Specific Heads, Specific Expressions, Specific Gestures and Mannerisms
But maybe the one thing I do differently than most cartoons is the acting. I'm not that influenced by cartoon acting. I find it too generic and restrictive.
My acting influences come mainly from live action actors and real people I've known in my life.
Real life is a lot more varied, subtle and nuanced than most cartoon acting.
Let's take Kirk Douglas as an example. He is one of my favorite actors.
First of all, Kirk has a really unique look, the equivalent of a character design in cartoons. Animation tends to reuse the same basic character designs over and over again. Everyone has the same eyes, the same mouth, the same square fingered hands etc.
Kirk as a general character design is the hero type. In cartoons most hero types have the same face and body and just wear different outfits. Kirk has a specific head shape, specific eyes, nose, chin, hole in chin and even the musculature of his face is completely unique to him. His teeth are recognizable and his lips are totally specific. Even his body - while generally being of the manly heroic type is a one-of-a-kind variation of it. He has a really wide back, skinny waist, skinny arms and legs and a giant head. So...not only is he built as a unique individual, he also moves all his unique features in original ways. For 2 reasons:
1) His anatomy physically has to move according to the way it's built.
2) He has extreme talent and is one inventive sonuvabitch.
In Detective Story, Kirk is a self righteous police detective who hates criminals and thinks they are scum. He is street wise but also has a very sarcastic side as you can see from some of his expressions here. Sarcasm is an emotion that is hard to draw and animate even in its most general form, but Kirk displays it with great charisma and confidence and in ways unique to himself.
When you watch Kirk in action, his changes from expression to expression are fluid; they go through intermediate transitions that are unique and fascinating. He doesn't just inbetween from happy to sad.
Look at that mouth shape! I like the one hanging tooth on the upper right and the group of teeth on the lower left. Who in animation would think of that? -especially for a heroic character?
Here's the Burl Ives all properly raised children know and love.
As a general type, he is the jolly fat guy, but everything else about him is totally unique-his face, his voice, his personality, his expressions and mannerisms. He's one of the most unique characters in entertainment I can think of.Even his hands are completely specific shapes.
You have to see how his tongue flops around in his mouth when he sings. If you come to one of my seminars you will.
...sorry for the cursor grabs...
Here's the evil side of Burl from "The Big Country" He's actually not evil, he's just a poor, rough hewn but ultimately noble character. That's the kind of character a writer can write with a handful of adjectives. But what Burl brings to the character is so much more - a lot of layers and specific nuances that can't be described in words. They can only be acted - and only by him.
Here's his son, played by Chuck Connors- another generally heroic type but with another completely unique character design. In this movie he plays the villain. Raised by Burl on a poor ranch he is huge, strong, handsome, a bully but ultimately a sniveling coward. Again, the adjectives don't begin to describe the gripping specificity of Connors' brilliant performance.
The chemistry between Chuck and Burl is wonderful! They should have spun them off into a TV sitcom because every scene they are in together is gold.
Here's Chuck trying to kill his loving Pop.
Here's that rough-hewn gruff powerful Dad cradling the beloved son he had to shoot down like a dog.
Kirk punch drunk. One of the most intense scenes in movie history.
Robert Ryan is another actor that I love. He is not quite as richly layered or talented as Kirk or Burl, but he is a completely unique character.
He oozes charisma and you can't take your eyes off him in his best films.
Here's a good comparison of two heroic types. Robert Mitchum and Robert Ryan are both big, burly and manly but still look completely different. They are both unique physical specimens. They also act completely differently.
Robert Ryan is a lot more active as an actor than Robert Mitchum. He really thinks about his performances and colors them with very specific second layers.
Here he is having a confrontation with Mitchum. He could have just read the script and made all the expositional story points, but instead he adds a really fun layer to the performance. He uses an apple as a prop and completely violates the damn thing in front of your eyes.
You have to see this in action to get the full effect. He makes you feel really sorry for that apple.
Peter Lorre has to be one of the very best actors in movie history. He has a million subtle things going on in his head. Both on top of the skin and underneath.
I'll show you the incredible wealth of expressions Peter can concoct for just a single scene and a few lines of dialogue.

Goddamn. Burl Ives still creeps the hell out of me. I thought I had gone past that when my childhood ended. That huge face...
Just a suggestion John - when next you have something to promote, you should try and get on the Adam Carolla Podcast, a very popular venue. Saying that because he often rants about how terrible a lot of Hanna Barbara was when he was a kid, and I bet you could offer him a lot of insight into that, and maybe even Filmations "Crapmation" period.
- BlakeJ said...
Awesome post, John! For a curious person like me, would you care to divulge the main movies these photos are from? I think "Detective Story" is where R. Ryan violates the apple, but what about the punch drunk Kirk Douglas?
Thanks for all the awesome and insightful posts!
Your Fan,
- andrea said...
I love all these classic actors;
I would study them all the time.
I recently did a rough caricature of Kirk Douglas. If you wouldn't mind in please taking a quick look, I'd appreciate any feedback.
- Pokey said...
Ren's three favorite actors!!!! Haaa-haaa-Haa Haa, [classic Peter Lorre sinister laugh].
- daniel said...
aww, man. i wish there was something like an animation con. in mexico or even just animation.
hey.. john, have you seen the new top cat movie,...
cough(i know people who worked on it)cough. jk(as in just kidding)
that is the animation that mexico achieves, theres no way we´re having a convention around it.
btw that very same thing you say about character expresions is the reason i watch live action films.
- Elana Pritchard said...
This is the kind of acting I want to do. I make faces for hours in the mirror practicing for the day when I stumble into some situation where I actually get to use them.
This kind of acting has always been rare for women though. Well, it used to be rare and now it pretty much doesn't exist. Someone decided that too much character in a woman's face will make people uncomfortable or something, I guess. Usually the best outlet we're afforded is eye acting.

