"Oz the Great and Powerful" tops box office with $80M debut
"Oz the Great and the Powerful" clicked with moviegoers.
Disney's 3-D prequel to the classic L. Frank Baum tale "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" debuted in first place and earned $80.3 million at the weekend box office in the U.S. and Canada and $69.9 million overseas, according to studio estimates Sunday.
"Oz" tells the origin of James Franco as the wizard with Mila Kunis, Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz as the trio of witches he encounters after crashing in the mystical realm of Oz. Although it did well at the box office, critics were underwhelmed with the film.
The updated take on "Oz," which was directed by original "Spider-Man" trilogy mastermind Sam Raimi, was a gamble that looks like it will pay off for the Walt Disney Co. The film reportedly cost $200 million and opened a week after "Jack the Giant Slayer," another big-budget 3-D extravaganza that reimagines a classic tale, flopped in its opening weekend, debuting with $28 million at the box office.
"Oz" was also golden overseas. The film conjured up $69.9 million from 46 foreign markets, including Russia and the United Kingdom. "Oz" could follow in the footsteps of Disney's "Alice in Wonderland," another costly 3-D film, which opened on the same weekend in 2010 and went on to gross over $1 billion worldwide.
"'Oz' is the shot in the arm that the industry needed," said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. "We had six consecutive weekends where the box office was down. As a result, we're at a 12-and-a-half percent deficit year-to-date on box office revenues versus last year. Not a lot of movies have worked. There have been several underperformers."
In its second weekend, "Jack" stomped out second place behind "Oz" with $10 million, dropping 62 percent since its opening weekend. It earned just $4.9 million overseas. "Jack," based on the Jack and the Beanstalk fable, was directed by Bryan Singer and stars Nicholas Hoult and Ewan McGregor.
The only other new release this weekend, the FilmDistrict revenge drama "Dead Man Down" starring Colin Farrell and Noomi Rapace, opened in fourth place with $5.3 million.
Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

