What is vesicoureteral reflux (VUR)?
Vesicoureteral reflux is the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract. The urinary tract is the body's drainage system for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. Blood flows through the kidneys, and the kidneys filter out wastes and extra water, making urine. The urine travels down two narrow tubes called the ureters. The urine is then stored in a balloonlike organ called the bladder. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra at the bottom of the bladder.
In VUR, urine may flow back—reflux—into one or both ureters and, in some cases, to one or both kidneys. VUR that affects only one ureter and kidney is called unilateral reflux, and VUR that affects both ureters and kidneys is called bilateral reflux.
Who gets VUR?
Vesicoureteral reflux is more common in infants and young children, but older children and even adults can be affected. About 10 percent of children have VUR.1 Studies estimate that VUR occurs in about 32 percent of siblings of an affected child. This rate may be as low as 7 percent in older siblings and as high as 100 percent in identical twins. These findings indicate that VUR is an inherited condition.2
What are the types of VUR?
The two types of VUR are primary and secondary. Most cases of VUR are primary and typically affect only one ureter and kidney. With primary VUR, a child is born with a ureter that did not grow long enough during the child's development in the womb. The valve formed by the ureter pressing against the bladder wall does not close properly, so urine refluxes from the bladder to the ureter and eventually to the kidney. This type of VUR can get better or disappear as a child gets older. As a child grows, the ureter gets longer and function of the valve improves.
Secondary VUR occurs when a blockage in the urinary tract causes an increase in pressure and pushes urine back up into the ureters. Children with secondary VUR often have bilateral reflux. VUR caused by a physical defect typically results from an abnormal fold of tissue in the urethra that keeps urine from flowing freely out of the bladder.
VUR is usually classified as grade I through V, with grade I being the least severe and grade V being the most severe.

