Making a film is extremely challenging because of the amount of details and money involved. Here is some advice for those aspiring to make a film:
Find a script that you want to produce into a film. Have you written any scripts you have always dreamed of making into a movie? Are any of your friends sitting on a brilliant script? Making a film is an extremely laborious process. You want to make film that has a story you really believe in.
If you are a writer, see if there are any books you would like to adapt into a screenplay. Look into acquiring the rights to adapt a screenplay to the particular book. The best-sellers are most likely claimed already. Check out some of the lesser-known books that people recommend. There are some great stories out there that haven't yet been produced into a film.
Making a film costs money. Unless you already have a stash of money saved to produce your film you will need to fundraise. Search for investors. Contact companies to see if they would like to sponsor your film. This usually involves placing their product in your film and including their company in the credits. Another popular way to raise funds is to throw a fundraising party. Reserve an area at a trendy bar, get live entertainment (a friend's band), and see if you can get a celebrity-friend to make an appearance. You can also create some Internet buzz by building a website or Facebook page.
Hire a producer once you get some funds together. Find a proficient producer who will be able to hire the right crew for your film. The producer will work with the crew to handle the many details of the production (budgeting, scheduling, payroll etc.). The producer will find a location scout, costume designer, and line producer.
Find A Director
Get together with the producer to find a good director. Once production begins you will be handing off your project to the director and producer, so make sure you get a director you trust artistically for your film. Also, director will also be involved in the important decision of choosing the director of photography (DP). The DP (cinematographer) will create the "feel" of the movie with the cameras and lighting.
Consult with your producer to find a good casting director. The casting director will send out a casting call and sift through the submissions to decide on which actors to call in for an audition. After the casting director pre-reads with the actors in the first audition, they will narrow down the choices to a few actors for each role for you to see in the second audition (call-back). After the call-back you will then choose the actor for each role with the producer, and director.
After the film is budgeted, scheduled, and casted let the crew go to work. This is where you will be handing off the reigns of the film to the production crew. Give them freedom to collaborate artistically and watch your vision come together!
Once production is wrapped you will take all the footage to an editor to create the final cut of the film. Discuss with the producer and director on what editor to hire. The directors will often have an editor they primarily work with. You can oversee the editing process, but the final cut is usually decided between the director and the editor.
Getting your film distributed can be an arduous task. Most independent filmmakers submit their projects to film festivals (Sundance, Toronto International Film Festival, Slamdance Film Festival, South by Southwest, Tribeca Film Festival) in hope of finding distribution. Studios often send representatives to film festivals to scout out movies to distribute. Recent success stories for festival-found films include: Slumdog Millionaire, Juno, Napoleon Dynamite, Monster's Ball, and many more. Don't be afraid to submit your film to the top festivals. It might be the next bit hit!

My first suggestion was going to be to try to work around it, with a symlink from /usr/include/xcb to /usr/X11/include/xcb. But that might mean adding other symlinks, and finding a way to point it to the libs so it could link. In 8.0.4, which is the latest version I have here, configure's help includes the following, which may or may not be accurate (I've had "issues" with past versions ;-) : X features: --x-includes=DIR X include files are in DIR --x-libraries=DIR X library files are in DIR These options are only used when the X libraries cannot be found by the pkg-config utility. So, I recommend you look for something like that in the current version. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce

Q. My girlfriend of several years moved a year ago, across the ocean to...
Almost every teacher that I know personally is a wonderful individual — generous, kind, hard-working and knowledgeable.
So how come they can turn into such boneheads when they act as a group?
I'm referring to the way that unionized public school teachers are using kids as human shields in their current war with the provincial government.
I felt sick as I read about a school trip that students at Edna Staebler Public School in Waterloo were looking forward to — and had raised $7,000 for, so that all students could afford it — that now may not happen because of teachers' job action. Senior students are bitterly disappointed that the four-day trip they've planned to Camp Tawingo in Huntsville in February is now "on hold."