T-Mobile US yesterday made an offer that is seemingly too good to refuse. AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint customers can jump to the underdog "Un-carrier" and get a lower monthly bill, a phone trade-in credit of up to $300, and T-Mobile will pay off their early termination fees (ETF). T-Mobile CEO John Legere celebrated the offer by calling his competitors' offerings "horseshit."
But like anything, it's not a slam dunk for everyone. If I were to switch from Verizon Wireless to T-Mobile, for example, I'd end up paying T-Mobile $150 more than I would pay Verizon over the next two years. Here's why.
Un-carrier marketing, real carrier restrictions
It comes down largely to the fact that, as we reported yesterday, T-Mobile's promise to pay off early termination fees is contingent on customers trading in their old phones and purchasing new ones from T-Mobile. While you can still bring your own phone to T-Mobile if it's unlocked and compatible with the network, if you do, T-Mobile won't pay off your ETF.I have an iPhone 5S with 64GB of storage that I bought for $400 which (sadly enough) is the subsidized price that required me to enter a new two-year contract with Verizon Wireless. I pay Verizon $75 a month (plus $6 in taxes and fees, but I'm setting that aside to make the comparison with T-Mobile an apples-to-apples one). That gets me 250 texts, 450 minutes, and 6GB of data. The amount I actually use is much less, so it's plenty. I barely talk on my cell phone, and I've only gone over 250 texts once in nearly 10 years (due to excessive texting caused by the Red Sox romping through the World Series).
To qualify for T-Mobile's new program, I have to trade that device in. The T-Mobile website estimates that turning in my iPhone would provide $300 in credits.
In addition to that, T-Mobile would reimburse the early termination fee I'd have to pay to break my contract with Verizon. That fee is $350 minus $10 for each full month of the contract I've completed. The fee for me would be $320, but in this scenario it doesn't matter because T-Mobile will cover the charge.
Now, I need to purchase a new iPhone 5S with 64GB of storage from T-Mobile since I was required to trade in my Verizon one to get the incentives. The T-Mobile iPhone 5S will cost me $800 plus $10 for a SIM starter kit. Instead of paying that up front, T-Mobile assumes I will pay $200 now and $25 per month over the next 24 months to cover the other $600.
At this point, I am effectively paying T-Mobile $210 up front and receiving a $300 credit, so I'll actually pay nothing and have $90 in credits toward my monthly bills. Now I have to choose a monthly plan.
The cheapest option is $50 per month for "unlimited talk, text, and Web." While unlimited talk and text sounds cool, I don't talk or text enough to make that a selling point. Unlimited Web sounds great, but in reality T-Mobile throttles your speed after you pass 500MB each month.
I don't want slower service, so I would go with one of the more expensive plans. It's $60 per month for a plan that throttles speed after 2.5GB and $70 per month for one that is truly unlimited. My usage may go up over time, but as of now, I never go over 2.5GB, so I'll select the $60 per month plan.
That, in addition to the $25 I'm paying for the device each month, gives me an $85 monthly bill (plus taxes and fees). That means I'm paying T-Mobile $10 a month extra for two years, and if I left early, I would have to pay off the balance owed toward the $800 iPhone.
Over two years, the extra $10 a month is $240. I have a credit of $90, so I'm going to pay T-Mobile $150 more than I would pay Verizon over the same amount of time. The only way to save money would be to get a different, less expensive phone or accept slower speeds after 500MB each month.
It would actually be cheaper for me to pay the Verizon early termination fee myself and bring my phone to T-Mobile. The Verizon iPhone 5S is unlocked out of the box, and customer reports suggest I could use it on T-Mobile's network. Assuming that's the case, I'd pay a breakup fee of $320 to Verizon and pay T-Mobile $60 a month, $15 less than what I'm spending today. It would take a little more than 21 months to break even.
I would make out better on T-Mobile's ETF-reimbursement offer if I was satisfied with a 16GB phone. Trading in a 16GB iPhone 5S would give me a $295 credit instead of $300. A new 16GB iPhone 5S from T-Mobile costs $600, paid off with no money down and $25 a month for two years. If I did that, I'd save $55 over two years by switching to T-Mobile, about $2.30 per month.
This was all hypothetical—I'm not going to switch. Verizon has its annoyances, but the cellular coverage has always been spectacular for me. I wouldn't risk going to a different carrier unless I got real savings and was certain the service would be nearly as good.
None of this answers the question of whether you would benefit from switching to T-Mobile. For one thing, my monthly bill may be lower than those of other Verizon customers because I'm holding on to an ancient plan from before the iPhone and Android even existed. My 6GB of data is better than normal too. I used to get just 2GB, but Verizon helpfully tripled my monthly allotment after iTunes Match malfunctioned and ate up a ton of my cellular data when it wasn't supposed to.
Other Verizon customers have it worse. Business Insider reporter Steve Kovach writes that he pays Verizon $110 per month for 2GB of data and unlimited calling and texting. He's switching to T-Mobile.
Still, my own situation probably isn't that unique. Ars Senior Reviews Editor Lee Hutchinson, an AT&T customer with a family plan for him and his wife, did the math. He found that if he really wanted to switch to T-Mobile, the best course would be to eat the ETF himself.
The $75 pricing I have is no longer available to new Verizon customers. The closest current offering comes from Sprint, whose website shows an offer of unlimited talk, text, and data to new customers for $80 a month. A new smartphone plan from Verizon with unlimited talk, text, and 2GB of data costs $100 a month for new customers.
Why isn't this easier? Oh right, money.
The nagging question behind all this is: why can't you just bring your own phone to T-Mobile and get the deal they so enthusiastically announced yesterday? We asked T-Mobile PR and found that, while the company calls itself the "Un-carrier," it uses pretty much the same marketing speak as all of the non-Un-carriers.
When we asked why customers can't qualify for this deal if they bring their own phone, T-Mobile PR responded, "A big reason customers want out of contracts is to get a new phone. Customers can upgrade to one of the latest devices, get initial credit to help offset startup costs like down payment, insurance, device taxes, or accessories."
That doesn't answer the question, but T-Mobile got closer to the truth when it told us, "When customers trade in their device, it is really a win-win for both the customer and T-Mobile. A device trade-in provides consumers some initial credit to help with new device purchase or startup costs like down payment, device taxes, or accessories. For T-Mobile, we still see value in the devices consumers no longer want."
In all likelihood, T-Mobile is reselling those phones so it can make a profit despite paying off those early termination fees. There's nothing wrong with that—it's just good business sense. But it means T-Mobile's newest gambit won't attract the bring-your-own-device customers that typically love T-Mobile.
And while T-Mobile offers this deal without breaking its pledge to eliminate service contracts, it effectively saddles new customers with an early termination fee if they decide to leave T-Mobile before two years. "If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on phone becomes due," T-Mobile will tell you when you buy a phone.
Overall, T-Mobile's offer is a good thing for a market where many consumers feel trapped with a carrier they don't like. While I wouldn't benefit, other people surely will. Just make sure to do the math before switching.

Australian men are up in arms over airline policies that prevent male passengers from sitting in the seat next to unaccompanied minors.
A male nurse, Daniel McCluskie, 31, said last week he was humiliated after Qantas made him switch seats with a woman to get him away from a 10-year-old girl, The Age reports.
"After the plane had taken off, the air hostess thanked the woman that had moved but not me, which kind of hurt me or pissed me off a bit more because it appeared I was in the wrong, because it seemed I had this sign I couldn't see above my head that said 'child molester' or 'kiddie fiddler' whereas she did the gracious thing and moved to protect the greater good of the child."
A similar incident occurred at Virgin Australia, where fireman Johnny McGirr, 33, sitting next to two boys, ages 8 and 10, was forced to move as part of company policy, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
"[The attitude of the airline] is 'we respect you but as soon as you board a Virgin airline you are a potential pedophile', and that strips away all the good that any male does regardless of his standing in society, his profession or his moral attitudes," he said.
Virgin Australia has announced it was rethinking its policy. British Airways changed a similar policy in 2010 after a lawsuit, agreeing to seat unaccompanied minors in a "safe but non-discriminatory manner."
In the U.S., there are no regulations governing the seating of unaccompanied minors, and no evidence could be found that airlines have similar policies. In 2009, a woman reported that her 13-year-old daughter was molested by an Ugandan man while traveling alone to Oakland from Philadelphia on a United Airlines flight, and later filed suit against the man and the airline, SF Weekly reported.
What policies do you think airlines should have?

