Extended Set - Also frequently called Update Set or Traded Set.
Facsimile Autograph - a simulated autograph printed on a card designed to show what the player's actual signature looks like. These are NOT the player's "real" autograph.
Factory Set - a complete set in a special box and wrapped with a protective covering produced by the manufacturer, usually with a unique seal and sold directly to dealers or card shop owners and not available through the usual retail outlets.
Grade - the physical condition assigned to a card, either by a price guide, or through the assessment made by sellers.
Graded Card - a card which has been assessed for condition by an independent source and given a ranking, with 10 being the best. The card is then placed in a hermetically-sealed plastic holder with the grade designation and player name, card company, card number, and serial number printed on the encasement.
HARTLAND STATUESHartland produced it's first baseball statues back in the early 60's. Sports Collectibles Digest stated that the 1960's Mickey Mantle Hartland is the single most popular plastic sports statue ever produced ! In 1988 Hartland created their 25th Anniversary Editions which, except for some very minor details, were identical to the original.
Hartland partnered with America's leading hobby-periodical publisher, Krause Publications, to create the SCD Authentic series offering the original 18 as you've never seen them with each statue dramatically different from prior releases. They are amazingly beautiful and exquisitely detailed in their road uniforms with painted pinstripes and wood grained bats making them a unique collectible opportunity for both veteran collectors and Hartland newcomers alike.
Limited to only 2,500 pieces each, these statues are BRAND NEW, MINT and in THEIR ORIGINAL BOXES !!!

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

TECUMSEH — There is at least one opponent of a project to preserve Red Mill Pond by repairing a dam that impounds the River Raisin on the north side of Tecumseh.
Samuel Craig said his property on Tonnenberger Drive in Tecumseh Township does not benefit from the pond. He was among five property owners who testified at a hearing Monday in Lenawee County Circuit Court on establishing a legal level for the pond.
"From my standpoint, we would be better off if there was no dam," Craig told the court. He then suggested a water level for the pond be set 6 inches lower than proposed to protect his property from River Raisin flooding.
Craig later said he intended to oppose setting any water level and proceeding with plans for a dam repair project. He wants Red Mill Pond drained, he said.
Lenawee County Drain Commissioner Stephen May said there are nine properties on Tonnenberger Drive included in an engineering firm's proposed boundaries for a special assessment district that would pay for the dam project. The cost is estimated at $315,000.
While the Tonnenberger properties do not have frontage on Red Mill Pond, he said, their frontage on the river is affected. Engineers calculated the river would narrow significantly, and recede from the property, without a dam creating a pond downstream.
A financial impact on the Tonnenberger Drive properties is in question, May said. A proposal with exact boundaries of the special assessment district is still being drawn up for a court hearing on March 18.
If the Tonnenberger Drive properties are included in a district, May said, it would still have to be decided what, if any, percentage of the project cost to assign to them. The indirect connection to the pond would likely justify a minimal assessment on those properties, he said.

A: There is a wide variety of storage supplies available to help you keep your cardsin the best condition possible. They range from hard thick acrylic screw-down holders to "penny" soft sleeves for individual cards to cardboard boxes that can hold from 100 cards upto "monster boxes" that hold more than 5,000 sportscards.
We have a large selection available on our web site with quantities from 1 to 1,000.
1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.
Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card.
Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !

1964 Topps Stand-UpsTopps most popular 1960's test issue !!!
Blank-backed and unnumbered, these standard size cards were called "Stand-Ups". "Stand-Ups" refers to a type of card that was die cut around the player's picture. The background section then could be folded in half, so the card could stand up by itself while the player's picture stood alone. Directions for folding are on the background and when folded only the green background remains. 1934-36 Batter Up and the 1951 Topps All-Star sets are 2 other popular standup issues.
Thanks to the green and yellow borders and the likelihood that most cards have been heavily folded, 1964 Stand-Ups are extremely difficult to obtain in top grades.
The 77 card set features color photographs of the player on yellow and green backgrounds. 22 of the 77 cards were single printed making them twice as scarce and much higher in demand.
The set is packed with Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey and more !!!

Hope has all but faded for a Bourg man who was missing in the Mississippi River last week.
Veteran mariner Vernon Bumgarner, 59, fell into the Mississippi River north of Tunica, Miss., on Jan. 16.
Hope has all but faded for a Bourg man who was missing in the Mississippi River last week.
Veteran mariner Vernon Bumgarner, 59, fell into the Mississippi River north of Tunica, Miss., on Jan. 16.
Bumgarner was still missing as of Wednesday, said Tracy Ainsworth, Bumgarner's ex-wife and self-described best friend.
"They still haven't found his body, so we haven't got any closure yet," Ainsworth said.
Ainsworth said Bumgarner worked for Houma's Caillou Island Towing.
The initial man-overboard report came in at about 6 p.m., said Lt. Ryan Gomez, a U.S. Coast Guard spokesman.
Gomez said Bumgarner was working on a tow boat when he fell in. Information about what exactly happened was not available.
Initially, Gomez said officials believed Bumgarner was wearing a life vest. His vest was later found on the vessel he fell from, Gomez said.
"After 24 hours, the search-and-rescue effort ended. I don't know the reason why 24 hours was the time for this one. That comes from a higher authority," Gomez said.
Caillou Island Towing refused to comment on the incident or confirm Bumgarner's employment.
Dick Hackett, spokesman for DeSoto County Sheriff's Office in Mississippi, said crews searched with the Coast Guard but "ran out of hope" given the 38-degree water and lack of a life vest.
There was some speculation Bumgarner's body had been found. A body was discovered Friday morning near the Port of West Memphis, Ark.
"We have confirmed that it was not Mr. Bumgarner, but we have not identified the body," said Mike Callender, chief investigator for the Crittenden County Sheriff's Office in Arkansas.
Ainsworth described Bumgarner as "awesome."
"He was a jokester. He did anything for anybody. He would jump in the water and save someone himself. He was an awesome man," she said.
Bumgarner joined the Navy in his teens and has worked on the water since, Ainsworth said. The two have a 12-year-old daughter and have remained close since their divorce, she added.

