The human desire to animate drawings may stretch further back (much further back) than a couple hundred years. French filmmaker/researcher Marc Azéma has published new research suggesting that the Paleolithic artists who created drawings in the Lascaux caves of France were also attempting to animate their drawings. There's a subscription-only article about his theory on NewScientist.com. A shorter blog post and accompanying video below are available for viewing by all.

Modern Car-Toons: A Look At Autos In Mid-Century Animation
Animation can provide a fascinating window into the past. In the 1950s and 1960s, as cars became a fixture in contemporary life, animators made all kinds of films about automobile culture, exploring its history, its prevalence within society, its effect on human behavior, as well as its future possibilities and potential consequences. These films didn't merely feature cars as plot devices, but made a satirical commentary on the institutions of driving and vehicle ownership.
Cars were on the minds of everyone during the mid-century, and animated shorts about them were produced by both mainstream studios and independent animators, as well as both in the United States and Europe. Many of the shorts, like Motor Mania, Automania 2000, and Autókor, offered a bleak perspective on car culture, while other films were bought-and-paid-for by corporations who had an interest in promoting automobiles: the Portland Cement Association sponsored Disney's Magic Highway USA and Ford sponsored TVC London's The Ever-Changing Motor Car.
These films are, of course, mostly valuable as historical markers. Today, as our environmentally-conscious world shifts into a post-auto culture, we worry less and less about the anxieties of driving and car ownership. The contemporary animator views cars through a different prism, one that is most effectively reflected in Pixar's Cars. John Lasseter's film no longer questions or considers the idea of the car, but rather offers a wistful nostalgic ode to the golden age of the automobile, a bygone era that can only be glimpsed by looking into the rear-view mirror.

Gallery: The Amazing Character Designs of Ferdinand Horvath
Let us celebrate the final day of 2012 with inspiring visuals in the form of character designs and studies by animation legend Ferdinand Horvath (1891-1973). Horvath was a European émigré who moved to the United States in 1921 after spending much of World War I in Russian prison camps. He worked for six years at Paul Terry's Aesop's Fables studio before moving to Los Angeles. On the West Coast, Horvath worked at Disney where he contributed character designs, backgrounds, story ideas and gags to over sixty shorts including Father Noah's Ark, Mickey's Circus, The Band Concert, The Old Mill, Woodland Cafe, and The Cookie Carnival. He also made important contributions to the studio's first feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Later, Horvath worked at Columbia's Screen Gems studio and George Pal's Puppetoons studio.
Join the KKK (That's Krazy Kat Klub, You Racist!)
There's some ugly stuff that can occasionally be found in the dusty bins of animation history. The Vintage Cinema Ads Facebook page uncovered a wildy inappropriate ad promoting Krazy Kat theatrical animated shorts. The double-meaning of this ad would have been more evident at the time of its publication in 1925 when the Ku Klux Klan claimed millions of Americans as members and exerted significant influence over American culture. Also, whoever made the was likely unaware—and most likely didn't care—that Krazy Kat creator George Herriman was of mixed-race Creole lineage.

Steve Jobs Promotes "Toy Story"
Three months before Toy Story was released, Pixar owner Steve Jobs took to the stage at the SIGGRAPH conference and explained why the film represented a major leap in film technology. It's a rare bit of animation history that I was happy to discover on YouTube:

Keiji Nakazawa, Creator of "Barefoot Gen", RIP
Keiji Nakazawa, the creator of the manga series Barefoot Gen, passed away on December 19th from lung cancer. He was 73 years old. His comic, which was adapted into animated and live-action features as well as a dramatic TV series, was inspired by his own experiences as a survivor of the American bombing of Hiroshima that killed over 100,000 people including Nakazawa's father and siblings. For more details, Comic Book Resources offers a nice obituary about Nakazawa's life.
"Evoking Spirits" by Ori Toor
Tel Aviv-based Ori Toor takes Flash concepts like looping symbols that other artists use for economic ends and subverts them into original artistic statements. His sinous, psychedelic loops in the video for Kingdom Crumbs' single "Evoking Spirits" is quite unlike any other Flash animation I've ever seen.
"Alfred Skimmy Celebrates Christmas" by Peter Lowey
Melbourne-based Peter Lowey, who is no stranger to Cartoon Brew, is really on to something with his creation Alfred Skimmy. It's a well conceived mix of hilarity and discomfort packaged into one very odd-mannered individual.
"Ziggy's Gift" by Richard Williams
This is the eighth Christmas we've celebrated on Cartoon Brew, and in all that time, we've never posted the holiday special Ziggy's Gift. Today marks the end of your Ziggyless holidays. Ziggy's Gift is quite charming, and the production values are far better than they need to be—especially considering that it was produced in 1982 and it's…well…Ziggy. No surprise then that the director was Richard Williams and the animation supervisor was a 27-year-old Eric Goldberg.