- AJ Styles ended up winning TNA's Bound for Glory Series and will face Bully Ray for the TNA World Heavyweight Title at next month's Bound for Glory pay-per-view.
- As seen on last night's Impact Wrestling episode, it appeared they wrote Mr. Anderson off TV after a beatdown from Bully Ray. Anderson's contract reportedly expires this month so he may be gone from the company. TNA posted this update on Anderson:
"On Thursday at the No Surrender IMPACT special, Aces and Eights President Bully Ray successfully defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Mr. Anderson in a violent and chaotic bout. Anderson refused to give up and took a major beating from Bully Ray. Bully Ray battered and bloodied Anderson, eventually putting him through a table and winning the bout via countout. Bully Ray continued the assault after the match, dumping Anderson off a medical stretcher on the entrance ramp and annihilating him with a piledriver on the steel structure.
"ImpactWrestling.com has learned that in addition to several lacerations to his head and body, Anderson suffered a possible concussion and was being examined for damage to his neck from the piledriver. Anderson will be evaluated tonight by doctors at a local St. Louis hospital, and we hope to have an update on his condition on Friday."

And up next, a beautiful SCRABBLE TEA TIME PARTY submitted by Kendall Burley of Cherry Kissed Events! What a terrific way to get together with your girlfriends!
Party details from Kendall- "Nicole and I had a chance to do a great photo shoot inspired by a garden tea theme. We have been planning a Tea Time photo shoot for some time now and finally got to put all our items and ideas together with some great vendors. And we had a lot of fun too!
First, we decided to use purples, golds, pinks, and greens as the main colors for the day.
Next, we decided what items we really wanted to include in our shoot. Such as using our DIY frames that we had worked on, bunting, a cute cake, and fun details like a pop of color on each plate by using a pear.
We used our favorite florist, Bonnie, from Florals by Flory in Roseville, Ca.
She did a great job using bright wildflowers and incorporating them with the DIY tea tins and the DIY laced wine bottles that we made.
We used our sweet friend, Tamsin, from the Sweet Bambino in Roseville. Tamsin makes great baby clothes and other fun items and she made us the cutest bunting. The bunting was made with burlap and felt and she added some cute flowers as a fun detail.
We met with Sweet Cakes by Rebecca in Citrus Heights and showed them the type of cake we wanted and they did an awesome job making us exactly what we wanted, and it tasted great too! We highly recommend them!
We had the chance to use our dear friend, Marci's, new business, Sacramento Vintage Crockery Rentals. She had some unique and original tea time items that really made our shoot look awesome. You need to check out her amazing selection.
We also had photos taken by our friend, Kiem, from Kiem Nyugen Photography. He is always so helpful and works quickly, getting our pictures to us quickly. He is a must for every party!"

With its dual pickups and master volume and tone controls, this Epiphone Les Paul Special deviates from Gibson's classic 4-knob configuration, but the Epi's P-90 pickups, wraparound tailpiece,
and TV yellow finish pay homage to the original model.
I'm one of those guys who believe that modern polyurethane finishes suck the sound right out of guitars. A few months ago I was intrigued by this Epiphone Les Paul Special on eBay with what was called a "faded TV yellow" finish. It just looked very cool for its price range. The guitar sported a bolt-on neck, two P-90 pickups, and a wraparound tailpiece. I won the auction for just $106 ($86 + $20 shipping). Now that's Bottom Feeder territory!
However, when I received it a week later, it had been heavily damaged in shipping due to a terrible packing job by the seller. Bummer! The neck was just flopping around when I unpacked it. Apparently, the bolt-on neck had separated from the body, stripping out the screw holes on the back of the neck in the process. I immediately emailed the seller, but he was out of town for a week and unable to respond.
After thinking about it for an hour, I decided to take a whack at fixing the guitar myself. What the hell, I figured, it was a cheap guitar and I had nothing to lose. Besides, nothing was broken or cracked, just a few stripped screw holes. So I grabbed some wooden toothpicks and wood glue and went to work.
Here's an old trick I learned from Hipshot owner Dave Borisoff for fixing stripped-out screw holes: First, put a small dab of wood glue on the entire length of a wooden toothpick, and then poke it into the screw hole and break or snip off the toothpick just below the top of the hole. Because the neck screw holes were rather large, I had to use three or four toothpicks per hole so that each screw had plenty of new wood to grab onto. When I had finished all four holes, and with the glue still wet, I put the neck back on and carefully tightened the four neck screws until each had a tight fit.
This Epi Les Paul Special has a bolt-on neck—a significant departure from Gibson's design.
Then I strung it up with a set of .010s and adjusted the truss rod and bridge. The moment of truth had arrived. It played and sounded absolutely great! I felt very lucky on this one.
Bottom Feeder Tip #2278: Always keep plenty of wooden toothpicks and wood glue handy for the stripped-out screw holes you may encounter for pickguards, tuners, bridges, necks, etc.
A week later the seller got back in touch, apologized, and then refunded me $25 via PayPal for my trouble. The total cost of the guitar was now $81.
So was it worth the effort? Absolutely! And I tell you this: I'll put this guitar up against any Les Paul under $600. The faded yellow satin finish really allows the guitar to breathe and ring out. The P-90 pickups may be cheap, but they sound pretty darn good to my ears. The neck is perfect for bluesy string bending, the intonation is good, and it weighs only 5.5 pounds. It's an amazing guitar for $81. This Epiphone is definitely a keeper for now, because it's just too much fun to play.

