- "All planes, focus all fire on Garuda Team. The others aren't worth wasting bullets on. "
- ― A Strigon Team member during the Battle of the Moloch Desert
The Garuda Team is a squadron within the Republic of Emmeria Air Force Eastern Air Region Air Defense. It served in the REAF's 8th Air Division as its 28th Fighter Squadron.
During the Emmeria-Estovakia War, Garuda Team proved to be a very valuable asset to Emmeria, becoming such a threat to Estovakia that they were force to dedicate entire operations just to take them down. This renown resulted in them becoming national heroes for the Emmerian people.
They were a key factor in deciding the outcomes of many crucial battles during the war, ultimately allowing the Emmerians to emerge from the war as the victors.
Garuda Team is the player's squadron in Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation.
Invasion of Gracemeria
- "Garuda 1, you do not have a wingman. Let's see... Shamrock. Shamrock are you alone, too? Very well. As of now you're Garuda 2."
- ― AWACS Ghost Eye
After scrambling from Gracemeria Air Force Base, AWACS Ghost Eye was quick to realise that Garuda Team only consisted of one member, Talisman. He shortly after realised that Marcus Lampert callsign "Shamrock" was also alone and so assigned him to be Garuda Team's number 2.[1]
Garuda Team along with the rest of the Emmerian forces fought valiantly to defend their capital city of Gracemeria. They almost managed to drive out the Estovakian invaders but were forced to retreat from the airspace when cruise missiles launched from the P-1112 Aigaion wiped out large portions of the defending forces. The enemy ace squadron Strigon Team, led by Victor Voychek soon arrived after to shoot down remaining aircraft. However, during the retreat Garuda Team managed to damage Voychek's plane forcing him to land and relegating him to ground duty.[1]
Khesed Island
- "Garuda 1, I've got a hunch we'll be going home a lot sooner with you on board."
- ― Marcus Lampert
After the loss of major cities and key locations on the Anean mainland, Garuda Team along with a substantial amount of the Republic of Emmeria's armed forces were forced to retreat to Khesed Island, an island off to the east of the Emmerian mainland.[2]
The Bombing of Vitoze, Estovakia launched a bombing campaign on the city of Vitoze where Emmerian forces were stationed to try and bring a swift and decisive end to the war. Garuda Team and other air squadrons were sent up to defend the territory from the approaching bombers. They were successful in this operation and soon began plans to retake the island of Khesed from Estovakian control.[3]
The Battle of Sipli Field, the first step in retaking Khesed was to wipe out a large portion of Estovakian ground forces located in Sipli Field. This was the first time Garuda Team participated in a battle of this scale but despite this, managed to spearhead the assault and successfully drive all enemy ground forces out of the vicinity.[4]
The Battle of Bartolomeo Fortress, this battle was the final battle fought on Khesed and it resulted in Estovakia being driven off the island thanks to the efforts of Garuda Team and combined efforts from the Emmerian air forces and ground forces. During the battle two members of the Strigon Team arrived to try turn the tide of the battle however they were shot down by the team.[5]
Pushing towards the capital
- "Garuda Team, you guys work to hard. You're stealing all our thunder!"
- ― Saker after recapturing Bartolomeo Fortress
The first major operation the Emmerians launched after establishing a beachhead on Anea was to to help rescue a substantial portion their forces pinned down in Silvat Town. Garuda Team provided support to multiple units across the battle ultimately allowing the Standoff in Silvat Town to result in an Emmerian victory. Following this decisive battle, Garuda Team would help its allies push further into the Anean mainland.[7]
During the operation over the Selumna Peaks, Garuda Team successfully aided the Emmerians in almost successfully pushing through the area when Nimbus missiles from the P-1112 Aigaion once again began to pose a threat to them. Due to this, the Emmerians began to pull out and Garuda Team was tasked to escort the evacuating forces. The cruise missiles were being guided by UAVs which Garuda Team proceeded to shoot down, ending the missile threat for the time being. After te operation was completed, the Emmerian command began to draw up a plan to end the Estovakian cruise missile threat by destroying their Aerial Fleet. In order to do this however, they needed to secure a staging point from which they could launch their surprise attack. Concluding that an airfield within the coastal city of San Loma would suffice, the Emmerians began to move towards the city to recapture it from occupying forces.[8]
Launching from San Loma's airfield, the Republic of Emmeria Air Force flew over the Fuscum Sea to meet the Aerial Fleet whilst its radars were hampered due to midair refuelling. Garuda Team was the lead squadron during the Assault on the Aerial Fleet. Shortly after Emmerian forces began attacking the fleet, the several Strigon Team members which were stationed at the Aigaion took off to defend it. Lorenz Riedel, the Belkan defector responsible for the Aerial Fleet also took flight. There was a fierce battle over the Dead Sea between Estovakian and Emmerian forces but in the end, all Strigon members present and Riedel were shot down with the Aerial Fleet. Talisman of the Garuda Team landing the final blow on the Aigaion which send it crashing down into the sea below.[11][12]
Defying orders
- "Ghost Eye, what the hell do you know about losing a family member? I'll take whatever the hell action I see fit!"
