My 10-year-old niece, Elizabeth, tossed the pebble into the pond, and the ripples it made were impressive.
In fact, as Elizabeth — who always seems to have a book in hand or a drawing she's working on — remarked that the ripples were larger than you might expect from such a tiny object.
I had left town on the Fourth of July for a four-day family vacation. We stayed in cabins at a remote site in Eastern Oregon, where looming pines are plentiful, the lakes look like glass and dusty towns such as Granite and Ukiah serve as very modest reminders of civilization.
I had no access to the 24-7 media machine. No river of information to sift. I could hear myself think. And, as we stood on the banks of that pond, what Elizabeth said got me thinking a lot about our actions, their consequences and our responsibilities through all of the ripples we make.
Questions ensued: To what extent does the closeness, or lack thereof, of our relationships with people, businesses, governments and the planet influence how we act?
Have the systems we use to do everything from our banking and shopping to communicating and traveling become too big, too impersonal? Have those big systems made it easier for us to avoid considering the impacts of what we say and do?
Of course, people are capable of doing the right thing for its own sake. But we're living in the age of "too big to fail" or, as George Osborne, chancellor of the Exchequer — the British equivalent of the U.S. secretary of the treasury — recently put it, "the age of irresponsibility."
Wall Street certainly didn't consider how its treatment of the American economy as a casino would affect the lives of others. When you're "too big to fail" — and left unaccountable — you're also too big to care.
And do you know who really owns your mortgage? Would you be able to call or visit someone about it? These are nightmare questions for many homeowners who've had to go down the rabbit hole of mortgage-backed securities and missing legal paperwork.
I'm reminded of what John Nofsinger, a Washington State University finance professor, said at an event at WSU Vancouver in 2011: "We expect our financial institutions to be heartless."
There are some, however, who think the days of big systems and heartlessness are numbered. Bill McKibben, an environmentalist, is one of them.
"In fact, quite sober economists have begun to insist that, even in our seemingly globalized world, our economies are actually far more local than we realize," he writes in his latest book, "Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet."
McKibben will participate in an onscreen panel discussion of the movement to strengthen local economies after a one-time screening of the documentary "Fixing the Future" at Liberty Theatre in Camas. It's at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. Admission is $5.
The film will highlight parts of the nation that are moving toward local business alliances, community banks, sustainable agriculture practices and local energy-efficiency projects.
All of this isn't to say that all big systems are inherently bad or that they haven't achieved profound successes. But it seems to me that there's plenty to be gained from going small. It requires building relationships on a local level, rolling up your sleeves and working together, big bureaucracies — both public and private — be damned.
Ultimately, it sees the value in creating large, lasting ripples from many small acts.

Missile, Air-to-Air, Gorgon II-A, CTV-6
This is the Gorgon II-A, one of the U.S.'s first liquid-fuel rocket-powered guided missiles. It was developed as an air-to-air weapon by the Navy's Bureau of Aeronautics (BuAer) during late World War II, but did not become operational. With a range of 18 miles, the Gorgon II-A utilized a television guidance system to locate a target and was controlled by radio signals. 21 Gorgon II-A's were built and flight tested during 1945 and 1946. This is one of the few surviving examples.
The Gorgon was one of the first U.S. attempts to use television in guided missiles for target tracking and perhaps the first in a rocket-propelled vehicle. The Gorgon II-A motor produced 350 pounds of thrust for 130 seconds. The Gorgon II-A program was cancelled in 1946. This specimen contains original electronics, except for the TV transmitter.
The U.S. Navy, Bureau of Aeronautics transferred this Gorgon to the Museum in 1965.