You may have heard of the USRobotics Dual-Purpose Skype phone that lets you use Skype and your normal landline all from a single handset. It's similar to the Linksys CIT300 Dual-Mode Skype phone we reviewed a while back.
To get the feature list out of the way, it uses DECT 6.0, which operates on a wireless frequency that doesn't interfere with WiFi and Bluetooth. It also supports four handsets (I only had one), has a 150 foot indoor and 900 foot outdoor range, speakerphone, caller ID, Skype phonebook, and Windows 2000/XP support.
How do I like it? Only one way to find out.
The short answer is, I really enjoy it. The phone is very easy to use, and though some would dock points off the old-school LCD screen, I give it points for its large text that makes it easy for slightly older users to read. Which ties into the other think I like about it, that it's easy enough for your parents to use. Let me explain.
Setting up the phone just consists of installing the included software onto your PC to interface with your Skype install, plugging in the USB base unit, and charging up the handset. The handset and base unit detect each other automatically so there's no setup. Then, you can plug in a landline phone to your base unit to get analog calls as well. Once everything's set up (less than 10 minutes), you can make and receive calls on both Skype and your landline from one receiver—very useful.
The call quality was pretty great on our setup, and although there was a little static, we couldn't figure out whether it was due to our PCs, or the phone, or the Skype network. As opposed to the WiFi Skype phones like the Belkin or Netgear models, all the Skype processing is done on your PC. There's tons more processing power there, so as a result the call quality and battery life both go up. The only downside is that you can't take this phone anywhere you go, but it's good for an office or home phone.
So besides the call quality being great and the screen easy to read, we also liked the one-touch Skype contact list button. The buttons are large and give great feedback, and the handset is large enough to not feel uncomfortable in your hand, something we noticed with a few other phones. All in all, the $120 price tag and feature set on this phone makes it a great deal if you're looking for a Skype phone that also does analog calling.

"O my Lord"
O my Lord!
Do not let me fool success
Or failure takes into despair.
Remind me constantly,
That the failure of temptation,
Prior success.
O my Lord!
Teach me that TOLERANCE,
Is the highest degree of power
A desire for revenge
The first sign of weakness
O my Lord!
If you take my property
Leave me hope,
If you give me success,
Give me the will,
To overcome defeat
If you take my benefits of health,
Give me the grace of FAITH.
O my Lord!
When I offend the people,
Give me the power of apology,
And when the people offend me,
Give me the power of forgiveness.
O my Lord!
If I forget thee,
Do not you forget about me.
Say, "Are those who know equal to those who do not know?" [Qur'an]
Seeking Knowledge is the first instance duty of every Muslim. [Hadith]
When a man dies, his acts come to an end, except in three cases: an ongoing charity, a righteous child who prays for him, and knowledge from which people continue to benefit. [Hadith]
The knowledge is your lost thing, wherever you find it, take it. [Hadith]

Produced in collaboration by MORE Productions and WeatherVane Productions, AMELIA 2.0 is a futuristic, female suspense film that captures Carter Summerland's extreme grief after his wife suffers from a sudden aneurysm.
As Carter watches his wife slowly die, he becomes desperate when he agrees to an experimental program that specializes in modern day technology that can control and extend human life through robotics.
But, when Wesley Enterprises implants Amelia's decaying mind into a new body, she awakes to face the public debate over human's relationship with technology. As she continues her internal battle with her human past and her seemingly robotic future, she can't help but wonder what characteristics define humanity.
The film stars well-known actors, such as Chris Ellis ("The Dark Knight Rises", "Apollo 13"), Debra Wilson ("Avatar"), Eddie Jemison ("Oceans 11,13", "War Dogs") and Kate Vernon ("Malcolm X", "The Last Song", "Pretty in Pink").
Guests will get an exclusive Q&A with director Adam Orton, and actor, Ed Begley, Jr. The prominent Hollywood actor, famous for "Ghostbusters" and "Pineapple Express", will explore AMELIA 2.0 and its sci-fi world, with additional information about the film world.

Chill out AND look cool with one of Art Promos' fun and funky promotional mini fans. Our custom electronic pocket fans really do fit in your pocket (although we suggest you only keep them there when they're turned off!). Plus, you'll also find a selection of imprintable hand-held manual fans. Both styles provide great chill on a hot day and excellent exposure for your business or brand.
Customized fans, whether manual or electric, are ideal promos for events where hot weather or excessive heat may be present. This includes both indoor and outdoor events. In fact, Art Promos recommends manual customized hand held fans for indoor events. Heat gets generated where large crowds are present, and these fun yet practical fans can be handed out to participants or audience members as a means of beating the heat without the need for batteries and without generating extra noise.
When it comes to outdoor events on a hot summer day, nothing beats one of our cool little promotional electronic pocket fans. They're just like a standard size fan, but small enough to fit in your hand. Powered by batteries, they generate just enough wind for one, providing a little breeze when the weather is sweltering. Not only do they make excellent giveaways, they also make a powerful revenue-generator during outdoor events.

