ASIFA Digitizes “Famous Artist Courses”
Some of us recall the ads in our childhood showing a cartoon pirate or skunk then asking, if you are interested in pursuing a career in art, to draw that same character and mail it in. I have to admit that I completed those drawings many, many times but, alas, never mailed it in.
Well, it turns out that this series of mail-order art courses was established by none other than Norman Rockwell. He hired some of the best artists of the time to create a series of courses which were mailed to the student in a set of three binders. Artists like Rube Goldberg & Milton Caniff were among the instructors.
ASIFA has begun digitizing all 24 lessons for inclusion into their archives.

Let us not forget that Reagan’s future vp (Bush) and cia chief (Casey) met with the Ayatolla Khomeini behind the back of the then-current Carter administration (treason) and arranged for Iran to keep the American hostages until after the election. In return Iran got, at the very least, a conduit thru which to illegally receive missiles and other armaments–which came to light when traitor Ollie North got busted taking the missile $$$ and giving it to friends in Central America who turned out, naturally enough, to be drug smugglers USA-bound. Ah, the good old days…

Zune and iPod: Most men and women compare the Zune to the Touch, but soon after seeing how slim and astonishingly small and mild it is, I contemplate it to be a quite distinctive hybrid that combines attributes of the two the Contact and the Nano. It is really colorful and pretty OLED display screen is a bit scaled-down than the touch display, but the player itself feels fairly a little bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/three as significantly, and is noticeably smaller sized in width and top, while becoming just a hair thicker.
