|Gene Kornblum
St. Louis Music started out in the 1920's as a music store and a publisher of sheet music. Over time, the business grew and they started selling their own line of imported instruments.
Gene Kornblum, impressed with the display crates, wondered if a crate could be used to house a guitar amplifier. That is how Crate Amplifiers came into being.
Crate CR-1, introduced in 1978, was housed in a bare wooden crate. It just made common sense to call this, "The Crate Amplifier." The amp was marketed as a practice amplifier. It was only 10 solid-state watts, but came with a 12" speaker that gave it a rich full sound. As a plus, it was manufactured in the USA.
Crate Amplifiers to warrant enlarging their existing business and manufacturing capabilities. Within a few years, the wooden crate housing look was left behind in favor of traditional tolex covering. A whole range of Crate solid-state amplifiers was being offered.
tube-based models that became popular. St. Louis music eventually took on some other amplifier lines other than Crate, which included Vox and Ampeg.
wooden Crate model.
The original 10-watt solid-state amp featured Gain, Treble, Bass, Master Volume controls with 2 inputs all going into a 4 ohm, 12-inch speaker. The rear of the amp featured a lineout jack. Everything was housed in a simple pine cabinet.

Do I NEED to speak from day one?
This is topic widely discussed and disagreed upon in the language learning community. One of biggest advocates of speaking immediately is Benny Lewis, author of the Fluent in 3 Months blog and creator of the Speak From Day 1 video course.
In the FAQ for that product, he writes: (some emphasis added)
Rather than read through the guide and watch all the videos to find out my one major 'secret', I can tell you right now: you need to speak the language immediately.
No years of studying grammar, no expensive and complicated software, no "magic pill" to master a language while you sleep, you just need to speak it. Speak it regularly, speak it confidently, and speak it immediately. The more you speak, the quicker you will improve.
Now, I'm a BIG fan of Benny. He recently gave me the amazing opportunity to write a guest post on his blog.
But in this particular point, I disagree. I don't think you NEED to speak from day one.
Read more to find out why!
Language learning guide?
I receive a lot of emails and comments asking me for advice on language learning. I respond to all of them, so when I notice that I've answered the same question a lot, I try to write an article about it on my blog.
That way, when someone asks me that question again, I can point them to a well-polished article, instead of having to come up with a completely new explanation in the 5 minutes I have to respond to their email.
The article I wrote a couple weeks ago about the importance of listening is one example. However, I got some really great questions in the comments which helped me realize that I left out a very important piece: how to listen, when you don't yet speak the language very well.
Eventually, this will end up becoming a new article.
But wouldn't it be great if I could just have a page somewhere that includes all of my thoughts about listening? As new questions or ideas come up, I could continue to refine it.
This got me thinking that maybe I should be compiling a language learning guide, that covers my opinions about how to learn a language effectively, lots of tips, and the basics of my method.
Read more for my thoughts and let me know what you think!
How long does it take to learn a foreign language?
I receive a lot of emails asking for advice on how to learn a language fast.
But how fast is fast? Two years? One year? 90 days? There are even products that claim they allow you to learn a language in just 30 days.
So, how long does it really take to learn a language?
Read more for my opinion!
Immersion tips: How to meet natives
We've all heard stories about someone going to a foreign country for a year and coming back able to speak the language "fluently." (I don't like that word, read this article to find out why.)
But immersion in a foreign country doesn't mean you'll automatically learn the language!
I've heard many more complaints from people living abroad who, despite being surrounded by the language everyday, don't seem to learn it. One problem is that they end up speaking their native language most of the time, rather than meeting new people and engaging them in real conversation in the language they are learning.
So, how can you meet new people in a foreign country and get the most out of your immersion experience? Read more for tips!

Rare $0.75/1 Earthbound Farm Organic Coupon = Possibly FREE Carrots at Walmart
This Hip2Save.com Deal was hand-posted on Tuesday, January 15th, 2013 at 10:54 am.
Yay! I LOVE when fresh produce coupons like this pop up! Just head on over here and register or sign in to print this $0.75/1 Earthbound Farm Organic coupon! You can then use this coupon to snag a great deal on carrots at your local Walmart….
Earthbound Farm bagged carrots priced around $1.12-$1.48
Use the $0.75/1 coupon found here
Final cost as low as $0.37 each!
((Thanks, and Photo Credit: The Wally World Woman & Midwest Coupon Clippers!)
28 Hip Readers Commented
says sorry this offer is no longer available
just got it
The stores that sell Shurefine have these for .69 cents.
My CT Price Chopper has the mini carrots on sale for $1.99/bag. They will double coupons, so for $.49/bag, I will enjoy my carrots!
Thanks !
Tried to print it and then saw that it required JAVA and after what I heard about all the problems with JAVA recently and hackers I didn't want a virus.
I was unable to print it either. :(
Same here Steph- my husband took Java off last week
I have java and I still go the error message about not having Java; and worse, I just ran the update. So confusing! Will wait for my IT hubby to get home and verify, although I heard from a friend this weekend about this site and the coupons are legit. He gets 2 bags of carrots weekly from our local grocerier so I am hoping I can get it up and running…
Finally got it to work on our new computer…guess all the other ones Java is out of date? I find especially depending on the browser I get those error messages. If you do not do the Java updates, that's when you are susceptible to hackers the most, but then again, hackers will find a way no matter what =(
So…how is this possibly free??? lol
I don't know why she didn't have it posted, but many Walmart stores have their bags of regular carrots for $.74, which means free after this coupon. I can get 2 free bags of carrots each week by printing the coupons off of their website! :)
These .75 coupon for Earthbound Farms come up once a week. The coupons themselves NEVER specify a certain product – just .75 off any Earthbound Farms produce. I use them every week for carrots, green onions, clamshells of greens, etc. Just FYI!
Thank you for telling me. How can I print each week? Via website?
Yep. It's always one of their "steps." Not in the year I've been printing these coupons have they specified a particular kind of produce, just something from their brand!
Thanks for directing here! I always buy Earthbound Farms – and this coupon lets you print lots of times (I didn't see anything not allowing that on the coupon – it just says "limit 1 coupon per purchase"). We go thru carrots and spinach like water in our house so this will help. I'll make sure to check their site more often!
Once you sign up w/ them, they usually send daily emails & 1 of them tells you they have a new coupon available. That's how I always remember to print them out.
My Walmart has these carrots for only $.88 – I get them weekly for only $.13. w/ the coupon.
I just printed :) thank you!
Does Kroger also carry these?
Free carrots @ Shaw's (Mass.) also. Although the coupon says do no double, both Price Chopper and Shaw's here do. I use these every week for salad greens.
couldnt get one either a box kept coming up saying warning not secure do you want to run this app yikes dont know what it is but hope i not get that virus.
I tried to print it in 3 different browsers, but they all said it was taking too long and to try another browser. Weird, I've never had that happen before.
Yep, I'm not printing any more coupons that require Java. My antivirus won't let me, and I'm just not taking that chance.
Worked on my desktop!!! thx printed 2 but it's the same coupon so I will toss the other one. Anyone else have this happen??
These coupons are always beepers for me at Meijer. Anyone else have problems at other stores??
Press ctrl and print at the same time if you are having trouble with your computer :)

