AT&T Looking Again at Dish? (T, DISH, DTEGY, VZ, VOD, CMCSA, TWC, PCS, LEAP, S)
January 17, 2012 by Paul AusickWill AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) finally make an offer for Dish Network Corp. (NASDAQ: DISH) now that the merger with the T-Mobile USA unit of Deutsche Telekom AG (OTC: DTEGY) has fallen off the table? There has been talk of such a deal for a long time, but it's been all talk and no action. That could change now that AT&T is in serious need of new wireless spectrum to handle the growing volume of data traffic on its network.
Verizon Wireless, the joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) and Vodafone Group plc (NASDAQ: VOD), did not just sit on its hands while AT&T tried to push through the T-Mobile deal. The company paid $3.6 billion for unused spectrum owned by SpectrumCo, a consortium of Comcast Corp. (NASDAQ: CMCSA), Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE: TWC), and Bright House Networks.
Other potential AT&T acquisitions include MetroPCS Communications Inc. (NYSE: PCS), Leap Wireless International Inc. (NASDAQ: LEAP), and even Sprint Nextel Corp. (NYSE: S). But none would be as good as a deal for Dish.
AT&T's main problem is that it would have to pay a premium price for Dish — perhaps as much as $50/share, or about 70% above today's share price. That would value Dish at around $22 billion, a steep price given that AT&T just paid out $4 billion to T-Mobile in break-up fees. Even Ma Bell can't afford to pay that kind of money too often for nothing in return, and it's a sure bet that Dish would want a substantial break-up fee as part of any deal.
A report at Bloomberg News notes that Verizon Wireless owns 56 percent more 4G spectrum than AT&T in the top 10 markets and 46 percent more in the top 100. Verizon Wireless also claims 107.7 million subscribers compared with AT&T's 100.7 million. Had AT&T been able to acquire T-Mobile, it would have increased its spectrum by 62%, leveling the playing field.
Dish recently acquired wireless spectrum from two bankrupt satellite television companies for about $2.8 billion in a deal that is still awaiting FCC approval. Verizon's deal with SpectrumCo also needs regulatory approval, and so far there is no indication that either approval is in trouble.
But what does AT&T want with a satellite TV business? Of course it could hive it off once the deal is done, but it might make more sense to go after MetroPCS or Leap, both of which are simply wireless carriers. Or AT&T might be able to get Dish to sell just the spectrum. That would not be the best deal for Dish shareholders, but the company's management would certainly be able to retire following such a transaction.
Dish shares are trading up more than 2% today at $29.34 in a 52-week range of $20.85-$32.56. Shares of AT&T are up almost 1% at $30.30 in a 52-week range of $27.20-$31.94.
One issue to consider… Dish would have every right in the world to demand another massive deal break-up fee in case the telecom giant could not convince regulators that this is good for consumers.

Child welfare cut in budget flagged
A €10 cut to child benefit is expected to be announced in the upcoming budget. Some 600,000 households receive the universal rate which will fall from €140 to €130 in a measure that is expected to save the State €138 million in a full year and is likely to be the biggest single cut in social protection.
The Cabinet has been meeting this week to discuss next Wednesday's budget.
A report commissioned by the Department of Health suggests introducing a "payroll tax" to fund increased health spending.
"A new source of statutory revenue could be introduced, for example a payroll tax earmarked for health to supplement general revenues," the report says.
It also recommends hikes on alcohol and the creation of "sin taxes" on certain foods. The report justifies these taxes on health grounds, adding that they would result in reduced consumption and increased tax revenue.
Meanwhile, media reports today suggest medical card holders face a doubling of the 50 cent prescription charges in the Budget. Changes to the over-70s medical card and the home package of free TV licence, electricity and telephone allowances are also being considered.
It has also been reported that the time for which non-means-tested dole is paid will be cut from 12 months to nine months.
It is also understood the Cabinet has given formal approval to Attorney General Máire Whelan to draft legislation for the introduction of a controversial property tax.
Meanwhile Minister for Transport Leo Varadkar today said there "may be an increase in carbon tax" but he was not aware of any plans for a fuel price increase.
The major reason for the increase in fuel prices in the last two or three years "is not taxation it's the increase in the price of oil," Mr Varadkar said at Malahide Castle.
Asked about increases in Vehicle Registration Tax he said "any increase in taxation is going to be used to reduce the deficit".
The Cabinet will meet for a third time tomorrow to finalise a budget package. Government sources indicated last night the property tax will be levied at the rate of 0.2 per cent of market value. This means that a property tax of €500 will be levied on a house worth €250,000 with €1,000 falling due on properties worth €500,000.
Reports emerged today that elderly people will have the opportunity to have the property tax on their home deducted from their estate after they have died.
Council house residents face a rent increase of €1 to €2 a week, which will generate €50-€100 a year per house

