Win Mortimer
1919 – 1998
James Winslow Mortimer, or simply Win Mortimer, was born in Hamilton in Canada. He got his early graphics training from his father, who worked at the poster department of a lithography firm. After high school, Mortimer studied at the Art Students League of New York, where he took courses in anatomy. He joined the Canadian Army when World War II broke out, but returned to civil life in 1943. He started designing posters, until he got a job at DC Comics in 1945. There, he started out doing some 'Batman' and 'Superman' comics.
At the same time, he became one of DC's most prolific cover artists. In the early 1950s he was National Comics's main artist of 'Superman' and 'Batman' covers. At the same time, he took over the 'Superman' daily series from Wayne Boring. Mortimer left DC in 1956, taking on a job to draw the daily Christian message strip 'David Crane' for Prentice-Hall Syndicate. He worked on this strip until 1960, when he took on the 'Larry Bannon' strip for Toronto Star Syndicate.
While also doing work outside the comics field, Mortimer returned to DC in the late 1960s, as well as doing work for Marvel and Gold Key. Until the early 1980s, he was a versatile artist in many genres: from funny strips ('Scooter', 'Binky', 'Fat Albert'), to superhero comics ('Supergirl', 'Lois Lane', 'Spider-Man') and horror ('Tales of Mystery', 'The Twilight Zone', 'Frankenstein', 'Ripley's Believe it or Not'). In 1983, Win Mortimer started doing advertising and commercial art and artwork for Neal Adams's Continuity Associates.
James Winslow "Win" Mortimer (May 1, 1919 – January 11, 1998) was a comic book and comic strip artist best known as one of the major illustrators of the DC Comics superhero Superman. He additionally drew for Marvel Comics, Gold Key, and other publishers.

During the same period, Mortimer returned to DC and worked on a large variety of comics, ranging from humor (Stanley and His Monster, Scooter, Fat Albert) to superhero (features starring The Legion of Super-Heroes and Supergirl).
Later life and career
By the early 1970s, Mortimer was also freelancing for other publishers, including Marvel, for which he drew virtually every story in the TV tie-in children's comic Spidey Super Stories, starring Spider-Man, for its entire, 57-issue run (Oct. 1974 - March 1982); and Gold Key (Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery, The Twilight Zone). He left comics in 1983 to do advertising and commercial art for Neal Adams' studio, Continuity Associates.
Mortimer's last superhero art was the four-issue DC miniseries World of Metropolis (Aug.-Nov. 1988), plus some character drawings for the reference Who's Who in the Legion of Super-Heroes #7 (Nov. 1988). His final comics work was pencil layout for Triad Comics' The Honeymooners #11 (June 1989). He had previously drawn issues #3-9 (late-1987 to July 1988) of that series based on the 1950s TV comedy.

Last night while the Blackhawks were fighting to win the Stanley Cup, I ventured down to see the John Hancock building. It is a 100 floor building overlooking downtown Chicago. When I got there, I was told I could not use my tripod, so I put my camera on top of my camera bag and anchored it with the stretchy cords on my bag.
John Hancock Center at 875 North Michigan Avenue in the Streeterville area of Chicago, Illinois, is a 100-story, 1,127-foot[3] (344 m) tall skyscraper, constructed under the supervision of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, with chief designer Bruce Graham and structural engineer Fazlur Khan.[4] When the building topped out on May 6, 1968, it was the tallest building in the world outside New York City. It is currently the fourth-tallest building in Chicago and the sixth-tallest in the United States, after the Willis Tower, the Empire State Building, the Bank of America Tower, the Trump Tower Chicago, and the Aon Center. When measured to the top of its antenna masts, it stands at 1,506 feet (459 m).[5] The building is home to offices and restaurants, as well as about 700 condominiums and contains the third highest residence in the world, after the Trump Tower also in Chicago and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. [6] This skyscraper was named for John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company, a developer and original tenant of the building.
The 95th floor has long been home to a restaurant, the latest tenant being "The Signature Room on the 95th Floor." While patrons dine, they can look out at Chicago and Lake Michigan. The Hancock Center's observation deck facilities (called the Hancock Observatory) compete with the Willis Tower's Skydeck across town. The Hancock Center is in a commercial district, while the Willis Tower is in the financial district. The Hancock Center 94th floor observation deck displays exhibits about the city of Chicago. Maps explain the view in each direction and a special meshed-in area allows the visitors to feel the winds 1,030 feet (314 m) above ground level. The observation deck also features an audio guide narrated by actor David Schwimmer. The 44th-floor sky lobby features America's highest indoor swimming pool.