Playboy has been slapped with a fine for allegedly making it too easy for children to access pornographic material on its Web sites.
Ofcom, the U.K.'s communications regulator and competition authority, announced yesterday that it has fined Playboy 100,000 British pounds ($160,200) for failing to include "acceptable controls" ensuring a person viewing pornographic material on Playboy TV and Demand Adult was at least 18 years old.
Ofcom charged Playboy with "failing to protect children from potentially harmful pornographic material," adding that the failure was "serious, repeated, and reckless."
Playboy did have age restrictions in place on Demand Adult and Playboy TV. In the first case, Demand Adult asked that users click a button labeled "Enter I am over 18" before being able to view hardcore material. Upon paying with a debit card, they could access more material. With Playboy TV, users were asked to "self-certify their age," according to Ofcom.
Despite those measures, Ofcom argues that the controls are not "effective age verification systems."
Ofcom didn't say what would constitute an "effective" verification system. However, the organization pointed to Rule 11 of the Authority for Television On Demand rules:
If an on-demand programme service contains material which might seriously impair the physical, mental or moral development of persons under the age of eighteen, the material must be made available in a manner which secures that such persons will not normally see or hear it.
"The business subject to fine was part of the Manwin sale transaction completed in late 2011," a Playboy spokesperson told CNET in an e-mailed statement. "Accordingly, Playboy cannot speak to the application of the regulations to the websites at issue."

Wild Horse Photos
by Frank Staub
Imagine a herd of wild horses, kicking up dust as they thunder across an open plain. It's a classic symbol of the old American West. And it's a scene we can enjoy today. Wild horses still run free on public lands in many western states. Some also wander freely on private sanctuaries set aside for their protection.
On the east coast, wild horses roam the beaches, marshes, and forests on several barrier islands. Most of these seashore horses are short enough to be called ponies. A small population of wild ponies also lives on Mount Rogers, Virginia.
In addition, wild burros or donkeys survive in the deserts of Arizona, California, and Nevada, as well as on the dry grasslands of Custer State Park, South Dakota.

Marc Lavry (1903-1967) was a most prolific composer who belonged to an exclusive group of artists who formulated what is known today as Israeli music.His legacy consists of a remarkable number of works – over 400 musical works, many of which have yet to be published and exist in manuscript form only. Lavry wrote a wide variety of compositions from grand operas and symphonies to chamber music and popular songs.
Lavry immigrated to Israel in 1935 and immediately became enchanted with the country – its landscape, the language and life in the nascent state. He was inspired by its history, poetry and heritage, and many of his compositions were driven by events of the time. When Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion relocated to the desert, Lavry wrote the symphonic poem Negev. To commemorate the independence war of Israel he composed the symphony Independence Symphony. He wrote the song Shir Ha-Emek that describes the Jezreel valley, Kineret to celebrate the Sea of Galilee, composed the song Hahovesh (medic) inspired by a heroic rescue story, and created the first marching song of the Israeli Defense Forces. A man larger than politics, he wrote Lebanon's first anthem.
Marc Lavry is considered by many to be a master of instrumental and choral orchestration and is regarded by musicologists and music connoisseurs as one of the most important composers of the first half of the 20th century.

after we are saved and salvation is already in us, it shall now be worked out until it becomes visible in our soul (emotions, thoughts and will), body and lifestyleSalvation in us brings healing to both our wounded soul and our body, as well as transforms our lifestyle and makes our eyes shine. However, even this is not possible with self-effort and our works. That is why in the New King James Bible there is no final end at the end of Philippians 2:12. Rather, the Bible shows that the sentence is not finished, and it continues in verse 13: "for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." Salvation has been put in us, and now God is at work in us to make it become visible for everyone around us, even for ourselves.
Let's look at what the new covenant says about forgiveness:
"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)
"bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do." (Colossians 3:13)
Here we can see that forgiveness is still important, but the order has changed! God has forgiven us first, and that enables us to now forgive others.
God has forgiven us first, and that enables us to now forgive others.Make no mistake, forgiveness is very important, even in order for us to set ourselves free and to allow God's healing to completely restore us. And this will often be a process. You see, there are some people who have not forgiven others, but there are also many people who have not forgiven themselves for what they have done wrong! And it may eat them up on the inside. How relieving it is to know that God has already forgiven us first! As we understand more of this truth, it becomes easier for us to forgive others and even forgive ourselves.

What you need to know before you go
Italy has been at the heart of history for millennia but has grown into a country that blends the ancient and the modern. Florence's skyline brims with Renaissance monuments, Venice is a lagoon city that can spark romance in even the most lagging relationships, Milan is a world fashion capital and Bologna is a food lover's paradise. Italy's splendid natural landscapes span from the beautiful Alps to picture-postcard towns set against dramatic cliffs along the Adriatic and Tyrrhenian coasts. At the centre of it all, Rome is one of the must-see capitals of the world for its pristine historical monuments, passionate locals, and so many more reasons.
Italy is more than its landscape, though. It's a place of astounding culture, from its grand operas to its world-famous cuisine. It continues to leave its mark in the worlds of arts, design, and fashion. Cherished by its warm and passionate people, Italy welcomes you to experience its rare beauty.
Top destinations in ItalyWhere will you go next?
At times, Rome feels like the world's biggest open-air museum. Its jaw-dropping historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to ancient architectural icons like the impressively intact Colosseum and the resplendent Roman Forum. Then of course there's St Peter's Basilica, the world's largest church and a preeminent masterpiece of Italian Renaissance architecture.
But the ostentatious Italian capital is in no way stuck in the past. On the contrary, it's a cosmopolitan modern metropolis, with edgy contemporary galleries, eclectic nightlife and a trailblazing fashion scene. Of course, it's also a gourmand's paradise, where you can feast on crispy wood-fired pizzas and creamy homemade gelato to your heart's content.Read more

