Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg has taken movie audiences on extravagant adventures of a lifetime during his lengthy course behind the camera when impacting the film industry with his captivating on-screen imagination. Spielberg has shown an amazing range of vision and scope when tackling various movie genres that tap in the collective consciousness of moviegoers. Science fiction, social issue dramas, action and adventure, period pieces, family-oriented fantasies, comedies, war movies–you name it and Spielberg has done it on the big screen in his illustrious film career in directing, producing, writing and promoting.
Although Spielberg has done his share of adult-oriented films that cater to the sophisticated masses he is primarily known for his whimsical kid-friendly fare or at least releases that feature children in some of his escapist gems that may not necessarily be considered kiddie-coated.

It still amazes me how well the VFX in Jurassic Park holds up after all these years. Industrial Light and Magic is the team that amazingly brought the dinosaurs to life on the big screen. We have a fascinating featurette that you need to watch that focuses on bringing the live-action elements together with the VFX elements. It's really cool to get a before and after look at all the movie magic that had to happen to bring this classic film to life for us.
Here's a little trivia that gives some backstory on what Steven Spielberg needed to do to make this movie work.
Steven Spielberg didn't want people to be constantly reminded that what they're seeing is CGI, but real, full-blooded dinosaurs, starting with the Brachiosaur scene, where Spielberg was keen on the dinosaur interacting with the background, and would offer suggestions to the animators on how to make it better. »

We begin with a still photo in the pages of a magazine, an image whose recollection time has has eroded but not erased; a large dinosaur footprint in the mud, alongside a further image of Sam Neill, Joseph Mazzello, and Ariana Richards sat in a treetop, face to face with a dinosaur…
Back in 1993 that's all it took for Jurassic Park to become the most eagerly anticipated film of the decade. Hop forward what seems an evolutionary blink to April 2014 and we've just had the millionth trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 threaten to pummel us into vast apathy for a film which looks to be good old blockbuster fare. So why have studios taken this dumbed down, multi-format saturation approach to marketing their films? One which may have an adverse effect on audience appreciation and enjoyment of the final film?
Here's why….

More than two decades later, and we still can't look at a cup of water the same.
Just as the rippling water in that now iconic scene signaled the T. rex's grand entrance, so did Jurassic Park usher in a new era of cinematic innovation. Making a reality of so many childhood dreams, it marries moviemaking wizardry and emotional complexity to electrifying effect. Park also straddles a number of genres (action-adventure, family, thriller, and sci-fi, to name a few) on top of its ready-made merchandising and theme-park ride potential, ultimately offering something for everyone. But the leaps and »

Rule of thumb: things involving "Jurassic Park" will always be funny. Case in point: a mock Yelp page for the park (courtesy of Mandatory) that will have you howling like a velociraptor in heat. Seriously... this could have been really dumb but it's kind of perfect.
Not only are the "Recommended Reviews" on the phony page amazing ("Great place to visit if you feel like dying") but the longer reviews are just as terrific, like the one attributed to "Tim M.," the young character in the movie played by Joseph Mazzello. "This place started off cool. My grandpa invited me for the grand opening and I really like dinosaurs..." his review reads. Then later: "Spoiler Alert: The dinosaurs were pissed!" (Even better is the one attributed to the Jeff Goldblum's character, Ian Malcolm. But we're not going to spoil that.) Lol x 65 million

Ever since Jurassic World was first announced, fans have been wondering if any of the Jurassic Park cast members will be coming back. Director Colin Trevorrow confirmed that one of the original actors will be making a return, although it might not be someone you expect.
Here's what the filmmaker had to say in an interview with IGN.
"I know a lot of fans want to see the original characters back. They're iconic. But I respect those actors too much to shoehorn them into this story for my own sentimental reasons. Jurassic Park isn't about the bad luck of three people who keep getting thrown into the same situation. The only reason they'd go back to that island is if the screenwriters contrived a reason for them to go. But there is a character from the first film who makes sense in our world. This hasn't been announced yet, but B. »

One of the most memorable nail-biting scenes in Steven Spielberg's classic Jurassic Park arrives near the climax, when a pair of deadly velociraptors stalk two children (Ariana Richards & Joseph Mazzello) through the park's massive kitchen. Since the film's release in 1993, dinosaur experts have revised their concept of the ancient predators; fossil evidence of feathered raptors suggests they might have resembled monstrous birds. While that might have made the scene play out quite a bit differently, they probably never imagined anything quite like this: Bangkok, Thailand-based production company We Are Camera Studio recently unveiled an awesome parody of that iconic scene... in which the raptors are digitally replaced with giant (but totally adorable) cats. The studio's YouTube clip has gone viral since it first surfaced last week (along with multiple riffs on a loop of Jeff Goldblum's character laughing), and as of this writing, it's approaching one million views. »

