Plot: In this update of Disney’s masterpiece film mixture of animation and music, new interpretations of great works of music are presented. It begins with an abstract battle of light and darkness set to the music of Beethoveen’s Fifth Symphony. Then we see the adventures of a Humpback Whale calf and his pod set to “The Pines of Rome.” Next is the humourous story of several lives in 1930’s New York City, scored with “Rhapsody in Blue.” Following is a musical telling of the fairy tale, “The Steadfast Tin Soldier” set to Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2. Then a goofy Flamingo causes havoc in his flock with his yo-yo to the tune of the finale of “Carnival of the Animals.” This is followed by the classic sequence from the original film, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” starring Mickey Mouse and followed by “Pomp and Circumstance” starring Donald Duck as a harried assistant to Noah on his Ark. Finally, we see the awesome tale of the life, death and renewal of a forest in a sequence featuring the composition, “The Firebird.”
What's the name of the green mother (nature) girl that comes out in Fantasia? Is it in Fantasia 200?
I remember that a girl covered in green and agua came out and I think she represents mother nature. In the end, something happens to her. I think some volcanic enemy gets her but she comes back. Does she come out in Fantasia 2000? If so, what’s the part that she comes out in called? I know there are some parts for ex: the hippos and flamingos
The character you’re thinking of is simply called ‘The Sprite’ or ‘Spring Sprite’. She appears in the final sequence of Fantasia 2000, which is set to Igor Stravinsky’s 1919 Firebird Suite. The segment has the Sprite awakening and starting the growth of plant life along with a companion elk. She discovers an odd barren place and awakens the ‘firebird’, a volcano which almost kills her. The Sprite survives however, and lives to spread life to the land destroyed. I’ve read the story and it’s look are based on the eruption of Mt. Saint Helens.
Plot: A nursing student (Cross) forced to quit school for family reasons winds up taking a job as a doorman in an elite apartment building in New York City, where he sparks to one of his residents (Roemer).
judge this poem thxxx?
its simple:its complicated
so confused
i think about it
about us
and think in circles
up is down and down is left
and i try to act
put together
even though im slowly
fraying
breaking
the plastered on smile is starting to slip
im starting to show
how i feel
and i hate it
i was always calm
sort of
but then you came along
and burned down
all my carefully placed bridges
and my neat little houses
and now my head is in a mess
i keep falling
and theres nothing
to stop me
to slow me down
except to think of you
and whenever i do that
it hurts
i cant tell anyone how i feel
cant express my thoughts
bottled up inside
waiting to overflow
and the only way i can stay sane
is to see you
to talk to you
to know your there
that you exist
enough of my rambling
its gone on too long
so now ill be on my way
drenched in constant rain
spending my time
thinking of silly little rhymes
to stop myself
from thinking
of you
you could be good, but you really need to a) practice b) use iambic pentameter c) use rhyme and d) start over again!

Plot: Enduringly traumatized by the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter 15 years ago, Julia Sandburg has cut herself off from anyone once near and dear to her, including her husband Doug and her son Chris, who tried for years to penetrate her wall of isolation and despair, without success. But when Julia meets Louise, a troubled young woman with a checkered past, all Julia’s old psychic wounds painfully resurface, as does her illogical and increasingly irrational hope that Louise may be the daughter she lost so long ago.
child psychiatrist in the house?
hello, i have a 3 and a half years old girl who is very cute and a great host she loves being around people…but i have one problem…she is sticking to only one friend, if she is not at the park then my daughter doesn’t want to go, if she left then my daughter wants to leave, and what drove me crazy is that a group of kids wanted them to play all together but my daughter’s friend told her no, so simply my daughter did not go. i explained to he that she has to play with all the kids in the park and that is nice to have lots of friends not only one, and that if that friend didn’t want her to play with the rest then maybe she should let go of her for a while and she will come play with her eventually but my daughter is just to scared to make her upset. i have no clue what to do at all! i want my girl to ply with other kids and to know different kinds of personalities and attitudes….
Does not take a psychiatrist, she will grow. This is typical behavior of a 3yr old
Krista | Feb 03, 2010
I’m not a psychiatrist, but I think you should leave her alone; she needs to make her own decisions about who to play with.
You can’t force her to make friends; trying to do so is putting undue pressure on her for no good reason.
She 3 years old, she’s changing all the time. You have no reason to think she’ll never make another friend the rest of her life.

