    We just moved hosts on this system, and this has caused a few updates. One is the way we encode and store the encoded passwords.

    Your old passwords will NOT work. You will need to reset your password. This is normal. Just click on reset password from the log in screen. Should be smooth as silk to do...

    Sorry for the hassle.

    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Yankees Hall of Fame catcher Yogi Berra dies at 90 - SFGate


    Longtime New York Yankees catcher and legendary quote machine dies. Famous for various amusing quotes (from Wikipedia) such as:

    • As a general comment on baseball: "Baseball is 90 percent mental and the other half is physical."[3]
    • On why he no longer went to Rigazzi's, a St. Louis restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."[3]
    • "It ain't over till it's over." In July 1973, Berra's Mets trailed the Chicago Cubs by 9½ games in the National League East. The Mets rallied to clinch the division title in their second to last game of the regular-season.[3]
    • When giving directions to Joe Garagiola to his New Jersey home, which was accessible by two routes: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it."[3]
    • At Yogi Berra Day at Sportsman Park in St. Louis: "Thank you for making this day necessary."[3]
    • "It's déjà vu all over again". Berra explained that this quote originated when he witnessed Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris repeatedly hit back-to-back home runs in the Yankees' seasons in the early 1960s.[3]
    • "You can observe a lot by watching."[3]
    • "Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours."[3]
    • "I really didn't say everything I said."[77]


    Managed the New York Yankees and Houston Astros baseball teams.

    His son Dale played shortstop for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1980s and played for his father as manager as a New York Yankee in 1986.

    Inspired the name of Hanna-Barbera's Yogi Bear character. Mr. Berra wasn't too pleased and sued Hanna-Barbera Productions for defamation. H-B's attorneys claimed the character's name was a coincidence and Mr. Berra dropped the lawsuit.