COLORADO SPRINGS — The Colorado Springs City Council is looking at competing proposals to deal with stormwater control.
The action is important to Pueblo because of agreements related to Pueblo County's 1041 permit for Southern Delivery System and the need to reduce flooding on Fountain Creek.
Pueblo County officials have asked Colorado Springs to show how stormwater control will be funded since council abolished the city's stormwater enterprise in 2009.
A study in February by CH2MHill found 282 projects totaling $687 million in Colorado Springs, and 268 projects totaling $102 million in areas outside of Colorado Springs in the Fountain Creek watershed.

Ernest Davis Yann LeCun Mehryar Mohri Foster Provost David Sontag
Machine learning is concerned with developing of mathematical foundations and algorithm design needed for computers to learn, that is, to adapt their responses based on information extracted from data. For example, learning algorithms may allow a robot to navigate an unknown environment, improving its performance as it acquires more and more data, or a voice-controlled system to improve its recognition of a person's speech after analysis of a sufficient number of samples. Machine learning techniques draw on many fundamental areas from statistics to theoretical computer science, and are used in a broad variety applications: robotics, speech analysis, finance, computer games, handwriting recognition to name just a few.
Ernest Davis studies the problem of representing commonsense knowledge: that is, the problem of taking the basic knowledge about the real world that is common to all humans; expressing it in a form that is systematic enough to be used by a computer program; and providing the program with techniques for effectively using that knowledge. The primary focus of his work is on spatial and physical reasoning (for example, a formalization of commonsense physical reasoning must capture our intuition about qualitative object behavior under gravity). Other directions of work include reasoning about knowledge, belief, plans, and goals, and their interaction with physical reasoning. Development of formal representations of this type has many potential applications in robotics, product and process design and automated training.
Yann LeCun's research interests include the fundamental and practical aspects of machine learning. The main goal of his research is to devise methods through which computers can extract knowledge and automatically acquire "skills" from massive datasets or from experience. Application of learning to perception is a central theme of his work: how can we teach machines to detect and recognize everyday objects in images, how to teach robots to navigate and avoid obstacles solely from visual input. LeCun's group works on a number of fundamental techniques (energy-based models, "deep learning", relational graphical models, and others) which are applied solve problems in computer vision, robotics, image and signal processing, bioinformatics, medical informatics, and economics. LeCun's group also works with the Center for Neural Science on computational models of biological learning.
Mehryar Mohri's primary research areas are machine learning, theory and algorithms, text and speech processing, and computational biology. This includes in particular the study of the theoretical aspects of machine learning, the design of general and accurate learning algorithms, and their applications to large-scale learning problems such as those found in bioinformatics and language processing.
Foster Provost studies data mining, knowledge systems, and machine learning and their alignment with business problems. He has applied advanced technologies to a variety of business problems, including fraud detection and customer contact management. His research directions include robust modeling in the face of imprecision in the business environment, and profiling/monitoring on-line activity.
David Sontag's research interests include theoretical and practical aspects of machine learning and probabilistic inference, with applications to medicine, natural language processing, and information retrieval. In particular, he studies structured prediction, approximate inference in graphical models, unsupervised learning of latent variable models, and computational trade-offs between learning and inference.