The teachers are angry at the provincial government because of the Putting Students First Act, which has restricted their right to strike and imposed certain kinds of job conditions on such things as unpaid days off and sick days. The government is doing this because it is in dire financial straits.
Some local elementary teachers have responded by declining to volunteer for extracurricular activities, like the trip planned for Edna Staebler students. They have also kept report card comments to the bare minimum.
Secondary school teachers are still running extracurricular activities, but are refusing to do things like take their turn at lunch supervision or substitute for absent colleagues, even though that's part of what they're paid to do.
As a result of that job action, the school board has put a hold on plans for field trips, some sports events, and other special events (such as the federal-provincial simulated conference) that require a teacher to be out of the building during the school day. "We have to be cautious about our commitments in the future," given the situation, said Mark Schinkel, the board's executive superintendent for human resources.
Can't the teachers see that the worst possible strategy for them is to withhold extracurriculars, or cause them to be withheld? They will only lose what little sympathy the public has for them.
Once the government figures out that there isn't any public support for the teachers, it will do whatever it wants.
Teachers will say they don't want to hurt the kids, but they have to follow the advice of their unions. Not true. Unions are elected by the teachers, and serve the teachers, not the other way round.
And extracurricular activities, even though they are an accepted part of the job, are quite clearly marked as volunteer work in teacher contracts. Unions don't have any control over what their members do as volunteers. So — a little backbone would be nice.
Meanwhile, refusing to write more than one sentence on a report card comment, or not showing up for lunch supervision, is not doing your job, as far as I'm concerned. And if you're not doing your job, yet you're still collecting your paycheque, then you shouldn't expect public support.
Teachers, if you want to hit back at the hated legislation which imposed these working conditions on you, I have a more constructive suggestion than taking it out on students and their hard-working parents.
Why don't you join the Ontario Liberal Party en masse?
There are more than 100,000 of you across the province. You've got until midnight Friday night to buy your $10 party memberships. By sheer force of numbers, you can then control who gets selected as delegates to the leadership convention, and thus influence who is chosen as the new leader at the end of January. Put your considerable political muscle behind the leadership candidate who is most likely to repeal the law you don't like and to deal with you in a more respectful manner.
This is a unique opportunity to do something about the situation you hate. You can help choose the new Ontario Premier, for heaven's sake. So focus on that. And please, leave our kids out of your line of fire.

Saturday, July 17
Sun Life Stadium
Attendance: 23,005
Miami, FL (Sports Network) - Ronny Paulino hit a two-run single in the bottom of the second inning, and the Florida Marlins posted a 2-0 victory over Washington in the second test of a three-game series at Sun Life Stadium.
Florida starter Josh Johnson (10-3) gave up seven hits and struck out seven over six innings. The right-hander lowered his earned run average to an MLB- best 1.62 while improving to 7-0 lifetime in 14 career games (13 starts) against the Nationals.
Paulino's single was among the four hits yielded by former Marlins ace Livan Hernandez (6-6) in his six innings of work.
Nyjer Morgan and Roger Bernadina started the game with back-to-back singles off Johnson. But the All-Star retired the next three batters to escape the first-inning jam.
"I had to battle from the first inning," Johnson said. "That first inning (prevented) me from getting deeper in the game, but I just battled."
The Marlins got all the runs they needed in the next frame. Dan Uggla reached on a fielding error to begin the second and Jorge Cantu followed with a single to right field. Mike Stanton drew a one-out walk to load the bases for Paulino, who sent a soft liner over the glove of a leaping Adam Kennedy at second.
Washington had something brewing in the seventh, placing runners on the corners with two away, but reliever Jose Veras fanned Ryan Zimmerman to preserve the two-run advantage.
Clay Hensley got a double-play ball from Ivan Rodriguez to close out the eighth for the Marlins, and Leo Nunez pitched the ninth for his 21st save of the season.

"I'm excited about what the future holds," Maclin said on Friday. "Once again, both sides have made it known what we want to do. I think it will take care of itself."
