Unexpected Excellence,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frozen (DVD)
I went to the theater expecting the usual dumb kids movie, and was blown away. I LOVED this film and instantly added the DVD to my wishlist. Honestly, my favorite movies are The Hunt for the Red October, Galaxy Quest, Pixar's Incredibles, Princess Bride, Ponyo, Sound of Music, and Lord of the Rings Extended Editions. I gravitate to no particular genre, but only to what I find are the absolute best movies. Frozen is up there with the best movies I have ever seen. Period.
Why is this film so good? 1. It teaches real love. Love is about putting the other person's needs first. Love is shown in your actions not your words. I am so floored that a kids movie actually taught this and even took the time to point out you never get engaged or married to a guy you just met. WOW... a Disney film not about being swept off your feet by a guy in 3 seconds? Its about time. 2. The side kick characters are not annoying.... seriously!! Its like the difference between Jar Jar Binks and R2D2. These side kicks are more like R2D2 whereas past Disney sidekicks were like Jar Jar Binks. These side-kicks from the reindeer to snow monster were done exactly right. They add humor to the show and dimension without ever getting in the way of the story or you wanting to strangle them. Way to go Disney!!! Any way you can retroactively edit sidekicks in older films? 3. The plot themes are serious yet with enough humor that it doesn't feel too serious AND without the humor taking away from the story line. What a great balance to hit just right. Ok so the story line is a bit simplistic because its a kid movie, but it still has twists and turns. I did not find the story predictable because I was expecting another one of those princesses falling in love movies.. and this was not typical. The story teaches important themes like what love really is, the weight of responsibility, how to use power rightly vs. wrongly, and empathy for others. 4. Great music. The opening song grabs you and whisks you away to another world. Every song helps you connect more deeply to each character... and pulls you deeper into the story. I have never felt so much empathy in a musical since Fiddler on the Roof... and I'm not that emotional of a person. So if you have daughters, grandchildren, nieces, or work in childcare... get this movie. You will be able to watch it over and over without going insane. The kids will learn what true love really is and what to watch out for in love.... its not what all those other princess movies teach. So you can rest easy.

Disney's magical Snow Queen animated musical/fairy tale DVD,
By E. Ocasio (Mayaguez, PR) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frozen (DVD)
I won't be repeating what many have said about the story, all I say is that is a new and different approach to the typical fairy tale.
Inspired by events and characters in Hans Christian Andersen tale The Snow Queen, is a must have in your Disney DVD collection or animated movies collection. With wonderful songs and performances and visually stunning details of snow and ice everywhere is a delight to the ears and eyes. A true classic and unique story with the usual Disney brand of humor, warmth, BUT a surprising twist and a different kind of happy ending that will delight every member of your family. The movie's pacing or rhythm is very well done, you and your children won't be bored at all always anticipating what's to come next. It does not have a dull moment. The DVD includes the animated new Mickey Mouse short Get A Horse, music video of Demi Lovato's version of the Academy Award song Let It Go, as well as the Latin Spanish and Italian versions of it by the actress/singer Martina Stoessel. Also several Disney movies shorts of current and upcoming movies on DVD., and the original teaser short with Olaf the snowman and Sven the reindeer. DVD settings include French language (Canadian) and Spanish (Latin American)., as well as subtitles in those languages, and of course in English.

Can you really have too much Frozen?,
This review is from: Frozen Sing Along Edition (1-Disc DVD + Digital HD) (DVD)
I'll admit I already have the bluray/dvd version of this. But why not have a spare disc in case you lose it, right? Anyway I like that they have the words for the songs with a bouncing snowflake to follow. Sure, you could put on subtitles but this way the words are only up on the screen during the songs. Also, there is the option to just play the songs without playing the entire movie in the special features section which is nice if you like the songs but don't want to sit through the whole movie.