- ― Marcus Lampert
During the battle in the Moloch Desert, Emmerian forces were on the brink of victory when they received an order to retreat in response to the Estovakian WMD threat. As the order was being relayed, the Strigon Team entered the combat airspace. Shamrock, outraged by the order decided to go against it claiming he wouldn't stop this close to reuniting with his family in Gracemeria and Garuda Team proceeded to down all Strigon planes that had arrived.[13]
When they returned to base, Talisman and Shamrock were penalised for defying a direct order and were restricted to doing nothing more than accessing their barracks.[13]
- "Looks like you're going to have to face the music. Eliminate those enemy planes!"
- ― AWACS Ghost Eye
The Emmerian military soon realised that they would need to deal with the newly discovered WMD threat posed by Estovakia. They would need to infiltrate Fort Norton and destroy the enemy's WMD catalyst. They understood that the only team within their ranks which would be able to successfully complete the mission is Garuda Team and permitted them to go on sortie.[14]
Garuda Team successfully destroyed the WMD catalyst but on their way back to base they were intercepted by an entire battalion of enemy fighters which they would need to fight. It was an arduous battle but Garuda managed to hold off until allied re-enforcements arrived.[14]
When they arrived back at base, all of their previous commendations and medals were restored.
The Liberation of Gracemeria
- "They've opened up the gate to our city! We've got the Garuda Team to thank for this!"
- ― Emmerian Ground Unit following the success of Operation Free Gracemeria
Estovakia retaliates
- "What the hell is with these guys? Haven't we seen enough death?!"
- ― Marcus Lampert
The night after Gracemeria was liberated, the Emmerian pilots took to the skies to patrol their newly recaptured capital in case of an enemy re-invasion. It is here where Shamrock reveals that his wife and daughter were both killed during the war and goes onto say that this was going to be his last mission. After their patrol mission, Snake Pit detected something on radar. Cruise missiles escorted by Estovakian fighters began entering the airspace on course to destroy the city and every air force squadron and missile defence platform moved to destroy all incoming cruise missiles. Garuda Team aided in defending from the missiles and soon after AWACS Ghost Eye triangulated where these missiles were coming from.[16]
- "Let's go, Garuda 1! It's time to finish this!"
- ― Marcus Lampert
The Battle of Sonne Island is the last known deployment of Garuda Team and it was to be one of their fiercest yet. The Estovakians completed their asteroid defence railgun, the Chandelier and were now using it as a weapon against the Emmerian capital. During the battle, Marcus Lampert bravely went in to acquire key data on the Chandelier's back up cooling unit, successfully transmitting the data but getting shot down in the process. Garuda 1 then flew in and destroyed the backup cooling unit thanks to the data provided by Garuda 2, though this was not the end of the Chandelier and Talisman was forced to fly into the gun barrel of the giant rail gun to destroy its final area. Talisman then flew home with the rest of the Emmerian air force and Shamrock was picked up by a rescue team.[17]
After war
- "Talisman, this is it. This is what we've been fighting for."
- ― Marcus Lampert
Marcus Lampert, now confined to a wheelchair for the time being due to his crash now resides in Gracemeria. He then visited Melissa Herman's home, where he finally met the person whom he had heard on the radio during his final mission.[18]
- There is evidence to suggest that Garuda Team was a three-man squadron early in the game's development.
- Early screenshots show three pilots using the same aircraft (see #Gallery).
- The Garuda Team emblem shows three stars, implying three aircraft in the same way that Galm Team's emblem shows two stars for two aircraft.
- The prototype video for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, which is based on Ace Combat 6's engine and believed to be set in Gracemeria, shows the player forming up in a flight of three at the end of their air battle.[19]
- The Garuda, in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology, is a large bird-like creature that acts as the mount of Vishnu.
- "Garuda" is used in Hindu to refer to the constellation Aquila, after which the Yellow Squadron was named.
- The callsigns of the two members of Garuda Team - Talisman and Shamrock - are both symbols of good luck.
- In Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception, an enemy ace named Garuda can be found in the mission Pinned Down. The ace flies a Mirage 2000D.