The Perry Panthers didn't have defending Medina Invitational Tournament and state champion Jose Rodriguez in the lineup at this year's MIT.
The Perry Panthers didn't have defending Medina Invitational Tournament and state champion Jose Rodriguez in the lineup at this year's MIT.
They didn't need him to dethrone defending tournament champion Lakewood St. Edward.
With Tommy Genetin (106 pounds), Jake Newhouse (120), David Bavery (126), Tony Dailey (160) and Isaac Bast (170) all winning their semifinals, Perry had almost wrapped up the team title by evening. When Newhouse, Bavery and Dailey delivered individual championships, the Panthers had officially earned their first MIT crown since 2008.
Perry's 230 points were more than enough to topple the runner-up Eagles, who scored 200, and a tough Claymont team that piled up 199 points.
Newhouse and Dailey came up especially huge for Perry. Each defeated No. 1-seeded wrestlers for their title.
Unseeded, Newhouse knocked out Brunswick's Josh Heil with an 11-4 decision of last year's third-place state finisher at 106.
Third at Medina last year, Dailey beat Hudson's Michael Coleman 5-2 for his first MIT title. Coleman was fourth in Columbus at 160 last year.
The top seed in his class, Bavery won by forfeit over Wadsworth's Darrin Gilkerson. It was Bavery's second championship and the fourth time he placed in the top four at MIT.
Genetin and Bast both ran into top-seeded state champions in losing their final match.
Genetin posted four falls before meeting Claymont's Tyler Warner. Warner, last year's Division II 106 state champion, pounded out an 11-4 decision over Genetin. Bast drew Detroit (MI.) Catholic Central's Drew Garcia, and Garcia eked out a 5-1 victory.
Both Austin Phillips (145) and Casey Sparkman (152) went 5-1 to collect thirds for the Panthers.
Jackson's Justyn Bostic was the only other Stark County wrestler to reach the finals. The Polar Bears 132-pounder won three narrow decisions en route to squaring off against Willard's Major Moore, who turned the tables with an 8-5 decision.
Jackson finished 16th with 70.5 points, a spot behind Hoover. The Vikings netted 71 points on the strength of thirds by seniors Nathan Burns (126) and Tyler Maloy (170).

Constructing Bugs Bunny
Bugs looks simple but is really pretty tricky.
Do you ever wonder why the modern versions of Bugs don't look like the real Bugs from the classic cartoons? Not only does he have mushy construction now, but there are some subtleties in his face that are just really hard to draw. Not even all the original animators could catch them.
We won't start with the subtleties today. Let's just look at the broad forms, two ways.
1) Generic on model 40s Bugs
I thought at first these scenes were by Bob McKimson, but after looking closely, I' don't think so. It's almost on model, but the features seem to be just slightly out of place. Maybe it's Virgil Ross?
Greg Duffel, help me out here!
Anyway, they're still very good, very conservative and conservative on purpose. Clampett contrasted everything in context to help tell his stories better. Conservative against stylish and wild or specific.
Here's McKimson for sure:
Note how almost perfectly solid his construction is.
Clampett cast his animators according to their natural strengths and personalities. He wanted this scene to be Bugs in control and confident - the Bugs the audience was used to, so that when Bugs started to lose to the turtle, he could show you what would happen to a cool confident character when he's no longer in control. Someone used to winning would obviously lose control in a big way, so those scenes he gave to the funnier animators like Scribner.
Clampett told me he hated formula and every time he and his cohorts would discover a formula that worked, everyone would want to just make the same cartoon over and over again and not screw with the formula. This would make Bob want to make fun of the formula in rebellion, which he did in this and other cartoons.
But to make it work, he couldn't just have Bugs be wild and out of control all through the cartoon. He had to set it up so that the audience would see Bugs as they knew him, and then take them on a wild ride out of the formula.
2) Exaggerated fun Scribner 40s Bugs
This Scribner drawing uses the exact same construction and cartoon drawing principles as the other scene, but it has way more contrasts in the shapes. And more imagination in the shapes and expressions and poses.
Here's a flatter, less contrasted design from another cartoon:Everything is even proportions.
Scribner's Bugs in this scene is actually even more solid than the "on-model" Bugs. Scribner was a wizard! he could draw all the classic principles better than any other animator at Warner's, but he was also the most creative animator there. Maybe he was from space or something.
Here's Kali's first tries at the conservative on-model Bugs and my translations of the construction.
Bugs' head in the left drawing is veering off to the upper right and his cheek doesn't seem quite attached to his head, so I roughed in Bugs' basic construction next to it.
Here I tried breaking down the drawing. I need to tilt the head back more to make it closer to the pose in the frame grab. But note how all the details flow along the the larger forms.
Toes are same direction as feet. Fingers fit in direction of hands. Eyes wrap around head, etc.
Now here's a Scribner frame:Look how solid even the ears are. Everything is solid and complex. And sensible. The smaller forms ride along the bigger forms. They obey the same perspective and physics.
Different directors experimented with Bugs' proportions and details, but used the same principles as the 40s Clampett Bugs.
Compare to this modern Bugs. You can tell the artist is being real careful, but even so, a lot of the lines and forms are just floating and don't follow the larger forms they are riding. Like the wrinkle lines above his nose.
There are perfectly straight lines and parallel lines in the drawing too, which instantly kill the volumes.
This one too is much flatter than the original Bugs:
Want to become a better cartoonist? Learn these classic methods and watch your control and results dramatically improve. Try drawing the other frame grabs.
Want more Scribner stories? Wanna know how he upped his style when he went from Avery to Clampett? He actually asked permission from Bob to let him be more creative!

I like the broad, full bridge to the early Bugs' nose, too. That has been abandoned over the years. It's an unusual feature, and hard to draw and animate correctly, I'm sure, but it's really a handsome look overall. I'd love to see Bugs get some life and testosterone going again.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this blog. Thanks, fella!
- Rose said...
i loved the old bugs cartoons along with the chuck jones versions.
i liked you and Kali's versions, i wanted to try it out too :D http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/Kuzaru/bugsbunnyhammer.jpg
- Dooley said...
That McKimson model sheet is great. They have that same one currently on display at the Allentown Art Museum's Looney Tunes exhibit.
I attempted a version of Bugs too. I realize now he's not leaning as far back as he should be, but here it is anyway.
- Charlie J. said...
I'd love to hear that story, or any story you heard from Bob.
Thanks for all the free info, which will be even more usefull someday when i draw well.
- Jenny said...
Few cartoon things as satisfying as looking at a McKimson Bugs Bunny from his prime years, Wowza.
Also, nice breakdown/analysis but wouldn't expect anything less from thou, would I? ; )
- Clinton said...
Hey John, I would like get your comment about Scriber's work in 'The Great Piggy Bank Robbery'. How Scribner was able to use the model sheet of Daffy Duck and make those insane gestures.
- Dove said...
Oh how I love old bugs. Its a shame what they have done to him. Hell its a shame what they have done to all those cartoons, they white-trashified them so that fat trailer park moms can wear oversized Tweety shirts that have lots of 'tude in em. Ugh. Sad sad sad.
- Eddie Fitzgerald said...
Unbelievable! A truly great post! I don't know where else you could go on the net to get instruction like this. They're certainly not offering it in the art schools!
Great post yesterday too!