Bleck Design Group designed the first 2Wire HomePortal® in 1998 and continued through three generations of products.
The original HomePortal® was designed to build 2Wire's brand in the new market for home internet devices. Bleck Design Group developed this iconic design that built a strong recognizable brand over several years.
Several generations of new 2Wire products with a variety of designs met the needs of 2Wire partners around the world.
As design trends evolved the next 2Wire HomePortal® was designed to meet the market demands for very low cost and a recognizable design.
2006 - CES Innovation Award
Uninterruptible Backup System for American Power Conversion (APC)
When APC wanted to design a UPS for corporate data centers, they called in Bleck Design Group. The size of the systems needed by data centers varied greatly. The challenge was to create a flexible system that could be user-upgradeable, with the fewest number of custom parts and a short manufacturing lead time. Bleck Design Group created a modular system that could be built within a few hours. Its stacking design with easy to load bays has hot swappable battery packs, power supplies and control systems along with a patented connector to handle high power requirements. This design allowed one set of component SKU's in the factory that could be configured many ways.
After the market matured the Symmetra product line design was revised to a new front panel design and packaging. This design utilized extruded aluminum channels with modular plastic panels that create a range of cabinet sizes.
1997 Bronze - Industrial Design Excellence Award
1997 Structural Plastics People's Choice Award
The APC/Bleck Design Group relationship started in 1984, when the APC founders saw an opportunity to market a low cost UPS to the personal computer industry. Bleck Design Group and APC developed a long term relationship spanning over twenty years and several generations of products. APC gave Bleck Design Group a great opportunity to develop some exceptional designs that have received awards and recognition in the marketplace.
Network Monitoring Device for NetScout Systems
NetScout is the world's leading provider of integrated network and application performance management solutions. Bleck Design Group was asked to develop a front panel design to project the Netscout brand. The design projects the high quality and advanced technology inherent in the product. The high airflow requirements are integrated into the design without detracting from the balanced design.
We provided industrial design, mechanical engineering and sourcing for this design.
Network Engines wanted a signature design to grab the markets attention as it went public. Bleck Design Group developed this compelling design and had it in production is just four months. We created a tightly coordinated team with our molder and the client. Extremely high airflow requirements for six fans became the foundation of the unique design.
2001 Industrial Design Excellence Award: Bronze - Network Engines, Web Engine Product Family
We design many telecommunications enclosures and IT infrastructure products to meet exceptional customer demands. We develop bold and recognizable industrial designs with efficient ergonomics that build brands through pleasing customer experiences. We engineer airflow systems to provide effective cooling for sensitive electronics and we design enclosures for effective EMI/RFI suppression. We have developed cost effective metal and plastic enclosures to be easily manufactured in both high and low volume.

ESL receives Patriotic Employer Award
By: Mark Gruba
Updated: March 11, 2013
The award recognizes companies that demonstrate unwavering support to members of the military as they transition to the civilian workforce. A company has to be nominated to receive the Patriotic Employer Award.
One year ago this week Army Specialist Chris Cianflone was hired as a part-time teller for ESL. "I'd been applying for positions left and right, just simply trying to get a job out of the army because my skills as airborne infantry don't really translate in the civilian world," said Cianflone.
His supervisor, Robin Frisbee, helped ease the transition and adjusted Cianflone's schedule for reserve duty. As a gesture of appreciation, he nominated her for the Patriotic Employer Award. "She always went above and beyond, just going and moving things around as needed, if I need that last minute shoot, a two day drill just turned into a three day drill, it was never a problem," said Cianflone.
Frisbee was surprised and honored by the recognition. "It was easy to think of hiring Chris, just knowing what his background is," she said. "I knew that he was going to be a hard worker."
The award is sponsored by ESGR, the Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve, an operational committee of the Department of Defense.
Last fall Cianflone spent a month away from work with his army reserve unit. Shortly after returning, he was promoted to full-time telebanker. "I was very excited just to have the opportunity to work for ESL because I had heard such great things about it as a company, and then to find that everybody in the company I worked with - they were all great employees, they were all very friendly, it was almost like a family," he said.
ESL CEO Dave Fiedler said the award reflects the company's inclusive culture - one that focuses on dependability and service commitment.

What junk I wouldn't pay less for this jacket. North Face has a lot of nerve asking this much for this. And another thing North Face I'm a true XL, why can't you get it together on your sizing? Your XL is more like a L and the XXL is so big I'm swimming in it, and what's up with the sleeve length they're like 2" to long. Don't waste your money on this one. North Face, let's get it together.

The Tyrol is a region of western Austria and northern Italy most famous for its towering Alps, fantastic skiing and laid back, casual yet active lifestyle and fresh, clean environment.
Home to towns like Hopfgarten, Innsbruck and Itter in Austria and Bozen on the Italian side of the border. The region also incorporates the Brenner Pass on the Austrian/Italian border.
The people of the Tyrol share many cultural similarities with the Bavarians of southern Germany however they possess a fierce cultural independence from their fellow German-speakers and even their own countrymen. If you're in a bar in a region and ask someone if they're Austrian, often the answer will be "No! I'm Tyrolian!" – Prost.
Add a Comment Comments (53)
Some more information about this nice county says the state is split into two parts–a lrger called North Tyrol (Nordtirol) and smaller East Tyrol (Osttirol)–by a 20-kilometre (12 mi) -wide strip of the Alpine divide where the neighbouring Austrian state of Salzburg borders directly on the Italian province of South Tyrol. With a land area of 12,683.85 km2 (4,897.26 sq mi), it is the third largest state in Austria. besuchen Sie diese Seite

buy Kindle Fire HD
The newest model of the Amazon Kindle Fire HD tablet is a much improved version of its predecessor. It appears that the manufacturer listened to the complaints of users of the first generation Kindle Fire and made a genuine effort to correct them on the new high definition version. Some of the most popular additions to the new tablet include the high resolution HD display, the HD camera for video chatting, up to 32GB of internal storage, dual antenna dual band Wi Fi and the introduction of the larger 8.9 inch tablets. The original version also lacked the option of 3G and the new Fire HD makes up for that with 4G LTE capabilities.StinnecyttDowaliykla posted on 15th Mar 2013 Flag as Inappropriate -

