HILTI TE 17 handbook?
Hello all, I've recently inherited a Hilti TE 17 hammer drill - well used, but seemingly working fine - but with no handbook. Not really sure how the chucks work on these and I'm trying to figure out if it has a hammer only function for chiseling etc.
Can't find anything on the web other than this was one of their earliest models. Have emailed Hilti Australia too, but had no response after a week. Wondering if anyone has a handbook for one of these that I can copy, or knows where to get one?

Hi Tony,
there was never much of a handbook on the TE17. Its original carrying case rather came with a 12 page brochure, containing a few pages about the workings and the maintenance, with the remaining print being dedicated to the available accessories and their application. I have the machine, the case and the brochure, but this set is buried somewhere deep beneath a stockpile of tools in storage. Next time i'm delving into this pile and getting close enough to fetch it, i'll scan the manual for you and sent it through this forum.
The machine itself is simple enough. Hilti introduced it in 1967 and so there's no electronics or left/right rotation option yet. Between the drill bajonet and the cast motor and gear housing is a rubber clad studded bajonet, surrounding the piston system. By rotating it and shoving it forward towards the drill bajonet (with a few centimeters of blank alloy cylinder becoming visible) you decouple the hammering mechanism, leaving you with a rotation-only machine. By shoving back and locking the rubber housing bajonet, you combine the rotation with the hammering function again. The machine offers no hammering-only function. For that you need special chisel bits with the coupling recesses having been fretted away on a lathe. These chisels in fact slip inside the drill bajonet coupler, meaning that the coupler turns round idly around the chisel shaft and only the hammering energy is transfered to the chisel tip or edge. This is not an elegant solution, but for short term makeshift jobs it suffices.
The TE17 was Hilti's first hammer drill construction. The brothers Martin and Eugen Hilti started off their small scale machine parts manufacturing shed in Schaan (Liechtenstein) in 1941 and mainly catered for the Swiss textile industry. The brothers were keen weaponry fans and were good shots themselves. Upon learning about shockwave projectile propagation behaviour in solid materials (e.g. artillery shells or hardened steel nails in stone walls) they invented gunpowder driven systems to shoot fastening systems directly into stone without multi-blow hammering or pre-drilling. The development started in 1948 and resulted in the piston and powder cartridge type nail shooter in 1958, for which the main Hilti factory in Schaan was built in 1954.
Contrary to popular believe, the pneumatic hammer drill was not invented by Hilti but by Skil in 1962. Skil's first large commercial hammer drill was the 726 from 1964. The Swiss firm Torna acquired production license rights from Skil USA and built the 726 as the Torna 765 for the European market, from 1965. Hilti acquired service and repair contract rights from Torna; Torna machines could hence be handed in at Hilti sales points for servicing. Hilti took over part of the Torna production in 1967 and a developed a smaller 5 kg version for its own brand. This was to become the TE17.
The TE17 has become a bit of a legend on its own accord. The number is related to Hilti's very own advance capacity measuring system in concrete: the amount of cubic centimeters of concrete compactness grade B30 that can be drilled out in 1 minute.
This way of measuring automatically takes the drill diameter into account: a smaller diameter penetrates quicker than a larger diameter drill, but the volume of material drilled out is roughly the same. So (e.g.) a TE22 achieves 22 cm3 per minute and a TE72 can manage 72 cm3. The TE72 has an alternative version, the TE60, with a higher rpm and a smaller compression cylinder (like the Hitachi DH38Y has the hi-rpm DH28Y alternative).
The TE17 also pioneered Hilti's new patented bajonet drill coupler. To insert the drill, the machine was to be placed on its hind grip with the coupler sticking up. In this position the bajonet's outer bush could easily be slid backward, retracting two cylindrical couplers meant to fit two recessed grooves on either side of the drill shaft. After greasing the shaft and inserting it into the bajonet, the bajonet was to let go and sprung forward automatically. The drill bit was to be turned around until the coupler bodies clicked into the recesses and as a check, the drill had to be tested for approx 1/2 a centimeter of free play forward and backward. This play is necessary to relieve the bajonet itself of the hammering impact forces. Hilti named this bajonet coupler system TE-C and developed the heavier TE-Y version for larger diameter drills. Bosch was keen to take over this brilliantly simple and reliable bajonet solution for its own drills, and averted patent infringement problems by adding an additional slot in the shaft and calling their own shape SDS-Plus ("Steck-Dreh-Sitzt" or "Insert-Turn-Secured"). The copying trick was later pulled off by Bosch for the second time with the TE-Y bajonet: SDS-Max.
The first TE17's have an all metal vintage drill bajonet coupler, with a gnurled bush. Later version have a larger plastic clad bajonet, that was also used on the TE22. The shaft and bajonet designs of the 17 and 22 are interchangeable. In the pics you see the vintage and the later bajonet. The TE22 as a successor featured a 520 Watts motor (450 Watts for the TE17) and rpm-electronics. The first TE22's were also full metal, later version had a nylon motor housing.
Be sure to lightly grease the drill shaft before inserting it, it greatly reduces wear on the bajonet, the couplers, the drill shaft and the dust seal.
The TE17 was so successfull that its size and build were copied many times over. Examples are the Makita HR2510 and the Hitachi DH25V and their predecessors. The TE17 and its larger sister TE72 greatly contributed to Hilti's fame in this field and were obviously even able to mask the fact that they were not Hilti's own original idea (although a bit of the masking was also the result of Hilti's own clever PR).
It is not advised to take a Hilti hammer apart when you're not experienced in doing so and without having an assortment of spare parts ready for backup. Many parts are non-standard and are no longer made or sold by Hilti anyway. Many spares for the TE17, TE22 and TE72 are copies made in China. The TE17's bottom motor bearing is a sintered bronze sleeve and has unique sizes. Many ball and needle bearings have unique custom made sealing systems, because of the oil filling instead of grease lubrication. If your TE17 is in good nick and in any way deer to you, a servicing by a proper Hilti technician will pay off. He will check all seals and bearing and has the means to check on proper piston pressure, ensuring proper hammering force. A leaky Hilti is no fun at all. Is messes up its surroundings and oil dripped into the motor will definitely ruin it. If you're sure that a Hilti performs well and has a good fill of oil, the phrase "if it isn't broken, don't fix it" is very apt.
success and greetings

Wow, Gerhard, thats impresive. I used them for years just know they are almost unstopable.
A good edge takes a little sweat!!

