Widget Watch: stay on top with Reminder
Gravity Applications recently updated their Reminder widget, and I'm finding it quite useful. Now that my Dashboard isn't taking eons to load -- thanks to Snow Leopard -- it's really nice to be able to pop it up and with a few clicks set an iCal alarm for 5 minutes, an hour, a week, whatever I need a quick beep for that doesn't require a full event edit. It's simple, single-purpose and very effective.
You may know Gravity Apps from past coverage on TUAW, or for some of their innovative software projects such as Tags, Searchlight and SofaControl. These guys have been doing a great job providing software tools to meet a wide range of needs, and have proven to be eager and determined developers. The polish they push for on every application apparently shows up in their Dashboard widgets as well.

California: Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance to Speak at the World Affairs Council in San FranciscoSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 03/13/2014 - 16:36
Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, will speak at the World Affairs Council's WorldAffairs 2014 conference in San Francisco on Saturday, March 15 at 10:30 a.m.
WorldAffairs 2014 offers fresh insights and new perspectives on current global topics. The conference will be held at the St. Regis in San Francisco on Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15.
Nadelmann will take part in a discussion entitled "Rethinking the War on Drugs." Nadelmann will be joined by Beau Kilmer, co-director, RAND Drug Policy Research Center and Robert MacCoun, professor of public policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy. Issues addressed in the discussion will include:
• What do President Obama's new drug policy initiatives mean for the U.S?
• What does it mean to reclassify drug use as a public health issue?
• What lessons can be learned from Europe?
• Can the United States effectively reduce the harmful effects of drugs at home and abroad while also reducing the enormous fiscal burden of the War on Drugs?
Described by Rolling Stone Magazxine as "the point man" for drug policy reform efforts, Ethan Nadelmann is widely regarded as the outstanding proponent of drug policy reform both in the United States and abroad. Nadelmann is the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), an organization based in the United States promoting alternatives to the War On Drugs.
Oregon: Portland Mayor Wants Hempstalk Festival at Waterfront ParkSubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 01/10/2014 - 19:55
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
The Portland City Council on Thursday told the city's Parks & Recreation Bureau, which denied Hempstalk Festival a permit for Tom McCall Waterfront Park, to negotiate with the festival's organizers in order to find a place and time for the event in the park. After more than two hours of testimony, during which the Mayor went to bat for the event, they left the door open for the pro-cannabis group to hold its 2014 gathering on the waterfront.
"It seems to me that the place it ought to take place is Waterfront Park -- if the event is manageable," said Mayor Charlie Hales, reports Andrew Theen at The Oregonian.
Thursday's hearing was the first time city parks officials could remember an appeal of a permit ruling going before the City Council. The Parks Bureau usually doesn't deny permits for events it has approved in previous years.
Hempstalk 2014 would be the 10th annual event, which has been held at several locations in the Portland area over the years, including at Waterfront Park in 2005 and 2006.
Florida: Billionaire Marijuana Philanthropist, Progressive Insurance Chairman Peter Lewis DiesSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/25/2013 - 20:11
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Peter Lewis, the billionaire chairman of Progressive Insurance and a prominent donor to marijuana legalization, died Saturday afternoon at age 80 at his home in Coconut Grove, Florida, according to his adviser Jennifer Frutchy.
Lewis was a high-profile backer of drug-law reform, reports Luisa Kroll at Forbes. He spent almost $3 million on the November 2012 election, contributing $2 million to the I-502 marijuana legalization drive in Washington state and another $1 million to the medical marijuana effort in Massachusetts; both were successful.
"We were, of course, incredibly grateful for Mr. Lewis's significant contributions that made Initiative 502 possible," I-502 author Alison Holcomb told David Holley of Bloomberg News. "We're very hopeful that others will follow in the example he set."
Cynics pointed out that Progressive Insurance is the chief source of the auto insurance policies that those convicted of driving under the influence of marijuana in Washington (cannabis DUI) under I-502 will be forced to buy; 502, in addition to legalizing possession of up to an ounce of pot, created a whole new crime in Washington state, that of driving with more than 5 ng/ml of THC in the blood (previously, law enforcement had to prove actual impairment to make a DUI stick).
U.S.: It's Turkey and Marijuana for the Holidays on Cannabis Planet TVSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/18/2013 - 18:25
Next to ObamaCare, cannabis is the hottest, most discussed subject in the media. Twenty states and D.C. have medical marijuana, 14 states have decriminalized marijuana, two states have legalized it for everyone and several more states are poised to pass legalization laws.
Americans still have questions, and beginning on November 23, Cannabis Planet TV has announced it will be taking to the airwaves in a dozen cites with the information on all things cannabis.
Originally seen only in California, Brad Lane's Cannabis Planet will be aired weekly beginning November 23. TV stations in Massachusetts, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and California will air a new show every week. More stations are being added daily. Cannabis Planet is entertainment with an emphasis on medical research, cannabis cooking, cultivation, cannabis celebrities and legalization advances in American and around the globe.
The first show features longtime federal marijuana recipients, stockbroker Irvin Rosenfeld, who gets free government pot to treat his tumors, and glaucoma patient Elvy Musikka. Interviewees also include Dr. Julie Holland, author of The Pot Book, and Mara Gordon, international medical cannabis expert. There will be holiday cannabis cooking tips from Chef Mike Delao, hemp tips and music by the Trevor Green Band.
Oregon: Preparation Begins for Industrial Hemp to be Sown in Spring 2014Submitted by restore on Sat, 11/16/2013 - 19:03
By Michael Bachara, Hemp News Correspondent