Apple iPhone 5 coupon code
iPhone comes in three storage sizes: 16, 32, and 64GB. The term "GB" stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPhone — apps, games, photos, HD videos, music, movies, and more. If, for example, you have a large music or photo library or you frequently download HD movies, it's a good idea to consider an iPhone with a larger storage capacity. If you have a relatively small music or photo library or rarely make or buy movies, an iPhone with a smaller capacity may be better for you. Of course, over time you will accumulate many things on your iPhone, so you'll want to think about how your storage needs may evolve.StinnecyttDowaliykla posted on 15th Mar 2013 Flag as Inappropriate -

A NASA probe that ferried material from a comet to Earth appears to have brought back an amino acid from that encounter, bolstering a theory that life's precursors may have arrived on our planet from outer space.
The Stardust spacecraft, launched in 1999, passed through Comet Wild 2 in 2004, soaking up particulates and gas with a unique, lightweight capture material known as aerogel. The sample-return portion of the spacecraft dropped safely to Earth during a flyby of our planet two years later.
Early analysis of the samples revealed the presence of biological building blocks such as amino acids, but terrestrial contamination remained a possible explanation for their occurrence.

Reid Hoffman Tries to Change the World in $25 Increments
Silicon Valley celebrity Reid Hoffman has put up the cash to allow others to lend to developing-world entrepreneurs. J. Jennings Moss
- Kent Bernhard, Jr.
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman is putting his money to work well outside the tech venues of Silicon Valley—and getting regular folks involved.
The angel investor and partner at Greylock Ventures has put up $1 million for 40,000 individual $25 loans to would-be entrepreneurs through Kiva, Inc.com reported today. He isn't doling out the loans himself. Instead, users of the site where individuals can make microloans to developing-world entrepreneurs can sign up for and use Hoffman's and other "friends of Kiva" money.
Kiva is a microloan company that disperses $25 payments mostly in developing nations where even such small amounts presumably go further than in developed nations. Since it's founding in 2005, Kiva has dispersed $295 million in loans at a 98.94 percent repayment rate. Once the loan is paid back, Kiva keeps the money in an account as "Kiva credit" that can then be reloaned to a new developing-world entrepreneur.
"The most successful ventures depend on that initial spark from angel investors," Hoffman tells Inc.'s Jeff Haden. "Kiva's model gives us all the ability to connect and make change possible for entrepreneurs around the world who have opportunity but lack capital."

Domino's delivers -- for shareholders
Will the company's shares remain as tasty as its pizza?
Shares of Domino's Pizza (DPZ) skyrocketed more than 11% in early trading Tuesday after the pizza delivery chain posted better-than-expected fourth quarter earnings.
Net income at the Ann Arbor, Mich. company rose 27.9% to $30.9 million, or 52 cents a share, versus $24.2 million, or 40 cents a share, in the year earlier period. Revenue rose 4.5% to $501.7 million. Wall Street analysts expected earnings of 49 cents on sales of $514.1 million.
The results were impressive across the board. U.S. same-store sales grew 6.8% during the fourth quarter, while sales at international stores opened at least a year rose 4.7%. This comparable sales growth indicates that Domino's efforts to improve the quality of its food have paid off, and it came at the expense of rival Papa John's International (PZZA), which gave a disappointing 2012 earnings outlook late last year.
Shares of Domino's have nearly doubled over the past year as the chain successfully navigated an uncertain economy and the highest cheese prices in 25 years. Papa John's shares rose about 26% during the same time. Both companies will benefit from an expected decline in the price of milk and from rising consumer confidence.
Giving its long range outlook, Domino's now expects international same-store sales to rise 3% to 6%, ahead of a previous forecast of a 3%-5% increase. Sales at U.S. stores opened at least a year are projected to rise 1% to 3%, unchanged from an earlier estimate. The good news, though, is largely factored into the stocks of Domino's and Papa John's.
The average one-year price target on Domino's is $35.10, below the $37.31 where it recently traded. Papa John's stock is expected to gain about 6% during the next 52 weeks, rising to $39.23. Domino's shares are pricey, though, trading at a trailing multiple of 21.22, near their five-year high. Papa John's multiple is 16.62.
Fans of both companies may experience financial indigestion if they try to gobble up their shares.
Freelance writer Jonathan Berr prefers the taste of Papa John's pizza. Sorry Domino's. He doesn't own either stock.

