DISNEYLAND, Ca. — It's just past 6:30 a.m. and Wil Arneson can barely contain his excitement. I'm still trying to wake up.
We're walking towards the brand new Cars Land, and the six-year old's bright blue eyes are beaming and there's a definite skip in his step. Actually, he's almost running.
We're chatting, although it's hard to get a word in as he's filling me in about the last couple of days he has spent at Disneyland — The Happiest Place on Earth — and how it has been an awesome experience.
"I've waited six years to come here," he says in a matter-of-fact tone.
Did I mention he is six?
Waiting his whole lifetime, literally, to visit Disneyland parks has not been a disappointment.
And with a sneak peak of Cars Land now just a few paces down the road, the approaching awesomeness is stretching further that ear-to-ear grin.
Entering the 12-acre addition to the Adventure Park is like walking into another world; an animated world that has come to life.
Wil's wearing his Lightning McQueen T-shirt under his racer-style jacket — fitting garb for the occasion — and he's more than willing and able to take on the three brand new rides specifically built for the attraction.
Having watched both the Cars' movies several times, Wil is elated to be in a place that has such a keen resemblance to the flicks with which he has fallen in love.
We first stroll through Radiator Springs, which according to Mater (the lovable tow truck character voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) is: "The cutest little town in Carburetor County." Whether in the movie or now here in real life, the town has charm, there's no doubt about it.
And along with charm, the Route 66 setting is almost identical to what you see in the animated motion picture, making it just that much more exciting. There's the Cozy Cone Motel to the left, Flo's V8 Café just a few paces down on the right, and at the end of the street is Luigi's Casa Della Tires.
Wil is excitedly pointing out and highlighting what is what as we make our way to the first ride, Radiator Springs Racers. While in line, he can barely stand still and the short wait to get onto the ride seems like an eternity to him.
But as we strap ourselves into the six-person car and take off, it's all smiles from there. Watching his expressions, I notice he's like a sponge trying to soak it all in. After all, calling the backdrops visually stimulating is an understatement.
Whether cruising through the Cadillac Range Mountains (which look incredibly lifelike) or going through the storytelling portion of the ride, he's fascinated with what's going on.
Then the ride picks up speed. With straight stretches, small bumps and a long sweeping right-hander, we're racing through the track with our hair blowing in the wind.
After the ride is over, he's still beaming.
"The racers are fun," he says as we walk away from the ride. He adds, "I'm not scared on the Radiator Springs Racers," even though it is a fast-paced ride.
Onto the next.
Mater's Junkyard Jamboree can be likened to the Magic Tea Cup ride at Disneyland, without the strong nauseating affect. Mind you, there is a whirling motion to it so those who are faint when it comes to spinning around, this might not be the ride for you.
But for Wil, it's perfect.
"The tractors are insane! Insane I tell you." The animation in his voice and body are hilarious to watch. It's evident that he really liked the ride!
Our last but not least stop is Luigi's Flying Tires. Think air hockey, except you're the puck gliding across the surface. Furthermore, there are multiple novelty-sized beach balls ready to be caught or tossed while on the ride.
Sitting in between his parents, Wil is having the time of his life. His toothy smile is spotted from across the arena and it's not going anywhere, fast.
After it's over, he's ready to get in line again and go for another glide. But first a breakfast break at Flo's V8 Café. Delicious.
When asked, on a scale of one to 10 how fun has his experience been, one being not-so-fun and 10 being super awesome, without hesitation he answers: "10."
He can't wait to tell his friends back home about his adventures.
Additionally, he's been snapping pictures like crazy. With over 200 photos on his camera, and a story behind each of them, it'll probably feel like a lifetime until he returns to the park.
But until then, he'll treasure the memories made at Cars Land, which I'm sure he won't soon forget.

LIU Post strikes quick in second half to topple Saints 10-7 for Division II national championship on Sunday in Owings Mills, Md.
In a flash, or at least in a matter of minutes that must have seemed like a flash in a season that lasted three and a half months, Limestone's national championship hopes were gone.
Down 5-4 in the second half, Long Island University Post scored six straight goals in a span of 6:21 and beat Limestone, 10-7, in the Division II women's lacrosse national championship game at Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills, Md.
The second-ranked Saints (20-2) were hoping for their first national title. They made the final game two years ago. Top-ranked LIU Post (20-0) won the championship for a second straight season.
"We had our opportunities. Things just didn't go our way at the end," Limestone head coach Scott Tucker said. "The girls are upset. It was just a large group of seniors and that adds to the emotional aspect of it. They played their last game and it was a loss. It's a disappointment, but we told them to remember all the good things that happened."
Some of those were setting a school record for victories, winning at home (in the quarterfinals against Pfeiffer) for the first time in the NCAA tournament and beating Rollins in double overtime in Saturday's semifinals. Also, junior attack Sarah Oor in the title game became Limestone's all-time leader in points with 260.
The Saints will have those fond memories. But the sting of losing in their best chance of a first national championship will be there for a while. LUI Post dominated on draws, 15-4, and those extra possessions in the second half were crucial.
"We had trouble clearing the ball and just made too many mistakes in transition," Tucker said. "We ended turning it over way too many times."
Down 10-5 with 11:18 remaining, Limestone tried to make a run at it. Sylvia Queener scored with 5:16 left and Oor added another at the 3:14 mark.
Queener, the Conference Carolinas Player of the Year, scored three goals. Oor, Sam McCarrick, Jessie Aguglia and Katie Farrell each had one. Senior goalkeeper Rashelle McLellan made eight saves. The Saints had only two assists, by Oor and Farrell, while LIU Post had seven on its 10 goals. Jackie Sileo had four goals and Ashley Olen had three. Katie Rotan had a goal and three assists.
Limestone was making its seventh straight appearance in the NCAA tournament. The Saints lost to No. 1 Adelphi, 17-4, in the 2011 national championship game.
"The bottom line is that we've come a long way," Tucker said. "This was a lot better than last time. Talent and depth were the biggest differences. Obviously, we have some great players. I think we took a big step with the program."