The Best Animated Holiday Greeting of 2012
Ok, call off the search. I've found this year's best animated Christmas greeting, and it's by none other than Cyriak:
Andreas Deja Reveals "Mushka" Teaser Trailer
Andreas Deja is a modern-day animation legend. He worked for 30 years at Disney where he was responsible for classic characters such as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast, Jafar in Aladdin, Scar in The Lion King, and Lilo in Lilo and Stitch. He left the studio a couple years ago to focus on personal projects, including producing independent animated films. This morning, Andreas teased audiences with a preview from his short film Mushka, featuring a girl and tiger as the lead characters. The film, which will be animated in a colored pencil style, is "a story of love and sacrifice set in Russia."
On his blog, which also includes development sketches of the characters, Deja pointed out that he still has a long road ahead of him. He's been working on story and pre-production this year, and plans to animate the film in 2013.
"Rough and Laugh" by Tymote
Japanese design studio Tymote has finally answered the age-old question: What if Wassily Kandinsky used Cinema 4D? A remix of Clammbon's "Rough and Laugh" comprises the other half of the synaesthetic viewing experience.
"Social Satan" by Sculpture
Brace yourself for one of the most creative animation cycles you'll see this side of the Fleischer brothers. Social Satan was created by UK-based Sculpture, a collaboration between Reuben Sutherland (animation) and Dan Hayhurst (audio). We've featured their unique work in the past, which is printed onto picture-discs and then spun like a record at different RPMs.
(NSFW) Happy Holidays from Leah Shore!
Brooklyn-based filmmaker Leah Shore, whose most recent animated short Old Man has been attracting attention on the festival circuit, doesn't like the holidays. But she does like felt puppets.
Happy Holidays from Stan Lee!
A fun holiday greeting from comic legend Stan Lee and his new YouTube channel World of Heroes. Two of the artists involved with the piece—co-director David de Rooij and background artist Jelle Brunt—produced the Cartoon Brew Student Festival winner Slim Pickings Fat Chances.

Was "Rise of the Guardians" A Victim of the Bill Joyce Curse?
Let's make one thing clear upfront: this post is not intended to be an indictment of Bill Joyce's creative abilities. Bill is one helluva of a talent. His self-produced animated short, The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, won the Oscar earlier this year. He's a bestselling children's book illustrator and author. He co-created the successful preschool series Rolie Polie Olie that ran for six seasons. He has been instrumental in jumpstarting a burgeoning tech scene in Louisiana. You could comfortably call him a Southern born-and-bred Walt Disney, and not be accused of hyperbole.
The William Joyce brand has been uniformly successful across various media platforms—except for one arena: CG animated features. The irony is that no artist has had as much personal success in having his ideas transformed into computer animated films as Joyce. He has produced three big-budget animated films at three different studios—Blue Sky's Robots, Disney's Meet the Robinsons, and DreamWorks' The Rise of the Guardians. A fourth is on its way—Blue Sky's Epic.
Deadline reported earlier this week that DreamWorks may take a $45 million write-down due to the poor performance of Rise of the Guardians. The film has grossed a paltry $72.9 million dollars after 29 days at the U.S. box office, and likely won't break $100 million at the box office.
To put that into perspective, only two other DreamWorks CGI films have failed to reach the $100 mil domestic mark—the studio's first CG feature, Antz, which made $90.7 million in 1998, and Flushed Away which pulled in $64.7 million in 2006. (The latter film was conceived and largely produced at the UK's Aardman Animations.)
The performance of Rise of the Guardians falls in line with the tepid performances of Joyce's other films. The first animated feature that he produced (and production designed) was Blue Sky's Robots in 2005. That film grossed $128.2 domestically. It ranks as the lowest-grossing Blue Sky feature to date. (In the interest of full disclosure, I wrote the "art of" tie-in book for Robots.)
Joyce's next feature, Disney's 2007 effort Meet the Robinsons was based on the popular book A Day with Wilbur Robinson that he wrote and illustrated. That film grossed $97.8 million in the US, and is the lowest-grossing Disney feature in the John Lasseter-era of the studio. Neither Robots nor Meet the Robinsons performed well overseas either.
Joyce has maintained his reputation in feature film largely because the production process has been different on each film, as has his level of involvement. In the case of Robots, he didn't write the script; he production designed the film and was intimately involved from a visual storytelling standpoint. The other two films have been based on his story ideas, but he hasn't been involved as much visually as he was with Robots. The upcoming Blue Sky film Epic will be the first time that Joyce will both produce and production design a film that is based on one of his stories.
There's also a strong argument to be made that Joyce's involvement has nothing to do with the finished films. The films are only loosely based on his original ideas, and numerous other people mold the finished film besides Joyce.
For me, it begs the question: Why even use Joyce in the first place if studios deviate so wildly from his concepts. This was actually a lesson that Pixar learned the hard way. After Joyce had created concept art for Toy Story, Pixar invited him to direct an animated short at the studio. The experience didn't end well, and all mentions of the unproduced short have been scrubbed from the studio's official histories.
However, multiple people have told me that the experience with Joyce was instrumental in Pixar's decision to develop film ideas in-house instead of working with outsiders and relying on pre-existing books or media properties as source material. Pixar, it has to be stressed, is absolutely unique in this regard; all other major animation studios have used pre-existing stories for their films, including Disney, DreamWorks, Blue Sky, Sony and Illumination. Pixar's commitment to building ideas from scratch with artists who understand the medium best is among the reasons that the studio's films are widely respected from a creative standpoint.
If this were baseball, Rise of the Guardians would have been Bill Joyce's third strike in the world of big-budget CG-animated features. Thankfully, animation isn't baseball, and Joyce will receive a fourth chance at CG feature success next May. Fox and Blue Sky's Epic may prove once and for all whether there is such a thing as the "Bill Joyce curse."
Sundance 2013 Animation Short Selections
The Sundance Film Festival has announced their short film selections for the next edition of the festival, which will take place January 17-27 in Park City, Utah. The following ten films will compete in the animated shorts category:

Their documentary shorts category also features two shorts with animation:
30% (Women and Politics in Sierra Leone) / United Kingdom, Sierra Leone (Director: Anna Cady) — Oil-painted animation brings to life the stories of three powerful women in postconflict Sierra Leone, revealing the violence and corruption women face as they fight for fairer representation in the governance of their country.
Irish Folk Furniture / Ireland (Director: Tony Donoghue) — In Ireland, old hand-painted furniture is often associated with hard times, with poverty, and with a time many would rather forget. In this animated documentary, 16 pieces of traditional folk furniture are repaired and returned home.
How To Earn $70,000 From Looney Tunes Cartoons And Not Pay Warner Bros. A Cent [Updated]
Illustrator Rob Loukotka's ACME Corporation Kickstarter project is worth writing about for many reasons besides the fact that he's trying to raise money. Here's what it is: a poster of every Acme Co. item used by Wile E. Coyote in his futile pursuit of the Roadrunner. There are 126 items represented on the poster from the 43 Coyote and Roadrunner shorts that director Chuck Jones was personally involved with between 1949 and 1994.
The project wouldn't be as noteworthy if not for how successful it's been. Loukotka has currently sold over 2000 posters for nearly $70,000, and there are still five days left in the campaign. He is careful not to mention the Roadrunner, the Coyote, Warner Bros. or any of the cartoons in his poster. He also benefits from the fact that most of Acme products in the Chuck Jones cartoons are quite generic.
Nevertheless, Loukotka is walking a legal tightrope. He is mass producing merchandise based on a corporation's intellectual property. If this was just a collection of random items with the name Acme on them, no one would ever buy the poster. It's only because of the role these invented Acme items have played within a series of animated shorts that they are recognizable and of interest to the general public.
People also aren't buying the posters because Loukotka is a popular artist. Case in point: Loukotka's two previous campaigns on Kickstarter, which were prints based on original ideas, raised less than $5,000 each. His success with this campaign is almost entirely due to his unofficial partnership with Warner Bros.
Who knows what may happen. Corporations have been known to pursue copyright infringement cases even when characters aren't involved. For example, Lucasfilm filed a lawsuit against British entrepreneur Andrew Ainsworth, who was selling replicas of Star Wars helmets. The company won a $20 million summary judgment against Ainsworth in U.S. courts.
I'm not a lawyer and can't pretend to know all the legal arguments for and against such a poster. But I do find the project fascinating, especially the fact that it passed through Kickstarter's legal vetting process. It begs the question, What other types of unofficial cartoon-related projects can be done in this manner without running afoul of copyright laws?
[UPDATE]: Further research reveals that Warner Bros. does indeed hold a trademark on the name "Acme".
Illustrator Rob Loukotka has offered a response on Twitter saying that he believes the project is protected by fair use law:
"Una Furtiva Lagrima" by Carlo Vogele
Carlo Vogele has a knack for imbuing inanimate objects with personality. He's told stories with lighting fixtures, socks, and now (with an assist from Enrico Caruso), fish.
It's fitting that a meditation on the tragic destiny of fish would be illustrated using actual fish. Earlier this year, when Vogele posted the trailer for Una Furtiva Lagrima, we discovered that there are good reasons why animators don't typically use dead fish as models. Vogele's effort was well spent, though, resulting in a singular and strikingly original piece of animated fimmaking.
"The Life and Death of a Novelty Christmas Wreath" by Michael Ruocco
Michael Ruocco's The Life and Death of a Novelty Christmas Wreath is a welcome antidote to the forced cheeriness of most animated holiday films. Ruocco's decision to keep the wreath in a fixed center-screen position is an especially effective filmmaking choice that generates an unexpected amount of emotion and humor.
Alex Hirsch and Rebecca Sugar Appear On Forbes 30 Under 30 List
Forbes has published a list of 30 Under 30 in Hollywood. If you can get past the entertainment industry's insularity and nauseating nepotism—the children of Judd Apatow, John Landis, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Larry Ellison (two of them) are all apparently up-and-comers—you'll appreciate that two animators managed to sneak their way onto the list.
Alex Hirsch, 27, achieved the distinction for being the creator of the Disney TV series Gravity Falls, while Rebecca Sugar, 25, is hailed as the first solo female creator of a Cartoon Network TV series. Her show, Steven Universe, is currently in production and will debut next year. Congrats to both!
Cartoon Network Orders "Clarence"
Cartoon Network has greenlit Clarence, a new animated series by CalArts grad Skyler Page whose student films Crater Face and Girl Wallet have both been featured on Cartoon Brew, as have his costume-making skills.
CN has greenlit 12 fifteen-minute episodes, which according to Deadline, is about "an optimistic boy who wants to do everything because everything is amazing." Page, who has been a board artist on Adventure Time, is the fourth CalArts grad to get his own Cartoon Network show in the last few years, following Thurop Van Orman (The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack), Pen Ward (Adventure Time) and J. G. Quintel (The Regular Show).