After a panel of appointed experts can appease federal officials with a set of rules, Oregon farmers may sow a crop of industrial hemp next spring. The committee of agricultural experts and state officials has been selected by the Oregon Department of Agriculture, and will come together in December to establish proper procedures for hemp cultivation in Oregon.
"The committee hopes to set up a program that will meet what the federal government calls a 'robust' standard," according to Jim Cramer, a market and certification official at the Department of Agriculture. "The goal is to do so in time for planting."
In 2009, Senate Bill 676, spearheaded by Oregon State Senator Floyd Prozanski, was passed by the Oregon legislature and then-Governor Theodore Kulongoski signed the historic bill into law. Since the passage, Oregon farmers have been hesitant to begin growing due to fear that they'd be prosecuted by the Drug Enforcement Administration for possession of a schedule I controlled substance.
In recent months, hemp's legal status gained momentum. The federal justice department said it won't prosecute cases in states such as Washington and Colorado that legalize and regulate marijuana.
Alabama: Father Starts Online Petition Asking Governor, Lawmakers To Allow Medical MarijuanaSubmitted by steveelliott on Fri, 11/15/2013 - 18:55
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
The father of a two-year-old girl in Alabama with a rare neurological and epileptic disorder has started an online petition asking Governor Robert Bentley and state lawmakers to allow the use of a a form of medical marijuana that could help control the girl's frequent, violent seizures.
Dustin Chandler, a police officer in Pelham, and his wife Amy recently visited Gov. Bentley in Montgomery to ask for his support for medical marijuana, reports Martin J. Reed at al.com. Their daughter, Carly, is unable to walk, talk or feed herself.
The online petition at Change.org focuses on cannabidiol (CBD), a non-intoxicating cannabinoid from marijuana that can treat inflammation, pain, anxiety, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. It can also treat Carly's violent seizures that occur several times a day -- seizures which pharmaceutical medications cannot control.
"The main fact that we want people to understand is we're not trying to get our two-year-old high," Chandler said. "They won't get stoned. This is a natural treatment ... that might have great benefit in helping her seizures. The life that she has, I'm trying to give the best quality to her."
Washington: Cannabis Activist Group Going After Governor On Medical MarijuanaSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 11/13/2013 - 20:01
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
A Seattle-based medical marijuana patient advocacy group, the Cannabis Action Coalition, has filed a recall petition against Governor Jay Inslee with state Attorney General Bob Ferguson's office.
The petition alleges corruption related to the Washington State Liquor Control Board's implementation of cannabis legalization Initiative 502.
"It's pretty clear that no matter which party prevails, the losing party will file an expedited appeal with the Washington State Supreme Court, said activist Steve Sarich, who heads up the CAC. "The best information we have is that this could happen within 10 days of the Superior Court decision."
Sarich was a guest on Tuesday's "Mike Bastinelli Show." Sarich talked about the flaws in I-502 that will affect medical marijuana patients in Washington, and the group's allegations against Gov. Inslee.
Sarich ran the No On I-502 campaign. He opposed the measure because of its per se DUI level of 5 nanograms of THC of milliliter of blood (5 ng/mg), which is not a true level of impairment; because it didn't remove any of the laws that made marijuana illegal in the first place (in fact, it added several new ways you can be arrested for cannabis); and because it will result in the over-taxation of medical marijuana, because of claims that the MMJ community is cutting into the revenue stream of proposed recreational marijuana outlets.
Michigan: After Local Success, Cannabis Advocates Push For Statewide DecriminalizationSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/11/2013 - 23:07
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
Michigan cannabis advocates hope that their successes at the ballot box this year will help increase pressure on state legislators to legalize or decriminalize marijuana.
Voters in Ferndale, Jackson and Lansing last week all approved ballot measures that removed all city penalties for possession of marijuana by adults on private property, reports Jake Neher at Interlochen Public Radio.
Tim Beck, an activist who helped organize those campaigns, said their success sends a message to the Legislature that marijuana penalties need to be reduced statewide.
"Like 17 other states have done, including Ohio," Beck said. "It's the equivalent of a traffic ticket in Ohio -- a $100 fine. That should be very simple," he said during a guest appearance on "Off the Record," a show on Michigan Public Radio.
"And there's huge public support," Beck said, "as demonstrated in all of these elections that we've had." But it's still too soon for a statewide ballot initiative, he said.
"The funders that funded the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act in (2008), they need to see poll numbers, OK?" Beck said. "Michigan, right now, is 'hardcore support' at 52 percent for full legalization of marijuana. That's not good enough to run a ballot initiative. We need to get those numbers up."
Michigan: Families Call For Complete Review and Reform of Child Welfare LawsSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/11/2013 - 20:48
Two activist groups of medicinal cannabis advocates are calling on Michigan's Department of Human Services to conduct "a complete review of practices conducted by Child Protective Services, and enact reforms that improve public and family safety."
According to The Human Solution and Michigan Moms United, an ever-growing number and variety of communities and parents have been targeted and victimized by CPS. Parents, grandparents, foster parents and anyone impacted by the overreaching Michigan Child Protective Service agency are invited to attend to speak to media and call for reform.
"The attacks of CPS are far-reaching and affect people from every walk of life," said Maria Green of the Free Bree Foundation. "CPS has a pattern of moralizing their own beliefs to families across the nation by removing children from parents with alternative lifestyles, such as homeschooling, homosexuality and transgenderism, vaccination-free medical choices, and all-natural living, among others."
The recent Bree Green medical marijuana custody case in Ingham County generated a great deal of interest regarding actions committed by Child Protective Services, but for years advocates and victims have been calling on a national level for a complete reform of family court laws.