EverGreen Adds Bunkhouse Unit to Sun Valley
March 28, 2013 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on EverGreen Adds Bunkhouse Unit to Sun Valley
Middlebury, Ind.-based towable builder EverGreen Recreational Vehicles LLC announced that its Sun Valley line of travel trailers now offers a new bunkhouse model, targeting extended families or large groups of campers.
According to a press release, the Sun Valley S300BHSL travel trailer features a walk-around queen bed in the front of the coach with a side-aisle bath separating the sleeping quarters from the main living and dining areas of the coach. A spacious kitchen slideout sits opposite a deep-slide dinette and couch, with plenty of storage overhead.
EverGreen said the two slideouts provide ample room for entertaining around a kitchen island with a full-sized residential sink. The rear bunkhouse features a door next to a large kitchen pantry, revealing a hideaway for children or adult guests, while plenty of sleeping and lounging space is provided by double bunks and a third flip-down bunk. Underneath the flip-up bunk are cube gaming chairs designed for lounging or viewing a flat screen TV on the rear wall, complete with drink holders.
Sun Valley also offers a dozen other versatile floor plans with standard features such as a fiberglass front cap with LED lights, screwed and glued cabinetry, and a gear driven four-point slide system.
All Sun Valley travel trailers are built with EverGreen's industry-leading vacuum lamination process in the sidewalls, roof and floors with a fiberglass reinforced exterior and a durable walk-on, reflective white TPO roof wrapped around a sturdy welded aluminum cage. Every unit is put through a rigorous 101-point inspection including a rain booth test before leaving the factory floor.

the north western dairymen's asso ciation gave the following interesting facts mr andrew cross the cclebratt-d eng lish experimenter considered that the roots and leaves of plants were in opposite states of electricity some of bis experi ments in this direction are very interest ing he cut two brauches from a rose tree they were as nearly alike as pos sible with tin same number of bud and both equally blown an arrangement was made l*y which a negative current of electricity was passed through one and a positive current through the other in a few hours the negative rose drooped and died but the positive continued its fresh ness for nearly a fortnight ; the rose itself became full blown and ihe buds expand ed and survived an unusual length of time again he was able to keep milk eweet for three weeks in the hottest weather of summer by the application of a current of positive electricity ou one occasion he kept fishes under the electric action for three months and at the end of that lime they were sent to a friend whose domestic knew nothing of the experiment 15 fore the cook dressed them her master asked her whether she thought they were fresh as he had some doubis she replied that she was sure they were fresh ; indeed she would swear that they were alive yesterday when served at table they appeared like ordi nary fish but when the fimily attempted to eat them tln-y were found to be per fectly tasteless — the electric action had taken away all the essential oil leaving tbe i-li unfit for food however the process is exceedingly n ful • ir keeping fish meats c , fresh and good fur ten days or a fortnight xow this is consistent with our obser vation and the facts known to every one in the habit of handling milk when the condition ofthe atmosphere is in a nega tive electrical state or shows a deficiency of positive electricity a state of weather which we designate a sultry close mug gy and the like there is always difficulty in keeping milk sound even in good healthy milk the fungous germs common to all milk increase and multiply with great rapidity producing the common lac tic acid fermentation or souring of the fluid ; bat in case of fungi from decom

well as the aeration of milk to improve its condition are both philosophical be cause these miuute organisms of fungi are effected by the oxygen of the air which checks their development aud mul ti plication the influences of electrical action is a ques'ion entirely new to the dairy public but it is one concerning which i think some useful suggestions present them selves for our consideration when the electrical equilibrium is disturbed or when thesiateof the atmosphere indicates j a preponderance of negative electricity j we are all aware of the tact by its depress ing influences at such

known as trachetx which take the place and perform the same functions that the lungs do in the higher animals when the body of an insect is smeared with oil these spiracles are clos ed and the insect is suffocated and as it has no power of blowing out any foreign matter from these spiracles as w e do from our mouths and noses it has no power of resist ing the application of oil or grease hence