First Artwork Released for Disney's Next Feature "Frozen"
Earlier this week, Disney released the first piece of concept art from their 2013 animated feature Frozen directed by Jennifer Lee and Chris Buck. The release of this image allows the animation community to begin one of its favorite traditions: judging an entire animated feature based on a single piece of still concept art. Let me start things off by saying that the artwork leaves me a little cold.

Colorado K-12 Election Roundup: Fiscal Restraint Beats Prop 103, Most Local Taxes; Reformers Win Key Races
Update, 11/2: One quick correction, as Englewood voters appear to have approved the construction bond / BEST grant, but turned down the mill levy override. Also, a great roundup of school board election results in El Paso County from the Gazette. From school board races to mill levy and bond measures, there are a number of issues pertaining to education in Colorado being decided this evening. Well known is the fate of the Proposition 103 "For the Children" tax hike -- which not only crashed and burned but also disintegrated in a ball of blue-hot flame (64% No vote at last count). Two out of three Denver Public Schools board seats went to the reform ticket, with a third between challenger Jennifer Draper-Carson and incumbent Arturo … [Read more...]
Colorado Prop 103: Weak Case for Tax Hike's Job-Killing "Domino" Effect
Update, 11/2: Welcome, Michelle Malkin readers... Thanks for the link! Colorado has one issue on the statewide ballot this year: Proposition 103, a large tax hike sold as a way to increase revenues for K-12 and higher education. Unfortunately, there are two major problems with this proposal that render it unworthy of support. First, it's a job-killer that very well could prolong and deepen our state's current recession. An Independence Institute issue paper by Dr. Barry Poulson finds that more than 11,000 jobs will be killed, a devastating analysis of the Prop 103 "domino" effect most creatively expressed in this amazing 3-minute video: Second, the case for more K-12 education funding rests on a very weak foundation that lacks … [Read more...]
Colorado Child Stars Win Power Line 7th Place for Portraying Fiscal Abuse
As the ominous debt ceiling deadline approaches, the release of the winners of the Power Line Prize contest ("$100,000 will be awarded to whoever can most effectively and creatively dramatize the significance of the federal debt crisis") could not have been better timed. While prominent bloggers are helping the Power Line crew count down the top entries, I have a very special and personal attachment to the 7th place winner, released today: I'm heavily biased (take time to read the brief credits), so I'm really curious to see what six entries could have finished ahead of this "Fiscal Child Abuse" video masterpiece. Maybe the girls are so cute that they somehow downplay the gravity of the message? I don't buy it, but that's the only … [Read more...]
Louisiana Seeks to Beat Colorado to Open Teacher Union Negotiations
A lot has happened in the month since I last posted here about the open negotiations controversy in Jeffco Public Schools. I was glad to see Mike Rosen bring attention to the issue on his show and in his May 12 Denver Post column, in which he concluded:A number of other states have laws mandating that negotiations between government-employee unions and government agencies be open to the public. In Colorado, that decision is currently left to local government. Colorado law is generally friendly to public openness and disclosure regarding government meetings and documents. Since a majority of funding for public-school districts in Colorado comes not from local property taxes but from the state's coffers, the state legislature clearly has … [Read more...]