This weekend The UFC rolls into Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, for the promotion's first-ever show in the prairie province. Featured on the main card, in what promises to be a heavy-handed war, are two fighters in Pat Barry and Shawn Jordan that are renowned for either winning or losing their fights, by anything other than a decision. Between them, Barry and Jordan have 31 professional fights. Of those, only 4 fights total went to the Judge's scorecard, with Pat having 1 and Shawn having the other 3. That's an impressive statistic if you like finishes and bodes well for what to expect from the bout.
Today, on "The MMA Hour" with Ariel Helwani, Barry discussed his upcoming bout with "The Savage". Comparing himself to Jordan, "Hype-or-Die" said of the two, that it's "the type of fight I'd want to watch. Two short stocky guys, who look like squares fighting each other".
Pat made particular note of the fact that Jordan is a former football player, with a lot of speed and power, who, like himself, likes to bang and KO people, but also, a fighter who is very fast and capable of either kicking you, punching you or slamming you and doing it all in manner and speed, which confuses his opponent. In a nutshell, Barry believes that the match will go to the fighter "who can trick the other guy, first."
Of the two, Barry is the longer-toothed UFC vet, having amassed a record of 5-5. He has never won two fights in a row in The Big Show. Coming off of his beautiful KO victory over Shane del Rosario in December of last year, this will be, yet again, another opportunity for Barry to extend a win into a streak by taking home the victory. Jordan, on the other hand, has garnered a record of 2 & 1 in The Big Show and is coming off of a TKO victory over Mike Russow. He too, will be looking to cull his first 2-fight winning streak in the UFC.
Of the two, I believe Barry to be the better striker and given that this will probably be a stand-up battle, it's reasonable to think that Barry might carry the day. However and with that said, Pat has made note of the stress that he's been under for this camp. Both his mother and his step-dad have had issues relating to their health of late and in listening to the interview and even as light-hearted as Pat is or comes across, it's difficult to imagine how all-of-it wouldn't way on his mind and potentially affect his performance.
This, coupled with a splinter in his foot, wrenched neck and pulled hamstring, caused Pat to muse that "the world has been trying to tell me to cancel this fight for 8 weeks now". When asked by Helwani as to why he didn't pull out of the fight, Barry replied "because the world is trying to get me to not take it and that's all the reason in the world to take it." Ah, the irony, but the interesting thing about Pat's comment(s) is that UFC fans should have expected no less a response. As PB stated "I don't know what kind of kid you were, but when mom said…whatever you do, don't push that red button, my head always went, but now I've got to push it."
In short, Pat is a gamer. Win or lose, he shows up. He will give it his all and in doing so, take every risk, even stupid ones and all in an effort to finish his opponent and glean a decisive victory. It's all part of the reason why I and many other fans, love and respect him as a fighter.
Come Saturday night, HD will bang with Jordan, and winning streak or not, he will still be one of my favorite fighters in all of the UFC. I am picking him to defeat Jordan by KO. However and with that said, he's also been working on his submission game and (even) recently took home his first-ever armbar victory in a grappling tournament. It was obvious in his telling of the story that he has taken great pride in the accomplishment. So, who knows, maybe Hype-or-Die will shock the world with a submission victory on Saturday.
One thing is for sure, fans shouldn't expect this fight to be either boring or decided by the judges' scorecards. Reworking the quote that Rhonda Rousey is most famous for…someone's streak's gotta start.

It's the "benign" in what Peter Beinart reported as Obama's expected "benign neglect" policies toward the Holy Land.
At Brown University, in Providence, Rhode Island, I found another eighty Hitler books in a similar state of benign neglect.
But under cover of this benign neglect, the region has dramatically changed, mostly for the better.

A view from the lovely infinity pool at the Hilton Northolme.
Hilton Northolme Resort & Spa: Our full report
Situated at the Glacis end of Beau Vallon Beach, the five star Hilton Seychelles Northolme Resort and Spa is perched on a hillside with panoramic views of the sweeping bay beyond. One of the first hotels in the Seychelles (it was built after WWI), it has been completely rebuilt since and at only 40 rooms is the world's smallest Hilton! The hotel has been specifically designed to sit in harmony with its natural surroundings with its coconut palms, hibiscus, mango trees and unusual cannonball tree, and the large granite boulders that are a well-known feature of The Seychelles.
The hotel offers 14 Deluxe Oceanfront and 26 Oceanview Hillside Villas and all have ocean views. All rooms are decorated in the same style and the only difference is their positioning - the more expensive being situated right by the sea.
The villas are all beautifully decked in polished hardwood and are very spacious with an open-plan bedroom and lounge area and separate en-suite bathroom. Either side of the four poster king-size bed you will find bedside tables, reading lamps and an international dial telephone. There are also large wardrobes, a desk with large mirror, coffee table and small table with nespresso machine and tea-making facilities. The furniture is all made from polished wood and the bench-sofa is decorated with colourful cushions. Traditional art-work brightens up the walls and the windows are dressed with taupe linen blinds and curtains. All the rooms have a hairdryer, mini-fridge, ceiling fan and are air-conditioned - a clever system which switches itself off when the balcony doors are opened.
The bathrooms are beautiful and also decked in polished hardwood with double sinks, a walk-in shower and large Jacuzzi bath. Dressing gowns and slippers are supplied as well as various toiletries including shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, soap and vanity kits.
The Hilton Northolme has three different restaurants so you need never leave if you are just there to relax. The open air Hilltop Restaurant offers panoramic ocean and mountain views and a wonderful buffet breakfast is served here each morning. Themed buffets are also served here in the evenings. Les Cocotiers is a fine dining a la carte restaurant with an extensive wine list if you feel like treating yourselves, and The Ocean View Bar a casual al fresco spot which offers an all day snack and drinks menu. It is also a lovely spot to take in the sunset at the end of the day and enjoy a cocktail or two.
The Hilton Northolme offers a variety of facilities and activities including an infinity free-form swimming pool overlooking the ocean, sun-lounger area with parasols, and gym with panoramic ocean-view. If it is raining you will find entertainment in the games' room (the Crow's Nest) which has a library, pool table, table tennis, darts, card and chess tables and board games. It also has a huge flat screen television and films are sometimes screened here in the evenings. The gift shop features a selection of swimwear and sportswear, books, arts and crafts, snacks, magazines and cigarettes. A free internet facility is available in the bar.
The hotel's watersports facilities include complimentary snorkelling, kayak and pedal boat hire. It is quite possible to snorkel directly from the beach as there are quite a few colourful fish around the rocks. Waterskiing, jet skiing, parasailing and diving facilities are located nearby, and these activities can be arranged at an extra charge. The hotel can also arrange a number of guided excursions including sunset cruises, Mahé sightseeing and island hopping.