Many thanks for your very detailed reply Gerhard. My Hilti is the same as the photo second down, from the top left, in your second post. Since writing my query, I've had a bit of a play around with the drill and worked out how the chuck system functions. I thought maybe the black disk on top of the main body was a function changer, but your response suggests otherwise. I'm disappointed it doesn't have a hammer-only function (it would be very useful in my current task of hacking out 12 joist housings in a double brick wall) but it works very well nonetheless, and with a fresh drill bit, eats through concrete like its made of cheese - unlike my domestic size Metabo which feels like it's made of cheese.
I will take your advise re servicing and find a Hilti specialist, though it seems to be in pretty good nick for it's age and probably doesn't require any work for the moment.
Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the compliments! The black disc on top of the gear housing is a screw cap with an o-ring seal, meant for draining and refilling the oil. It uses a double pin type spanner, as is used for disc tightening on angle grinders, but with different dimensions. Screw caps like these are used on most pneumatic hammers. Several heavy vintage models for all-day use, like those from Duss, Makita and Bosch, used to have inspection glasses as well, to make regular checks on the oil level easy.
As for suspecting the disc to be a function changer, i can follow your line of thought, since on the TE72 there is a real function changer lever on the same spot, which has to be removed for the oil refill, so the lever doubles as a cap.
For draining, a hammer is to be put upside down over some container tray until it stops dripping. It is important to respect the precise amount of refill oil, as advised by the manufacturer. Using the exact type of oil as suggested by the manufacturer, is also highly recommended.
With grease filled machines like the Hitachis, the blackened used grease has to be wiped out and new grease is applied from a tube. The exact amount and the right type of grease do apply as for oil.
Several German sellers offer ball bearing sets and original Hilti oil for TE17 renovation. In the pic you see these bearings (not the original Hilti ones, but close copies of them), a portion of oil and an exploded view, as put in the packet as a guide for DIY disassembly. If you look closely at the drawing you can see the unscrewed cap and its 0-ring, with the piston crank right underneath, without any coupling/decoupling mechanism to disengange rotation for hammering only. Should you ever want to change the oil yourself: a TE17 needs 40 milliliters of Hilti oil.
24th Jul 2010, 07:57 AM #7
Hi Gerhard,
I have been told by Hilti that they no longer supply oil for the TE17, do you know of a supplier, or could you please suggest an alternative.
29th Jul 2010, 07:17 PM #8
that's a strange reply. What would be so special about the TE17's mechanism for it to require a different oil than (for instance) a TE22 or 52 or 72? If you make a list of all the requirements that this kind of oil has to cater for, it boils down to things like these:
1.it must lubricate gears
2.it must lubricate and seal the compression piston and the free hammering piston
3.it must be heat-resistant and must not get too runny when heated (leakage)
4.it must contain additives preventing metal corrosion, oil oxidation and desintegration
5.it must not attack the seals of bearings and housing parts
6.it must not attack electrical insulation materials
All this comes very close to the task list of a good quality compressor oil. I wonder what happens if you fill a Hilti with a Shell Tellus version (like Tellus 46) that would fulfill the demands above, but that would perhaps be too simple and i never tried it and neither heard of anyone else trying it and reporting back on it. Designing engineers know exactly what happens inside the mechanism, they choose all the proper dimensions and part constructions and they also make sure to apply the right metallurgy and other materials in the right places. In other words: a Hilti's mechanics may be subject to a lot of load stresses and behaviours that few other people than the Hilti people themselves know about for a full 100%. So Hilti oil may contain yet more special additives that compressor oils lack. For that reason i would not be too keen to advise the use of a regular compressor oil without having tested this for years and knowing for sure what i was talking about before suggesting it to others.
Still, i don't understand why a TE17 should require an oil different than for all other Hiltis. I know about experiments with vegetable components, like castor oil. Oil from the castor beans is known for heat resistance and a good shelf life. It clings very well to all surfaces, so it maintains a good lubricating fil on gear teeth and cylinder walls. It is said that Castrol two-stroke mix oil once contained castor oil as an additive, which could explain its name. Sturmey Archer geared hubs also required oil with a partly vegetable addition. This oil was known to dry up a bit when meeting outside air, so it turned to grease in all seams and seals, which was perfect for keeping out sand and dust. So would the TE17's oil have been subject to such a formula experiment? I really don't know for sure, it's something worth finding out.
Hilti's standard hammer oil is called "Turmopol" and it is sold and advised by many German sellers as a valid option for most Hilti hammers.
I will ask around if the TE17 indeed needs special oil, and i'm also curious to know if there would be any harm in filling it with regular Turmopol. I'll get back to you when i have the proper answers. A mail adressed to the Schaan factory will be enlightening, i expect.
In the mean time on the web:
1L Turmopol 20 HD für Hilti TE 60 72 76 805 905 SM-02 bei eBay.de: Bohrmaschinen (endet 11.08.10 16:56:18 MESZ)
This is an example of an original Hilti standard package size Turmopol 20HD on sale, Note the advise underneath for most Hilti rotary hammers and breakers. By the way: look at the price tag for one litre only! Small package offers containing the exact single fill amounts for specific Hilti hammer types, are to be found in abundance on the web.
Also: the safety sheet on Turmopol 20HD:
And since we're at it: these are the recommended fill amounts (millilitres) for most Hiltis. I compared many sites and these are the numbers they all seem to agree on:
20ml: TE12S
35ml: TE14/15/15C/18M
40ml: TE17/22
45ml: TE24/25/35/504/505
50ml: TE52
60ml: TE54/55
70ml: TE60/72/74/75/76
80ml: TE905
120ml: TE92

Thanks for that information Gerhard.
I have TE17 that I purchased back in the early 70's. That was probably one of the best investments I made in my contracting life. I still have the machine but is rarely used these days. Maybe once or twice a year.
I actually made $1,000's with it. It was a chance purchase. I was working in the Bushell's tea factory installing shopfront partitions and I had to stand 10 sets of 3" x 8" RHS steel door columns that forklifts drove through pushing the doors open with the forks.
I had to drill 5/8 holes into 30MPA concrete to insert loxins in. I had a 1/2 Bosch percussion drill and it was taking all day to stand one set of door jambs. There was a carpenter there and he said to me the Hilti rep was downstairs and my reply was who is Hilti. He said he sells drilling machines. So I said send him up. When he came up and he flashed this fancy looking drill at me. I said how much is that and he replied $350.00 and my reply was nobody pays that much a drill and all he said was what size hole are you drilling. He then puts a 5/8 drill bit in the machine and says try that.
I put the bit on the concrete and pulled the trigger and it buried itself quicker than I could say hell!!!!. The next words out of my mouth were "I'LL TAKE IT" He then had the hide to charge me another $90.00 for the 5/8 drill bit.
As I said it was the best investment I ever made in my contracting life.Regards Bazza

Hi Bazza,
thanks very much for your reaction, i love practice stories like that! I totally agree, these are beautiful machines and worth their money. I found that over the years i've used the TE22 the most times, it handles like the 17 but it has electronics (nice for pinpointing a hole) and slightly more powerful hammering. I saw a brand new one on Ebay USA, so it was a 115 Volts version. Never mind, i wanted it and i bought it. It's the one in the pic above, shown in its case. I've added some more of it below. The auction was in July 2009, with the ending of the production of this model being more than 15 years ago. So this is probably one of the last 22s in the world that are still in unused condition and i'll keep it like that. Machines like these will be the "technical antique" classics of the future.
The 22 was in fact the second generation of the 17 and the first types also had an alloy motor housing, like the 17 has. A funny fact is that, of all switch makers in the world, Hilti chose Capax for the manufaturing of a dust proof electronic switch assembly, and Capax is a Dutch firm. Though it must be said that Capax was one of the first making these, they also made electronic switches for Skil, which was a pioneering brand on its own accord.
I've sent the mail about the oil question to Schaan, i'll share their reply here when it comes in. On Ebay Germany very well kept and sparingly used TE17s pop up on a regular basis. On average they still fetch hefty proceeds, which goes to show that many more people around the world have experienced in practice what you and i and many other forum members here have found out!
All the best from Amsterdam!