To Mr. John Kricfalusi,
I'm an eighteen year old kid, about to go off to college next year, where I'm paying about 50,000 dollars a year to learn how to make movies.
So, the degree costs around 200,000 dollars.
And from the little I've experienced already, I'm in for a rough time. It's like they're training us to make movies that will help Goldie Hawn ressurect her career.
And I'm not an animator. Don't get me wrong, I love older animation, like Ralph Bakshi and Tex Avery, but I'm more into live-action.
I've been reading your blog for a few months, and I've finally summoned up the courage to leave a comment. But someone with your obvious passion, skill, and understanding of the language of the film, would be able to help dumb kids like me actually learn their craft.
So, the point of all this is, as much as you dislike the kind of inane mediocrity that art school tends to encourage, can you please go into teaching? At least part-time? Or I don't know, just give us hopefuls some more tips?
What you've been doing these past few months has been so valuable to my education. Thank you so much.
A loyal fan,
Binijuktya Sen

I can't thank you enough for teaching these principles! I hope we will see your influence in the next generation of animated cartoons.
- Clinton said...
Hey John,
I drew the Bugs Bunny poses from your lecture on my blog. Check'em out and tell me what I'm doing wrong. Also, you wrote in a Bugs drawing you did to keep the head solid. What do you in the pose with Bugs screaming? I would love to hear about the techinques used to deform cartoon characters; cartoon takes.
- Ze [Zuplemento.com] said...
Hi John
I don't if you already have seen this (Offtopic for this post):
PD. Keep the good job with your blog!
- Mr. Semaj said...
I love how you use Bugs' absolute best cartoon as an example of how to draw him.
- JohnH said...
My eyes aren't practiced enough to notice all the ways the new-design Bugs differs from the old model, but I did notice the nose wrinkles.
Maybe if you put the new design and old side-by-side in a similar post, and pointed out where they differed?
I've posted some Bugs Bunny drawings and a few Roger Ramjet drawings on my blog.
- Jake Thomas said...
Bugs is very hard to draw John.
I attempted drawing Bugs Bunny from the model sheet. I need to practice drawing solid characters a lot more, any tips or critique on the drawing of Bugs I uploaded would be very much appreciated and thanks for doing this post John.
- Mitch said...
Great lecture again!
I analyzed and tried to look at the design of Bugs Bunny. I learnd alot from it, however he is hard to draw but it is really fun and interesting to do.
I put the drawings on my blog, I hope to know what you'all think about it.
I love the bottom left picture on the first model sheet. Bugs looks so evil. And yeah, something is definitely missing on the second one, but it's still better than the sixties Bugs.
I love Chuck Jones' early Bugs cartoons...the timing and sarcasm were perfect, but his later Bugs was awful. Everything was short, his head was big, weird eyes and all the lines were sketchy. I saw some 70's or 80's animation of Bugs directed by Chuck Jones' and it was almost worse than the new "on model" Bugs! He was tiny and "cute" and boring...!
My favorite version of Bugs is still the really old one. The cartoons where Elmer Fudd was still just a really stupid fat guy, as opposed to the Elmer we all know now. Bugs just looked extra evil. Sure they weren't as well animated, but evil Bugs is hilarious.
- Tony C. said...
These posts keep getting better and better!
It is amazing to see you break down all the subtle intricacies that make Bugs work best. The sketches by you and Kali are very helpful since they remove the distractions of the environment and allow us to focus completely on the character, each individual element of the construction, and how they relate to one another.
It is also very cool to see you sketching in such a tight, controlled fashion. The lines are still packed with expression and life, yet smooth and simple.
Thanks John, more posts like this would be greatly appreciated!
- Jeff Read said...
I love the Clampett Bugs. I love his beautiful oval head.
Back when I first saw him on TNT Toons 17 or 18 years ago, I thought, this looks different from the Bugs I know. (The bugs normally seen on WB merchandising, the "on model" Bugs.) But he was more solidly built, more expressive, and most importantly funnier.
- John S. said...
Very inspiring. Thank you for such a thoughtful analysis. I'm going to have to change the way I approach construction, and that's good!
- PCUnfunny said...
I knwo I said this befor but I am still amazed how you can break down a wonderful drawing. Great Bugs post.I also hate the modern Busg as well, he has no personality in those fugly model sheets.
- peldma3 said...
whether you like cartoons alot or not this is still useful stuff... learning to develop an eye... it's a useful tool in an anything goes sort of world as far as art is concerned...
- Wolfus said...
I really miss the old Bugs with his big glossy eyes and insane faces. I can't really enjoy the more recent versions as much. :(
Huh. I remember that first model sheet in great detail..
It was printed as tissue wrapping paper of all things, maybe ten years back. Sure sucked the fun out of Christmas, having to carefully untape and store the damn stuff.
I think I still have it somewhere, I feel inclined to dig it up.
Modern merch artists, except for Mike Fontanelli, can't seem to capture how Bug Bunny's features converge just below his nose in that McKimson model sheet.
Posts like this one and the last two are my favourite kinds of posts you do. They combine your two greatest blog strengths: classic cartoons and art instruction.
Not that I dislike the clips you put up but alot of the stuff you write about The Three Stooges clips can be inferred.
- Roberto González said...
Very interesting topic, but I'm afraid I must confess I don't totally get your explanations.
I can see old Bugs is more appealing than modern one. I can see McKimson's Bugs is extremely solid too.
But I fail to see why Bugs' wrinkle lines above his nose in the modern examples are floating. Maybe cause they shouldn't be so circular in the extremes? It seems that they kind of follow the general shape of the head, don't they? .Straight lines and parallel lines instantly kill the volumes? How so? Is this a general rule? I can see how his eyelashes are a little too straight and perhaps lack some depth...not in a very blatant way, but yeah, maybe a little, but I can't think of other examples.
I generally see he's a little flatter but I fail to understand why. I see the classic style has more charm, expressions and there is a good use of personal styles depending of the guy who was drawing him but I generally think the modern drawings, at least the ones included in this post, are well constructed. I can imagine the sketch and the drawing being made following the "rules", though it's obvious they are following a more rigid model. I see Bugs eyes are perhaps bigger and his legs shorter and he seems less hare-like and more bland, but I think the modern artist understand three dimensions and construction.
Well, if you can explain it a little more for "dummies" like me, I would appreciate. Anyway, I will enjoy any post about this subject.
Perhaps you should make Daffy next. One aspect I don't quite like in his modern design is his giant beak. It's too rigid and big and it doesn't really work for off model expressions. In the old days he could have a large beak sometimes but it seems it was a lot more flexible than it is now.

