PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) ? Mickey Mouse and Winnie the Pooh took the stage in North Korea during a concert for new leader Kim Jong Un, in an unusual performance featuring Disney characters.
Performers dressed as Minnie Mouse, Tigger and others danced and pranced as footage from "Snow White," ''Dumbo," ''Beauty and the Beast" and other Disney movies played on a massive backdrop, according to still photos shown on state TV.
The inclusion of characters popular in the West ? particularly from the United States, North Korea's wartime enemy ? is a notable change in direction for performances in Pyongyang. Actors and actresses also showed off new wardrobes, including strapless gowns and little black dresses.
In recent years, performances such as the "Arirang" mass games featured performers dressed as panda bears in homage to North Korean ally China.
This appears to be the first time Disney characters have been included in a major performance, though Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse have been popular among children for several years. Backpacks, pencil cases and pajamas imported from China often feature Disney characters, and stories such as "Dumbo" have been translated into Korean for North Korean schoolchildren. However, it is unusual to make such images a central part of a North Korean performance and to publicize it on state TV.
It was unclear whether the Disney characters were officially licensed. U.S. sanctions prohibit the import of North Korean goods to the United States, but do not ban the sales of American consumer products in North Korea unless they involve officials or companies on the U.S. Treasury Department's sanctions blacklist.
The performance was staged Friday by the Moranbong band, which was making its debut after being assembled by Kim himself, the state-run Korean Central News Agency said.
Kim, who took power after his father, longtime leader Kim Jong Il, died in December, has a "grandiose plan to bring about a dramatic turn in the field of literature and arts this year," KCNA said.
The dispatch made no mention of Disney characters, but said the concert included the traditional folk tune "Arirang" as well as a number of upbeat foreign songs.
Featuring Disney characters signals that Kim may be seeking to carve out a different image than his father and grandfather by easing restrictions on Western culture, said Koh Yu-hwan, a North Korean studies professor based in Seoul, South Korea.
Kim, who is in his late 20s, has sought to project an image of youth, vitality and modernity.
Early Sunday, he led top officials in paying their respects to his grandfather, North Korea founder Kim Il Sung, at the mausoleum where he lies in state. Kim died 18 years ago Sunday.
Earlier in the year, a quintet of accordionists became a YouTube sensation for their arrangement of "Take on Me," a pop song by the Norwegian band a-ha.
North Korea and the United States remain in a technical state of war because they signed a truce, not a peace treaty, after three years of fighting in 1953. The foes do not have diplomatic relations.

Advanced SystemCare with Antivirus 2013 is a brand new product by the developers of Advanced SystemCare that combines the maintenance, optimization and cleaning options of the program with BitDefender?s 2013 antivirus engine.
The program detects security software that is already installed on the system and suggests to uninstall existing products before commencing with the installation. It is alternatively possible to install the antivirus component as a second line of defense in compatibility mode.
When you start the program for the first time after installation, you will notice the Antivirus listing on the program?s startscreen. You will likely be prompted to update the virus definition database right away to make sure the latest information are available on the system.
The main interface leads to the following main program hubs:
You can scan the system for malware here. Simply select one of the available scan options, or open the settings first to customize the scanner. Here it is possible to schedule regular scans, whitelist files or folders, switch to silent mode which blocks antivirus notifications when an application is running in full screen, and check the quarantine and log files.
The antivirus component uses the full BitDefender antivirus technology.
Quick Care and Deep Care are Advanced SystemCare?s core components. I?m going to concentrate on Deep Care here, as it includes everything that Quick Care has to offer plus more. It includes the following modules that you customize to fit your needs:
You can modify some settings before you start the scan of the system.? Here you can for instance customize many of the scans so that particular items are included or excluded from the scan. You can run a scan and automatic repair, or run a scan first to check up on the program?s findings before you click on the repair button to remove only what you have selected.
The tools are sorted into the five categories clean, optimize, repair, security and control. Some of the tools that you find here are also included in the ?Care modules?, while others are only available here.
You can configure Advanced SystemCare to run some of the optimizations automatically.