looking forward to here you TALKING about this, john.
will you allow some time for "fan photos" in fredrikstad?
- Juz Capes said...
You gotta add Lee Marvin and Richard Widmark to that list.
'House of Bamboo' has a amazing Robert Ryan scene in it.
What do you think of Sam Fuller movies John? He has fantastic characters, 'Shock Corridor' is just incredibly intense.
Oh and Gregory Peck.
- kurtwil said...
Fascinating post, JK. Thank you.
And yes, I do see these influences in your work.
Did you enjoy Burl Ive's performance in EAST OF EDEN?
- Isaak said...
What do you think of Adventures of Robin Hood? Errol Flynn is very good in it and with the technicolor it looks like a real-life cartoon (in a good way). The sword fighting is brilliant.
- David said...
Good theory. Would love to see this kind of "specific acting" used more in animation.
It's great to talk theory , but honestly I'm just not seeing these fine theories actually put into practice in any animation being made these days.
- JohnK said...
That's why I'm going to show some at the festivals.
- Lamont Cranston said...
I've seen Peter Lorre copied countless times in numerous cartoons, he had a very distinctive voice and mannerisms
- Eddie Fitzgerald said...
Great pictures! The problem with drawing acted faces is that, if you're not used to that kind of sketching, the drawings can appear very ugly.
When inbetweens are ugly it doesn't matter much because the held poses can bring the character back on model, but nuanced held poses are more problematic.
Don't get me wrong...I strongly believe in acted characters, and am not overly worried about being off model. I'm just saying that cartoonists who are committed to real acting will need practice in order to exaggerate without being ugly.
- Isaak said...
Have you seen Spongebob Squarepants the Movie? It is the only animated film I have seen made after 1960 that gives the characters personalities.
Good luck on the movie
- Nate said...
John - are there any specific sequences with these actors that you pulled directly into your animation? I'd love to watch them side by side and see which choices you made.
Did you pick specific frames and caricature them into key poses?
- Amir Avni said...
Great post!
Peter Lorre is about to channel Ren in a few frames :)
The unique and fluid transitional expression is something I like in all your favorite actor, I especially enjoy it in Jackie Gleason
- Mykal said...
Fascinating. Thank you, again, for an interesting lesson.
- J C Roberts said...
I've always found your use of expressions to go way beyond typical the cartoon standards and really show those influences. There's still a heightened sense of key poses, but you and the artists you employed packed a lot more natural acting emotion into those poses. I could always tell there was a great eye for the nuances.
I still remember thinking Stimpy's last pose in "Stimpy's Invention" was a perfect take for his reaction to Ren. It really captured the confused, nervous inner reaction along with the show of support he's trying to put up. And that's just one example. "Sven Hoek" alone has tons more.
Being able to sell that whole range with a few simple lines is sharp skill. It was always clear that a keen eye for expression was in full use. The type of acting done in that era was itself a bit more animated, so it lends itself well as a source of inspiration.
- Bwanasonic said...
Love all these guys. I'd love to see the day where animation strives for individuality of characters. Which are your favorite women of this era? I'm partial to Ida Lupino, Gloria Grahame and Claire Trevor. And that's just star billing. Beulah Bondi, Una O'Connor and Billie Burke are all great.
- Bwanasonic said...
John, I'd love to see you animate Charles Bickford's hair! Talk about a unique individual! He was acquitted of murder at around 14, because he shot the guy who ran over his dog, and was mauled by a lion on the set of of one of his films.
- HemlockMan said...
Wow. I've seen all of the movies/performances you cite. Chuck Connors always scared me. Even when I was a kid and he was playing the guys I was supposed to like and admire. Instead, I was generally scared of them.
Peter Lorre was probably one of the best actors of the 20th century. He was just amazing. My favorite of his performances was in SECRET AGENT playing the quite horrid and dangerous character known as "The General". Great humping Jove he was scary good in that.
And I love the story of how he came to travel to the UK to be in Hitchcock movies. When asked if he spoke English, he lied like an asthma hound. He couldn't speak English at all! What balls.
- kurtwil said...
How does one achieve the every-frame fluidity of live animation without having to draw every single frame?
If you're drawing key poses from live action, to get full frame animation you either use inbetweening or intelligent use of CGI techniques to fill in the poses between drawings. Or otherwise accept the "posey" results (twos will strobe in some cases, no matter how good the artist is).
Is drawing every single frame the only way to do nuanced classic animation? And if so, where's the money going to come from to pay for the time to do that?
- JohnK said...
I do it a lot, not all the time though.
The Simpsons thing has lots of stuff on 1s.
- Mister 1-2-3-4 said...
Great post, John! Thanks, and I'm looking forward to the one on Peter Lorre.
- hazzard65 said...
Kirk Dougles of course why didn't I realise before! I always wondered who Powdered Toast man reminded me of!

HILLSDALE � Looking to keep itself among the elite programs in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Hillsdale College football team has reloaded.
The newest class of Chargers were announced during Wednesday's college football National Signing Day. Hillsdale landed 24 new players from six different states.
The new group joins a Hillsdale College team coming off a 7-4 season. In the past four seasons, the Chargers have either made the NCAA Division II playoffs or won a GLIAC North Division championship.
"We look to get the best we can get, and we feel this is a good group," Hillsdale coach Keith Otterbein said. "We had a smaller number of seniors graduate last year, so we had limited money to give out. But we got a lot out of it, and we're pleased with the quality of the guys we got."
The Chargers landed a one county player in Hillsdale High School senior Zach VanOrman, who was recruited to boost the offensive line. Last fall, VanOrman helped the Hornets to an 11-1 season, a Lenawee County Athletic Association title and a district championship. Hillsdale's offense averaged 30 points and 322.6 yards per game, including 216.2 rushing yards per game.
