I LOVE Lonney Toons! I'm a total comedy/cartoon geek.
HeHe! I can hear it in my head now, " Wile e. coyote. Soooooooper genius."
My favourite character is Foghorn Leghorn, he is hilarious!
Here's a link to one of my favorites. It's called " Haredevil Hare"
It features Bugs Bunny and Marvin Martin
Oh, My favorite Characters are, Daffy Duck, ( when he was crazy ) Yosemite Sam, Wile Coyote, and Sylvester.
so am i loveshaun19, a total cartoon geek mainly if it's older. I love haredevil hare, one my favorites. why dont you like the later daffy duck, the transition made sense after he appeared he was to be the new star but then bugs bunny came and stoll the spotlight, i love wacky daffy, but i also really like greedy daffy. who is your'e favorite director, mine's chuck jones A.K.A. charles m. jones.
I don't really hate greedy Daffy, but he seemed to lose a lot of character/cleverness to me. At fist he was kind of like Bugs only nuttier. He could outsmart the hunters with the best of them, but make you laugh more. ( At least I think so) Greedy Daffy is still funny, but in a different way/style. I kind of wish both charcters could have shared equal status. However I guess when they were developing the characters, one had to come out on top, and since Bugs always does, well, he did. I guess I take it too personally. It's almost like watching your favorite actor become the number two guy in an acting team. You still like to watch them act, but they're not a the peak of their form and it kind of hurts to watch after a while, because you know what they were capable of. On a smaller scale, ( although I know he's not real just a character. ) that's sort of how I feel about Daffy. I think he had more potential for humor ,not when he was just nutty ( Like some of the really old cartoons) but when he started to get brains and nuttiness mixed together. People will hate me for saying this, but in some of the cartoons where it was Daffy against hunter, ( When he was still, um, daffy ) I think he was funnier than Bugs. Sorry for the long paragraph. I'm longwinded anyway, but I could discuss comedy, and cartoons for a loooooooooooooooong time.
I have met the current voice actor for porky pig, he was a very ni...ni...nic.. ni... ni.... Uh... Wonderful p...p..p...per...p...person.
Ok, Here's a list/ some info on my favorite LT animators. First, a shout-out to all of them though. Each one brought such a unique style and brand of humor the cartoon industry, that it's hard to compare them. These are just my favorites( not in order from most to least favorite, they're equal ), with some of the reasons, and a example of one of their LT cartoons.So here we go.
Frank Tashlin: He did a lot of the old B&W cartoons, especially with Porky and Daffy.
He was really good at playing with angles. You can spot a Tashlin cartoon pretty easily. He had a unique style.
" Porky Pigs Feat"
( Guest star BB!)
Tex Avery: He's more known for his " Droopy Dog" cartoons, but he did some old BB cartoons and " One Shot "( Meaning usually without a recurring character) Looney Toones/Merrie Melodies. His cartoons are known best for their crazy visual sight gags.
" A wild Hare"
Bob Clampett: Did some of the classic BB cartoons. Was also known for his one shots, which usually took the form of a humorous tour of some place or another.
" The Wacky Wabbit"
Fritz Freeling: Known for creating( and acting like!) the character " Yosimite Sam". He also did the " Tweety" and "Sylvester" cartoons. He is also known for after his work with Warner Bros., doing the " Pink Panther", " Inspector" ( Not to be confused with "insepector gadget") and " Ant and the Aardvark"cartoons. He also did some pretty good one shots.
" Holiday for Shoestrings"
Chuck Jones: Did most of the more famous BB cartoons, Including the most famous and voted number one cartoon to date, " What's Opera Doc?". He also did the " Roadrunner" and " Wile Coyote" cartoons, as well as a lot of one shots, including probably the most famous/well known one, " One Froggy Evening" ( " Hello my baby! Hello my honey..." ).
" One froggy evening"
Like I said, I like them all ( Including the ones I left out) pretty equally. It depends on what mood I'm in and what I want to see, but generally these guys are my favorites.
Sorry for the long answer w&gfan75, but like I said, I'm a Comedy Geek. I get into it! Thanks for this thread! Can we talk about other types of cartoons and comedy too, or is it LT only for now? Thanks again! It's a lot of fun.
loveshaun19 Sure we can talk about any cartoons and comedy we want. personally i really dont like bob clampett cartoons. frank tashlin was pretty good, my personal favorite of his is "Swooner Crooner". tex avery awsome, every thing of his amazingP.S. i think bob clampett was copying him, that's why i dont really like his cartoons. friz freleng also pretty good. chuck jones my favorite animation director of all time, he is why i want to become an animator, my favorite cartoon of all time is "What's Opera Doc?". thanks for the positive feedback, if you have any requests for future cartoon or comedy forums.
" Swooner Crooner " That's the one with the Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby chickens right? " It's FRRRRRAAAANKIE!!!!!!!!". Or have I got the wrong one?
no shaunlove19 thats right
Hey W&Gfan, have you seen the really old DD cartoon, " Daffy duck and the Dinosaur", with the Jack Benny-like caveman? I cloned two pictures together to match the title. Daffy looks totally different in the cartoon than he does in the picture though.
Here's the Cartoon,
and here's the picture.
Ha i love it and the cartoon. a great early chuck jones classic
A picture I drew from the cartoon " Bugs Bunny gets the Boid"
Here's the Cartoon.
( P.S. I know you're not too fond of BC cartoons W&Gfan, but I like the character of "Beaky" In this one. )
Here's my picture.
loveshaun19 great picture. This is actually one BC cartoon i like
Thanks! I'm glad you like the cartoon. Although, now that you mentioned it, I can see the simillarity to Tex Avery's style
loveshaun in your'e director post you left Robert Mckinsom
oh sorry loveshaun i didn't notice the thing you said at the bottom about leaving some out
my favourite charecter is bugs bunny it is hard to say which one!
Oops! I can't beleive I forgot him, though!
Here's a picture I painted of Wile swinging down after Roadrunner. I hope you like it.
I called it " The thrill of the hunt"
that's amazing. 10/10
nice i like the angle you have drawn it at!
Thank you!
your welcome!
This is one of my favorites. It's called " Yankee Doodle Daffy". In this one, Daffy tries to get porky to let his actor freind/client audition for him, but Porky the talent scout wants to go on vacation. Daffy keeps insisting, by doing a buch of acts himself to show Porky what his client can do. Personally, I think Porky should have considered hiring Daffy in this one, not his client. He does so many acts. Hope y'all enjoy this! I love how crazy Daffy is in this one.
that's one of my favorite wacky daffy cartoons.
since i'm a giant looney tunes fan i will tell you about my looney tunes stuff:
the spotlight collection vol.1, the essential bugs bunny,looney tunes super stars: bugs bunny, the platinum collection vol.1 ultimate collector's edition, golden collection vol.1-6 collection, loonatics unleashed season 1.
the looney tunes treasury.
taz plush, bugs bunny at the symphony plush.
bugs bunny at the symphony.
As you can see, i am a giant LT fan. there my favorite cartoons of all time. hope you have enjoyed and continue to enjoy this fourm.
here's my clay model re-creating a scene from "What's Opera Doc?"
hmm no one's been posting for a little they need something..... I know ..... good night
Here's a picture I drew for W&Gfan with STS characters as Looney Toons characters.
lol funny!
Another one of my favorites, " Daffy Doodles". In this one, Daffy is in his element as the devious " Moustache Fiend"
A picture I made with different images using the program " Gimp". It's supposed to be Bugs and Elmer as the Comedy/Tragedy masks.
i like it
Thanks very much!