FOX 31 FAIR AND BALANCED ON EDUCATION? We Report, You Decide Part Three
Originally posted at Colorado Peak Politics. Re-posted here with permission. As author, I am solely responsible for the content. On FOX 31 last night, political reporter did a sit-down with Governor John Hickenlooper for one of the School Cuts 101 series segments. The result? Unremarkable. Hick has been focused on budget issues, rightly so, and education reform barely shows up on his radar screen. Lt. Gov. Joe Garcia is the administration's point-man on education issues. Last week at the Capitol he presented the three-point education agenda. Finding money to implement SB 191 -- last year's significant teacher and principal evaluation bill -- is a worthy cause.

One good place to start is my chapter on K-12 for the Independence Institute's Citizens' Budget. Or check out what Colorado school districts like Douglas County and Falcon 49 are up to.

Local FOX 31 Denver News and reporter Eli Stokols are to be commended for wanting to look at the effects of K-12 education spending cuts and innovative ideas for addressing the challenge. But the first edition of the televised series cries out for context and correction. First of all, it's important to stress that yes, for the past couple years Colorado schools have been experiencing real budget cuts -- after years of steady increases in per-pupil funding. And of course, the cuts will have an impact, albeit an impact that can be heavily mitigated and overcome in the long run by re-thinking how our school system … [Read more...]

My personal and professional opinions happen to be in very close harmony on this issue. And both versions of the recording -- the low-quality one I deleted and the higher-quality one linked just below -- came from a concerned citizen who attended and recorded the public meeting.

Augmented Reality: using JSARToolkit with WebGL & HTML5 Video Last week I spent some time running tests and generally familiarizing myself with the JSARToolkit code. I also built a JavaScript wrapper for the library to make it easier to use. JSARToolkit is a JavaScript library converted from FLARToolkit (Flash), and is developed for tracking AR Markers in video footage. The ARToolkit converts the data from the markers into 3D coordinates with-which you can super-impose images and other 3D or 2D content. What is Augmented Reality?

Not only does it replace these but it also allows for creating forms within these controls.

Dubai: When the Government launched the 60-day amnesty on December 4, thousands of illegal immigrants were expected to rush to the immigration centres to secure exit permits and leave the country with no overstaying fines or labour bans to contend with.
UAE | General
Amnesty: The long road ahead
One month after the general pardon was announced, many families are still figuring their way out. XPRESS reports on the challenges facing them