The magic of Disney!,
This review is from: Frozen [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
And this will teach us all not to judge a book by its cover ever again.
When the trailer for 'Frozen' was dropped a few months back, I predicted a dud. It looked so generic and obvious and unfunny and repetitive and just everything I didn't want it to be. When news of the film broke I was ecstatic. Disney, doing another musical, basing it off of a very dark and disturbing tale. I knew it would get white washed a bit (which I was fine with), but it was a MUSICAL and so I was automatically game for it. Then that trailer deceived me. Still, my daughters were hooked with the very first television spot, and they've had the dolls for nearly a month already, and so we were going to see this opening night. With expectations low (despite some good early ink), there was nowhere to go but up for this film, and it didn't just go up, it blew through the roof! Yes, 'Frozen' is easily Disney's best film since 'Beauty and the Beast' and honestly, one of the best musicals since. It's a visual feast, charming and sincere, and an unexpected twist on a tale of love, family and acceptance with beautiful shades that make this something truly special. The film tells the story of two sisters, Anna and Elsa. In early childhood, they are joined at the hip. Elsa has an ancient power to create ice (a power that is never explained, and quite frankly doesn't need to be) and they use her power as an advantage to their playing. When an accident occurs and Anna is injured, Elsa becomes terrified of her 'gift' and basically locks herself away from everyone and everything, including Anna. The two obviously drift apart ('Do You Want to Build a Snowman' is a marvelous musical moment and brought tears to my eyes) and after the loss of their parents things only get worse. Now fully grown, Anna is a naďve and desperate young woman seeking any attention she can get, and Elsa is distant and misunderstood. On the night of Elsa coronation things go amuck and her secret is exposed to disastrous consequences, and soon Elsa is forced to flee and Anna is left to track her down and 'thaw' her town. Now, many have balked before seeing the film that Anna is reduced to yet another Disney stereotype, a girl who needs a man to get the job done. Ignorance is bliss, I suppose, but 'Frozen' certainly takes a different approach that the one expected and presents us with a lovable tomboy, a klutz who takes risks and places faith and is willing to 'take the bull by the horns', even when its beyond her reach. Sure, she is aided by a man, but she doesn't need him around (and even the twist at the end where it could have easily fallen into stereotype of 'man saves the day' turns out to be even more sincere and honest in the way it finally comes out). Anna is a great role model for young girls (and surprisingly, so is Elsa) and the beautiful bond created by Disney here is unlike anything I've seen them do before. Yes, while the film does eventually give is an antagonist (albeit ever so briefly and the way the villain is handled is light and a very nice change of pace), the beauty of 'Frozen' is that the chief antagonist is not a singular person but the inner struggle to be accepted and understood. Elsa is not a monster, she is simply scared or herself and what she may do to those whom she loves. 'Frozen' does a marvelous job of portraying the bond between sisters and the lengths each will go to protect and love the other. My daughter was in tears over their separation; that is how heartfelt this portrayal is. 'Frozen', in my eyes, is one of the best things Disney has done; ever. The film is a modern-day classic and one that is sure to be remembered and regarded as a beloved nod to the Disney Renaissance with obvious modern twists and its own identity. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I can see this being spoken of in the same circles as 'Beauty and the Beast', 'Cinderella' and 'The Little Mermaid'. While 'Tangled' certainly helped Disney regain their footing after some serious dips in quality, 'Frozen' completely redeems them and proves that they are still as magical as they ever were. Take that Pixar! And let's just talk about the musical angle for just a moment. This is one of those rare gifts that actually feel like a true Broadway show. The use of music is integral to the feel of the story, and the glorious visual expanse helps create an epic and 'larger than life' reality. When Elsa has her big number ('Let it Go' is one of the greatest Disney ballads of all time, easily) you can feel the goose-bumps and your heart starts beating faster. This is a beautifully nostalgic reminder of the power of Disney, and it helps bring those same chills and thrills to a new and younger generation. I have never seen my daughter so excited to be watching a film as I saw her while watching 'Frozen'. It carries a different feeling.

