neuromuscular disorder that is characterized by progressive muscle stiffness; continuously contracting or twitching muscles (myokymia); and diminished reflexes. Signs and symptoms generally develop between ages 15 and 60, with most people experiencing symptoms before age 40. Although the exact underlying cause is unknown, there appear to be hereditary and acquired (non-inherited) forms of the condition. Treatment is based on the sign and symptoms present in each person.[1][2][3]Isaacs' syndrome is a rare

New program promotes safety in digital life
Virginia students will learn the benefits and dangers of the Internet and other technology, and may be drawn to math and science careers, thanks to an online program being offered free to the state's schools.
"Students today have access to the tools necessary to succeed – computers, the Internet, smartphones. But do they know how to leverage technology in a responsible and safe way?" said Virginia Secretary of Education Laura Fornash. "We owe it to our children and students to teach them how to use technology responsibly."
Fornash and other officials introduced the program, called My Digital Life, at a press conference at the state Capitol on Thursday.
The computer program teaches students the inner workings of the Internet and how to use technology safely, Gov. Bob McDonnell said. It was created by Neustar Inc., which analyzes the Internet, telecommunications, entertainment, advertising and marketing industries, and EverFi Inc., an education technology company.
The program also aims to spark student interest in jobs that incorporate science, technology, engineering and math. Neustar is providing the program to public schools at no cost to the state, said Lisa Hook, the company's president and chief executive officer.
Since its development, the Internet has dramatically changed the economy, education and other aspects of society.
"I can't think in my short 57 years of anything that revolutionized American life more than the Internet," McDonnell said. "People are just communicating in vastly different ways, and they're also learning in very different ways."
The changes haven't all been positive. Schools, parents and students are concerned about Internet issues of privacy, security, cyberbullying and the irresponsible use of social networks, Fornash said.
The My Digital Life program is a course of about three and a half hours for eighth- and ninth-grade students. Through modules and simulations, it demonstrates how things like emailing, downloading, streaming and websites work, EverFi CEO Tom Davidson said.
As part of the course, students will learn "how to evaluate the risks of posting their personal information online, how to respond to cyberbullying and the obvious dangers of texting and driving," U.S. Sen. Mark Warner said.
"Our kids are living their lives online, and this is a great new partnership to try to make sure that young people learn how to use the Internet and social media tools in a safer, more positive and responsible way."
My Digital Life will not be a mandatory part of the state curriculum but rather a voluntary course option at the discretion of superintendents and principals, McDonnell said. "One of the best things we can do is to give young people sort of the no-nonsense pros and cons about Internet and cyberliteracy, and that's what My Digital Life is all about."
The initiative ties in with the governor's emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math, known as the STEM disciplines.
Hook said she hopes My Digital Life leads students to consider careers in STEM fields, such as those as Neustar. The company, which has about 700 employees in Virginia, analyzes and processes phone calls and text messages in North America as well 15 percent of the world's Internet traffic, all on a daily basis, Hook said.
"It takes incredibly talented people with a science, technology, engineering and math background," Hook said.
There is a growing demand for people with such skills. About 3 million STEM-based jobs are unfilled. By 2017, only 30 percent of all STEM positions will be filled by employees with an American education, Hook said.
"This is not just about digital literacy, and it's not just about making children feel safe on the Internet," Hook said. "But it's teaching them how to conduct business on the Internet, how to set up a business, how to feel comfortable in a digital world and most importantly encourage them to go into STEM."