I also had a TE60 that I bought off a friend who was desperate for some money for $300.00 that he paid about $800 or $900 for. A few years later I sold it for a lot more than I paid for it.
Back in the early 80's I worked for Ramset Fasteners selling their Dyna Drills which were basically made by Bosch but had a Ramset Orange casing.Regards Bazza

I had a similar experience, back in the '80s we were refurbishing an old multi storey in Sydney and had to drill quite number of holes in the concrete floors.
At the time I had a relatively new Makita hammer drill which I thought was Ok till I had to drill this old concrete. It took forever to drill one hole.
A sparky was working nearby and he said, here try this drill, it was a TE 10 which went through the slab like butter.
The Hilti rep couldn't get to the job quick enough for me!
I am still using it and it is as good as ever!
Like you say, it was the best investment I made.

Hello Gerhard,
Sorry for not replying to you sooner.
Thank you for your interest, like you I do not understand why the TE 17 should require a different oil to other Hilti models, all I can think of is that maybe the seals are made from a different material, and using the wrong oil will cause the seals to breakdown, resulting in leaks.
I have had a look at the "Turmopol" oil on ebay; interestingly the TE 17 is not on the list of recommended devices.
I look forward to hearing the results of your inquires.
Thanks again

need Help it Hilti T17
my family owns a T17 since 1973. I am using it since 1983 when we built our house. Now the drills chuck broke and I found a source to purchase a new one.
But I have trouble to remove the broken part and replace it with the new one. Does some one have a manual or drawing from where I could pick up how the assembly is designed?
Any help is certainly appreciated!
Thanks very much!

Hi Siggi,
belowe is a link that shows the steps to undertake:
De-/Remontage Bohrfutter Hilti TE17 TE22
PS.: since the question about the TE 17's lube oil in the post just above springs up again: i sent a mail to Hilti to ask what is supposed to be so special about the TE 17 that it should not be mentioned in the list of machines for which the standard Turmopol is good enough (= virtually all other Hilti's). I never got a reply.
If someone from Hilti reads this and feels the urge to comment; be my guest.

OBERDOERFFER, FRITZ (1895–1979). Fritz Oberdoerffer, musicologist and professor of music, was born on November 4, 1895, in Hamburg, Germany. Oberdoerffer attended school in Hamburg (1906–08) and Jena (1908–14). Following service in the German army in World War I, he studied at the University of Jena in 1919 and at the Leipzig Conservatory from 1920 to 1923, pursuing studies in music theory, music composition, and piano. In 1921 he was awarded the Robert Schumann Stipendium at Leipzig.
On February 14, 1925, he married Rosemarie Herschkowitsch. A daughter, Marianne, was born on February 11, 1926. By 1926 the family had moved to Berlin, where Oberdoerffer took advanced piano lessons from 1926 to 1929 from a famed Russian piano virtuoso, Leonid Kreutzer. In 1929 Oberdoerffer entered the Humboldt University of Berlin to undertake graduate study in music history and literature, philosophy, and German literature. Among his teachers were some of the most influential musicologists of the twentieth century, including Arnold Schering, Johannes Wolf, Erich Moritz von Hornbostel, Curt Sachs, Georg Schünemann, and Friedrich Blume. Oberdoerffer completed his studies at the university in 1933 and received his Ph.D. in 1939. His dissertation, Der Generalbass in der Instrumentalmusik des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts (The Thorough-Bass in the Instrumental Music of the Late 18th Century), was published by Bärenreiter Verlag in Kassel in 1939.
From his arrival in Berlin, through his years of graduate study, and into the years of World War II, Oberdoerffer earned a living by teaching and performing. He received a State Teacher Certificate for piano in 1927 and a State Teacher Certificate for music history in 1933. From 1926 to 1938 he taught piano and music history at various music conservatories in Berlin, including the Klindworth–Scharwenka Conservatory. He was also active in Berlin from 1926 to 1944 as a private instructor of piano, music theory, and music history; as a vocal coach; and as an accompanist and chamber music performer. From 1942 to 1945 (with an interruption from 1944 to the end of the war), he taught music history, ear training, and score playing at the Institute for Evangelical Church Music in Berlin–Spandau. Before the end of the war Oberdoerffer and his wife and daughter were compelled by the Nazis to work in a forced labor camp. After World War II, Oberdoerffer was appointed chief of archive records and tapes at the library of Radio Berlin, a position he held from 1945 to 1948. In 1949–50, he was employed as an editor with the C. F. Peters Corporation, a music publisher, in New York City.
He moved to Austin in 1950 to become a guest professor at the University of Texasqv. There, his duties included teaching courses in musicology, music history and literature, piano, and coaching. He remained a "guest" from 1950 to 1964, at which time he was given a permanent appointment and promoted to the rank of professor. From 1964 until his retirement in July 1974, he taught courses in musicology, music history and literature, and coaching. In addition to his teaching responsibilities at UT, Oberdoerffer continued to pursue his research. He wrote an extended article on thorough-bass (Generalbass) for the eminent German music encyclopedia Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart, as well as ten smaller articles for the same publication. He also published articles in leading scholarly journals such as Acta Musicologica, Die Musikforschung, and Musica, as well as articles in Deutsche Tonkünstlerzeitung, Neues Musikblatt, American Music Teacher, and Texas String News.
However, even in his research, he was never far from his passionate love of performance and from his commitment to making the music of seventeenth and eighteenth century Europe available for general performers. He worked tirelessly to produce modern performing editions of vocal and choral compositions, chamber music, and orchestral works of these centuries. His numerous editions include works by composers such as Melchior Vulpius (1570–1615), Heinrich Schütz (1585–1672), Johann Rosenmüller (1619–84), Christoph Bernhard (1628–92), Dietrich Buxtehude (1637–1707), Henry Purcell (1659–95), Louis–Nicolas Clérambault (1676–49), Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767), Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), Michael Haydn (1737–1806), and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–91). His editions were published by Bärenreiter, Kassel–Wilhelmshöhe; Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis; Lienau, Berlin–Lichterfelde; C. F. Peters, New York; B. Schott's Söhne, Mainz; and Vieweg, Berlin–Lichterfelde. In 1974, after twenty-four years on the faculty of the Department of Music at the University of Texas at Austin, Oberdoerffer retired. In recognition of his distinguished service, he was named professor emeritus. He died in Austin on December 8, 1979.