VanOrman was a First-Team All-State selection by the Detroit Free Press and will play in the Michigan High School Football Coaches Association All-Star Game this June.
"Zach could possibly be phenomenal because of his frame and athleticism," Otterbein said. "His upside is really good. We've had a good run of success with Hillsdale High kids and they've been good contributors."
Among those joining VanOrman on the offensive line are Nick Chappell (Fenton), Daniel Drummond (Pittsford, N.Y.) and Kyle Marsh (Birmingham Brother Rice).
"All of the kids seem like good fits, and we were direct in our communication them as to what we expect here," Otterbein said. "We're proud of the kids we already have and we're proud to add this group to that. Our coaches do a good job in the recruiting aspect."
Two quarterbacks are part of the class in Joe Kutil (Waterford Notre Dame Prep) and David Ritchie (Riverview Gabriel Richard). Spencer Nehls (Grand Rapids Forest Hills Central) and Christian VanDeBurg (Grand Rapids Christian) will add depth at tailback, while Matthew Hazelton (Lakeland, Fla.) was recruited as a H-back.
Timmy Mills (Lafayette, Ind./Central Catholic) is a wide receiver and Austin Adams (Medina, Ohio/Highland) and Jake Bull (Hudsonville) are incoming tight ends.
"We have a good blend of size and speed at all positions," Otterbein said. "These are good football players who have natural instincts on the field."
The defensive line welcomes Jordan Harlamert (Coldwater, Ohio) and Casey Schukow (Saline). Add deep class of linebackers include Chuck Ahee (Macomb Chippewa Valley), Matt Hall (Grand Rapids Christian), Chris Koenigsknecht (Flint Powers) and Scott Penola (Zionsville, Ind.).
The secondary unit will add Ron Branch (Stevensville Lakeshore), Nathan Hollern (Grand Rapids Catholic Central), Will Jones (Lafayette, Ind./Central Catholic), Tim Pearce (Tatum, N.M.), Doug Phillips III (Armada) and John Terry (Tecumseh).
The class will also boost Hillsdale's academic reputation. They enter with an average overall high school grade point average of 3.74 and an average ACT score of 27.
"The academics have become harder since I got here, and the kids find out the value of a degree from here," Otterbein said. "The kids have already developed discipline both academically and athletically, and they're leaders at their schools."
Over the past two seasons, eight Hillsdale College players have participated in National Football League camps.
The Chargers are scheduled to open the 2013 season Sept. 7.
Chargers welcome 24 football recruits

What does Dodge City have in common with New Orleans, Dallas, Philadelphia and Seattle?
They're all stops on this year's tour for the Eli Young Band, along with about 25 other towns.
The Eli Young Band is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15 at the United Wireless Arena.
The Globe spoke with Chris Thompson, the band's drummer, by phone early Friday morning.
The band was at the Nashville airport, waiting to fly home after several days in the recording studio.
"We're working on our next album," Thompson said.
The band is evolving their recording style and working with a new producer, Justin Neibank.
"We're focusing on getting the sound of the four of us on the record," Thompson said. "Maybe with an organ or some acoustic guitar thrown in."
The band is trying to capture those moments that happen in every show.
"Basically, we're trying to sound like us," Thompson said.
The band has an impressive list of previous albums and awards. Their hit, "Crazy Girl," earned them their first platinum record and sold over 1.5 million downloads.
The band's first album captured the live experience of their concerts. Their next effort focused more on getting a great studio sound.
"Now we're trying to combine the energy from the concerts with the different approach you take in the studio," Thompson said. "We've spent the past two years writing songs for this new album."
All four members of the band, who have been playing together since they met in college in Texas, are songwriters and contribute to the process.
"Our producer will send us great songs by outside writers. Then we pick a few songs to start on and we just talk about tempos and moods and then start jammin' — we're a band, that's what we do," Thompson said.
The jam sessions are taped and the band listens, analyzes and chooses the things that are working.
"We like to explore each song," Thompson said.
The band has blocked the whole month of January to be back in the studio and they expect the new album to be released this summer.
On a roll
The band came off of a tour with Rascal Flatts at the end of October.
"We had a couple of great sold out shows up in the northeast," Thompson said.
Their performance at Terminal 5 in New York City was sold out and well-received.
"You don't think of New York as a country town — there's no country station there — but we sold out and the crowd was singing back to us — it was great," Thompson said.
But an even bigger thrill was waiting for the band this week.
"We had just finished our first day of rehearsing in the studio. We had a great day and we were feeling good. The studio is kind of isolated and they have cabins you can stay in — it's a great place to get a lot of work done. Then we got an E-mail from our label telling us we'd gotten two GRAMMY award nominations. It was unusual that we'd all be in the same place to get the news. That made it extra special," Thompson said.
The band was nominated for Best Country Duo/Group performance for "Even If It Breaks Your Heart," and the song, by Will Hoge and Eric Paslay, was nominated for Best Country Song.
The GRAMMY awards will air on Feb. 10.
Meanwhile, the Eli Young Band will be playing at a town near you.
Tickets for the band's Dodge City concert range from $25 to $40 and can be purchased online at www.ticketmaster.com or at the United Wireless Arena box office.

So this being the last week of our "Please don't send us any books" period for now, we naturally had a donation of roughly 100 boxes arrive Tuesday morning. This beats the 59 boxes we had from one donor on Thursday last week, and the 57 we had on Monday. The Monday donation has a special place in our hearts—or somewhere—because the volunteer picking them up managed to run over his toe with a cart of books. This is exciting because it is the same toe he broke three weeks ago while picking up books. But, thanks to this 100-box delivery, the poisonous complexion of his toe is no longer our main concern.