Okay, I've noticed this behaviour in Logos for some time in a number of Bibles. It is not a big thing but it bugs me because I see it so often. Occasional I've reported it as a typo as it doesn't appear correctly to me.
It seems to only happen after a footnote at the end of a line when the text is in narrower margins. Below is an example from the NET Bible in Psalm 89. When I select the text I can't find an extra space but certainly the appearance isn't right and I'd love to see this eliminated in Logos.
I'm guessing that it has something to do with the formatting. Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Using adventure and community to challenge young people to continually say "yes" to God
Here are another couple of examples from the same chapter. I'm guessing that the footnote impinges on the margin which pushes the space to the next line. I realize that the footnote needs to stay with the word this it is referring to but I think that, in cases like this, the better behaviour would be to have the word with the footnote drop down to the next line in order to eliminate the blank line appearing in the middle of the verse.
We have a bug tracking this issue in our text display engine. (It doesn't only happen after footnotes, but it does happen most often in text with short line widths, e.g., Hebrew poetry.) The only workaround right now is to make the panel wide enough that it no longer happens.
Bradley, thanks for confirming that you are addressing this issue. It is not the end of the world to have an extra line here and there but it is sort of annoying. I've seen it in a number of resources for a long time. I used to report them as "typos" although I knew that it wasn't a typo. Finally I decided to create a post about this.
I realized that it only seemed to be an issue with narrower margins and that it could be avoided by widening those margins. Unfortunately for me, I really want to keep those narrower margins to fit by standard layout. I also find it much easier to read for the same reasons why newspapers have narrow margins.
Thanks again.
Bruce Dunning:Bradley, thanks for confirming that you are addressing this issue.
Just so you don't have false expectations... Bradley is not confirming that the issue is being addressed. He is confirming it's an issue that we are aware of. There isn't currently any information on when or if this issue will be fixed.
Thanks for clarifying this Andrew. When I mentioned that the issue was "being addressed" I wasn't thinking that the problem was being actively pursued but rather that you at least knew that it existed and perhaps would some day be fixed. (I choose to be optimistic )
I trust Faithlife to prioritize how to allocate their limited resources to the issues that are the most important and I realize that this would not be at the top of that list.

Steam downloads for instance use to peak consistently around 2.2 - 2.3 MB/s easy for the last 2 years or so, now I am lucky to get 1.6 - 1.7 MB/s. Everything thing else in general from all over, download sources are way down. I have even purchased a new ADSL modem to test out if the old modem had and issue, they are both the same (put the old modem back in place).
I done a heap of speed tests, before this slow crap started happening I was getting consistent 18-19 Mbps, now all I can get is 14 - 15 Mbps. I live right next to the exchange cabinet, literally only a few meters away. No way slingshot are going to say anything to their customers about this, I be pretty sure they will just drive the knife in the customers back and twist it for good measure. My line rate connection is just a high as its ever been, can definitely feel the brakes are on hard.
There is no way I can prove anything, and yea I would be open to slander because of all the so called "variables", but I have reason to believe the unlimited ADSL plan from slingshot is being throttled as of recently. I was on the 250GB plan (no issues), and was assured that the new unlimited $89 plan a few months back had the throttling removed from it, which I had no issue with the change over (just the same as the 250GB plan). If I were to guess, then it may have something to do with the $89 unlimited plan being adopted by current and new customers, many will be in this ship now and it something had to be done to keep it floating, throttle the speed.

Trump warns ex-FBI chief James Comey as former head of security says he wants to give evidence on explosive claims about President
Former intelligence chief was investigating Trump's alleged ties with Russia before he was sacked
DONALD Trump appeared to send out a warning shot to fired FBI boss James Comey, after it emerged he wants to give evidence on explosive claims about the US President.
Trump said "nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic" during his first commencement address as commander-in-chief.
A source close to Comey has hinted he wants to publicly testify about Trump's alleged ties with Russia during his election campaign.
Trump's sacking of Comey was met with a public outcry.
The FBI boss was investigating claims that Trump's team was linked to a cyber attack from Russia that aimed to dent Hilary Clinton's chances of becoming president.
Most Read in News
Comey was given the boot two days before he was due to give evidence to a committee on Thursday.
He is no longer a government official and so did not attend the hearings.
Trump said after the sacking: "When I decided to just do it, I said to myself, 'You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made up story.
"It's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should've won."
A cyber attack led to the publication of thousands of emails hacked from the account of Clinton's campaign chairman.
President Trump made his first commencement address at Liberty University, whose president Jerry Falwell Jr was one of his earliest supporters.