- LONG ROAD AHEAD: Unlike 2007, Thousands of illegal immigrants are expected to flock to centres across the country as the 60-day visa amnesty begins today. PHOTO:Ahmed Ramzan/Gulf News
But one month down the line, volunteers coordinating with potential applicants told XPRESS it is not as simple as it seems. The problem according to them lies not with the authorities who have gone all out to ensure smooth and speedy processing of applications, but with the difficult circumstances that many illegal residents find themselves in. Lack of awareness about the country's laws is also delaying matters.
They said a number of expatriates are in a bind. Burdened by bad debts, credit card loans and legal cases, they cannot leave the country easily. At the same time however, they are in no position to get their status legalised.
C.P. Mathew, founder of the NGO Valley of Love (VoL), said unlike 2007 when blue collar workers comprised the majority of applicants, more middle class families are approaching him for help with paperwork this time. "The average profile of the people we are dealing with has vastly changed since 2007. Lost jobs, collapsed businesses, bad loans, credit card defaults, 'absconders' – form the bulk of cases now."
During the 2007 amnesty, around 176,000 workers could legalise their status. But this time, Mathew said legalisation is very difficult.
"VoL receives around 10-15 calls from people every day asking how they can legitimately stay on in the country. They are suffering because they are in debt or have cases against them. They keep asking if the Government will grant mercy if their case is deserving."
Dubai resident Pastor Sajith Shankar, who provides free legal advice to illegal residents, said: "Many people have huge liabilities and wish to stay back so that they can work and repay their loans. But legalisation of status is not an option for anyone who is listed as absconding or has a court case."
Shankar said many people find themselves in a mess because they lack awareness about the laws of the land. "They are not criminals, just ill-informed or victims of circumstance. They are cornered by employers, associates or money-lenders who withhold passports and slap cases against them. Employers report employees as absconding to prevent their companies from being blacklisted."
There are also several families which do not have birth certificates in place for their children. "This is a problem because to get an outpass they must first be registered with their missions. If this is not done within a year of birth, they will have to get the documents from their home country. It's a long process and can take up to three weeks," said Mathew.
Among others coming to NGOs for assistance are patients, including those in wheelchairs and with psychiatric problems. "Last time, we helped around 228 people, including five who were hospitalised and three who had undergone surgeries," said Mathew. "This time we are getting three to four requests from patients every week. We expect the second month to be busier."
Welfare groups and charity organisations have stepped in to pitch in with funds and help families negotiate with banks to get their claims waived or settled at a discount.
A Parish counsellor from Sharjah said he has been talking to banks on behalf of several families to get their dues waived. "We have 100-150 such cases. One category is of bachelors who lead lavish lifestyles and run into debts. I do not help in such cases. The other type of cases involves families who have run into problems because of job losses or the recession. I have personally approached banks to convince them about the genuineness of such cases and appealed to them to waive or reduce the claims. Good Samaritans pitch in to make these reduced payments."
Nissar Thalangara, Vice-President of the Kerala Muslim Culture Centre, said he is currently helping 11 families reach an agreement with their banks to get their claims waived or settled at lower amounts. "We have helped clear four cases and are in talks in other cases."
He said: "Many people do not have copies of their passports and are at sea on what they should do to be able to secure their exit permits. Lack of awareness is a huge stumbling block and that's one reason why people don't apply for the amnesty until the last minute."

Inside Out: Security and normalcy
12/25/2013 23:25
While the right wing holds a parliamentary majority in Israel, the theological Right was and remains a small minority.

Israeli, Arab and international media have been abuzz with reports in the past few weeks about the US administration's alleged plan to present a framework agreement to Israeli and Palestinian leaders. This framework agreement is supposed to provide a combination of guiding principles and practical mechanisms that will chart a possible resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Most reports have indicated the American proposal will be put on the table some time in January 2014, though at least one Arabic-language newspaper suggested that US Secretary of State John Kerry might present a plan even before New Year's Day next week.
Anyone who has followed Israeli, Palestinian and international discourse about resolving the conflict over the past number of years knows what the American proposal will almost certainly contain: The establishment of a Palestinian state based loosely on the 1967 lines with land swaps to allow for Israeli annexation of the major settlement blocs; a division of Jerusalem based broadly on ethnic lines, with a special arrangement in the so-called holy basin area; extensive and scrupulous security arrangements, including the full demilitarization of Palestine and a gradual Israeli withdrawal, that will ensure that Israel does not face a threat similar to the one it has faced since it unilaterally withdrew from Gaza, on the one hand, and the threat of a large-scale military invasion by a foreign army from the east, on the other; recognition of Palestine as the national homeland of the Palestinian people and the country to which Palestinian refugees and their descendants have the right to return; and recognition of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state.
Among Israelis and Palestinians, opinions are likely to be divided about how to respond to the American proposal, if the reports are accurate and one is presented.
In Israel, it goes without saying that a proposal that runs along the lines described above can be expected to be enthusiastically embraced by the Left, barring perhaps the most radical fringes, and summarily rejected by the religious Right.
The response of the large Israeli center will be influenced to a great extent by the reaction of the non-religious Right – namely, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and other top Likud Beytenu members. The opponents of the establishment of a Palestinian state on theological grounds – Gush Emunim and similar movements – presume to know God's political will.
Viewing recent historical developments on the ground through the prism of their theology, they regard the establishment of the State of Israel and the conquests it made in the Six Day War as proof that the End of Times is nigh and that the Messiah's advent is imminent. Their opposition to the possibility of Israel ceding any territory from the Land of Israel stems primarily from this eschatology, which also spearheaded the settlement enterprise.
The possibility that they might be mistaken, as all groups that have held similar eschatological beliefs – Jewish and other – always have been throughout human history (to date, at least), is scornfully dismissed.The rest of the Israeli right wing, overwhelmingly, has been reluctant to support the establishment of a Palestinian state for reasons that, while far more mundane, are nevertheless more compelling and communicable to the general public. These reasons include: the PLO's dismal track record under Yasser Arafat's leadership from Oslo through the Aqsa intifada; the developments in the Gaza Strip and their impact on Israel in the aftermath of the unilateral Israeli withdrawal in 2005; the massive body of evidence demonstrating Palestinian and broader Arab refusal to accept the legitimacy of a Jewish state in the region; and the body of evidence demonstrating that in many parts of the world Israel seems to be uniquely held to a shifting standard that it can never hope to meet.
More plainly put, the non-theological opponents of an agreement that involves the establishment of a Palestinian state are mainly worried about two things: serious security threats, on the one hand, and continued exceptional treatment of Israel on the day after, on the other.
While the right wing holds a parliamentary majority in Israel, the theological Right was and remains a small minority. If the non-theological Right – Prime Minister Netanyahu, Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon, Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar and others – can be persuaded that an agreement with the Palestinians adequately meets those needs for security and Israeli normalcy, the agreement is certain to win the support of much of the Israeli right wing and center as a result.
Perhaps that explains why Prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated in July his commitment to hold a referendum on any deal that involves ceding parts of sovereign Israel. Netanyahu knows that any agreement he endorses can be expected to enjoy very broad public support. He and his ministers only need to be persuaded either that the deal is good or, in a less optimistic scenario, that the alternative is exceedingly bad.

