Well, obviously I loved the early Hanna Barbera style - Even if you hate these cartoons, you have to admit that the style is at least instantly recognizable.
The best thing about the early HB cartoons is the characters themselves. They have a very distinct look and each one has a distinct voice to go with it.
They are iconic characters within an overall iconic cartoon style - created by Ed Benedict.
Here's Gene Hazelton drawing in Ed's style.
Here are fun colors from a super-cheap Quick Draw McGraw cartoon from 1958.
The characters are cartoony, likeable and visually appealing. Maybe you hated the animation because it is cheap, but even the animation is stylish and every cartoon had individual touches - according to the animators who did the work.
Personally I loved H and B when the cartoons were cartoony, but in the mid to the late 60s, right after Filmation started to see some success in Saturday Morning cartoons, Bill and Joe must have seen them and said "Hey, we're working too hard!" And so they started imitating Filmation.
At first, it wasn't so bad. "Frankenstein Junior" had a less cartoony look than the Flintstones, but it was still professionally designed at least. It's not as cartoony as Yogi Bear, but it looks like actual artists designed it.
But after the Archies and Scooby Doo, all standards went out the window:
Now, everything was not only designed to be ugly on purpose, but the drawing standards themselves - layout and animation, were lowered. You could get away with the worst, most awkward drawings - as long as they were bland.
Even Ren and Stimpy backgrounds can't save these awkward Superman cels.
Nice legs on Wonder Woman there.
Swell proportions.
Everyone seems to love Alex Toth and it's obvious that he himself has some drawing skill - but he's the last person who ever should have been designing cartoons. First of all even his own drawings are stiff and lifeless and the opposite of what "animation" is about. If you have to animate realistically proportioned characters (even though it's impossible to do so) you should at least get an artist who has some guts and can draw strong action poses, like Jack Kirby or Steve Ditko. It still wouldn't work, but at least you wouldn't be starting the whole process with deadness.
This deadness just got worse over the years - to the point where the "realistic" and "cartoony" shows began to blend into each other. And that's about the time I started working on this horribly depressing stuff.
The voices, by the way had degraded in exactly the same way that the designs did. Characters no longer had distinct cartoon voices. Now they had indistinguishable voices - even when they used live action stars to voice them. Most stars don't sound any different than your neighbors and add nothing to the characterizations of the animated characters. It's just more blandness heaped on to blandness across the board. You may laugh at this terrible 80s stuff, but the effects of it have never gone away. For the last 25 years, big budget animated features have followed 80s Saturday Morning cartoon techniques and traditions. Bland stiff semi-realistic designs, bland live action voices and fear of doing anything that is fun or creative.I had to draw not only "The Fonz" but that damned ugly basketball headed dog. We used to draw this stuff and shake our heads in disbelief. "They're actually paying us for these drawings"?
This is a style that has evolved out of fear. Fear of standing out from the other artists. Fear of executives. Fear of style. Fear of making a statement. This fear wove its way into the very fabric of the whole business and each animator and cartoon artist. To this day, when I draw in my own style, I have a nagging guilt that I must be doing something wrong - that the very act of making a funny looking or unique drawing is somehow undermining every rule of modern animation. Like there is an invisible Ranger Smith looking over my shoulder every minute and grunting each time I do something fun. In the cartoon business, it is considered irresponsible to do anything fun or natural to cartoons.
This was truly the case during the 1980s. It was so wrong to make not only a stylish drawing, or an expressive one, but even a decent one! A pose that was well-constructed would have been considered completely radical and you could get fired for it. Everyone lived in such fear of standing out that they succumbed to the ridiculous practice of tracing model sheets. Model sheets that were ugly drawings to begin with. - and no one was doing anything to change this crazy situation!
80s "cartoony" cartoons.
There were a few cartoons that were designed in a supposed "cartoony' style, but the production system was not altered for them. We had to use the exact same stupid methods we used on the so-called "realistic" series. We had to draw everything straight up and down, no line of action because that would be too radical. So even though Joe would sell the networks a cartoony cartoon, we were so conditioned by fear of creativity that no one did what would have come naturally 2 decades earlier.A big cartoon genre in the 80s was "small" cartoons. Little magical creatures that lived in fungi or peat moss and had magical properties - but they had to be "believable" so couldn't squash or stretch or do anything that looked funny.