Decks to Delight You
From Engineering on May 06, 2009 in Decks and Patios
Spring is here and its open season for indoor/outdoor living. I was at one of my local home and garden centers over the weekend, and it was a party! Theres nothing like that early Saturday morning buzz that bubbles up among dozens of happy householders chatting over planters, browsing the racks of blooming things, discussing deck furniture, and tossing gardening supplies onto their trolleys. Its a guaranteed high. After all that enthusiastic carrying-on, I want to share the effervescence of the season with you. You might already be going like a house a-fire on your own deck decorating, or maybe, like some of my friends, youre in planning mode for building or adding on to your deck this year. In either case, theres nothing like looking at great examples of deck design for inspiration. Here are some beauties, custom built by some of CalFinders licensed contractors:
Redwood Multi-Level Deck
Equinox Landscape Construction
With all the lush greenery, this large deck gives the luxury of feeling suspended up in the trees. It takes advantage of the hillside terrain by being built on levels, connected by a gracious staircase. The railings are integrated into the design for safety and beauty and enhance the structures overall appeal.
Architectural Simplicity and Harmony
Elegant contemporary architectural design joins this deck seamlessly to the house with ease. The repetition of materials used for the house is complemented with different elements and materials that, all together, make a striking combination. Subtle and welcoming.
All You Needs a Broom (and a Barbeque)
Dont you love how this design incorporates the tree while creating a smooth surface that virtually eliminates a whole lot of yard work? The retaining wall shores up the hill as it slopes steeply down towards the house, and at the same time it defines the floor space of the deck. Talk about property improvement!

Brett and I ate our first duplicate dinner since going paleo. We ate the Crock-Pot Smoked Beef Brisket again last night and for lunch today! I do think it has been my favorite meal so far!
For tonight's dinner: A friend of ours made these and said they were great, so I had to try them! The recipe is from PaleOMG. I did modify it, but you can click the link for the original if you like! She also has a recipe for a dipping sauce, but I didn't have time to get that done tonight!
Cilantro "Chicken" Nuggets
- 1lb ground ground turkey
- 1 egg, whisked
- 3 T Freeze Dried Cilantro
- 2 teaspoons animal fat or olive oil
- 1/2 cup Coconut Flour
- 1/4 teaspoon ginger
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons Coconut Oil
- Mix all of your nugget ingredients together: ground turkey, egg, cilantro, animal fat or oil, ginger, and salt and pepper.
- Now heat up a large skillet under medium heat and add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil.
- Place your coconut flour in a shallow bowl.
- Make small balls from your nugget mixture, "nugget sized" and place each nugget in the coconut flour (being sure to only lightly dust the nuggets) then place in your skillet.
- Use a spatula to slightly flatten out each nugget. It only needs just a little press down.
- Cook on both sides for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through.
These were good as is! I'm definitely going to make them again, but I want to play with the idea of adding bacon and garlic powder….OR just making them this way again WITH the dipping sauce.
Today's workout was called the Filthy Fifty. Here's the rundown:
50 Box jump, 24 inch box. 50 Jumping pull-ups. 50 Kettlebell swings, 1 pood. Walking Lunge, 50 steps. 50 Knees to elbows. 50 Push press, 45 pounds. 50 Back extensions. 50 Wall ball shots, 20 pound ball. 50 Burpees. 50 Double unders.
You can click the link above for a YouTube video for the workout. I was honestly dreading this workout! I had been so nervous about it today that I really thought I was going to be sick before it even started. However, I LOVED it! Don't misunderstand my love for ease. It was definitely a tough one, but I felt so accomplished after it was over.
For the box jumps I did 30 jumps and 20 step-ups on a 20″ box. I used an 8 kg kettlebell for the KB swings. I did my knees to elbows on the floor. I used a 33 lb bar for the push press. I did supermans for the back extensions. I counted attempts for the double-unders. I had around 30 actual double-unders and probably 20 attempts. I've only done double-unders a couple times and have always counted attempts and singles. Every time I've tried previously, I've had a max of three per workout. Tonight I was getting in three at a time!!! I was so excited that I even picked up the jump rope to do some more after the workout was over. My time was 43:03, and I was pumped! 500 reps in that time without dying! :)
Brett did the workout as prescribed (above). His time was 33:45. He's an animal!

The most important thing for people in the suburbs, who are often sheltered and keeping secrets from their family, she says, is a space to be open about who they are.
In addition, she says, the lack of a corporate sponsorship means everything is DIY and they rely on volunteers. Which hasn't necessarily slowed them down. CAAN held its first gay pride parade in 2009 in downtown Joliet and is currently garnering support for an annual pride festival. CAAN has put together a Voters' Guide, which offers similar information to that of Equality PA.
And unlike Rainbow Serenity, Fester claims there's been no pushback against their group—other than anonymous comments on newspaper websites. But, "you read the newspapers in any type of city and you read the comments and they are horrible," she says. Most recently, those comments began popping up after their annual gay pride parade in Joliet—which strikes her as hopeful, because it's the haters that are beginning to become closeted.
"Frankly, every time we end up meeting adversity I think it's made us stronger," says Wagman, claiming that even Lambda Legal, the nation's oldest legal organization for the civil rights of gays and lesbians, has stopped returning his phone calls. "I know if we were opening the Boys and Girls Club of America, we could open it up tomorrow and we'd have a lot of support. But the reality is, we're not."