APRS and see how far we got. When we reached the path down to the river we saw a paper sign saying "Derventio." Olga thought - wisely with hindsight - that it would not be a good idea to walk down to the river as we would then have to climb back up again. We walked a bit further along the road and looked down towards the river where we could see substantial excavations were taking place. This looks like being a major archeological site. One day when I'm just a bit fitter we will go down and take a closer look.
We continued our walk with a loop through the village of Papcastle, then returned home the way we had come. On the way I heard and worked Richard G1JTD portable on the summit of Great Calva, and Liz M6EPW on my local SOTA summit of Watch Hill. That will undoubtedly be the first summit I will attempt but at the moment it is still too far - about 3 miles from our front door.
I was pretty tired and very sweaty by the time we got back to Cockermouth but I resisted Olga's suggestion that we finish the excursion by taxi. Although what we had done was an easy walk by normal standards this was my most ambitious outing since finishing my treatment.
I saved the track as a GPX file and then produced a report using one of the online GPX report generators. According to the report we had walked exactly 4 kilometres. 1.5km of this had been climbing for a total ascent of 87m. To me it felt as if I had just climbed Scafell Pike!

Anesthesia Topics
> Detail Page
Surgery for obese patients presents special challenges for the anesthesiologist. Even simple monitoring tasks, which are essential and life-preserving for all patients, can be a challenge when the patient is significantly overweight. Veins may be harder to locate, finding an appropriate blood pressure cuff to fit the patient's arm may be a challenge, and medication dosing can vary with heavier individuals.
A patient is considered obese if his or her body mass index is greater than 30 (click here for a BMI calculator). Illnesses associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, hypertension and cardiovascular disease, can have serious implications for patients requiring surgery and anesthesia.
In the operating room, obesity-related changes in anatomy make airway management challenging. Airway obstruction due to obstructive sleep apnea can result in decreased airflow and oxygen in patients receiving even minimal amounts of sedation. Placement of a breathing tube (intubation) may require special equipment and techniques. Anesthesiologists have to anticipate these difficulties, prepare for them and counsel patients regarding potential complications.
Obese patients who are scheduled for surgery should discuss their condition and their options with their physician. In addition, the patient's anesthesiologist can explain the specific risks associated with anesthesia and obesity. Please note, patients who are considering a weight-loss program prior to surgery should discuss it with their physician first to ensure it will not interfere with the course of procedure.
The resources in this section offer obesity-related material for specific situations and suggestions for partnering with your physician to guard your safety during surgery

CAPITOL SUSPECT KILLED: Female driver tried to ram White House
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Oct. 3, 2013) -- The U.S. Capitol was placed on lockdown this afternoon after a woman tried to ram a car into the White House gate, was chased by Secret Service and exchanged shots with police, sources said.According to area media, the suspect — who had a child in the car — was shot and killed, and a shelter-in-place order was lifted at about 3 p.m. At least one Capitol Police officer was injured but apparently not shot."The United States Capitol Police have stabilized the incident," officials said in a message.President Barack Obama was briefed about the harrowing incident, which came in the midst of the government shutdown that has created a tense atmosphere on Capitol Hill.It started a little after 2 p.m. when the woman in a black car tried to breach White House security at 15th St. and E, law-enforcement sources said.She did not get through and was chased at high speeds for about 12 blocks, the sources said. Near the Capitol, she began firing and was shot, the sources said. The child was reported to be safe.Her motive was unknown but Capitol Police said there was no reason to think it was an act of terrorism.Travis Gillbert, who watched the chase from the roof of the Newseum, said vehicles involved "had several close encounters with other vehicles during the case.""It was very dangerous," he said.An NBC satellite truck operator saw several police cars with lights flashing near the gardens below the Capitol when he suddenly heard rapid-fire shots. Several police cars could then be seen chasing the black car, he reported.The FBI responded to the scene, and a helicopter landed in front of the Capitol to medevac the injured officer.A message from the Capitol Police ordered anyone in a House office to "shelter in place," but that order was lifted a short time later.The House recessed, and the Senate went into a quorum call — dispensing momentarily with its official business — shortly thereafter."We've locked the doors. We closed the window shades. And we are awaiting further instructions," Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) told MSNBC during the lockdown. "We're more or less cut off here. We're watching TV and just trying to figure out what happened."Though it was over quickly, nerves were still jangled."Shaken is a good word to describe how I'm feeling," said Peter Plocki, a government worker furloughed during the shutdown who was on Capitol Hill to take a tour of the Supreme Court building and heard the shots.Congress has been locked for the past week and a half in a contentious debate over funding the government, a disagreement in which contributed to a government shutdown that came to pass at the end of Monday.Last night, Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy, R, was the victim of a "minor incident" outside of the Capitol complex."A random individual, unknown to the Congressman, began screaming at him and grabbed his arm," a spokesperson for Duffy said in describing the incident. "Mr. Duffy was unharmed. He reported the incident in compliance with House security procedures. Congressman Duffy has requested no further action be taken and there will be no further comment on the matter at this time."Individuals can be seen running Thursday at the U.S. Capitol following gun shots.On September 16, a deadly shooting occurred blocks south of the U.S. Capitol complex which contributed to a partial lockdown of the Capitol at that time.A shooting on July 24, 1998 left two Capitol Police officers dead. And at a constituent event in her district in January 2011, then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was seriously injured and six others were killed in a shooting.