Pop sensation Miley Cyrus fired up a joint onstage Sunday at the MTV European Music Awards in Amsterdam immediately after accepting the Best Music Video award for "Wrecking Ball," according to multiple press reports.
Cyrus pulled out a cannabis joint and had a quick smoke onstage, reports Nadeska Alexis at MTV News.
"I couldn't fit this award in my bag but I did find this, so thank you guys very much," she said as she pulled a joint out of her purse and lit it up, with fans cheering wildly, reports Randee Dawn at NBC News.
MTV censored the footage of Cyrus smoking weed when airing the EMAs in the United States, reports Nellie Andreeva at Deadline.
"We applaud MTV for taking responsible actions to eliminate the drug use from its U.S. broadcast, and we urge them to make that a uniform policy for all of its programming, said Parents Television Council President Tim Winter. Winter had slammed MTV for Cyrus's twerking at the Video Music Awards back in August.
D.C.: Tour Comes To Nation's Capitol To Speak Out Against Failed Drug WarSubmitted by steveelliott on Mon, 11/11/2013 - 17:08
At Briefings with OAS and Congress, Victims to Join Latino and Human Rights Leaders in Calling for Alternatives to Drug Prohibition and Militarization
Coalition of NGOs to Present Comprehensive New Report to Congress on "Rethinking the Drug War" in Mexico and Central America
Mexican poet and peace leader Javier Sicilia on Tuesday will arrive in Washington, DC, to speak firsthand about the pain and devastation caused by the failed War On Drugs. Sicilia's two-day visit is part of the bi-national "Voices of the Victims" Tour, traveling to a dozen cities in the U.S. and Canada to call for an end to the Drug War that has left more than 80,000 people murdered, 25,000 disappeared and 250,000 displaced in Mexico in just seven years.
Sicilia on Tuesday morning will participate in a discussion at the Organization of American States (OAS) of its groundbreaking report, "Scenarios for the Drug Problem in the Americas 2013-2025," released in May, which lays out different options for the future of drug policy in the hemisphere -– scenarios that break sharply from the U.S.-led Drug War and include various forms of decriminalization and regulation.
The OAS is the most prominent multilateral institution to endorse an open discussion of alternatives to drug prohibition, which has caused or contributed to widespread violence, corruption and human rights abuses in Mexico and Central America.
U.S.: Been Convicted For Marijuana? Criminals Wanted For ScholarshipSubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 11/05/2013 - 17:26
By Steve Elliott
A criminal record usually limits opportunities. But now there's a $1,000 law school scholarship available where applicants must prove they've already been in trouble with the law.
The Appelman Law Firm, LLC, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, says the idea is designed to reward those who've made better choices after a conviction -- "those who have managed to turn their lives around and intend to pursue a career in criminal defense."
"There's a real need for passionate attorneys in criminal defense," said Avery Appelman, the firm's founder. "Nothing instills a great passion for justice quite like having suffered through the process yourself."
That's where the Appelman Law Firm Criminal Defense Scholarship comes in, and Appelman isn't alone in thinking a criminal record shouldn't be a barrier to making a better life.
"There are just too many ways to run afoul of the law for anyoen to think they are immune," Appelman said. "A mistake can easily lead to an arrest or jail."
Attempts to determine just how many criminal statutes exist have failed, because there are so many. An estimate from the government in the 1980s put it at about 3,000 in the federal system alone. Shortly afterward, another study from the American Bar Association said that was too low a figure, but couldn't come up with a better number.
Adding in state crimes only makes the situation worse. For many, avoiding a criminal record has become more a matter of luck than of being a good citizen.
Missouri: Drug Cop Says Marijuana Legalization Advocates Are StupidSubmitted by steveelliott on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 20:13
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
A Missouri Drug Task Force cop who debated marijuana legalization advocates from the group Show-Me Cannabis at a town hall meeting apparently got butt-hurt during the debate because some people disagreed with his point of view.
When he got safely home at his computer and away from "those people," he posted a rant on Facebook in which he "basically call[ed] the legalization advocates a bunch of stupid potheads," reports Ray Downs at the St. Louis Riverfront Times.
Seemingly upset that these folks dared to hold an opinion different than his when it comes to cannabis, the petulant policeman, Sgt. Kevin Glaser of the SEMO Drug Task Force -- who evidently is having some real difficulty adjusting to the realities of modern America -- got home and really gave those weed-suckers a piece of his mind.
"It was held at the Cape Girardeau Library," Sgt. Glaser posted. "This was a good location because it afforded many in the group an opportunity to actually visit a library, probably for the first time in their life." But wait, he really got going, after that.
"My views and opinions were not well received and they appeared to have very closed minds towards what i had to say," Sgt. Glaser posted (you'll have to imagine him sniffling to himself indignantly as he furiously typed). "Many impressed me as having no minds at all. Or at least very slow functioning minds."
California: Voices of the Victims Tour Comes to Bay Area to Call for an End to War on DrugsSubmitted by steveelliott on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 19:10
Javier Sicilia to Speak at Stanford University of Pain Caused by Failed Drug War – and Need for Alternative Drug Policies to Prevent Future Victims
Mexican poet and peace leader Javier Sicilia on Wednesday will visit the Bay Area to speak firsthand about the devastation and pain caused by the Drug War in Mexico.
Sicilia's visit –- to Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies on Wednesday, October 30, at 4:30 pm -– is part of the bi-national, 11-city "Voices of the Victims" Tour calling for an end to the Drug War that has left more than 80,000 people murdered, 25,000 disappeared, and 250,000 displaced from their homes in Mexico.
The Voices of the Victims Tour began on October 23-26 in Denver, Colorado, at the 2013 International Drug Policy Reform Conference, hosted by the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA), during which 24 representatives from the Mexican victims' organization, the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity, participated in panels and roundtable discussions to strategize with activists from around the world about how to bring the war on drugs to an end.
Missouri: After 20 Years In Prison, Man Serving Life For Marijuana Asks For ClemencySubmitted by steveelliott on Tue, 10/29/2013 - 15:51
By Steve Elliott
Hemp News
A prisoner in Missouri who is serving a prison term of life without parole for marijuana has asked the governor for clemency after serving 20 years.
Jeff Mizanskey was arrested on December 18, 1993, when he drove a friend to a motel in Sedalia, Missouri, to meet two men, reports Ray downs at Riverfront Times. To this day, Mizanskey says he had no clue his friend, Atilano Quintana, was going there to buy a few pounds of marijuana.
What Quintana didn't know was that his two friends who were in the motel with a brick of cannabis had been busted the day before, with 13 bricks, and they had agreed to roll over and ensnare more buyers. There were cops and surveillance equipment in the adjoining room; Quintana and Mizanskey were busted.
The surveillance video shows Quintana was the one who made the purchase, and the was the one in possession of the package when he and Mizanskey were arrested. Quintana got a 10-year sentence for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, a Class B felony.
But this was Mizanskey's third pot charge. He'd been busted in 1984 for selling an ounce of pot to a narc, and in 1991 for possession of more than 35 grams.
Jeff, who had never done prison time and never had a violent offense, was given life without parole under Missouri's "prior and persistent drug offender" law.