Three Added To Drake Men's Basketball Coaching Staff
Thursday, May 26, 2011
DES MOINES, Iowa—Drake University men's basketball head coach Mark Phelps announced Thursday three additions to his coaching staff. Brett Nelson, in his seventh season as a collegiate coach after an All-America career at Florida, joins the staff as assistant coach, while former Arizona State point guard Jamelle McMillan was named director of basketball operations and former Drake guard Ryan Wedel as named graduate manager.
"We are very excited to welcome three new staff members to the Drake basketball family," said Phelps. "Brett Nelson, Jamelle McMillan and Ryan Wedel each bring outstanding basketball acumen, experience and passion to their respective positions and will be a great resource for our players. They each enjoyed outstanding college playing careers and demonstrated leadership qualities as captains on their respective teams."
Nelson joins Phelps' staff at Drake after spending the 2010-11 season at Arkansas. With Nelson on staff in his sixth coaching season and fourth as a bench coach, the Razorbacks finished 18-13, tied for third place in the SEC Western Division.
"Brett is a talented and experienced basketball coach with a commitment to excellence and high-level integrity and character," said Phelps. "He excels in all aspects of the profession, including on-the-floor coaching and skill instruction, scouting and game preparation, mentoring and recruiting. Brett's high-level playing experience, instinctive basketball savvy and IQ, and his terrific all-around personality will serve our players and our program extremely well. We are very happy to welcome Brett, Jamie and Eli into the Drake family."
In his one season at Arkansas, Nelson played a strong role in the recruitment of one of the nation's top 10 incoming classes. The 2011-12 Razorbacks class includes five players ranked in the top 106 in the country by ESPN.
"I'm very excited to be part of the family of Drake University," Nelson said. "Coach Phelps has a vision and a clear plan for Drake basketball. The future is very bright under his direction, and that of (Athletic Director) Sandy Hatfield Clubb. The commitment is there to do some special things and take the Bulldogs to the next level."
Nelson was hired at Arkansas May 20, 2010, after a two-month stay at Central Florida, where he was to continue working under head coach Donnie Jones, with whom he coached at Marshall from 2007-10.
In the final season of his three-year run with the Thundering Herd, Nelson helped lead the team to a 24-10 finish in 2009-10 and a postseason win in the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The postseason appearance was the first for a Marshall team in 22 years and its 11-5 record and third-place finish in Conference USA was the best since 2000-01.
The time at Marshall also developed Nelson's skills as gifted recruiter. He was instrumental in the recruitment and development of Marshall's Hassan Whiteside, who was named C-USA freshman and defensive player of the year. Whiteside led the nation in blocked shots in 2009-10 (182), the fourth-best single-season total in NCAA history. Whiteside was drafted after his freshman year 33rd overall by the Sacramento Kings in the 2010. Nelson's tutelage also attracted multiple All-C-USA players and a sixth-man of the year award winner.
Prior to coaching at Marshall, Nelson served as Director of Operations at Virginia Commonwealth (2006-07) and Colorado State (2005-06). His VCU tenure included a 28-7 record and first round NCAA Tournament victory over Duke while working with current Alabama head coach Anthony Grant.
As a player, Nelson made himself into one of the best in Florida's history, leading the Gators to a Final Four and placing himself in the record books numerous times. A three-year starter, Nelson completed his career as Florida's school record-holder in three-point baskets made and attempted and ranked second on the all-time charts in steals, fifth in steals per game, sixth in assists and assists per game and 14th in scoring (1,416).
Nelson was named a preseason semifinalist for the Naismith Award as a senior in 2002-03. He also was an ESPN.com third-team and Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American in 2000-01, and was named to the 2000 NCAA Tournament All-East Regional team.
Nelson completed his collegiate eligibility in the winter of 2003 and stayed at Florida to finish his bachelor's degree in sociology in 2004. He played one season of professional basketball in Sweden in 2005 before returning to the United States to start his coaching career.
Nelson and his wife Jamie gave birth to their first child, Eli in September 2010.
McMillan is in his first year of coaching after a standout playing career at Arizona State. A former team captain for the Sun Devils, McMillan finished his career having played in 122 games and tied a school record by winning 80 of those contests over his four-year career.
"I have known Jamelle since his grade-school years when he attended basketball camp at North Carolina State," said Phelps. "Jamelle is a man of character and excellence who is the beneficiary of life-long exposure to the game at the highest level. He is a young star in our profession who has consistently demonstrated and modeled high achievement in every part of his life, including basketball. These attributes and experience, along with a great work ethic, passion for the game and for people, and advanced maturity make him a terrific addition to our staff."
McMillan was part of a trio of 2010-11 seniors who were the first in Sun Devils history to record 80 wins over the course of their careers. McMillan started 78 games at ASU and played a crucial role as the team's floor leader in each of his four seasons. His importance to the team was reflected in its 74-48 (.607) record with him in uniform and 6-5 (.545) ledger without him, as he recorded an impressive 321-153 assist-to-turnover ratio (2.10).
"I feel very fortunate and blessed to have the opportunity to accept such a great position at Drake University," McMillan said. "With the quality of the people and their dedication, as well as the support staff I've met, Drake seems like the best fit for me. It's a place where I feel I can get a successful jump-start on my career. I'm excited to get started and looking forward to a great season ahead.
A full-time starter over his final two seasons (2009-10, '10-'11), McMillan led the Pac-10 in assist-to-turnover ratio as a senior and finished 14th nationally at 2.68 (110 assists and 41 turnovers). He finished his career ranked 10th in ASU annals for three-point shooting percentage at 37.3%.
The captain and team leader averaged 11.0 points in the final 11 games and was 23-of-50 (.460) from three-point range. McMillan posted three of the top scoring games of his career in the final 11 contests.
The son of Portland Trail Blazers head coach and former NBA player Nate McMillan, Jamelle in the summer of 2008 spent 16 days in China for the Olympics with Team USA, for whom his father was an assistant coach.
McMillan was one of the top point-guard recruits on the west coast his senior year (2006-07) at O'Dea High School in Seattle, Wash., after leading his team to three state titles (2004, '05 and '07). He was ranked as the top point guard on the west coast by Rivals and the No. 99 player overall by Scout.com after a senior season that saw him named Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Washington.
Jamelle McMillan was born Dec. 30, 1988 in Seattle. He received his bachelor's degree in communication from Arizona State in May 2011.
Wedel takes over the role of graduate manager for the Drake basketball team, but is no stranger to the program, having been a member of the team for the past three seasons. The unquestioned leader on and off the court, and a captain last season, Wedel will have the opportunity to continue building on the foundation he has set for the team's future success.
"I have the highest respect and admiration for Ryan," said Phelps. "He was my first recruit as a head coach and set the standard for excellence, passion, commitment and work ethic for our basketball program in his three years here. He was born to play and coach the game, and I am thrilled that he begins his coaching career here at Drake. He will be an invaluable asset to our program, as he has instant credibility with our players, coaches, administration and everyone in the Drake community. His high-level basketball IQ, experience as a player, commitment to excellence and competitive fire will add immediate value to every part of our basketball program."
After a redshirt year in 2008-09 that followed his transfer from Arkansas State, Wedel stepped into the Bulldogs' lineup in 2009-10 and earned Missouri Valley Conference All-Newcomer honors. He played in all 64 games (63 starts) in his two seasons of play, and his 137 three-point baskets are eighth-most Drake's career list.
"I am excited about the opportunity to continue to be a part of the Drake Men's basketball program," Wedel said. "I am looking forward to the chance to work more in-depth with the coaching staff."
A two-time second-team All-MVC Scholar-Athlete, Wedel averaged 11.0 points per game and posted a 3.24 grade-point average, earning his bachelor's degree in management and marketing. His steady leadership on the floor produced a 112-85 assist-to-turnover ratio, as he selflessly switched from point guard to off guard midway through his junior season, and back to point guard midway through his senior campaign.
Wedel posted a top-10 mark for three-pointers in each of his two seasons of eligibility, dropping 66 in 2009-10 (T-10th) and 71 in '10-'11 to tie for seventh. His career high of 29 points came in a spectacular showcase on senior night, Feb. 23, 2011, as the lone senior on the Drake squad drained five three-pointers in the Bulldogs' 87-69 win.
In his final season Wedel started all 31 games and either led or shared the team lead in scoring 10 times. He ranked third in the conference in three pointers (71) and seventh in three-point shooting percentage (40.3%). In his junior season of 2009-10 he averaged 11.1 points per game and ranked second in the MVC in steals with 51 (1.5 per game).
Wedel was a two-year starting point guard at Arkansas State (2006-07, '07-'08), where he led the Sun Belt Conference in three-point baskets in 2007-08 with 90, second-best on the school's single-season list. He averaged 15.1 points per game to earn third-team all-conference honors.
Named Mr. Basketball in the state of Kansas in 2006, Wedel scored 25.6 points per game with 6.5 rebounds and 6.2 assists to cap a career in which he led his Minneapolis High School squad to record of 87-14 and three final four appearances in the Kansas Class 2A state tournament.
Michael Ryan Wedel was born July 30, 1987 in Minneapolis, Kansas.