He could be franchise tagged if a deal is not signed. The tag number for wide receivers is yet to be determined.
Maclin had 85 catches in 2014 for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns in Philadelphia.
Tate had 99 catches for 1,331 yards and four touchdowns in 2014. He was considered the fourth alternate for the game. It is also the first time in Lions' history two wide receivers will play in the Pro Bowl in the same season.
Maclin, who will be replacing Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, recorded career highs across the board in 2014, catching 85 passes for 1,318 yards and 10 touchdowns. He is set to reach free agency after the season.
Maclin has said he wants to return to Philly, which drafted him in 2009, and he's expected to be one of the team's offseason priorities.
"When the time's right, it'll get done," Maclin said. "Both sides have made it clear that they want me to be here. They want me to be here, I want to be here. This is the place I want to be. As long as we can agree to something, this is where I want to be. If something else happens, that's what happens, but I try not to get caught up in that."
Maclin is finishing the best season of his young career, with 82 catches for 1,269 yards and 10 touchdowns heading into the last week of the season.
Maclin was signed to a one-year, $5.25 million deal in the offseason after tearing his ACL in 2013, which gave the Eagles a chance to see what the Missouri product could do when healthy.

Rangers Ballpark in Arlington
Attendance: 20,432
Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - Josh Hamilton hit a two-run homer as part of a five-run first inning, as the Texas Rangers held off the Chicago White Sox, 6-5, in the middle installment of a three-game series at Rangers Ballpark.
Joaquin Arias knocked in a pair of runs for the Rangers, who won 4-2 in the series opener on Tuesday. David Murphy and Julio Borbon each drove in a run for the victors.
Rich Harden (1-1) went six innings, allowing three runs on four hits with five walks and two strikeouts to pick up his first win in a Rangers uniform. Harden improved to 4-3 in eight career starts versus Chicago.
"I think we just need to focus on stringing wins together, winning series, and just continue to improve every day," Murphy said.
Carlos Quentin went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer for the White Sox, who have lost six in a row on the road. A.J. Pierzynski had two hits, an RBI, and a run scored. Alexei Ramirez also knocked in a run in defeat.
Jake Peavy (0-2) gave up six runs on six hits in a 6 1/3-inning start. He also fanned seven batters and walked five. Peavy is winless in his first five starts for the first time in his career.
Down 6-3 in the ninth, Chicago made things interesting. Neftali Feliz started the frame on the hill for Texas and gave up a one-out double to Quentin. Two batters later, Pierzynski hit an RBI bloop double to right. Pierzynski moved to third on a wild pitch and crossed the plate on Ramirez's base hit to center. Feliz, though, got Juan Pierre to ground out to pick up his third save of the season.
The Rangers drew first blood with five runs in the first inning. Elvis Andrus led off with a single and scored on Hamilton's homer to center. Murphy, Justin Smoak, and Matt Treanor worked two-out walks to load the bases. Arias then hit a two-run single to right. Borbon followed with an RBI base hit up the middle.
The White Sox left men in scoring position in the first and second.
Harden gave up just two hits before running into trouble in the sixth. With runners on the corners and two outs, Quentin blasted Harden's offering over the wall in right-center to cut the gap to 5-3.
Texas plated a run in the seventh to extend its lead to 6-3. Michael Young hit a one-out double to right, chasing Peavy from the game. Randy Williams took over on the hill and got Hamilton to ground out, but Young went to third on the play. Vladimir Guerrero was then intentionally walked to put men on the corners for Murphy, who hit an RBI double to right. Smoak was intentionally walked to load the bases. Tony Pena was called in from the bullpen and he got Treanor to fly out.
"Harden would do everything to give up runs. He made just one pitch every inning to work out of it," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said.

'The Art of Rap' is a new documentary movie that rapper/actor Ice-T has just released. I was lucky enough to see the UK premiere at Hammersmith Apollo which was followed by a live performance by Melle Mel, Chuck D (of Public Enemy), Raekwon and Ghostface Killah (of Wu-Tang Clan), and Ice-T himself all accompanied by DJ Evil E!