WORLD-BEATING all-terrain capability, massive pulling power, the capacity to swallow a whole load of luggage and a very British charm have endeared the Land Rover Discovery to legions of explorers, families and farmers.
So what now for this off-roading legend?
The fifth-generation version is, in the words of the company, "for the digital age".
In simple terms that means there's lots of clever technology to keep families safe, connected and confident on all surfaces, in all terrains and in all weathers to ensure every destination is reached. Even if that destination is at the back of beyond.
I first tried it out at the Millbrook testing ground, where motor manufacturers put their vehicles through their paces. The off-road course there combines rough surfaces and steep inclines at various levels of difficulty, and I headed straight for the most demanding of all ascents and descents, where only the most capable dare to tread.
And you know what? I swear that if the Discovery had a voice it would have sniggered at the challenge. Top marks then for off-roading.
Recently it showed off its pulling power by towing a 110-tonne road train for 16km across the Australian Outback. Winner of this year's Tow Car Awards in the UK, it also now holds the title of Tow Car of the Decade. It doesn't get any better than that in terms of recommendation.
This full-sized, three-row, seven-seat SUV embodies Land Rover's drive to go above and beyond but is now a genuine alternative to the Range Rover, too, because of its new premium interior.
Its flexibility provides seven full-sized adult seats, instantly configurable from your smartphone using the world-first remote intelligent seat fold technology, and 2,406 litres of luggage space.
Lightweight aluminium construction saves 480kg on the previous version, reducing CO2 emissions from 171g/km while the engine line-up now includes a clean Ingenium 240PS, four-cylinder diesel unit.
Trademark design features include the stepped roofline, which has identified each of the four previous generations, but the new curves at the rear will not be to everyone's taste.
Its body measures 4,970mm long and even adults can be accommodated comfortably in the third-row seat.
While you are sitting comfortably behind the wheel you might like to admire the luxurious leather upholstery and natural oak veneers and sports-inspired steering wheel and pedals.
Talking of seating, the Discovery provides world-first intelligent seat fold technology, allowing customers to reconfigure the second and third-row seats using controls at the rear of the vehicle, the central touchscreen and even remotely via a smartphone app.
Oh, and did I mention that all three rows are available with heated seats – heated and cooled in rows one and two – while massage seats are available for the driver and front passenger.
Another thoughtful touch comes with auto access height technology, which reduces the ride-height by up to 40mm as passengers prepare to enter or exit the vehicle.
With a 10-inch touchscreen positioned high on the centre console, there's not only easy access to navigation and your smartphone but also 3G wi-fi and a 14-speaker audio system at your fingertips.
Now for the bit that made the Discovery a legendary off-roader. Ground clearance is up 43mm to 283mm (up 43mm), while a maximum wading depth of 900mm - an increase of 200mm - puts Discovery in a class of its own, providing unrivalled confidence when tackling both waterlogged tracks and flooded roads.
A comprehensive suite of off-road driving technologies ensures the Discovery's supreme all-terrain capability is easy to access for even inexperienced drivers.
On-road performance is enhanced by Land Rover's proven lightweight and durable aluminium monocoque architecture, which contributes to a 480kg weight saving compared to steel ladder construction.
The new Discovery is both a thoughtful and innovative advance on the previous model.