Take the first step in creating a custom travel experience.
Get Started >
"Enjoyed our trip to Vietnam with Enchanting Travels. The office was very responsive and would always get back with us promptly about any concerns. Wonderfully planned and paced activities. Knowledgeable helpful guides and great hotels. Who could ask for a better trip! We would travel with them again. Thanks Enchanting Travels."
"My husband and I had never used a travel company before. We decided to use Enchanting-India because we were overwhelmed by all of the options in India- places to go, hotels, drivers, internal flights, activities, etc. We are in our mid-thirties and experienced travelers- we enjoy booking our own trips and have never felt the need to use a travel company. We were so impressed with the company that we decided to use them in Nepal as well. The service was incredible:
-Drivers who drop you off at the front of every site, hand you a bottle of water every time you return.
-Different guides in each city who know everything there is to know about the city. Most of them were born there.
-Selection of 3 different hotels per city- much more manageable than trying to pick a place out of thousands online. We chose a great combo of some of the most amazing hotels (more expensive) and some of the standard hotels (less expensive). Even the cheaper hotels were great.
-One point person for the whole trip. Bhawna was there to greet us when we landed in Delhi and checked on us via phone throughout the trip.
In a nutshell, we felt like a king and queen throughout the trip and I will absolutely use Enchanting-Travels again."
"Our trip through Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam in June 2011 was a two man tour and the service and experience was excellent. Enchanting Travels did all they could to provide an excellent holiday for us and everything was first class. I can highly recommend them to provide a holiday tailored to your needs and wants. Excellent guides, hotels and tours tailored to your own needs."
"Once again we have had a wonderful trip with Enchanting that has left us with brilliant memories. We booked a trip in Laos after going with Enchanting to India, a trip that had exceeded our expectations in every way and where they proved themselves to have expertise and local knowledge. Our experience in Laos was just as excellent.
We appreciate that Enchanting tailor to our exact requests, whilst suggesting more options, working closely with us to build the perfect trip. Once there, we love that all you have to do is enjoy and experience what the country has to offer without needing to worry about how to get to places or having to refer to guide books.
Our local guides took us to where we wanted to go, rather than a 'one size fits all' tour and introduced us to local people, cuisine and answered our many questions. Our highlights were visiting the historic city of Luang Prabang, where we would have spent a week if it were possible, and a spectacular cruise on the Mekong seeing historic sights and villages en route whilst being given the most amazing food and service!
Thank you so much for the perfect trip!"
"The 2 weeks we spent with Enchanting-Asia in both Vietnam and Bangkok were a very positive experience for us. We highly recommend Enchanting-Asia."
"Our experience with Enchanting-Travels was certainly positive. All of the guides and drivers were of superior quality; they went out of their way to make our trip memorable."
"We have traveled and toured worldwide. Our trip with Enchanting-Travels provided us with such a highly personal and customized itinerary that it fulfilled what we had wanted to experience in India and Nepal. We would not even consider another service or agent."
"After a lovely trip to Cambodia and Laos in 2010, I decided to return in 2011 and asked Enchanting-Asia to plan my trip. It was my 1st time with this company and I was more than thrilled. The planning stage was so much fun. Kausar hunted down out of the way activities that I'd glimpsed a year earlier and had me booked in a flash. I also changed my mind about some things and he kindly adjusted. He immediately responded to all questions. Once there, my guides spoke good English and were informed and most likeable. Because I travelled alone, they also tucked a few more activities they knew I would like into the itinerary. There was no pressure to shop, or hurry anywhere, and we stopped the car at my whim. Though not the priciest level, the lodgings were very nice. The Lao are kind and friendly and my trip was such a sucess that I'm already thinking about where Enchanting-Asia will take me next year!"
"This is the second time we have traveled with Enchanting-Travels and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their attention to detail and monitoring of progress gives the traveler huge comfort, and they are very flexible and attentive to the slightest problem. And all of this is done with charm and at a highly competitive price. Superb value."
"Prathima at Enchanting-Asia made the planning of our honeymoon in India and the Maldives an absolute breeze - from accommodation, transfers and drivers, site seeing, private tour guides and general advice - she helped us plan our dream honeymoon! Thank you Prathima and Enchanting-Asia!"
Sylvie Lussier, Canada
"We planned our honeymoon to Vietnam with Enchanting-Asia and the trip was flawless. I don't normally like to cede control of trip planning but working with the Enchanting-Asia staff was like taking suggestions from old friends who know more about the region than I do. They listened to exactly what I wanted and produced a perfect itinerary. I could be involved as much or as little as I liked, but I always knew that the trip would be excellent.
The logistics of our trip (7 cities, 4 internal flights, multiple boat trips, and drivers and tours throughout) would have been daunting had we planned them on our own. Instead, it was all handled for us and ran so smoothly we almost didn't notice the transitions. I could not recommend this experience more highly."
"This has been my second trip with Enchanting. You have reliably provided us with a hassle-free and enjoyable holiday. Your planning reflected your experience in this area. Your choice of Himalayan Encounter to handle the Nepal leg of our trip was excellent as their staff provided us with a warm and first class service.
We look forward to traveling with you again."
"While we only had a short stay in Sri Lanka, the place is great. We will be coming back for more and when we do, it will be with Enchanting-Travels. They make your trip what you want it to be by listening to what you want, then by doing it for you. You can do as much or as little as you want and while it is an organized tour it never feels like it. You feel like you are on an independent traveler but with a safety net of experienced people backing you up."
Craig Parker, Australia
"We spent 18 wonderful days in Bhutan. Everything was perfect from hotel selection, to guide, to trekking organization. We have traveled a lot and it was the easiest trip of our life. The country is beautiful; the people are nice the organization was flawless."
Adrian Lee & Prasana Manilall, Australia
"Enchanting-Travels did an excellent job planning and coordinating our trip to Bhutan and Nepal - we had a great time and everything went extremely well. Ranjana, the consultant with which we worked, was very responsive and helpful in planning the trip, answering all of our questions, and working out any problems. I would definitely use Enchanting-Travels for future trips."
"Our trip to Bhutan and Northern India was without a glitch. We had excellent drivers, hotels, guides and support from Enchanting-Asia. We had lots of freedom to pick what and when we wanted to do things and were able to experience Bhutan and India at many levels. The variety of activities was great. We emerged ourselves in the culture, enjoyed the history, art and architecture and returned home with a piece of Bhutan and India in our soul."
Jackie Powell, USA
"After our trip with Enchanting-Asia last year to Vietnam we had our best trip ever, or so we thought! However this year's adventure was phenomenal. Each day we had wonderful activities including our guides and drivers that were each outstanding. Every hotel was superior including terrific service wherever we were. We saw and did more in just two weeks than I ever could imagine, but were never rushed for time. My family and I cannot say enough good things about Enchanting-Asia, from the planning stage all the way to the moment we got on our flight home. Already thinking about next year!"
"Our trip to South East Asia was our second expereince with Enchanting-Travels (They also arranged our South America trip 2 years ago). The care and attention to detail continually impressed us. The guides, drivers, and accommodation were carefully chosen to give us the best possible experience. We felt pampered and cared for with guides to meet us at airports, drivers who helped us in and out of the cars and offered cold water, and hotel staff who couldn't be more courteous and helpful.
Although we had an itinerary in mind, our travel consultant had some wonderful suggestions which made the trip very special - 3 day trip on the Mekong River, a cooking school in Hoi An, a few day in Luang Prabang - all wonderful ideas. We particularly liked the visits to small villages and drive through the countryside to get a glimpse of how the people live and work. "
"We used Enchanted Asia based on their website travel affiliations. My travel consultant was an extremely patient and available person. She was always there to discuss the trip and change any plans, hotels etc. I think she listened to what I wanted to do and tried very hard to make it happen for the price I wanted to spend. In the end, we were very satisfied. All the guides were there to meet us on time. Some were particularly creative during the trip, adding sites in their own communities. I would definitely use them again."
"Excellent, hassle-free holiday in Vietnam and Cambodia which gave an insight into wonderful countries and extremely kind and gentle people. Sights were as spectacular as anticipated and well worth seeing. Service and comfort at the various hotels was as good as we have experienced anywhere in the world. The holiday was extremely well planned and managed by Enchanting-Asia. Thanks to all concerned."
"For people who are looking to have an experience of a life time, Enchanting-Travels is the company to travel with. Customized tours, knowledgable and friendly agents who make a point of ensuring that arrangements and attention to detail is first class. The guides are well versed in the culture of the area and ensure that they share their experiences and history so that you feel that you are learning and experiencing the culture first hand. Excellent,ce first class company and agents who ensure that from start to finish you will have an experience of a lifetime. "
"One of our guides told us 'In India everything is possible...but, nothing is certain'. However, with Enchanting-Travels 'Everything is possible and everything is certain'. "
Thank you, Enchanting-Asia, for helping my journey to be such a memorable, wonderful experience! Namaste."
Stacy Elena Rogers, USA