"THE ARTIST" My rating: B (Opening Dec. 23 at the Glenwood Arts and AMC Town Center)
100 minutes | MPAA rating: PG-13
When everyone from the coastal heavy hitters to the Joe Blow bloggers declare a movie a masterpiece, you're probably smart to take it with a grain of salt.
So it is with "The Artist."
French filmmaker Michael Hazanavicius' daring update on silent movies is wildly creative, often quite funny, extremely well acted and peppered with philosophical implications.
It's also a bit too familiar, being basically yet one more variation on "A Star Is Born."
Here silent film matinee idol George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) sees his career hit the skids even as vivacious newcomer Peppy Miller (Berenice Bejo, the director's wife) becomes a new audience favorite thanks to her embrace of the newfangled sound technology. (more…)

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces in the spine where the spinal cord and nerve roots transverse. The narrowing of these passageways results in pressure on the spinal cord and/or nerve roots that exit the spine creating pain, numbness, tingling and weakness. The spinal passageways can be further closed off due to inflammation that arises after these tissues become irritated. Central stenosis is narrowing of the central cannal where the spinal cord travels. Lateral stenosis is the narrowing of the openings between vertebrae where the nerve roots exit the spine.
For central stenosis, backbends can close off the spinal canal and must be approached with caution, backing off if symptoms are reproduced. Forward bends open the canal diameter and will help to reduce symptoms. For lateral stenosis, side bending and twisting away from the painful side will open up the spaces between the vertebrae to reduce pressure on the nerve roots and alleviate symptoms. For both types of stenosis, practice inversions to reduce inflammation and use poses that emphasize good posture and lengthen the spine.

Alzheimer's drug shows promise in early trial
(HealthDay News) -- Researchers say an investigational drug helped improve memory, language, attention and other mental skills in people with early Alzheimer's disease.
The study was funded by EnVivo Pharmaceuticals, which is developing the drug, dubbed EVP-6124. The results are to be presented Wednesday at the annual meeting of the Alzheimer's Association in Vancouver.
The study involved 409 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease who were either being treated with the drugs donepezil (Aricept) or rivastigmine (Exelon) or were receiving no treatment.
During the six-month, phase 2 trial, patients took either a placebo or one of three different doses of EVP-6124.
After 23 weeks of treatment, the patients in the high-dose group showed statistically significant benefits on tests of mental function compared to those taking the dummy pill. Some patients in the medium- and high-dose groups did experience mild to moderate gastrointestinal side effects, the team added.
"In our study, EVP-6124 provided significant benefits for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's whether they were on currently approved therapy or not," Dr. Dana Hilt, senior vice president of clinical development and chief medical officer of EnVivo, said in an Alzheimer's Association news release.
The authors explain that EVP-6124 belongs to a family of drugs called alpha-7 nicotinic agonists, which amplify the effects of acetylcholine, a brain chemical that's essential for normal brain and memory function. People with Alzheimer's disease have greatly reduced levels of acetylcholine.
Currently, there are no effective treatments to fight Alzheimer's disease, although certain drugs may temporarily ameliorate symptoms.
For that reason, the new study "is potentially interesting, as there is a need for better symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease," said Peter Davies, director of the Litwin Zucker Research Center for the Study of Alzheimer's Disease at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
He pointed out that the mechanism behind the new drug is not altogether novel. "Treating the deficiency of acetylcholine is the basis for the already approved drugs Aricept, Exelon and Razodyne," Davies said. "This drug does the same thing, but in a different way. The other drugs act to reduce the breakdown of acetylcholine: this drug mimics the effect of acetylcholine at one of the receptors for this compound."
He said that there are hints that this approach might do more than just ease symptoms, and might attack the underlying illness. But that remains speculative and "further studies do seem to be warranted," Davies said.
Another expert agreed.
"These promising effects are 'symptomatic' (the drug does not slow progression of disease), and the study is relatively small in size," noted Stephen Ferris, director of the Alzheimer's Disease Center and the clinical trials program at NYU Langone Medical Center's Comprehensive Center on Brain Aging in New York City.
Like Davies, Ferris stressed that "if the results can be confirmed in a larger trial, the drug would be an important addition to current Alzheimer treatments."
Findings presented at medical meeting are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Making a mistake with your checking account can cost you a lot of money these days.
A survey of banks in 25 large American cities by Bankrate.com, an online financial information service, found that the average fee for a bounced check has hit a record $27.40, up from $27.04 in the previous survey last spring.
At the same time, the average surcharge at automated teller machines, or ATMs, has jumped to an all-time high of $1.64 from $1.60 in the spring and $1.54 a year ago, the study indicated.
"What makes these fees especially irritating is that they're avoidable," said Greg McBride, senior financial analyst with Bankrate.com. "It's something that pops up and bites you when you're not careful."
Consumers can avoid bouncing checks by remembering to track the use of their debit cards, which generally are linked to checking accounts, and by keeping their checkbooks balanced, he said.
And ATM surcharges can be avoided if consumers plan ahead and get cash from their own bank's machines and not those of other institutions.
"What the study indicates and that when you use somebody else's ATM, you have to pay dearly for the privilege," McBride said.
The biannual survey by Bankrate.com, which is based in North Palm Beach, Fla., also looked at interest and non-interest checking accounts offered at nearly 250 financial institutions.
When it comes to checking accounts, the bottom line is that those that pay interest generally require higher initial deposits and higher minimum balances than those that don't pay interest, McBride said.
But the interest that most pay — averaging just 0.34 percent — "is so dreadfully low it's not worth it," he said.
"By settling for average interest earnings of 0.34 percent instead of the 5 percent returns available in a savings or money market account, the consumer forfeits more than $100 per year in interest earnings on a $2,500 balance," Bankrate.com pointed out.
The study found that for interest-paying checking accounts, the minimum opening deposit rose to about $615 in the latest survey from about $430 in the spring — a 43 percent jump. The minimum balance that must be maintained to avoid fees was $2,660, it said.
Meanwhile, checking accounts that don't pay interest required opening deposits averaging about $88 and minimum balances to avoid fees of about $210.
"More than 60 percent of non-interest accounts have no balance requirement or monthly service fees," McBride said. "That's what you want in a checking account — not a token amount of interest earnings."
The average monthly service fee for interest-bearing accounts was $10.74, while the average fee for non-interest accounts was $2.50, the study showed. Both were down from the spring survey.
"People should look at these service fees because they can really add up over the course of a year," McBride said.

