiet operation.
My New Washer
By FlippWanda
Love it! You can barely hear it running! Energy Efficient a PLUS. It cleans clothes very well where my other old washer didn't do. I would definitely recommend this to my family and friends. It's big enough to wash a king size comforter. The quick wash does a nice job cleaning my clothes.
Pleased with Purchase
By KrisLeeRN
I read a LOT of reviews on a variety of brands and models of washers and selected the Electrolux EIFLS55IIW. We have had it for 2 months now. I waited to write a review to have some experience with it first. I went from an old school top loader to this top of the line front loader. I must say I'm still amazed at how little water it takes to get the clothes clean. The steam setting is amazing! Although it takes a long time to do a load, my duvet hasn't seen that level of brightness in years. Old stains even released. You can opt for a shorter load. I'm not disappointed in the various laundry settings at all. The clothes come out very dry form an excellent spin cycle (although our old machine didn't set the bar high). My only minor complaint is that my feminine undergarments came out a bit shredded at the elastic seams. I have recently purchased a delicates bag so they don't take the brunt of it. Overall I am happy with this selection and the reviews I read by other buyers aided my purchasing decision thus my willingness to write and submit a review for others.
washer is great but not the dryer
By Tracyj2472
washer is great but not the dryer. The washer makes everything smell so fresh and looking new!
Great machine
By CarT
I really like my new washer. It's easy to use, has a lot of choices for load size, and has the soap dispenser so you can put everything in at the beginning and not worry about getting back at the rinse cycle. I also like the light inside.
Poor design for door hinge
By Aaron
Last week my washer wasn't working right. The door would close and latch enough to run a timed cycle, but not enough for the drum to engage for operation. I could not get the door open. After unplugging the machine and presumably resetting the system I was able to get the door open. When looking closer, I saw that the door was sagging and the catch was dragging on the latch mechanism. I looked at the hinge assembly and saw that some of the screws were loose. Once I tightened all of the screws the door was hanging correctly and the machine started working normally again. The screws may have loosened up over time or they may not have been tight enough in the first place. I plan on checking the screws and hinge assembly on an annual basis from now on.
My new washer
By Lori
I love my new front loading Electrolux washer! It's sleek and beautiful and makes doing laundry a pleasure instead of a chore. I love the Pedistal which means no bending and lifting. I also really like the lights inside the wash drum...very high tech! It makes my laundryroom look lavish!

SUNSET BEACH — The town has passed muster with a Wilmington auditor who gave a presentation at town council's monthly meeting Monday night, Dec. 1.
Auditor Greg Adams of Thompson, Price, Scott, Adams & Co. said there were no significant deficiencies and the town was "above state average" in collections.
The biggest financial losses, he said, were transfers to park and streetscape funds in the past 2013-2014 fiscal year ending this past June 30.
CAROLINA SHORES — New extended hours have launched at the town's solid waste convenience facility.
Town administrator Jon Mendenhall, speaking at the town board of commissioners' monthly workshop Monday morning, Dec. 1, said the new hours took effect that day.
According to a sign posted next door to town hall at the facility, which is now being operated by Waste Industries, it will be open 7 a.m. to noon Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. The center will be closed Sundays and Fridays.
North Carolinians cut back even more on charitable giving for the second year in a row, according to new statistics from the North Carolina Secretary of State's Office.
The just released 2013-14 North Carolina Secretary of State Charitable Solicitation Licensing Division Annual Report shows charities licensed by the state collected $21,437,796.33 during the 12-month period recorded.
That amount is lower than in 2012-13 when North Carolinians gave more than $32 million. It is also the lowest annual amount collected in the past four years.
Last week, I asked readers to share what types of retail businesses they'd like to see here in Brunswick County that don't already exist. My list includes Target; menswear, sportswear and plus-sized women's clothing stores; a lingerie shop that carries a variety of sizes and foundations and caters to women who have had mastectomies and breast reconstruction; a fine wine and beer shop; and a sporting goods store.
Among the other suggestions I received are:
· A toy store
About 6 a.m. Thanksgiving Day, volunteers gathered at Shallotte Presbyterian Church to prepare holiday suppers for those in the community who receive Meals On Wheels. Offered through Brunswick Senior Resources Inc., Meals On Wheels volunteers deliver hot meals to adults 60 and older who are homebound or at BSRI senior centers and sites throughout the county. The volunteers took time out of their holiday with their own families and friends to make sure their neighbors would not go without participating in the traditional feast.
The following cases were adjudicated over five days of District Criminal Court on Nov. 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 in Bolivia.
Codes: PG, pleaded guilty; PNG/NG, pleaded not guilty, found not guilty; PNG/G, pleaded not guilty, found guilty; BCDF, Brunswick County Detention Facility; NCDOC, North Carolina Department of Correction.
Monday, Nov. 17
Judge Pauline Hankins presided over the following cases with prosecutor W. Fred Gore and courtroom clerk Courtney Graham:
Annually in the United States, Thanksgiving week is also honored as a time to give thought and offer action to the plight of homeless hordes whose lives are hidden in the nooks and crannies of our world. Their roof is the sky; their floor is the earth. Shelter is found anywhere they can hide, in woods behind public buildings, huddled in alleyways, housed in vacant buildings marked for destruction. They are invisible in the plain sight of unseeing eyes.