With the Baylor Bears' easy non-conference schedule, should fans expect another drop off when Big 12 play begins?
For the second year in a row, the Baylor Bears' non-conference schedule doesn't have any eye-popping teams.
ESPN's Brandon Chatmon just released the Big 12′s hardest and easiest schedules, and the Bears are by far the team with the easiest non-conference schedule.
Chatmon said the following.
It's unlikely Baylor will get tested before its first conference game. The Bears were recently forced to add FCS opponent Wofford after their game with SMU was cancelled, so Louisiana-Monroe could be their toughest nonconference test. They should pile up the victories but might not know much about their team before conference play.
The Bears' collapse when Big 12 play began was well documented after the team lost in a 70-63 shootout with the West Virginia Mountaineers. Baylor eventually lost five of its first six Big 12 games before turning its season around against the No. 1 Kansas State Wildcats.
Last season, the combined record of Baylor's non-conference opponents was 26-15. But its opponents were an inconsistent SMU team, a Sun Belt team in ULM and an FCS team in Sam Houston State. Things don't get much better this upcoming season.
After SMU dropped the Bears on its schedule, the team replaced the Mustangs with FCS-member Wofford. Buffalo and ULM round out the rest of the schedule. The combined record is 21-17.
Should Baylor expect the same kind of drop off when the Mountaineers visit Waco? It's possible, especially since Baylor will have a new quarterback for the third consecutive year. The Big 12 is in the running for the second most competitive conference, behind the dominant SEC.
Granted there are Big 12 teams who have lost major contributors. West Virginia lost Geno Smith and Tavon Austin, Kansas State no longer has Collin Klein and Kansas isn't scaring any team at the moment. Baylor plays these three teams in its first four Big 12 games.
One thing is for sure, however. If Baylor struggles against WVU, KSU and Kansas, it will have a miserable second half of the season when it has to play TCU, Texas, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in a span of five weeks.

A headstone marks the graves of Joseph Babcock, 21, Moriah Brough, 20, and their children, Jaydon, Angel and Kendall, in Salem. / Maggie Huber/Special to The C-J
NEW PEKIN, IND. — Its been a long four months for the Brough family since the March 2 tornadoes took the lives of Moriah Brough and Joseph Babcock and the couples three young children, Jaydon, Angel and Kendall.
In many ways, it still doesnt seem real, that they are all gone, said 18-year-old Kendra Brough, Moriahs sister. But the reminders are everywhere.
Friday would have been Jaydons third birthday, and Kendra Brough said she is certain that Moriah, who was 20, would have had a Mickey Mouse-themed party for her oldest child because of his love for the cartoon character.
Jack Brough, Moriahs father, said he still feels his daughters warmth and hears her laughter.
To me, shes not dead, he said. Shes still alive; I feel her presence every day. Not being able to see her is mind-boggling; that is something I still have to come to terms with.
As the storm approached, the family of five had left their mobile home for a neighbors larger mobile home and were lying down in it when the tornado smashed through both homes and tossed the family members into a nearby field. The only immediate survivor was 15-month-old Angel, who died two days later.
In all, 35 people across Kentucky and Southern Indiana were killed in the March 2 outbreak.
Angels initial survival captured the attention of people across the world. Dozens of major media outlets from as far away as Great Britain, Norway and New Zealand requested news about her and continued their news coverage until the familys funeral.
Recently, a large black, granite headstone that had been donated to the family was placed at the Crown Hill Cemetery in nearby Salem, where the family is buried together in two caskets. Until last month, the grave site, paid for by the county, had only five small markers.
The headstone has a white concrete angel on top and is surrounded by dozens of flower arrangements, candles, stuffed animals and other memorial items placed there by family, friends and strangers wishing to pay their respects.
Jack Brough has not been able to bring himself to drive to the cemetery and see the new headstone.
Ive seen pictures, and it looks very nice, he said. But thats not how I want to remember them. Ill get up there. I just havent been able to do it yet.
In the months since the tornadoes, the Brough family has continued to face difficult times.
In April, Kendra Brough, who suffers from kidney disease and is on dialysis, was in surgery at Norton Hospital in Louisville when she suffered a stroke that left her briefly paralyzed on her left side.
She spent several weeks at Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville recovering and recently moved into her fathers apartment in New Pekin to continue her rehabilitation. She recently regained movement in her left leg and learned how to walk again, but her left arm is still paralyzed.
While she was in the hospital, her 22-month-old son, Joseph, slipped and broke his right leg.
It seems like it has been one thing, right after another, Kendra Brough said. I wish Moriah was still here so I could talk to her; I wish I could still hold her babies. Ive tried to cope with it all the best I can, and I know they are all looking down on us, but its still incredibly hard.
Jack Brough has been working 10-hour days at Worley Lumber Co. in New Pekin to help support his family, including Kendra and her son; his wife, Tanya; and his other daughter, Jayla, who gave birth Wednesday to a boy named Josiah.
But the two-bedroom apartment is too small for the family, and they are hoping to save enough money to purchase or rent a house in New Pekin.
About a mile down the road from the apartment is the plot of land where Joseph Babcock and Moriah Broughs mobile home stood before the tornado leveled it. Debris is still piled in yard, but the spot has become a makeshift memorial: A 5-foot wooden cross is surrounded by candles, flowers and stuffed animals.
Neighbors say people stop by often to pay their respects. Just recently, a framed picture was placed near the base of the cross with words that summarize the young familys plight:
Out of the rubble an angel arose and united the hearts of the world. Jesus said come home my child, your work is done. Rest in peace, beautiful Angel and family.