What is your identity worth? According to the Global Internet Security Threat Report from Symantec, credit card numbers go for as little as 40 cents on the black market. Complete access to a bank account? Just $10.
Not so long ago, one's identity didn't involve so many dollars and cents. Discussions of privacy seemed better suited to the realm of academic debates or conspiracy theories. Today, unfortunately, the context is too often one of ripped-off consumers, with tales of swiped credit card numbers, false mortgages, and employment fraud leading to many cumulative hours spent, perhaps over years, trying to clean up the mess.
Of course when someone comes gunning for granny's life savings, "good Samaritans" won't be far behind.
Take identity theft monitoring service providers. The pitch? Give us your Social Security number and notification of suspicious identity activity is only an e-mail alert or phone call away. These services, which typically cost $10 to $20 per month, offer to guard your identity by monitoring the three credit-reporting agencies (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion), cell phone applications, government databases, and public information. Some also provide insurance (subject to underwriting, and not valid in every state) to help defray costs associated with recovering from identity theft cases.
5 (Mostly) Free Alternatives To ID Theft Monitoring Services
What No Identity Theft Monitoring Can Catch
Others offer even more. For example, Intersections' Identity Guard ($17 per month for the "Total Protection" plan) says it uses "patented scanning technology" to maintain "daily surveillance of the Internet's 'back alley' chat rooms and news groups" and see if your identity is for sale. Secure Identity Systems ($7 per month) says it "tracks hundreds of databases that use Social Security numbers, including utilities, DMV records, financial institution records, and more."
MyPublicInfo ($80 for a six-month "Public Information Profile") watches criminal records and real estate reports. Debix ($99 per year) automatically calls you at home or on your cell phone the moment someone obtains new credit in your name. LifeLock ($10 per month) requests "that your name be removed from pre-approved credit card and junk mail lists, and we keep making the requests as they expire," so would-be attackers can't swipe credit card offers from your mailbox. According to LifeLock, "we've got your back."
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Caution: Keep away from any source of flame. Pampers Diapers, like almost any article of clothing, will burn if exposed to flame. To avoid risk of choking on plastic, padding, or other materials, do not allow your child to tear the diaper, or handle any loose pieces of the diaper. Discard any torn or unsealed diaper, or any loose pieces of the diaper. To avoid suffocation, keep all plastic bags away from babies and children. If you notice gel-like material on your baby's skin, don't be alarmed. This comes from the diaper padding and can be easily removed by wiping your baby's skin with a soft dry cloth.

Changing a diaper: Place tabs parallel to the waistband and centered on the character strip. Use the characters as guides to ensure the fasteners are evenly spaced. Keep baby products such as powder away from the fasteners so they maintain their stickiness. Storage: Store your diapers in an area protected from extreme heat and humidity and away from products with fragrances. We recommend that diapers be kept in a dry storage area where the temperature is 85° or less.

Israel is one of the world's top arms exporters, and most of its customers are developing countries. Israel is also one of the world's biggest arms buyers, according to a report, Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing Nations, 2004-2011, by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) at the Library of Congress. The report was sent to Congress on Friday.In 2004-11, Israel signed arms transfer agreements worth $12.9 billion, putting it in eighth place among the world's eleven biggest arms suppliers (behind the US, Russia, France, the UK, Germany, China, and Italy). In 2011, Israel's arms transfer agreements nations totaled $400 million. Arms deliveries totaled $10.6 billion in 2004-11, including $1.8 billion in 2011. (Arms deliveries in any given year are often the results of agreements signed in previous years).

Turn up tunes for an impromptu dance party; cook with my partner; give/receive massages; bubble baths; holding hands and soft kisses; sound of rain/thunder; entertain family & friends; random acts of kindness; spontaneous road trips.
I am up for just about anything. Indoors: Dancing, movies, theatre, and attending music concerts. Outdoors: atttending sporting events, bilking, hiking, playing tennis, boating, grilling out with friends and family.

We address the two inherently related problems of segmentation and interpolation of 3D and 4D sparse data and propose a new method to integrate these stages in a level set framework. The interpolation process uses segmentation information rather than pixel intensities for increased robustness and accuracy. The method supports any spatial configurations of sets of 2D slices having arbitrary positions and orientations. We achieve this by introducing a new level set scheme based on the interpolation of the level set function by radial basis functions. The proposed method is validated quantitatively and/or subjectively on artificial data and MRI and CT scans and is compared against the traditional sequential approach, which interpolates the images first, using a state-of-the-art image interpolation method, and then segments the interpolated volume in 3D or 4D. In our experiments, the proposed framework yielded similar segmentation results to the sequential approach but provided a more robust and accurate interpolation. In particular, the interpolation was more satisfactory in cases of large gaps, due to the method taking into account the global shape of the object, and it recovered better topologies at the extremities of the shapes where the objects disappear from the image slices. As a result, the complete integrated framework provided more satisfactory shape reconstructions than the sequential approach.