Ravens cornerback Corey Graham, who played high school football at Turner-Carroll, continues to celebrate a Super Bowl title.
Graham made several big plays in the Ravens win over the San Francisco 49ers in New Orleans on Sunday. He was credited with six tackles and broke up a couple of passes. Graham came up with a couple of key stops on second and third down in the sequence late in the fourth quarter where the Ravens were clinging to a five point lead and kept the 49ers out of the end zone, essentially sealing the 34-31 win.
"Words can't even express it. It's been amazing. This whole ride this year has been amazing. I couldn't ask for anything more.
We've been fighting all year. I mean the guys out there play for each other... love each other... and we found a way to get it done."
When asked what he had to say to family and friends back in Buffalo?
"We're the best in the world baby."
After high school, Graham played at the University of New Hampshire, and then spent five seasons with the Chicago Bears. Graham joined the Ravens this season looking to make the most of the opportunity to play more at cornerback.
Did he ever.
Graham and the Ravens will celebrate the Super Bowl title with a parade in Baltimore on Tuesday.

The College of Eastern Utah baseball team continued season action this past weekend as the team traveled to Nevada. In a two day event, the Eagles faced the Southern Nevada Coyotes.
In the first game which took place last Friday afternoon, the Eagles sent Pat Wells to the pitchers mound. Wells played six innings allowing four hits and five runs.
The first run came in the bottom of the second inning as the Coyotes jumped ahead of the Eagles, 1-0.
The Eagles stepped up to bat in the third and had a difficult time making things click. The team was sent back out onto the field without a run under their belts.
The Coyotes continued to tally up points in the bottom of the third as they scored one more run. The Eagles now faced the pressure of launching a comeback.
At the end of six innings, the Eagles had failed to score a single run and the Coyotes claimed the Scenic West Atletic Conference victory by the final, 5-0.
The Eagles finished the first game of the day with three hits and no runs. With this in mind, the Eagles entered the second game determined to do better.
As the eastern Utah team stepped up to bat in the top of the first inning, the team accomplished what they set out to do. That was improve.
The Eagles scored one run in the first to take the 1-0 lead. The Coyotes answered CEU with two runs of their own in the bottom of the inning.
The scoring battle cooled off in the second inning as neither SWAC team scored a run.
In the bottom of the third however, the Nevada ball club managed to score three runs forcing the point gap to 5-1 in favor of the Coyotes as the two teams entered the fourth inning.
The Eagles found themselves losing momentum at this point. By the sixth inning, the team had tested three different pitchers out and the hits just weren't coming.
The Eagles kicked off their second rally of the game in the top of this inning. The team did so by scoring two runs.
The Coyotes answered with two runs of their own in the bottom of the sixth.
As the Eagles entered the top of the seventh, they were faced with the difficult task of making up six runs in order to stay alive in the ball game.
CEU did score two runs in the inning before losing the ball game to the hosting Nevada team, 9-5.
The Eagles improved their batting figures in the second game by finishing with eight hits.
The following day, the Eagles stepped back out onto the field to face the Coyotes for the final two time last week.
The Eagles came out swinging in the first game of the day as they scored three runs in the top of the first inning.
Southern Nevada was unable to answer the Eagle's scoring frenzy as the two teams entered the second inning with CEU leading the game, 3-0.
In this inning, the Eagles were able to score another run, but the Coyotes scored five of their own in the same inning.
In the final three innings of the game, the Coyotes opened up the door wide and took control of the scoreboard.
At the end of six innings, the Eagles had lost their third straight game to the Coyotes, 14-4.
The Eagles faced throwing problems in this game as the team tried out six different pitchers. But nothing seemed to work for the CEU team.
In the final of four games, the Eagles came out weathered, but not worn.
The game did play out much like the first three however. By the time that the Eagles stepped up to bat in the top of the second inning, they found themselves trailing southern Nevada, 6-0.
The only run of the game for the Eagles happened in the top of the third as Dustin Anderson ran in to home to score the run.
After seven innings, the Eagles had lost the final game, 7-1.
The disappointing weekend brought the Eagles season record to 7-16 overall and 1-7 against SWAC teams.
The Eagles hope to have a better weekend this week as the team travels to the Colorado Northwestern Community College where they will compete in four conference games.
CEU will return home next weekend as they host two days of action against Utah Valley State College.