Final exams always produce a great deal of tension and apprehension in any college course.
But students in Dr. Diane Paras Applied Sports Event Management Course at SUNY Canton are facing all the normal anxieties plus the threat that bad weather from a hyper-extended winter could undermine their efforts.
The Applied Sports Event Management Course features half of the seniors in the first graduating class in the Sports Management major founded and directed by Dr. Para.
Their semester-long project has been to plan and execute a full sporting event for the public using what they have learned in their studies to a real world setting. The senior students decided to host a SUNY Canton Sports Management Tee Off Classic Golf Tournament on Saturday, April 26 at the Partridge Run Golf and Country Club in Canton.
The students decided on a Captain and Crew format for male, female and mixed teams which will be flighted based on handicaps. They hope to include 25 teams in the day which is designed as a kickoff to the area golf season.
The entry fee is $60 per golfer and includes Green/Cart fees, a gift bag, lunch and a roast beef dinner at the course after play. Awards will be presented to the first place team in each flight and putting contests, Closest to the Pin, Longest Driver and Par 3 Poker contests and a 50/50 raffle will be held in conjunction with the tournament.
Golfers may register by mailing entry forms to Dr. Diane Para, SUNY Canton, Cook 125, 34 Cornell Drive, Canton, N.Y. 13617.
Registration may also be done on-line by going to partridgerungolf.com and clicking on the events tab.
Events Experience
While planning for the tournament, the students also drew from the invaluable experience of serving in all aspects of two USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association) National Volleyball Tournaments on the SUNY Canton Campus. USCAA officials were so impressed that they asked the students to work the Womens and Mens National USCAA National Basketball Championships in Pennsylvania and the National Cross Country Championships in Syracuse.
Many of same students also worked in several aspects of the Syracuse vs Pittsburgh basketball game in the Carrier Dome in February which included a tour of the ESPN television operation.
The idea of hosting a golf tournament was ideally suited for Kyle Clark, a Canton native who is currently completing an internship at Partridge Run. He hopes to move to the Southern part of the country after graduation where he can work in the golf industry all year long and work becoming a club professional.
I think this is a great local opportunity for students to interact with local business and other sports professionals in the area. It also takes the students out of their comfort zone and gets them doing things that they probably wouldnt have done otherwise, says Clark.
For a while we were pretty nervous but there is actually no snow/ice on the course anymore and with a weekend forecast of high sixties the I think the course should dry up pretty well.
Kyle Weaver, another Canton native, also found the golf tournament project ideally suited to his main interests in the scope of Sports Management: marketing, event managing and sports broadcasting.
Weaver recalled that after a bit of a slow start in the group dynamics of the class things came together. The decision-making became more decisive aided by Kaitlyn Hart who did the meeting notes and kept everyone on the same page.
Kyle Clark, Chris Schmidbauer, Terry Bradford and I went out and did the majority of the sponsorships. Mike Carbone handled the budget. Brian Nowalk, Zack Votra and Neil Mancketlow secured donations and Brian got us a spot on the radio, says Weaver.
Drew Gearsbeck is working on a tournament program which will include all of our sponsors, and an itinerary of what is going to happen that day. Bryce McDonald-Wilson and myself have handled much of the marking, which included getting information on the tournament around campus to other faculty members and to media members.
Procured as the major sponsors of the event are: Renzi Foodservice of Watertown and Oakville Customs Brokerage of Oakville, Ont.
The marketing and promotion of the tournament also included an entry form - flier created with a distinctive logo.
Based on the students performance in major events like the NSCCA National Volleyball, Basketball and Cross Country championships, the golf tournament should have a distinct professional touch in its operation.
The volleyball championships are certainly quite task but once again your students were outstanding in helping us out at the basketball championships, said the USCAAs Director of Championships Ryan Ehrie in an email to Dr. Para.
They provide much more than any volunteer can, number one because of their knowledge and passion for sports.
Kyle Clark feels that the golf tournament will one of the culminating events as the seniors complete their studies for a degree in Sports Management and their personal development.
I cant say enough about how much these classes at SUNY Canton have prepared me. In this program you are always talking in groups and in front of the class, he said.
We took a leadership class, I think that this was probably my favorite class at SUNY Canton.

Coworking turns 7 this week
Posted on 04. Aug, 2013 by tobymorning in blog, Coworking, Coworking Day, Designers, Detroit, Developers, SOMA, Startups
On August 9, 2013, Citizen Space, the world's first coworking space, will celebrate its 7 year anniversary and the global coworking movement with "International Coworking Day 2013".
International Coworking Day will be celebrated all over the world and will focus on freelancers, independents, & startup businesses who have chosen to "work collaboratively together".
There already exists a global sense of community among people who have a dedication to collaborating, communicating and working together in a shared space. If you want to join in on the discussion, and get a sense of the buzz and enthusiasm that is being generated to create spaces like Citizen Space globally, please do so at http://discuss.coworking.com/.
The general concept of coworking is simple; Freelancers, startups, independent professionals, or anyone with workplace flexibility who happens to work better when collaborating, rather than alone, come together in a shared workspace. Those who get involved agree to uphold the values set out by the movement's founders, as well as communicate and socially interact with one another. It is all about creating a better working environment for entrepreneurs to get productivity flowing.
Working alone is a nice idea on the face of it. Those who work in an office environment will readily tell you how they would love to sit at home in their dressing gown and get up and make a cup of coffee every now and then. The truth is that there are a number of distractions that can slow down your production. There is also the loneliness and solitude that comes with working home alone. There are a number of stories and testimonials that support the general idea of International Co-working Day on August 9; read some of the stories here -http://coworking.com/coworkingstories.pdf and see if coworking can transform the way you work.
History Citizen Space:
In 2006 Tara Hunt & Chris Messina along with Brad Neuberg (Hat Factory) and a few others launched Citizen Space. Citizen Space became the first stand-alone "work" only shared space using the "coworking" label to describe a new type of collaborative space.
Citizen Space was acquired by Toby & Gina Morning in 2011, and continues to operate the world's first coworking space in the heart of San Francisco's SOMA district at 425 Second Street, Suite 100, San Francisco, Ca, 94107.