That's actually a good point. Planners/architects everywhere seem to have a very hard time producing vibrant master planned communities.
But yea, a boutique office building should not have much...
I think white brick buildings often have pretty interesting massing, just as long as they don't take up an entire block-front.

Yawn. Quite a downgrade. At this point, the tower would be be better without a sign.

- Steam 1 bag frozen peas and 1 box frozen broccoli florets.
- Blend well in a food processor or an immersion blender. Set aside.
- In a pot add 1/2 stick butter, 1 chopped onion.

'Anna Karenina,' Rushing Headlong Toward Her Train
After he'd finished reading Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, did director Joe Wright scribble on the last page, "Needs more pep?"
Wright is, after all, the man who put the cute little ampersand in Pride & Prejudice and gave us a giggly Lizzie Bennet rendered by Keira Knightley. Knightley is back again in the title role as the Russian chick who loves and loses and throws herself under a train.
Casting the British actress, whose last memorable performance was in Bend It Like Beckham and who appears topless on the cover of the current Allure magazine, may have brought roses to the cheeks of the folks in marketing. But it creates a crippling problem with regard to gravitas, of which more anon.
Meantime, welcome to Joe Wright's Anna Karenina: The Musical. No one actually sings, but from the proscenium-arch opening on the adulterer Oblonsky (Matthew Macfadyen) scurrying down a well-upholstered hallway in search of fun, to its final shots of noble peasants rhythmically scything, the movie sets out to deliver Broadway dazzle.
There are dances, there are races, there are freeze-frame tableaux vivants in the manner of My Fair Lady. There is heaving between the sheets, followed by wringing of hands and rueing of the day.
And for a while at least, why not have a ball? Tolstoy gave good ballroom, too, and for all his reputation as the ultimate realist writer, he deployed an array of literary strategies in Anna Karenina — including a section written from the point of view of a dog. But his prose wasn't forever blaring, "Look, Ma, no hands!"
And given that Anna's adventures in extramarital romance famously end in tears, there are (or should be) limits to how long you can sustain the jaunty tone; Wright keeps at it, alas, until it's too late for tragedy, even considering the endlessly foreshadowing grind of giant train wheels presumably meant to remind us that this is not a caper.
The best that can be said of Knightley is that she's puppy-eyed eye candy, in vibrant reds and blacks with fur trims to die for. But that's window dressing, and under her glossy surface, Anna Karenina is a woman of many passionately conflicting parts — reluctant temptress, ardent lover, loving mother, an urban sophisticate who's also deeply insecure and hungry for approval. She's a modern woman way before her time.
All of which Knightley mangles into her customary rotation of pouty-lipped sex kitten, hysteric, and tragic victim of society, each pose separated by little gasps of surprise. Inner life comes hard to Knightley, and she never gets a grip on the mounting emotional turmoil that threatens to crush Anna as she progresses from stylish young hipster-about-town to kept woman to bereft mother to paranoid social pariah.
It doesn't help that her paramour, Count Vronsky, is played by a vapid Aaron Taylor-Johnson in bottle-blond hair and sparkly teeth. Or that Knightley is flanked by three actresses — Kelly MacDonald as her frumpy but admiring sister-in-law (allegedly modeled on Tolstoy's long-suffering wife), Olivia Williams as Vronsky's mother, and Emily Watson as a prim paragon — any of whom who would have done full justice to Anna's long slide into despair.
Still, there are things here to treasure, among them the inspired bit of casting mischief that has bad boy Jude Law as Anna's husband, Karenin, a stuffy, old-school bureaucrat untenably stuck between forgiveness and revenge for his wife's betrayal. No winking at the audience here: Law commits fully to the role and to Tom Stoppard's often brilliantly pithy screenplay.
It's Law's earnest Karenin who articulates the novel's deeper moral dilemmas, to the tortured nature that traps Anna (and Tolstoy) between the old, rigidly rule-bound world and an emerging new one that's bringing divorce, uppity women and moral uncertainty with it. "I'd call on her if she'd only broken the law, but she broke the rules," whispers one imperial matron after giving a desperate Anna the cold shoulder.
Small wonder that the most successful love story in this Karenina is between the landowner Levin (Domnhall Gleeson) and Kitty (Alicia Vikander), a flighty young thing who, having gotten over her own crush on Vronsky, steps up to become a sterling country wife. Re-enter peasants, rhythmically scything.