AAFES Fiscal 2015
Million-Dollar Vendors
The following list, derived from information furnished by the Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), identifies 648 suppliers doing more than $1 million in business with the exchange service in fiscal 2015.
The number of million-dollar companies is somewhat lower than it was on the fiscal 2014 list, but the club continues to be an exclusive one. Its membership list is an honor roll testifying to quality merchandise and sustained performance.
According to AAFES, dollar amounts shown reflect sales versus finance and accounting payments. Previous years' rankings shown here are based on data furnished in 2015, 2014, and 2013. In the following list, sales generated by subsidiaries, bottlers, wholesalers and distributors of beverage producers have in general been rolled up into one sales figure, assigned to the producer.
In some cases in which each of two or more divisions of a single company did more than $1 million in business with AAFES, sales from divisions/subsidiaries have been combined into a single total. In others, the divisions are listed separately and are marked with an asterisk (*). Not included on the list are government agencies with which AAFES does business. ...

Wearing the Real Deal: Authorized Supply Only
For the last 24 months, Lt. Col. (Dr.) James R. Auvil, USA, OD, MBA, FAAO, has been the program manager of the Tri-Service Vision Conservation & Readiness Program (TSVCRP) at the Army Public Health Center (Provisional), where military optometrists and staff spearhead the optimization of visual performance, eye health, and eye safety in the U.S. military, to ensure a visually ready force.
Any Soldier, Sailor, Marine, Airman or Coastguardsman looking for sunglasses or tactical eyewear will come up with many options, but very few optical devices will actually make it to the Army's Authorized Protective Eyewear List (APEL). In this exclusive interview, Lt. Col. Auvil discusses some of the eyewear differences military customers and store managers should be aware of and the cutting-edge research and development fueling the next wave of vision optimization. ...
E&C News: What separates items on the APEL list from other eyewear that might look "tactical" but isn't suitable for missions or military environments?
LTC Auvil: APEL products provide a critical force protection benefit to servicemembers. In the U.S. and internationally, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) establishes standards for eyewear. The ANSI Z87 standards cover impact resistance for personal eyewear and face shields. When protective eyewear carries Z87 markings, it means the products are rated impact resistant and meet the ANSI Z87 requirements.
On top of that, the military requires APEL-listed optical devices to meet ballistics specifications that far exceed regular impact standards. In fact, the APEL products' ballistic protection levels are five to six times greater than the civilian Z87 impact standard.
Secondly, it is important to get authentic products. There are only two authorized supply channels for APEL products, and that's through the Department of Defense (DoD) supply systems such as the unit supply process and the central issue facility, and also through Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES), Navy Exchange Service Command (NEXCOM), Marine Corps Exchange (MCX), and Coast Guard Exchange (CGX) exchanges, and AAFES Military Clothing Stores (MCS).
Those are the only authorized sources to ensure servicemembers receive only genuine APEL products. Manufacturers are required to mark APEL products on the left side of the optical device and are prohibited from marketing or selling APELmarked products outside the DoD.
Those two requirements are intended to prevent anyone from illegally selling an APEL product on the civilian market, because they just can't mark those things for any use other than DoD use. ...

Winslow T. Wheeler, former staffer at the Senate Budget Committee, currently working for the Center for Defense Information, has just published an extraordinary analysis of American casualties in Iraq which he says total more than 44,000 servicemen have died or been injured. (You can read his article at counterpunch.com.)
Here is a thumbnail rundown of his findings, which are mostly based on two well-known sources.
In October 2006, 104 uniformed American military personnel died in the war in Iraq. As of Nov. 1 of this year, 2,817 Americans have died in the war of all causes; 239 military personnel have been killed from other countries (UK: 120; "other": 119), for a grand total of 3,055 deaths from the coalition forces. (See these and more data at Iraq Coalition Casualty Count.)
More from Wheeler: "The leading cause of non-hostile deaths were vehicle accidents (201 deaths, or 7 percent of the total). Other causes included: helicopter accidents: 74, or 3 percent; weapon accidents: 76, or 3 percent; friendly fire: 8, or 0.3 percent; homicides: 7, or 0.2 percent; and suicides: 3, or 0.1 percent."
The wounded category is the most startling. "Contrary to the approximate 20,000 wounded that the press typically reports, the www.icasualties.org website reports the following: 14,414 wounded -- no medical air transport required; 6,273 wounded -- medical air transport required; 6,430 non-hostile injuries -- medical air transport required; 17,662 diseases -- medical air transport required."
Thus, he reports, "Grand Total: 44,779... Counting all forms of wounds, injuries, and illness, the total 'casualties' are more than twice the number typically reported in the press.''

Initiatives to make marijuana the "lowest law enforcement priority" are on ballots in five cities this year - California's Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz and Santa Monica, as well as Missoula, Montana and Eureka Springs, Arkansas. It's not quite as goofy an idea as it sounds - similar measures have already passed in Seattle and Oakland. No big surprise that three coastal California towns are thinking of following suit - but it sure does make me curious about Eureka Springs.