It's been a decade since animator Patrick Mallek founded Mighty Fudge Animation Studios in the spare bedroom of his old condo. These days, Mighty Fudge operates in a honest-to-goodness studio in east Boulder, and that's not the only way in which Patrick says the company has "grown up."
In recent years, Mighty Fudge has placed a cartoon on national television and been included in a major animation compilation. Last year, the adult-oriented animation studio actually earned a Children's Choice Award at the Blue Plum Animation Festival in Tennessee for its musical short "The Stink Bottom Boat."
It's a new frontier for Patrick, his wife Kim, who serves as producer, and the rest of Mighty Fudge, who are currently developing two television series and a feature film.
This month, Mighty Fudge celebrates its 10th birthday. It's a good time to look back at how the company thrived during one technological revolution (the move to online publishing) and is surviving another (the saturation of free online video).
But as Patrick, 40, says of his cartoon vision, "It was never about today. It's always been about the future." So it seems like a better time to look ahead at future Fudge productions.
Patrick's foray into publishing began with homemade zines and handmade comics. His first effort, in 1990, was a series of comic books following the adventures of Ganjamon. He distributed the books to close friends.
He also worked in the music business.
"He was the creative visionary behind those to really wrap up the event in a nice pretty package," Riepe says. "We've very often worked on each other's projects over the years. That's essentially how we became friends. That's what started our relationship."
The partnership has lasted over two decades and two states. Both would later relocate to Boulder, and Riepe, who now runs the Outdoor Cinema Networks, founded Boulder Outdoor Cinema.
Patrick has designed the posters for Boulder Outdoor Cinema the last eight years.
"He can get very creative," Riepe says. "It's always a fun surprise what he sends over to us."
Surprised is how Patrick left a number of book publishers when he pitched them ideas for one of his earliest creations, Slimmy Jim -- a talking penis with a penchant for mischief. Patrick created Slimmy Jim in the mid-'90s, before he'd delved into the world of animation. His concept for Slimmy Jim was as a -- ahem -- pop-up book. Until he pitched the idea to a number of publishers, that is.
"I got a lot of, 'What? No way can we publish that,'" Patrick says. "That's what pushed me online."
Slimmy Jim came to life as an online slideshow, and it was the start of bigger things. It inspired Patrick to learn Flash animation, and in 1999 he launched Mighty Fudge, which he describes as a "punk rock counterculture mechanism." The timing was perfect, as online publishing had taken hold and emerging high-speed Internet connections facilitated faster streaming of movie files.
Fudge fest
It didn't take long for Mighty Fudge to establish itself as the area's best-known animation studio. It became a staple at local showings of Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, a touring festival of subversive and comedic animated shorts. It's where Patrick says he cut his cartoon teeth.
"Sitting in (Denver's) Bluebird (Theater) and watching your film die at Spike and Mike 10 nights in a row will learn ya," he says. "Then you come back next year and hit a home run."
Mighty Fudge hit a home run with "My First Boner," a musical short that was a nod to the educational Saturday morning "Schoolhouse Rock!" cartoons -- except Patrick's was about an adolescent boy waking up with his first erection. It was an immediate hit with audiences, and Spike and Mike made it a staple of their national tour. It later appeared in the 2005 Spike and Mike DVD anthology, "Caught in the Act." Mighty Fudge was also hired to design an intro movie for the festival.
The national exposure led to other work, and in 2007 Mighty Fudge animated the comedy short "Britney's Having a Breakdown" for Premiere Radio Networks Comedy. The video nabbed more than 1 million hits on MySpace and was broadcast nationally on the CW television network.
The studio has been active locally, as well. Mighty Fudge made two music videos for Denver rock band Dressy Bessy, one of which, "Girl You Shout," made rotation on MTV2. Mighty Fudge's partnership with Boulder Outdoor Cinema included annual screenings of the studio's tamer cartoons.
But with Mighty Fudge cartoons, even the tame ones bring their share of controversy.
"Controversial is a good word to describe Pat's art," Riepe says. "It can be very upsetting to some people. He's looking to push buttons and make people think. Or to push buttons just for the sake of pushing buttons.
"There are definitely a lot of people who really enjoyed it," he adds. "There are others who weren't very pleased with it. More the conservative crowd."
And though it may be a far cry from Sick and Twisted content-wise, Mighty Fudge has been involved with the Boulder International Film Festival since its inception. Two of Mighty Fudge's comedy shorts featuring Magnetic Squirrel -- a hard-luck rodent who swallowed a magnet that gets him into all sorts of hi-jinks -- have appeared in BIFF, and for the past three years Patrick has served as BIFF's animation director.
"He is so much fun and funny and just a dynamic personality that really fits into the film world," says Robin Beeck, executive director of the festival. "He's got a partner (Kim) who's got a lot of talent. They complement each other quite a bit."
Patrick and Kim's most recent short was the award-winning musical "The Stink Bottom Boat."
Their first foray into children's cartoons was originally intended to be a family affair.
"It started out as just a gift to our nephews and nieces," says Kim, 40. "It came out so cute."
So cute that they submitted it to a number of festivals, and it has been so successful -- nabbing an approval rating from the Coalition for Quality Children's Media -- that they are currently developing it into a TV show.
Ironic for a studio that first set up shop to produce a cartoon about a talking penis.
"Our longtime fans were laughing that we were doing a kids' film," Pat says. "The 'My First Boner' team made a kid's film."