86-year-old Harrah woman killed in crash with fruit truck
UNION GAP, Wash. -- An 86-year-old woman died following a car crash Friday morning on I-82. Troopers identified the woman as Olive Pastrana of Harrah.
Officials say the woman was driving her car down the interstate just before 10:00 a.m. when she tried to make a U-turn on the freeway from the right lane.
A fruit truck tried to pass her on the left, clipped the car and drug it down the road. The semi came to a stop in a creek off the roadway.
Emergency responders attempted CPR on Pastrana. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Troopers say the truck driver was not injured. It does not appear that drugs or alcohol were a factor.

LISBON - The Lisbon Town Council will consider refurbishing the brick walls at the Hepburn Library when they meet on Wednesday evening.
Weve got to do that, Town Councilor Alan D. Dailey said. Its in really bad shape.
Mr. Dailey suggested the project during Novembers council meeting and said he plans on making a motion to get the ball rolling at the next meeting.
Its one of the more pressing things [in the town], he said. Its our responsibility to keep it up at any cost.
Library Director Michelle A. McLagan said, Its something weve been talking about for a couple of years.
The building, which is roughly 94 years old, is showing its age, Ms. McLagan said.
The mortar and so forth is not being maintained property, she said.
Ms. McLagan said the exterior of the mortar joints need to be retouched in order to combat the effects of decades of weathering.
But Ms. McLagan said this is not a new discussion.
Its been something weve been talking about for a couple of years, she said.
In 2012 the library was fitted with a new door, that cost roughly $6,780, and Ms. McLagan expects work on the buildings brick walls to be significantly more expensive.
Ms. McLagan said she expects the project would cost anywhere from $50,000 to $60,000, but added that the library and the town would be seeking out state grants to help cover the cost. The project, if approved by the town council, could begin as early as the summer of 2014, Ms. McLagan said.
Mr. Dailey said he is going to recommend the town use some of the $125,000 it received for the sale of a 23.1 acre plot of land at Sparrow Hawk Point in September to pay for the project.

MASSENA - While it is customary for winter storms to close schools, the storm that hit the north country Thursday night and continued through the day Friday also closed government offices, libraries and more.
In Potsdam, while the town office remained open, the village office closed shortly after 1 p.m., with the library being closed all day.
Library Director Pat Musante said she attempted to make it to the library this morning, but with the road condition, she turned around and headed back home.
I tried, she said, adding there is also a bug circulating among library staff that has left them short-staffed over the past few days.
In Massena, both town and village offices closed at noon, with the public library there also closing at noon.
The list of school closings included all 18 districts in the St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES district, as well as Salmon River Central School, WIC offices in Canton and Massena, Head Start programs from around the county and even two of the countys colleges with SUNY Canton closing for the day and SUNY Potsdam closing at 3 p.m.
Parishville-Hopkinton Superintendent Darin P. Saiff said Thursdays storm was the first time this school year that his district has used a snow day.
I usually speak with our head of transportation who works with each of the towns road supervisors, Mr. Saiff said. This morning though was a little bit different, because we had a winter storm warning versus a storm watch and with the magnitude of it, it made sense to close down.
Mr. Saiff said his concern wasnt necessarily the amount of snow that had fallen, but the combination of snow and wind, which often makes for dangerous driving conditions.
We were concerned mostly with drifts and visibility, he said. The towns and state do a great job of keeping the roads clean, but with a storm like this its hard to keep up.
Potsdam Highway Superintendent John A. Keleher his crews began work early Friday morning.
We came in at 3:30 this morning and there was roughly two to three inches on the ground, he said, adding that as of 12:30 p.m. his crews were making their third our fourth trip around town.
This storm is a little different from the last one, he said. You can actually see.
Mr. Keleher said the town had seven plows on the road, plus a pickup.
There hasnt been any one time where there was more than a couple inches on the roads, he said. Our next challenge will likely come on Monday when it warms up and we get some rain or freezing rain.
Massena Public Works Superintendent Hassan A. Fayad said hes got crews working 24 hours a day, noting his crews began attacking the storm at 5 a.m.
Were keeping up with it, he said. Weve got it under control.
Mr. Fayad said for his crews, navigating the streets in a village is made difficult by the amount of traffic theyre forced to deal with.
We have these trucks with plows on them and with cars parked on the street and oncoming traffic, its difficult to maneuver them with cars parked on the street.
Morristown Highway Superintendent Michael L. Bogart said, Everything has been plowed about three or four times [Friday]. He expected to be out again throughout the night and into Saturday.
Its just a constant plow, plow, plow, Mr. Bogart said.
Ogdensburg Director of Public Works Kit W. Smith said in the city theyre attacking the storm with a fleet of 12 plows that went out last Thursday night will be out around the clock until the storm in over and everything is cleaned up.
Theyll be running about 12-hour shifts around the clock until everything is cleaned up, and it will get cleaned up so long as we keep up with it, he said.
It is what we expected, Ogdensburg Director of Public Works Kit W. Smith said Friday. Its no more than the usual north country storm, we just havent had one in the past couple of years.
Mr. Smith also asks the public to be diligent and watch out for plows, while also using caution even though the roads may appear to be clear.
Even though the roads are clear, it can lull drivers into a false sense of security, per say, he said. The high winds can create a hazard. Even if we keep the plows out and 80 percent of the road is clear the wind gusts can send the snow drifts across the road.
One motorist not worried about the conditions was Doug Kerr of Louisville, who was out shopping at Price Chopper with his wife Friday afternoon.
Seeing how the storm wasnt as bad as it was made out to be, we decided to come out and stock up, he said. When you live in the north country, even the worst storms are mild compared to what we got in the past.
Mr. Kerr said he was originally planning to go shopping on Thursday, but that didnt happen.
We were going to come out last night before the storm hit, but then we got lazy and decided to stay home, he said.
Peter Banacos, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Burlington, Vt. said that as of late Friday afternoon 6.5 inches of snow had fallen in Ogdensburg, with seven inches reported in Malone. Mr. Banacos said no snowfall totals were available for Massena or Potsdam.
He did say, however, that residents in St. Lawrence County could expect the storm to subside early Saturday morning, likely around daybreak, he said.