Campaign spending on television ads is on track to hit a record $2 billion this year, which means a windfall for broadcasters, reports Bloomberg News (via the Wilshire and Washington blog). In some areas they're literally running out of airtime to sell; in others, they're happily price-gouging. "We start them out at the top fixed rate, which nobody pays by the way, then we double it. It will triple in the final week, " says the general manager of an Albuquerque station.

Via Political Wire (an excellent poll and politics site; if you haven't checked it out, you should):
"A substantial majority of Americans expect Democrats to reduce or end American military involvement in Iraq if they seize control of Congress next Tuesday, and say that Republicans would maintain -- or increase -- troop levels to try to win the war," according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
"The poll found that just 29% of Americans approve of the way President Bush is managing the war in Iraq, matching the lowest mark of his presidency. Nearly 70% of Americans said Mr. Bush did not have a plan to end the war, and 80% said Mr. Bush's latest offensive to rally public support for the conflict amounted to a change in language but not policy."
"The poll underlined the extent to which the war in Iraq has framed the midterm elections. It comes at a time when Democratic challengers across the country are running a final sweep of television advertisements attacking Mr. Bush's handling of the war and as even some Republican incumbents -- fearful of being swept out of office because of public opposition to the war -- have become critical of it."
In the generic congressional ballot, Democrats lead Republicans by a stunning 19 points, 53% to 33%.

Stop the presses! The Palm Beach Post reports that:
An alleged voting violation by GOP pundit and bestselling author Ann Coulter will be investigated by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer's office.
Arthur Anderson, Palm Beach County's elections supervisor, said today that he would refer the accusation that Coulter voted knowingly in the wrong precinct Feb. 7 in a town of Palm Beach election to the state attorney "within 48 hours."
Anderson said that Coulter, since the allegations surfaced, made "efforts to distract and divert focus on the process regarding this complaint."
"I did express my frustration to the state attorney in a recent meeting and warned him I may need his services," Anderson said.
Ironically, Anderson said that Coulter's voting rights would not be rescinded for next week's election.
Ok, so that's not "ironic," just like rain on your wedding day or a black fly in your Chardonnay or a free ride when you've already paid aren't ironic either. These are all merely unfortunate (or perhaps, in the case of Coulter, bureaucratic.
Misuse (or abuse) of exclamation points in blog posts is, however, perfectly acceptable. Dontcha think?