Taking the pLunge
It's all part of the maturation process. Ten years on, Mighty Fudge isn't resting on its past success. The studio is currently working on its most ambitious project to date: an animated feature film titled "the pLunge."
"It's a time period piece," Patrick says. "It's a love triangle about three Gen X'ers who think they're all going in the same direction, but they're not. It's a dark romantic comedy."
Or as Kim says, "I think it's about Pat's life."
It incorporates a lot of early'90s culture, such as music zines and coffeehouses, centered on a murder-mystery. It's all presented in an animation style they refer to as "Hanna-Barbanime" -- a cross between classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons and American-style anime.
"We're hoping that we can offer a fresh perspective for Hollywood," Patrick says. "And it's a smaller world. There's no reason that a small animation studio in Boulder can't make a feature film."
Beeck agrees.
"I love the idea that he's moving toward feature films," she says. "He's got the talent and the drive. He's very passionate about his projects, and if anybody can pull it off, it's him."
The Gen X crowd has long been the audience for Mighty Fudge. The studio bills itself as producing "Saturday Morning Cartoons for Grown-Ups!" A generation of kids weaned on Scooby-Doo and the Laff-A-Lympics has grown up to become regular viewers of Fox's Sunday-night Animation Domination block, featuring "Family Guy" and "American Dad," and Cartoon Network's edgy- 'toon showcase "Adult Swim."
"Generation X was the first generation to say '(forget) you' to Disney and go to Spike and Mike and watch 'The Simpsons' and 'South Park' and Adult Swim," Patrick says.
He is optimistic that "the pLunge" will make it to the big screen due to a rise in animated feature films that are marketed toward adults, like "Persepolis," "Sita Sings the Blues," which appeared at this year's BIFF, and "Waltz with Bashir," a 2008 Israeli animated documentary about the 1982 war in Lebanon.
"Those are heavy concepts," Patrick says.
"the pLunge" may not be as heavy in tone, but will certainly be marketed toward adults.
"It's an animated film and there's not a talking walrus in it," he says.
Future Fudge
More info on the film is available online at www.grungeplunge.com, but Patrick says advanced Web technology can be a double-edged sword for aspiring animators. On the one hand, it allows the artist to reach a wider fan base. On the other, outlets like YouTube have acclimated consumers to getting video content for free -- which means animators aren't getting paid for their effort.
"I think it comes down to the expectation of the audience. The audience doesn't expect to pay for content," he says, likening the struggles of animators to that of newspapers. "People have been reading newspapers for free online. They're not going to pay to read newspapers."
Despite garnering more than 1 million viewers with 2007's "Britney's Having a Breakdown," and having it appear on national television, neither Mighty Fudge nor the short's producers made a nickel of profit.
"If you told me in high school that a million people would see my work and I wouldn't make any money off it, I'd say you were crazy," Patrick says.
The byproduct of this is that animators make one or two cartoons for no money before becoming frustrated and moving on to more profitable things. There are enough aspiring animators to fill the void left behind, but the result, he says, is quantity, not quality.
"We've become a society of one-offs," Patrick says.
Mighty Fudge was recently in talks with a "high-profile company" to create a series of animated shorts, but with the amount of money they were being offered they couldn't even afford to hire the voice actors, let alone make a profit, he says. They would have lost money on the project, so they turned it down.
Rather than upping payment, companies such as this will just find someone willing to do it cheaper, Patrick says.
"It's going to come down to money, not how many people see your cartoon," Patrick says. "Where's the incentive to make another?"
In this "society of one-offs," the secret to Mighty Fudge's longevity, he says, is that it's always been bigger than just one cartoon or a gimmick.
"What has allowed us to stay is we weren't just creating one-offs on the Web. We were creating a brand," Patrick says. "We're trying to put a vision behind our projects. It's not about getting rich and famous. It's about not having to get a night job."
So far, so good. Kim, who has always been active behind the scenes, has been working full-time with Mighty Fudge for the past year, and together she and Patrick have gotten a lot of commercial work, including graphic design jobs for Wal-Mart and Earth Balance.
"We have commercial work now," she says, but adds that even that is tenuous these days. "Lots of media companies are struggling right now."
The Malleks know that talent and good marketing will get them far in the entertainment business, but a few good breaks are necessary as well. While animation is widely popular, it's also dominated by a handful of producers. Seth MacFarlane has two cartoons on TV, "Family Guy" and "American Dad," and another debuting in the fall. Long-running shows like "The Simpsons" and "South Park" are still on the air, and Mike Judge, creator of "Beavis and Butt-Head," has a new cartoon debuting in May, just as his popular show "King of the Hill," the second longest-running American cartoon in history (behind "The Simpsons"), is ending its 13-year run.
Hopefully, persistence will pay off.
"The people who hold the cards bet on a sure thing. Then when the sure thing starts to backfire, they look for a fresh thing," Kim says. "We hope we're standing in the doorway when they do."
So Mighty Fudge will continue to do what it's done for 10 years: produce high-quality cartoons. It will also continue to push into new realms, such as children's cartoons and feature films. The future is wide open, and Patrick says he hopes to produce three to five films in the next 10 years.
Kim has a complementary goal.
"I see myself running a big organization," she says.
Patrick adds, "Hopefully it's this one."
Congratulations!Great work.