(Yes, banana nut quesadilla, that was a joke about toe-main poisoning. This is a funnier joke when spoken aloud, but not much funnier. Don't worry about his toe. When I asked this week if it was better, he said "Can't kick." Let's get back to business, shall we?)
These books had been in storage for some time, and showed signs of needing Uncle Blogsy's advice from top to bottom. So, on the assumption that some of you are NOT bringing me books this week, but instead putting them into storage, I will pass along what this donor should have considered several years ago.
The boxes on the top are going to get dusty: it would be a good thing to have lids on them. Farther down in the stack, your books will be protected by the boxes above—at least in terms of dust. They put the lightest things on top, of course, so these open boxes were full of videocassettes, which now bear a layer of dust several years deep.
Those boxes on the bottom are going to have six feet of boxes stacked on top of them, if you do these things the way this donor did. So it would be a nice consideration for whoever undoes the pile to make sure these important foundation boxes HAVE SIDES. Boxes without sides will have a more difficult time sustaining all that weight than boxes WITH sides.
CDs, which come in plastic cases that break if a chickadee frowns at them, should not be packed in a box at the bottom of a stack if six feet of boxes are stacked on top of them.
Boxes at the bottom of the stack should be filled as full as you can do it. This creates a solid base. Creating a solid base, rutabaga roux, is a wonderful thing as it prevents a hundred pounds of boxes from toppling over when the boxes next to the pile are removed.
In fact, almost all your boxes of books should be filled as full as you can fill them. Leaving empty space in a box gives the books a chance to shift while you are preparing to stack another box on top of them. This book, having shifted, regrets having done so when the weight of boxes above presses it into place and, if it has fallen between two stacks of books at an angle, bends the book into an L shape. But it is too late, alas, for regrets, and the book is trapped in that posture until some kindly person takes the mountain apart.
The weight of the boxes is best allowed to rest on books which are lying flat: not spine up, not spine down, and not standing upright. Especially if the box has not been filled completely, this presents books which have been pressed into the shape of the letter S, and sometimes into a lower-case r. You may, if you wish, try to make an entire alphabet out of bent books, but in this case you should donate them to the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Finally, if you have a hundred or so boxes stacked up for a long time in a dusty place, boxes which are crumpling under the weight of the boxes above and crushed by having gravity pull them against the badly packed box below, it is best not to decide the Newberry really needs to have these on a day when the heat index is over 95, in a week when the Book Fair has said it would rather not get books. THIS will prevent large people coming to your house and…oh, I'm sorry. They can't actually show up until after Labor Day, and telling you about it now would spoil the story on the morning news.

Six individuals face felony meth charges after two separate police investigations led to their arrests. On April 8 at around 9 p.m.
Six individuals face felony meth charges after two separate police investigations led to their arrests. On April 8 at around 9 p.m., Ravenswood Police Patrolmen A.R. Boggess and J.B. Thompson were on routine patrol and observed a yellow Mitsubishi Lancer with expired registration.
The officers performed a traffic stop on the vehicle at the intersection of routes 68 and 33.
Three individuals inside the vehicle were Megan Renee Casto, 32,of Ripley, Robert Lawrence Diddle, 32, of Middleport, OH, and Mark Davey Wolfe, 27, of Racine, OH. Officers Boggess and Thompson executed a field interview with the occupants.They determined that the suspects were behaving in suspicious manner.
The two officers gained permission to search the vehicle and subsequently found numerous items associated with a clandestine meth lab in the trunk of the car.
Officers Boggess and Thompson stated that all of the ingredients necessary for a one-pot "shake and bake" meth lab were present. Subsequently, Officers arrested Casto, Diddle, and Wolfe for operating an alleged clandestine laboratory.
In subsequent interviews with Detective Ross Mellinger of the Jackson County Sheriff;s Department, Casto allegedly admitted to being a meth user and trading components for finished meth product. She also allegedly claimed that Hayes and Diddle were meth cooks using the shake and bake method of manufacturing meth.
The three arrested were transported to South Central Regional Jail where they are held in lieu of a quarter million dollar bond each.
This arrest came on the heels of yet another large drug seizure in Ravenswood.
On Sunday, April 7, Patrolman Bobby Knox performed a traffic stop and seized almost 100 grams of marijuana from Scott Zecheriah. Zecheriah was also arrested and transported to the regional jail in lieu of bond.
Three individuals face felony charges of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine meth lab and exposing a child to meth manufacturing after their arrest March 27.
Cody F. Hayes, 23, of Cottageville, Felisha L. Hoselton, 21, of Murraysville, and Harvey J. Dilley, Jr., 34, of Ripley were arrested following a search of a vacant dwelling owned by Sheriff Tony Boggs' uncle, a nearby mobile home and an adjacent vehicle.
At around 2:44 p.m. on March 27, Sheriff Boggs received a telephone call reporting a break-in at the vacant dwelling and that two individuals, identified by the caller as "Cody and Dilley," were inside cooking meth with the use of an extension cord run from a nearby mobile home to the vacant house.
Detective Ross Mellinger and Sgt. Eric Cullen of the Jackson County Sheriff's Department responded tio the scene and were met in the doorway of the mobile home by Felisha Hoselton and her five-month-old child and Cody Hayes. A third individual, identified as Harvey Joe Dilley, Jr., had apparently fled out the back door of the trailer.
A subsequent search of the nearby vacant house disclosed what the investigators described as "a station for manufacturing meth" including a two-burner hot plate, denatured alcohol, vinyl tubing, gas generator, lye, mason jars and more along with other ingredients. An extension cord ran from the hot plate to the mobile home.
Meth-related items were also discovered in a search of the mobile home, including coffee filters, white powdery substances, hypodermic needles, processed iodine crystals, red-stained latex gloves and more.
Investigators noted that Hayes' hands were heavily stained allegedly from red phosphorous and iodine extractions.