Mary-Kate Olsen and Olivier Sarkozy aren't ashamed of their relationship!
Though the two are separated by 17 years, 26-year-old Olsen and 43-year-old Sarkozy love showing some PDA every time they go to a basketball game together.
And they see a lot of games!
The two were spotted courtside at the New York Knights game at Madison Square Garden on Sunday night, where they once again got cuddly for the cameras.
We wonder if the caught any of the game between all their hand holding, forehead kissing and snuggling.
This PDA-packed sighting is only the latest in a long string of romantic moments for the couple -- check out some of their creepier kisses above.

A new chapter.
In the midst of the seas there was a great void. It was a time of deep darkness, before the crustacean or the first fish. Into this Amphibious void came the Giant Octopi known as FSM. With his eight tentacles, enormous testicles and all seeing eyez he created the Cephalopods known as Octopi and Squid.
The oceans were colorless at that time so he squirted his great inkiness into this domain. The shallow seas were churned by the gods of the air and the coloration was blue. As the remainder of his inkiness settled downward the ocean became ever darker and the creatures of the land could not penetrate those great depths The FSM gave the care of the sea that surrounded him to his minions and they can be found guarding the oceans under the boulders he had deposited for them to live under.
FSM filled the seas with living things: diatoms and krill to feed new swimming creatures of every sort. He even created squid and penguins that would dine upon the multitude. He created sharks, turtles and whales. Some of these even ventured upon the land. His angels the flying squid could even fly.
To the coastal regions he created Kelp and in this sub domain of great forests would be the sea anemone, crab, starfish and non-gilled animals like the seal. On the fifth day he was satisfied, and sank to the deep abyss of his deep Pacific ocean. So centered near Hawaii, his tentacles reached from East to West and North to South, breathing life into the Pacific Rim with every quiver of his body.
Soon creatures (he had not breathed his soul into would begin to intrude. From their land, they would sail upon his domain and harvest the Whale and .Octopus. Even his archangel the Giant Squid or Kraken could not end this plague on the oceans. This would make him furious and he would stretch his limbs and pull on these tectonic hinges causing, fire, eruptions, quakes and tsunamis to cull out those he had not created. In his greatest anger he flooded the pustules of land and thought it was it was good.
It did not work and even today he battles against the angel who had ascended to rule lands he could not convert.

Having finished setting up the basic shape of the world, I'm trying to figure out how to place the world's tectonic plates.
Knowing very little about geography, I have no idea how to arrange the plates in a somewhat believable manner (I've attached what I've tried so far). While I'm not looking for 100% realism, I'm still interested in having the map make some form of geographic sense (I'm also planning to use the plates to help determine volcanic and seismic regions, weather patterns, and general temperatures).
The plates ought to be arranged to permit the existence of the desert and mountain chain already illustrated on the map. I don't mind changing certain aspects of the landmass as long as the two previous characteristics can be maintained.
If anyone could tell me ways to arrange the plates (including their general movement), I would be most thankful. Once I get the plates set up, I'll be able to start fleshing out my map. At the same time, I welcome any advice/criticism on the world's current shape. I would also be interested to know what could be some expected effects of the map's current arrangement on the world's weather and temperature.
Feel free to doodle on the maps I've attached.

Map with Basic Plates
PS: The world I'm working on is supposed to roughly share the same characteristics as those of earth (eg: similar size, one moon, ect...)

Two women who are working to improve their lives and the community were awarded $500 scholarships by Soroptimist International of Price on April 17.
Colette Marx of Price was chosen from a number of candidates to receive the Soroptimist Women's Opportunity Awards Scholarship. The Women's Opportunity Program is a cornerstone of Soroptimist of the America's Organization to honor women who are heads of households and working to better their lives and that of their families through continuing education.
Marx has returned to school for a degree in accounting. Her husband Mike was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and she has had to step up to be the breadwinner. The family has four school age boys.
Her application was sent on to the Soroptimist Rocky Mountain Region and she was awarded $1,500 in scholarship money.
Marx took part in Phi Beta Lambda Leadership competition recently in Cedar City and won first a first in accounting principles and a first in business communications. Marx qualified to compete at the National PBL Competition in Anaheim, Calif., this summer.
The other scholarship awarded on Wednesday night was for the Violet Richardson honor. This recognizes the volunteer work in the community by a young women who is 14-17 years old. Again there were many good candidates for the club to chose from.
Grand County High School student Sarah Stalpes was the recipient, based on her extensive volunteerism in the grand county area. She has helped establish Anti-bullying presentations, is on the Grand County Library Board, is instrumental in recycling efforts among many other things. Staples was given the chance to apply for the scholarship through her participation on the USU Eastern Upward Bound Program.
She is going to participate as a sterling scholar next year. She plans on going to either U of U or USU. Her life goal is to become a physician specializing in pediatrics.