It's very common and nothing to worry about. Newer research shows that overweight women should not gain more than 15 lbs during their pregnancy and if you are obese, gaining no weight is fine. I gained no weight during my first pregnancy and 10 lbs with my 2nd and 4th. All of my kids have been born at normal healthy weights (except my daughter, who was a preemie and I had gained 40 lbs w/ her pregnancy). I think if you're taking healthy steps toward taking care of yourself and baby, then gaining slowly or even losing a little is fine. I know I increased my veggies and eliminated a lot of sugar b/c I didn't want to have gestational diabetes. If your doctor isn't concerned and you aren't actively "dieting" then keep up the good work. Also, many women don't gain much until the end of pregnancy. You will somtimes not feel movement until closer to 24 or 26 weeks if you're overweight or it's your first pregnancy. So no worries. Congrats on your baby to be!posted 07/04/2010 by trae01
thankyou ladies for youe comments you have put my mind at rest ,my eating habbits have changed for the better and i have stopped drinking so i can see why my wieght would be dropping .this site is fab and i thankyou all again ..posted 07/07/2010 by fluffyboo2
it isn't uncommon for women to lose weight, with my second pregnancy I lost about 30 lbs, and my son came out to be a beautiful healthy 7lbs 1oz. as long as the baby is gaining weight and you are getting the right nutrition everything should be fine.posted 07/04/2010 by lullibyemommy
What does your doctor say about your weight loss? Generally, women who are overweight don't need to gain the 25 pounds recommended for women of normal weight. If your eating habits stayed exactly the same as before you were pregnant and you didn't eat any extra calories, your body would naturally lose a couple pounds because the development of the baby uses approximately 300 calories a day. You are probably just fine, but if you are concerned, be sure to ask your physician. About the fetal movement, most women feel their baby move by the 20th week. But very thin women tend to feel it much sooner, overweight women tend to feel it later. In short, it doesn't sound like there is anything out of the ordinary.posted 07/04/2010 by lsboese