Meth-related items were also discovered in the adjacent vehicle by Deputy George Burnem and his new K-9 partner.
In interviews, Hoselton allegedly admitted to recently purchasing both pseudophedrine and matches at two Ripley businesses, and stated that Hayes and Dilley had also manufactured meth at another undisclosed Flatwoods Road location.
Hayes, Hoselton and Dilley were subsequently arrested and charged with felony operating or attempting to operate a clandestine laboratory and felony exposure of children to meth manufacturing. Bond for each was set at $250,000.
Hayes and Dilley remain lodged in the South Central Regional Jail in lieu of bond.

Things do keep coming in, even as we start to clear the decks for the main event. Just this Wednesday, we turned up a copy of the Grass Cookbook, a fine old bit of sixties nostalgia which suggests that you smoke a bit first to make sure of its potency before using it as an ingredient.
Oh, by the way, we'd really rather not have any donations between the Fourth of July and Labor Day. This gives us time to clear up what we have and hold a Book Fair and then clean up after ourselves.
If you like racehorses, you might consider the charms of American Roadsters and Trotting Horses, an 1877 study of the pedigrees of American racing stallions, illustrated with "photo-views", whatever those may be: they're slick and in color but they're certainly not photographs by my understanding of the word. Anyway, there are all these neat pictures of horses.
We will, of course, accept your books if you drive up to the library with them. Don't believe what anyone else tells you: we will not chase you off. No matter HOW much your donation gets in our way and breaks our hearts and keeps us from doing the job at hand, we promise to smile and not tell you what we think of you.
If you're more into dogs, we have 1891's American Book of the Dog, a 700-page volume in which 45 different breeds are each discussed by an appropriate expert, from the Great Dane to the Pug. The gilt illustration of the cover, showing a mastiff nose to nose with a greyhound is alone worth the price of admission. Just got that in mid-June.
What I mean you to understand, see, is that if it's a matter of cleaning out a deceased relative's apartment or getting some books cleared away before a lease ends in July, we do understand it's an emergency and we'll take your books. It's just that we're really, really busy, and we have lots of books as it is, so if you can possibly hold off, we'd appreciate it.
And somebody left a box of books on the dock last week, in which we found the 1744 edition of Samuel Butler's Hudibras, a lengthy work mocking the supporters of Oliver Cromwell, with savage illustrations to match. It's always exciting to get a book that commands a four-figure price this close to the Fair.
If you really want to give books to help out the library, almost any month is better than July. We won't really have time to process anything much, and we'll just put it to one side, and the chance is, that in all the fun and confusion, it'll get mixed with the leftovers from the sale and just get sold when our leftover-buyer comes for the stuff the charities didn't take.
We have some of the broadsides printed by Ralph Newman of Lyndon Johnson's speech on Memorial Day, 1863, as part of the 100th anniversary of the Gettysburg address and also as part of the Kennedy administration's long-awaited declaration of its stand on human rights.
I KNOW you've been saving all these books and thought July was the very best time possible, and I thank you for your generosity, but really, I have to move a hundred tables and three hundred bookcases and 2500 boxes of books and a couple hundred boxes of posters and prints, and records and CDs and videos, and games and puzzles, and what with the fact that I hate to miss a good book and will look through your box and then have to find a place to put it, your donation will just take up time and space we can't afford right now, as well as aggravating those people who think I take up too much space as it is and whose goodwill is essential to a successful event, so, please, could you just lay off until September?
Maybe military oddities are your thing. We have a nifty collection of small books meant for children during World War II, all about the Coast Guard and the Army Air Corps (Hap Arnold wrote the intro to that one) and Motorized Artillery. We also just received an ashtray made by some Marine to celebrate the 178th birthday of the Corps in 1953. The Marine in question was apparently in Korea at the time. A Navy vet who was willing to look over the ashtray has given it as his opinion that it is brass, and made from a shell casing. You won't find THAT in just any book fair in Chicago. And it came in last week, just when we're starting to discourage donations
I can't wait to see what comes in next. I hope it's nothing.

With so many bands trekking to Austin, Texas, for next weeks overcrowded showcase of all things music, otherwise known as South by Southwest, some do well to turn their trip into a tour.
For those who love the promise and hipster credentials of seeing the next big thing before they actually are, but dont want to deal with the mess of musical snobbery that is SxSW, bands that play on their way to Austin give us a chance to catch an up-and-comer before they blow up, get big and inevitably break up.
Opting for the local over the express is the plan for many bands on the indie label 20 Sided Records, whose itinerary from California to Texas includes a stop in Durango. The 20 Sided Records Pre-SxSW Party on Sunday at The Summit will feature the San Francisco bands Couches and LI XI, Ash Reiter from Oakland, Calif., Former Friends of Young Americans from Phoenix, and local rock bands Black Market Electric and The Freeman Social.
Leading the tour is David Mitchell, frontman for Couches and founder of 20 Sided Records. Mitchells ties to Durango go back well before his previous band Slow Trucks played the Derailed Saloon two years ago. The musician grew up visiting his grandparents in Bayfield and skateboarding in Durango. He has always assessed our town as a place with a music scene that is yet discovered. His band Couches, the headliner, has been around for about only four months; their sound is a throwback to early 90s college rock, citing bands such as Pavement and Built to Spill as audio influences.
His record label is a business that he is running as more of a collective than a corporation. It is a labor of love, favoring the do-it-yourself approach to everything and not being driven by a dollar sign. It is that approach that has solidified many a band into a realm of respect among music lovers. Resisting the bankroll that often comes with altering your sound to sell records may not pay the bills, but it does gain the artist props from fans and critics in an industry driven by profit.
Everybody with 20 Sided is hard-working and doesnt really care about getting famous or anything like that, Mitchell said from his home in California. Its all about playing music, enjoying the music and touring and seeing the countryside, and meeting awesome people and seeing bands that you enjoy yourself as a musician.