WHERE WAS THIS POST OF INFO WHEN I WAS DOING AN ESSAY ON 'THE EVOLUTION OF BUGS BUNNY' IN 2004!?! man this would of been valuable....very interesting John, thanks for the read :D
- peldma3 said...
a stack of old Hanna Barbera warner brothers , Walter Lantz and even some terrytoons books on ebay... The art is the kind you post on this blog... golden book style etc..you can find them on ebay by looking up ( tell a tale ) books.. Useful stuff for cartoonists to copy..

Hi Roberto
if you took the Preston Blair construction lessons, you would easily see that the lines above Bug's nose are not in the right place. They are floating to the right of where they should be.
They are lines that are meant to describe the mound of his nose sticking out from his head.
Therefore they should be in the middle of his face, above the nose, in perspective.
The rest of the modern drawings are full of simple mistakes like that, and I picked the best new drawings I could find.Most modern drawings are much worse.
- Jeremy C. said...
Bloody wonderful post as usual.
I too have a very expensive education behind me, but none of this was ever covered. FFS, seriously.
Keep up the amazing work John, I consider you a living legend :D!!
- mr.ed said...
I agree to what you say in this post (and I love the line and structure of the bunny and woodywoodpecker of the early years... More if I compare with the 'ugly recent updates')
- Roberto González said...
Ok, thanks. Yeah, I see. Though if you draw the line in the middle of the head part of the wrinkle lines would be in the right and part in the left...still the part in the right would be quite larger, hence it's slightly misplaced. I guess it didn't stand out as too bad to me cause it still gives some sensation of depth, though it doesn't really stick out of his head. The way it's drawn his head should be more squashed at that point for the nose to stick out, I guess.
- Andy J. Latham said...
I feel like I have made a bit of a break through in reading this post, John.
I have always struggled to see what you mean when you say modern day characters are weaker than their earlier versions.
Seeing those out of place wrinkles on the modern bugs, made the penny drop. Suddenly, I can see all the imperfections.
Also, I loved your break downs of the drawings. It would be great to see some more!

the new one's middle finger annoys my eyes. I don't know exactly what it is, but i would erase it and leave just the tip coming from behind the pinky...
- Andy J. Latham said...
I meant to add this to my last comment:
Sometimes bugs is drawn with limbs constructed out of two cylinders, but sometimes he has "hosepipe" arms or legs. How do you know which approach to take when drawing a character?

Your Bugs, the wacky example of the Scribner one looks ... demented. There is a lot of Kricfalusi in that one - even if it is more or less a mirror image, the style is there. So, the artist who draws him can follow the exact same rules to a tooth - but there is still a lot of personailty and style that gets injected into each itteration. Even if it is unintended.
Oh nooooooes! The modern Bugs has so much "Tude" it's embarasing! The earliest Bugs's head top is a lot rounder and fatter. The top of his head shrinks to be more pointed over time.
This is awesome stuff Mr. K. I'm eating it up with lots of enthusiasim. I love model sheets and construction stuff of cartoon characters. I always like to see how they made their rules and construction. I notice there are a lot of side notes on the model sheets of Bugs. Little reminders for the animators. When I got the model sheets for Ed, Edd, and Eddy - it was super hard to mimic them because they have absolutely NO notes on them. Why are modern cartoonists afraid to put notes on there model sheets? It would have helped.
Anyway - love the lessons!
- amir avni said...
Hey John, I posted the ol' drawing lessons you sent me. Hope it helps to further support your argument.
I LOVE "Tortoise Wins By A Hare"! I keep showing it to friends at school, the reaction is usually "I've never seen Bugs Bunny with so much life"!
- Chipnyu said...
Your blogtastics on Bugs here brings a certain word to my mind: Balance. What a horrid but amazing word. God, like in the first sheet you posted, it evens blabs about keeping proportions. In animation, if you screw up one thing out of balance with a face or something, you basically lose the entire emotion, or the grasp of the character and the situation. EVERY part of the drawing, or should I say Bugs now, has to show the SAME emotion. It's sort of hard really to "mix up emotions" and retain one sometimes. SOMETIMES. And with the modern Bugs, there's just empty unused space floating about. Like a picture with nothing in it, it's a pretty frame, but nothing going on inside.
The Bugs on the record is definately Jones. Jones is more simple shapes but really brought together, but I don't know, I could never really EXPLAIN JONES. Mckimson and Clampett are more all lines curving and in harmony, but Jones has more of a like, straight lines. Then again, I look at his older works. Maybe it's just cuts, that happened a lot during that time.
Modern Bugs is so bland, I can't look at it. It's like the same thing over and over again with no actual meaning to it. I guess that's what happens when something goes commerical like that. It's like a different picture now, but the same frame! No originality! Like H&B's Tom and Jerry (that's getting a little behind the point there.).... also, I forgot about Scribblingner.
You are a truly an amazing artist with a keen eye for animation. Same to Kali. I can't wait for another writing piece on another cartoon.
- harpo said...
Just stumbled upon your blogspot and it made my miserable day turn out ok.
constructing Bugs Bunny was a nice read with some strong points. I'm sure I'll get addicted to your blog
- Jake Thomas said...
I did more Bugs Bunny drawings. Is the newer edition of Preston Blair's art book good to copy from? (The one where he had to make up designs due to copyrights on characters he used in the original.) Or is it better to just print up the older pages and use those?
- K said...
This comment is of no relevance to the ongoing discussion. You must hate posts like this by now, and I don't blame you a bit. But when you don't provide any other apparent means of writing you...
Anyway, in an earlier post of yours, you advocated slow, careful, precise, thoughtful gesture drawings - I assume in contrast to the super-sketchy, super-rushed gesture drawings championed by the Disneyites...? I appreciate more than anyone else the fact that you've provided, already, a wealth of information that could hardly be crammed into a four-year program, but if you could be so gracious as to make one additional effort, to take the time to clarify your appreciation of gesture drawing and compare it against the prevailing attitudes in the animation schools, it would be particularly helpful to me, and much appreciated.
Regardless of whether you've actually read this far into the message: thanks a bunch.
- warren said...
Hey JOhn,
Could you follow this one up on drawing with flair? I remember how you did a drawing of Bugs' head to illustrate to me what you meant way back on APC. I still have it! It said exactly what you were getting at, if that makes any sense. It didn't even have any notes on it!
Seeing this stuff was the best part of the job. It's so generous of you to be doing it here! Youse a real mensch sometimes, y'know that?