The US President told the crowd: "Nothing is easier or more pathetic than being a critic.
"The future belongs to the dreamers not to the critics.
"The future belongs to the people who follow their hearts not to the critics."

Every of us will need to have a great education. In formal education, a curriculum is the set of programs and their content provided at a school or college As an idea, curriculum stems from the Latin word for race course , referring to the course of deeds and experiences by way of which children grow to turn into mature adults A curriculum is prescriptive and is predicated on a more normal syllabus which merely specifies what matters have to be understood and to what level to achieve a specific grade or customary.
One could be silly to suppose that our education system meets the requirements of every child that enters at the tender age of 5 or 6 and leaves after 13 years. On any given faculty day, over 1 billion children all over the world head to class. Our newsletters present the most recent information on education information and events, as well as particulars of sources and activities that will help you assist your kid's studying.

Most companies are aware of the benefits that good employee experiences can bring. However, too often they invest in the physical, tangible aspects of a workplace rather than other important factors – such as workplace services.
As Leesman Index puts it in their new research report, with the "vast capital sums invested in refurbishment and relocation fit-out projects, leadership teams should rightfully expect them to deliver significant operational benefit. But our evidence shows this not to be the case with just 34% of projects delivering high-performance results".
Leesman's evidence from research across 250,000+ employees in 2,000+ workplaces shows that the highest performing workplaces are those that "place the individual's needs at the heart of the solution." The workplaces that reap the highest productivity, pride and enjoyment results are those that understand the work profile of the employee and build a responsive and respectful infrastructure around them.
Workplace Services separate top-performing companies from bad
As part of the research, employees were asked to pick the most important work activities in order of importance and say how well they are supported. They were given a list of 21 activities, of which a third were those where the quality of facilities service is an important factor (i.e. planned meetings; relaxing/taking a break; hosting visitors, clients or customers; and hosting larger group meetings or audiences). The report revealed that the largest gaps between the top-performing companies in terms of workplace experience and the average were related to workplace activities where service plays a significant role.
Employees recognize service-related features as the most important
When discovering which workplace facilities and services are the most important to create a great employee experience at work, the respondents were offered a list of 50 options.
As visualized in the graphic below, the results were clear. In the workplace, employees prioritized the service-related features of office life above the hard assets.
Let us know your opinion! Do Workplace Services comprise an important component of creating a great employee experience in your business?

- Interestingly enough, Freeman admits that there's a "small chance" Fitzpatrick could elect to retire from the NFL. However, he stresses that this is a "small chance."

LONDON, United Kingdom — Goldsmiths' Hall was illuminated by half a dozen chandeliers heavy with flickering candles which set the gilded 19th century interior to shimmering. Simone Rocha's collections blossom against such backdrops. Her latest was no exception. Her women looked like they'd stepped out of history in their black lace and brocade, 18th century Constable necklines and leg'o'mutton sleeves. Rocha's work is defined by a handful of recurring elements: tulle veiling, asymmetrical ruffles, bows and ribbons, the dramatic splash of a red rose embroidered on a black background. They can be fragile or they can be fierce. The determining factor is her own state of mind.
Her emotions have covered the waterfront over the past few seasons. This time, she talked about "little rebellions," a hint of punk in the tartan and "tied-up tailoring" that was more structured than it had ever been, and a tour de force trio of lacquered tweed coats. The boldness was refreshing, all the more so because Rocha didn't feel pushed to blur the hard edges with any of her signature soft touches. There is so often something of the nursery about her work that it benefits from a hint of nightmare. Not only does that help to negate the historicism, but it also opens up the collection to a wider range of responses. I want more than a swoon.

The overall goal of our laboratory is to characterize the structure/function relationships of a variety of enzymatic catalysts at the atomic level. Much of this work is being extended into efforts to engineer novel structures and properties onto existing protein and enzyme scaffolds. A unifying theme between many of the individual projects is the selection and engineering of these enzymes for targeted therapeutic and/or biotech/industrical applications.
The tools employed by our lab are X-ray crystallography, computer modeling, and genetic manipulation of the molecules of interest, combined with biochemical analyses of function.

Condolences from the McKinney family. Prayers for you and your family. ❤
Steve, I am so sad to hear this but happy I stopped in to see her right before I left Ohio. She was out gallivanting in her wheel chair and someone had to hunt her down for me. 😉 I know Deb is happy and well now in heaven & I'll savor my good memories of her. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear this Steve. Praying for you all
So sorry for your loss Steve and family.
Steve, I am so sorry for your sudden and unexpected loss. My sincere sympathy.