This series was about a bunch of tiny poos that lived in a poo world and had magical stinky adventures standing around vertically and moving their mouths to inane writer-dialogue.Here's the bland adventures of Jesus and his badly drawn mythical friends.
There was a lot of this standing up and down next to each other in the 1980s.
Not much of striking a pose or making an expression. That would be way too radical, because real people don't ever make expressions or have interesting poses.
The bible has some of the craziest stories ever invented so it's a complete irony to give it such a bland "realistic" treatment. Did everyone have the same face and body 2500 years ago?
Another stupid thing about the 80s was the idea of "quality". When a producer thought he wanted to make his show stand out from the competition he didn't try to make his drawings better, or have more interesting characters or better stories. Instead he called for "more". More details. More characters also equals better quality. The irony of this theory is that in practical reality, the more characters you draw the less time you have to spend on each character because the budgets remained low no matter what.
So when you drew a crowd scene you spent 2 minutes on each character instead of 10 minutes for a scene with just 2 characters. That amounts to characters that are 1/5th as well drawn as in a show that had a more practical amount of characters.
This was the era where absolutely nothing made sense. People today blame budgets for the poor quality of Saturday morning cartoons, but that's not the total story. Impractical decisions are the real reason.
Even with a low budget you can have:
Good design
Distinct Voices
Strong poses
Pleasing colors
None of those things cost any extra money.
The last things you should be animating on a low budget are crowds and realistic characters.
No one has ever been successful animating realistic human proportions. Ever. Not even with big budgets. The best I've ever seen were the 2 main characters in Sleeping Beauty. They cost a fortune, had at least professional design, needed rotoscoping to aid in the natural movement and took forever to animate. And with all that, they're still boring. If Disney couldn't do it with all the money and talent in the world-how can crappy low budget TV cartoons with bad design pull it off?
But no one ever learns and they keep making the same impractical decisions that hamper the progress and potential of animation.
Saturday morning cartoons and their philosophy of creativity by fear eventually poisoned even big budget animated feature films and we are living with the consequences to this day.
Fear of drawing an expression or pose:
Fear of appealing non-generic characters
Fear of everything cartoons can do
Thanks to Saturday morning cartoon practices

Former football star O.J. Simpson is being granted parole for some of the charges he was convicted of in a robbery at a Las Vegas hotel. Simpson was granted parole for kidnapping and armed robbery. He remains behind bars on other charges. Simpson was convicted for shaking down two memorabilia dealers in 2007 who he claims were selling things that belonged to him. He's trying to get a retrial.
The parole board says it granted the move based on his positive conduct while in prison. It was also based on his lack of prior convictions, as well as his participation in programs for inmates.

In the Face of Silence
Christophe Agou
Dewi Lewis Publishing
Presenting an intimate portrait of the lives of French farmers from the Forez region, on the eastern side of the Massif Central, In the Face of Silence is a powerful and emotive account. Agou grew up in this area of France, so it was this local knowledge and sensitivity that enabled him to form such profound and personal relationships with his subjects.
With text throughout by John Berger, the narrative presented is that of a labour intensive, hard and enduring life. This is not the picture of France that comes to mind when you codify the country – think about the swanky Riviera, snow covered Alps, Bordeaux wine or Parisian haute couture.
Agou won the European Publishers Award for Photography with this portrayal. He was moved by the authenticity and genuine nature of the people he encountered. The images included are not exactly aesthetic, but their honesty makes them incredibly appealing. Provoking a reaction and creating an experience that encourages readers to ask questions about Agou's subjects, which is exactly why this book is a resounding success.

Caring for synthetic wigs and toppers can be quick, easy and stress free by following just a few simple tips and tricks.
- Always use a wig brush or wide tooth comb to gently remove any tangles from your hairpiece.
- Fill a sink or bowl with cold water and add a cap full of synthetic fibre wig shampoo to the bowl. Gently agitate the water to foam.