Human resources consultant ECA International has drawn up its latest list of the world's most expensive cities for U.S. expatriates. The survey examined 400 cities and regions across the world, and measured a basket of common items purchased by foreign workers in U.S. dollars terms, including food, clothing and electrical goods.
The ranking excludes housing and school fees, because those two items aren't usually covered by companies in their cost-of-living adjustments, ECA said.
Some of the most expensive cities aren't necessarily the ones many would expect. In fact, rising currencies have played a big role in this year's rankings, helping several cities move up the list.
Here are the most expensive cities in the world for U.S. expatriates.

CARSON, Calif. – LA Galaxy Insider Adam Serrano's Three Points to the Galaxy's 3-0 victory in the Western Conference Championship First Leg over Seattle Sounders FC.
Seattle Sounders FC's conservative approach appeared to pay off in the first half, but a timely goal by Robbie Keane just seconds before the end of the half put Seattle under siege.
The buildup began in midfield as Juninho played the ball out wide to Sean Franklin. The LA right back played it into Christian Wilhelmsson who dummied the pass, allowing it to run through to Landon Donovan, who delivered a cross to the back post for Keane, who powered a header past Michael Gspurning. The goal catapulted the Irishman into the Galaxy record books as it was the 100th goal in the club's postseason history.
With the lead at the half, the Galaxy ramped up the pressure through the likes of Wilhelmsson and Donovan after the break and found two more goals in quick succession to defeat the Sounders.
Fredy Montero was given considerable responsibility as the lone striker up front for the Sounders on Wednesday, but the Colombian forward was unable to rise to the occasion.
Montero found himself blanketed throughout the game by the likes of Omar Gonzalez and Tommy Meyer, who pressured Montero from the outset and prevented him from getting the ball at his feet in dangerous situations. When Montero did get a touch, the Colombian forward found himself isolated and unable to link up with Honduran Mario Martinez for any dangerous opportunities.
It was no surprise that with Seattle struggling offensively, Montero was removed in favor of Eddie Johnson in the 65th minute. Montero has now been held scoreless in nine career postseason games.
Robbie Keane and Mike Magee may have gotten the goals, but perhaps LA's finest play came from the right flank combination of Sean Franklin and Christian Wilhelmsson.
Throughout the match, the duo terrorized Seattle's left sided duo of Alex Caskey and Zach Scott—who was called on to replace the suspended Marc Burch—by repeatedly getting in behind Seattle's defense. Once behind, the pair was free to combine with LA's forward pair of Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan as evidenced by their combined three assists on the night—two for Franklin and one for Wilhelmsson. However, their impact wasn't merely felt on the attacking side of the ball as Wilhelmsson showed an impetus to track back on defense, allowing Franklin to push forward and overlap even more.
With a week to prepare for the second leg, Bruce Arena may opt to start the Swede and Franklin once again in Seattle next Sunday.

Downey Car Wreck Lawyers
Physical and emotional injuries from car wrecks vary in severity. Most car accident injuries are treatable. Some injuries have permanent affects. After a car accident, it is important to meet with our Downey car wreck lawyers. Any person involved in a car with little or no pain is lucky but rare. Many accident individuals do feel some level of pain or a change in mobility a few days later.
It is important when experiencing exhausting pain. Make an appointment to see a doctor. Other signals urging the necessity for treatment include muscle spasms in the head, neck and upper torso. Common injuries to these areas are whiplash, headache, and soft tissue injury. These conditions can lead to more serious health issues.
- Head and Neck
- Back and Spine
- Physiological Trauma
Other Types of Personal Injury
Not all car accident injuries are visible. Over a period of time, hidden symptoms increase the car accident after-effects. Sometimes the hidden injuries take longer to be recognized. They may take even require more time to heal. If these health conditions go undiagnosed, the chances of regaining the lifestyle prior to the accident – lessens. Suffering from one of these symptoms – seek medical treatment now.
- Loss of Sleep – Not sleeping enough can lead to depression, memory loss, and chronic health conditions.
- Loss of Consortium – This injury relates to the impact of relationships between spouses, parents and children.
- Loss of Enjoyment – Interferences with day-to-day activities can cause emotional anxieties.
Personal Injury Damages
Vehicle accidents fall under personal injury law. There are two types of compensation injured parties are eligible to receive. Compensatory damages pay the injured party. Punitive damages punish the at-fault driver for misconduct. Meeting with Downey car wreck lawyers helps to determine which compensation applies to the situation.
Compensatory Damages
The Downey car wreck lawyers of Moss Hovden are personal injury experts. They deal with insurance company claims to cover all medical treatments. Compensation damages awarded are based the injury costs and expenses incurred by the accident. The purpose of the compensatory damage is to restore the injured party's health. By law, injured parties may receive payment for all of these damages:
- Medical — Cost of medical care related to accident injury.
- Income —Loss of current wages and future earnings caused by the accident.
- Property Loss—Reimbursement for vehicles, repairs and personal assets damaged in the accident.
- Pain and Suffering— Aftermath effects related to pain, emotional and physical handicaps.
Punitive Damages
The other type of damage award is known as punitive damages. The law orders additional payment as extra punishment. The objective is to discourage the at-fault driver from causing a car accident again. One example of this claim is when the driver is under the influence (DUI) of alcohol or drugs at the time of the accident. Our Downey car wreck lawyers will prove the at-fault driver was reckless and is guilty of negligence associated with DUI.
The amount of damage varies from case to case. Each of the states requires proof of driver's misconduct to justify punitive damages. In the state of California, there are no limits on the punitive amounts. But the state does consider the financial situation of the at-fault driver. The attorney must be able to show the injury was caused by the car accident.
Contact Our Downey Car Wreck Lawyers
After a car accident, a health physician health should be seen, whether there is pain or not. The human body is an amazing structure built to defend and repair damages. Sometimes, help is needed for a full recovery. Contact the Downey car wreck lawyers at Moss Hovden at 877-959-6606 for a free case evaluation and to review your accident circumstances. They provide the best tactics for full compensation to restore the quality of life.