Mobile devices have revolutionized the way we access information. Long gone are the days when we had to wait for the next newspaper issue or magazine edition, now we can find out what's happening anytime from anywhere.
Everyone I know has a smartphone, and at least half of those people have a tablet or netbook too. In fact, research has shown that one out of every five American adults plans to own a tablet by 2014.
Mobile devices give us instant access to a wide range of entertainment options and a wide range of tools that help to make our daily lives easier. We use them to keep up on the news and weather, to monitor business trends and stock prices, to balance our bank accounts and to do our shopping. We're even using them at work, or away from work, so we can get the job done.
Now that we're spending so much time finding and reading content online using mobile devices, a lot of people are wondering, is this truly the end of print publishing?
It turns out; these two mediums actually play very nicely together. A study conducted by GfK MRI concludes that instead of abandoning print media, people who use e-readers and tablets are likely to use print media too.
In his blog post, Study Says Tablet, E-Reader Users Haven't Given Up Print, which uses data pulled from the GfK MRI study, Matt Kinsman explains how "tablet owners are 66% more likely than the average U.S. adult to be heavy users of printed versions of magazines, while e-reader owners are 23% more likely to be heavy print users."
And, based on another recent survey, this one released by FTI Consulting, Inc., Stefanie Botelho tells us that despite the current rate of user engagement with digital magazine content, just 38.4%, there is a "huge level of opportunity for magazine publishers in the digital sector."
Enter the interactive periodical, an electronic medium that incorporates video, optimized layouts and navigation, interactive features and enhanced content for a print-plus experience.
The global consulting firm Oliver Wyman conducted a study on behalf of Next Issue Media to assess the consumer demand for interactive periodicals. In the study, they surveyed 1,800 U.S consumers, across more than 200 periodical titles. The findings tell us that consumers are willing to pay for interactive periodicals, and that many of them believe that print and interactive periodical formats complement each other.
Instead of a battle royale for ultimate market supremacy, we're seeing a sly integration between mobile and print media.
Action codes, such as Tag, offer consumers a fast and easy way to transform their print experience into an electronic one. And we're starting to see Tags popping up everywhere.
Flip through a publication like Woman's Day or People and you'll find Tags that take you to content like videos, micro sites, sweepstakes or contest entry forms, coupons, and online storefronts. Tag gives publishers and consumers a free service that makes their mobile media experience more flexible and engaging.
Based on the available research, it's easy to conclude that the combination of mobile devices and print media can, and probably will, lead to revenue growth for the print industry. Do you agree? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

We're beginning to see a growing trend in mobile devices. These days, more so than ever, device makers are offering up gadgets that don't squarely fit the mould of phone, tablet or PC. Phablets are but one example, and the recent Samsung ATIV Smart PC is another. As a result, mobile accessories makers are having to think outside the box, with cases, skins and other accessories that are just as unique as the devices themselves.
In the case of Sasung's ATIV Smart PC, writes Slash Gear "you've got a tablet that's not meant to be as thin or mobile, instead concentrating on the idea that you're going to be working with a backpack or a large carrying case to get this unit around, noting that it's a large tablet first, and mobile second."
And today's mobile accessory of the week gets that spot on. With q hybrid design that blends a plextonium inner hard shell and outer silicone skin, it offers the protection you'd expect from any good tablet case.
But since it's designed for a device that's not necessarily very portable, or not mobile in the strictest sense, it also boasts design features that address that fact. For instance, an integrated padded hand strap on the back of the case makes it easy to view content, or to simply move your ATIV Smart PC from room to room, the way you would an ordinary tablet.
So far, Incipio's Capture Rugged Case is one of the best examples we've seen of an accessory that's as unique as the gadget it's designed for. Without a doubt, Samsung will continue its foray into phablets, large tablets and other devices that blur the lines of product category. And we can only hope that Incipio will be right there to offer up carrying cases and accessories for these new breeds of phones and tablets.

FORT DRUM The post and Department of Defense on Friday confirmed the deaths of two officers in Afghanistan earlier this week.
The Department of Defense notice said Capt. Aaron R. Blanchard, 32, of Selah, Wash., and 1st Lt. Robert J. Hess, 26, of Fairfax, Va., died Tuesday in Pul-e Alam, Afghanistan, of wounds suffered from enemy indirect fire.
Capt. Blanchards mother told the Yakima Herald-Republic that she was told they were killed by missile fire, and that her son had been in Afghanistan less than a week when he was killed.
The two served in the 2nd Aviation Battalion, 10th Combat Aviation Brigade, 10th Mountain Division.
Capt. Blanchard, an Apache helicopter pilot, leaves a wife and two young children in New York state and his parents and brothers in Washington.
According to a press release from the post, Capt. Blanchard joined the Marine Corps in January 2000, and deployed to Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom from January to September 2003.
After separating from the Marine Corps and completing a ROTC program, Capt. Blanchard was commissioned into the Army in June 2009. He completed pilot training at Fort Rucker, Ala., and arrived at Fort Drum in September 2011. He deployed with his unit to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom in April 2013.
Capt. Blanchard graduated from Selah High School in 1999.
His awards include the Purple Heart, the NATO Medal and the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, along with several Army aviation and Marine commendations.
Lt. Hess was a Black Hawk helicopter pilot who joined the Army in 2010, and arrived at Fort Drum in November after completing flight training at Fort Rucker.
Among his previous honors were the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star and the NATO medal.
He is survived by his mother, father and brother.
Capt. Blanchards and Lt. Hesss deaths in combat are the first for the division in 2013. The divisions last combat deaths occurred in July.
Col. David J. Francis, the 10th Combat Aviation Brigades commander, said in a note published on the brigades Facebook page that the two officers displayed courage and strength each day to face the challenges and risks of military service in combat.
The loss of these two leaders is profound; but we stand together, resilient, and with the strong resolve to continue the mission and honor their lives, Col. Francis said. Let us follow their example of bravery and courage as we continue to move our formations into theater to support the people of Afghanistan.
Col. Franciss note can be found at http://on.fb.me/14WO8Ef.
In a press release issued Friday afternoon, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo called for flags on state government buildings to be flown at half-staff on Tuesday to honor the two soldiers.