What are the symptoms of VUR?
In many cases, a child with VUR has no symptoms. When symptoms are present, the most common is a urinary tract infection (UTI). VUR can lead to infection because urine that remains in the child's urinary tract provides a place for bacteria to grow. Studies estimate that 30 percent of children and up to 70 percent of infants with a UTI have VUR.2
What are the complications of VUR?
When a child with VUR gets a UTI, bacteria can move into the kidney and lead to scarring. Scarring of the kidney can be associated with high blood pressure and kidney failure. However, most children with VUR who get a UTI recover without long-term complications.
How is VUR diagnosed?
The most common tests used to diagnose VUR includeVoiding cystourethrogram (VCUG). VCUG is an x-ray image of the bladder and urethra taken during urination, also called voiding. The bladder and urethra are filled with a special dye, called contrast medium, to make the urethra clearly visible. The x-ray machine captures a video of the contrast medium when the child urinates. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by an x-ray technician supervised by a radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—who then interprets the images. Anesthesia is not needed, but sedation may be used for some children. This test can show abnormalities of the inside of the urethra and bladder.
Radionuclide cystogram (RNC). RNC is a type of nuclear scan that involves placing radioactive material into the bladder. A scanner then detects the radioactive material as the child urinates or after the bladder is empty. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist. Anesthesia is not needed, but sedation may be used for some children. RNC is more sensitive than VCUG but does not provide as much detail of the bladder anatomy.
Abdominal ultrasound. Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. An abdominal ultrasound can create images of the entire urinary tract, including the kidneys and bladder. The procedure is performed in a health care provider's office, outpatient center, or hospital by a specially trained technician, and the images are interpreted by a radiologist; anesthesia is not needed. Ultrasound may be used before VCUG or RNC if the child's family or health care provider wants to avoid exposure to x-ray radiation or radioactive material.
- infants diagnosed during pregnancy with urine blockage affecting the kidneys
- children younger than 5 years of age with a UTI
- children with a UTI and fever, called febrile UTI, regardless of age
- males with a UTI who are not sexually active, regardless of age or fever
- children with a family history of VUR, including an affected sibling
VUR is an unlikely cause of UTI in some children, so these tests are not done until other causes of UTI are ruled out for
- children 5 years of age and older with a UTI
- children with a UTI but no fever
- sexually active males with a UTI
What other tests do children with VUR need?
Following diagnosis, children with VUR should have a general medical evaluation that includes blood pressure measurement, as high blood pressure is an indicator of kidney damage. If both kidneys are affected, a child's blood should be tested for creatinine—a waste product of normal muscle breakdown. Healthy kidneys remove creatinine from the blood; when the kidneys are damaged, creatinine builds up in the blood. The urine may be tested for the presence of protein and bacteria. Protein in the urine is another indication of damaged kidneys.
Children with VUR should also be assessed for bladder/bowel dysfunction (BBD). BBD symptoms include- having to urinate often or suddenly
- long periods of time between bathroom visits
- daytime wetting
- pain in the penis or perineum—the area between the anus and genitals
- posturing to prevent wetting
- constipation—a condition in which a child has fewer than two bowel movements in a week; the bowel movements may be painful
- fecal incontinence—inability to hold stool in the colon and rectum, which are parts of the large intestine
How is primary VUR treated?
The standard treatment for primary VUR has included prompt treatment of UTIs and long-term use of antibiotics to prevent UTIs, also called antimicrobial prophylaxis, until VUR goes away on its own. Antibiotics are bacteria-fighting medications. Surgery has also been used in certain cases.
Several studies have raised questions about long-term use of antibiotics for prevention of UTIs. The studies found little or no effect on prevention of kidney damage. Long-term use may also make the child resistant to the antibiotic, meaning the medication does not work as well, and the child may be sicker longer and may need to take medications that are even stronger.
Current recommendations from the American Urological Association include the following:- children younger than 1 year of age— continuous antibiotics should be used if a child has a history of febrile UTI or VUR grade III through V that was identified through screening
- children older than 1 year of age with BBD—continuous antibiotics should be used while BBD is being treated
- children older than 1 year of age without BBD—continuous antibiotics can be used at the discretion of the health care provider but is not automatically recommended; however, UTIs should be promptly treated
Deflux, a gellike liquid containing complex sugars, is an alternative to surgery for treatment of VUR. A small amount of Deflux is injected into the bladder wall near the opening of the ureter. This injection creates a bulge in the tissue that makes it harder for urine to flow back up the ureter. The health care provider uses a special tube to see inside the bladder during the procedure. Deflux injection is an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia, so the child can go home the same day.
How is secondary VUR treated?
Secondary VUR is treated by removing the blockage causing the reflux. Treatment may involve- surgery
- antibiotics
- intermittent catheterization—draining the bladder by inserting a thin tube, called a catheter, through the urethra to the bladder
Eating, Diet, and Nutrition
Eating, diet, and nutrition have not been shown to play a role in causing or preventing VUR.
Points to Remember
- Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is the abnormal flow of urine from the bladder to the upper urinary tract.
- VUR is more common in infants and young children, but older children and even adults can be affected. About 10 percent of children have VUR.
- In many cases, a child with VUR has no symptoms. When symptoms are present, the most common is a urinary tract infection (UTI).
- When a child with VUR gets a UTI, bacteria can move into the kidney and lead to scarring. Scarring of the kidney can be associated with high blood pressure and kidney failure.
- Voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG), radionuclide cystogram (RNC), and abdominal ultrasound are used to diagnose VUR.
- Children with VUR should also be assessed for bladder/bowel dysfunction (BBD). Children who have VUR along with any BBD symptoms are at greater risk of kidney damage due to infection.
- The standard treatment for primary VUR has included prompt treatment of UTIs and long-term use of antibiotics to prevent UTIs, also called antimicrobial prophylaxis, until VUR goes away on its own. Surgery has also been used in certain cases.
- Secondary VUR is treated by removing the blockage causing the reflux.
Hope through Research
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports research to help people with urologic diseases, including children. The NIDDK's Division of Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases (KUH) maintains the Pediatric Urology Program, which supports research into the early development of the urinary tract. The KUH supports several projects evaluating current treatments for VUR, including the Randomized Intervention for Children with Vesicoureteral Reflux (RIVUR) to investigate whether prophylactic antibiotic treatment prevents UTIs and renal scarring in children with VUR. More information about the RIVUR study, funded under National Institutes of Health clinical trial number NCT00405704, can be found at www.cscc.unc.edu/rivur.
Participants in clinical trials can play a more active role in their own health care, gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available, and help others by contributing to medical research. For information about current studies, visit www.ClinicalTrials.gov.