Disney's 'Frozen' the best animated feature in more than a decade,
It's unrealistic to watch animated movies these days and be able to call one better than all the rest - and that goes for Disney movies, too. True enough, each year one animated feature eventually goes on to win an Academy Award, along with several other awards, but for the most part, even the year's most praised film looks just like the last. Only a select few films in the last decade, like Toy Story, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo will withstand the test of time and possibly earn a place in the same conversation as Disney classics, like Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Little Mermaid, and Beauty and the Beast. Still, every now and then, Disney treats animated movie lovers to something special, and to be completely honest, it's been quite a while. This might be a bit premature to say, but Disney has finally struck gold once more (and not just commercially) with a film that has the potential to be one of the greatest animated films every created. That film is called Frozen.
Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee write (along with Shane Morris) and direct Disney's Frozen, loosely based on The Snow Queen - a story created by Hans Christian Anderson. The film begins with the introduction of two young children, both princesses - Elsa and Anna. However, Elsa has the power to control the winter elements, ice and snow. After a terrible accident, the girls' parents decide to isolate Elsa from Anna and wipe Anna's mind clean about Elsa's powers in order to protect Anna from knowing the truth. Flash forward several years, the day has come for Elsa (Idina Menzel) to claim her right as the Queen of Arendelle. Now an adult and Queen, Elsa must face the people of her kingdom, all of whom she has hidden herself away since she is unable to control her powers. Unfortunately, her greatest fear comes true after an encounter with Anna (Kristen Bell), who spontaneously decides she wants to marry a visiting prince, Hans (Santino Fontana). Unwilling to give her blessing for the marriage and angry with her sister, Elsa unintentionally unleashes her powers on the entire kingdom, instantly turning winter to summer. Elsa quickly leaves the kingdom and rushes to the mountains, creating her own palace of ice away from anyone and everyone. Feeling responsible, Anna embarks on a quest, along with a mountain-based ice maker, Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), his reindeer, Sven, and a magical snowman, Olaf (Josh Gad), to bring the Queen home. For whatever reason, Disney moved away from the on-screen musicals that provided some of the most memorable soundtracks in film history. You may recall A Whole New World from Aladdin and Circle of Life from The Lion King as being just the tip of the iceberg in a massive library of memorable songs over a variety of films. In all likelihood, Disney simply got sidetracked with spectacular new animation and the realization that 3D implementation had endless potential (which is hardly the case). Regardless, the diehard lovers of Disney classics will be happy that the company has decided to revisit the musical aspect of storytelling. Both Kristin Bell and Idina Menzel simply thrive with their heartfelt, energetic voices, and even though there's very little about the songs in Frozen that stand out, the hope is that Disney will continue with this classic trend. The music, meshed with the story, easily makes Frozen one of the most unique animated features in recent memory. Just when you think you have this story figured out it will absolutely surprise you with its misdirection. Initially, Frozen appears to be a film that will pit sister vs. sister, sort of like a Good Witch of the North vs. the Wicked Witch of the West dynamic. However, that couldn't be further from the truth as there is a serious amount of character inner turmoil and theme-driven action going on here instead. One princess is desperate to protect the world from her own actions, even though she becomes exactly what she hoped to avoid. The other princess is more traditional with her intent to find true love and save her sister, plus the kingdom (and her sister) - both of which she loves to no end. Like the story itself, the characters are also much different than anything you'd expect out of a film of this nature. Every little girl on this planet will fall in love with Anna, the happiest princess you could possibly ever imagine. Kristin Bell is a splendid choice for this role, bringing an enthusiasm to a character that you can't help but adore. She breaks out into song early and often, singing songs including Do You Want to Build a Snowman? and Love is an Open Door. Even Menzel, who is portraying a bit of a tragic character, sings with reassurance in songs that include Let It Go and For the First Time in Forever. The most outstanding premise in this film is the fact that there is no major antagonist. While that is a bit surprising for an animated film, the story goes in a much more thematic direction. Queen Elsa is the closest thing to a villain in this story, but she doesn't mean to be. Her goal is to protect the people she cares about, but fails miserably. As the story progresses, it becomes more about redeeming an individual that has simply lost her way and needs help to find the path back to "the light." To help the Queen, there are a few odd characters that shine in their own unique manner, including a comical snowman, and a moose that loves his carrots. Even though the film progresses in a mostly serious tone, these two supporting characters won't fail to make you laugh. Overall, there's very little not to like about Frozen. It contains an honest-to-goodness message that parents should feel free subjecting their children to. The film is far lighter on the animated violence that has been much more prominent in many films recently. And, the action sequences that do occur are either playful or of the supernatural variety. For young boys, the constant presence of princesses may be a bit tedious, but the girls will absolutely love them. Anna and Elsa might just be in line for the massive commercial success of Ariel and Tinker Bell. In any event, Disney has a monster hit on their hands that will easily thrive on all formats (theater, home video, etc.) for years and years to come. GRADE: A FNDNreview.com

Best Musical Disney Film Since The Lion King!,
By Rimmit (Kentucky) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have watched every disney animated film put out by the main Disney animation studios and all the Pixar films. This is by far the best "musical" film since The Lion King. The reason I say musical, is that I believe Wreck It Ralph was also an amazin film, but did not have the musical, classic Disney feel to it.
This is truly Disney at it's finest. A catchy soundtrack, fun characters, especially Olaf the Snowman who stole many of the scenes he was in. This is the first Disney soundtrack that I found myself humming to in a long time. I actually just bought it on iTunes which is very rare for me. Disney somehow continues to manage to put out a quality product after all these years, especially, when you think storylines are just getting rehashed over and over again. I must admit, the marketing for this film had me confused as to the actual plot or story of the film, and I was really worried this would be a flop. What a surprise I was in for. It is also nice to not have a movie with a main "villain" and actually instead have it being more about a journey between two sisters. This is a speical bond that sisters have and brothers have with each other, and to have this as a theme is quite refreshing. Disney is truly heading into their second renaissance with Lasseter at the helm. I believe Disney Animation is now surpassing Pixar on a regular basis, or at least two years running. Wreck It Ralph was far superior to Brave, and Frozen crushes Monster's Inc. The streak of films of Bolt (much better than expected), The Princess and the Frog, Tangled, Wreck It Ralph, and now Frozen is one of the hottest streaks Disney Animation has been on in a long time, but truly the last two of Wreck It Ralph and Frozen are destined to become classics for all time. Bravo Disney!