Textainer Group Holdings Limited Reports Third-Quarter 2012 Results And Increases Quarterly Dividend
Textainer's adjusted net income benefited from higher revenue from an increase in the size of the owned container fleet, offset by an increase in interest expense due to an increase in debt required to fund the expansion of our owned fleet and increased depreciation expense due to our record level of capex and higher new container prices, which have averaged almost $2,400 per CEU in 2012. During the third quarters of 2012 and 2011, the Company released liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits and recognized tax provision reductions of $3.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively.
During the quarter, Textainer completed a follow-on equity offering of 8,625,000 of its common shares at a price of $31.50 per share. The Company sold 6,125,000 new common shares and our largest shareholder, Halco Holdings Inc., sold 2,500,000 of its existing common shares. The Company received $185.2 million and Halco Holdings Inc. received $75.6 million, in each case net of underwriting discount and before expenses.
Textainer Limited, one of Textainer's wholly owned subsidiaries, also increased the size of its revolving credit agreement from $205 million to $600 million, adding nine new participating banks. At the closing, the initial interest rate was LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The facility also provides for a $100 million increase the Company may elect to utilize subject to certain conditions.
Textainer ended the quarter with a debt-to-equity ratio of 2.0:1. Year-to-date the Company has completed approximately $2.4 billion of financing in the debt and equity markets, resulting in over $1.3 billion in net incremental funding. This additional liquidity puts the Company in a strong position to continue purchasing both new and used containers to meet the needs of shipping lines and address their increased preference to lease containers.Outlook "Even if trade growth were to moderate in 2013, we believe we will continue to have solid fleet growth and performance because of shipping lines' increased reliance on container lessors," commented Mr. Brewer. "Container lessors are projected to provide more than 65% of all new container demand this year and could meet or exceed 70% next year. We expect utilization levels to remain high, given that 81% of our fleet is subject to long-term and financing leases, increased sales of older containers, relatively low levels of container production and limited new shipping line investment in containers. These factors, coupled with our continued investments in purchase leasebacks and acquisitions of our managed fleet, position us to continue to grow our market share, provide consistent financial results and maintain our market leading position."