To dip briefly into the Botchgate fray, when Bush called for an apology from Kerry during a campaign stop in Georgia yesterday it marked the tenth time that the word "apology" has been used in official speeches or remarks by the President and VP in their nearly six years in office. ("Apologize" shows up 24 times, mostly when the press apologize for interrupting, Bush for inconveniencing folks with his bike riding, etc.) Bush has always ducked from apologizing or taking any onus where things go awry, in Iraq and elsewhere.
It's not like he hasn't been asked:
April 13, 2004 - Question re 9/11 Intelligence:
Q Two weeks ago, a former counterterrorism official at the NSC, Richard Clarke, offered an unequivocal apology to the American people for failing them prior to 9/11. Do you believe the American people deserve a similar apology from you, and would you be prepared to give them one?
THE PRESIDENT: Look, I can understand why people in my administration anguished over the fact that people lost their life. I feel the same way. I mean, I'm sick when I think about the death that took place on that day. And as I mentioned, I've met with a lot of family members and I do the best I do to console them about the loss of their loved one. As I mentioned, I oftentimes think about what I could have done differently. I can assure the American people that had we had any inkling that this was going to happen, we would have done everything in our power to stop the attack.
Here's what I feel about that. The person responsible for the attacks was Osama bin Laden. That's who's responsible for killing Americans. And that's why we will stay on the offense until we bring people to justice.
April 6, 2006 - Response to a Question re NSA Wiretapping:
THE PRESIDENT: I'd like to describe that decision I made about protecting this country. You can come to whatever conclusion you want. The conclusion is I'm not going to apologize for what I did on the terrorist surveillance program, and I'll tell you why. We were accused in Washington, D.C. of not connecting the dots, that we didn't do everything we could to protect you or others from the attack. And so I called in the people responsible for helping to protect the American people and the homeland. I said, is there anything more we could do.
June 14 2006 Question re Plamegate:
Q Mr. President, when you ran for office for the first time, you said you would hold the White House to a higher ethical standard. Even if Karl Rove did nothing illegal, I wonder whether you can say now whether you approve of his conduct in the CIA leak episode, and do you believe he owes Scott McClellan or anyone else an apology for misleading them?
THE PRESIDENT: I appreciate the job that the prosecutor did. I thought he conducted himself well in this investigation. He took a very thorough, long look at allegations and rumors. And I, obviously, along with others in the White House, took a sigh of relief when he made the decision he made. And now we're going to move forward. And I trust Karl Rove, and he's an integral part of my team.
Katrina, Iraq, the list goes on. No apologies.
Josh HarkinsonNov. 1, 2006 1:29 PM
Countering the Republican National Committee's now-infamous TV ad quoting Osama bin Laden, Democrats today began airing a television spot arguing that the Iraq occupation has spread the military too thin, increased terrorism and diverted attention from seeking bin Laden's capture. It features arguments by three Iraq veteransone of them an amputeeand retired General Wesley Clark, each of whom repeat the words, "because of Iraq."
The 30-second ad comes 11 days after Republicans began showing a 60-second spot suggesting the GOP was the only party capable of combating terrorism. To the sound of a ticking clock it featured a sepia-toned montage of terrorist leaders and their underlings carrying weapons, burning things and kicking people. It concluded: "These are the stakes." (The ad mirrored President Lyndon Baines Johnson's Cold-War-era "Daisy" ad, which helped re-elect him during the Vietnam War. That ad juxtaposed a girl plucking a daisy against an exploding nuclear bomb, saying, "These are the stakes to make a world in which all God's children can live or go into the dark.")
Sponsored by the VoteVets PAC, today's Democratic retort builds on the party's efforts to decouple the Iraq war from the War on Terror. It closes with Clark standing in front of a replay of the bin Laden ad like a well-dressed schoolteacher. "So, if you see commercials, telling you to be afraid of terrorism," he says, "remember, it's because of Iraq."
Meanwhile, the RNC moved on to more fertile national security terrain today, replacing the bin Laden ad on the front page of its website with a new spot calling on Sen. John Kerry to apologize for his comment yesterday that a poor education leads "you (to) get stuck in Iraq." Kerry said he'd meant to imply that Bush was uneducated, but the Republican ad suggested he was impugning rank-and-file soldiersit juxtaposed the comment with quotes from Republicans lauding the troops.

Conrad Burns, running behind in Montana's Senate race, is the beneficiary of an advertising campaign by the National Rifle Association -- 7 billboards; 4,143 radio ads on 88 stations; 1,824 cable tv ads; and inserts in 11 newspapers.
Nationwide, the NRA is all over this election. In a video ad running on Newsmax, the NRA describes how victims of hurricane Katrina had their guns forcefully yanked out of their hands by bullying cops. One elderly woman who was trying to protect her dogs says she was slammed against the wall and put in a headlock by the invading police when they saw she was clutching a pistol in one hand. Then there's the little old African-American minister woman who was plenty put out when the cops came to her house. "Why come and get my gun?'' she says in the ad. "I am a good citizen. What are you worried about me for? I am a widow.I am 65 and I am here by myself.''
But she wasn't scared: "I had my Bible and I had my gun.''

Michigan's Proposition 2 (a dead ringer for California's Proposition 209 which passed in 1996) is in a tight spot in the polls with only a week to go.
The proposition would ban any affirmative action programs that "give preferential treatment to individuals or groups based on their race, gender, color, ethnicity, or national origin." Also known as the "Michigan Civil Rights Initiative" the proposition's campaign is funded by Ward Connerly, the same man responsible for the California proposal and is headed by Jennifer Gratz
plaintiff in the 2003 University of Michigan Supreme Court case, which upheld the school's use of race as a factor in admissions while also outlawing their formal points system in making such decisions.
Conservative students on the Michigan campus have been actively supporting the measure while the National Bar Association, the UAW, the ACLU and both the Republican and Democratic gubernatorial candidates oppose it.
Connerly, who is African American, has spent $500,000 on the Michigan campaign, and has been on a zealous crusade to end affirmative action programs for more than a decade. As he told the New York Times, "When my toes turn up, that's when I'll stop fighting this."
Poll numbers suggest many in Michigan haven't made up their minds yet. An October 18 Detroit Free Press poll showed 41% in favor, 44% opposed and 15% undecided.
Should the measure pass California could be a window into the future, where numbers of Latino and African students in the state's University of California system have dropped significantly since 1997 (the year after Prop 209 passed). At UC Berkeley this year only 3% of the entering freshman class was African American and at UCLA the number was 2%, the lowest in 30 years.