Fans get creative to save Sarah Connor
Here's the idea, thought up by our friends at io9.com: TSCC fans are being asked to take photos of themselves posing with products that sponsor the show and posting them on a Flickr group. io9 says they'll make sure Fox and Warner Bros. see the photos and feel the buying power of TSCC fans.
So if you drive a Dodge Ram or love stuffing your face with Whoppers and want to see a third season of TSCC, take a picture and upload it to the group.
Right now on Cinematical
- You guys, I cannot take Valkyrie seriously. Seriously, who thought that making a movie in 2008 about Nazis starring Tom Cruise in an eye patch was a good idea? Anyway, Cinematical reviews Valkyrie here.
- Don't you love year-end list time? Movies, actors and trends; Cinematical examines the hottest of 2008.
- Okay, don't freak out yet. Warner Bros. is still planning on releasing The Watchmen in March, but a judge has ruled that FOX has at least distribution rights. Read the latest on the battle for Watchmen here.
- If you have to take out classics like Psycho and the original Friday the 13th and only choose movies from 1990 to the present, what would you put as the best horror movies? Cinematical has the top 25.
- Because it's the day after Christmas, I present to you without further comment, drunk Jeff Goldblum. Happy holidays!
TMZ renewed for two more years ... it's all good!
So what IS it about the rich, famous and screwed-up that we find so fascinating? Other than the fact that it's just plain fun to gawk at these folks, I've come up with a few reasons why TMZ is one of the best things to enter our lives in years:
1. TMZ shows us that even though the rest of us might be struggling out here, we're still way better off than the people on TMZ's radar. That's comforting in a weird way.
Warner Brothers goes exclusively Blu-ray
Jonny Quest live-action flick is a go
My friend Wild Bill sent me news that Jonny Quest, the Hanna-Barbera series about the titular lad who accompanies his scientist father on wild adventures, is being made into a live-action movie. The series, much like The Flintstones, The Jetsons and Top Cat, aired during primetime when it first aired in the '60s. New versions of Jonny Quest also popped up in the '80s and '90s.
Like the upcoming Speed Racer flick from the Wachowski brothers, reports so far say the movie will be "family friendly." The movie will serve as an origin story explaining how Jonny's bodyguard Roger "Race" Bannon and Dr. Benton Quest's adopted son Hadji join the family.
ThunderCats, the movie
Oh yeah, it's happening.
Following the soon-to-be -released Transformers and the recently-announced He-Man comes yet another afternoon 'toon from my childhood making its way to the silver screen.
This time, it's ThunderCats, an animated series that aired in the 1980s and focused on a group of warriors that looked like a meld of both human and feline. Warner Bros. has optioned a script from Paul Sopocy for the
live-action CGI feature-length adaptation.
Underbelly creator inks deal with WBTV
If you've been having trouble sleeping at night because you're concerned about what might become of Notes from the Underbelly creator Stacy Traub if her show doesn't make it, you can stop worrying. Traub has signed a two-year deal with Warner Bros. Television that will allow her to develop new series should Notes from the Underbelly not get picked up for another season. Otherwise, Traub will remain with the show as a show runner and executive producer. As far as what new shows she would develop, Traub says she likes shows with "flawed characters." She's also written for Kitchen Confidential and Spin City.
Notes from the Underbelly is about a young couple who become pregnant and must settle into a more mature lifestyle while simultaneously hearing advice from meddlesome family and friends. It will air on ABC.
Johnny Carson chats with Mel Blanc - VIDEO
When people talk about the greatest voice actors in cartoons, Mel Blanc is always at the top of the list, and for good reason: he solely provided the voice of the majority of the Looney Tunes characters, save for Elmer Fudd, who was voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan. His first real contribution was providing the voice of Porky Pig, a gig originally given to an actor named Joe Dougherty whose genuine stutter made it impossible for him to control the character's voice.
Blanc also worked in radio before and during his time at Warner Bros., working with such legends as Jack Benny, Abbot and Costello, and Burns and Allen. It was radio that helped him to create solid but unseen characters, a talent that carried over beautifully into animation.
After the jump is a clip from the Tonight Show featuring the man himself being interviewed by Johnny Carson. It's rather bittersweet to see these two great comedic minds on screen together, and to think of what the world of entertainment lost when they each passed away.