- Submerge your hairpiece into the water and gentle swish from side to side for a few moments before leaving to soak for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Once soaked, drain the water and rinse your hairpiece under cold, clean running water to remove all the bubbles before gently squeezing the hairpiece to remove the excess water.
your squeaky clean hairpiece can now be blotted with a clean towel and left to air dry.
TIP! We find washing our wig in the evening and allowing it to air dry over night to be very helpful.
Washing your human hair wig or topper can feel scary at first but don't fear as we are here to help!
- Gently remove any tangles from your hairpiece using a wig brush or a wide tooth comb.
- We recommend pinning your human hair wig or topper to a care head to wash as washing this way helps to stop inversion of the hair.
- Using your shower head (or a jug and clean warm water) wet the hair down and then apply a small amount of shampoo to your hands, working it down and through the lengths of the hair. DO NOT SCRUB as this can cause tangles.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and repeat the process using conditioner being sure to avoid letting conditioner settle on the base for too long a period as this can cause shedding of the hair. Rinse well.
- Squeeze out the excess water from the hair and blot dry with a towel. You can heat dry and style on the care head or remove and leave to air dry if you'd prefer.
If you are purchasing a wig from us due to a medical related hair loss condition such as Alopecia, hair loss due to Chemotherapy treatment or hair loss and thinning due to medication then you are entitled to claim relief from VAT on wigs and toppers.

Can't say we didn't see it coming. You could point to former Microsoft Executive Stephen Elop's appointment as Nokia's new CEO in September as the beginning of a major transition for the Finnish mobile manufacturer, but things had been in disarray for the struggling company for long before then. The blockbuster strategic partnership with Microsoft to provide Windows Phone 7 software on Nokia devices has been labeled by some as a Hail Mary pass for the company, with major implications for Symbian and its employees. And while we won't know what kind of effect all the changes will have on Nokia's bottom line, we're starting to see some major changes to its workforce.
Today, Nokia announced another "strategic collaboration" -- this time with the technology services and outsourcing company Accenture. The deal would outsource Nokia's Symbian activities to Accenture, including the 3,000 employees who work on it. In addition, Accenture would provide "mobility software services" to Nokia on its future smartphones.
"This collaboration demonstrates our ongoing commitment to enhance our Symbian offering and serve our smartphone customers," said Jo Harlow, executive vice president for Smart Devices for Nokia said in a press release. "As we move our primary smartphone platform to Windows Phone, this transition of skilled talent to Accenture shows our commitment to provide our Symbian employees with potential new career opportunities."
This won't be the first time that the two companies worked together. They've been involved with one another, on some level, since 1994. Their partnership ramped up in October 2009, though, when Accenture acquired Nokia's professional services unit that provided support of Symbian to mobile manufacturers and other service providers.
And while the 3,000 employees moving to Accenture will continue to work, another 4,000 employees will suffer a less rosy fate. In another announcement today, Nokia unveiled plans to begin consolidating its site operations to reduce operating expenses in Devices & Services by 1 billion euros (nearly $1.5B) for 2013 compared to 2010. This plan includes reducing Nokia's global workforce by around 4,000 employees by the end of next year. Most of the employee losses will occur in Denmark, Finland, and the U.K.
The personnel reductions will occur in phases through 2012, during which time Nokia will work on ramping up its Windows Phone 7 portfolio. According to the release, all employees affected by the layoffs will be allowed to stay on Nokia's payroll through the end of this year. Discussion with employee representatives has already begun, as mandated by country-by-country legal requirements.
"At Nokia, we have new clarity around our path forward, which is focused on our leadership across smart devices, mobile phones and future disruptions," Elop said in the press release. "However, with this new focus, we also will face reductions in our workforce. This is a difficult reality, and we are working closely with our employees and partners to identify long-term re-employment programs for the talented people of Nokia," adding that Nokia would be offering affected employees retraining and re-employment support.
In addition to the layoffs, Nokia will also be consolidating its research and product development sites. With clearly defined missions, some sites will expand, while many will face closure and downsizing.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - By showing off a phone with a flexible screen, Samsung is hinting at a day when we might fold up our large phone or tablet screens as if they were maps.
The Korean electronics company provided a glimpse of such a device at a keynote speech Wednesday at the International CES gadget show in Las Vegas. It's an annual showcase of the latest TVs, computers and other consumer-electronic devices.