MOSCOW — The Russian avant-garde architect Konstantin Melnikov's seminal cylindrical house in Moscow, which has inspired architects around the world for nearly a century, is gravely threatened by construction of a large multipurpose complex abutting its tiny backyard, Russian and international preservationists say.
The work has led to "numerous new cracks" to the building's load-bearing and partition walls and signs of damage to its foundation, according to an appeal that Russian architecture and heritage experts addressed to President Vladimir V. Putin and other officials.
The house is on a side street just off of the central Arbat pedestrian mall, which is known as a busy tourist trap. Real estate continues to be at prime value in Russia even as the country's oil boom has waned. The construction project is the latest to take place in the vicinity of what is regarded as one of Modernist architecture's most famous works, completed in 1929 and used by Melnikov as a home and studio when the very act of building a private house in Soviet Russia was revolutionary.
The letter to Mr. Putin was posted this month on the Web site of Archnadzor, a Moscow-based preservation watchdog group that is battling developers across the Russian capital. It was accompanied by photographs of the damage, and warned that the "risk of losing a masterpiece of 20th-century world architecture" had "grown significantly" and was magnified by a failure to take measures to prevent the house's collapse.

PLOT: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN tells the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.
REVIEW: Let me kick of this review of Marc Webb's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN by stating I was wrong. I made a mistake in judging this flick so harshly so soon. Sorry about that. I'll try to keep a more open mind in the future when it comes to comic movie reboots. Or not. Really can't make that promise. But let's not worry about empty promises and just focus on the fact I admitted I was wrong when it came to this particular comic book movie reboot.
When news first broke of SPIDER-MAN going back to the beginning, I was pissed. My fanboy brain couldn't process the idea Sony/Columbia would reboot the Sam Raimi SPIDER-MAN trilogy less than ten years after its conception. Not only that, I couldn't process any reason why they would want to? Oh sure, the rumored SPIDER-M4N was reportedly riddled with problems (Raimi hated the script, the studio hated Vulture as a villain, the actors didn't want to return) but these were not problems that could have been rectified with liberal application of time and money. All the studio needed to do was give those things to Raimi and the original SPIDER-MAN series (which grossed somewhere around 2.5 BILLION dollars at the worldwide box office) could've lived.
But that's not what happened. Raimi, still smarting from the studio insisting Venom be included in the third film, bailed and then star Tobey Maguire, still smarting from the critical backlash he received for going all emo in the third film, bailed. With their main talent gone and the rights to Spider-Man on the verge of reverting back to Marvel if a new film didn't start production soon, Sony/Columbia was faced with either continuing the series with a new director and star (a trick that only the Bond franchise has been ever able to successfully pull off) or starting completely from scratch. They obviously chose the latter.
A quick scan of the Adamantium Bullet archives reveals my response to this choice was to make bold declarative statements like "This is a stupid f*cking idea", "This is a giant F*CK YOU to Sam Raimi", "This new SPIDER-MAN is going to be a rush job rather than a love letter", and, my personal favorite, "Spider-Man is on the verge of joining the likes of CATWOMAN and the 1990 version of CAPTAIN AMERICA in the pantheon of shitty comic movies" and then use my anonymity on the internet as a shield.
The articles following the initial attack featured me viciously dissecting the individual cast and crew announcements. I dissed Marc Webb as a "guy who made one great movie (500 DAYS OF SUMMER) and then joined the corporate ranks to pump out a soulless popular piece of garbage that the masses will no doubt gobble up". I described Andrew Garfield (THE SOCIAL NETWORK hadn't hit theaters at the time of his casting) as a Robert Pattinson wannabe with "emo-tastic hair" and "a head size slightly off-kilter in proportion to the rest of his body". I dismissed Rhys Ifans' validity as The Lizard and as a big screen villain based on his work in NOTTING HILL. And while I did acknowledge the casting of Emma Stone, Martin Sheen, Sally Field, and Denis Leary as good calls, I was always quick to remind readers that "I genuinely hate the fact that [Sony/Columbia] is rebooting this series less than ten years after it began".
Well …I was wrong. Probably didn't need to spend three paragraphs explaining why I was but I've already done it and can't take that back now. I guess what I was going for was "perspective". Needed you to know how much me liking this movie means to me. Me, me, me, me! But seriously, I dug the flick. Let's count the ways, shall we?
Marc Webb (great name for a guy directing a Spidey flick) is not a "sell-out". I was way off the mark with that statement. Kinda knew it when I made it. I mean, seriously, Webb helmed 500 DAYS OF SUMMER which is one of my favorite comedies of the last five years. Joseph Gordon-Levitt AND Zooey Deschanel being all hipster-y while falling in and out of love? Who doesn't love that?
So it was a good call for Sony/Columbia to hire Webb as director. While Raimi was the studio wanted his quirky brand of humor and edgy visuals, Webb was hired for his indie charm and hipster vibe. As much as I love the Raimi films, the relationship stuff always felt weak to me. Never really bought Peter (Maguire) and Mary Jane (Kirsten Dunst) as a couple. There were cute moments to be sure (can't go wrong with that upside down kiss) but not nearly enough chemistry.