The mission of labels like 20 Sided is quality. While major labels struggle to provide mediocre crap for the masses much like a fat-laden fast food chain, the smaller labels like 20 Sided Records dedicated to the craft will be the ones serving up the quality cuisine.
The cool thing about it is, if you create a good name for a record label or a collective, it will stay around, Mitchell said. Bands come and go, but if the collective stays strong, thats what we want. We want to stay around so we can put out good music.

State Rep. Darryl Scott (D-Dover) easily defeated Republican Sam Chick in the 31st District with 62.6 percent of the vote, according to state election results.
Incumbent State Rep. Darryl Scott (D-Dover) won 62.6 percent of the vote to easily win re-election for the Delaware Senate's District 31 over Republican challenger Sam Chick.
Scott received 4,809 votes, and Chick received 2,877 votes, according to unofficial results posted by the Delaware Department of Elections for Kent County.
Chick ran because he believed the state House of Representatives could have used a fiscally conservative voice to do away with wasteful spending and not go along with the Democratic majority most of the time.
But Scott proudly ran for re-election on his record, including legislation he had passed to enhance quality of life for Delawareans.
"I am proud of the accomplishments that include the creation of the Inspire scholarship and extended funding for the SEED scholarship that together provided thousands of Delaware students the opportunity to attend college, tax incentives to bring new businesses and ultimately more jobs to Delaware," he had said.

The joys of a winter routine hospital appointmentDecember 23, 2011 at 9:03 pm | Posted in Me, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) | 1 Comment
Tags: arthritis, consultant, diagnosis, doctor, GP, hospital, joint pain, R.A., RA, rheumatoid, Rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatology, stress, weather, work
I really hate the winter half of my six-monthly hospital appointments. I suppose it could be worse. I have the nurse practitioner visit (usually bad) in summer (not so bad), and the consultant or registrar visit (usually OK) in winter (not so good), so you could say it balances out. I have just had my visit to the register – a very nice young lady who, while obviously struggling with the basics of the English language, still clearly had an excellent grasp of autoimmune diseases! It took rather a long time to find any of that out though.
At the risk of sounding like one of those very bad school essays ('What I did on my holidays: I got up at 4am. Mummy was cross and said go back to bed. I got up again at 6am. We left the house at 7am. We arrived in Wales at 11:30 am' etc.) here's why I hate the winter appointment. I left work at 10:15 for what should have been an approximately half-hour drive to the hospital for an appointment a bit after 11. Why leave such a long time? Because it's December. The weather was a bit rubbish and if you have an appointment you can guarantee to get stuck behind something slow. I did. Then there's the car parking – always fun. I struck gold in the third car-park I tried. As you can imagine, after driving round three car parks, all for several minutes, I was starting to cut it fine, but as soon as I reached the Rheumatology Department I realised I need not have worried. The waiting room was heaving! I handed in my appointment letter, took my seat and waited … and waited … and waited. The usual charmless nurselet called me in, did the 'weigh and wee' and then I got sent to the equally busy inner weighting room … where I waited … and waited … and waited.
After about an hour a nurse came out and wrote next to my consultant's name on the notice board 'running one hour late'. Twenty-five minutes or so after that, I finally got seen. Fortunately I'd taken in a good book. Unfortunately, as it wasn't so cold as last year, and they were probably even more short-staffed, no one offered us a drink. I hadn't had time for a drink on arrival because it was time to check in, so I was a bit parched.
Useful appointment with nice registrar followed, which culminated in a further referral (who knows where, who knows when … but no hurry, nothing urgent!) and a blood test. 'Will you give me a form so that I can get the test at my GP?' I asked. 'No, no,' she said, no doubt intending to be most helpful, 'you have it here. Just go to the blood test department …'
So, by now thirsty and pretty peckish too, but thinking I'd better get this done before heading for a café, I went and found the blood test department. Guess what? The waiting room was heaving AGAIN. That's another reason for hating the December appointment. People get ill in the winter!
I went up to reception and got a ticket – 73. The number just called was 63. Only ten, I thought. Surely it won't be that long. 'What's the waiting time likely to be, just roughly?' I asked the receptionist. 'Hmm,' she said. 'Could be up to 45 minutes … but it might be much quicker.' Aaaaaaaaaaaargh. 45 minutes? Aaaaaaaaaaargh! And we were so busy at work too. So I phoned the duty junior penguin at work and went 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh' down the phone at her. (It's in the job description – 'be prepared to listen to senior penguin going aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh periodically'.)
As it turned out though, the queue did go down quickly. All of a sudden they were charging through people and I was the only one left, and then my number came up, and in I went to be processed. (It did feel a bit like that this time, but given the numbers they were having to get through, I can't really blame them!)
And so back home, stuck behind another slow lorry most of the way and then, somewhat peculiarly, a slow ambulance! I eventually got back into work at around 2.15.
Four hours out of work: total time with medical staff, approximately 15 minutes. Frustration factor: high.
Merry Christmas, Felis Navidad, Feliz Natal and Happy Chanukah to all.

Fans of pit barbecue will soon have a new destination to satisfy their craving for a variety of smoked meats and traditional sides in the heart of downtown Hendersonville.
Fans of pit barbecue will soon have a new destination to satisfy their craving for a variety of smoked meats and traditional sides in the heart of downtown Hendersonville.
Moe's Original Bar B Que opened its first North Carolina location in Asheville over two years ago and will have a new restaurant at 114 N. Main St. in the former T's Blue Note sometime in February, according to owner David Rice.
Smoked pork, ribs, chicken and turkey will be some of the sizzling items grilled in the pit and served alongside Southern-style side orders such as baked beans, slaw and potato salad.