Crusaders fall to St. Joe's in heartbreaker.D3 BOYS' BASKETBALL STATE SEMIFINAL: ST. JOSEPH'S 61, WHITINSVILLE CHRISTIAN 59.By Bill Doyle TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF..SPRINGFIELD— Grant Brown lofted an off-balance 3-pointer in the final second. If the shot was good, Whitinsville Christian would win and defend its Division 3 state championship on Saturday. If it was off the mark, the Crusaders’ season would end. .With Lavante Wiggins of St. Joseph’s close by, Brown didn’t have time to set himself, but his shot was on line nevertheless. ..“To be honest, I thought I was going to get a foul called,” Brown said, “but I saw it, and I thought it was going in.” ..“I was thinking, ‘Man, that would be unbelievable if that thing went in,’ ” WC coach Jeff Bajema said, “and I thought it was.” ..“When he took it, I said, “God, it looks good,’” St. Joseph’s of Pittsfield coach Paul Brindle said. ..The shot hit the back of the rim, however, and bounced away, and St. Joseph’s held on for a 61-59 victory in a Division 3 state semifinal last night at the MassMutual Center. ..“The hoop angels just weren’t there today,” Bajema said. ..St. Joseph’s (20-5) will play Danvers at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the DCU Center for the state title. This will be the first state final for St. Joseph’s since it won it all in 2001. ..Whitinsville Christian, the defending Division 3 state champion, finished 17-6. ..Colin Richey led the Crusaders with 15 points, including eight in the fourth quarter. His drive put his team ahead, 59-54, with 3:13 left, but WC didn’t score again. ..“They were denying Colin the ball,” Bajema said, “and Colin is the guy who makes it happen for us. We ran some stuff for other guys, but their team quickness really affected us, especially down the stretch. We just couldn’t get into a set.” ..Bajema also thought Whitinsville missed center Jesse Dykstra, the team’s only starting senior, after he fouled out with 2:02 left and the score 59-54. ..St. Joseph’s scored the game’s final seven points at the foul line. Mike McMahon made four of the free throws, including a pair with 10.6 seconds left to give St. Joseph’s its first lead, 60-59, since late in the third quarter. ..With WC leading, 59-58, Tim Dufficy missed the front end of a one-and-one with 22.5 seconds left. After McMahon put St. Joseph’s ahead, Dufficy threw the ball away and Roberson was fouled with 6.8 seconds left. ..Dufficy was upset at himself after the game, but Richey came to his defense. ..“That’s not why we lost,” Richey said. “He shouldn’t feel like that’s a big reason. That’s not why we lost. We lost because we didn’t execute down the stretch, we didn’t make shots, and we didn’t rebound. They just outworked us down the stretch.” ..Roberson made one of two at the line to make it 61-59. After a timeout, WC got the ball to Brown, but his shot missed by inches. Bajema planned to call another timeout when his Crusaders got the ball in the frontcourt, but changed his mind. ..“I thought he had a step on the kid,” Bajema said. ..Brown finished with 12 points. Dufficy had 10. ..Joe Wiggins led St. Joseph’s with 17 points and 12 rebounds, including 13 points and 10 rebounds in the second half. McMahon scored 13 points. ..Whitinsville Christian led for most of the game and was up by nine, 36-27, when Brown scored on a put-back early in the third quarter. Tank Roberson scored seven of his 15 points during a 16-4 run that gave St. Joseph’s a 43-40 edge with 3:31 left in the third. Brown’s 3-pointer highlighted a 7-2 run that regained the lead for WC, 47-45, entering the fourth. ..With four starting juniors returning next year, the Crusaders should be strong again, but the loss will stick with them. ..“It’s definitely heartbreaking,” Richey said. “We put so much time into this over the summer, even since we were kids. So it was definitely tough. You’re going to remember this forever. You’re going to remember this more than if you won the game.”

Travis Toomey of the Saskatoon Blades Hockey Club heads to the bench about an hour before the game and assembles the warm up pucks to read the word WIN.
He's also the player that scoops all these pucks on to the ice when the team skates out for warm up.
I love tradition!!

North west of Bamford and sitting at the head of the Ladybower Reservoir Win Hill provides some of the best views in the Peak District.
The ascent from Hope, via Twitchill Farm, gives stunnig views across to Lose Hill and the Great Ridge
At 1,516 ft, it is almost surrounded by water. The River Derwent to the east, the River Noe to the south west and Ladybower Reservoir to the north. A ridge running north west links it to Kinder Scout and stops it from being an island.
On top of Win Hill lies Win Hill Pike, a small conical shaped crag that can be seen for miles around. Win Hill Pike has an Ordnance Survey triangulation point, or trig point on it's highest point.
With 472 ft of relative height, Win Hill is only 20 ft short of qualifying as a Marilyn. A Marilyn is a mountain or hill in the United Kingdom, Republic of Ireland or Isle of Man with a prominence of at least 150 metres (492 ft), regardless of absolute height or other merit. The name was coined as a punning contrast to the designation Munro, used of a Scottish mountain with a height of more than 3,000 feet (914.4 m), which is homophonous with (Marilyn) Monroe.

The Trig Point marking the summit of Win Hill Pike.
My picture shows the metal plate on the top of the trig point pillar. It was used as a mounting point for a theodolite.
t was necessary to ensure that the theodolite was in the exact correct position every time it was fitted to a trig point. The brass rails ensured the correct vertical and horizontal plane.
Brass was used for the rails as it resists corrosion better than other metals – especially important in view of the hostile location of some trig points.