Not the case here. Webb exploits every one of Peter's relationships in the film – whether it be with Gwen Stacy, Uncle Ben, Aunt May, Curt Connors, Captain Stacy, his parents, the random crane operator played by Ponyboy from THE OUTSIDERS, or even himself – as far as the first installment in a proposed trilogy will allow him. Some are 100% amazing (the Peter/Gwen stuff is so good and packed with erotic tension the movie actually suffers a little when they aren't together), some are paid off immediately (totally dug Peter and Captain Stacy's arc), some are established but left unresolved (I guarantee the truth behind the disappearance of Peter's parents, played by Campbell Scott and Embeth Davitz, will be addressed in the sequels), and a few appear to have been just plain abandoned (both Uncle Ben's killer and Irrfan Khan's evil OsCorp flunkie disappear into thin air once the Lizard enters the picture). What's nice is that all of these relationships, amazing, paid off, or even abandoned, are mostly three dimensional.
And that's not some pun because the movie is in 3D. By the way, saw THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN in IMAX 3D and I'm here to say the upcharge is not really worth it. Some of the scenes (mostly the action beats and POV stuff) are flashy and fit the format well but most of the film is firmly 2D. As in, you can take you glasses off and watch the film and there's no blurriness. Trust me. I took the glasses off during most of the dialogue stuff and the film looked very non-3D.
Webb's handling of the action sequences is pretty spot-on as well. He's definitely no Raimi (not many are) but he's not a slouch either. The decision to give Spidey a bit of kung-fu Parkour flavor and have him constantly drop little homage poses during the heat of action (the very last shot is an almost straight up recreation of the cover of SPIDER-MAN #1) was a good one. The decision to make take advantage of Garfield's lithe frame for a more acrobatic Spidey (Maguire was more of a brawler) was a good one. The decision to give Peter a skateboard and have him drop some wicked flips, grinds, and whatever other hip terms the kids are using these days was …well, that decision wasn't great. Two out of three ain't bad.
Andrew Garfield. I was wrong to compare him to the Pattinson. He's more James Dean (or maybe James Franco) than anyone else and that's okay by me. Making Peter secretly cool (Gwen almost immediately falls for him) and not uber-nerdy (new Peter is super smart, capable of developing his own web-shooters, and socially awkward but he's definitely not a sweaty, pimply geek like old Peter) may seem like sacrilege but I think the change works.
Emma Stone IS Gwen Stacy. That's all I really have to say about it. You probably already know how good Stone is (see SUPERBAD, ZOMBIELAND, THE HELP, or CRAZY STUPID LOVE as evidence of crazy mad acting skills) but I'm here to tell you that she's operating on entirely different level here. She's so damn perfect here that I need to warn you I'm going to weep like a big fanboy baby when Gwen (SPOILER ALERT!!!) is brutally murdered by Norman Osborne (aka Green Goblin) in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2.
That's where this new take is heading. Go ahead and accept it. Gwen, lovely as she is, is going to die. That's how it was in the comics and that's how it's going to be here. Webb has established the characters (even bully Flash Thompson is given a little arc), given the origin a proper new spin (new Peter's reaction to the spider bite is wayyy more Cronenberg this time, a definite change-up from old Peter's happy-go-lucky "Go web go!" reaction), introduced a big bad (I'm assuming the mysterious figure who pops up midway through the end credits is Norman), and set the pieces in motion (but leaving room for MIA characters like Harry Osborn, J. Jonah Jameson, and Mary Jane Watson) for EMPIRE-styled "Gwen dies!" cliffhanger ending for the sequel.
Or, if you prefer a more comic-y reference, AMAZING is the Spidey version of BATMAN BEGINS which means Gwen is Rachel Dawes which means (SPOILER ALERT!!!) she'll die at the end of the first sequel. Saavy?
Rhys Ifans. Dug him as Curt Connors but didn't dig him as The Lizard. That's weird, right? I don't know. Just felt like his character became a little contrived once he sprouted scales and a tail. Before that, Ifans is really good. He plays Connors as a noble(ish) guy developing a limb-generating serum to make the world a better place. That's cool. Good guy who'll go bad when his experiment goes wrong. Been done before but hasn't everything?
The problem here is AMAZING loses the character of Connors once The Lizard enters the picture. Oh sure, his initial transformation (Connors tests the serum on himself rather than poor limbless veterans) and rampage (he causes a ruckus on the Brooklyn Bridge in attempt to stop an evil OsCorp employee who IS going to test the serum on poor limbless veterans) are in character but his endgame is to turn EVERYONE in NYC into raging Lizard-people is not. I mean, seriously, isn't this the same scheme Magneto had in the first X-MEN flick?
Oh and what the hell was up with The Lizard's face? Dude looks like one of the goombas from the 1993 live-action SUPER MARIO BROS movie. Don't believe me? Check out this out:
The Lizard is a 200 million dollar goomba. Gotta knock a bullet off for The Lizard's dumb face and his plan being so weak. How Webb and company can get so much right but totally bungle the master plan of the villain (The Lizard gasses an entire SWAT team and turns him into lizards but NEVER actually uses them to battle Spidey) is beyond me.
Quick round-up of the supporting cast: Martin Sheen was really good as Uncle Ben. Not sure if I dug his performance because I'm a huge fan of Sheen (APOCALYPSE NOW, baby!) or because he was actually good in the role but I dug the performance and felt it was definitely on-par with Cliff Robertston in the Raimi Spidey pics. Sally Field, on the other hand, was perfect as Aunt May. Whatever doubts I may have had about her casting were wiped immediately away the second she appeared on-screen. Denis Leary did his normal schtick and I didn't mind. Love the Leary.
I dug this flick. AngieBee and my 9-year-old nephew Seth both dug it. The audience I saw it with dug it and even clapped at the end. If that's not enough to get you out to the theater then I don't what will. Definitely on-par with the Raimi pics but nowhere near as good as THE AVENGERS, Marc Webb's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is a summer blockbuster of the highest order and a great example of how to do a reboot right.
Trackbacks do not exist in this dojo.