The various facets of the state's research and development community in the early 1960s were so robust that the Research and Development Council of New Jersey was launched not to promote innovation, but to facilitate communication between research-heavy companies spread throughout the state's wealth of suburban areas.
But since that time, innovation engine Bell Labs has shuttered; pharmaceutical companies have hemorrhaged research jobs; and science, technology, engineering and math students at New Jersey high schools have been lured to out-of-state colleges. That's why, 50 years later, the council has taken on a new purpose to promote STEM education and private-sector collaboration with academia as a way to resuscitate the formerly thriving R&D investment climate in New Jersey.
"There was a natural emphasis on STEM in the '60s after Sputnik, because the whole country looked at research as a competitive race between the U.S. and Russia, which drove government policy and school lesson plans to focus on R&D," said Anthony S. Cicatiello, president of the council and chairman of CN Communications, in Newark. "Now, we're seeing some of that urgent interest in STEM come back with the need to compete in this increasingly globalized world of technology and knowledge, and our government system has the flexibility to move policy in that direction again."
According to a 2011 report on state STEM education by the Alliance for Science & Technology Research in America, New Jersey placed 40th nationally in the number of bachelor's degrees in science and engineering its colleges produced in 2007, which Cicatiello said could leave a hole in the 269,000 STEM-related jobs the state will need to fill by 2018.
At the forefront of the effort to narrow that gap is the R&D Council, which has "evolved from awarding one student a scholarship every year to catching as many students in the state as possible, bringing them to our member companies and letting them do a tour of an industry-grade lab," said Kim Case, executive director of the council.
"All of our members have their own STEM higher-education programs, but we wanted to come up with a platform to promote them all, so we've become a one-stop shop for companies, teachers and students to look up those programs," Case said. "We only started it three years ago, but we're hearing from members that it has made a difference in their recruiting efforts."
To prepare New Jersey students to enter the future STEM work force, Case said the R&D Council has taken on a significant role to shape science education in New Jersey by collaborating with the state Department of Education, the Merck Institute of Science Education, Rutgers University and Rowan University to advocate statewide adoption of the Next Generation Science Standards — which is the National Research Council's new framework for elementary and secondary science education that will be launched in spring 2013.
"I think over our next 50 years, we're really going to emphasize the national STEM program, bring it to the public in a more direct way and hopefully introduce R&D programs specifically for New Jersey's industries," Cicatiello said. "We've always recognized the need to keep our best science students here and to bring the best science students in the world to this state, but now we're finally seeing it come full circle with companies, universities and government collaborating on the effort again."

One of the main employers in the Paulstown area today is the limestone quarry in the townland of Kellymount, about one mile west of the village up the 'Kellymount road'. It is one of the most technologically advanced limestone quarrying sites in Ireland and is owned and operated by Feelystone. Limestone from Paulstown has been used all over the world, including the Irish Famine Memorial in Toronto, Canada and The Irish Hunger Memorial in New York City. The Feely family purchased the quarry in the mid 1970s.[1] They have a long history in the quarrying industry going back to the 1790s in Roscommon. Limestone quarrying in Paulstown has an equally long history going back almost 200 years.
As early as 1802 the limestone at Paulstown is mentioned. Tighe's Statistical Observations of Kilkenny notes that "there is a cave in the limestone rock of Paulstown, in the parish of Shankill."[2] In 1833 the area is mentioned in a brief discussion of the "calcerous districts" of Kilkenny. The author notes that "there are many such in the limestone region of Kilkenny, of which those of Dunmore and Paulstown are the most spacious."[3] The first detailed description comes from Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of 1837:
"At Kellymount and Shankill are some of the principal flagstone quarries in the county, the produce of which is chiefly sent by the Barrow navigation to Dublin, Waterford and other places, and generally sold under the name of Carlow flags: limestone is also quarried, and a considerable quantity of stone, coal and culm are obtained at Bornafea"[4]
The Ordnance Survey maps of the 1830s and 1840s show that there were three or four openings (blue dots on map below) in the ground where quarrying was taking place. They are in the same place as the modern day quarry. An 1852 publication also outlines the type of stone quarried in Paulstown, noting the presence of "flag and limestone quarries, coal etc."[5]
At this time, the immediate leaser of the land (section 9 in map below) that contained some of the quarry openings was Edmund Staunton, Esq . It was being rented by John and Abraham Wynne with the land and buildings valued at £69.[6] The area of land rented by the Wynne's covered 115 acres, 3 roods and 15 perches. Another portion of the quarry (section 13) was being leased by John Dawson from Edward Wynne. He was leasing 4 acres, 3 roods and 22 perches of land, a house and some other buildings which had a value of £6.[7]
The Ordnance Survey maps for the 1890 to 1910 period give a clearer picture of the mining activities. It shows two lime kilns and the main ground opening. This map seems to indicate that the opening shown in the map from the 1840s has been filled in with some trees growing on top. A newer quarry is located beside the previous one.
The 1901 and 1911 censuses of Ireland give some examples of people who have quarry related occupations living in the civil parish of Shankill. John Scanlon, 38, and Martin Scanlon, 35, are listed as 'Flag Miners'.[8] They are unmarried and live with their father and sister in Shankill townland. John Walsh is listed as living in the townland of Coorleagh with the occupation 'labourer in flag quarry'. He was 56 years of age at the time and living with his son Robert.[9]The Walsh family continued to be involved in the quarry into the years of the Second World War as it was operated by a Peter Walsh.[10]