Philbert, the show that never was - VIDEO
In 1963, shortly before the Warner Bros. Animation Studio closed down, Friz Freleng created a pilot for ABC called Philbert. The series, a mix of animation and live-action, featured actor William Schallert (The Patty Duke Show, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis, Gunsmoke, Get Smart) as a newspaper cartoonist who lives with Philbert, the character from his comic. ABC never picked up the pilot, so it was repackaged as a theatrical short instead. If you own the Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 3, then you own the theatrical version of Philbert, which is included with the set.
Animation historian Jerry Beck provided audio commentary for the short, and has posted a rough clip of the original television pilot on Cartoon Brew. The pilot was directed by Richard Donner (Superman, The Goonies). Freleng directed the animation. I've also placed it here for your enjoyment. It definitely has a very "'60s sitcom" feel to it, and it's neat to see the cartoon character holding and interacting with objects in the real world.
In2TV adds Looney Tunes channel
In2TV recently added a Looney Tunes channel to its ever-growing collection of TV shows. My first thought was, "hey, that's pretty awesome." I mean, it is awesome. There's a whole bunch of great shorts to pick from, including the very first appearances of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. This is another chance for people to see these cartoons, and that's a good thing.
However, as someone who adores these old classics, I have to say there are better ways to view these cartoons. Refrederator is an excellent video podcast that features a ton of old cartoons from Warner Bros. and other studios that you can download, and it's always worth digging through Archive.org for public domain cartoons that can also be downloaded to your computer.
Loonatics Unleashed coming to DVD
My generation grew up with GI Joe, Voltron, Thundercats and He-Man, so we're not exactly strangers to action-based cartoons, but we also had reruns of Looney Tunes shorts and early Hanna-Barbera (Tom and Jerry, The Jetsons, The Flintstones, etc). These days, it seems cartoons are all about action, and those old cartoons have either disappeared completely, or have become more difficult to find (Boomerang excluded). It's quite a shame, because my own nieces and nephew, regardless of being generations removed from the likes of Bugs Bunny and Tom and Jerry, absolutely love those old cartoons. Sure, they still love Avatar: The Last Airbender and Shaolin Showdown, but they also know what funny is.
Nevertheless, someone, somewhere felt that Bugs and his pals needed to cash in on the popularity of anime and anime-inspired action cartoons, and the result was Loonatics Unleashed, a cartoon set in the future, featuring descendants of the classic Looney Tunes characters with super powers and crazy gadgets and weapons. The first season will be out on DVD this March, and if you see your kids walking towards it in the store, I suggest you kick them towards the classic Golden Collection DVD sets instead.
What's New, Scooby-Doo? first season on DVD in 2007
What's New Scooby-Doo? was an updated version of the classic Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? that stuck with the basic premise of the gang solving spooky mysteries, but with new gadgets and contemporary music to give everything a more modern feel. The only voice actors who remained from the original series were Casey Kasem as Shaggy and Frank Welker as Fred (who also took over the voice of Scooby-Doo after Don Messick passed away in 1997). All other characters were voiced by different people. The animation was done by Warner Bros, giving it a more fluid look than the Hanna-Barbera original. The first season of the cartoon, which ran for just under three years on the WB, will be released on DVD on February 20, 2007. Fans of the original series probably don't care too much about this modern version, but younger kids seem to like it. Besides, it's not like people my age aren't more familiar with the Ralph Bakshi version of Mighty Mouse than the original Terrytoons version. Things get updated for new generations, that's how this nutty industry works sometimes.

Artists try to help out fellow artist and Holocaust survivor
For over thirty years, Dina Babbitt, once a teenage girl imprisoned in Auschwitz, has been trying to reclaim paintings she made while in the concentration camp. Josef Mengele, the infamous Nazi doctor, took a liking to Babbitt's artwork and asked her to paint portraits of the gypsies on which he was performing his horrific experiments. It was, in fact, these paintings that kept Babbitt alive. After the war, Babbitt came to California and worked as an animator for both Warner Bros. and Jay Ward Productions. When it was revealed that seven of her Auschwitz paintings were on display at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum in Poland, she tried to get them back, but the museum has consistently refused, claiming the paintings are not personal works of art, but rather documentation of the events that occurred at Auschwitz created under the orders of Dr. Mengele. The artistic community, including former DC Comics artist Joe Kubert, have rallied around Babbitt's cause, as have congresswoman Shelley Berkley, and a former director of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington. Efforts to help the 83 year old Babbitt reclaim her artwork were stepped up recently due to a heart condition that is threatening her health, though I would assume that if she were to pass away before the issue is resolved her family would continue the fight.
[via Toon Zone]
Bugs and Daffy in high def
Good news for animation fans who are into that whole "high definition" thing. The September 26th HD-DVD release of The Adventures of Robin Hood, the 1938 classic featuring Errol Flynn in the titular role, will also include three Warner Bros. shorts in high def: "Robin Hood Daffy," "Katnip College," and "Rabbit Hood." It would be nice if they actually released HD-DVDs of these and other cartoons, but I guess we'll have to take what we can get for now. At least you'll be able to see Bugs' make-up and all of Daffy's plastic surgery scars. Apparently a Blu-Ray disc will hit stores sometime next year. To be honest, I'm rather indifferent to seeing these cartoons in high def. To me, seeing them in high def is like listening to an old jazz song on a CD. There's nothing wrong with it, per se, but that's not really how it was meant to be experienced. Of course, these cartoons were originally created for movie screens, so I guess anything other than that would be "incorrect" so to speak.

Late on Thanksgiving weather blew in- by Friday morning the sky was heavy and violet grey. Noises- even the rainfall-seemed muffled in the thick damp atmosphere. I've always loved the woodcuts of the landscape in rain and snow by Japanese masters, so I decided to try to capture that effect in this little piece. Can you see the rain falling?

Backyard Magic #4
Backyard Magic #4 Oil 4 x 8
$100 + $10 shipping
This is how the sunset looked one day in late August. Really- I'm not kidding. It looked like there had been a fiery volcanic eruption over the hill on our neighbor's ranch and the sky was bathed in hot lava. Of course, nothing like that happened. It was just a sunset. In a few minutes, it was over and everything went back to normal. More or less.

Heading South
Heading South oil 6 x 6
I think autumn is one of the most evocative times of the year. Unlike spring, which is all about rebirth and looking forward, fall is a reflective time - more about looking back than forward. It can have an almost sensual feel, made even more poignant by the passing days. The word "autumn" itself is a metaphor for loss and the passage of time. I don't know that I got all of that in this little painting, but I sure did try.