Those are all legendary names to me but I realise that many people won't know them and some who do know won't like them. And some won't like rap music in general, or even consider it an art form. So I'm not about to try to convince anyone that they should like rap, or try to defend the less wholesome aspects of the genre.
In case you didn't know I'm a long time fan of Ice-T in fact that's where I took my DA name 'rhymesyndicate' from. The Rhyme Syndicate is the group of hip-hop associates Ice-T led back in the 1980s and 90s (it's also my Twitter name if you're interested).
So I am biased - but I do think that this movie is a valid and intelligent effort to try to understand the creative process of the individuals involved. And that's where I see parallels that will be of interest to people in any creative medium.
Just like any art form, there's a broad spectrum of rap. Some is entertaining, some is objectionable, some is ignorant, some is educational. Any of those adjectives could be used to describe the variety of artwork submitted to DA.
And just like any art form, if you want to be good at it - it takes skill, intelligence, effort, practice, perseverance, and originality.

Mulching: Spread Organic Materials In Fall To Protect Plants, Improve SoilBy The Old House WebTweet ...
Plant in well prepared soil. The soil can have 50% more organic material added than you would for other vegetables.Spinach and some of the seeds in the Mesclun Mix should be planted in mid April or as soon as the ground can be worked.
Organic material - All vegetables need a healthy amount of organic material in the soil they grow in. Organic material serves many purposes. Most importantly, it provides many of the nutrients that plants need to grow and thrive.
Organic MaterialMost anything that was a plant will naturally decompose.
Organic materialsManure is excellent for a mulch or for incorporating into the soil. Only aged manure should be used, as there is chance of burn from fresh manure. All types add organic matter and are good soil builders.
Organic Materials To AvoidSomeday when your compost pile has shrunk and looks disappointedly small, you may scour your yard and home for organics to add to it. Some of those materials do not belong in your backyard compost pile.
Organic material Any material which originated as a living organism.Ornamental Showy or visually pleasing.
OMRI- Organic Materials Review InstituteThis national nonprofit organization produces a list of which input products are allowed for use in organic production and processing.
Other Organic Materials Mulch looks nice and benefits your garden.
Organic materials which have not broken down sufficiently (fresh manures, manures with lots of wood shavings, fresh leaf piles, etc.) should be turned into the garden in the fall or a few weeks before planting or applied only in small quantities.
Organic materials decompose in nature to feed soil and make it healthy. You can imitate nature in your own yard by composting your yard waste and kitchen waste.
Organic materials, also known as organic amendments, break apart tight clays and hold water and nutrients in loose sands. Organic materials include compost, peat and manure.
Organic materials such as straw, hay, shredded leaves or grass clippings work well as mulches. You can apply dry materials such as old hay three to six inches deep.
Organic material can be added to soil in the form of compost, leave, grass clippings or decomposed manure. Mixing organic material into the soil prior to planting can give your plants the boost they need to growth and be productive.
Organic material is a natural part of soil and the cycle of life. All plants and animals eventually die and fall to the earth. There they decay, helped by other creatures such as insects, worms and microorganisms.
Organic material also encourages the development of fruit by retaining moisture and releasing micronutrients. You can add manure, peat moss or compost up to a year before planting your trees.
Organic material composes only about 1% of the soil in Oklahoma. It may be higher, up to 4-5% in the cooler upper mid West.
Organic materials can be added to the garden as individual fertilizer components. Wood ash can be used as a source of potassium in the garden. Grass clippings can also be used as potassium in the garden.
Organic material larger than 2 inches will slow down the compost process.NutrientsIf grass clippings are not added to the compost occasionally add a high nitrogen fertilizer.

All organic material will break down given enough time, but Costa needs a large volume as quickly as possible. To accelerate and control the decomposition, he is building a hot compost.