Will Carmody ever take Northwestern to the Dance?
Today's point/counterpoint is more like point/point. Sorry, Northwestern fans.
Today's point/counterpoint is more like point/point. Sorry, Northwestern fans.
Early season tournaments tantalize with their meaningful matchups (played in front of a lot of empty seats), and they offer a glimpse into what we should expect over the year. A thirty-point beatdown over Texas Pan Am doesn't tell you as much about a team as a loss to Villanova. But still, we should take these with a grain of salt. As I've mentioned elsewhere, some teams that really struggle with challenging early season games end up making lots of deep runs in March.
After a week of games, primarily of the cupcake blowout variety, the Big Ten is a cumulative 23-5. Can we learn anything from what we've seen so far? Here's a few thoughts heading into the weekend.
On today's point/counterpoint, we debate whether Purdue's defensive branding is deserved, or just the result of having a very talented defensive player for four seasons.
Next up in our point/counterpoint series is Ohio State, which comes off a Final Four appearance and has been atop the Big Ten standings for the past three seasons. Today we consider whether the Buckeyes have enough bodies to keep that up this season.
In today's Point/Counterpoint, we tackle a question that has already gotten some play in basketball circles across the nation – has Indiana really gone from an 11-7 Big Ten team to the best squad in the nation?
It's already been proclaimed that the preseason expectations for Michigan is this year's Rorschach test. You can find out where we stand by reading our Big Ten chapter in this year's College Basketball Prospectus. You can also read about things like "beware negative covariance come March" and about the Six Degrees of Big 12 Coaches. For now, a referendum on John Beilein in today's Point/Counterpoint.
For today's point/counterpoint, we're debating how Wisconsin can move on without Jordan Taylor.
Our point/counterpoint series takes on a special significance today, as we take on the question that Americans are debating over—whether Iowa will make the jump to the NCAA Tournament this season.
We're going to try something new this year. Instead of just previewing every team like we usually do, we'll give the people what they really want—ammunition to win arguments. So for every team, we'll have both sides of the debate covered. Today, we'll look at what we can expect from Michigan State after it loses its leader, Draymond Green.
We're going to try something new this year. Instead just previewing every team like we usually do, we'll give the people what they really want—ammunition to win arguments. So for every team, we'll have both sides of the debate covered. First up, Minnesota.
Ohio State's season came to an end in the national semifinal in a close loss to Kansas. The Buckeyes led for the vast majority of this game, and most will probably remember the game as a great comeback by Kansas, but the truth is that Kansas played a much better game than Ohio State. Consider that the Buckeyes were held to 32 percent shooting on two-pointers for the game. Further, OSU was held to rebounding just a quarter of the available offensive rebounds.
Ohio State was our preseason pick for the cream of the conference, and, despite a bumpy Big Ten slate that left them sharing the title, the Buckeyes are now the last B1G standing. The Sweet Sixteen was rather cruel to Big Ten teams not from Columbus; let's start with the happy news and work our way through the rest.
While Thursday is the potentially big night for the Big Ten, with three schools looking to reach the Elite Eight, Friday night brings the enticing rematch of Indiana and Kentucky. The Hoosiers have surpassed all expectations by reaching the Sweet Sixteen for just the second time in 18 years, and they now have a golden opportunity to knock off most people's national title pick. Let's look at the match-up.
After a wild opening weekend, the Big Ten emerged with four teams among the remaining Sweet Sixteen. Today, we'll preview the Thursday games, two of which are conveniently in the same regional. In Boston, it's a four-team tournament with a Final Four spot on the line, and Big Ten teams are on both sides of the bracket. The other B1G Thursday participant will be Michigan State. We'll delve into the Boston regional before previewing the Spartans' path.
Greg Bartram-US PRESSWIRE
As of this writing, there is a 45.9 percent chance your NCAA Champion will be from the Big Ten. It was a good weekend for the conference, as four teams advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. But before we get to that good stuff, let's deal with the unpleasantness.
Yesterday, we previewed the paths for Wisconsin, Indiana, and Ohio State, who start tournament play today. Now, we'll take a look at the paths for the Big Ten teams that get going on Friday night – Michigan, Purdue, and Michigan State.
With the "second round" of the NCAA tournament about to begin, let's take a look at the matchups and potential matchups for Big Ten teams. First, we'll look at the Thursday/Saturday pods.
Josh: It's time to reflect on another season of Big Ten hoops. I think the rest of college basketball has finally taken notice of something that's been true for the past 18 months or so–the Big Ten is the best conference in college basketball. Still, you look at the conference today, you see two great teams, 3 pretty darn good teams, a team good enough to make the Dance, and then mediocrity. Heck, even a couple of pretty bad teams. I mean, it's hard to say the conference underachieved, but here goes–the conference underachieved. Sure, this is still the best action you'll find, and it's not close, but we're still talking about a league that's probably going to get 6 bids, with only a couple of standout teams. Does that sound much different than the past decade, when the Big Ten wasn't measuring up to the likes of the ACC and the Big East?
Aaron Craft is a very good defensive player. Let's get that out of the way. Whatever you think of the next few paragraphs, remember that we all agree that Craft's defense would improve just about any collegiate basketball team.
With Keith Appling draped all over him, William Buford hit an absolute dagger of a shot to help Ohio State down Michigan State and ensure a three-way tie atop the Big Ten conference for the season. While that makes banner manufacturers very happy, it was not the result the Spartans were expecting after they found themselves up by 9 after the first half. Ohio State won this game by keeping MSU off the glass, getting to the free throw line, and by the excellent work by whoever had the job of talking Buford into coming back to school every May. With Jared Sullinger largely ineffective, Buford put the Buckeyes on his back, carrying them with 25 points on 14 shots.
Draymond Green showed just how good he is in a loss to the Hoosiers, but he also proved that no one is good enough to beat Indiana at home by himself. Green racked up 29 points on 17 shots while his Michigan State teammates poured in 26 points on 34 shots. Against IU at Assembly Hall, that's tough to overcome. The home/road splits for this team in conference play are stunning:
With Saturday's win over Michigan, Purdue has seemingly punched its ticket to the Dance. At 9-7 in conference play, the Boilermakers are probably right where most expected them to finish this season–still solidly in the field of 68, but not a serious contender for the conference championship. But how they got to this point is very unexpected. Ever since the Baby Boilers arrived at West Lafayette, defense has been the calling card of this team:
Another night, another set of at-large hopes dashed. On Wednesday evening, Minnesota hoped to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, at least for another few days, with a crucial home matchup against Michigan State. Things were looking up when the Gophers took a nine-point lead with just over 10 minutes remaining. Maybe Minnesota really would pull this off and get back onto the bubble.
It was looking like it would be an historic night in Evanston. In front of a sold-out Welsh-Ryan Arena, the Northwestern Wildcats were locked in a tight battle with the visiting Michigan Wolverines. With a win, Northwestern would move one step closer to the 9-9 conference record that would almost certainly earn the program its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. As a cherry on top, the Wildcats' signature nonconference win was looking even better as Seton Hall had just finished off an impressive win over Georgetown. If Bill Carmody's team could just pull out this victory, it could be argued that it would be the most important night in Northwestern basketball history.