The settings offer a wealth of configuration options, from configuring individual program modules over logging and backup to adding items to a whitelist to exclude them from scans.
The inclusion of BitDefender?s antivirus technology in Advanced SystemCare adds value to the program which the majority of users will likely welcome. A core benefit here is that users only need to install one program to protect their system from malicious software and make sure it is maintained and optimized frequently. And users who do not want the antivirus component can still pick a version that does not include it.
Giveaway
We have ten one-year licenses for Advanced SystemCare with Antivirus 2013 which we?d like to give away here on this blog. Just leave a comment below for a chance to win one of the licenses. We will draw ten random winners on Sunday then.

(l to r): Taylor Kitsch as Chon, Aaron Johnson as Ben
By Kimberly Gadette (doddleNEWS)
Akin to the project shooting itself in the foot, the studio keeps braying the fact that Savages is an adaptation of the novel that landed on the New York Times? list of Top Ten Books of 2010. That?s all well and good, but can screenwriter Don Winslow (credited with Shane Salerno & Oliver Stone) measure up to novelist Don Winslow?
It seems that he can?t, his particular brand of crackling wit getting lost somewhere between the page and the screen. Take, for example, when Blake Lively?s Ophelia ? or O for short ? denotes in a voiceover the difference between her and her lover?s sexual ecstasies: ?I have orgasms. He has wargasms.? Or, as described in the New York Times? book review by Janet Maslin, ?The Winslow effect is to fuse the grave and the playful, the body blow and the joke, the nightmare and the pipe dream. It?s flippant and dead serious simultaneously.? As intoned by Ms. Lively, the sardonic words take themselves much too seriously, and she comes off as borderline pretentious. Or just plain dumb. Perhaps if the line had been delivered with some brio, or humor, the effect may have been different.
But like the decapitations performed by a bloodthirsty Mexican cartel at the start of the film ? I?m getting ahead of myself.
Ben and Chon not only share a highly lucrative marijuana production and distribution company, but a girlfriend as well. When Ben (Aaron Johnson, star of Kick-Ass and Nowhere Boy) went to college, he double-majored in botany and business. Which was the perfect combination for jumpstarting his indie Laguna Beach company, co-owned by Chon (Taylor Kitsch, star of Battleship and John Carter). Ben is the brains and the charitable heart of the organization while Chon ? who did two tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan ? provides the needed muscle. Along with their ladylove O, who beds them both, they are a happy, frolicsome trio living the good life high atop a hill overlooking a sun-washed, Southern California beach.
However, everything changes when the Baja Cartel, run by Salma Hayek?s Elena, forces Ben and Chon to merge with them ? or else. The guys try to leave town with O, ditching their weed, deleting all their customers? records ? but when the Cartel kidnaps O, stealing away is no longer an option. As the two factions fight each other, the ploys grow more desperate and extreme, helped along by such baddies as DEA agent Dennis (John Travolta), head cartel henchman Lado (Benicio Del Toro) and smooth-talking attorney Alex (Demi?n Bichir). Which side deserves the term ?savages? more? It turns out it?s a toss-up, a concept that director Oliver Stone can?t help but hammer throughout.
If it?s any indication of the film?s disjointed (no pun intended) end result, Emile Hirsch?s role of the hacker/computer wizard/money man Spin is greatly reduced. Which is a problem, since he comes up with an elaborate idea to divest Elena of her properties ? but once described, we never hear about that plot point again. More telling, Uma Thurman as O?s mother Paqu (?Passive Aggressive Queen of the Universe? as she?s called by O), was edited out completely.?And Blake Lively winds up doing a lengthy opening voiceover that is oddly anti-cinematic, far more understandable from a novice filmmaker than the veteran Oliver Stone.
Further, the characters? actions don?t always jive with their personas. Such as the guys allowing O to go on a shopping spree at a public mall, even though they?ve got less than 24 hours to flee the country. Does she really need a dozen more upscale items of clothes and accessories if they?re flying off to the wilds of Indonesia? And aren?t Ben and Chon putting her in grave danger by letting her leave the house? Cartel boss Elena goes to great lengths to hide her voice and identity when she communicates with the trio onscreen ? until she doesn?t.