Midnight Meat Train: Unrated, The (US - BD RA)
Gabe is keeping his eye's peeled for ex-soccer players on the subway...
Down and out urban photographer Leon (Bradley Cooper) is inspired and pushed to capture the darkest reality of the city. After photographing and ultimately stopping the harassment of a young model, Leon discovers that the model was murdered briefly after their encounter. In double checking his photographs Leon decides to pursue a hunch, and looks into the personal life of a large, silent behemoth carrying a brief case (Vinnie Jones). Leon's investigation doesn't lead him places anyone in their right mind would ever want to go.
Midnight Meat Train comes with three hard to match expectations. First off, it's the first Clive Barker theatrical adaptation since the writer directed snore-fest Lord of Illusions, way back in 1995. Add to that Japanese action director Ryuhei Kitamura's ( Versus, Azumi, Godzilla: Final War) making his Hollywood debut. The third, and possibly most unobtainable level of expectation, is the title, which after drawing guffaws from teaser trailer showings, embarrassed Lionsgate enough to make them effectively bury the film.
Lionsgate really shoved their tail between their legs on this one, but was not lacking in creative ways to keep the film from a mainstream audience. First they pushed back the initially announced release date, though not for reasons of unfinished product. Then they released the film to less than one hundred theatres. This wasn't a rare move, but the less than one hundred theatres selected were of the second run variety, also known as 'dollar' or 'cheap' theatres. On top of this, which automatically set the film up for a minimal box office take for price alone, the majority of fans were able to first see the film through Lionsgate's free On-Demand cable service Fearnet. Though some small budget horror films have been sold straight to the Sci-Fi network in the past, this particular treatment of a film (a $15 million film specifically) is quite novel, and bizarrely notable.
But you're probably here to hear if the flick's any good. The short story is that it's good, but it's not particularly original. Basically, if I'm breaking it down for the film buffs out there, I'd call Meat Train a mix of Argento's Bird with the Crystal Plumage, Gary Sherman's under-appreciated Raw Meat (aka Death Line), and Polanski's Rosemary's Baby, as filtered through the prisms of both Barker's and Kitamura's typical work. I'm unfamiliar with the original story, so I'm not sure what was added or subtracted by screenwriter Jeff Buhler, but this is a somewhat middling story. The characters are inescapably artificial, and their motivations are largely stereotypical for the genre. The ultimate familiarity is the film's weakest element, but I'm personally enough of a fanboy to enjoy the whole recognition process. The similarities with various Argento features (including his greatly Weegee inspired half of Two Evil Eyes) were actually quite satisfying, as Argento himself hasn't made a satisfying Giallo since The Stendhal Syndrome, though not for lack of trying.
The mix of Kitamura and Barker was the intriguing part of the equation for many fans, including me. One ingredient bereft of the other would be much less interesting. Kitamura control balances Barker's tendency to take his stories too seriously, and Barker's source material keeps Kitamura from tumbling overboard. We're all adults here, so let's not pussy foot around the facts—Kitamura makes junk food movies. He takes his favourite elements from more successful directors and 'cools them up'. The good news for the fans is that he's grown steadily throughout his very brief career (the Japanese film industry demands at least a few films per year out of their better directors). And in growing Kitamura has made his first real horror film. By the final act the Sam Raimi and John Woo worshiping director we've come to know and love rears his head, in a way Barker could've never manage on his own. Yet the left field nature of the final act is pure Clive. It's the best and worst of both worlds.
No matter what we say critically about the depth of Kitamura's filmmaking, most of us have to admit that his stuff looks fantastic on the surface. It's no surprise that a slight increase in budget would make for an even more beautiful looking feature. Midnight Meat Train is a very slick film, with sharp foreground focus, tight edges, very specific lighting schemes, and just about zero natural lighting. Kitamura fulfils the stereotypes, but also takes the time to surprise us a bit. In hi-def the audience can appreciate the changes in image clarity and grain. Scenes taking place in the titular train or the station are steely blue, and unnaturally clean. Even the splattering black and red blood in these scenes looks like silk on screen. Outside night shots often revel in auburn hues, sharper contrast, and more grain, while daytime shots overrun with white glare, spiked with deep blacks, and poppy pastels.
Of course, you can't have a total sensory overload without audio extremes, and audio extremes can never go wrong with DTS-HD Master Audio. The sound effects in this one aren't quite as Raimi-fied as the silly bits found in Kitamura's Anime inspired work, but the extreme nature of each ear-splitting splat, and each gut punching bone crunch should probably still make Mr. Evil Dead proud. Surround effects are fiercely impressive, and go great lengths in creating a larger canvas for what is ultimately a monetarily bereft production (comparatively speaking, of course). Directional spacing is usually spot-on, and the immersive effect of the mix is quite nice (check out the railcar three-sixty during the fight for a good time). The LFE channel belongs to the punches, kicks, hammer throws, and the electronica-meets-brass-band score. A very busy track indeed.
The extras begin with a great commentary featuring Barker and Kitamura. Barker's commentaries are always good, but this is my first time listening to Kitamura share his thoughts on the filmmaking process in English (and pretty good English too). Ever the storyteller, Barker, who's mostly in charge of the track's pace and structure, saves his juicy behind the scenes information until the last act, but previews it constantly. Time constraints initially made me think I was going to have to watch the track in chunks, but I found myself listening to the entire thing without checking the clock. We still don't get the full story behind the film's mistreatment, but we get plenty of clues. It seems that Meat Train, along with Repo! The Genetic Opera, was the victim of a regime change at the studio (though this is of course only part of the story). Surprising to me is the lack of talk concerning Argento, Raw Meat, or the legends that I had assumed inspired the story. Perhaps Barker added these elements subconsciously, or perhaps I misread the images, because both commentators are sure to mention all the other homage they toss about.
'Clive Barker: The Man Behind the Myth' is a general look at the dude that wrote the story. Barker only spends about four minutes discussing Midnight Meat Train, or movies at all, before quickly moving on to his paintings, which are still relatively new to him. As a painter I'm impressed with the quantity of Barker's output more than his skill, but some of the hundreds of pieces strewn across his studio are genuinely fantastic works of art. Barker's dribbling descriptions of his art are pretty pretentious and fully over thought. The featurette runs a healthy fifteen minutes.
'Mahogany's Tale' is five minutes plus concerned with all things Mahogany. Mahogany is the film's killer, as played by the immortal Vinnie Jones. Apparently Barker and Kitamura were trying to create the next horror icon. They've come up short, but it's not entirely easy to say why. The character's costume and public image is in direct conflict with Jones' on screen persona, which is kind of unintentionally amusing—sort of a 300lb Forest Gump.
'Anatomy of a Murder Scene' is a fluffy, ten minute look at the film's best (if not most realistic) murder—the death of Ted Raimi and friends. Kitamura's love of storyboard pre-production is not a surprise. Things end with a trailer, and trailers for other Lionsgate horror releases.
Cautious optimism ended up being the ideal manner in which to approach Midnight Meat Train, which is a good mix of the specific talents of its respected writer and energetic director, but not a great film. I happy I skipped the free On-Demand R-rated version, because based on the facts gathered from this commentary track, the cuts to maintain the rating were deep. There would be no reason to see a neutered version of such a bloody, violent, and just downright gooey film. Brutal and funny, though just as predictable and maudlin, Midnight Meat Train is mostly for Barker and Kitamura's fans, but may transcend a few mainstream barriers.