WHAT IT IS: Brian Berkeley, head of Samsung Electronics Co.'s display lab in San Jose, Calif., demonstrated a phone that consists of a matchbox-sized hard enclosure, with a paper-thin, flexible color screen attached to one end. The screen doesn't appear flexible enough to fold in half like a piece of paper, but it could bend into a tube.
The company also showed a video of a future concept, with a phone-sized device that opens up like a book, revealing a tablet-sized screen inside.
HOW IT WORKS: The screen uses organic light-emitting diodes, or OLEDs. Only a thin layer of these chemicals is needed to produce a bright, colorful screen. They're used in many Samsung phones already, though with glass screens. For the bendable phone, Samsung laid the chemicals over thin plastic instead of glass. That's a trick you can't pull off with liquid crystals in standard displays.
WHY YOU'D WANT IT: You could pack a bigger screen in your pocket. In a more conventional application, Berkeley demonstrated a phone with a display that's rigid, but bent around the edges of the device, so it can show incoming messages even with a cover over the main screen. In short, OLEDs free designers to make gadgets with curved screens.
WHY IT MIGHT NOT WORK: It's tough to use a touch screen if it bends away from your finger. Flexible OLED screens have been demonstrated for years, but the OLED chemicals are extremely sensitive to oxygen, so they need to be completely sealed off from the air. Volume production of flexible displays that remain airtight has so far stumped engineers. Samsung's screens aren't yet flexible enough to fold, just bend.
AVAILABILITY: Samsung didn't say anything about when flexible displays might be commercialized.
"The concept of the flexible screen has been around for some time, but it finally looks as if Samsung is really going to deliver on that technology,'' said Steve Bell, a technology consultant and president of KeySo Global.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Topic Overview
What is seasonal affective disorder (SAD)?
Seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, is a type of depression that occurs during the same season each year. You may have SAD if you felt depressed during the last two winters but felt much better in spring and summer. Some people may have SAD during the summer months.
Anyone can get SAD, but it's more common in:
- Women.
- People who live far from the equator, where winter daylight hours are very short.
- People between the ages of 15 and 55. The risk of getting SAD for the first time goes down as you age.
- People who have a close relative with SAD.
SAD is sometimes called winter depression or seasonal depression.
What causes SAD?
Experts aren't sure what causes SAD. But they think it may be caused by a lack of sunlight. Lack of light may:
- Upset your "biological clock," which controls your sleep-wake pattern and other circadian rhythms.
- Cause problems with serotonin, a brain chemical that affects mood.
What are the symptoms?
If you have SAD, you may:
- Feel sad, grumpy, moody, or anxious.
- Lose interest in your usual activities.
- Eat more and crave carbohydrates, such as bread and pasta.
- Gain weight.
- Sleep more but still feel tired.
- Have trouble concentrating.
Symptoms come and go at about the same time each year. Most people with SAD start to have symptoms in September or October and feel better by April or May.
How is SAD diagnosed?
It can sometimes be hard to tell the difference between SAD and other types of depression because many of the symptoms are the same. To diagnose SAD, your doctor will ask if:
- You have been depressed during the same season and have gotten better when the seasons changed for at least 2 years in a row.
- You have symptoms that often occur with SAD, such as being very hungry (especially craving carbohydrates), gaining weight, and sleeping more than usual.
- A close relative—a parent, brother, or sister—has had SAD.
You may need to have blood tests to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms, such as low thyroid (hypothyroidism).
Your doctor may also do a mental health assessment to get a better idea of how you feel and how well you are able to think, reason, and remember.
How is it treated?
Light therapy is the main treatment for SAD. Medicines and counseling may also help.
Light therapy
Experts think light therapy works by resetting your biological clock. It helps most people who have SAD, and it's easy to use.
There are two types of light therapy:
- Bright light treatment. For this treatment, you place the light box at a certain distance from you on a desk or table. Then you sit in front of it while you read, eat breakfast, or work at a computer.
- Dawn simulation. For this treatment, a dim light goes on in the morning while you sleep, and it gets brighter over time, like a sunrise.