Are you leading a project that has similar missions and priorities as those of the Veolia Foundation?
Bombay - now called Mumbai - is famous the world over for its economic dynamism, as well as its slums. The association "Un Toit à Bombay" is helping the families of the Jamrushi Nagar slums to find other lodgings.
It now offers its help to the little girls who are too often abandoned to their own devices during the day.
India still has a vast number of slums, especially in Mumbai. The association "Un Toit pour Bombay" was created in 2007, after the Indian government decided to clear the slum of Jamrushi Nagar, while building alternative housing some 20 kilometers away.
This move entails the payment of 7000 rupees (150 euros) by the families.
The association started to help about forty of them to settle in these new (and very small) dwellings. Yet many families decided not to budge, and Colette Battistini, president of the association, decided to focus its efforts on the little girls who continue to live in a very difficult situation.
In the slum, the families generally earn just enough money to have one meal a day, but cannot afford to pay the costs of schooling or healthcare. Besides, the little girls often have to remain at home to babysit their siblings when the mothers go off to work.
Food, education and health thanks to a day shelter
Following the signature of a partnership with a highly respected NGO in India, Navnirman Samaj Vikas Kendra, the project of a day shelter began to take shape.
At the start, the association wanted to start a boarding school, but a survey of the families showed that they wanted their children to return home every evening.
About fifty girls, aged 6 to 15, will therefore be welcomed from 7 am to 6 pm. A room has already been found, but a great deal of work still needs to be done for the shelter to be operational.
The foundation's support for these arrangements will enable the shelter to perform its function as of late 2009. The girls will attend school either in the morning or the afternoon. The rest of the time, they will therefore be staffed by unpaid volunteers.
The program includes a meal (or maybe two), washing facilities and tutoring.
While this framework may seem quite natural, it's going to change everything for these children.

The Denver Broncos announced via Twitter (where else for them, considering that's how they fired Josh McDaniels) that they'll interview Falcons offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey for their head coaching position on Friday.
Mularkey's name's been bandied about for many of the openings around the NFL recently, and with good reason -- while offensive coordinator with the Steelers from 2001-2003, his offenses ranked 2nd, 3rd and 18th in yards and 3rd, 5th and 22nd in points scored, respectively.
That earned him the head coaching gig with the Buffalo Bills, where after two years he resigned with a 14-18 record, which is actually pretty respectable given that it's the Bills.
Mularkey's spent the past three years as offensive coordinator for Mike Smith's Falcons. In the process, he's helped the team make the playoffs two out of three years, developed Matt Ryan into a Pro Bowl-caliber quarterback, and his offenses ranked 6th, 16th, and 16th in yards and 10th, 13th and 5th in total points scored.
In other words, Mularkey's career trajectory was straight rolling, until it got completely derailed by a stint in Buffalo. It's taken three strong years with the Falcons to solidify him as another head coaching candidate and clearly, people have taken notice.
There's certainly no guarantee that the Broncos will pull the trigger on Mularkey based on Friday's interview, but given his head coaching experience, offensive prowess, and time working with a struggling organization, he's certainly got a good shot at landing the gig.

We're from Boston.
Sure we're off traveling the world and we have no idea where or when we'll settle down, but if you ask our kids where they're from, they'll always say Boston. We lived there for 10 years, and we know the city well.
The folks at Knok.com asked if we would spotlight Boston as part of their 100 cities to home swap before you die. I don't think the kids could handle turning down a chance to spread the word about the city they love.
1) The St. Patty's Day Parade! - We missed it this year, but it's a big family tradition. The parade's on Sunday each year and it's just one of those casual, local, special events that you shouldn't miss. Nothing fancy here; no big floats or TV cameras. But the kids will love the free candy that's thrown out by the local firemen and police officers, and by 12:00 PM the adults are loving the Guinness. Get there early to find a good spot, and bring chairs if you're able. You'll see everything at this parade!
2) Grendel's Den - Up in Cambridge there's this little basement pub/restaurant/hangout that welcomes kids and serves cheap, creative food and drinks. Everything on the menu's half price from 5-7:30 daily and 9-11:30 pm (Sun-Thurs). Enjoy the food and warm fire.
3) Jamaica Pond - Down in Jamaica Plain, you'll find a beautiful oasis that rents rowboats, sailboats, and offers a fully stocked pond for fishing. Go for a walk or run around the 1.5 mile loop, or just sit out on the grass and enjoy the sun. If you get hungry, head down Pond St. and grab a burger and bourbon milkshake at Grass Fed.
4) George's Island - Do yourself a favor and skip the vomit comet, AKA the whale watch, and take a ferry to George's Island. Old Fort Warren sits here and provides wide-open spaces to run around and explore. Pitch black tunnels and stairways go unguarded here, so make sure you bring your flashlight. It is the perfect place for hide-and-seek and history buffs. And for all you campers - don't forget to look into Grape Island.
5) The Blue Hills - Just south of the city you'll find a huge reservation where you can hike, swim, ski, picnic, and get lost. If the outdoors is your thing, then the Blue Hills are your place.
6) Boston's Speed Hot Dog - Find this hot dog truck in Boston's slightly seedy warehouse district, and you'll find gold. Don't judge a hot dog by its truck! This is homemade, tasty, and one-of-a kind.
7) Castle Island - A South Boston landmark, this old fort greets you as you enter Boston Harbor and provides you with a day's worth of activities. Playgrounds, fishing, and summer fun, the "island" is a great way to see a local side of Boston. It also offers the best place in the city to view the planes that fly right over your head as they land at Logan.
8) Mr. Dooley's Irish Breakfast - On Sunday mornings, this quaint pub serves the biggest and best breakfast you'll find in town. Listen to a horse and carriage trot by and start your day off right! There's also great authentic Irish music live on Friday nights.
9) Cabot's! - Looking for the biggest ice cream sundae you can find? Well. . . you found it! Go to Cabot's, grab the menu, and have fun. The prices are good. The atmosphere is fun and easy! And I promise you that you've never had anything like the Dentist's Disaster!
10) The Arnold Arboretum - Over 265 acres of trees, plants, and wildlife make up the oldest arboretum in the country. It's a beautiful place that's full of hills, cliffs, and streams. Boston's great city oasis. Perfect for walking, biking, rollerskating or scootering. And make sure you check out the lilac festival on Mother's Day.
We hope you enjoy Boston. If you're ever in town, and are looking for more than this list offers, you MUST contact us!

This month I have been guest blogging on Lynn Butler's color-themed blog Little Blue Dish. Today I mused on a gorgeous Valentine's Day theme wedding in San Francisco. Revisiting these photos was a reminder how much I love the little things the personalize the event. For all its exuberance, one of my favorite details was this vintage handkerchief that the bride had embroidered with little red hearts. What a sweet touch.