We love our tees and hoodies so much we could talk about them all day, but that'd be a bit weird. So we'll just say that we're immensely proud of the quality of all our garments and the super futuristic technology that creates our unique t-shirts and hoodie prints. Our t-shirts are long lasting, individual and extremely useful for abiding by public decency laws.
We advise you cold wash your garments and hang them out to dry. It'll keep them super soft, looking their best and it's even good for the environment.
Slim fit, order a size up if you'd like it less fitting. If you like your hoodies baggy, go two sizes up.

Search for missing Conway teen grows in intensity
Abigail Hernandez was reported missing by her mother, Zenya Hernandez. Police said when her mother returned to their home at 86 Village Way Wednesday, the teenager was not there.
Hernandez, reached Thursday evening, began to speak to a Union Leader reporter about her daughter's disappearance, but a woman identifying herself as "the county attorney" abruptly ended the interview.
At a news conference Thursday evening, Police Chief Edward Wagner said police are handling the matter as a missing person case.
"There's no reason to believe that this is any more than a missing person case right now," he said. "We'll search the area where Abigail was last seen and the search will continue into tonight and tomorrow."
Jane Young, senior assistant attorney general, said the Attorney General's Office, which typically takes over homicide investigations, is in Conway to help search for Abigail.
Young said the Attorney General's Office is providing investigators and attorneys to help.
"This is what we do in New Hampshire," she said. "We come together and we work together.
So far, the investigation has included witness interviews, a search of Abigail's home and the surrounding area and traces of phone calls. Her name was submitted to the National Crime Information Center as a missing person.
She was last seen wearing black yoga or stretch pants, a gray sweatshirt and black boots.

Posted by boburnham on Mar. 11, 2009
why would any of you watch this if you hate him so much? I think the world has gone retarded
i don't want to buy your cd. i want you to buy some rope and hang yourself u annoying f a g.
this guy gets on my nerves for some reason. i think he tries to hard to be funny. if someone naturally funny sang this it might make me chuckle.
LOVE IS...... Muting Bo Burnham when he tries to sing a funny song. Love Is......Photo shopping Bo Burnhams face on my dong.
 He's funny and knows how to play piano but... WTF is he doing here? shoudln't he be on youtube or my space?
 HAHAHAh like boys tossing salads needs a little bit of neverland ranch. this guy is genius, its funny how all the people posting comments about how he has no talent but i bet these hater get booed off at karaoke and the only instrument they play is their friends one holed flute. the holy crap pope bit was good too, keep it up BO.
Like Katt Williams says, and this is for all those below me choking, " You need haters!! What the F#@$ are you complaining about? What the F$#% you think a HATERS job is? Too HATE so let them do their G.D. Job" lol i love e-haters you make me smile. At least in these drastic, un-relenting economic times, the people below me still have jobs.
he is starting to act like he just does not give a sh#$%$. no effort. seems like every other song he has done. like someone listened to everything he has done before and wrote it for him, and told him to perform it. just doesn't seem like him.
dude thts the whole point of bo thts how he became famous just recording himself on an old crappy keyboard in his bedroom pfft he rules
i agree. not his best song but its still awsome....and im not a fan of obama either. and not just cause hes black..haha jk.
funny how that works out... people talking shit to just talk shit... the majority of the human race epically fails. lol
uh he has like dozens of funny songs. it takes someone 'naturally funny' to write lyrics for all those songs. sorry but ur a slice of fail served in a crap sandwich.