The inaugural Family and Consumer Sciences Day is Wednesday, Dec. 3. In observance of this day, the American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences and the National Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences are asking families to plan and eat a healthy meal together. They are calling for this to be Dining-in Day.
By John Nelson
It got REALLY cold (by my standards) here in central South Carolina last week and a lot of leaves fell. It's the time of the year when you realize, once again, how open your backyard is without all that foliage. And of course, they are perfect for the compost pile.
Our little Mystery Plant has pretty much lost all of its leaves by now, and of course there aren't any flowers to see. (Now.) But there are these very odd structures.
If you've been to our local Walmart or Belk's (who hasn't?), you'll know that the holiday season is in full swing and that means it's time for baking cookies! So many recipes, so little time…

Stock Returns Strong Despite Eurozone Weakness
Following the 1990-1991 global recession, much of core Europe likely could have used accommodative monetary policies to goad growth. But that wasn't an option. Why? The Bundesbank didn't need to stoke German growth but sought to restrain the mark, strengthening the ECU's relative value.
Since the ERM allowed member nations to deviate only marginally from fixed exchange rates, central banks eventually and reluctantly followed Germany's tightening. Thus, their foreign exchange reserves dwindled, GDP fell again across the continent -- a regional "double dip" -- and by fall 1992, the crisis reached a breaking point. On Sept. 16, 1992 ("Black Wednesday"), currency speculators "broke" the Bank of England, and Britain subsequently exited the ERM. But the mechanism's unraveling -- and the European recession -- continued into 1993.
The economic fallout from defending, then later discarding, currency pegs was obvious across Europe in 1992 and 1993 -- but the U.S. and world overall grew, as shown in the chart below.
And perhaps more important for investors, global stock markets proved resilient to Europe's woes. In 1992, world stocks measured in U.S. dollars were down a little -- nearly identical to 2011's small drop. But they rose a hefty 22.5% in 1993, even though much of Europe was in recession as the year began! Why? The problems were Europe-specific and the world overall was fine. What's more, stocks move first. World stocks likely priced in Europe's weakness in 1992 and in 1993 were pricing in better times ahead -- the global economic boom that would last the rest of the 1990s.Recent economic data suggest much of the world is doing fine or even accelerating. History never repeats perfectly, but we anticipate markets can have a similarly robust retort to European weakness in 2012.

Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class Overview
The GLK's 3.5-liter V6 returned a competitive 21 mpg overall. This small SUV rides well, except for some side-to-side rocking on rough pavement. Handling is fairly nimble. The high seating position gives a good view out. The excellent front seats are firm and well shaped. Rear leg room is stingy, and the wide doorsills impede access. Despite a freshening that brought a dash layout that was a slight improvement, the controls remain somewhat convoluted. Fortunately the interior was improved at the same time, with more luxurious materials. Reliability has been above average for both V6 and diesel versions.

Adam West is still the best Batman and will hopefully prove it in LEGO Batman 3
The official LEGO Batman Twitter account posted an image of a Lego Adam West this week (seen above), which hopefully means we'll see a whole lot more of him in the upcoming LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.
Adam West is also going to be a special guest star at the San Diego Comic-Con LEGO Batman 3 panel, which points to the fact that players may be able to quest through Lego Gotham City as the zany Adam West. Or at the very least, he's just making a cameo. My money's on a simple cameo, but how awesome would a playthrough as classic Batman be?
Will the senior-aged caped crusader join LEGO Batman as a playable character or is this all an elaborate ruse by the Joker to get us all to buy the game based on a lofty promise? I guess we'll find out this fall when LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham drops on every current console. And by that, I really mean every current console. It's a little ridiculous.

Hi All,
I have really enjoyed my time this past year getting started on road but i'm wondering in terms of CX bikes, I don't do downhill biking but do typical single track not terribly difficult (no jumps) and was wondering if CX bike can replace a mountain bike. The other reason I ask is because where we are in our family growth, i had typically towing a trailer either mountain or road, and I realize I'm not a fan of riding mtn bike with hybrid tires on the road. Was wondering if CX bike can be a good compromise to do everything bike?
Any thoughts would be great!