Friends of African American Art & Culture Announces Student Film Competition,
Our Story Matters
Columbia, SC
Friends of African American Art and Culture (FAAAC) of the Columbia Museum of Art will launch a student film competition on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. in the Museums Garden Terrace. This competition is a showcase celebrating student film work and creativity while promoting and commemorating a pivotal time in Columbias 1963 civil rights historyOur Story Matters. The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2014. A panel of judges will select the winners, and the top winner will receive $500, a video camera, and a year of membership to the FAAAC.
Supported through an AT&T contribution, this project introduces the idea that history happens to ordinary peoplesons, daughters, brothers, and grandparents. At AT&T, we are committed to delivering the technologies and services that keep our customers connected with their world today and with opportunities for the future, said Ted Creech, director of external affairs for AT&T. We are excited to support this project, which will connect young people with the history and heritage of Columbias civil rights journey. According to Brandolyn Thomas Pinkston, president of FAAAC, too many of Columbias pivotal moments and landmark decisions have been forgotten and too many of these stories have never been heard. Through this project, local high school students will learn about the history of Columbia by studying events of the civil rights movement in the state said Pinkston.
The program is open to Columbia area students in grades 912. Additionally, free workshops will be held for students on SC civil rights history and film production. The workshops will introduce: 1) documentary; 2) civil rights history in SC; 3) shooting video/camera work for visual storytelling; 4) video editing; and 5) producing a "short short" documentary. Students will explore the challenges faced by their subjects in the civil rights movement and how their activism led to historical events.
The film competition is made possible in partnership with Columbia Chapter of The Links, Inc., ColumbiaSC63, Richland School District One, Richland School District Two, Benedict College, University of South Carolina School of Journalism and Mass Communications, USC Media and Civil Rights Symposium, and Richland Library.

Captain Sophia Coloma of the Clarke has a simple task: Ferry around representatives from Earth in an aging spaceship that the Colonial Union hopes to sell to them. But nothing is as simple as it seems, and Coloma discovers the ship she's showing off holds suprises of its own...and it's not the only one with secrets.
"Tales from the Clarke" is a tale from John Scalzi's The Human Division, a series of self-contained but interrelated short stories set in the Old Man's War universe.
Listen to the complete edition of The Human Division, the fifth full-length book by John Scalzi in the Old Man's War universe.
©2012 John Scalzi (P)2013 Audible, Inc.
"Very good 5th story"
These short stories are starting to come together to make a very good saga.
All have great narration. The narration of any book is very important to any story.
Tell us about yourself!
"Cubs and Cards help out Harry Wilson"
Good ol' Harry back to stir things up in a story that is typical John Scalzi. Love the humor and even has baseball thrown in for good measure. More intrigue and mystery to build upon previous episodes, but this is a nice little self contained story, well worth the 69 cents
"Another Engaging Episode"
This was another fun little episode in Scalzi's ongoing series. Scalzi continues to craft the interesting characters and crew of the Clarke together piece by piece. This one picks up after episode 3, but doesn't follow directly, rather continues the story some weeks later. Wilson and the crew get a new ship, but not the kind they wanted, and the mission they are sent on is not all it seems to be at first.
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
"The Crew is Back!!!"
i liked this episode, there is a moment in it where you get a good laugh... and you see the results from the past episode and what the union is doing now for earth....
I hope the next episode will be more and more deep into the plot...
"Tales from the Clarke, ship that keeps flying"
I have enjoyed John Scalzi, mostly short stories, but now I am hooked and like to check out his novels or longer stories. Well worth the listen, but get the first 4 to understand this 4th Episode.
My wife says she can read me like an open book. Though she regrets not being able to shut me up the same way. :)
"Frustrated. But still hanging on..."
(Follows from my reviews in eps 1-4.) So, I think I'm figuring out what that ineffable "something" is that I'm not gelling with in these "episodes" format.
I think it's the fact that each of these "self-contained" short stories feels like chapters of a novel where the first third of each chapter finds us breaking continuity so the author can "re-acquaint" us again with the storyline. If you see irony in breaking continuity so as to keep readers aware of a continuous storyline, don't worry, you're not alone.
Then there's the whole bit toward the end of each chapter where we have to slow momentum -- just when it's starting to build -- for the sake of wrapping up with a convenient end to the episode....
... Only to start the next episode and have to suffer an indoctrination all over again to summarize highlights in previous episodes.
That's what I don't like about this serial format.
Okay. With that off my chest. On to Episode 6. >:-\
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"Not a standalone story"
This is Episode 5 of the Human Division series. Scalzi has apparently divided what could have been one book into multiple separate episodes. I don't understand that logic (at least not yet), as the episodes don't stand alone unless you're a fan of a very short plot with a flimsy leave-you-wondering type of ending. Hopefully the weak connection between the episodes will build with each one and culminate in an interesting finale, but that is not evident yet after five episodes.
Reader did a good job, even though it was not a difficult narration to perform. This episode lacked the irritating transcript style with all the he said/she said crap which absolutely ruined some of the earlier ones. Thank goodness!
"Enjoyable Story"
This is one of my favorite stories in this series. I really enjoy hearing stories of people from the Clarke, and their interactions while on the Clarke.
"The "B" team continues"
Good plot and the characters met earlier and beginning to assume stronger personalities. Well up to the standard of earlier episodes.
Defender Of The Week Collector Of The Paycheck. "I Don't Fail I Succeed At Finding Ways That Don't Work!"---(Christopher Titus)
"Good Little Ship"
Tales from the Clarke returns us to The rest of of the B-Team. While waiting for Reassignment. The Crew of the Clarke Find themselves assigned a mission that like the First mission is more than it seems. Captain Sophia Coloma proves why she's a ship's Captain. The story itself is simple, while showing off a Ship that The CU plans to sell off to Earth to pave the way for diplomacy. a simple oversight provides proof that that there's more to the mission than meets the eye. the story plays itself off as a one off chapter in the overall narrative, and it fits well into the overall tale.