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Billy Butler might not have been able to finish off the cycle, but he did enough damage in his first three at-bats to lead the Royals to a 8-2 win over Baltimore in the opener of a four-game set.
Butler hit a three-run blast as a part of a four-run first inning and finished a single short of the cycle as the Royals cruised to their third straight win.
Will Smith (3-4) held the early lead and limited Baltimore to two runs on six hits in seven innings.
The Royals crushed Wei-Yin Chen (10-7), who had entered Thursday's game with a 1.95 earned run average since the All-Star break, for seven runs on nine hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Much of the focus on the night was on infielder Manny Machado, who made his major league debut at third base and batting ninth for the Orioles. The 20- year-old picked up his first two career hits and scored a run for the O's, who saw their five-game win streak snapped.
Alex Gordon started the game with his third lead-off home run of the season. After Alcides Escobar and Lorenzo Cain singled, Butler belted a three-run blast to left field to give the Royals a four-run lead.
Butler started a rally in the third inning with a one-out double. After Salvador Perez grounded out, Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur came through with back-to-back doubles to expand Kansas City's lead to six.
The Royals put another run on the board in the fifth after Butler picked up his first triple since 2009. He scored on Perez's sacrifice fly to make the score 7-0.
Butler struck out in the seventh and ninth innings.
Machado gave the home crowd something to cheer about in the bottom half of the fifth inning. After he grounded out in his first major league at-bat in the second, Machado laced a triple to right-center field in his second plate appearance. He later scored on Nick Markakis' sacrifice fly.
Gordon doubled then scored on an Escobar base hit in the sixth before Matt Wieters socked an opposite-field home run in the bottom half of the frame to cap the scoring.
Aaron Crow and Jeremy Jeffress combined to toss a pair of hitless frames to seal the win.
Game Notes
Machado became the first Oriole to debut before his 21st birthday since Hayden Penn in 2005 and the first position player since Eugene Kingsdale in 1996...Butler homered off Chen for the second time this season...Kansas City went 4-for-7 with runners in scoring position and Baltimore went 0-for-3.