This research investigates the feasibility of using local grading of composite structures to improve structural performance and functionality of composites. The technique controls the composite morphology by the combination of high-precision liquid resin printing and consolidation programmes.
This localised deposition enables higher additive loading and decreases the manufacturing costs compared to bulk modification of polymer composites. This novel technique maps local composites properties hence enabling a design space which exhibits greater stiffness contrast, which leads to an improvement in the structural performance. Further, the functional properties can be tailored to local requirements by utilising a variety of additives like carbon ...
Arjun Radhakrishnan is a PhD student in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Advanced Composites for Innovation and Science. The PhD focusses on formulating the design space for a novel closed-loop out-of-autoclave processing for multi-matrix multifunctional polymer composites. He received his MSC in composites from Imperial College London and worked on the processing of carbon-nanotube-based multi-level polymer composites.

This is one of those posts that is sure to cause disagreement, because of the very nature of lists, and the very nature of film. What appeals to one person doesn't appeal to another. Why I may love a particular film may not be important to another person. And with Walt Disney Animated features, because they are so much a part of our collective lives, there's very little chance that any one person could agree on what makes one film in particular the "best" Disney film.
But like I said, this is my list. This is how I think all 55 films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, beginning with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937 and ending with Zootopia in 2016, should rank, from worst to best. Here, we start with the bottom 10. The following ten films, are what I consider to be the worst of the animated films ever released by the true masters of the art form. Which shows that even the masters can have a really bad day. What do you think?
55. Home on the Range (2004) This is it. The bottom of the Disney barrel, and it's a sad place to be. This was the studio's last hand-drawn feature for many years, which is a sad way to end the legacy started with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It's a well-drawn film, with some stellar character animation, and great Western-style songs by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater (whose Oscar-winning for previous Disney features was highlighted in the film's marketing). But it also features cows as the main characters. Cows. Cows, which are so visually unappealing that Disney stopped animating one of its original animated stars (Clarabelle the Cow) because of that whole udder thing always being there. In addition, casting Roseanne Barr (who has one of the most grating voices of all time) as the heroine was a bad decision. The film clearly doesn't know whether it wants to be a comedy, a musical, a Western, or an road trip/buddy movie. While it does have some great moments (the songs are a definite highlight, "Little Patch of Heaven," "Wherever the Trail May Lead" and "Will the Sun Ever Shine Again" are all very good songs that deserved a better film to live in) and some genuinely funny moments, the film really doesn't find its voice. Randy Quaid does give a stellar vocal performance as the main villain, and his song is also a standout. Sadly, it's not enough. This is just a weird film that lives in a forgotten corner of the collective Disney consciousness.
54. Chicken Little (2005) Disney's first CG film is also one of its worst. While it has a cute concept and a great father-son relationship (voiced nicely by Zach Braff and Garry Marshall, and a great song by Five for Fighting about their relationship), it tries too hard to be funny and ends up coming across more annoying than anything. Character design is weird, and it doesn't trust the source material story enough to actually do something with it. Instead of a great moral tale, it becomes a strange movie about anthropomorphized animals battling aliens. Pop culture references may be what sells a Dreamworks Animation film, but they don't work from the Mouse House. Any Disney film that ends with a dance party (like nearly every Dreamworks film) is just not getting it, and it shows that here, the creative team at Disney had forgotten what made it so successful just 10 years earlier: a good story. How the studio famous for adapting fairy tales could screw this one up so badly remains a mystery. Sorry, Zach Braff, your vocal performance deserved to be in a better film.
53. The Aristocats (1970) Despite its inception before Walt Disney's death, this is one of the studio's worst films, feeling very much like a feline version of 101 Dalmatians, but without that film's charm or classic villain. Instead, a film that is supposed to be set in 1910 France features dogs from the American South, Jazz (which didn't show up in Paris until after WW1), 1960's love beads, balmly English geese, and the most ineffectual villain of any Disney film, ever. And don't get me started on the fact that O'Malley is just Baloo the Bear in cat form. On a side note, the song "Everybody Wants to Be a Cat," although out of place from a historical setting, is a great song, sung to perfection by Scatman Corothers and Phil Harris. In addition, Eva Gabor is quite lovely as Duchess, and gives a hint at who good she will be in a few years as much different animated character. Paul Winchell's appearance as a Siamese Cat who speaks in an unfortunate "Asian" accent (with a hint of Tigger) is a bit cringe-worthy today. Yes, Marie the kitten has gone on to be a favorite, but that is due more to Disney's Consumer Products division than to her being an actually interesting character. Perhaps it would have worked better as it was originally intended: a live-action, two-part television show.