Can you identify the Code violation(s) in this photo?
The violation is actually of article 408.41, "Each grounded conductor shall terminate within the panelboard in an individual terminal that is not also used for another conductor". Connecting multiple grounding conductors at a single lug can contribute to loose grounding connections among other things.
NEC 250.8(a), 110-3(b) grounding connector is listed for specific size only
I doubt this device (the lug) is identified and listed for multiple conductors per Article 100.
"Identified (as applied to equipment). Recognizable as suitable for the specific purpose, function, use, environment, application, and so forth, where described in a particular Code requirement.
Informational Note: Some examples of ways to determine suitability of equipment for a specific purpose, environment, or application include investigations by a qualified testing laboratory (listing and labeling), an inspection agency, or other organizations
concerned with product evaluation."

The Andean condor, one of the largest birds in the world in the world, is the official symbol of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. On wings that span up to 10 feet, the birds range throughout the Andes Mountains, Patagonia, and the coastal regions of western South America, in habitats including high peaks, lowland deserts, and grassy plains. They roost on high rock ledges, where updrafts are strong enough to lift their heavy bodies.
Andean condors are scavengers that are well-equipped for the job, with hooked beaks to aid in tearing flesh from large carcasses, a high resistance to bacterial infections, and bald heads that promote hygiene. They may travel up to 150 miles a day in search of carrion, which they locate primarily by sight. Once condors reach high altitudes, they ride on thermal currents and seldom flap their wings.
The birds are a source of national pride across South America and play a prominent role in folklore and cultural mythology. They have been represented in Andean art since 2500 BC. The Incas believed the condor brought the sun into the sky every morning and was a messenger to the gods.
Andean condors are both revered and feared, and, despite their symbolic role in South American cultures, are often treated as human competitors. As a result of habitat loss, mortality resulting from preying on poisoned carcasses, collision with power lines, and hunting by people who believe the birds attack livestock, they are declining in numbers, especially in the northern part of their range. In Patagonia, their area of distribution has decreased dramatically in the last hundred years. The IUCN lists Andean condors as near threatened.
Working with the government of Chile, WCS helped establish the Karukinka reserve to protect habitats in the country's Patagonia region, including the domain of the Andean condor. WCS conservationists also protect the condor's habitat in the Andean Patagonia Steppe landscape of Argentina, working alongside provincial governments to manage reserves, helping livestock herders reduce their impacts on the land, and partnering with oil and mining companies to ensure that their operations take wildlife needs into account.
Since the early 1990s, WCS has worked to help local Bolivian communities practice sustainable natural resource management in the country''s Madidit-Tambopata landscape, a 42,500-square mile stronghold for condors as well as populations of jaguars, Andean bears, and giant otters. Here, WCS scientists monitor the wildlife populations and are working to develop transboundary conservation plans that encompass the landscape's borders in northern Bolivia and southern Peru. WCS is also helping educate the rural communities of Madidi about the lack of condor menace to livestock and to develop cost-effective conservation tools that prevent or minimize human-wildlife conflicts.
Bolivia's Madidi-Tambopata landscape has a wide range of altitudes as well as a high diversity of ecosystems and peoples. WCS works to conserve its cultural and biological heritage via initiatives that improve land-use and livelihoods.

Friday, June 01, 2012
By Malini Wilkes
Patsy Scheiderer knew she was marrying a soldier, but she pushed aside any thought of her husband ever being wounded in combat.
"You just think it won't happen to us," she explained.
But it did happen to them. Not once, but twice.
In 2009, Army Spc. Daniel Scheiderer broke his back and neck during his first deployment to Afghanistan. He returned to the battlefield in 2011 and within a month, an explosion shattered his foot, leaving him with extensive nerve damage. A year later, he's just starting to walk and is battling post traumatic stress (PTS).
"It's just dealing with a whole different person every day," Patsy said. "One day he'll be okay, the next day he'll be angry, the next day he'll be depressed."
The 22-year-old wife and mother of two was among nearly 100 spouses, partners, parents and others attending the third USO Caregivers Conference in San Antonio this week.
The program offered advice and information on stress management, parenting, military benefits and improving communication with a wounded, ill or injured service member.
The most helpful tip that Patsy learned was that it's okay for caregivers to take a break.
"A lot of times if I do take a break, I feel that I'm not being fully attentive, that I'm failing," she said. "And I've learned here that it's completely fine."
Leticia Jackson, 47, came to the conference, looking for any tidbit of information to help her care for her husband Anthony. He was driving from Arizona to Texas in 2005 when a drunk driver smashed into his car. He became a quadriplegic nine days before he was scheduled to retire from the military.
At the time, Leticia struggled to deal with the news. "Where do we go from here?" she asked herself repeatedly. "Our lives weren't supposed to end this way. This was supposed to happen during war, not after the end of the journey."
Seven years later, Leticia is trying to get her husband to agree to counseling and she's still learning to cope with the drastic change in their relationship.
"I'm taking home a little bit of everything that I heard today and applying it to our lives," she said. "One of the things I appreciate is that, in 2005, we didn't have all this support. We were just at the beginning of the war. "
When Krissy Banegas met her husband Joey, he had already lost a leg in Afghanistan and was three years into recovery. Though she willingly stepped into the caregiver role, she sometimes finds the responsibility overwhelming.
"It's hard. It's harder than what I thought it would be like in the beginning," she said.
Joey has had problems with his prosthetic fittings, so he is on crutches, making it difficult to help with daily chores.
"She has to do a lot more of the stuff that I wish I could do. Household stuff, even mowing the lawn," he explained.
Krissy, 28, does all the cooking and cleaning after she gets home from her full-time job as a phlebotomist. Meantime, Joey, 32, is adjusting to becoming a full-time dad to their two kids, ages six and three.
"I'm going from an infantryman in Afghanistan to taking care of children," he said. "I joke and tell my friends that staying at home is a lot harder than being an infantryman sometimes."
The couple came away from the conference pledging to work harder on communication. To listen to each other and their children, to avoid blaming each other and to be thankful for their blessings.
"It's a lot easier to notice the things that are wrong than to realize what you have," Joey said. "It's a lot easier to give up than push through it."