Patrons can also bring barbecue home in large quantities, and Moe's pitmasters will cater parties and other gatherings.
Rice said he decided to open the Main Street location because he saw a lot of Hendersonville residents travel to the Asheville location at Biltmore Village.
"We heard a desire and a demand for it in Hendersonville," said Rice, owner of both Asheville and Hendersonville restaurants.
The eatery will have several TVs for sports enthusiasts and host low-key acoustic sessions as entertainment.
"We are more of a family restaurant and we want to keep that environment," Rice added. "We are not going to be a nightclub. We are really excited about being part of the community."
Moe's has several franchises throughout the country, including Alabama, Colorado, Georgia and Maine.
Fortune Asian
Fortune Asian opened recently at 1730 Asheville Highway near Patton Park in Hendersonville.
The restaurant offers Chinese, Thai and Hibachi menu items. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday, noon until 10 p.m.; and Sunday from noon to 9:30 p.m. Phone number: 828-692-9882.

HILLSDALE � A fast start helped the North Adams-Jerome High School girls basketball team break out of its struggles in a big way.
With a more consistent offense complimenting their best defensive effort of the season, the Rams cruised to a 42-17 victory over the Will Carleton Academy Cougars in a non-conference game Monday evening.
North Adams-Jerome (3-8) came out of the blocks strong and was never threatened in the contest. Controlling the game at both ends of the floor, the Rams raced to a 22-3 lead by the end of the first quarter.
"We played more consistent in the first quarter than we have this season, and we shot better from the perimeter," North Adams-Jerome coach Doug Dospoy said.
The game slowed down in the second quarter, but North Adams carried a 28-9 lead into halftime.
After the Rams extended their lead to 25 points in the third quarter, the teams played a scoreless fourth.
Kayla Blevins had 10 points to lead the Rams. Breelynn Horn scored eight points, while Amanda Adams had six points. Desiree Morrison grabbed seven rebounds, forced four steals and recorded four blocks.
"Kayla, Breelynn and Des played really well tonight, as did others," Dospoy said.
Katie Davis had six points and nine rebounds to lead Will Carleton. Kristen Salyer had four points, five rebounds and five steals, while Megan Byers scored three points and grabbed eight rebounds.
Both teams will face Burr Oak in their next game. The Cougars will visit Burr Oak on Wednesday, while North Adams-Jerome will host the Bobcats on Jan. 22.
Jonesville 61, Hanover-Horton 40
Three players scored in double figures for the Jonesville High School girls basketball team as it posted a big road victory over Hanover-Horton in a non-conference game Monday.
Jonesville (3-10) set the tone early, grabbing a 10-5 lead in the first quarter. The teams began to open up offensively in the second quarter, but the Comets took a 29-20 lead into halftime.
Jonesville would pull away in the third quarter, outscoring Hanover-Horton 20-9 before coasting to the win.
"We shoot the ball better tonight and got off to a better start," Jonesville coach Tom Dunn said. "We were able to wear them down in the second half."
Kalie Spencer had 18 points and six rebounds to lead the Comets. Hannah Smith added 13 points and seven steals, while Tabitha Harden scored 10 points. Emily Dawson grabbed eight rebounds and blocked four shots, and Hannah Benn forced five steals.
Jonesville will travel to Quincy for a Big Eight Conference game Thursday.
Hillsdale Academy 53, Burr Oak 6
The Hillsdale Academy girls basketball team could do no wrong Monday as it stormed to a home victory over the Burr Oak Bobcats in a Southern Central Athletic Association game.
Hillsdale Academy (9-1, 7-0 SCAA) had every player on its roster score in the contest. For the night, the Colts forced Burr Oak into 42 turnovers.
The Colts shutout Burr Oak in both the second and fourth quarters.
"We took the press off in the first quarter and played man defense inside the arc," Hillsdale Academy coach Kevin Reed said. "We were trying everything to slow things down."
Olivia Jones scored 21 points to lead Hillsdale Academy. Elyse Lisznyai added 10 points and six steals, while Lyndee Wonders grabbed six rebounds. Christina Craig handed out four assists.
The Colts will host Pittsford on Thursday.

Happy Ending Massage Barrow Hill
As paid sex goes, a trip to the massage parlour sounds classier than simply hiring a hooker. But that's like saying coprophagia seems just like a classier Bath-room activity than simply taking a shower -- entirely accurate and soon you learn exactly what it really means.
If you look to get a video of a woman giving a man a massage, then it is going to play out the identical manner 90 per cent of their period: She gradually melts the client with petroleum, matters steadily getting sexier before set really are just a tangle of naked, glistening limbs. Well, the prevalence of this genre of pornography is setting up people to get a huge disappointment if they get a real-life message, even if it's an sensual.
If you've got this type of"massage" parlour in your neighbourhood -- the kind where they massage your customer's boner -- you may possibly see real beds rather than the typical massage tables. But more often than not, they have to keep the illusion up with the regulation equipment. This implies staff will likely be attempting sex acts on a massage table, and that could lead to hilarious tragedy and/or physiological injury. "Tables," says Amy,'' "are, let us imagine, more economical than they need to be for this kind of thing." So gender having a massage customer is half an Tetris, since the masseuse fights to spin legs and other appendages right into configurations that fit. It's hard enough with any purchaser, which is extra catchy with the chunky ones.

Among recent enforcement actions taken by the SEC were charges against five former real estate executives for a $300 million Ponzi scheme that purported to develop five-star resorts; against a day trader who targeted ethnic groups in a high-volume trading scheme; and against a former broker-dealer executive who defrauded investors buying mortgage-backed securities (MBS).
Former Real Estate Execs Charged in $300 Million Ponzi Scheme
Investors who thought they were funding the development of five-star resorts in Florida and Las Vegas were actually being fleeced in a Ponzi scheme by five former real estate executives, according to the SEC.