52. The Sword in the Stone (1963) With great source material comes great responsibility, and Disney's treatment of the Arthurian legend, based on the wonderful book by T.H. White, is just the opposite of great. While I have always loved the character animation, especially that of Merlin and Archimedes (the owl, whose extended laugh at one point in the film is in itself a great comedic moment), the film just seems like it wasn't very high on the studio's priority list. Missed opportunities abound, especially with such great source material. Instead of an epic film, it's slapdash and sometimes silly. The vocal performances by Karl Swenson (as Merlin) and Junius Matthews (as Archimedes) are probably some of the best in any of the animated features, but Wart is voiced by no less than three different boys. While the wizard's duel and interaction with Madame Mim is easily the best part of the film, it's tiresome to see dancing mops and brooms so far after Fantasia. The songs, by the Sherman Brothers in their first studio outing, are just okay, (the best one is the opening, sung by a bard, "The Sword in the Stone"), and the final sight gags with Merlin in Bermuda shorts are just not right. Great voice acting, great animation, wasted in a lame adaptation about one of the greatest legends of all time.
51. Saludos Amigos (1942) This is not a bad film per se, but just not a cohesive collection of short films. The first of the "pacakage" features from Disney during the war years, it has several great segments, including the "Pedro" short about a little mail plane on its first adventure, Goofy's first real "How To" short, showing how to be a South American cowboy. The highlight of the film is the "Aquarela de Brasil," which introduces Joe Carioca and makes great use of the song (which went on to have a life of its own). From a historical perspective, the most intriguing parts of the film are the live-action segments interspersed throughout, showing Walt Disney and his associates touring South America on a goodwill tour. It's fun to see Walt and his team in action, especially the great Mary Blair, who would go on to be so influential at the studio in later years. The title song did earn itself an Oscar nomination, and individually, the pieces are fine. But it's just not a good feature.
50. The Fox and the Hound (1981). Don't get me wrong, I love some of this film. Glen Keane's breakthrough animation of the bear fight still stands as a highlight during the dark days of Disney Animation after the Don Bluth walkout and before the second golden age began–and it justly earned him his place as one of the greatest animators of all time. But the songs are not good (the sing-talking song the Widow sings as she drops off Tod at the game preserve is especially grating), Paul Winchell's use of his Tigger voice as the character of Boomer the bird is tiresome, and the whole thing seems cloying and manipulative. You know from the beginning of the story that nature will take its way, and eventually the two cute friends are going to be enemies. While the voice work of Corey Feldman and Keith Coogan as the younger versions of the main characters are quite adorable, Kurt Russell as the grown up Copper seems to not match the much older Mickey Rooney as the grown up Tod. There is no real "villain" in the story, which greatly narrows the dramatic appeal. The fox in the title is a very likable character. However, the hound is kind of a jerk. Is it nature or nuture? Well, you get to decide, and wonder just what Tod saw in that little creep Copper.
49. Make Mine Music (1946). Like the other package films of the 1940's the parts of this film are better than the whole, especially since the Company has edited out one of the best sequences ("The Martins and the Coys") because of "too much violence." Featuring popular singers and performers of the 1940's, there are several good moments in the film: "All the Cats Join In" by Benny Goodman comes to life in a fast-paced "sketch to animation" stylization based on animator Freddy Moore's infamous pinup girls, "Casey at the Bat" features Jerry Collonna's hyper and quite funny retelling of the famous baseball story, with lots of verbal word play and puns brought to life in a way that only animation can. "Johnny Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet" by the Andrews Sisters amazingly makes you feel for the characters–two hats that fall in love. On a lesser note is Sterling Holloway's narrative version of "Peter and the Wolf," with the classic musical tale being brought far too literally to life. The highlight of the film both artistically and narratively is "The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met," which tells the story of an operatic whale named Willie. Willie's daydream of playing various great opera roles onstage at the Metropolitan Opera is fantastic–and Nelson Eddy, who tells the story, also sings every character part–including the three-part harmony of the titular whale Individually, segments are great. But as a feature, it feels like it's missing something.
48. Robin Hood (1973). This is a hard one for me personally, since it was the first Disney animated film I saw in theaters and my connections to it run deep. But it's just not very good. Despite outstanding character design by Ken Anderson and great character animation by Disney's Nine Old Men (in one of their last features), it's a piecemeal film made up of interconnecting sequences, strange voice casting (several famous Western stars like Pat Buttram show up in Nottingham, England–in the Middle Ages), and, because of budget concerns, reused animation from films like Snow White, The Jungle Book, and The Aristocats. At this point, Phil Harris' casting as Baloo (oops, I mean "Little John") seems just plain lazy, and the entire football fight scene to "On Wisconsin" is just plain weird. It does feature some good songs by Roger Miller (personal favorite is "Not in Nottingham," which is probably the most depressing Disney song ever written) and the Oscar-nominated "Love," which is almost Chet Baker-esque. The best part of the film is easily the jolly good vocal performances by Brian Bedford as the title fox and Peter Ustinov as the villainous Prince John.