Firm claims bias in stadium security selection
StaffPro says Elite Show Services used stadium manager as a reference
An unsuccessful bidder for the security contract at Qualcomm Stadium said Wednesday there were signs of favoritism in the selection process.
A representative of the company StaffPro made the claim during a hearing to review its protest over the recommendation of Elite Show Services for the contract.
The city's multi-year pact with Elite was put on hold earlier this year because of the protest.
StaffPro contended that the stadium official in charge of the three-member committee evaluating the bids was bias, pointing to the fact that Elite used him as a reference.
A StaffPro official said it was inappropriate for stadium general manager Michael McSweeney to be involved in the recommendation.
A city official countered that McSweeney "was the obvious person to be on this panel."
"It was his stadium," Deputy City Attorney Debra Bevier testified before the protest hearing panel made up of city officials.
StaffPro was represented by Leslie Devaney, the former chief deputy city attorney who was hired to challenge the bid selection.
"He was biased. He was in favor of Elite. He should not have been on that panel," Devaney said of McSweeney.
McSweeney was a central focus of the hearing, even though he was not there.
Bevier said the stadium manager wanted to testify, but she decided against it. She said city officials would have been remiss if McSweeney was not involved in evaluating the bids.
As for McSweeney being a reference for Elite, Bevier said StaffPro also could have sought him for a reference.
The four-hour hearing delved into StaffPro's complaint filed earlier this year that Elite was unjustly recommended to provide security, ushering and other services at Qualcomm Stadium.
No decision was made by the hearing panel. Instead, the testimony and evidence were taken under submission and a decision will be forthcoming within 30 days.
Elite has held the stadium security contract since the 1990s.
In 2009, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that city officials quietly approved a no-bid agreement for Elite to secure the stadium through 2035. After that, the city arranged to put the contract out to bid.
Five other companies bid lower than the $19.97 an hour proposed by Elite, which nevertheless was recommended for the contract.
"It just didn't seem right," StaffPro owner Cory Meredith testified Wednesday. "It didn't feel right. Something's going on here that's not right."
McSweeney has said previously that cost was not the only factor in choosing Elite. He said the company knows the stadium, works well with San Diego police and that security concerns call for having a single company manage all events.
The deal in question is for a two-person crew to patrol the grounds 24 hours a day, but the agreement is far more lucrative than that. Under city policy, tenants that rent the stadium or parking lot are required to hire the company that provides 24-hour security for ticket-taking, usher and other services.
According to Meredith, that city policy is unusual and unnecessary — and worth $2 million or more a year.

Drinking While On The Paleo Diet
This is probably the one topic that most piques the interest of people who want to know more about the Paleo lifestyle…
Can ya drink alcohol on the Paleo diet?
Yeah sure, just try to stay away from grain-based spirits.
Some vodkas are made with grapes or even potatoes. ["Vodkas made of Coconut, Fruits, Grapes, Honey, Horseradish and Potato are far more Paleo diet friendly choices..."]
Tequila is made from the agave plant.
Non-grain gins are available but they are pricier than those made from grains.
Mead is made with honey, and wine is made from grapes.
Choose those alcohol beverages and life can continue on as always, but drink in moderation of course. Anything in excess can be a bad thing.
Heck, maybe you've got a great bloody mary recipe you wanna hold onto. Roll with it…
Where do you stand with adult beverages and how they fit in with the caveman diet? Leave your comments below…

I saw it on Tues and loved it! Already planning on seeing it again
My daughters and wife want to see it. We may go in a couple of weeks. I'm still reeling financially over taking the brood out to see Thor 2 and it was on bargain night!
Yep, when we took our family of 4 out to first run movies it pinched and the student rates are not that grand.
My DD went out to see Elf in a theater last night with a college friend out in the middle of nowhere, it took her an hour and a half to get there and is very rural. As old as Elf is, it was $8.50, cheaper than first runs but still $8.50 for an old movie, but one of her all time favorites.
Pretty close! I really enjoyed it (and I don't know anyone who hasn't liked it yet). I really liked the soundtrack as well
And I'm hearing the opposite... that the songs were pretty much forgettable. My friend took her two kids and she said that there wasn't a single song that was stuck in her head on the way out. Maybe Disney needs to pick and choose their musicals. Wonder if this movie would have done just as well without the songs? Did they even release a Frozen soundtrack?
I waiting to see how the songs enhance the movie. So far it is so much better than Tangled, that music made me want to implode.
Amazon.com: Frozen (Deluxe): Music
Part of the problem may be that Disney seems to be pushing soundtracks performed by the stars of the movie(s). I'm not sure how well Kristen Bell or Idina Menzel can sing. I know that stars have sung on very iconic Disney tracks before but it's not always a forgone conclusion that every actor can also carry a tune.
I'll reserve judgement after seeing the film.
Well, it was AMAZING! took my two 13yo twin girls, their friend, my hubbie and me..... It was completely opposite of what we thought it would be. the trailer has nothing to do with the movie.... But we thought Olaf was cute in the trailer. My 43yo DH said it made him teary..... nothing makes him teary. Music was more reminiscent of Beauty and the Beast.... more orchestral in nature.... my girls thought the music was ok overrall but there are several songs they have already downloaded and are watching Demi Lovato youtube videos daily. I loved the music and will buy the CD.
We left the theater and the first thing the girls said was, " WE HAVE TO BUY THIS WHEN IT COMES OUT!" After watching the movie, the music is so much more endearing and I will rewatch Lou's World of Color video again now I know the storyline. It is a beautiful story and Kristen Bell did an amazing job singing. I couldn't believe it was her when I googled voice of Anna.....
18 thumbs up!!!!
My daughter's saw it this past week and absolutely loved it!! Still waiting to see it myself.
One of my bosses saw Frozen with his kids and he said they really liked it. He even said the soundtrack was pretty good, with no prompting from me. He's not a big Disney fan so there's a vote from the outside