THIS shouldn't come as any great surprise:Sarah Palin continues to have a negative image nationally, according to a new HuffPost/YouGov poll. But frequent viewers of Fox News have a more positive image of her, and most are pleased with Palin's return as a contributor to the network.
According to the new survey, 52 percent of Americans now have an unfavorable view of the former vice presidential nominee, while 37 percent have a favorable opinion. Seventy-three percent of Republicans in the poll had a favorable opinion of Palin, but 73 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of independents had an ...

GORE-TEX® Paclite®
What is it?
GORE-TEX® Paclite® garments feature the lightest, most packable fabrics. GORE-TEX® PacLite® garments are durably waterproof, windproof and breathable and are built for activities when weight and space are critical, but protection is still important.
How does it work?
The outside fabric is constructed of high-performance polyester or nylon and the inside uses a specific GORE-TEX® membrane with a protective layer made from an oil-hating substance and carbon. So no separate lining is required. This makes GORE-TEX® Paclite® shells lighter and smaller to pack away.
Special Gore-Seam® tape technology ensures all seams are 100% waterproof.
What are the benefits of this technology?
GORE-TEX® products with Paclite® product technology is the ideal solution for hiking, golf, travel and other activities where space and weight are critical. A protective layer on the inside of the GORE-TEX® membrane makes a separate lining unnecessary. The result: minimum weight and pack volume.

They met over their dogs. Gail Caldwell and Caroline Knapp (author of Drinking: A Love Story) became best friends, talking about everything from their love of books and their shared history of a struggle with alcohol to their relationships with men. Walking the woods of New England and rowing on the Charles River, these two private, self-reliant women created an attachment more profound than either of them could ever have foreseen. Then, several years into this remarkable connection, Knapp was diagnosed with cancer. With her signature exquisite prose, Caldwell mines the deepest levels of devotion, and courage in this gorgeous memoir about treasuring a best friend, and coming of age in midlife. Let's Take the Long Way Home is a celebration of the profound transformations that come from intimate connection—and it affirms, once again, why Gail Caldwell is recognized as one of our bravest and most honest literary voices.