What Organic Materials Can Be Used in the Compost PileMost anything organic, but most popular materials are natural materials such as straw, leaves, pine straw, grass clippings, shrub clippings, garbage, fish scraps, water hyacinths, etc.
Mixing organic material (preferably compost) and natural soil amendments with your soil is of great importance to your success as a gardener (see Organic Matter Management).
As the organic material breaks downs it creates a soil warming effect.And finally - it really works!Worms.
Mulch: Organic material placed on the soil surface around plants to conserve moisture, prevent crusting, reduce soil erosion, control weeds and improve soil structure.
CompostOrganic material composed of decaying plant and animal matter for use in soilConiferWoody trees and shrubs that produce cones. Common conifers include pines, firs, spruce, juniper, redwood and hemlocks ...
MANURE -- An organic material excreted by animals (usually from steer is sold commonly) this is used as a fertilizer and an amendment to enrich the soil.
Add Organic Material. For a healthy lawn, your soil must contain at least 2 to 5 percent of organic material. Your compost pile will provide you with these life giving nutrients. Aerate the Area.
Add the necessary organic material (compost) and natural fertilizers in the appropriate quantities and work them into your soil as deeply as possible. Pitch forks are great for this as well as large shovels.
of organic material such as commercially prepared compost or manure and 2 - 3 small handfuls of a slow release fertilizer. Your local garden center can recommend the proper amendments to use based on the type of tree you're planting.
Any loose, usually organic material placed over the soil - such as ground bark, sawdust, straw or leaves - is a mulch. The process of applying such materials is called mulching. A mulch can serve various functions.
If manure and other organic material has not been used, apply fertilizer that contains both nitrogen and phosphorus before planting. All commercial fertilizers are labeled by the percentages of N-P-K; nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K).
Organic Matter or Organic MaterialTo a gardener, organic matter is something with organic compounds that you add to the soil as an amendment.
Soil amendment: Any organic materials you till into the soil to improve its texture and nutrient content.Humus: The finished product of compost - a rich, black matter packed with nutrients that improves soil texture.
If your soil is heavy (clay), add organic material or plant in raised beds. Full sun is best, but eight hours will do.
Composting is nature's way of recycling and breaking down organic material back into the soil. You can add any plant material to the pile as long as it is disease-free.
For best results, incorporate organic material into the soil when planting. Magnolias tolerate sun to partial shade, and open their sweetly scented blossoms in May and June.
Hunt around your town for a plentiful source of free organic material. You might try a horse farm, food processing plant, local wood shop, or grounds maintenance service. Cover your pile for best results.
In borderline hardy areas, mulch with several centimetres of organic material, such as shredded leaves or compost, over winter. For added protection, erect a windbreak made of burlap attached to sturdy stakes around (but not touching) the plants.
Prepare the soil for planting by digging over and adding plenty of organic material, such as well-rotted manure or leaf mould - this will help to improve the soil's moisture-retaining ability and fertility.
Worms feed on decaying organic material and soil. Their digestive system concentrates the organic and mineral concentrations of the food they eat, so the castings are richer in available nutrients than the soil1 around them.
0, well mulched with organic material. Rhododendrons thrive in a moist, well-drained, humus-filled soil, enriched with peat moss or leaf mold. You only need to amend the soil if it is devoid of organic matter or if the pH is too high.
Soil: Give them well-drained soil rich in organic material. Never plant so trunk base is below soil line, and never let soil cover base. Keep roots cool with a 2-in.-thick mulch (kept away from base).
Mold spores are everywhere, and can grow on almost any organic material. Mold likes high temperatures (mid 70°F), high humidity, darkness, and stagnant air.
Composting is the simple process of controlling the decomposition of organic materials so that they can be used as a soil amendment.
The best way to improve the soil condition is to add organic material such as straw, grass clippings and leaves.
Organic materials for composting all contain nutrients that provide energy and growth for microorganisms. These organic materials each have their own ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C:N) in their tissues (Table 1).