Solid Waste in New England
Construction and Demolition (C&D) Debris: Case Studies from New England
Reuse in New England
Promoting reuse over traditional solid waste disposal of materials, the Guide can be used by businesses, institutions, and governments who deal with off-spec production or asset management, and others who are seeking or need to dispose of items that still may have "use." Find listings for donating used goods or unwanted materials - including those associated with construction - throughout New England. More»
Case studies provide a way to share information on how C&D waste can be reduced and managed.
The Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MA DEP) developed a series of case studies to highlight techniques for saving money and protecting the environment through the reuse and recycling of C&D debris. They include a wide range of projects:
- City Hall Annex, Cambridge, MA
- Douglas School, Douglas, MA
- Milford Fire Station, Milford, MA
- St. Paul's Cathedral, Worcester, MA
- Clarke Corporation, Milford, MA
- MIT Media Lab, Cambridge, MA
These case studies are available on the MA DEP C&D debris Web site.
The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Construction Waste Reduction Program has developed several job-site case studies:
- Deconstruction -- Birdseye Building Company, Project Location: Charlotte, VT (2002) -- Deconstruction of a single family home.
- Renovation/New Construction -- Mary Meyers Corporation, Project Location: Townshend, VT (2002) -- Remodeling and new construction of the corporate office.
- Salvage/Renovation -- Engelberth Construction Corporation, Project Location: Barre, VT (2001) -- Renovation of the former Barre City hospital, the McFarland House.
- New Construction -- Pizzagalli Construction Company, Project Location: Champlain College, Burlington, VT (1997-1998) --Construction of a campus library.
- New Construction -- Bread Loaf Corporation, Project Location: Middlebury College, Middlebury, VT (2002) -- Construction of a campus recycling facility.
These case studies are available on the Vermont .

There's been a lot of talk in the press lately about how one activist organization, the Parents Television Council, is trying to dictate television standards for the rest of the country by encouraging its members to file complaints with the FCC. It seems that the press believes that the hundreds of thousands of complaints filed by outraged citizens over the rampant raunch on television somehow doesn't count simply because the complainants belongs to an organized group.
If the networks put an FCC complaint form on their website or if they flashed the FCC's phone number across the screen between shows there would be a flood of complaints.
But the number of complaints filed, and where they're coming from shouldn't matter. Whether we're talking about one complaint or one million, it all boils down to one issue. Are networks breaking the law by showing indecent content and will the FCC do its job to enforce the indecency law?

Cougars and bears on Ridgeline Trail: 'I actually ran with a stick'
EUGENE, Ore. - On a solo run along the Ridgeline Trail, Kirsten Bartlett recalls seeing a sign that a cougar had been seen in the area a day earlier.
"I actually ran with a big stick," Bartlett told KVAL News on Tuesday. "I've heard you can throw them and it scares the cougars."
More permanent signs now warn trail users that both cougars and bears may be active on the Ridgeline Trail. The signs, in both English and Spanish, also offer tips on what to do if you encounter a cougar or bear.
Trail users are also asked to report all sightings to the City of Eugene at (541) 682-4800 or the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife at (541) 726-3515.
"My friends might think I'm just paranoid, but there are a lot of cougar sightings," said Bartlett, who was headed down the Amazon Headwaters trail segment between Fox Hollow Road and Martins Way with Christie Hanson.
"I'd like to think my dog would sacrifice herself for me," Hanson said.
At the west end of the trail system on Blanton Road, Phil Siemens said he isn't worried.
"That cougar's been here for years," he said. It takes deer. You see the carcasses. That's it.
"They know better than to show themselves," Siemens added.
As for bears, he doesn't see any cause for alarm.
"Aren't there bears everywhere?"

