Creature Comforts was originally a 1989 British humorous animated short film about how animals feel about living in a zoo, featuring the voices of the British public “spoken” by the animals. It was created by Nick Park and Aardman Animations. The film later became the basis of a series of television advertisements for the UK Electricity Board, and in 2003 a television series in the same style was released. An American version of the series was also made. The original 5-minute film Creature Comforts was conceived and directed by Nick Park and produced by Aardman Animations featuring the voices of British non-actors in the same vein as the “man on the street” Vox Pop interviews. It was produced as part of a series called Lip Synch for Channel 4. The film won Nick Park the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in 1990. The film shows various animals in a zoo being interviewed about their living conditions. These include turtles, a female gorilla, a family of polar bears, and a melancholic Mountain Lion who complains about the “lack of space” and the “grass with pollen that gives me hay fever every day!” The dialogue was created by interviewing residents of a housing development, an old people’s home and a family that lived in a local shop (the polar bears). Clay animation was then created that attributed the answers to zoo animals. One of the most popular characters was the Mountain Lion. He was in fact a Brazilian student who lived in a hotel and was talking about his … Video Rating: 5 / 5
“Is That All There Is” was composed by the legendary rock and roll songwriting duo of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Leiber and Stoller were so identified with the early rock and roll era with songs like “Hound Dog”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “Searchin”, and so many others that when this song was released, it took much of the pop world by surprise. It was first recorded by a man named Dan Daniels in 1968, but the following year Peggy Lee took the song all the way to #11 on the charts in October of ‘69 making this her first pop chart hit since “Fever” back in 1958. Leiber and Stoller were inspired to write the song from a story written by Thomas Mann in 1896 entitled “Disillusionment”. This recording earned Peggy a Grammy Award and it has since been enshrined in the Grammy Hall Of Fame. Video Rating: 4 / 5
*READ FIRST TO UNDERSTAND THE STORY* This was also on my previous account: GuardianWolfJilly. This is a video I’ve been wanting to make for weeks and I finally got the chance to. This song is off of Bullet For My Valentine’s newest album, Fever. It’s a great album so I highly recommend it. This is a tribute to my favorite InuYasha couple, InuYasha & Kagome. The story is set in InuYasha’s POV and takes place after the events of episode 52, The Demon’s True Nature. After waking up from his demon state, InuYasha see’s the brutal carnage his demon side is capable of and is terrified. He realizes just how little control he has over it and even feels he’s capable of harming the woman he loves, Kagome. He warns Kagome to stay away from him if she see’s he’s beginning to lose control so he does not harm her. While fighting Naraku, InuYasha is taken over by his demon side and turns his attention to Kagome. Kagome forces herself to flee from InuYasha, but he catches up to her. InuYasha attacks Kagome and sends her falling off a cliff to her death. Not long after, InuYasha comes to his senses and realizes his worst nightmares have become reality. He carries Kagome’s body back to Kaede’s village where they bury her remains. Kaede tries to comfort InuYasha, but the guilt he feels over what he has done overflows in his heart. As time goes on InuYasha continues to have memories and dreams of Kagome, and agonizes over his actions. All that he wishes for now, is that she is in a place … Video Rating: 4 / 5

Question by Nixon!: My dog has rocky mountain fever, is there any caution i should take when im near him?
I just found out my dog has rocky mountain fever maybe from a tick. I am giving him antibiotics i started giving it to him two weeks ago. I give him 2 in the mourning and 2 in the evening. Im will be out of the pills in 2 days, the vet said that the pills should help clear up the virus. But can i get infected? What can i do to prevent that? I walk him everyday so i have to have contact with him. After he takes all his anti bio-tics will all the viruses be gone?
So my dog cant get me infected even if he licks me or something, i can only get infected by the disease carrying tick?
Best answer:
Answer by panache It is a tick bourne disease so if a tick from the dog bites to you,it can infect you.Otherwise you can’t be infected

Question by life_long_song: Is there an end to this tooth pain?
Ok, a bit of back story is needed here…
I have bad dental hygene. I was never taught how to brush my teeth as a kid and my parents never made me do it, so I did not devolope a habit for brushing until I turned 19ish. I am now 21 and brush twice a day, but the damage is done. I have several broken teeth and they are very decayed. Now onto the issue…
I have a broken tooth that is extremely painful. I have been taking IB profen and almost a tube of oragel a week on it and even now the pain is incredible. I am almost thinking of going to the ER but I know they can do nothing for it.
Last week I got the swine flu and had a sore throat with it, and my mom gave me chloresptic drops to suck on for my throat, and that pure sugar right on the tooth sent it into over drive. I know I can try clove oil, but I live in the boon dogs and the closest thing to me in a 50 mile radius is walmart which dosent cary it.
Any other suggestions?
I am sitting here with ice on it a dead tired from the lack of sleep on this.
I cannot go to a dentist as I have no insurance and my job is low paying, I am barely making rent, let alone get a tooth extracted.
Should I go ahead and just have someone help me pull it out?
Best answer:
Answer by DrKK Woman, what you have is a massive bacterial infection that has gone from your tooth into an abscess in your jaw.
I want you to understand this clearly: People can, and do, *DIE* from this when the infection spreads to their heart and brain. You need to have the tooth extracted, or a root canal done, IMMEDIATELY, and be put on antibiotic therapy, immediately. Call some dentists, explain your situation financially, and find out what can be done—you might be pleasantly surprised when you find a dentist who can get something done for you “pro bono” (i.e., because he’s charitible) or utilize some other resource.
Do not screw around! I am not exagerating: An abscessed tooth (and this is definitely what you have) can progress VERY EASILY to a life threatening situation…especially nowadays.
At a VERY minimum, the dentist can get you a prescription for a $ 4 bottle of penicillin from the pharmacy while you figure out what you’re going to do.
Twitter – www.twitter.com I really enjoy watching daily vlogs from YouTube stars like CTFxC ( CharlesTrippy ), SHAYTARDS, LisaNova, KassemG, and iJustine; so I decided to do my own! I make a video everyday. If you like this one be sure to check out all the rest, and subscribe for future videos. I had to buy dog food today, and there was a kid at the super market that threw up everywhere. When I say everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE! So I made brownies (which turned out better than the girl scout cookies were!) and watched Push on bluray. It was the most fun I could have home alone.