Plot: When no people are around, the toys still play in the playroom. But since a toy will be frozen forever if a person catches it out of position, they have to be very careful. It’s Christmas Eve, and Rugby the Tiger remembers how he was the Christmas Toy last year, and thinks he’s going to be unwrapped again. And it’s up to Applethe Doll, whom Rugby supplanted as favorite toy, to tell him what’s in store. But Rugby won’t believe her, and tries to get into the Christmas package and lets Meteora, Queen of the Asteroids loose. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know she’s a toy, and thinks she’s landed among aliens. And it’s up to Apple, Mew (the Cat’s toy mouse), and the other toys to get Rugby out of the box and Meteora back in it before they’re found and frozen.
Is it legal for my employer to keep me past my scheduled shift?
I’m supposed to get a certain amount done and have a walk off before I go home, which most of the time I do, however, on days when it’s busy and I’m by myself things don’t always get done on time. (during Christmas it never got done…I work in a toys department.) I’m only one person.
I keep getting told that it is illegal for them to keep me, however, they have no problems trying to force me to stay after my scheduled hours. I’m scheduled till 11pm most of the time and if I don’t leave I miss my bus. (or ride if someone who lives near me is leaving a
round 11pm.) If I don’t get a ride or catch my bus I have to walk 2+ miles in an unsafe part of town, in the cold to catch my second bus that goes by my house. Being murdered or molested doesn’t sound like a good way to end a day at a terrible job.
I can’t find a law that says anything about it. I am aware that I must be paid for the time I work. That is not what I am asking. I’m asking if it’s legal for them to make me stay clocked in past my scheduled time especially when that would put me into a potentially unsafe situation.
I do not believe it is illegal to be required to stay longer.
I worked in the restaurant biz for many years. Never had anyone tell me it was illegal for me to require them to stay longer.
Uncle Pennybags | Feb 01, 2010
they can not force you to stay, they also do not have to keep you employed if you don’t, unless you have a written employment contract stating the hours you work you either stay or they let you go
lcr000 | Feb 01, 2010
As far as I know it is legal… to a point. They cannot make you by force or anything but they can fire you or replace you for leaving. It depends on whether you are in a "right to work" state or have any union representation. If they insist you stay, then you can leave if you wish. You just may lose your job. You are correct that they must pay you every cent for that time. If they wanted unpaid time then that is illegal.
There are a few exceptions…. if you have a union contract, Family illness or emergency, military excused etc. These reasons allow you to leave and it is illegal for them to fire you over it. The family emergency I believe is fairly strick (ie, someone dying or emergency room)
If you are in a "right to work" state then they can fire you for pretty much anything… you could probably get unemployement but they have a lot more power to hire and fire.
sxlock2007 | Feb 01, 2010
if they are paying for you then they can ask you to stay and work, but that does not mean you have to, nor does it mean they have to keep you employed there.. they can fire you and say it was because you did not want to work the scheduled hours.. but you could also fight unemployment, using the unsafe having to walk home because you had to miss your buss because they made you stay..
LadyCatherine | Feb 01, 2010
They can request that you stay, if you decide not to they can request that you do not work there anymore
Pengy | Feb 01, 2010
I agree with prior posts; it’s not illegal for your employer to keep you late. However, I suggest speaking to your manager about your situation. It is possible they will accommodate you considering the situation, but they are under no obligation. If it really is a "terrible job", I suggest looking for another one.
Alex | Feb 01, 2010
Yes they can keep you after your scheduled shift as long as they pay you for your time

have you seen the film 'all the boys love mandy lane'?
is it any good?
I’ve never heard of it no, but will keep an eye out for it.
Plot: Bats, the result of a government experiment gone wrong, have suddenly become intelligent, vicious, and omnivorous, and are attacking people near Gallup, Texas. Bat specialist Sheila Casper and her assistant Jimmy are brought in but can they stop the bats before the military comes in and, in their ignorance, makes things worse?
Can you imagine what it is like to experience as a bat?
and Can you really imagine what it is like to be a fish?
I can imagine, but it’s a far cry from what their life is really like.
Dude | Feb 09, 2010
No, and I will not take it as an endeavor which I am to seek.