'First Take': Should the Cowboys hire Norv?
January 1, 2013
On Tuesday, ESPN's "First Take" debated Jason Garrett saying he won't give up his offensive coordinator duties by hiring Norv Turner. Turner's record as a head coach is mixed, but as a coordinator his reputation is intact. Skip Bayless thinks Turner and Garrett would have difficulty coexisting, but he could help turn around Tony Romo's career like he helped turn around Troy Aikman's back in the day. Stephen A. Smith thinks that the question is moot -- Garrett's refusal warrants his firing. What's your take?

The Spirit of Mickey (1998) (dtv/tv movies)
This list gets all disney animated films together and is being constantly…
2006 Directed by Jim Kammerud
Best friends Tod, a fox kit, and Copper, a hound puppy, visit a country fair when they see a band of dogs called "The Singin' Strays". The band has five members: Dixie, Cash, Granny Rose, and twin brothers Waylon and Floyd. It is important that they perform well because a talent scout is visiting.
In general I like a lot of Disney's animated sequels, but there's always an exception to any rule.
This one falls flat mostly because of it's lame story. Copper joins a group of singing dogs for an audition in hopes of becoming a star. Not exactly a timeless story (which is one of the many reasons why Disney's animated classics are loved and cherished even today), but rather something based on a trend.
The music is made up of soulless, modern country-pop. Predictable and boring.
You're killing me Disney! You're killing me!
Grr ... while this film does have some cute animals, it is once again an unnecessary and by the end, tedious flick. I have no idea why Disney decided to make sequels to movies when they didn't really have anything to back them up with. No wonder Walt was so against sequels, as he feared they'd cheapen the original product and thus far, of all Disney films that I've seen, such appears to be the case.
What was the point in releasing a sequel 25 years later? It isn't Bamby.
Bizarre midquel: the Hound joins a band. Doesn't quite work, given the vibe of the first film but this is tolerable enough. The scenes where Reba McEntire and Patrick Swayze bicker are amusing.
Not as good as the original but still has its good moments. The musical moments weren't that bad either but perhaps a little unnecessary.
There isn't a movie here. It's that simple. No reason to waste your time on this one. I've been watching some of these post late-90s Disney movies recently. It's like they caved into pressure from knockoff studios such as Good Times Entertainment, Golden Films, and Dingo Pictures. So, they started making their own higher quality knockoffs/warrantless sequels. This is one of them.
Like a chapter during the middle of the original film, which would've been cool seeing more time with Tod and Copper, but there's all this mess with a traveling, singing dog group and it just takes away from the charm of the original film. It becomes more about these dogs then the alleged stars of the film.
The music is once again pretty weak, add in it's all country so it makes me like it even less.
Some of the other characters return, all three of the bird friends are missing.
Also, since Copper's master hated and wanted to kill Tod, the very existence of the film is highly questionable.
Animation also looks worse then the original
Not quite as good as the original but the characters are well done and entertaining.
It's like they have not even watched the first movie at all.
What was the point in releasing a sequel 25 years later? It isn't Bamby.
When I thought to myself that what The Fox and the Hound needed was more time spent fleshing out the friendship between young Tod and young Copper in order to make the eventual dissolution of that relationship more tragic, this isn't what I had in mind. Everything about this movie -- its animation, its story, its tone, its ambition -- is of its time, a reflection of the values placed upon throwaway children's productions in the mid-aughts, and as such it completely clashes with the original movie. Other than sharing some characters, the original and this DTV midquel have nothing in common. It's like eagles mating and hatching a pigeon. It sets a new bar for utter uselessness.
While they played on the cute factor, this movie was nothing compared to the original, still cute with some funny scenes, this is nothing like the first.
Bizarre midquel: the Hound joins a band. Doesn't quite work, given the vibe of the first film but this is tolerable enough. The scenes where Reba McEntire and Patrick Swayze bicker are amusing.