Reimagined Disney Movie Posters Reinvigorate Our Childhood Nostalgia
Regardless of age, one's Disney-infused upbringing proves inescapable. Whether accidentally or intentionally, in the church of American pop culture, you will be forced, again and again, to revisit the studio's biblically self-iconizing tales. Perhaps you want to get a better grip on a narrative that, as a kid, seemed wholly innocent, but that an inflamed blog now wants you to reexamine for its subtle championing of female circumcision; perhaps a listicle directed you to clandestine boners, or perhaps the wickedly talented, one and only Adele Dazeem led you down Disney-soundtrack memory lane. … Read More
Why Iggy Azalea's 'Clueless' Remake Is Pop's Greatest Love Letter to the 1990s
The 1990s as inspiration is, at this point, so ubiquitous it's mundane. So instead of adding her own take to the pile, Aussie rapper Iggy Azalea took a different approach with her new video for "Fancy": She made a shot-for-shot homage to Clueless, casting herself in the lead role of Cher Horowitz. By not trying to pass off the '90s trend as her own creation, Iggy succeeds in having fun with it — and grabbing attention. … Read More
Contrary to Sexist Oscar Blogger Opinion, Movies About Women Make Money
You've gotta feel bad for Oscar bloggers. First of all, they're Oscar bloggers. (Hahaha, I kid.) Second, due to the very definition of their job description, they have to spend something like the next six months basically twiddling their thumbs, waiting for awards season to begin anew at Toronto and Telluride. Some are coping by writing desperate "Wait, wait — what about next year" Oscar 2015 prediction posts. (Only a schmuck would attempt such a fool's errand.) But at least one, Gold Derby's Marcus James Dixon, decided the way to keep getting post-Oscar clicks was to pat Cate Blanchett on the head and assure her that no, sweetheart, people don't want to see movies about ladies. … Read More
20 Forgotten Movie Roles of Our Favorite '00s Pop Stars
Thanks to Justin Timberlake's prominent roles in Inside Llewyn Davis, Friends With Benefits, and The Social Network, we've grown used to seeing the once peroxide-blonde 'N SYNC star acting with aplomb on the big screen. No one else from the Billboard charts of the 2000s has made it to Timberlake's level of feature-film success. But even JT started somewhere — namely, with the made-for-TV prince-and-pauper redux Model Behavior (2000). As it turns out, tons of other pop stars tried to earn their own "/actor" crowns in movies you may (The Aviator) or may not (Carmen: A Hip Hopera) have seen. In celebration (and in memoriam) of these forgotten career detours, we bring you 20 films that — surprisingly — feature pop stars from the beginning of the… Read More

Let's Unpack Zack Snyder's Ugly, Mean-Spirited Terry Gilliam Slam
Being Zack Snyder sounds like a pretty sweet gig. He is, after all, a fabulously wealthy and commercially successful director who convinced Warner Brothers to hand him the keys to the DC kingdom. His entrance into it, Man of Steel, was the fifth-highest-grossing movie of last year, and his production company is releasing a sequel to his monster 2007 hit 300 — all of this in spite of the fact that his movies are borderline unwatchable. And yet, given the opportunity, the filmmaker just can't resist taking the piss out of Terry Gilliam, which is one more reason why Zack Snyder is terrible. … Read More
Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Matthew McConaughey's Bizarre Oscars Acceptance Speech?
After years of playing douchey rom-com leads, Matthew McConaughey's McConaissance has officially reached its peak. Last night, the actor won top prize at the Academy Awards for his portrayal of Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyer's Club. If you only remember him by his slew of indulgent, cheesy mid-2000s films (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, anyone?), this might come as a surprise. But in the past few years, McConaughey has ascended to new critical heights, including his first Oscar nomination this year — all while maintaining his surfer-bro persona, if also wrapped in nicer clothing. Yes, this was McConaughey's first Oscar nomination, but Dallas Buyer's Club had already earned him a Screen Actor's Guild award and an Independent Spirit award, so an Academy Award wasn't unexpected. In fact, the most surprising aspect of McConaughey's Oscar night wasn't his Best Actor win — it was the fact that his acceptance speech was straight-up weird, and everyone seems cool with it. … Read More
Flavorwire's Guide to Indie Flicks to See in March
At risk of getting all post-Oscar hyperbolic, I have a bit of good news: this is one of the best months for independent movies in a long, long time. Of the 11 films I had the chance to check out in preparation for this month's indie guide, every single one is at least worth your time, and several are a good deal better than that; they offer a wide range of experiences, from familial comedy to baroque suspense to penetrating documentary to, well, Wes Anderson. (He's kind of his own experience.) Our many, many recommendations for March movie-going are after the jump. … Read More