Elevated Blood Pressure Levels
If you believe you have low or normal blood pressure, you may be off the mark. You might have prehypertension. Prehypertension occurs when you have elevated blood pressure, but not high enough to require medical treatment. When your blood pressure is elevated, the risk of developing hypertension increases dramatically.
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is diagnosed when a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) or greater is noted. The level must be seen on at least 2 readings to be officially diagnosed. The upper number is the systolic pressure when your heart contracts. The lower number is the diastolic pressure when your heart relaxes.
Having prehypertension is your cue to take action. It is important to take steps now to lower your blood pressure before medical treatment is necessary.

As mentioned before, people with prehypertension are more likely to develop full-blown hypertension. They are also more likely to develop associated health problems. Heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and impaired vision are all associated with hypertension.
Studies indicate that cardiovascular risk increases as blood pressure rises above 115/75 mmHg. In fact, your risk doubles with every 20 mmHg rise in systolic pressure or with every 10 mmHg rise in diastolic pressure.
Who Should Get Screened?
According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), everyone aged 18 years and older should be screened for hypertension. If your blood pressure is above normal (that is, higher than 120/80 mmHg), your doctor may recommend that you have it rechecked more often. People at increased risk for hypertension may also need more frequent readings. Risk factors include a family history of the condition, African American race, above-normal weight, or age greater than 50.
If getting to the doctor for regular blood pressure testing is difficult for you, consider buying a home monitor kit. Blood pressure monitors are available at most drug stores.
Prehypertension Treatment
Unlike hypertension, prehypertension treatment does not usually include medications. The mainstay of therapy for prehypertension is lifestyle changes. These changes can help to slow or prevent progression to hypertension. The National High Blood Pressure Education Program recommends:
- Lose excess weight.
- Increase physical activity to at least 30 minutes most days of the week. First, get your doctor's approval to make sure you are healthy enough for regular exercise.
- Eat a healthful diet. Include food that is low in fat and cholesterol and rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.
- Reduce your daily salt intake.
- Limit alcohol use. This means no more than 2 drinks a day for men or 1 for women.

A Leicester woman who stole more than $300,000 from two local companies has been sentenced to 2 to 3 years in state prison and ordered to pay full restitution.
Kimberly Powell, 42, of 318 Stafford St., Leicester, pleaded guilty Jan. 2 in Worcester Superior Court to two counts each of larceny of more than $250 and credit card fraud of more than $250 and a single count of falsifying corporate books.
The charges stemmed from the theft of $261,973 from New England Industrial Engineering Inc. and nearly $54,000 from Westerman Store Equipment Inc., according to prosecutors.
Judge James R. Lemire sentenced Ms. Powell Thursday to a Framingham state prison term of 2 to 3 years with 10 years of probation to follow.
As conditions of probation, Ms. Powell was ordered to pay $315,454 in restitution in monthly payments to be determined by the Probation Department and was prohibited from working in any type of fiduciary capacity during the probationary period.
Assistant District Attorney John A. O�Leary told Judge Lemire during last month�s plea hearing that some of the charges against Ms. Powell related to a total of $261,973 she stole in 2006 and 2007, while working as an independent payroll and tax preparer for New England Industrial Engineering.
According to the prosecutor, Ms. Powell added herself to the company payroll without authorization and was paid $175,973 to which she was not entitled. Mr. O�Leary said that on two occasions in 2006, Ms. Powell told company officials that New England Industrial Engineering owed federal taxes and asked them to wire $43,000 into her bank account, saying she would forward the funds electronically to the Internal Revenue Service.
Ms. Powell instead converted the $86,000 to her own use, Mr. O�Leary told the court.
The remaining charges to which she pleaded guilty involved nearly $54,000 Ms. Powell stole in 2010 and 2011 from Westerman Store Equipment Inc. while working as a part-time bookkeeper for the firm, according to George C. Hardiman, a special prosecutor assigned to that case.
Mr. Hardiman said Ms. Powell stole the money by writing company checks to herself and by fraudulently entering charges onto credit cards held either by the company or its owner.
Judge Lemire postponed sentencing until Thursday after accepting Ms. Powell�s Jan. 2 guilty pleas and released her on her own recognizance at that time.
Four counts of larceny of more than $250 by a common scheme that had been lodged against Ms. Powell were dismissed Thursday at the request of prosecutors.