Talk to your doctor about light therapy, and follow the steps that he or she recommends.
Light boxes use fluorescent lights that are brighter than indoor lights but not as bright as sunlight. Ultraviolet lights, full-spectrum lights, tanning lamps, and heat lamps should not be used.
Light therapy is usually prescribed for 30 minutes to 2 hours a day. The amount of time depends on how strong the light is and on whether you are starting out or are have been using it for a while.
You may start to feel better within a week or so after you start light therapy. But you need to stay with it and use it every day until the season changes. If you don't, your depression could come back.
Antidepressant medicines may help people who have SAD. They may be used alone or with light therapy. The most common ones prescribed for SAD include:
- Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as paroxetine (Paxil) and sertraline (Zoloft). SSRIs are usually tried first.
- Other antidepressants, such as bupropion (Wellbutrin) and venlafaxine (Effexor).
If your doctor prescribes an antidepressant, be sure you take it the way you're told to. Do not stop taking it suddenly. This could cause side effects or make your depression worse. When you are ready to stop, your doctor can help you slowly reduce the dose to prevent problems.
Counseling may also help. Some types of counseling, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and interpersonal therapy, can help you learn more about SAD, how to manage your symptoms, and how to help prevent future episodes..
What can you do on your own to feel better?
Regular exercise is one of the best things you can do for yourself. Getting more sunlight may help too, so try to get outside to exercise when the sun is shining. Being active during the daytime, especially early in the day, may help you have more energy and feel less depressed.
- Moderate exercise such as walking, riding a stationary bike, or swimming is a great way to get started. But any activities that raise your heart rate—including daily chores—can help, especially if you can do them outdoors or near a sunny window.
- Try to do muscle-building exercises at least 2 times each week, such as weight training or stair climbing.
Moderate exercise is safe for most people. But it's always a good idea to talk to your doctor before you start an exercise program.
Some people try complementary treatments to help with SAD. One example is melatonin, a hormone that may help regulate your biological clock. If you want to use melatonin or other complementary treatments, be sure to check with your doctor first. These medicines may interact with other treatments.

Love, love all of these fab ideas! Especially love that quite a few are local goodies. I just bought round ice cube molds. I put pommogranite seeds and mint leaves inside, filled with water and froze. Will use for a special martini for my party tonight. Thought it was a cool idea and the possibilities are endless with what you can put inside. Here is the website I found them at: www.prepara.com and look for "ice balls". Have a great Sunday!

Love this list - truly inspiring! and the pictures are amazing!
One more beauty for the list: Michael Pollan & Maira Kalman's, "Food Rules" - a quirky condensed version of his common sense around eating & food, gorgeously accompanied by her soulfully illuminating illustrations. Check it out.
xoxox, Renee (jasper's mama) TKTC, Thanks! I keep wanting to come to Chicago. I keep hearing about all the great food you have there. Maybe when it's not winter;)?
Lisa,Yummy! Sounds like you will have a good party tonight. Thanks for sharing the inspiration.
Renee, We miss you guys so much. We were just talking of Jazzy today. We don't have "food rules". Sounds like a good stocking stuffer;)xxxxoooo
Kelvin - thanks! It was fun to mix things up this post.
M, isn't the Chemex rad! I've been eying them for years and I felt I "needed" one to photograph for this post. Good excuse, right?
Jennifer, Thanks! Yes, Heidi's books is so good. If no one buys it for you, maybe you should treat yourself;)

This is such a gorgeous list of gifts. I think it's hard to beat homemade presents at christmas, especially of the foodie variety, and love the suggestions you've made above, along with your gorgeous photos. Feeling very festive now!
ReplyDelete Thanks Lia! Isn't Heidi's book yummy? And I know how you feel about your cast iron... like an old friend, right?
Carolyn, I agree about Frog Hollow - always delish!
Thanks Ames! So sweet of you.
Kosberg, Thanks for linking to your lists. They are fantastic and your blog is beautiful!
thelittleloaf, Thanks! I'm glad to stir up that festive feeling;)
One more tip for local folks... my friend Cecile who owns Cecile Moochnek Gallery on 4th street reminded me to suggest the gift of ART. So true. And she has great gift suggestions. If you are local, check her out.