There's a push to make sure that new proposed I-10 bridge over the Mobile River includes a bicycle path.
The Alabama Department of Transportation, or ALDOT, has been spearheading proposals for a new bridge.
But, some people have said they'd like to see an idea that wasn't included by the state.
John Blanton, a member of a group called "Team Share The Road," said, "Right now, there is no design in the ALDOT design for the bridge for a bike/pedestrian facility on the bridge."
Blanton would like to see one.
"Team Share The Road" promotes safe access to streets, roads, and highways.
Blanton is hoping that people will attend scheduled public hearings on the new bridge to make sure a bike and pedestrian facility is added.
He said, "Let's assume that the bridge is there for a hundred years. You can't ride or walk through the tunnels. There's no way to get to the Eastern Shore. So, we need to look to the future to have this considered to be a world-class city."
Two Mobile City Council members are also making their feelings known on the issue.
Council Members Bess Rich and Levon Manzie are sponsoring a resolution at Tuesday's City Council meeting to support bicycle and pedestrian facilities for a new bridge.
Blanton said a bike path on the bridge could link up with other bike paths in the area, including the Crepe Myrtle Trail near the Brookley Aeroplex, and even the Eastern Shore Trail in Baldwin County.
Blanton said, "You could really have a lot of mileage that people could exercise and get off the road and have family time and not feel threatened by the automobile."
We went to the Crepe Myrtle Bike Trail looking for cyclists to ask about a bike trail for the new bridge.
We only found one cycling in this hot weather, and in a hurry to get going.
She said, "I think it's a good idea. It would be an asset to Mobile, and a good support for tourism."
Twenty organizations and businesses have signed a petition on "Change.org" calling for bicycle & pedestrian facilities on an I-10 Mobile River Bridge.
60-308 Support bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the I-10 Mobile River Bridge (sponsored by Council members Rich and Manzie).

stop eating it just say Thank you mom, but no thank you" I am not in to that.....I would like something with less,of what you thing is making me so full where i can hardly walk after eating, something i have trouble see straight......
Have me cook for you...
Easy just do what I did...

"Dammit *****!! Put down the fork and stop trying to kill me!!!"

"I'm not trying to..."

"Just stop mom. For Christ's sake, just stop!!!"

"I'm so sorry son, I love you. I never meant..."

"STOP!!!"

Worked every time ;)
Tell your mom if you become fat u will have a miserable, lonely life and you won't be paid the same wages as a skinny person gets who has the same education & work backround- that's a FACT. some TV show went under cover and found this out- sad but true- LOOKS DO COUNT. they shouldn't but they DO!
just say youre on a diet? or don't finish your food...idk. i understand, i went vegeterian for a while because i hated the way my mom cooks. she cooks with lard and fries everything. She still cooks like that and i still hate it. sometimes I like what she makes but its usually soups or stews....and bread.
There is enough medical information out there that you could show your mom to support you wanting to eat smaller portions of her great meals.
What does she do - force the food down your throat? You don't have to eat anything you don't want to.
Does she shove food in your mouth and gag you or something?
Here is how to stop gaining weight: Start moving instead of sitting on the couch. Eat healthy. Youre an adult. Your sister isnt "feeding" you. You choose to eat because you want to. You only have one body.

Also I wanted to let you know your racist story about how black people should stick together is BS. I read many of your stories in a short amount of time. I advise you seek help.
You can stop eating what she gives you. You DO have a choice what you put in your mouth. Just tell her, "Sorry, Mom"....and go get a carrot out of the fridge. Your Mom uses vegetables....grab them and steam them before your Mom can use them in whatever fat thing she is making.
Stop eating what she serves up.
How is she making YOU "Fat" ....

YOU control just how much you eat ...

YOU can drink water instead of fattening soda pop ...

YOU can exercise and get the fat off ....

YOU can ask your mom to brink in salad items (NO DRESSING ) except for like a vinegar oil ) ....