Afternoon Clouds
Afternoon Clouds Oil 24 x 36
This is a piece I just completed for M Gallery of Fine Art in Sarasota. I posted the study for this piece a while back (ok, it took me too long to get this finished!) I am generally pleased with it. There is a quality of light I was after - its partly the feeling of glare you get on bright days in Florida but also that sense of distance and atmosphere created by layers of moist air - I wanted the viewer to have an experience of that- like you could walk in and put your sun glasses on! I don't know if you can feel that in this image but I think it does come through in the painting.

Rhythm & Blues
Rhythm & Blues Oil 6 x 6
This is painted from memory. One of my favorite stretches of road is 287 between Amarillo and Wichita Falls. Now, even Texans think I am crazy to say that, but this is where the Plains meet the West - an area also known as "the Breaks". Agriculture and ranching, nourished by the Red River, clings to a narrow swath surrounded by big open country.

Handing out region championship predictions
The non-region basketball season is in the books, as region play opens Friday night.
So the question is, have we learned anything that we didn't expect in the preseason?
The two biggest surprises so far have been the girls' teams from Abbeville and T.L. Hanna.
Most of the other perceived region favorites have largely played the way most expected. Both D.W. Daniel teams have played well against above average competition, especially for the boys at the Beach Ball Classic.
Two weeks ago, the Abbeville girls matched their win total from last year (three), as they look far from the team that's missed the playoffs the last three seasons. It's a similar turnaround to Hanna, which has already more than doubled last year's win total.
But with the Pickens girls' play at the Pepsi Holiday Invitational, my money's on them giving Daniel a strong push for Western AAA supremacy. Sure, Seneca shouldn't be overlooked, but the Lady Cats are too young to be expected to win the region title.
Those two Beach Ball losses haven't diminished the widespread expectations that the Daniel boys should win Western AAA. The only possible speed bumps could be at Woodmont, or an outside shot of a rivalry upset from Seneca.
If there was any doubt of Abbeville contending for another Skyline boys title, the Panthers eliminated those thoughts with another undefeated start, including a Bearcat Classic championship win over Greenwood at Lander University last month.
The race for second in the Skyline appears more interesting as Pendleton has the athleticism to be in the mix, while Walhalla once again has plenty of perimeter shooters.
In Region 1-AAAA, Hanna has proven enough to be the favorite to win the girls title in a region which has seen plenty of parity for most of the last decade. Greenwood, Westside, Wren and Laurens have all won at least one title since the 2004-05 season.
There's always a possibility of a road upset, but I don't see this Hanna team losing twice, and losing the tiebreaker.
Since Hanna's dominant run from 2003-05, when they Yellow Jackets went 27-3, the boys in Region 1-AAAA have also seen a cycle of parity. Easley won two straight in '06 and '07, but Wren and Westside are the last two winners. And given the play of Hanna so far, it looks to be difficult for Westside to repeat.
The big story, though, is Easley's 10-3 start. The Green Wave even had an 18-point lead on Daniel, before the Lions came back to win 68-62 on Tuesday.
So now, for your bulletin board pleasure, here are my region champion predictions: The Hanna girls, and the Easley boys will win Region 1-AAAA. It'll be a Daniel sweep in Western AAA. And in the Skyline, the Abbeville boys will repeat, while the Walhalla girls will knock off tough challenges from Pendleton and Abbeville.

San Fransisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/04/2012 -- Scientists say that the brain should be exercised on a regular basis. Just like any muscle in our body, the brain needs to be constantly worked in order to stay in shape. Fortunately, the internet is home to a wide range of brain games that make it fun and easy to achieve a better memory and keep the brain in shape.

These include classic brain games like Chess and Tic Tac Toe, as well as a number of newer games like Fun Math or Add Like Mad. The games are free and easy to understand, and many of the games don't require users to read any instructions before starting to play.
A spokesperson for NeuroArcade.com explained how the website wants to help keep users – and their brains – entertained:
"We are massive fans of brain based games so set about creating the best resource on the net for free brain games. We've carefully chosen each and every game on our website.

Chinese president praises cooperation with Russia
Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed satisfaction over his debut trip to Russia as well as the closer ties with Moscow.
"From my point of view, my visit has already reached its aim. The results have far exceeded my expectations," Xi told Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
Medvedev called Xi's visit to Russia "a symbolic event".
The Chinese leader also met State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin. Some three dozen agreements and deals signed during his visit.
"This is the first foreign visit of China's new leader. It means that the relations with Russia have a prior significance for China," Naryshkin said.
"Believe me, cooperation with China is also a priority for Russia," he added.
The Chinese leader earlier spent over seven hours with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Putin and Xi oversaw the signing of a tentative agreement between Gazprom and China National Petroleum Corporation to cooperate in the annual supply of up to 30 billion cubic metres of gas to China.
The countries also reached other deals on cooperation in banking, energy and rabbit husbandry.
Xi also went to meet students of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, where he spoke about Russia and China's joint role in international affairs.
"Russia and China should strengthen strategic cooperation on the international scene, together defend the UN principle regulations and secure peace and stability," Xi told the students.

State boating deaths up, Douglas County down
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Ore. -- A new report shows that 2012 has been an especially deadly year for boaters in Oregon.
With the recreational boating season is over, 17 people died in the state in boating accidents, making it close to one of the deadliest years on record.
One person died in Douglas County waterways this year. While she was wearing a life jacket, officials say that many others who die in boating accidents are not.
Authorities say that more people hitting the water in the county are taking measures to stay safe. "What we're seeing here in Douglas County is more people who are actually wearing their properly fitted life jackets, higher than normal," said Douglas County Sheriff's deputy Dwes Hutson.
Though the weather is getting colder, Hutson says that some people are still going to be in and around water.
He says now that temperatures are dropping, it is even more important to wear a life jacket when you're near the water.