Happy holidays to all!
EI've been giving Granola as a Christmas gift for the past couple of years now. Delicious, and easy on depleted wallet:)
I love those Weck jars more every time I see them. I'm also incredibly curious about the douglas-fir tea, it sounds very interesting. We're re-watching Twin Peaks right now so I feel a need to boldly and gloriously complement doug-fir trees. Ho-hum:)
Everything is beautiful here. I feel fortunate to have a few cutting boards made by my father in my kitchen. It's comforting to have his work surrounding me every day, even if he's spatially far away !Oli, I'm glad to hear that the local/American thing resonates with you. It feels so good to support good peeps and we have a lot of power with our shopping dollar. There are amazing crafts people out there making wonderful things and I love how giving a gift is an opportunity to feel doublelly good. Happy holidays to you!
Emma, I can just imagine you with your dad's cutting boards.... I bet they instill a little magic in your cooking. Twin Peaks? I love it:) And you of all people would totally dig the Doug Fir tea! The Juniper Ridge folks make beautiful natural products - check them out. Though I am wondering if you can simple harvest and dry the needles and make your own brew. Hmmmmm. Happy holidays to you!!!
EJenn, you are so sweet:) Thanks for the compliment. And I love to hear that other people are baking up granola - it's so much better than most of the stale store bought stuff.
Tori, thanks!
A Palate and a Passport, I'm happy to be of help:)
Renee, You would love the Blackcreek cutting boards - they are dreamy.
ENo doug-firs here in New England to sneak some tips from unless I were to visit a Xmas tree plantation; that would be a bit naughty of me. But... I've made tea with various plants before (especially wintergreen), and I had a friend who made spruce beer with fresh spruce tips in the springtime.
Lots of great options - I will definitely check out Juniper Ridge! Happy holidays to you too:)Emma, Ohh wintergreen tea sounds good and spruce beer! We heard about Nettle beer an may give that a try and I like to brew up gingko and lemon verbena tea. There is so much good stuff out there in the woods to eat. Yum!
Lisa, Thanks! Aren't the cutting boards stunning? Happy holidays to you!

(Dammit, I'm not sure why this didn't post at 9a as intended. My bad. -Sax)
Bless that Franklin Stubbster. The SoSG one, that is.
It's been a cold, dark offseason for Sax here, really not wanting to engage in reading most Dodgers news given the oppressive shadow of Frank McCourt, his long protracted separation from the Dodgers' organization, and his grubby little fingers all over the parking lots of Chavez Ravine. I read great news about Clayton Kershaw and Matt Kemp--even potential 2012 batting champion James Loney--and I'm still finding it hard to get fired up for the 2012 season.
That is, until Senor Stubbs here launched yesterday's Game Thread.
Game Threads are back! Game Threads are back! Suddenly, there was something else to do at work (besides work, that is)! There was joy in Mudville! There were even happy thoughts listening to Charley and Rick calling the game on my new mlb.com At Bat app (only $15 for multiple devices this year, finally). Okay, so I got frustrated at Steiner / Monday again when I couldn't tell what was happening in the game itself, but still. It was something. It was the start.
It was hope. A New Hope, if you will.
The Dodgers took yesterday's game against the White Sox 6-4 and now sit squarely at top of the Cactus League standings (actually, they're up there with five other undefeated teams, two of which whom have two wins under their belts. But who's counting?). And today, the Dodgers take on the hated Giants. Baked Zito vs. Ted Lilly (who may also be baked, as far as I know)!
It's on, boys!

If you wonder what I cooked with this ingredient, then stay tuned as I'll soon blog ( this Friday, more exactly) about the delicious recipe I made!

Dorner's remains ID'd, cause of death unclear
Published 12:00 am Friday, February 15, 2013
LOS ANGELES (AP) Investigators determined fairly quickly that the burned human remains found after a shootout in Southern California mountains are those of Christopher Dorner, the ex-police officer suspected in a rampage that left four people dead. But the answer to a second question will likely prove more elusive how did he die?
Evidence such as descriptions from witnesses and the discovery of personal items, including a driver's license, already led authorities to figure that it was Dorner who exchanged heavy gunfire with San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies at a cabin Tuesday, killing one officer. Dorner never left as the cabin as it went up in flames.