YOU are in charge of YOUR body .... take responsibility for it .
No; it is not rude, it is expressing your opinion ....
YOU can still eat smaller portions and do the other things without causing any problems ...
I know what u mean, my mum gets suspicious whenever I want to eat healthier or smaller portions and thinks I'm going to go anorexic :/ I know I don't need to eat what they offer but if I say no they think I'm starving myself and then make my lunch and dinner portions bigger or less healthy. Can't excercise right now cos of exam revision but after durning the summer hols I'm gonna try lose some weight by going for walks etc :)
You don't? Exercise is what you need

Here's a flying robot controlled entirely by thought
Professor Bin He from the University of Minnesota is working with students from the College of Science and Engineering on a kick-ass remote-controlled robot concept. It's a quadcopter with a nose-mounted camera that moves on command. Thought command, that is.
To make it work the team designed a "brain-computer interface" that keeps communication between the user, computer and robot, allowing for seamless, thought-controlled fun. The downside is that the controller has to wear an EEG cap — not exactly fashionable, but totally worth it, we've decided.
The copter can turn, move up and down, and even do "tricks" like flying through hoops based on the cap wearer's thoughts. So, if the controller thinks about making a fist with his or her right hand — BAM! — the copter turns right. And if it's two fists simultaneously, the robot will fly upward.
When the user imagines making a movement, neurons in the brain create currents that the EEG cap detects. These signals are then sent to the computer, which translates the thought into a command and sends it to the quadcopter via Wi-Fi.
Bin He and his team are currently looking at practical applications for their thought-control technology. Individuals with limited to no mobility might be able to operate a wheelchair or use a prosthetic like never before.
We know that this isn't a totally new idea, but it's promising to watch these students maneuver a robot around a room without moving a muscle. Check out the awesomeness in the video below.

Wednesday 21 November 2012
Would-be entrepreneurs looking to start a business are being urged to follow a five-point plan.
Public information service Gov.uk says the first thing to do is to research the market of choice and identify potential customers - who is it that is likely to buy goods or services?
Speaking to members of the public about the proposed business offering, and gauging their opinion, is vitally important.
This helps establish whether the business idea has a chance of working, or whether it is a folly that will end up costing the owner money.
Secondly, the potential business leader needs to develop their offering and form a business plan.
"Test your product or service with real customers, make changes, and test it again. Keep doing this until you're sure there's a demand for it," Gov.uk urges.
Thirdly, they should aim to identify partners and suppliers - people who they can work with to develop and sell the idea.
Few businesses are likely to succeed if the founder decides to go it alone. Indeed, the enterprise has a much better chance if they consult people who have taken the same journey.
The fourth stage is to set up the business - and this involves working out which legal structure is most appropriate.
And finally, the company founder needs to attract funding.
"Explore different sources of business finance, from bank loans to government-backed schemes," Gov.uk urges.

(Updates with closing shares in second paragraph.)
Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Time Warner Cable Inc., the second- largest U.S. cable-television operator, fell the most in almost 18 months after reporting third-quarter profit that missed analysts' estimates because of video-customer losses.
Earnings per share were $1.08, the New York-based company said today, missing the average analyst projection of $1.14. The shares fell 7.7 percent to $65.17 at 4:02 p.m. New York time, the biggest one-day decline since May 2010.
Time Warner Cable lost 126,000 video subscribers as customers defected to Verizon Communications Inc.'s FiOS, AT&T Inc.'s U-verse and DirecTV, according to Vijay Jayant, an analyst at ISI Group in New York. Analysts estimated a loss of 113,000, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Overall customers -- video, phone and broadband for corporations and households -- fell by 16,000 in the quarter.
"The aggregate customer number is one investors watch, and a negative number may cause the stock to be weak again," said Laura Martin, a Needham & Co. analyst in Pasadena, California.
DirecTV's "Sunday Ticket" promotion, which gave new customers a free subscription to access all Sunday National Football League games during the year, likely accelerated Time Warner Cable's video decline, Jayant said. DirecTV will release its quarterly results Nov. 3.
Time Warner Cable's revenue rose 3.7 percent to $4.9 billion, compared with analysts' average estimate of $4.94 billion. Net income fell to $356 million from $360 million, or $1 a share, a year earlier.
Slowing Buybacks
The company slowed its share buybacks in the quarter, repurchasing 8 million shares for $573 million. In the second quarter, Time Warner Cable bought back 11.5 million shares for $863 million. Chief Executive Officer Glenn Britt said the pullback was due to the company's $3 billion acquisition of Insight Communications Co. in August.
Investors may be selling today partly as a protest to the company's decision to slow repurchases, said Amy Yong, an analyst at Macquarie Securities in New York.
"Even with the Insight purchase, most people didn't expect buybacks to slow down to this degree," Yong said.
The company gained 89,000 residential high-speed data clients and 16,000 business customers. Residential broadband revenue grew 7.8 percent while video sales fell 0.5 percent.
Britt is positioning Time Warner Cable to be an Internet provider first and a video operator second, according to Craig Moffett, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York.
Betting on Broadband
"Broadband is Britt's anchor product now," Moffett said. "The cable operators are running away from AT&T and Verizon in the broadband business, which has become the engine that's carrying Time Warner Cable."
The 105,000 net broadband-customer gain is four times more than what AT&T and Verizon added this quarter combined, a sign that there is "unquenchable consumer thirst" for Time Warner Cable's product, Britt said on the conference all. Verizon added about 20,000 broadband customers and AT&T gained 3,000.
Fourth-quarter video and broadband net additions are trending similar to a year ago, Time Warner Cable Chief Financial Officer Irene Esteves said on a conference call.
Voice-line additions are trending lower, she said. Time Warner Cable gained 5,000 voice line customers, its lowest quarterly increase since the company was spun off from Time Warner Inc. in 2009.
To fuel demand for its video product, the company introduced an application this year that lets people watch live programming on Apple Inc.'s iPad tablet computer. Time Warner Cable plans to make the app available on other devices, Britt said on today's call.
The devices include Android-based smartphones and tablets, game consoles, Internet-connected TVs and personal computers, according to spokesman Justin Venech.