According to the charges, Fred Davis Clark Jr., president and CEO; David Schwarz, chief accounting officer; Cristal Coleman, manager and sales agent; Barry Graham, sales director; and Ricky Lynn Stokes, sales director, used new investor deposits from the scheme to pay leaseback returns to earlier investors. They also helped themselves to exorbitant salaries and commissions totaling more than $30 million, and used some investor funds to buy airplanes and boats.
Beginning in 2004, Cay Clubs Resorts and Marinas, says the complaint, raised more than $300 million from nearly 1,400 investors nationwide through a network of hundreds of sales agents, marketing seminars and podcasts that touted the profitability of purchasing units at Cay Clubs resort locations.
Clark, Coleman, Graham and Stokes solicited investors and promised them guaranteed income from a guaranteed 15% return, instant equity in undervalued properties, historic appreciation, and at least $30,000 in upgrades to the units they purchased at Cay Clubs resort locations in Florida and Las Vegas. In addition, the four promised a future income stream through a rental program that Cay Clubs managed.
Also, Stokes wrote directly to potential investors, calling the leaseback payments and profits "guaranteed" and proclaiming that Cay Clubs was a "very stable financially healthy company worth BILLIONS."
Not true. Profitability and instant equity claims were false; the purported triple-digit returns came from undisclosed insider transactions with Cay Clubs by Coleman, Graham and Stokes, not from actual returns. Those secret actions made it look as if Cay Clubs units' values had quickly skyrocketed, but the transactions were just part of an insider flipping scheme.
The investor money went astray, into the pockets of the execs, via multiple bank accounts controlled by Clark, Coleman and Schwarz. Not just boats and planes, but precious metals and even a liquor distillery that produced, appropriately enough, Pirate's Choice Rum were the targets of their spending. Even as it continued to advertise itself as a profitable venture, Cay Clubs began to abandon ship. Many investors' properties went into foreclosure.
After Cay Clubs gave up the ghost in 2008, Clark and Coleman, now husband and wife, decamped to the Cayman Islands, where they continued to spend remaining assets and funnel at least $2 million to offshore accounts.
The SEC is seeking financial penalties from Clark, Coleman and Stokes, and the disgorgement of ill-gotten gains plus prejudgment interest by all five executives. The complaint also seeks injunctive relief to enjoin them from future violations of the federal securities laws as well as an accounting and an order to repatriate investor assets.
Lebanese, Druze Communities Targeted in High-Volume Trading Scheme
A Sugar Land, Texas-based day trader was charged by the SEC for targeting, in particular, investors in the Houston-area Lebanese and Druze communities in a high-frequency trading program.
Firas Hamdan was charged with defrauding investors in the trading program; he also provided those investors with falsified brokerage records that drastically overstated assets while at the same time hiding Hamdan's huge trading losses. The SEC also seeks an emergency court order to put an end to the scheme and to freeze Hamdan's assets and those of his firm, FAH Capital Partners.
Hamdan, according to the SEC's complaint, is well-known in the Lebanese and Druze communities in the Houston area and is a former treasurer of the Houston branch of the American Druze Society. He took advantage of that fact by talking to friends and family in both communities about his trading program, which supposedly conducted high-frequency trading via a proprietary trading algorithm. He also asked these people to spread the word, and unfortunately they did. Hamdan said he would pool his own money with that of his prospective investors; he promised his targets an annual return of 30% and claimed it was a safe investment. However, the program churned up $1.5 million in losses instead. He had brought in over $6 million from at least 33 investors over a five-year period, and when he couldn't deliver the promised unrealistic returns, he blamed it on funds being held up in the Greek debt crisis or the MF Global bankruptcy, and made up other excuses as well.
Hamdan allegedly told investors that his program brought in positive returns in 59 out of 60 months between 2007 and 2012, and produced phony documentation to "prove" it. One faked statement provided to investors for Q1 of 2010 showed an opening balance of over $2.3 million, quarterly trading gains of $2.7 million and a closing balance over $5.1 million, The real statement for that period had an opening balance of $27,970.76, quarterly trading losses of $7,452.80, and a closing balance of $148,210.02.
Hamdan allegedly told numerous other lies to investors, such as claiming that a cash reserve account secured their investments, that there was a $5 million key man policy in effect, and that a Dallas-area hedge fund manager had invested $1 million with him and promised to do more. None of these things were true.
The SEC's complaint seeks various forms of relief, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary and permanent injunctions, disgorgement of ill-gotten gains with prejudgment interest and financial penalties.
Former Exec Charged with Defrauding Investors on MBS
Jesse Litvak, a former executive at broker-dealer Jeffries & Co., was charged by the SEC with defrauding investors on sales of MBS after the financial crisis to bring in more money for the firm.
The SEC's complaint alleges that Litvak, formerly managing director of the MBS desk at Jeffries in the Stamford, Conn. office, was responsible for, among other things, arranging trades for customers. From 2009 to 2011, when he bought MBS from one customer and then sold them to another, he often lied about the price paid for the MBS to the purchasing customer so that he could charge more and keep the difference for the firm's coffers. Other times, he simply created a fictional seller so that he could give the buyer a higher price on MBS from the firm's inventory.
Among Litvak's customers were some funds created by the U.S. government under a program designed to help strengthen the markets for MBS during the financial crisis. If those customers had known the MBS they bought could have been had for a lower price, they probably would have sought out that lower price. And since MBS have low liquidity and are tough to price, honesty in the information provided by the broker is particularly important.
Litvak's actions not only brought in more than $2.7 million for the firm that it would not otherwise have had, but it also boosted both his standing and his bonuses, since the latter was based on how profitable his efforts were.
The SEC's investigation is continuing, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut has also announced criminal charges against Litvak.