47. Melody Time (1948). Another one of the package films. Highlights are Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers' retelling of Pecos Bill (although later video releases have cut all smoking references from the film due to Disney's current "no smoking in movies" policy), which features great character animation by the Disney artists and great singing by the famous cowboy star and his band. The Andrews Sisters do a fantastic job with Little Toot, about a tugboat that can't seem to stay out of trouble. The song itself is extremely catchy, and Disney animators make an anthropomorphic boat quite loveable. I do like having Donald Duck and Joe Carioca reuinte in Blame it On the Samba, which is a great song and features a fun mix of live-action and animation. Johnny Appleseed has lived on, in part because of the song "The Lord is Good to Me" and singer Dennis Day's performance as both Johnny and his Angel. Melody Time is a nice collection of stories and songs, but it's just not a great film. (Special mention must be made to Mary Blair, who was an inspirational artist for the studio, and whose influence is clearly seen in both Johnny Appleseed and Once Upon a Wintertime–her influence on the look of Disney films into the 1950's only begins to be noticed here.)
46. The Black Cauldron (1981). I would like to rank this film higher, but it's a troublesome movie. It's clear that the story team knew they had epic source material (Lloyd Alexander's Newberry Award winning Prydain Chronicles based on Welsh legend) and do their best to imbue every moment of the film with a sense of "bigness." The stakes are very high–the destruction of the known world by an army of deathless warriors–and there is a sense of danger unheard of most Disney films. Watching, one is actually a bit concerned for the safety of the main characters. But the danger doesn't come from the primary villain at all. The Horned King is scary looking and suitably gravelly voiced (by John Hurt), but he doesn't do anything except wait for the titular cauldron to bring his army of skeletons back to life. He's a menacing presence of danger, but he himself doesn't feel dangerous–and that's the film's biggest weakness. A villain whose face is a skull with horns coming out of it should get into the fray a bit. Imagine Sleeping Beauty if Maleficent didn't become a dragon or Star Wars without Vader flying into the final Death Star battle. It's like The Horned King doesn't want to get dirty. Made by a new generation of Disney animators, who show very well what they had learned from the masters (it's very well animated), it was a risky film: no songs (although the score by Elmer Bernstein is quite good), lots of dead bodies and a sense of menace, and the longest prolonged cleavage joke in family animation history. But the risk doesn't lead to reward. For a film where the entire world is threatened, it feels like the biggest risk was playing it safe. And I've always loved this movie. (Maybe Disney will get it right with the just-announced live action adaption of the series.)
45. Fun and Fancy Free (1947). Combining two separate stories into one, this is one of the last "package" films created by Disney. Wrapped in live-action segements (ventriloquist Edgar Bergan and his pals Charlie McCarthy and Mortimer Snerd are having a party with Luanna Patten in Hollywood–wow, that even sounds weird), the movie tells the story of Bongo the Bear and Mickey and the Beanstalk. Bongo is a nice enough story with cute songs and Dinah Shore delivers well ("Lazy Countryside" is a beautiful lullaby), but there's nothing very engaging about a circus bear who decides he wants to live in the country. Mickey and the Beanstalk, however, is a fantastic adaptation of the classic fairy tale with Mickey and his pals Donald and Goofy as the protagonists. The animation of the trio is top-notch, the character voicing by Clarence Nash, Pinto Colvig, and Walt Disney (in his final appearance as Mickey) is perfect. Songs include "In My Favorite Dream," sung by the Singing Harp (Anita Gordon) and "My, What a Happy Day," and the best song in the movie, "Fee Fi Fo Fum," sung by a giant who is so likable that–well, let's just say they veer from the source material. Billy Gilbert, the voice of Sneezy the dwarf, delivers an even better performance as Willie the Giant.
So there you have it. The bottom of the Disney barrel. I'm certain that there are a few choices here that will raise the ire of a few Disney fans out there. So, what do you think? What's your feelings about this list?
And are you ready for number 44-34? How will your favorite Disney film fare? Part Two next week on The Disneyland Dad.

Fox News Contributor and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley called the idea of Democrats investing Brett Kavanaugh if they re-take the majority in Congress a "dreadful idea."