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Two local organizations joined together Saturday, July 26 to eat hundreds of fried shrimp – and it was all for supporting local law enforcement.
Saturday afternoon at Wintzell's Oyster House in Downtown Mobile, the Good People Brewing Company and Wintzell's Oyster House hosted a shrimp-eating contest as a fundraiser for the Mobile Law Enforcement Foundation.
Representatives from Good People Brewing Company, Wintzell's Oyster House and the Mobile Police Department went head to head to see who could eat the most fried shrimp, as large crowds cheered them on.
The Wintzell's and Good People also raised money online prior to the event, and all food and beverage profits made during the event were also donated to the foundation.
In total, the event raised some $2,500 for the foundation, according a spokesman with Good People Brewing Company.
Ashley Rains with the Mobile Police Department was one of the MPD reps to take part in fried feast competition.
She said she was thrilled when Wintzell's and Good People first approached her about the fundraiser.
"So they reached out to us, and said hey we want to do a fundraiser, let's get together, let's get this going, and we were able to work with them to put this on, we've got a great crowd," Rains told FOX10 Saturday.
Wintzell's reps said they were happy to help out.
"They protect us every day of the week, and this is the smallest thing we can do for them," said Hunter Omainsky with Wintzell's.
This was the first time this event was held for the Mobile Law Enforcement Foundation.
Organizers said they hope to make it an annual tradition through the years.

Published 21 October 2014
Espicom Industry View: Malaysia's strategy of introducing business friendly policies and not least a new set of medical device regulations has seen it continue to attract multinational investment in manufacturing plants in the country. Whilst there has been some change, most local manufacturers tend to specialise in the manufacture of rubber-based consumables, which has resulted in a high reliance on imports. This being a factor, alongside continued investments in healthcare, the medical device market is set to expand at a solid 16.1 % per annum.
Headline Industry Forecasts
In US dollar terms, the medical device market is projected to expand by a CAGR of 16.1%, which should see it rise from an estimated US$1,359.0mn in 2013 to US$2,868.6mn in 2018. By major product area, the 2013-2018 CAGRs are expected to range from 24.8% for consumables to 6.5% for dental products.
In US dollar terms, imports grew by 5.9% to reach US$1,173.3mn in 2013. The performance was generally strong in recent years, with a 0.3% growth in 2009 preceding annual growth rates of 18.8%, 15.2% and 18.3% from 2010-2012. The CAGR performance during 2008-2013 was 11.4%. Based on latest collated monthly data, imports to year ending in June 2014 rose by 11.6% over the previous year to reach US$1,231.2mn.
In US dollar terms, exports grew by 19.7% to US$1,707.4mn in 2013, compared with the US$1,426.9mn reported for 2012. In the 2008-2013 period, exports had a CAGR of 13.6%. The value of exports is considerably higher than the value of imports, with a balance of trade surplus of US$534.1mn in 2013. Based on collated monthly data, exports for the year ending in June 2014 rose by 15.0% to reach US$1,819.2mn.
The government has attempted in recent years to encourage domestic manufacturers to expand production into more technologically advanced products but to date the majority still consists of consumables such as rubber gloves and catheters, for which Malaysia is a world leader. More...

50 Cent Reunites with G-Unit at Summer Jam
While Nicki Minaj brought out Drake and Lil Wayne, 50 Cent staged a family reunion of his own at Summer Jam on Sunday.
During the end of Nas' set, 50 appeared to perform "I Get Money" with some help from his fellow Queens rapper.
Following their public fallout, 50 brought his fellow G-Unit members Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, and Young Buck onstage for their first group performance since 2008. They ran through hits including "On Fire," "So Seductive," and "I Smell Pu**y."
"The Unit is back," said Yayo to the crowd of 50,000 at MetLife Stadium.
Trey Songz also joined the G-Unit captain for his Animal Ambition single "Smoke," Yo Gotti guested on "Don't Worry 'Bout It," and Fabolous debuted the 50-assisted remix to "Cuffin Season."
"Ladies and gentlemen, thanks for coming out. I love you," said 50.

In baseball why don't the pitchers have those tiny earpieces so that the managers can call pitches when needed to. They then cut down on visits to the mound, too.
I would not like the equipment as they would dehumanize the game. Pitchers would then become more like automotons.
Are these devices banned?