Tshiluba is a member of the Bantu language family spoken by about six million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where it is one of the national languages along with Lingála, Kiswahili and Kikongo. It is spoken mainly in Western and Eastern Kasai. Other names for the language include Cilubà, Luba, Luba-Kasai and Luba-Lulua.
The Tshiluba word, Ilunga, is apparently the world's most difficult word to translate, according to this article. It means "a person who is ready to forgive any abuse for the first time, to tolerate it a second time, but never a third time".
Bantu bonsu badi baledibwa badikadile ne badi ne makokeshi amwe. Badi ne lungenyi lwa bumuntu ne kondo ka moyo, badi ne bwa kwenzelangana malu mu buwetu.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They
are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another
in a spirit of brotherhood.

E3 2013: EA and Popcap reveals PvZ: Garden Warfare for Xbox One and 360
posted: 6/10/2013 3:11:00 PM
Popcap has more than just PvZ2 in the world for the undead gardening world, but also a third-person action game set in the world called
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
. The game is modeled heavily on the Modern Warfare series,with level intros and design. Player select one of the many, lovable plants from the series and control them directly on the battlefield. The different plant types operate as different character classes, with cactus plants being snipers and sunflowers acting as healers, among others. While they are engaging enemies directly, they can also plant a variety of plants around the battlefield in order to assist them.
The game reminds me a bit of Sanctum in terms of blending the FPs and tower defense genres, only this time with the unmatched charm of the PvZ universe. The game will launch first on the Xbox One and later on the 360. It looks incredibly fresh and fun.

The early part of March (and sometimes the entire month) can often be chilly (or very cold). But there's nothing better to shake off the "brrs" than a hot bowl of delicious soup or chili.
And the cool thing about the following recipe is that it's quick and easy, there's only a few ingredients and it can be used as a main meal or a simple supper.
Italian-Style Greens and Beans Soup
½ cup of chopped onion
½ cup of crumbled Italian sausage
1 tsp of minced garlic
¾ tsp of Italian seasoning blend
1 can (14.5 oz.) of reduced-sodium, fat-free chicken broth
1 can (15 oz.) of Read Greens & Beans with Sausage (a seasoned combination of white kidney beans, collard greens, tomatoes and sausage)
¼ cup of finely chopped red bell pepper
½ cup of thinly sliced kale or spinach (packed)
Optional: Shredded Parmesan cheese
Makes 3 to 4 servings (Please Note: This recipe can be easily be doubled if you're feeding a crowd.)
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
1. Cook the onion, sausage, garlic and Italian seasoning in a large nonstick saucepan over medium heat until the sausage is completely cooked, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Add the broth, Greens & Beans and red pepper; simmer for 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the kale.
4. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired.
Here's a recipe for vegetarian chili from newspaper columnist (and expert cook) Connie Schultz:
Housewarming Vegetarian Chili

¾ cup bulgur wheat
1 Tbsp olive oil
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups chopped onion

¼ cup chili powder, or to taste (not chile powder)
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp ground cumin
+ Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 (15 oz.) cannellini beans, drained
1 (15 oz.) can chickpeas, drained
Optional: Corn bread, grated cheddar, diced onion, cilantro and sour cream, for serving
1. Bring 1 cup tomato juice to a boil in a pan.
2. Add bulgur, stir and remove from heat.
3. Let stand.
4. Meanwhile, warm oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
5. Add garlic, onion, bell pepper, celery and carrot.
6. Saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
7. Stir in diced tomatoes, chili powder, lemon juice, basil, oregano and cumin.
8. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Bring to a simmer; cook 2 minutes.
10. Add beans, remaining tomato juice and bulgur mixture.

Okay, so some practical, some life altering and some downright obvious ideas have been mentioned in the previous two parts of this series. This last installment is reserved for the weird ideas that work but are much less mainstream. Use these ideas cautiously, they may not be for everyone.
Replacing an aged toilet with a new low-flow model can be pricy. Sure, it will pay for itself in the long run but after how long? Why not start saving for it ahead of time, little by little. You can take a 500 mL bottle but a few small rocks in it (for weight) then fill it with water and drop it into your toilet tank reservoir. The water level will be displaced and use 500 mL less water with every flush.
Low flow is good, no flow is even better. Composting toilets don't take water at all. This is an interesting idea which our society has gone away from since the advent of public water systems. Societies have survived and thrived for eons without flushable toilets. These toilets not only don't use water but the by-product can be used to help any organic projects you may have. Even better, you could even find a farm, greenhouse and/or nursery to sell the resulting compost to. You could save money and possibly even make some back!
Water is wasted many ways every day. Especially while we wait for sink water to warm up so we can use hot water to wash dishes or allowing the water for a bath warm up prior to plugging the tub. That is a waste of several gallons of water almost every day of not every day. Jerry Peek's website suggests that water can be saved and utilized for many different things. Some of them include watering plants, soaking dishes for the next time you need to wash them, filling a pot to boil a meal or making coffee.
When done with meals, many members of the family have to get the additional food off the plates prior to washing them. The waste of food notwithstanding, rinsing plates is a big waste of water that simply goes down the drain. There are many ways to save that water or not use it at all. You can scrape the plates directly into the garbage using a plastic or rubber spatula or just put them directly into the dishwasher. Most newer model dishwashers are efficient and powerful so you don't need to pre-rinse your dishes. Water Use It Wisely has several more tips that you may wish to review.
If you have any tips that might help others feel free to comment. No idea is too strange, and everyone can help each other