The Warriors loosehead made his Scotland debut in the epic 9-6 tour triumph over Australia last week but expects the meeting with the South Sea Islanders to be an even more brutal encounter.
Scotland's preparations for the Churchill Park clash have been disrputed by a stomach bug while Grant's Warriors team-mate Jon Welsh has been sent home with a shoulder injury that has ensured the 26-year-old will make a second consecutive start.
It promises to be a tough clash as Scotland's last encounter in Fiji ended in a 51-26 defeat back in 1998. Grant says the Scots will have to be at their best if they are to build on the opening victory.
He said: "We know what happened the last time a Scotland team played in Fiji and so we are well warned.
"They are below us in the world rankings but if they beat us then that may not be the case for long. Against any South Sea Islanders you are going to be asked physical questions and I expect this to be as brutal an encounter as I have been involved in.
"Both Fiji then Samoa next Saturday will play with a tremendous amount of passion and pride given they are facing an established Test side on their soil and due to how infrequently it happens. That means they will put their bodies on the line and we will have to match them."
The fact that Scotland head coach Andy Robinson has made just two changes for the second leg of the three-Test tour of Australasia underlines just how positive a platform the win over the Aussies has established.
For his part, Grant is absolutely determined to build on the Scots' first victory in Oz in 30 years by doing a professional job on the Fijians.
He said: "The win against Australia is no good unless we can back it up. You look at how long ago it was when a Scotland side last won Down Under and I think that puts how important it was into perspective.
"It's a great result and everyone's on a high off the back of it, but we've still got two huge games to play starting with Fiji.
"We've done the hard work in beating Australia and if we don't win the next two Tests then it'll be for nothing and we just can't allow that to happen.
"On a personal note, I felt I did not too badly on my debut and again it is about kicking on from that and really trying to use the opportunity presented by back-to-back Tests to cement my place.
"People said my debut would fly by but I was amazed by how quickly it went. Now I have the opportunity to start a second game for Scotland, hopefully I can savour it a bit more."

In 1983 Janet Deering, my wife, went on a nationwide sales trip by loading our camper with banjos and hitting the road while I stayed at home making banjos and taking care of the kids. In 10 weeks she covered 14 thousand miles and crossed the country visiting stores across the country opening many new Deering dealers who are still with us today.
While Janet was in the southeast she noticed a cultural phenomena that banjo players had to have a prewar banjo or one that looked like it. It almost didn't matter how good our banjo was if it didn't look like the prewar. At first this was discouraging to us but then we realized that the currently made prewar style banjos didn't come anywhere close to the actual prewar banjos in quality or sound. So we realized that what the banjo world needed was a prewar style banjo that was truly comparable to the actual prewars and we set out to do the best job that had ever been done making these classic banjos.
I contacted a number of banjo players who owned one of the few original 5-string prewar banjos. Only about 150 of the 1930's prewar banjos were actually 5-strings. The rest were all four strings. Most of us only know the prewars that have non-original necks that are converted four strings. Very few of us have actually held one of the original 5-string prewars in our hands. So I rounded up three actual original 5-string prewars and had them all sitting on my bench at the same time. Funny thing is those three banjos weren't all the same. There was some noticeable variation.
So I studied these banjos intensely, documented, and measured them and documented and measured them again and again and we came out with the Golden Era banjo as a result of that study. The Golden Era neck shapes are not a Deering neck shape. They are a prewar neck shape which is narrower at the nut and has more taper in the thickness of the neck from the nut to the heel which gives them a distinctive prewar feel.
We make these banjos because our customers asked us to make them and when we offered these banjos, people bought them, many of whom have expressed to us that they are the best prewar style banjos made today. - Greg Deering

super thick rug pad, needed for our bunk room -- between the beds.
This product solved a rug-on-rug slippage problem to about the 80% level. My carpeting is very dense with little nap, so someone else may have even better results.
will buy again without hesitation! A must for every rug, works great!
I was looking for a lot of bang for my buck, and this fits the bill.
My mother always told me it was okay to buy cheap carpeting, if you bought a good rug pad, but she was talking wall-to-wall and I ignored the advice when it came to my marble floors with splashy area rugs. Then I realized the cheaper pads were making marks on the marble. And, alas, I have a dog that sheds enough to make another dog every season change. I had just bought a really nice rug to replace an old favourite of mine that was just not cutting it as an entry rug any longer, and decided to try a good rug pad and see if it would not leave marks on the marble. It not only doesn't leave any marks, but the difference under foot, barefoot or with shoes on, is the difference between walking on sharp rocks in bare feet and walking on clouds. Along with adding a welcoming note of comfort, it also holds the rug up a tad higher and shows it off, honestly, a lot more than you would think could be expected of a lowly rug pad. I am now converted -- from now on, this will be what I get to put under my rugs. The luxury of it is just too great for the price, not to mention too easy!