This review is from: Frozen [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
The activation code for the digital copy comes IN the DVD package. Apologies if you are seeing this review on the Instant Video product; Amazon carries the same review across all Frozen movie products, and I wrote this to make sure people saw that they can't buy the DVD and instantly access their digital copy.
Five star movie, one star product delivery. Although this seems like the new normal for DVDs, the description doesn't convey this well enough for those of us that rarely buy DVDs. Please "like" this review if you found it useful to increase the likelihood others will see it. ****** Okay, here is my review of the actual movie: The movie opened in typical Disney fashion, but then completely blew me away. I love the Little Mermaid, Bambi, Dumbo, Cinderella and crew, but the Disney formula is generally pretty set. This movie, Frozen, opened with a beautiful princess, parents dying, a handsome prince...again, I wasn't expecting much. Then it jumped off of the rails. Completely. This movie is an amazing experience for young children. Here is why: 1. The first princess learns that having different abilities and yes, even power, isn't something she has to hide, and that keeping a secret hurt. Instead of hiding, she cultivates and learns how to make the most of her power and those that judged her quickly as cast out as the rest of the village celebrates and accepts her. 2. The other princess meets a handsome prince, and within a day wants to marry him. She is told she is nuts, and sure enough, after she spends 15 more minutes getting to know him, she realizes he isn't so great. 3. On the other hand, the nice guy with no money is an absolute catch. She just needed to give him a chance. 4. True love isn't just found in boyfriends, it's found in families. It was the true love between sisters that allowed then to save themselves! As an added bonus, this movie was fun to watch! The characters are funny and quick, the visuals are amazing, and the Oscar-winning music will be trapped in your head for ages. All in all, even as I clean out my DVD collection, I'm ordering this one. In DVD, HD, and digital. It's a keeper.

The Songs Make The Film More Entertaining,
This review is from: Frozen Sing Along Edition (1-Disc DVD + Digital HD) (DVD)
I like to watch computer animation. I purchased Frozen (Two-Disc Blu-ray / DVD + Digital Copy) when I caught it on sale for about $13. It's a good story and since it is a musical fantasy-comedy, the songs are a big part of the film. I liked what I heard, so I got Frozen (Mp3) for only $3.99 and it's still at this low price today.
Starz On Demand has this entertaining Sing Along Edition - this movie and song lyrics all-in-one. Do You Want to Build a Snowman is such a cute song. Let It Go has powerful lyrics. And there are fun songs like Fixer Upper, Reindeers Are Better Than People and In Summer - I'm gonna tell him. Don't you dare. It's nice that the lyrics show on the screen so viewers can join in. I also think this Sing Along can be a fun way to teach children to read.

Soooo much fun!,
By Lisa mommy of 2 cuties (Northern California) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Frozen (DVD)
I can't remember the last time I saw a movie TWICE in the theater! My kids are begging me to go back again! We sing the songs and laugh at Olaf!
Yes, it is classic Disney with singing and all (but we're fans). And no, it doesn't follow the original "Snow Queen" that it was based on, but that story was really boring. I tried to read it to my kids and they rebelled. Like Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty and many others, Disney actually improved on Hans Christian Andersen and Brothers Grimm (read the originals, the little mermaid's legs are ripped apart when she becomes a human and I won't even get into what the prince does while beauty sleeps...). With the exception of Peter Pan (J.M. Barrie can't be improved upon - the original will always be the best), Disney breathes life into fairy tales! This one is hands down the best Disney has done in years.