But on Thursday the issue was officially put to rest when sheriff-coroner's spokeswoman Jodi Miller announced that dental examination had definitively shown the remains were Dorner's.
Virtually no other information was released. An autopsy report on the charred body was still being completed, and toxicology tests typically take several weeks to return results.
That means questions are likely to linger over which of three ways Dorner may have died: Was it the hail of gunfire that came from the deputies outside? Was it suicide by the single shot that was heard from inside the cabin as the flames began to rise? Or was it the flames themselves that engulfed both Dorner and the cabin?
The cause of the flames has remained in question in the days that followed Dorner's death on Tuesday.
After milder tear gas failed to bring Dorner out, deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas canisters into the cabin that were referred to as "burners" by deputies over the radio during the standoff and by Sheriff John McMahon at a subsequent news conference.
McMahon would only say that the fire broke out immediately after the canisters were sent in, stopping short of saying that they sparked the fire. He added that the burning of the cabin "was not on purpose."
"We did not intentionally burn down that cabin to get Mr. Dorner out," McMahon said.
Another news conference was scheduled for later Friday afternoon, but it was not clear what the department intended to reveal.
Meanwhile, court documents show Dorner gathered information on a women's basketball coach and her fiance before he apparently killed them earlier this month.
The Orange County Register reported that Irvine police believe Dorner researched Monica Quan, 28, and her boyfriend, Keith Lawrence, 27. The records also say Dorner may have had documents containing information about Quan and her family.
Police tied Dorner to the slayings after reading a manifesto he wrote in which he sought revenge against those he believed ended his law enforcement career. Quan's father represented Dorner during a disciplinary hearing.
The search for Dorner began last week after authorities said he had launched a deadly revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing, warning in the manifesto that he would bring "warfare" to LAPD officers and their families.
The manhunt for Dorner brought police to Big Bear Lake, 80 miles east of Los Angeles, after his burned-out pickup truck was found abandoned last week. His footprints disappeared on frozen soil and hundreds of officers who searched the area and checked out each building failed to find him.
Karen and Jim Reynolds were next to see him inside their cabin-style condo within 100 yards of a command post for the manhunt when they arrived Tuesday to ready it for vacationers.
Dorner, who at the time was being sought for three killings, confronted the couple with a drawn gun, "jumped out and hollered 'stay calm,"' Jim Reynolds said at a news conference.
His wife screamed and ran, but Dorner caught her, Reynolds said. The couple said they were taken to a bedroom where Dorner ordered them to lie on a bed and then on the floor. Dorner bound their arms and legs with plastic ties, gagged them with towels and covered their heads with pillowcases.
"I really thought it could be the end," Karen Reynolds said.
The couple believed Dorner had been staying in the cabin at least since Feb. 8, the day after his burned truck was found nearby. Dorner told them he had been watching them by day from inside the cabin as they did work outside. The couple, who live nearby, only entered the unit Tuesday.
"He said we are very hard workers," Karen Reynolds said.
After Dorner fled in their purple Nissan Rogue, Karen Reynolds managed to call 911 from a cellphone on the coffee table.
Police have not commented on the Reynolds' account. But the notion of him holed up just across the street from the command post was shocking to many, though not totally surprising to some experts familiar with the complications of such a manhunt.
"Chilling. That's the only word I could use for that," said Ed Tatosian, a retired SWAT commander for the Sacramento Police Department. "It's not an unfathomable oversight. We're human. It happens."
Law enforcement officers, who had gathered outside daily for briefings, were stunned by the revelation. One official later looking on Google Earth exclaimed that he'd parked right across the street from the Reynolds' cabin each day.
The sheriff's department has refused to answer questions about how one of the largest manhunts in years could have missed Dorner.
Timothy Clemente, a retired FBI SWAT team leader who was part of the search for Atlanta Olympics bomber Eric Rudolph, said searchers had to work methodically. When there's a hot pursuit, they can run after a suspect into a building. But in a manhunt, the search has to slow down and police have to have a reason to enter a building.
"You can't just kick in every door," he said.