NEWPORT CITY – During Monday's City Council meeting, officials from the Agency of Transportation presented the framework for what exactly will happen during the reconstruction of the Long Bridge.
The council also approved lifting the noise ordinance while the state paves US Route 5 from the Airport Road to Coventry Street so that crews may pave at night to reduce traffic tie-ups. Part of the paving project includes roads intended for the detoured traffic blocked from using the Long Bridge. Â
The bridge reconstruction has been in the works for 15 years, Project Manager Carolyn Carlson said. Construction will begin sometime in early 2012. The project will finish in 2013. Carlson estimated the cost of the project to be $6.5 million.Â
"It's not a cheap project," she said. "It's a fairly large project. There's a lot of stuff going into this structure."
There may not be a lot of work for contractors next year, so bids may come in lower, which would reduce the cost, Carlson said.
The state restricts when construction crews can be in the water. According to Carlson, the contractor can work in the water between December and March and then from late May to October.Â
Originally, the city was going to take care of the traffic detour signs, but after talking to City Manager John Ward, the state agreed to take care of them. Carlson said she realizes the detour will create some traffic problems during the paving project.
Ward said there is some concern that traffic won't be able to get to Bond Auto and Poulin Grain. Carlson assured the council that the contractor has to allow access to businesses, but at times access will be an issue.
"We know it will be an inconvenience, it will be a struggle, but I think if we all work together, once we have a contractor on board, the drive and parking should work out," said Carlson. "That's the best I can do. There's just limited space."
Ward the city won't be able to solve the traffic problems that sometimes occur, especially on Friday nights. However, Carlson said people would figure other ways to get to Newport. For example, instead of taking Interstate-91, drivers could take the back roads.Â
Carlson's response did not please Brian McNeal who lives on Mount Vernon Street. He said the city would not pay for his gas or time for him to make his way around the construction area.
"They don't care about the taxpayers in this town," said McNeal, who added that many of the Mount Vernon residents pay some of the highest tax rates.
Trish Sears, executive director of the Newport Renaissance Corporation, questioned if there would be signs on Coventry Street alerting traffic, particularly trucks, that the bridge is closed.Â
Carlson said it doesn't matter if truck drivers know the bridge is closed because they aren't supposed to use the Long Bridge.
"There shouldn't be much of anything on that bridge," said Carlson, who acknowledged that she is aware that trucks from Poulin Grain do use it. But, according to Sears, they aren't the only truck drivers that use it.
"They're not obeying the rules. That's where Newport City is supposed to have their police officers stopping them," Carlson said.
Carlson estimated the bridge would last about 200 years, which pleased Mayor Paul Monette who said, "Good! I'll be long gone." However, Carlson warned that the only way it will last that long is if the city maintains it; this includes washing away road salt in the spring.
Carlson said the existing bridge was built in the mid to late 1940s. "It hasn't lived as long as some of our other bridges have, but there are other issues there. When all is said and done, you will have a beautiful bridge. It will make the Causeway Bridge look pretty ugly."
I'm glad that this bridge construction is already planned. That would be a much beneficial especially to travelers and commuters. Transportation would now be more easier in the place. Just be sure to hire construction firms with quality assurance certification in them. Safety if the number one important thing in this matter.

According to Sheriff James Cordova, deputy Tory Christiansen stopped Fox on Carbonville Road at about 700 North. When the deputy left his car to approach Fox's vehicle, Fox sped away to the south.
Christiansen immediately gave chase. Fox turned east on 100 North and drove into the subdivision. His right front tire went flat and disintegrated, ending the chase.

6 Miles Round Trip – Average Difficulty
Starts at the end of Hurricane Creek Road
This is one of my favorite trails in the Wallowa wilderness area. It has nice waterfalls, nice views and many alternatives for exploration. It is less than 10 miles from the Wallowa Lake Resort Office.
The trail starts at first by working its way through the forest. At ½ mile there is a side trip on the right with a sign that says "Falls Creek". This side trail goes ½ mile off the main trail and leads to a 100 foot waterfall. After the waterfall this trail continues to Legore Lake, the Sawtooth Ridge and Twin Peaks. If you decide not to take the steep trail to Legore Lake just come back to the main trail, after viewing the waterfall.
Shortly after Falls Creek turn off you will come to the crossing at Falls Creek. In low water this is an easy crossing. Otherwise look for a log to cross or wade it. The trail works its way up through the trees again providing nice views of the stream below. At 2 miles the trail will open up into a large meadow with views of the Hurricane Divide, the back of Joseph Mountain, and the face of Sacagawea Peak. In this meadow look for the waterfall that comes out of a basin to the right. This waterfall or the polished rock above the falls makes a nice side trip.
After crossing the open meadow the trail will enter forest again. Soon you will notice trails that go off to the left. These trails lead to nice camp sites along the Hurricane. The last trail on the left leads to a large camp site and the trail that leads up the Thorp Creek Basin. This is another great side trip since it leads to a large basin at the face of Sacagawea. There are several great camp sites in this basin and opportunities to view mountain goats which are very common. If you decide not to journey up Thorp Creek Basin, continue up the Hurricane Trail.
At 3 miles the trail will enter an avalanche area. The trail does three switchbacks up a side slope crossing downed trees and debris. The avalanche occurred during the winter of 2009. It came down Slick Rock Gorge filling the valley that you see to the left. The flow filled the gorge and went up the other side of the stream. Note the trees pushed over on the other side of the gorge. We hiked this May 2009 and the entire gorge was filled with debris. Though longtime local tell me this is a very common avalanche area. After taking the switchbacks and climbing over a few trees you cross a side hill with view of the gorge below. BE CAREFUL A SLIP HERE COULD BE FATAL.
Soon you will arrive at a location with a waterfall above you and the gorge below you. This is where most people have a nice lunch and turn around and go back as they came. Other options include climbing up the ridge to the right of Slick Rock Falls or continuing on to the Echo Lake Turn off.

After winning their region golf match at Emery's Millsite golf course last week, Carbon's youth golfers came home to compete in the first annual Roy Nikas/Price Insurance Junior Tournament.
The event at the Carbon Country Club was a major success, according to Carbon Head Pro Tom King.
"There was a rather small field but all players had a great time and great bacon cheeseburger at the snack bar," quipped King.
The winning golfers in the 14 and under bracket are:
First - Kody Quarnberg with a score of 86.
Second - Robbie Etzel with a core of 96.
Third - Mike Jensen with a core of 120.
In the 15 and older bracket:
Corbin Black took first with a score of 76.
Justin Child took second with a score of 82.
And Geoff Vogel brought home third with a 84.
Additionally, last with there was a hole in one at the course. According to King, it was made Sean Burt on hole number six from the white tees at 145 yards and witnessed by Terry Gleave.