(l to r) Blake Lively as O, Benicio Del Toro as Lado
While the two male leads are intriguing, adeptly conveying a compelling relationship, other principals falter. Del Toro?s sadistic villain all but rolls his mustache ? wait, in one scene, he does. Lively belies her own last name, giving a performance that is the exact opposite. It?s puzzling as to why the two men would put their lives on the line for this lightly-drawn lightweight. Hirsch may have contributed a fun character, but we?ll never know.
Other than a few funny/macabre scenes with the over-the-top Travolta, the movie is often extraordinarily violent, but not particularly engaging. And the third act is nothing short of an all-out mess. Though it may not be fair to compare a film to a cable TV series, Stone gives us the messy drug scenarios akin to Weeds,?without the humor; and the grit and brutality akin to Breaking Bad, without the complexity.
Unless you?re an Oliver Stone completist, Savages, while definitely savage, is far from a must-see.

Lots of people go through new york plastic surgery for completely aesthetic factors, but you can find people who do so to look ?normal?. These individuals generally suffer from inborn deformities, or from the physical outcomes of a car accident or an ailment. Plastic surgeons may bring back both the form and function of patients? body parts through beauty or reconstructive surgical procedures.
Cosmetic surgery is the more popular term for surgical treatments that alter a person?s physical appearance, however it?s only one specialty under cosmetic surgery. It includes reconstructive surgery for deformities caused by disorders or injury. Plastic cosmetic surgery has been available since the time of the ancient Egyptians and Romans, who used related techniques to fix damaged ears or facial skin.
Nowadays, a new york plastic surgeon may provide numerous beauty processes to accommodate patients? needs. A number of the widely used procedures involve nose jobs, facelifts, liposuction, eyelid surgery, and breast surgery (reconstruction, reduction, and augmentation).
- Nose Jobs (Rhinoplasty) ? This technique may increase the visual appeal of a patient?s nose. This kind of surgical treatment has become well-known since the historic Indian doctor, Sushruta, developed the first approaches in 800 BC. Rhinoplasty may change the width of your nostrils, get rid of unattractive lumps or ridges, and correct nasal structures that induce breathing troubles.
- Facelifts (Rhytidectomy) ? This surgical procedure may be the answer when you have loose, extra, or wrinkly facial skin. It consists of tightening skin and getting rid of excessive skin or body fat to make you look younger. Regardless of being called ?facelifts?, the procedure may include tightening skin down the neck as well.
- Liposuction ? You may want to go through liposuction treatment when you have huge body fat in your stomach, upper thighs, biceps and triceps, or butt. Cosmetic surgeons may eliminate body fat through inserting a tube referred to as a cannula into the location, breaking up the oily remains, and suctioning the fat out.
- Eyelid Surgical treatment (Blepharoplasty) ? Puffy or tired-looking eyes may no longer be a dilemma when you undertake this procedure. Doctors may lessen the visual appeal of crow?s feet and dark eye circles, or increase your overall eye shape.
- Breast Surgical treatment ? Several women are born with breasts that don?t look proportional, or lose one or more breasts due to other ailments that pressured them to go through mastectomy. Different types of breast surgical treatment may recover the natural, proportional look of your bosoms. Breast enhancement necessitates the installation of implants to make your bosoms look more substantial, reduction eliminates extra fat from bosoms to make them smaller, and reconstruction rebuilds a breast from scratch.
Think things through well before determining to undergo plastic surgery in Westchester. You should meet the prerequisites before becoming an qualified prospect for significant aesthetic treatments. These prerequisites change from operation to operation, yet each one of these processes require you to be in excellent overall health. Owning specific health issues or being sick could put you at an increased risk throughout the operation. Consult your medical doctor before scheduling an appointment with a plastic surgeon of choice. This is especially important if your principal purposes for surgical procedure are solely cosmetic.
