25 Disney Characters Inspired By Real-Life People

Maybe you watched a Disney movie and a character reminded you of an actor or actress? It could very well be that they were inspired by that person. Disney often uses real-life references to make the characters look and act more realistic. They observe the body motion, expressions, even clothes. They also often include personality traits that the reference model has into the character or habits they have.Animators use not only people as references. Disney has a lot of characters that are animals so they have to study their behavior and how they move as well. So it seems that animators have to be a little bit of a Jack of all trades as they delve into human psychology and...

Sony HT-A7000 Sound Bar system review

I’ve never owned a sound bar myself, but I completely understand the convenience. With a sound bar you don’t need equipment racks or a nest of cables and it’s pretty simple to set up. But as someone who prioritizes sound reproduction over all other factors, I’ve always been drawn to dedicated speakers, individual surround processors, and amplification.

Opening the Heart to Grief

Grief is the natural human response to loss. People who don’t care about other people don’t grieve. People who don’t know love are walled off from grief. People who love carry the burden of grief. This is hard. It is tempting to build a wall against loss– particularly when it is not our own personal loss, but someone else’s– but that only lessens our innate humanity. To be truly and deeply human is to grieve. The question is how to grieve in a way that does not crush or overwhelm us, and opens us to loss in a manner that can lead to renewal and hope. None of us can continue living without some shard of hope, however slender. It...

10 Crazy Places to Store Your Survival Food

You needn’t have been prepping for long to understand the importance of storing food for long- or indefinite-term survival situations. Once you are no longer able to dash down to the grocery store to plus-up on your weekly provisions, the pressure will really be on.