Plot: San Diego police detective Mike Dooley has retired from the force, but on the way home from his retirement party, he and his police dog, Jerry Lee, come across a robbery at an electronics lab, in which four valuable prototype computer chips are stolen. When Dooley and Jerry Lee try to stop the robbery, they are slowed down by the FBI, who draw their guns on Dooley. In chasing the thieves, Jerry Lee has swallowed one of the chips, and the other three won’t work without it. In the eyes of the FBI, Dooley becomes a suspect just because he was on the scene at the time of the heist, and his pension is frozen until the case is solved. Since Dooley’s pension is frozen, he decides to breed Jerry Lee for some quick cash to start a private investigation business. Unfortunately, Jerry Lee’s a big slob who farts a lot, and so he has trouble with the higher-brow dog fanciers. But after a successful night of breeding, Dooley gets paid, and winds up with a crush on Catherine Coleman, the female dog’s owner. Jerry Lee gets “morning after” regrets. After a trip to the vet, Jerry Lee passes the computer chip. Dooley cleans the chip and stuffs the chip into the locket on Jerry Lee’s dog collar. Dooley gets his P.I. license and advertises his services in the paper. The first person to call him is Laura Fields, who wants Dooley to help her find her lost fiance. Little do Dooley and Jerry Lee know that all roads in this investigation will lead back to the heist. Dooley has to deal with the FBI, which is tailing him to see how he was involved with the theft in the first place. He also has to deal with his ex-captain and his former colleagues, who all seem to think he’s crazy. As it turns out, Laura is the mastermind behind the theft, and she hired Dooley so she can get her hands on the chip that Jerry Lee has. Can Dooley and Jerry Lee stop Laura before she can get her hands on the chip?
Did you TRAIN your puppy? If so at what age did you start?
I’m getting a German Shepherd soon and can’t wait to train him. I want to do soo much with him. I’m heading into that carer Immigration and Custom Enforcement (K-9 Division) so I want to get more comfortable with training dogs, and handling them.
Anyways, my puppy will come at around 4months from the other side of the country. He’s a champion blood line and costing thousands!!
I want to do schutzhund training with him.
So what age did you get your puppy, when did you start training, and what breed?
-Esmee
(PS_ Sorry for my annoying poll question, I’m going for a run and its still dark out so I’m waiting a bit =P nothing passes the time better then YA!)
Sounds like your GSD is going to have a wonderful life.
You start training them as soon as they come in the door, and to do schutzhund you need excellent basic obedience anyway and good socialisation also.
But if you want to do schutz then I would get in touch with who you are going to go to and see what exactly they recommend for the pups first year before he starts properly.
I’m no expert on it at all, but interested in it.
All the best.

Tracking
The tracking phase tests not only the dogs scenting ability, but also its mental soundness and physical endurance. In the tracking phase, a track layer walks across a field, dropping several small articles along the way. After a period of time, the dog is directed to follow the track while being followed by the handler on a 33 foot leash. When the dog finds each article he indicates it, usually by lying down with the article between his front paws. The dog is scored on how intently and carefully he follows the track and indicates the articles. The length, complexity, number of articles, and age of the track varies for each title.
Obedience
The obedience phase is done in a large field, with the dogs working in pairs. One dog is placed in a down position on the side of the field and his handler leaves him while the other dog works in the field. Then the dogs switch places. In the field, there are several heeling exercises, including heeling through a group of people. There are two or three gunshots during the heeling to test the dog’s reaction to loud noises. There are one or two recalls, three retrieves (flat, jump and A-frame), and a send out where the dog is directed to run away from the handler straight and fast and then lie down on command. Obedience is judged on the dog’s accuracy and attitude. The dog must show enthusiasm. A dog that is uninterested or cowering scores poorly.
Protection
In the protection phase, the judge has an assistant, called the "decoy", who helps him test the dog’s courage to protect himself and his handler and his ability to be controlled while doing so. The decoy wears a heavily padded sleeve on one arm. There are several blinds, placed where the decoy can hide, on the field. The dog is directed to search the blinds for the decoy. When he finds the decoy, he indicates this by barking. The dog must guard the decoy to prevent him from moving until recalled by his handler. There follows a series of exercises similar to police work where the handler searches the decoy and transports him to the judge. At specified points, the decoy either attacks the dog or the handler or attempts to escape. The dog must stop the attack or the escape by biting the padded sleeve. When the attack or escape stops, the dog is commanded to "out," or release the sleeve. The dog must out or he is dismissed. At all times the dog must show the courage to engage the decoy and the temperament to obey his handler while in this high state of drive. Again, the dog must show enthusiasm. A dog that shows fear, lack of control, or inappropriate aggression is dismissed.