Hi all, this is my first time posting. So my son is 8 months old and about a month ago he bit me. I was nursing him in church and he was getting distracted so he bit down. It hasn't happen again, so we're good on that front. The thing is my breast still hurts. I never bled, and outwardly you can't really see anything, although the nipple looks a little inflamed. I don't know what to do because it's the pain is beginning to increase. Has anyone had any experience with this? Does anyone know what it could be? Should I be nursing less on that side (I've just been grinning and bearing it.)? What doctor does one go to for these things? Gyn? General Doctor? Help pleaseeee!
Oh, I should also note: I've had vasospasm issues before.

Point Loma is 2-4 on the season after dropping two tight games last week. The Sea Lions fell 68-63 in overtime to San Diego Christian on Nov. 28. The Sea Lions never trailed in the game until overtime. They led 54-36 with just under six minutes to go when the Hawks began their comeback. In overtime, PLNU had the chance to take the lead with 30 seconds remaining, but Arren Wells' shot rolled off the rim and SDC hit three throws down the stretch to seal the game.
Free throws would also spell doom for PLNU on Saturday in their PacWest opener against Azusa Pacific. San Diego native Troy Leaf hit two shots from the charity stripe with 4.5 seconds left to lift the Cougars over the Sea Lions 51-50. Point Loma had just taken the lead on Todd Campbell's tip-in. Oivind Lundestad came off the bench for PLNU to score a season-high 13 points. He hit 4-of-6 from behind the arc to reach double figures for the second straight game.
The Sea Lions opened PacWest play with a 61-42 win over Azusa Pacific last week. Jil Haentges came off the bench to score a career-high 16 points and Savannah Erskine also reached a new career-high with 14 points in the win. Haentges hit 4-of-5 shots from behind the arc and 6-of-10 overall to shatter her previous career-high of nine points. Erskine put together her best game to date as a Sea Lion with career-highs in points (14) and assists (seven). She added three steals to help PLNU force APU into 22 turnovers as the Sea Lions won the turnover battle by eight. Point Loma did not attempt a free throw in the entire game. The win pushes the Sea Lions over .500 to 3-2 on the season. They also moved to 1-0 in the conference.
Point Loma outside hitter Kelli LeClair capped off a stellar freshman season by being named to the All-Pacific West Conference third team by the conference coaches.
The native of Yucaipa led Point Loma and placed sixth in the PacWest with 3.71 kills per set. She recorded double-figure kills in 22 of the Sea Lions' 27 matches. She also registered 12 double-doubles and finished the season with 2.51 digs per set.
LeClair saved her best two matches of the season for nationally ranked Grand Canyon as the Sea Lions swept the season series. First, in Phoenix when the 'Lopes were ranked No. 16, LeClair had a .273 hitting percentage, 24 kills and 16 digs. She then followed that up five days later with 21 kills, 17 digs and four services aces in a five-set victory in San Diego.
XTRA Sports 1360 AM and Point Loma Nazarene University will team up this winter to broadcast Sea Lion men's basketball.
XTRA Sports, also the radio home of the San Diego Chargers and Los Angeles Lakers, will make the games available worldwide on their website at xtrasports1360.com.
"We are very excited to begin this relationship with XTRA Sports 1360," said PLNU athletic director Ethan Hamilton. "As we continue our move to the NCAA Division II level, this is another piece to our branding effort in the San Diego community. To be able to partner with one of the top sports stations in town is a terrific step for us."
Coverage will feature 17 games, which began with PLNU's Nov. 17 Homecoming battle with Northwest Nazarene. This week, a home game will be broadcast Saturday against Azusa Pacific at 4 p.m. Each broadcast will include a 15-minute pre- and post-game show.
PLNU's men's and women's basketball games will also continue to be available via pay-per-view video stream at www.plnusealions.com. Visit the site for a complete broadcast schedule of 2012-13 games.

a sound effect like bang boom or roarOriginally Posted by daria
Is there a broader definition of onomatopoeia?
a sound effect like bang boom or roarOriginally Posted by daria
have you seen the old batman show ( i mean the really own ones) that has a lot of sound effect for example when batman punches penguin the word bang pops up (plus the sound too)
its basically a sound that describe the situation or action
well thats an onomatopoeia :D
I have spent some time working on this and would like to share. Yes, there is a broader definition of onomatopoeia beyond merely imitating animal voices and actions. [AHD's "Imitative" falls into a narrower definition]Originally Posted by daria
Narrow definition:
animal voices: meow, bow-wow
action: boom, click, rumble
Broad definition:
Some hold that any sound effect is one, for example: rattle, whistle, whine. Below is what I got from 2 sources from the Internet:
"Strictly speaking, the formation or use of words which imitate sounds, like whispering, clang, and sizzle, but the term is generally expanded to refer to any word whose sound is suggestive of its meaning whether by imitation or through cultural inference. "
"Human actions:
Aha, ahoy, chomp, clap-clap, crunch, gulp, gurgle, hush, rap, screech, slap, slurp, achoo/sneeze, ouch, tap, whoops/oops."