You gotta believe it. Especially when it was caught on film. First, check out the video provided by the Warner Brothers promotion department.
After watching that video and reading some of the early buzz from Facebook, Twitter and You Tube you got to figure this movie is going to be a major blockbuster:
Arthur Ramos Schaefer: "I need to watch this movie! AHAHHAHA Stallone gained a few more points with me!"
GTA & Battlefield piloting & trolling by oAngrybird: "See, see, see, MMA fighters can't fight."
Ivan Albuquerque Ferro: "Seeing Sonnen get knocked out is priceless!"
MrFamous1991: "I used to like Chael Sonnen, but he really is a gutless coward who would do anything for a wad of cash. Even if its just a movie, its completely pathetic that he would insult MMA like this. I wouldn't be surprised if he buddies up with Wandy on the Ultimate Fighter because he doesn't have the balls to talk (stuff) face to face."
Brad Shargani: "You think a man who steps into a cage with the intent to fight another man in a simulated death match with barely any rules, and whose last four fights were with former or current world champions, (two of whom are considered by many to be the greatest of all time) is a coward? I guarantee you that you would not call him a coward to his face. So, who's the real coward? That's what cowards like you do. You project your insecurities on other people. You have to tear somebody else down to make yourself feel better. Maybe if you spent more time doing something positive with your own life, as opposed to putting out all of this negative energy, you'd be successful and confident enough in your own life to not have to insult people who are actually successful, and doing what you only wish you could do."
Giuseppe Urso: "Now I have to watch this (stupid) movie... Damn!"
Once again, the creative people of Hollywood came through with another endearing movie that will have movie goers talking, laughing and for the less knowledgeable sports fan - even debating. It's likely this one screenwriter or maybe two screenwriters were out partying somewhere in Beverly Hills, high as a kite on something, and suddenly started laughing out loud about this "what if" scenario which they eventually sold to some producer who said, "Hilarious, let's do it! We'll have the 70 year-old "Raging Bull" pick a fight with the 67 year-old Rocky Balboa to decide which of them is the strongest boxer of the big screen."
Can you see the headlines? "Stallone climbs back into the ring yet again! Rocky Balboa to fight Jake La Motta" "Stallone to face De Niro" "Rivals come out of retirement to go toe-to-toe".
When approached they're saying the veteran actor Robert De Niro relished the chance to play a boxer again following his Oscar-winning turn as Jake La Motta in 1980's Raging Bull. But Mr. Stallone was more reluctant to join him as he suspected the movie would spoof his breakthrough film, Rocky.
Stallone: "I was worried because it might have come out as unintentional comedy but the way they worked it and with the other cast it started to get good so I stopped being foolish and protective of Rocky and let it go."
De Niro: "When I heard about it, I always knew it had to be Sylvester to do it. I had to talk him into it - he had reservations, he was worried about it being a comedy but I said, 'Don't worry, we'll do it together and it will be okay.'"
Back in December, Shaina Moskowitz, the Manhattan Events Examiner, had an opportunity to interview the two, Hollywood icons. I highly recommend you check out her article submitted on December 29, 2013.