i have a siberian husky. he is stubborn when it comes to training, but he learns quickly (as long as i can hold his attention). i started teaching him basic tricks when he around 2 months old…this helped him understand the teacher-student thing. so he started learning at a faster rate. so the sooner you start your training the better. you just have to make sure your dog has respect for you and understands that you are the alpha dog or they simply will not listen to you…
sketch | Aug 11, 2009
Good grief, yes. Training is not optional with a German Shepherd Dog, it is something that MUST be done and the sooner you start the better. My younger GSD was adopted at 14 weeks of age and we started training the instant we picked him up from the foster home (and they had actually already been working on basic obedience and even puppy class with him). We started our first basic obedience class about 6 weeks after we brought him home (because that was the first available one that our trainer had…the rescue actually has a clause in their adoption contract that all dogs adopted from them have to start obedience class within 4 weeks of being adopted, we had to arrange to take the class later than that because we already had an established trainer and could not get in before then).
Training isn’t something you do for a few minutes a day and then don’t do the rest of the day. A dog is learning *something* every moment they are awake, so you might as well take advantage of that fact and do your best to make sure that what your puppy is learning is what YOU want them to learn. Any time you have anything that a dog wants is a great time to sneak in a little bit of training and teach the dog that you are the one who controls the resources and they must behave appropriately and politely in order to get what they want. We train at meal times, we train at play time, we train pretty much constantly when the dog is a puppy. Not necessarily formal training, mind you, but if a dog in my house wants anything (petting, going outside, food, treats, etc) they are going to have to work for it at least a little…even if "working" for it simply means making eye contact. While this may make it sound a bit like I’m controlling every little move my dogs make, that isn’t true at all. In most cases they have the choice of ignoring me. However, they rarely choose to ignore me because experience has taught them that that choice does not get them what they want.

Plot: The big-screen version of Hunter S. Thompson’s seminal psychedelic classic about his road trip across Western America as he and his large Samoan lawyer searched desperately for the “American dream”… they were helped in large part by the huge amount of drugs and alcohol kept in their convertible, The Red Shark.
What are some good questions to put on a book project for fear and loathing in las vegas.?
Im doing a book project on fear and loathing and I need some good questions to ask the class from the book and if you can some vocabulary too. thanks for the help.
The drug use attracts more attention than anything else, maybe ask about how so much of it is a representation of freedom. The author mentions the american dream a lot, which has to do with doing what you want. Rampant consumption of illegal substances during a police convention, is this him exercising freedom, or a sign that there may be too much freedom? Where do you draw the line?
she loves being around people…but i have one problem…she is sticking to only one friend, if she is not at the park then my daughter doesn’t want to go, if she left then my daughter wants to leave, and what drove me crazy is that a group of kids wanted them to play all together but my daughter’s friend told her no, so simply my daughter did not go. i explained to he that she has to play with all the kids in the park and that is nice to have lots of friends not only one, and that if that friend didn’t want her to play with the rest then maybe she should let go of her for a while and she will come play with her eventually but my daughter is just to scared to make her upset. i have no clue what to do at all! i want my girl to ply with other kids and to know different kinds of personalities and attitudes….