Wisznia Associates
Wisznia Associates' Union Lofts building features a restored 1927 facade and a sunny rooftop deck.
Next up for the firm is the Maritime Building, another adaptive-reuse project in downtown New Orleans.
An in-progress prototype for a floating house demonstrates the firm's commitment to innovative flood-safety solutions.
When people talk about good things happening in downtown New Orleans, the name Marcel Wisznia, AIA, tends to come up. That's because this local architect/developer has completed one of the few projects built there since Hurricane Katrina—The Union Lofts, a mixed-use renovation in the Central Business District. Leasing the ground floor to a bank tenant, Wisznia and his staff converted the second through fourth floors of the former Western Union telegraph operating station into 33 furnished rental apartments with flat-screen TVs, 10-foot to 14-foot ceilings, and a rooftop deck.
Wisznia inherited his penchant for real estate development from his late father, Corpus Christi, Texas, architect and sometime-developer Walter Wisznia. Architecture school at Tulane lured Marcel to New Orleans, where he eventually joined with his father and opened a second branch of Wisznia Associates. Since Katrina, the firm has focused almost exclusively on designing and developing its own projects. Currently, Wisznia is transforming the historic Maritime Building into offices for his firm, ground-floor commercial space, and 105 rental apartments, and he has more adaptive-reuse work on the boards. "We've created a formula that uses tax credits as an equity source, [placing] modern infill in historic buildings," he explains. "You have to own the building for five years to use the tax credit, so we rent them out for the first five years."

His enthusiasm for adaptive reuse stems, in part, from the fact that the upper floors of downtown buildings sit safely above Katrina's flood line. But another disaster-planning strategy intrigues him: the idea of housing designed to face flooding, not avoid it. Wisznia Associates' Robert Asistent is working on a prototype for a house with an aluminum-and-steel space frame light enough to float atop stormwaters. With the firm's backing, he's also developing portable emergency housing prototypes. Wisznia clearly accepts one of the central truths of the post-Katrina landscape: For New Orleans to overcome catastrophe, its architects, builders, and developers must think differently than they did before the storm.

In this report, we've endeavored to illuminate the good and the bad, the true signs of hope and the harsh realities of its absence. Over and over, Gulf Coast architects emphasize that people around the country need to know what's really going on in this still-devastated but still-compelling area.

ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) -- MoDOT will close the Taylor and Newstead bridges over Interstate 64 starting after morning rush period Monday January 21.
The closure will be to prepare the bridges for removal the following weekend, as part of a project to construct a new interchange at Tower Grove and Boyle and to replace four bridges over the interstate.
Taylor and Newstead will remain closed at the interstate until November. Drivers can use Tower Grove and Boyle to detour around the closures. Cyclists and pedestrians can use Kingshighway, the pedestrian crossing between Kingshighway and Taylor, or Tower Grove to detour around the closure.
From January 21-23, crews will close the inside lane on I-64 in both directions overnight to fill in the rumble strips. Work will start about 8 p.m. Monday on the eastbound lanes and then will move to the westbound lanes after eastbound is finished. Lanes will be reopened to traffic by 5 a.m. the following morning.
The department will also close I-64 in both directions starting after evening rush Friday, January 25 to remove the Taylor and Newstead bridges. The interstate will reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, January 28. When the interstate reopens, drivers will have three 10-foot lanes in each direction of I-64 between Kingshighway and Vandeventer. Traffic will also shift to the middle of the interstate.
MoDOT will keep three lanes open in each direction on the interstate between 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. weekdays. Overnight and weekends, the department will close up to two of those open lanes for construction work. Outside of scheduled weekend closures for bridge removal, the department will keep at least one interstate lane open in both directions at all times.
"With narrowed and shifted lanes, we expect to have some congestion in this area, especially during
Washington University Medical Center and BJC Healthcare have partnered with the department on the $17.9 million project. Construction is expected to continue until July 2014.

Fennell Purifoy's Birdeye Cemetery

The Welcome Center is on the western edge of the cemetery, forming an arc with views over the grounds.