- To prepare topping: Combine 3/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add egg, egg white, orange zest and juice; stir until blended and smooth.
- Sprinkle cranberries over the baked crust. Pour the orange mixture over the cranberries and sprinkle with pistachios.
- Bake until golden and set, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack; if possible, chill before cutting into squares.
Tips & Notes
- Make Ahead Tip: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month
- Note: Whole-wheat pastry flour is milled from soft wheat. It contains less gluten than regular whole-wheat flour and helps ensure a tender result in delicate baked goods while providing the nutritional benefits of whole grains.
- Tips: To make quick work of chopping cranberries, place whole berries in a food processor and pulse a few times until the berries are coarsely chopped.
- To toast chopped pistachios, cook in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2 to 4 minutes. .
- Storage smarts: To extend the life of your baked goods, store them in an airtight container in a single layer or between layers of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

As of 2014, the causes of kidney cysts are unclear, according to WebMD. These cysts do not appear to have a genetic component. Males are more prone to kidney cysts than females, and these cysts are extremely common in people over 50.Continue Reading
Kidney cysts are round, fluid-filled growths on the kidney, according to Mayo Clinic. Serious disorders, such as polycystic kidney disease, frequently lead to kidney cysts, but many kidney cysts arise without an apparent etiology. These are known as simple kidney cysts.
Simple kidney cysts do not impact kidney function in a major way, according to the National Kidney and Urologic Disease Information Clearinghouse, although one study suggested some decrease in kidney function among those under 60 with kidney cysts. In most cases, the cysts are asymptomatic. However, some patients experience pain or discomfort in the abdomen if the cysts press on other organs. Additionally, if the cysts become infected, the patient may experience fever, pain and tenderness.
WebMD states that most kidney cysts never require treatment. However, if a cyst grows large enough to cause pronounced pain or effect organ functions, a doctor may opt to drain the cyst. After drainage, cysts are unlikely to recur. In the rare cases where they do, doctors can burn or remove the cyst completely to prevent recurrence.Learn more about Conditions & Diseases
According to Mayo Clinic, baker's cysts are caused by injuries or arthritic conditions that result in the knee joint producing excess synovial fluid, which is a substance naturally created by the body that is essential for preventing friction between the joints and bones of the knee. As the fluid builds up, it can create a cyst behind the knee.Full Answer >
According to the Center for Specialized Gynecology, pelvic cysts are fluid-filled pockets that form in the pelvic region, most often on the ovaries. Symptoms of pelvic and ovarian cysts include irregular menstrual cycles, frequent urination, pelvic pain and nausea. Pelvic cysts are sometimes caused by incomplete ovulation and can also occur after surgical procedures. In many cases, pelvic cysts clear up without treatment, but certain cases require medical treatment.Full Answer >
Sebaceous cysts are removed from the scalp through incision and drainage, minor surgery or laser removal, according to the Mayo Clinic. Most commonly removed due to discomfort or cosmetic reasons, sebaceous cysts typically don't cause any serious health problems. It is important to avoid popping or picking at a sebaceous cyst, as this can cause scarring and infection.Full Answer >
Pancreatic cysts may be treated with careful observation, draining and surgery depending on the type of cysts on the organ, according to the Mayo Clinic. Objects called benign pseudocysts and serous cystadenomas usually do not become cancerous, and these cysts can be left alone unless they cause symptoms. Any cysts smaller than 0.39 inch, or 1 centimeter, can be viewed with a CT scan after one year.Full Answer >

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella (Twilight Saga) (Unabridged)
by Stephenie Meyer
Open iTunes to Buy
Fans of The Twilight Saga will be enthralled by this riveting story of Bree Tanner, a character first introduced in Eclipse, and the darker side of the newborn vampire world she inhabits. In another irresistible combination of danger, mystery, and romance, Stephenie Meyer tells the devastating story of Bree and the newborn army as they prepare to close in on Bella Swan and the Cullens, following their encounter to an unforgettable conclusion.
Customer Reviews
Better than expected
I was surprised by how captivating this story was to me. I'm a big fan of the Twilight series, but I never really had much of an interest in the enemy's point of view. Bree's story is dark and heart-wrenching. You wouldn't expect to empathize so much with this newborn monster. Any fan of the series will gain a greater understanding of the story by "reading" this.
Well done
This book gave a great look at the evil vampires how their minds can truly figure things out. If you are a twilight fan you need to take the time to read it or listen to it!! Enjoy!
Suprisingly very good
I liked this alot and found myself agonizing over how short it was wanting it to last much longer but even as short as it was i was drawn in by Bree and her friends at felt bad for them knowing how they end up from the start and thank god there was a new person reading i didnt miss the voice from the other audio books in the series