Organic materials used for compost should include a mixture of brown organic material (dead leaves, twigs, manure) and green organic material (lawn clippings, fruit rinds, etc.). Brown materials supply carbon, while green materials supply nitrogen.
Think about making use of the pile of organic materials as a growing medium. Throw in a few spuds, and keep piling more materials around them as they shoot, to encourage more roots and potentially more potatoes.
Soils should contain five percent organic material. Nearly all soils, whether clay, sandy or humus, benefit from the addition of organic matter.
In addition to man-made fertilizers, there are natural, organic materials that can be used to feed your lawn. A mulch mower chops up grass clippings and distributes them back onto the lawn, thereby returning nitrogen to the soil.
Carrots prefer a light soil which has been improved with lots of well-rotted organic material fully dug into the soil. Carrots grown on heavy soil, or where organic material is not well-rotted, will become misshapen and grow 'forked.
Fresh organic materials lose more than half their volume by the time they are fully decomposed. The best option, if available, is to add compost to the soil. After a few years of large additions you can decrease the amount to 1 in. each year.
Improving your soil's moisture-holding capacity is as simple as mixing organic material, such as compost, into your beds. Depending on the type of soil you have, more organic matter can mean more accessible water for your plants.
Earthworms pull leaves, manure and other organic material from the earth's surface down below to use as food or as a plug for their burrows.
Remove weeds and spade in rich organic material. You'll have plenty of time to do this, since cucumbers are subtropical vines that prefer the sunny days and balmy nights of summertime.
It is best to used organic material that has been sterilized, but using grass clippings or tree leaves will help. Improving the soil is a continuing process so expect to add more organic material each season.
The water retention in light, sandy soil can be greatly increased by the addition of organic materials, and this in turn creates an ideal environment in which the worms will thrive.
The best gardens are rich in organic materials. Over time, your plants consumes the rich nutrients present in the soil. Those nutrients need to be replaced for future crops.
A layer of loose organic material spread thickly over the ground, to minimize weeds, help the intended plants retain moisture (keeps as much water from evaporating from the soil), ...
When planting in a container, always use potting soil that contains perlite or bark so the pot has good drainage and enough organic material to absorb and hold moisture.
COLD COMPOST: A method by which organic material just rots on its own. It may take months or years to naturally decompose. There may be a significant amount of weed seeds. And, there may be the danger of some disease organisms still in the compost.
A layer of material spread on top of the soil around plants. Organic material such as shredded bark, compost or leaf mold retain moisture and insulate roots. Inorganic material such as black plastic suppress weeds and retain moisture in the soil.
Composting lawn and garden waste is a great way to obtain organic material for your garden while reducing the environmentally negative aspects of trucking yard waste to the landfill.
Autumn leaves, lawn clippings, compost and pine needles are all suitable for use as mulch. Other organic materials include sawdust, straw, hay, wood chips, wood bark and shredded redwood.
CompostA garden additive made from organic material such as garden & kitchen refuse that has been stored in such a way that air, moisture and sometimes worms will break down the materials into a homogeneous substance.
A bin into which is placed organic materials (grass clippings, leaves,vegtable and fruit peelings) in order to create compost.Add a definition to this termReturn to the Gardenology homepage ...
C:N ratio The ratio of carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) in organic materials. Materials with a high C:N ratio (high in carbon) are good bulking agents in compost piles, while those with a low C:N ratio (high in nitrogen) are good energy sources.
Compost - Decayed organic material used as a plant fertilizer.Conifer - A cone-bearing tree or shrub, often evergreen, usually with needle-like leaves.
The selection and testing of undisturbed soils, buried materials such as wood, firepit remains, and other organic materials, for measurement of radioactive carbon 14 with a half-life of approximately 5,500 years, ...
MulchingCover spring-flowering bulb plantings with 2 to 4 inches of organic material after cold weather arrives in fall. Avoid unshredded leaves because they can mat down tightly. Remove the mulch in early spring.
Remove black plastic mulch or cover it with organic mulch. Cover soil with organic material such as compost to moderate temperature and retain moisture.Monitor plants for insect problems and begin controls immediately.