Overall site plan for Birdeye Cemetery.
Plan of the Committal Shelter.
Plan for the Welcome Center.
The Committal Shelter offers seating for up to 20 people, with standing room for up to 50 more, for solemn interment services.
Glue-laminated superstructures rest on wood columns on the south side, while a board-formed concrete bearing wall offers privacy.
The board-formed concrete bearing wall shields also serves as a barrier from the nearby driveway.
Three smaller roof sections make up the overall roof for the Committal Shelter, each consisting of tongue-and-groove decking covered by standing seam metal roofing.
The back side of the Welcome Center.
The Welcome Center interior offers views of the surrounding landscaped cemetery.
An interior of the Welcome Center.
Details increase through the Welcome Center building, with livelier spaces deeper within the structure.
The Welcome Center's exterior consists of two types of exterior walls - the board-formed concrete, and this prefinished bronze-colored metal standing-seam siding over gypsum sheathing.
The Welcome Center is organized around its central entrance canopy (shown at right).
The Arkansas State Veterans Cemetery at Birdeye, Ark., serves as a final resting place for fallen soldiers from the eastern and northeastern parts of the state. Fennell Purifoy Architects, based in Little Rock, Ark., designed three buildings at the cemetery: a welcome center with administrative functions; a committal shelter, where burial services are held; and a maintenance shed for the cemetery grounds. Both primary structures share a common formal language and materials palette, which consists of board-formed concrete, glue-laminated wood framing, and bronze-colored, standing-seam metal siding.
The 4,606-square-foot Welcome Center contains a reception area, offices, restrooms, and a gravestone locator. Visitors enter the Welcome Center beneath a large overhang, which leads them into the building through its austere concrete face. Once inside, visitors can gaze across the landscaped cemetery through the curving glass and metal façade. The building receives shade from a roof that rests on the exterior concrete wall on the entry side, and on timber structural members on the cemetery side.
A main concern for the architects was highway noise from the Crowley's Ridge National Scenic Byway, which runs just 700 yards away from the committal shelter. As a result, the structure was turned away from the highway; a concrete retaining wall and a row of trees provide a noise buffer. The open side of the shelter offers views that sweep over a pond to the prairielike landscape of the 100-acre site. The 2,642-square-foot shelter seats up to 30 people under three glulam-supported overlapped roof panels, but has room for up to 30 more to stand, with space for an Honor Guard as well.
For both buildings, the Arkansas climate, which generally places a large demand on cooling, posed an additional challenge. The architects designed large overhangs to provide shading, and sited the buildings to minimize eastern and western exposure. "In this particular case, the width of the windows gets larger as you turn south," says principal Phil Purifoy, AIA. "We did some sun studies, and the gain in the morning on the east side was pretty intense, so we narrowed the windows there." The roof slope eliminates the need for gutters and downspouts, and Fennell Purifoy also drove wells into the site for geothermal heat-pump systems.

Havoc751 wrote:I've been bringing this up on the forums for awhile now. Why is Samantha here in the first place? The only thing I can come up with is she has something to gain by working with Dr.X. But what? There has to be some kind of underline reason for her doing all of this.
So yes, I to would like to know if her motives will be made clear, before she bites the dust.
I have a theory about why she's obsessed with achieving perfection, through robotics. This could be a sign of a troubled past. Like maybe she's trying to run from something, by making herself perfect. Know what I'm saying?
I tend to think that Sam was involved in a situation similar to Atomic Betty's (especially since both were the leader of a group of three). I've narrowed some of my theories down to two:
1.) After her friends were destroyed, she bargained with the HIVE and agreed to work with them. I read on the wiki for Medabots (because it has been far too long since I last saw Medabots) that Sam is often thought of as an opportunist, so in order to survive maybe she just decided to switch sides (Something the wiki said she would do throughout the series if events weren't in her favor). What I do remember from Medabots is that she was a tomboy who cared a lot about her friends. Maybe she felt guilty for her choice later and decided to have herself "fixed" so that she doesn't feel bad.
2.) Something Sam did contributed to her friends being destroyed (I read that Sam would sometimes run away if someone else was stronger than her, so maybe she ran faster than they did?). Vexus (taking advantage of her grief/guilt) convinces her that it was her emotions that got her friends killed. Vexus then offers to fix her problems if she joins the HIVE.