RSBS Readers Do Some Good, Make a Difference
Celebrate, dear readers! You did something good. Actually, not just good… FANTASTIC!
Remember back in March when we did our St. Patrick's Day campaign? By participating the way you did, you helped raise $750 that we donated to the Chicago Bulls College Prep School athletic department to be used specifically towards purchasing equipment for the school's baseball team.
Athletic Director Steve Silva and baseball coach Roberto Rosado were very gracious for your efforts and wanted Mr. Krause and I to share with you just how appreciative they are. Coach Rosado even took the time to answer a few questions…
– – –
Mr. Lung: Please give us a brief synopsis of your school's current baseball program. What level is the level of competition? Any accolades of note? How many active participants?
Coach Rosado: I just want to say thank you for this contribution to our program. A brief overview of the program is as follows: we, Chicago Bulls College Prep, started playing baseball during the 2010 season. So we have been in existence only three years now. In that time we have appeared in back-to-back conference championship games. Unfortunately we lost both games. As far as participants, we have two teams. We have a junior varsity and a varsity team. On the JV team we had 18 players and on the varsity we had 16 players.
Mr. Lung: Your school's mission statement is to "prepare students for college graduation and purposeful citizenship by exhibiting ambitious scholarship, self-discipline, honorable character, and a fit lifestyle." How does your baseball program help promote this statement?
Coach Rosado: We want to promote the development of good, honorable young men by playing well and respecting our opponents and the game. The majority of our players have GPAs that average from 3.0 to 3.6 and we also have a few student athletes with a 4.0 GPA.
Mr. Lung: What sort of unique challenges do inner city baseball programs face today?
Coach Rosado: There just are not enough decent baseball diamonds for all of the high schools in the inner city.
Mr. Lung: Do you have any initial ideas of how you might like to use the $750 donation to better your baseball program? To purchase equipment? Uniforms? Field maintenance?
Coach Rosado: Yes, we, as a baseball program need a batting cage. Since we do not have a practice field behind our school, like a lot of the suburban teams, we must get an indoor batting cage to compete at the highest level.
Mr. Lung: Lastly, if there is anything you would like us and our readers to know about your baseball program — a specific story or standout individual or anything like that — please let us know. We want to help promote baseball for our city's youth and are eager to spread any good news your team and its players might have to share.
Coach Rosado: In our first year, 2010, we started our program with only 11 players and our record was 4 – 9. We lost in the 1st round of the playoffs. The following year (2011) we had 24 players and a record of 20 – 4. We lost in the conference championship game. Due to all of the hard work and dedication put forth by our players, we have had much success in a short amount of time.
– – –
While Mr. Krause told me he hoped to see RSBS emblazoned jerseys on city fields in the Chi, I think we can both agree that Coach Rosado and the Chicago Bulls Prep baseball team will find a good use for your hard earned dollars. With limited resources, they've already made the championship game two years in a row! Here's to wishing them the very best in the future as they aim to take the title!

Mixed media artist Travis Bedel, also known as bedelgeuse, seamlessly blends vintage anatomical illustrations with botanical or other biological images to create stunning collages that range anywhere from 5 inches to 6 feet in size. Bedel often uses glue and a razorblade to excise printed vintage illustrations, combining them into beautiful and surreal new iterations. He'll also scan his images and manipulate them digitally because this technique provides him with more opportunity to play around with sizing, cutting, and pasting the various elements in his collages.
Of his interest in human anatomy, Bedel says, "I find the body beautiful and mysterious. I am amazed and what people can do with their bodies and how if you take care of your own body, the rewards are much greater than imagined. I believe a lot of self-healing takes place mentally and physically when you eat clean and stay active."
Prints are available for purchase via Society 6 or Etsy. You can also follow him on Instagram. (via the micro giant)

Sonography is an effective tool in the evaluation and management of shoulder problems. The utility of shoulder sonography extends across the entire spectrum of shoulder pathology; although most soft tissue structures can be visualised using appropriate techniques, consistent and reliable recognition of pathology requires a reasonable level of skill and experience. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers an operator-independent and reliable alternative to sonography; however, sonography provides a low-cost office-based imaging method, and both static and dynamic techniques can be performed and interpreted instantly. A concise description of the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of shoulder ultrasonography, as performed by the authors, is presented here.