Q & A for Let's Take the Long Way Home
Kelly Corrigan: I cried a lot reading this book, thinking about people I couldn't stand to lose, my necessary pillars, as you say. I can imagine how much it hurt to write and rewrite it and then open the bound manuscript for the first time and not be able to hand it to Caroline. But I also know this book keeps her alive in some ways, keeps her name in conversation. How has all this—writing, publishing, reading—affected your grieving?
Gail Caldwell: The jury's still out on this one. I've finally accepted after all these years, having lost both my father and mother as well, that grief itself is a lifelong process. That's not really bad news. Loss reshapes you, and I think if you can bear staying inside it for a time, there are great blessings on the other side of all that sorrow.
I do know one palpable victory that all this has given me: a record, if you will, of Caroline and me that lives outside of my own shifting interiors. I can look at the book or read from it, or hear readers respond to it, and think, "Well, there we are." It's a great consolation.
KC: I'm a big fan of fighting— if that's what it takes to keep a relationship real. There's nothing more depressing to me than falseness and niceties and the unspoken. I think you feel the same way, and I think this is exactly what distinguished your friendship with Caroline. Is that right?
GC: There were so many things, in retrospect, that distinguished our friendship that they've all blurred together into one mosaic: humor, intensity, shared loves. I do think that each of us had a commitment to emotional honesty in relationships that matter, and we acknowledged early on that this one mattered to us, and that we would do what was necessary to keep it real, keep it free of the baggage of the unspoken, as you put it. Probably the fallout of years of therapy on both our parts. Not everyone wants to "communicate" this way, but we were evenly matched. It might have driven some people crazy, but in our case I think it was liberating—it helped to establish and maintain the trust between us.
KC: I think it's hard to find something new to say about love and friendship. Your first line all but acknowledges that you agree. How anxious were you about crossing the line between familiar and trite?
GC: That wasn't really a concern for me. Eudora Welty once said that there are something like seven stories in the world, and that we just keep retelling them. I was less worried about saying something new than I was about saying something real. I think that the truth, or success, of any writer's story lies partly in its specificity and its emotional honesty. I wanted to deliver the depth of the connection I had with Caroline, as well as the loss of her, and convey those things to the reader without sentimentality.
When I wrote that first line that you mention—"It's an old, old story: I had a friend and we shared everything, and then she died and so we shared that, too"—it was all I could write of the book for a year. I left it lying on a legal pad until I was able to go back and begin to tell the story. It seemed to me then, as now, that the oldest stories are sometimes the simplest and the most universal.
KC: I was so knocked out by your observations—not wanting to throw out your friend's spare keys, for example. Was it hard for you to revisit those moments?
GC: The most meaningful passages for me were also, not surprisingly, the most difficult, or at least bittersweet, to write. I love the memory of us in the woods together, and the sound of Caroline's voice, and how funny she was. The wrenching parts, from after she got sick—they belong to another country.
One thing I realized as soon as I began the book was that all the memories, good and bad, seem to have been there waiting for me to unearth and articulate. That's the beauty of the unconscious, and the heart's archive: nothing ever really goes away.
KC: I don't have a dog. And I never did. What am I missing?
GC: Oh good, now I get to quote Caroline, from Pack of Two: "wildness and nurturance and trust and joy." I'm writing about dogs in my next book, and I spend huge swatches of time watching and thinking about what they give us and evoke from us. Clementine, my first Samoyed, had such grace and equanimity that I used to refer to her as my better half.
Living in the company of another species (particularly Samoyeds, who are great clowns) teaches me enormous things: humility, patience, great love, the mystery of connection, much of it nonverbal. Plus you get to play in the snow, walk in the woods, continually make a fool of yourself. And you have a built-in social excuse: "Sorry, I have to walk the dog."
KC: I know from my own experiences that illness is humbling. It's hard to need so much help, even for the most comfortable among us. Those who suffer from alcoholism need a lot of help. Do you think your personal histories with alcohol informed the way you cared for Caroline and the way she responded?
GC: I never thought about our shared history as having this effect, but I'm sure there's some truth to it, at least from my end. Illness is the great equalizer, isn't it? You can't go through something as searing as facing alcoholism, which brought each of us to our knees, without some sense of having broken open that last private space of autonomy and trust. In AA they call it the gift of desperation, because you're forced to let people in.
My caring for Caroline, to the small degree that I was able, was unthinking and automatic. But her illness and its trajectory were so brutally swift that we were doing everything on the run. I think it was probably easier for Caroline to worry about me than about herself; certainly I know the reverse was true.
KC: Over the course of a year, because of the topics of my own books, I end up talking an unnatural amount about dying and crisis. I wonder sometimes if I am becoming less sensitive—like a doctor who has lost her bedside manner. Have any calluses grown where you used to be tender?
GC: Maybe I'm a little tougher. Not harder, but hardier. At readings and signings, I've been moved and astonished by the commonality of this experience, and by what readers have been willing to share with me. It's a universal language.
I hope I understand other people's losses a little better, and don't feel the need to rush in and fix things. I love Annie Proulx's line on this: "If you can't fix it you've got to stand it."