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
Free Health Care!
Column by Jim Davies.
Exclusive to STR
the extraordinary burden of paperwork, imposed by both government and insurers, will disappear. Physicians will keep only such records as enable them to deliver competitive service to patients. One office assistant will suffice to support several.
enormous "malpractice" settlements will disappear with John Edwards, together with the vast insurance premiums physicians must pay to acquire protection. Mistakes will again be recognized as human frailty, and frequent mistakes will swiftly bring their own cost in terms of loss of market share. Settlements in egregious cases will be made by arbiters able to relate to both parties in the dispute--unlike today's jurors, raised on the premise that money grows on trees and that high earnings exist to be plundered.
most of all, licensure will vanish, so anyone will be free to hang out a shingle and treat what he can, knowing that if he treats badly, his practice will not last. Competition, in other words, will return to the health-care industry after an absence of over a century. No better way of optimizing (reducing) prices has yet been found.
"In the coming free society...," there will be much more of an incentive for people to take care of themselves and do their own acts of prevention, so they won't get or will rarely get sick. When people learn that risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking and drugs, as well as a diet of junk foods and high fructose corn syrup, will catch up with them at some point down the road and they will NOT have any "free" health care available (and some people will learn the hard way, unfortunately), they will avoid those risky behaviors and/or they will instill in their kids such a desire to be personally responsible for themselves and their health.

G'day Scott Lazarowitz,
Thumb up!
Having lived as a member of the "free society", (i.e.as a non-member of the political corporation), for a dozen or so years, I can tell you, firsthand, you are absolutely, positively correct.
Individual Liberty and Personal Responsibility are the Obverse and Reverse of the Coin called Freedom.

The Aviator is a 2004 American biographical drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, written by John Logan.

Reilly, Alec Baldwin, Jude Law as Errol Flynn, Gwen Stefani as Jean Harlow, Kelli Garner as Faith Domergue, Willem Dafoe, Alan Alda, and Edward Herrmann. Wikipedia
Katharine Hepburn: Men can't be friends with women Howard. They must posses them or leave them be. It's a primitive urge from caveman days. It's all in Darwin. Hunt the flesh. Kill the flesh. Eat the flesh. That's the, ah, male sex all over.

I know it's probably been mentioned, but I'd personally prefer a wiki of common examples/'Best Practices' (which could include examples from contrib too). Also, when lists start to get really noisy, it's nice to have a compiled FAQ-style page (with email replies pasted directly in). Goes a long way to reducing traffic. -Robert On Wed, 2005-03-16 at 16:57 +0100, Michael Wechner wrote: > Hi > > Would it make sense to create a user mailing list for Jackrabbit? > > I am aware that traffic might not be so high yet and it's good > to see for devs what users have trouble with but I think it would be good > anyway. > > Thanks > > Michi >

The Pocket Dwellers (sometimes known as the "Mighty Mighty Pocket Dwellers") are a seven member experimental hip-hop group from the Toronto area. They have been performing since 1996. The band's main genre is hip-hop, but their music is influenced by jazz, funk, soul and breakbeat.
They released their first full length record in 2000 after they signed a recording deal with the ill-fated Song Corp. Soon after the October release the label had investors pull out and the label went bankrupt in early 2001. It left the Dwellers in limbo because the highly anticipated release of Digitally Organic was sort of lost in the labels inability to support the product.
The next release was the album recorded live at a club in Toronto called th Reverb. It included excerpts from back to back sold out performances. The recording was released under Urbnet records and did well in re-establishing the band's image for performing live and with unparalleled energy.
In 2005 they signed with Blue Note/EMI and released PD-Atrics. The recording was more hip hop based and involved less live instrumentation than had been employed in the past.

This restaurant is apparently part of Jacaranda Hotels group and is located next to the hotel in Westlands. It is very spacious, has and indoor and outdoor part, bar with TVs for watching sports events (mainly), a children's playground. Unfortunately, their pizza was awful, not tasty at all, very dry, the one with tuna only had a very, very distant hint of this ingredient, and the one with four kinds of cheese was terribly spicy and it was unbearable to eat it. On the plus side, they had a very nice band playing, and it seems they have this band every Friday. The musicians made very nice atmosphere, there was space for dancing. Loud music makes in impossible to talk, but all in all it was a nice evening, pity the food was not up to this level. But, they have some meat dishes, grilled vegetables, and also some kind of African buffet during the day (Monday - Friday). If you go, go for music, not for pizza.