I'm so fortunate to travel to wonderful locations for many of my weddings and assignments. Over the years I have shot several destination wedding events in the seaside town of Watch Hill, Rhode Island. Here is a picture taken of their vintage carousel. Each hand-painted wooden horse has been lovingly restored for the enjoyment of visitors. The most recent wedding I shot in this amazing town is published today on the Style Me Pretty blog. Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary to Tziporah & Charlie! They were married on the beautiful Bald Head Island on a warm November day. I'm working on a digital brochure to send out to my clients and had fun revisiting the pictures from this exquisite wedding. I just love navy and it was the perfect classic touch for the decor and details.
Thursday, November 1, 2012
When the editor at BRIDES (UK) called me about a story they were doing on color I quickly pulled together some vibrant samples of recent weddings I have shot for top event designers. I was delighted to learn that they chose to run three weddings in the November/December issue now available on newsstands.
The "orange pop" event was designed by Tara Guerard of Charleston, South Carolina and featured in her book "Weddings by Tara Guerard" published by Gibbs Smith.
The other two events "Lush Lilac" and "Pale Pink" were designed by Isabella Sikaffy of Florabella Weddings in San Francisco, California.
A warm thank you to my couples for sharing their beautiful wedding days with the world.

I would like to welcome guest blogger Adrian Cherry. Adrian will describe a very handy utility that shows how basic built-in Matlab functions can be improved and customized by just a bit of fiddling under Matlab's hood.
Legend Plotting
Whilst I enjoy using the many time saving features of Matlab, one area where I feel it suffers is the technical plotting and annotation. This tale relates the development of a legend plotting routine, gridLegend, in an effort to improve the presentation.
In my day job we have a requirement to condense a large quantity of data onto summary charts. However, there is only so much data consolidation possible before you start losing the information required. We often need to plot 40 or 50 lines of test data to visualize trends or outliers, using the legend to identify the number of test hours against each test specimen.
Using the standard Matlab legend function resulted in a long legend over twice the size of the associated plot:
I wanted some way of generating a more compact legend format.
Fortunately earlier in the year, an entry on Matlab Central allowing a multi-column legend to be generated was posted, columnlegend. Although lacking some features, columnlegend gave me a good start on developing what I wanted for a multi column legend, culminating in gridLegend:
Delving into the Undocumented Matlab
So where is the link with undocumented Matlab?
As mentioned in the original columnlegend entry, it was relatively simple to redraw the legend as required on the screen. However, as soon as the figure was printed or exported to an image file, internal Matlab workings would redraw the figure, including the legend, thereby undoing my careful legend crafting, squeezing it back into one column (Yuck!):
As we wanted to automatically output images files, I had to delve into the hidden areas of Matlab to try to solve this problem.
My initial thought was to find out where the figure got redrawn for printing or export and override the standard legend call with a call to my new function. I couldn't find the obvious culprit, stepping as far as I could through the print function there didn't appear to be any call to the legend function.
In my search for information on how the legend worked I found the undocumented Matlab article about generating dynamic legends. This dynamic-legend post covered details about attaching a listener to a child of the legend axes, in Matlab the legend function creates its own set of axes on the figure to display the legend.
Armed with the information that legend axes objects could have listeners attached, I considered that these might be the source of redrawing the legend for printing. So with the legend I had generated I took a look at what listeners were attached, using the undocumented hidden axes property ScribeLegendListeners:
>> legendListener = get(gca,'ScribeLegendListeners') legendListener = fontname: [1x1 handle.listener] fontsize: [1x1 handle.listener] fontweight: [1x1 handle.listener] fontangle: [1x1 handle.listener] linewidth: [1x1 handle.listener] deleted: [1x1 handle.listener] proxydeleted: [1x1 handle.listener]
The font size and line positioning were all being redrawn for printing so this was potentially the source of my problem. However I'd not looked at a handle.listener before, so a little further digging was required:
K>> get(legendListener.fontname) SourceObject: [1x1 schema.prop] Container: [1x1 axes] EventType: 'PropertyPostSet' Callback: {2x1 cell} CallbackTarget: [] Enabled: 'on'
The option Enabled immediately drew my attention, and so the following lines were added to my gridLegend function to switch off these listeners and apply it back to the legend:
LL = get(gca,'ScribeLegendListeners'); set(LL.fontname,'enabled','off'); set(LL.fontsize,'enabled','off'); set(LL.fontweight,'enabled','off'); set(LL.fontangle,'enabled','off'); set(LL.linewidth,'enabled','off'); set(gca,'ScribeLegendListeners',LL);
Finally allowing me to output the image files with a multi-column legend:
So my thanks to the contributors on Matlab Central who enabled me to get started on gridLegend and to Yair for collating the many nuggets of information on Undocumented Matlab which allowed me to complete the function and get it posted on Matlab Central.

Advertising with Greener Corners
Greener Corners recycling bins are placed in high-traffic locations such as downtown street corners, high usage parks, and commuter hubs. By advertising on these distinctive recycling bins, your business is able to promote your brand and reap the benefits of helping your community meet its recycling goals.
Public space advertising is one of the most effective and low-cost ways to get your message in front of your target audience. Consumers are becoming more and more mobile – whether walking, running, driving or biking – and outdoor signage provides a smart and easy way to connect with them.
These bins grab the attention of passers-by, being seen by thousands of people every day.
Recent research shows that consumers have a favorable view of recycling and companies that make an effort to be good environmental stewards. According to a study conducted in January 2009,73% of consumers surveyed consider it important that companies have a good environmental track record.* Another recent survey suggests that more than 50% of consumers consider a retailer's green posture when deciding where to shop. These consumers are also more likely to recommend the company or its products to others.**

So, I have been seeing this guy casually for about four months. We have only seen each other five times though, as he works as a paramedic, and we live over an hour away from each other.
We got set up by a mutual friend and I know for a fact when we first started talking he was smitten! He would text everyday and he seemed like such a nice guy. Then one night he turned up at my door to surprise me and we had the sweetest evening. I was living with my parents at the time, so he met them, which was a bit nerve-racking, but he handled it really well because he's chatty and funny.
We didn't sleep together and he didn't stay over – he didn't even try it. We just kissed a lot. Then he goes all distant for a while, which he said was because he was settling into a new job but he was so hot and cold, and we didn't end up seeing each other for nearly two months! And we had gone from texting everyday to barely once a week (he doesn't have Facebook). Then I went to Amsterdam on a mini-trip with a friend and I rang him when I got back and he seemed pleased to hear from me. He then offered to come see me that weekend (the last weekend gone). And, he did, and we had fun. We slept with each other and we talked a lot. He texted me when he got home the next day saying he hoped I had a good day at work and that he was going for a nap.
Then I hear nothing from him for two days. Then it was his birthday, so I text him happy birthday and didn't get a text back till late that night just saying 'Thanx babe xx.' And, that was the last time I heard from him, which was now 5 days ago! And I have texted him since. Again, no reply. I rang him today, and nothing. I texted him asking if we are still on for this weekend, and I got nothing!
Does it seem like he was just after one thing and now he has run a mile? I really like this guy and I opened up to him about something I have never told anyone so I am worried I scared him off! Help! I just want to know if I should just end it. I can't keep making all the effort! – Want To Be With Him
Dear Ms. Want To Be With Him,
You know, there are some women who I just want to slap upside the head and knock some sense into them, and then there are others like you who I just let wander in the abyss of doom and dumbness because no matter what I say or do you will not get it!
Girl, the man is not interested in you! HELLO!!!!