- Abstract
- It is well known that the clustering of galaxies depends on galaxy type. Such relative bias complicates the inference of cosmological parameters from galaxy redshift surveys, and is a challenge to theories of galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper we perform a joint counts-in-cells analysis on galaxies in the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey, classified by both colour and spectral type, η, as early- or late-type galaxies. We fit three different models of relative bias to the joint probability distribution of the cell counts, assuming Poisson sampling of the galaxy density field. We investigate the non-linearity and stochasticity of the relative bias, with cubic cells of side 10 ≤L≤ 45 Mpc (h= 0.7) . Exact linear bias is ruled out with high significance on all scales. Power-law bias gives a better fit, but likelihood ratios prefer a bivariate lognormal distribution, with a non-zero 'stochasticity', i.e. scatter that may result from physical effects on galaxy formation other than those from the local density field. Using this model, we measure a correlation coefficient in log-density space (rLN) of 0.958 for cells of length L= 10 Mpc , increasing to 0.970 by L= 45 Mpc . This corresponds to a stochasticity σb/b of 0.44 ± 0.02 and 0.27 ± 0.05 , respectively. For smaller cells, the Poisson-sampled lognormal distribution presents an increasingly poor fit to the data, especially with regard to the fraction of completely empty cells. We compare these trends with the predictions of semi-analytic galaxy formation models: these match the data well in terms of the overall level of stochasticity, variation with scale and the fraction of empty cells.

The total costs of diagnosed diabetes have risen to $245 billion in 2012 from $174 billion in 2007, when the cost was last examined, says the American Diabetes Association. This figure represents a 41% increase over a 5-year period.
The study, Economic Costs of Diabetes in the US in 2012, includes direct medical costs of $176 billion, which reflects costs for hospital and emergency care, office visits, and medications; and indirect medical costs totaling $69 billion. Indirect costs include absenteeism, reduced productivity, unemployment caused by diabetes-related disability, and lost productivity due to early mortality. In addition, the study found that:
The research also examined costs along gender, racial and ethnic lines, and included state-by-state data. Key findings include:
The study will be published in the upcoming April issue of Diabetes Care.

All the Pixar stuff sounds great, really looking forward to that Inside Out movie.
I'm kind of interested in that Tinkerbell movie too cause I want to see what they do with a young Hook.
All the Pixar stuff sounds great, really looking forward to that Inside Out movie.
I'm kind of interested in that Tinkerbell movie too cause I want to see what they do with a young Hook.
For most of the people slamming Disney because of Planes, their production slate looks more promising.
I know Planes is not that great but it's meant for a specific target audience. It's also a big commercial for merchandise (Cars franchise is the big merchandise seller). SO I'm willing to accept Planes for now as the future looks promising.
Pixar stuff looks awesome. Frozen and and Zootopia. I think Big Hero 6 will rock.
We're in good hands.
I would have liked to see what Disney Pixar could have done with something like Guardians of the Galaxy (instead of dressing up overpaid live actors and surrounding them with a bunch of CGI effects)...this medium doesn't have to be reserved for entertaining and subliminally educating 10 year olds.
I still don't understand why there has yet to be an Incredibles sequel. That could easily be a great franchise. The Jack Jack short is great. My kids would love one or two or three more...
I think Disney's acquisition of Marvel makes an Incredibles sequel less likely. And given the success of the Marvel MCU kind of redundant.
People who have been bitching about pixar recently well they have all new stuff on the slate minus finding dory. Inside Out sounds excellent.
So much good stuff to look forward to especially the first disney/marvel animation with big hero 6 but zootopia sounds really promising to me. Want to see more on it as info becomes available.
Hey blankczech.
Ever hear of Heavy Metal, Beowulf or Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within?
Yeah...animated films not intended for young kids that were pretty decent but sadly poor money makers.
Not a good business model.
Because Breaking Bad is not a science fiction, fantasy or horror series. It's a completely real world situation with real world characters. And didn't it just end?
These animated films look good. Now that I have a young child in the family I'm paying more attention.