The Los Angeles Lakers will be without four-time All-Star Pau Gasol for a little longer than expected. Gasol was expected to miss the team's current three-game road trip and now will miss at least six games according to Mark Medina of the L.A. Daily News on Feb. 4:
Lakers haven't set date when they'll reevaluate Gasol, but he's missing at least next 6 games.
The timing for Gasol's injury couldn't have come at a worse time for the Lakers. The Lakers are currently trying to trade the two-time NBA champion to the Phoenix Suns in exchange for the expiring contract of Emeka Okafor and potentially a high draft pick.
With Gasol set to miss another six games and the NBA trade deadline on Feb. 20, Gasol might only play one more game in a Lakers uniform before being shipped out. The Suns aren't willing to pull the trigger on a deal to acquire Gasol until they see how he bounces back from the groin injury and may only have a short window to do so.
Despite Gasol missing the next two weeks with the groin injury, the Lakers will continue to gauge trade interest around the league for the veteran center with the Suns possibly being their best suitor for a deal before the deadline.
In the meantime, the Lakers will have Jordan Hill, Robert Sacre and Chris Kaman shoulder the load in the frontcourt.

Calendar of Events:
2010 Past Event: Exhibit: Ed Fella "I'm History"
- Date & Time:
- Friday, October 8 to Saturday, November 20, 6:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
- Location:
- Art Gallery (PCC Campus maps and directions)
- Open To:
- Public
- Description:
Ed Fella is an internationally acclaimed graphic designer and typographer – a recipient of the AIGA medal and the Chrysler Design Award -- whose insistently personal art practice has influenced generations of designers. "I'm History," at the Pasadena City College Art Gallery, will feature original drawings, photos, sketchbooks and printed posters by Fella. In addition to works that have cemented his reputation as an iconoclastic pioneer of postmodern design, the exhibition will also include a substantial body of recent work—from Fella's "Counterfactual History" project—that has never before been published or exhibited.
Fella, born in 1938, practiced as a commercial artist in Detroit, Michigan, for three decades before enrolling at the Cranbrook Academy of Art, where he received an MFA in design in 1987. That year, he joined the faculty at California Institute of the Arts and has continued his career as a self-described "exit level designer," undertaking a wide-ranging series of idiosyncratic projects that stubbornly resist categorization, though they freely partake of the conventions of graphic design, typography, photography, illustration and fine art.
The Pasadena exhibition focuses on Fella's multi-faceted relationship to history; the title "I'm History" suggests Fella's dual status as an established figure in the history of design and as a senior practitioner who is now making way for subsequent generations. It also refers to the ways that artistic sensibilities are shaped by the contingencies of time and place in which each of us finds ourselves. This extends to Fella's exploration of an alternative version of his own history, his "Counterfactual History" project, in which Fella imagines the abstract paintings he might have created had he enrolled in art school in 1957, instead of finding employment in the advertising business.
Describing Fella as "vanguard master to a new generation of graphic designers," critic Vince Carducci wrote in 2007 that, "Fella has created a body of work that's as compelling as it is unique. Prodigiously mashing up low-culture sources with high-culture erudition, Fella's work—perhaps more than that of any other contemporary designer—makes visible the postmodern concept of deconstruction, which recognizes that behind every articulated meaning is a host of other, usually repressed meanings, some antithetical. By battering and mixing fonts, engaging in visual puns and generally violating the tenets of 'good design,' Fella lets a thousand flowers bloom. His designs don't cut through the clutter—they revel in it."
Fella's influence on contemporary design has been widely acknowledged: he is a recipient of the Chrysler Design Award (1997) and the AIGA medal (2007, "Recognized as an artist, educator and iconoclastic designer daring to reshape contemporary typography and graphic design"). His work has been the focus of issues of Emigre magazine (1991) and Idea magazine (Japan, 2006). Letters on America, a book of his photographs of vernacular lettering, was published by Princeton Architectural Press in 2000. His work is in the collections of the National Design Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
The exhibition poster for "I'm History" is designed by Gail Swanlund, featuring "Ed Fella" set in a typeface designed by Sibylle Hagmann. Swanlund, like Fella, is a graphic designer whose work blurs distinctions between the categories of designer and fine artist. A former student of Ed Fella's, Swanlund is now a member of the Graphic Design faculty at CalArts. She was invited to create a poster that was entirely of her invention; this is a nod toward an aspect of Fella's history as a designer, the posters he produced for the Detroit Focus Gallery in the 1980s. Now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, the Focus Gallery posters are notable in part for being entirely authored by Fella, typically including no images of work by the gallery's exhibiting artists.
This exhibition is curated by Brian Tucker, director of the Pasadena City College Art Gallery. Tucker's previous curatorial efforts at the gallery include "Mantong and Protong: Richard Sharpe Shaver and Stanislav Szukalski," 2009, and "Love and Rockets: The Comic Art of Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez," 2005.