i literally spent 5 hours typing a response to all of you, but this site erased it all. i will try to reconstruct it in the next couple days. i really do want to get back to all of you.
How about we pause here and give Kaboose a chance to reply?
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
Good job, Kaboose!+1
OK, as a newbie here, I'm just going to say something(s) I have picked up as I have read through several threads.
I will say for a fact, if Jesus appeared in the air, or in my room, I'd kneel down and humble myself, and I imagine almost anybody on this site would too.
9. He designed us with free will, but doesn't want us to use it
"Why won't God heal amputees?" well to be honest, no one can know.
God has a plan for the universe marked down to every time you'll blink. There is a reason why not every amputee is healed physically, but i can't know that. but what i do know is the spiritual healing that come from tragic moments in our life. God gives us certain situations in our lives that pin us against the wall and ask us "What do I believe in at this pivot point of life?" i have had this situation in my life before as well. God isn't torturing us by removing our limbs, or making us being born without eyesight. He is trying to teach us something to lead us to eternal healing and life.
God never wants or even wishes for murder (abortion counts in this instance).
That is the people, and sin that we blame for that.
But God created science and the many things we can explore, but sin has twisted it so far that it has become a religion. Your religion.
Satan is the king of lies and he took science and the explanation of the universe and shrouded the many things that we ignore to this day.
There is in fact scientific proof that there is a god or intelligent being.
Now for one all energy is eternal. There is no beginning or end to it, it is just always there.
Now if you ever believed in the big bang theory, then you still have yet to answer the one question that so many cannot answer. "Where did the energy come from?". It had to of had a source.
Something or someone outside of time and science itself. And here enters God or whatever you wish to call Him.
Now that shows how there at least must be something outside of time watching over us, now how can i believe that this same being is watching over us constantly and loving us. The answer is simple. God created the heavens and the earth.
let's look at the rotations of the earth and the moon. now the moon is normally out when it's night and the sun is out when it's day. that's 24 hours in one day. kind of a random number, but yet it's insanely brilliant when you get down to it. People need at the most 9 hours of sleep to function for at least 15 hours. Is it just our bodies adapting to cycles? or is it literally that we were made the have to follow this. But how could evolution even bring that onto us? same for all creatures. we need sleep because of how our bodies function. we get sustenance through the day for energy, but that can only last so long. so if evolution were true, would we be able to adapt to a completely different sleep cycle? no. I'm not talking about moving into different time zones, but try living perfectly normal in a place with 30 hour days. you'll probably notice that you'll be completely exhausted come night time and your sleep isn't nearly as healthy. So thank goodness random chance produced that. well it didn't.
QuoteOK, as a newbie here, I'm just going to say something(s) I have picked up as I have read through several threads.QuoteI will say for a fact, if Jesus appeared in the air, or in my room, I'd kneel down and humble myself, and I imagine almost anybody on this site would too.Then your imaginations are incorrect. It's more than probable that many of the atheists here would of course acknowledge a revealed god, but kneeling down to it ? all of a sudden loving it ? worshiping it for ever ? Nah, myself I can't see it. And if in fact it was bible god, then definitely not ! Tyranny is never to be respected and always battled against, so that type of god is in the dog house Please note I said I imagine almost anyone. but point noted. I was speaking, (writing) IMOO, and I'll not include you in any further notes I write. I also imagine I am smart, (Delusions of Grandeur) Like I said, newbie.Smiles,
Noah's Ark. People in modern day have tried to rebuild it according to the dimensions in the Bible, and guess what? It cannot be done. The largest so far is 1/2 the sice, requiring steel bracing, strutts and supports and to top it all off: it is built onto a steel barge because even with our low sea levels with intervening land, it is not sea worthy. A world only covered by water won't have land to break the waves so they'll just build and build. A world covered only by water will be rougher than the pacific has ever been.
Just to let you all know i am taking jeff's post into consideration and studying what people say on this forums. I am ignorant when it comes to the science of a lot of things. i hope you don't mind waiting for my response. i would like to give it at least a week to gather my information more. Thanks!
We are all gonna die right? Is anyone here (because of science) gonna live forever?
Is anyone here (because of science) gonna live forever?
Yes. I am.Can you prove I will not?
Ask how science made you live forever then get a lie detector?
Quote from: Samuelxcs on October 14, 2011, 05:45:42 AMAsk how science made you live forever then get a lie detector?Polygraphs test the belief in the answer being given - not the underlying truth or otherwise behind that belief. I'm confident I would pass a lie detector test.I'm also sure that jtp56 would get a "true" response if asked "will you live forever through Christ".....same as I am sure I would get a "false" response if asked "will jtp56 live forever through Christ". In other words it would prove nothing.
Okay, well i do have a few questions. All of the prophecies told in the old testament have come true.

When the going got tough, East Newton's Kortney Cambers stepped up for her team late and helped seal a victory over the Neosho Lady Wildcats at Neosho High School on Thursday.
When the going got tough, East Newton's Kortney Cambers stepped up for her team late and helped seal a victory over the Neosho Lady Wildcats at Neosho High School on Thursday.
East Newton won in three sets 25-17, 22-25, 25-18.
If not for the lack of smoke rising from their uniforms, one might have thought the Lady Patriots were on fire when they opened the first game and jumped out to a 12-2 lead. They could do little wrong in that span and the Lady Wildcats were never a factor.
Neosho, however, came alive in the second set and led almost the entire way before Sam Duke helped put it away from serve at the end, as the Lady Wildcats rattled off three-straight points after East Newton drew it to a 22-22 tie.
Neosho jumped out to an early 5-1 lead in the third set before the Lady Patriots drew it to a 6-6 tie. The Lady Wildcats clawed back to get within 17-14 before Cambers took serve and stretched the lead to 23-14.
"I thought the biggest thing was we came out with a lot of emotion, desire, pride," Lady Patriots coach Todd Dana said. "We turned it on late and it was a very good win for our girls.
"I thought the third game we came out and kind of hit a little wall there and then the girls responded really well."
The win drew the Lady Patriots to 2-2 overall.
Lindey Broyles led East Newton with eight kills and three blocks, while Cambers had 21 assists and Kourtney Brewster finished with three aces.
"It's just the mental mistakes that we make," Lady Wildcats coach Kerry Roy said. "It's all mental and we've just got to be able to get over that. No excuses."
Neosho fell to 1-4.
Whitney Wise led Neosho with four aces and seven assists. Morgan Rogers turned in 10 kills and three blocks to lead the team, and Mallory Powell had nine digs.
Neosho won the B game 27-25, 20-25, 25-21.
East Newton entertains Pierce City at 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Neosho is at the Lori Endicott Tournament in Willard on Saturday.

1 jelly roll OR honey bun. {hunky dory featured.}
1/4 – 1/2 yard fabric.
cellophane or plastic wrap.
2″ foam brush.
mod podge or elmer's glue all.
glass bowl.
pick out your favorite bowl.
{or a bowl you like the size & shape of.}
take some jelly roll strips and cut them in half.
{i cut right on the fold.}
flip your bowl so the bottom is up.
cover the outside of your bowl in cellophane.
{make sure you get all the air out.}
dump your mod podge or glue into a bowl.
{this will ensure a much easier work environment. trust me.}
paint a thin layer of glue all over the cellophane.
lay a jelly roll strip, right side down, across your bowl.
paint another thin layer of glue over your strip.
keep layering strips and gluing until the bottom is completely covered.
take your piece of fabric, right side up, and drape it over your bowl.
start pressing the fabric against the bowl.
remember: pleats are good. they add character.
trim your excess fabric off.
paint another coat of glue all over your fabric.
set your bowl out in the sun to dry.
make sure you check on it periodically.
{you'd hate to find debris dried on your fabric.}note: i placed my bowl on aluminum foil.
it attracts the sun and helps it dry faster.
when your bowl is completely dry, take it out of it's mold.
your fabric bowl should look something like mine.
bad hair day & all.
trim those stragglers.
and add the good stuff.
note: to reverse the look of the bowl, like i did with the smaller one, let the jelly roll strips show on the outside with the whole cloth on the inside.
it's fun to mix & match.
this is a great craft to do with kids.
my kiddos love making these.
& they're perfect for every holiday.
gotta love all those holiday fabrics & candies.
hope yall enjoy!!!