Cyril Despres, KTM's 4 x Dakar winner went out an did the business required on Saturday to take stage and overall victories on the final day of the new six-day Desafio Rally in Argentina, part of the Dakar Series.
On a day that was a mere short dash of some 80 km compared to the other competition days, the French-born rider finished his week's outing with a win in the final stage just short of a minute behind local rider Mario Gomez with KTM rider Jakub 'Kuba' Przgonski in third. That was enough to put Despres and Przgonski 1-2 on the overall podium Gomez picked up the minor podium place. Cyril Despres was on his Dakar-winning KTM 450 Rally bike.
Despres' factory teammate, albeit from a different discipline, Taddy Blazusiak, KTM's Extreme Enduro and EnduroCross specialist, finished a creditable ninth in the final stage. For the Polish rider it was a heroic nineteenth overall in what could be described as a baptism of fire into the world of rally sport. Currently on a long break from the US EnduroCross competition, Taddy decided to 'stay on two wheels' and join his friend Cyril on this latest South American adventure.
Completely new to the sport and the finesse of managing the navigation and the road book, Blazusiak went out and gave it a very good shot. His overall result also reflects the fact that he did not finish stage two after crashing and aggravating an old shoulder injury and on Stage Five he proved to be a very good teammate when he offered his wheel to Despres after he had wrecked a tire, allowing the leader to keep going and secure the victory.
Going into the final stage Despres was quietly confident but underlined that 'anything can happen' in the last dash for the finish and while the final day was the shortest in terms of kilometers, it was by no means a pushover. The first part of the stage was fast track punctuated with tricky hairpin bends and others that were slow with very different radiuses. They wove their way through a complex maze of palm trees, estuaries and bridges over rivers that flow into the Paraná. To wrap up the day's rider they tackled a section of loose surface very typical of the Litoral region.
This Dakar series event was not only a good opportunity for Despres, Prozgonski and Blazusiak to keep in shape in the mid season, it was also an excellent opportunity for South American riders to measure themselves against several of the world's best.

Hi, I need your suggestion.
My max budget is around 400$ per month( 600-650 including insurance,gas, maintenance) i can get around 1.27 APR in DCU for my credit. I have one offer for used Accord 2013 EX-L 7k miles with extended warranty from owner leaving the country. ******The car has these extras, in addition to what usually comes along with a factory body. ** Extended warranty up to 7 years ** Trunk tray from genuine Honda accessories ** Low jack security system. (Helps locating the car w hen stolen) ** Mud guards ** wheel locks ** all weather floor mats .
What is the best price to buy this Accord(including/excluding taxes). Is it good to go for used one or new 2013 Accord EX-L. I am asking it for 22K+Taxes is that good offer?. How much is the 7 years warranty costs? Is that possible to transfer warrenty from owner? What will that warranty covers?
Thanks in advance, Naga

A morning erection that is naturally caused as the brains enters the REM-deep sleep phase. At this stage, the body's skeletal muscle structure relaxes and causes hypervasodilation in the capillaries of the body, resulting in said erection.
After sleeping so soundly and having a great night's rest, it is no surprise to wake up with an erection.

When a person (preferably a man) wakes up in the morning in an upside-down "T" position. Characterized by the largest, possibly most embarrasing erection ever to be witnessed. Also called "morning glory" and "pitching a tent." Ways of getting rid of morning wood include: counting to 100, visualizing your grandmother in a string bikini, and challenging youreslf to a friendly game of horseshoes (ringtoss if no horseshoes are readily available).
MOM: "Billy, wake up! Time to go to school."
BILLY: "God, mom, How many times have I told you to knock?!?"
MOM: "Goodness Billy, why did you pitch a tent inside your bed?"
BILLY: "I didn't mom. It's my morning wood. Now get out!!!"

It was "fitting" that our Chief Creative Officer Joseph Abboud was featured as the cover story of the most recent edition of the The Georgetowner.
A year ago, he opened men's specialty shopping store Streets of Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue, which the article goes on to praise for its sophistication.
But The Georgetowner points out that the impact of Hickey Freeman is felt throughout the capital city. As Abboud explains in the article, "politicians, we say, they buy sincere suits."Both candidates in the upcoming election understand the importance of wearing suits Made in America. Mitt Romney has a penchant for blue Hickey Freeman shirts, according to a salesman quoted in the article. President Obama, on the other hand, wore a tuxedo from our brother brand Hart Schaffner Marx to the inaugural ball in January 2009. The article continues to mention Abboud's many achievements, including dressing the NBC sportscasters at the Olympic games this year.
But at the end of the day, Abboud is not focused on the celebrity aspect of his work. "The greatest accomplishment for me is to see someone who doesn't know who I am buying something I designed and walking out of the store and being very happy about it."
For the full story and pictures of Abboud and the Streets of Georgetown store, click here.