Unmanned X-47B aircraft completes sea trial
We now know that the pilotless X-47B aircraft has its sea legs.
The prototype X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System(PDF) this week completed its first at-sea tests as it gets ready to take off from and land on an aircraft carrier sometime in 2013, a first in naval aviation history.
That eventual flight will be the big moment for the X-47B. But the test phase that just ended is no small potatoes. It's a tricky thing for any aircraft to maneuver around the hectic, cramped, and crowded space of a carrier flight deck. In the test phase that just … Read more
Verizon responds to AT&T, adds 29 LTE markets
Verizon has added 29 new LTE markets to its service.
The company announced today that Selma, Ala., and Port Angeles, Wash., are among the many markets getting access to its LTE service today. With those cities added, Verizon now offers its LTE service in 470 markets across the U.S. Verizon said today that it's also expanding its LTE availability in 36 existing markets, bringing its total coverage to more than 250 million people.
Verizon's announcement comes just a couple of days after AT&T announced that it has brought its LTE network to five cities, bringing … Read more
Sprint's 4G LTE network reaches 49 markets
Sprint announced 4G LTE coverage today in six new areas, bringing the total to 49 markets.
Effective immediately, subscribers in parts of Indiana, Pennsylvania, and California will find the faster data speeds awaiting them.
Reaching 49 markets in total, Indianapolis/Carmel, Ind.; Santa Rosa/Petaluma, Calif.; Vallejo/Fairfield, Calif.; York/Hanover, Pa.; and Franklin County, Pa. are the newest members of the club. Parts of southern Puerto Rico, including Ponce, Coamo, and Guayama are also seeing 4G LTE coverage today. In addition to these new cities, Sprint is also celebrating expanded LTE coverage in Chicago.
AT&T yet again the worst-rated carrier in U.S.
More bad news for AT&T.
Consumer Reports has released its annual carrier ratings. And just as it had in the last two years, AT&T landed in last place, far behind the top major carrier in the roundup, Verizon Wireless.
Verizon Wireless fared somewhat well in the study, earning relatively strong marks on voice and data. The only bright spot in AT&T's review was its 4G LTE network, which actually beat out its chief competitor in this year's study.
Sprint and T-Mobile USA landed between Verizon and AT&T.
For its part, … Read more
Carrier-bound X-47B drone passes remote-control test
How do you drive a jet-powered drone around the deck of an aircraft carrier? If you've ever guided a remote-control toy car around your kitchen floor, you'll have an idea.
Northrop Grumman said today that it has done its first shore-based tests of a wireless handheld controller that can steer its X-47B unmanned aerial vehicle, a key step toward getting the UAV ready for flight tests on an aircraft carrier in 2013.
In the trial run, which took place earlier this month, Northrop Grumman and the U.S. Navy used the project's Control Display Unit to roll … Read more
RIM: Over 50 carriers testing BlackBerry 10 now
Research In Motion said today that more than 50 carriers are testing its BlackBerry 10 platform, a critical step to getting its next-generation smartphones in the market next year.
RIM reiterated the company's target of releasing its two BlackBerry 10 smartphones in the first quarter of next year.
Carriers need to test the platform and RIM's products before certifying it for use on their networks, a process known as "Lab Entry." The process, which could take anywhere from a week to several weeks and varies depending on carrier partner, is mandatory for any mobile operating system, … Read more
Using a tablet SIM to turn a smartphone into a data-only device
Why do wireless carriers have to make everything so complicated? Wireless subscribers should be able to subscribe to the service they want and need and not be forced to take services they don't want or need.
This seems like a simple enough concept, and yet customers who want a smartphone but only want to pay for voice services can't get it. And customers who want to forgo voice service for data-only services are also not able to get what they want. In this edition of Ask Maggie, I offer some advice and explanation to a reader on this … Read more
Huawei caught up in legal mess over cell equipment sales to Iran
Huawei, the embattled Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, has been caught in a convoluted tale over Iranian cellular sales.
Earlier this year, Huawei purchased cellular antenna equipment from a U.S.-based company, called Andrew LLC, and then through a partner in Iran, attempted to sell those products to a carrier in the Middle Eastern country, Reuters is reporting today, citing documents it obtained from unidentified sources. The carrier apparently cancelled the sale for fear of violating U.S. sanctions.
CNET has contacted Huawei for comment on the Reuters report. We will of course update this story when we have more … Read more
Verizon may offer Google Play carrier billing
Verizon Wireless is set to become the next wireless provider to offer carrier billing for Google Play purchases, according to unconfirmed reports. An internal Verizon screenshot obtained by Droid Life shows that the feature will be enabled later this week, specifically on October 18.
It it follows through, Verizon would be the last major U.S. carrier to adopt the billing strategy for apps, games, and other content. With that in mind, it appears that Big Red is going to employ a somewhat different tactic from the other players.
As evidenced in the photo, Verizon will put a $25 cap … Read more

Mumford ISD, a small school district in Robertson County, saves money in innovative ways and maintains no long-term debt. Mumford's minimal administration allows for proportionately more spending on teachers, lower overall costs, and the freedom of teachers to teach. Maintaining a surplus allows Mumford to have no debt and a large fund balance. A cost-conscious attitude has led to innovative solutions, like the superintendent serving as contractor, to save money for the district. Mumford's minimal administration and cost-conscious policies are worth the consideration of school districts throughout Texas.