California Integrated Waste Management BoardInformation and resources for organic materials management and home gardening, including grasscycling, home composting, and worm composting.
These networks and tunnels are literally a transport system for nutrients and organic material.
Digging over roughly in the autumn, leaving a good surface area exposed to frost and adding plenty of bulky organic material can help to improve the condition and drainage of a clay soil.
Generally, horse manure is piled up with decomposing horse bedding like straw and sawdust mixed. After it has been aged, it maybe mixed with other organic materials such as soil, worms, and beneficial fungi.
You will need a lot of soil and organic material to make a raised bed that is of a decent size, but it is still easier to have the nursery dump a load of each where you want your bed than to dig through clay and rocks to make your bed.
standing crop search for term- weight or organic material that can be sampled or harvested at any one time from a given area, but may not necessarily include the entire plant.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Cuddly Dudley is a lifesize (at 28.5 inch tall) shiny plush stuffed animal nostalgic cocker spaniel doll that was used as a subscription sales promotional item by the Chicago Tribune in the mid-1960s.[1][2] In addition, the animal took on a life of its own as a recurring character on Chicago children's TV for many years.[1]
Cuddly Dudley was an idea Jerry Glasspiegel came up with in the middle of the night when he was thinking of a good promotion idea for his customer, The Chicago Tribune. Francis A. Schumacher, the then-home circulation supervisor for the Chicago Tribune, helped start the Cuddly Dudley promotion program.[3] As part of the program, home subscribers received a stuffed dog for subscribing.[3][4] The idea was very similar to Disney or McDonald's, in that the hope was that the kids would pester the parents for the animal, effectively shilling for the paper. As part of the scheme a 1967 Sunday paper, the newspaper's largest issue of the week, included a cut and fold insert encouraging kids to "save" Dudley from the "runaway Christmas train."[5] Vintage dolls with the original box, which converts into Dudley's cardboard car, get up to $200 at auction.[6]
Roy Brown, a fixture on WGN's kid vid for decades, subsequently retrofitted the plush animal as a working puppet.[7][1] He performed as the voice and puppeteer behind Cuddly for many years on "Ray Rayner and Friends", a classic morning show on WGN, which was also owned by the Chicago Tribune. The segment appeared weekly on Fridays near the end of the show, for the last 10–15 minutes. Ray would begin singing "The Cuddly Dudley Song" (to the music of "The Whistler and His Dog" by Arthur Pryor) and walk over to Cuddly's doghouse. Dudley would proceed to read jokes and display artwork submitted by local Chicago children. The big draw was getting one's name mentioned on air, as Dudley would always namedrop each submitter's name before the joke/artwork was read/ shown. Knock-knock jokes were a recurring theme. Ray would give a wonderful forced laugh after each joke. There were always adult ad-libs between Brown and Rayner, and Roy Brown often would get Ray to crack up if he was feeling particularly silly that morning.[8] Cuddly Dudley also appeared on the Bozo the Clown show.[9] The puppet and his doghouse are part of the collection of the Museum of Broadcast Communications.[10][11]
As Rayner began the segment he would sing the following song. Music by Arthur Pryor. Lyrics by an unknown source.
We're off to Cuddly Dudley's house he's cute as he can be. With his fur of gold and his nose so cold he's cuddly as can be. He's got riddles and jokes and the fun that he pokes is never aimed at me. Here's the place that he lives and the name that he gives is Cuddly.
"The Whistler and His Dog" by Arthur Pryor, used as music for "The Cuddly Dudley Song" sung by Ray Rayner, is featured in the Kia Spectra Musical Cars commercial.[12]
He is mentioned in the Animaniacs song "I'm Cute" by Dot Warner.
In addition, Cuddley Dudley was Britain's first black Rock and Roller; Cuddly Duddly was a nickname given to actor Dudley Moore.[13] Further, the Chicago Cubs has been referred to as Cuddly Duddly clones.[14]