Milan is a must-visit destination for any fashion, opera or football enthusiast. The world's most famous fashion designers compete for shelf space along the Via Montenapoleone shopping street, and supermodels find new creations for their wardrobes during the Milan Fashion Week. The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping centre with its glass roof is a perfect example of 19th century elegance.
Performances such as La Traviata and Carmen at the La Scala opera move the audiences to tears. The walls of the Duomo Cathedral are adorned by 2000 marble statues, and its highest steeple reaches a height of 108 metres. The Santa Maria delle Grazie Church is the home of Leonardo Da Vinci's Last Supper, and Pinacoteca di Brera's collection of Italian art is one of a kind. The San Siro stadium is where Italian passion – and excellent football – can be witnessed with AC Milan and Inter FC competing over Serie A points. The pleasure-seeking traveller's holidays culminate at the Navigli trattorias and stylish nightclubs.
The airport is located 40 km northwest of Milan.

He deserves a bashing. Its one thing to report on what is believed to be credible news ( STEAM for Linux CONFIRMED, expected end of summer ) but then to stand by that statement A YEAR LATER when statements from Valve say "No linux client" just just screams inexperience.
I am sure loads of linux-games dream of having STEAM for linux. its one thing to build peoples hopes up only to have them let down. Its completely different to insist its all good "see see I told you, people didn't believe me". News Flash alot changes in a year. In under a year DNF was cancelled, sold, terminated and relaunched. Anyone making a statement speculating what would happen to DNF would have hit the nail on the head last year simply because a year is a long time....
Holding onto one statement for over a year when soo much has change is just desparate.
Also it has already been confirmed by GaryMod it was serverCode (he even laughed that people actually think there is HL2 for linux).
Also the changes that has occured is todo with PS3 & Portal3 release
Well, that's not quite what Valve said. They said there was no client that they were working on right now (emphasis mine). They didn't slap the rumor off the table and pee on it as you would seem to suggest.
Further, the tone Michael's writing on the subject takes makes me think there may be something to it. I would expect someone who was just making speculation to have rescinded his claims by now. But that's not what we're seeing. Not a week ago, we were told that Source/Steam wasn't running well on Mesa drivers and had framerate issues (if I remember correctly).
Now tell me if you would (and I'd seriously like to know - all kidding aside) how can we be certain that Michael is not privy to some serious insider info and/or is under some kind of NDA?
How is this any different than what you're doing? As you said, a lot can happen in a year. (But I know I've been watching you gripe about this for the last 9 months and THAT hasn't changed.) It's been said here on the Phoronix forums that even if Valve made an announcement next week, Michael is still a sorry SOB for hanging onto this story for so long and it wouldn't mean his report was anything more than luck. It could be argued that this is precisely what you're doing right now, but from the other end.Holding onto one statement for over a year when soo much has change is just desparate (sic).
You might point to evidence at this point such as the aforementioned denial by Valve. Then Phoronix can point to the code base and the rudimentary implementation of Steam under active development before disappearing from the servers in an obvious manner. They can also point to Linux references in the Mac client. I find these arguments, along with Michael's resolute insistence, to be quite compelling.
Do you have insider info that it's not coming and it never will? If you work at Valve I'm willing to join your side of the argument and take what you say at face value.
Yeah, and he's a dick. However this server thing wasn't obvious from his original posting. And if you check carefully, Phoronix reported that it might have been server code. Why are you so shitfire mean about this? It's like you take it personally or something.Also it has already been confirmed by GaryMod it was serverCode (he even laughed that people actually think there is HL2 for linux).
Also the changes that has occured is todo with PS3 & Portal3 release
Portal 3? (Oh the irony!)
I think the people asking him all those questions were being kind of silly. Phoronix was clear that it only "looked like" G-Mod was coming to Linux based on some of Garry's unclear posts. You can actually go back through the article and read where Michael was just sort of investigating the topic. He wasn't definitively saying anything other than he thinks steam games are coming to linux
This isn't exactly any big deal but apparently Portal 2 has references to linux in their shell scripts for osx.
This has already been seen in L4D if I'm not mistaken, so no big deal.