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a condition that causes a person to make repeated, quick movements or sounds that they cannot control.
The condition is commonly called Tourette syndrome.
Tourette syndrome
Tourette syndrome is named for Georges Gilles de la Tourette, who first described this disorder in 1885. It is likely the disorder is passed down through families.
The syndrome may be linked to problems in certain areas of the brain. It may have to do with chemical substances (dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) that help nerve cells signal one another.
Tourette syndrome can be either severe or mild. Many people with very mild tics may not be aware of them and never seek medical help. Far fewer people have more severe forms of Tourette syndrome.
Tourette syndrome is four times as likely to occur in boys as in girls.
Symptoms of Tourette syndrome is often first noticed during childhood, between ages 7 and 10. Most children with Tourette syndrome also have other medical problems. These can include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) , impulse control disorder, or depression.
The most common first symptom is a tic of the face. Other tics may follow. A tic is a sudden, fast, repeated movement or sound.
Symptoms of Tourette syndrome can range from tiny, minor movements (such as grunts, sniffling, or coughing) to constant movements and sounds that cannot be controlled.
Different types of tics can include:
Tics may occur many times a day. They tend to improve or get worse at different times. The tics may change with time. Symptoms usually get worse before the mid-teen years.
Contrary to popular belief, only a small number of patients use curse words or other inappropriate words or phrases (coprolalia).
Tourette syndrome is different from OCD. People with OCD feel as though they have to do the behaviors. Sometimes a person can have both Tourette syndrome and OCD.
Many people with Tourette syndrome can stop doing the tic for periods of time. But they find that the tic is stronger for a few minutes after they allow it to start again. Often, the tic slows or stops during sleep.
There are no lab tests to diagnose Tourette syndrome. A health care provider will likely do an examination to rule out other causes of the symptoms.
To be diagnosed with Tourette syndrome, a person must:
Persons who have mild symptoms are not treated. This is because the side effects of the medicines may be worse than the symptoms of Tourette syndrome.
Different medicines are available to treat Tourette syndrome. The exact medicine that is used depends on the symptoms and any other medical problems.
Deep brain stimulation may be recommended for the main symptoms of Tourette syndrome and the obsessive-compulsive behaviors, but not when these symptoms occur in the same person.
Tourette Syndrome Association - www.tsa-usa.org
Symptoms are usually worst during the teenage years and then improve in early adulthood. In some persons, symptoms go away entirely for a few years and then return. In a few persons, symptoms do not return at all.
Conditions that may occur in people who have Tourette syndrome include:
These conditions need to be diagnosed and treated.
Make an appointment with your health care provider if you have tics that are severe or persistent, or if they interfere with your daily life.
There is no known prevention.

Ivan Brobeck, AWOL Marine in Canada, to Return on Election Dayto Ask President, Congress to Bring the Troops Home
"Since I was not willing to return to Iraq, the only option I saw was to go to Canada. I have spent nearly two years there living, working, and married to my wife (who is six months pregnant). Now I feel that I am ready to return to the US and face the consequences of refusing to participate in a war that I do not believe is right."
U.S. Marine Corps Lance Corporal Ivan Brobeck, 20, of Arlington, Virginia, will return to the United States on election day to ask President Bush and Congress to bring the troops home now.During a tour of duty in Iraq in 2004 Brobeck witnessed instances of abuse of Iraqi detainees and the killing of Iraqi civilians at military checkpoints. He chose Canada over a second tour in a war that he came to see as illegal and contrary to the interests and moral standards of most Americans."I was not willing to go back and fight a war that I did not believe was right, and I didn't want to put myself in a situation where I would possibly kill an innocent civilian," Brobeck explains. "Please, President Bush, do what is right; do everything you can to bring our troops homefrom Iraq."
Ivan Brobeck intends to surrender to military authorities in Washington, DC on election day. He expects to be transferred to Quantico in Virginia where he may face a military court martial for his absence. He is returning in the same spirit that motivated him to enlist at age 17 - a desire to serve his country and to stand for what is right.
Following is a letter I sent out to all my CodePinkers to remind them to VOTE FOR PEACE this Election Day. I decided to share the info here in case any of you might be interested in taking the pledge and voting for PEACE:

The Best Waterproof Mascara
The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested 12 of the newest waterproof black mascaras (and one classic) by having testers apply 10 strokes to top lashes and splash their faces with 10 handfuls of warm water, and then visually evaluating each eye for smudging. Testers also took the mascaras home and rated the products on how they performed through sweaty workouts, weddings, and more. Check out GHRI-tested eye-makeup-remover wipes, too!
Best Overall
Maybelline New York Great Lash Waterproof Mascara ($6.16)
This longtime best-selling mascara with the iconic pink tube received the highest score in our lab's waterproof test demonstrating its ability to resist smudging. Our testers also gave it high marks for its ability to volumize, lengthen, and separate lashes. (drugstores nationwide)
Best for Lash Separating
Yves Saint Laurent Everlong Mascara Waterproof ($28.50)
YSL's waterproof formula received high scores for even coating and not clumping. It did quite well in our lab's waterproof test, and our testers affirmed that it doesn't wear off easily. It also got great scores on our lab test for not irritating eyes. It has a large brush, which some testers thought was a bit unwieldy, but others loved for its even coverage. The pricy Yves Saint Laurent mascara has beautiful gold packaging, so it may be the right pick for those who want a bit of glamour in their makeup kit. (yslbeautyus.com)
Best for Lash Lengthening
Christian Dior DiorShow Blackout Waterproof Mascara ($24)
Dior's waterproof mascara was the highest rated by our testers for producing long lashes, and it received the best scores in our lab for both its lengthening and volumizing performance. This product has an oversized brush and a particularly dark pigment that our consumers liked. Plus, it earned high marks for ease of use and its nonirritating properties in our lab test. (beauty.dior.com)
Best for Volume
Maybelline New York Define-a-Lash Volumizing Waterproof Mascara ($7.95)
Many of our testers noted the volumizing effect of Maybelline's Define-a-Lash formula even for those notoriously wispy bottom lashes. It also proved to be nonirritating and resisted smudging in our lab tests. This mascara's thickening effects will last throughout your day. It earned high marks for being easy to apply in our lab tests. (drugstores nationwide)
Best Blackest Lashes
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper Waterproof ($10)
Our testers loved the deep, rich black color of this mascara, and it got good scores for volumizing and not clumping. Some testers found its flexible, bristly brush unique, while others thought it was too chunky for easy application. This product received fairly good marks in our lab for resisting smudges, but our testers weren't as sold on its waterproofness. One commented, though, that she would continue to use the product anyway because it was so volumizing! This mascara also scored well for not irritating eyes. (drugstores nationwide)
Easiest to Use
CoverGirl Exact Eyelights Eye Brightening Waterproof Mascara ($9)
CoverGirl's mascara did very well in our lab tests for easy application, so there's little need to worry about fumbling with big brushes or making mascara mistakes. The Exact Eyelights formula also was lauded for its volumizing, creamy formula. "It was smooth to apply and did not clump or flake off," one tester explained. Several women commented that this is a very basic mascara a great staple makeup item. It also comes in shades that are designed to enhance your eye color. (drugstores nationwide)
Best for Curling
Wet N Wild Beauty Benefits Waterproof Mascara ($6)
Our testers generally liked how this mascara curled and lengthened lashes. "This made my lashes look...almost like false lashes!" said one. This mascara got good scores overall for not clumping in our lab tests, although some testers thought that it clumped and smudged more than they'd prefer. It scored okay on our lab's waterproof test, so your curly lashes should last. It also earned good marks for not irritating eyes. (drugstores nationwide)
Best for Sensitive Eyes
Benefit BAD Gal Waterproof Mascara ($19)
Women with sensitive eye areas will likely be satisfied with this mascara, as it received exceptional scores for not irritating our testers' eyes in the lab. According to our lab tests, this mascara is also very easy to use. Our testers liked how waterproof it was: One went swimming, and happily noted that this mascara didn't smudge at all. Some wished that it had been more lash thickening. (benefitcosmetics.com)
Smudge-Resistant Pick
Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof Mascara ($9)
Neutrogena's mascara got a good score in our lab for resisting smudges, and it also received high marks for its volumizing properties. Our testers liked that this mascara didn't run and gave them thick lashes, and generally thought the formula stayed on well. Some found that the brush was too large to easily apply mascara to their bottom lashes, but overall the product was found easy to use. (drugstores nationwide)
Best Natural Look
E.L.F. Studio Line Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara ($3)
This mascara earned okay scores for lengthening, and testers were pleased that it didn't clump at all. Our lab tests showed that E.L.F.'s mascara is a gentle formula that doesn't irritate the eyes. Though this mascara had the lowest score in our lab's waterproof test, as one tester put it, "The effect was nice (while it lasted)." This mascara smudges easily, but our testers still liked how natural and lovely it made their lashes look. (eyeslipsface.com)

We strive to maintain a low ratio of PhD students to faculty to provide the best opportunity for PhD student education, mentoring, and research. Consistent with this philosophy, the strategic management faculty members have decided not to recruit PhD students for 2015-2016 to preserve the personal attention given to PhD students. Applications will be accepted in Strategic Management and Organizational Behavior in the future.PhD Program Guidebook (PDF)Area Advisors A prospective student chooses an area of study when applying to the doctoral program. Areas of study include: (1) Accounting, (2) Finance, (3) Marketing, (4) Organizational Behavior, and (5) Strategic Management. Each of these areas is supervised by a faculty advisor, a member of the faculty specializing in that area. These area advisors supervise the evaluation of applications to their respective areas, counsel new students on the curriculum in that area and how to plan their course of study, and serve as advisors to all the students in their respective areas throughout their course of study. The current area advisors are listed below.
Application Deadline The application deadline for Fall 2015 admissions has passed. The PhD Program will begin accepting applications in the Marketing, Finance, Strategic Management, and Accounting areas in the Fall of 2015 for Fall 2016 admissions.