Turley stated, "It's a dreadful idea. Indeed, there was something called the dreadful counsel that was used in Medieval times, where you could actually dig someone up and put them on trial. … So, sure, you could have a trial for the dead if you wanted, or the confirmed, but it is a dreadful idea. The framers created this process to have some finality. Now, the Democrats may not like the outcome of the vote, but 50 — over 50 senators are expected to be satisfied with this record and to confirm this nominee. If we're going to start to do do-overs every time the majority changes, then we will never have a stable court."

Giorgio Armani Si Perfume
My obsession with this perfume called 'Giorgio Armani Si' began innocently enough. I received a sample of it on a paper card and discarded it in my handbag. However after putting the perfume tester in my bag, I would get a constant whiff of this beautiful scent daily whenever I would open up my bag. The more and more I would smell it, the more I have fallen in love with it. The perfume tester is still in my handbag now two weeks later and the scent is still stronger than ever. It is amazing how long this scent has lasted! I have given my boyfriend the hint that this would be a great Christmas present option for me!
Jelly Sandals
I have seen the return of this 80's / 90's trend in the stores of late and I love it! I used to love wearing my jelly sandals when I was a kid. They are so cute, colourful and comfy and I had not seen these crazy sandals in stores since I was a child until now. I really want some but in my mind I cannot look past these cute sandals as children's ware despite being sold in adult sizes. I am also hesitant because I worry that their unique look will mean that they won't match any of my clothes! However these fab black jelly sandals from Dotti could very easily change my mind! Maybe I should buy some cute pink glittery ones too just for the hell of it for old time's sake?
Pretty Camera Bags
I am so glad that some beautiful camera bags exist now such as these ones I found from Jo Totes! I do not own a DSLR camera but if I ever bought one, the next thing I would buy is one of these bags! The normal camera bags you get with your camera are so ugly and bland and it is great to see bags that look like an average woman's hand bag. Love them!
I do not drink wine. Well not until I discovered Moscato! Brown Brothers Moscato to be exact. Sooo yummy! It is the best tasting wine I have had ever! I honestly do not usually drink wine because I do not like the taste. I have tried quite a few varieties in the past, and none have sold me except for this one. It is so fruity, sweet and delicious! If you are usually a cocktail drinker like me and don't usually opt for wine, give this a go!
Heston's Christmas Pudding
My boyfriend and I love watching Heston's show and see the magical and tasty creations he makes every episode, so I could not pass up the opportunity to buy some of Heston's Christmas Pudding which are currently being sold in Coles for a limited time. It is probably the closest we will ever get to food made by Heston and they are very yummy! I know I bought them a bit early since it is November, but last year I missed out because they had sold out by Christmas! I would suggest getting in quick to try these before they sell out again.

Scammers claiming to be from BT hijack vulnerable woman's phone and tablet
PUBLISHED: 12:31 11 September 2019 | UPDATED: 15:58 12 September 2019
Avon and Somerset Police
Scammers hijacked a vulnerable woman's mobile phone and tablet in an attempt to gain access to her bank account.
Marian Chisholm has a degenerative brain condition which means she has the cognitive function of someone in their 80s.
The scammers, claiming to be from BT, told Mrs Chisholm she had a problem with her internet connection.
Mrs Chisholm said: "I know not to give out any information, so I told them they wouldn't get any details from me.
"But the woman who called me said she wasn't going to ask for any information.
"She sounded a lot like someone from BT.
"It all happened really quickly, I couldn't keep up"
The scammer then convinced her to install Quick Support team viewer software on her mobile phone and tablet, which they then used to take control of her devices and set up internet banking apps in an attempt to empty her account.
Mrs Chisholm became aware of the attempted theft when she received an email from the bank telling her she had set up an internet banking app on her phone.
She said: "I have never wanted internet banking because I couldn't deal with it, and I don't think it is safe.
Mrs Chisholm's son eventually intervened, taking the phone from his mother and abruptly hanging up.
However, the damage has been done.
Mrs Chisholm added: "I had to spend three hours at the bank sorting it all out.
"I just hope my story stops this happening to anyone else."
A spokesman from fraud prevention group, Action Fraud said: "The criminals behind this type of fraud are devious, ruthless and inventive.
"They rely on people's honesty or use bullying and high-pressure tactics.
"Fraudsters can claim to be from the police, or your bank's fraud investigation team, or service providers like BT.
Action fraud also gave the following advice to spot a scammer: "The caller doesn't give you time to think, attempt to stop you speaking to anyone else, and are incredibly insistent and threatening. They also request things a genuine caller wouldn't such as to transfer money to a new account or ask for your card PIN or online banking password."