In a brief pause from the momentum of Season 3, "Person of Interest" used episode 16, "Ram," to flashback at the pasts of Finch, Reese and Shaw to explain how an important moment from their mutual history is playing into their future.
Meet Daniel Casey (guest star Joseph Mazzello) who a younger Finch, then with ally Rick Dillinger, is trying to protect. He has a laptop with important information that the likes of Reese and Kara Stanton (returning guest star Annie Parisse) want to regain. They ultimately fail, and it's Shaw who Control calls in to clean up the mess.
It was really fun to see how close these three allies all came to one another in the past. Though Finch doesn't really know who Reese is, viewers get to see some of Reese's morality shine through when he lets Casey go. Shaw has her eye on the prize as much as »

A judge is hearing testimony as to whether or not Sheriff Mike Byrd should have his bond revoked. There have been three witnesses this morning. All of them are Jackson County Deputies. Deputy Brad Lewis testified that Byrd called him on September 4th 2013 asking about details concerning surveillance at a Mexican Restaurant. The indictment claimed Byrd ordered surveillance on the restaurant because they refused a personal check from him. Lewis testified that the sheriff sounded as though he was reading from a legal document as he asked about the incident. Lewis says Byrd did not mention the part of about the refused check and Lewis says he didn't correct the sheriff because "you never want to pick a fight with your supervisor."
Deputy Curtis Spears testified Byrd also called him September 4th asking about the Mexican restaurant investigation. Spears says Byrd said he was investigating Lewis for possible fraud in the case. The defense sought to show that Byrd ordered the surveillance because he received a tip illegal immigrants worked there.
Defense lawyers say Byrd is contacting witnesses to aid in his own defense. They say he is merely looking for facts and that is constitutionally protected. Judge William Coleman advised the sheriff not to contact witnesses except for Jackson County Sheriff's Office business. The judge added added ominously "some constitutional rights can be waived."
You can read the original indictment against Byrd here.

text: The quest to trade Larry Hughes continues and the most promising destination still appears to be Washington for forward Etan Thomas and guard Mike James. Thomas is injured, but that hardly matters. James, a 6-4 scoring guard, might be a personality risk. He's played on eight teams in the past six seasons. If that wasn't enough of a red flag, his family appeared on a recent episode of "Supernanny." Let's just say if James takes coaching advice in basketball as well as he took parenting advice from Supernanny, the Bulls would be in for some headaches.

What Would You Do If You Couldn't Fail?
By Karen Ballum on October 10, 2012
Book Discussion
Brene Brown's Daring Greatly made me think a lot about failure. When we make ourselves vulnerable we open ourselves to a lot of things, some good and some positive. One of the things that we make possible when we do this is something many people, myself included, fear -- failure. When we make ourselves vulnerable we risk failure and that is a heady, wonderful, terrifying thing.
For a long time I really had no idea how to fail. I was one of those kids that was just simply good at school. I learned how to read young and to this day it's rare to see me without a book somewhere within reach. In school I really only had two problems. One was boredom, the other was gym class. Without being bad at gym, I might not have learned how to embrace failure.
My grades in gym class really weren't bad but they were usually among the worst grades I had. They could have been worse. Luckily for me, my gym teachers were a good group who generally recognized that not every student was going to excel at sports and they rewarded effort. Despite knowing that I wasn't very good, I think I tried out for just about every team sport. I only made the team once. The failure to do so was, rather shockingly, not so painful as I thought it would be.
I am glad I made the team once, even though I still wasn't very good and was absolutely one of the worst players. I would be lying if I said I hadn't wanted wanted to make some of those school teams and I think, had I put in more pre-season effort, I might have succeeded at a few more of them. Maybe. I also knew, after the first few attempts, that I likely wasn't going to succeed. I kept trying anyway because the trying? That was the important part.
Brene Brown asks us what would we do if we could not fail. I'm not sure. Maybe I'd run a marathon. Maybe I'd take that dance class that I'm so scared to take. Maybe I'd write more about the things I've thought about writing about instead of just thinking about writing them. Maybe I'd start that short story that has been bouncing around in my brain for the past six months. I am more inclined to think that it's sheer laziness holding me back on many of those fronts, rather than the fear of failure but I'm not sure. I might be lying to myself. But I know this -- I've never regretted trying and failing as much as not trying at all.
What would you do if you knew you would not fail? What would you do if you knew you were going to fail anyway?

Vintage Matchbox Cars
The Matchbox line of miniature diecast vehicles was unofficially launched in 1953 when British toymaker Lesney Products created a 15 3/4-inch-long replica of Queen Elizabeth's coronation coach. The coach came in either silver or gold, and was pulled by a team of eight white horses and four red-jacketed riders. Lesney's coronation coach sold well, but a miniature, 4 1/2-inch version sold even better.
Coincidentally, around the same time, Lesney partner Jack Odell had scaled down one of Lesney's first toys, a road roller, for his daughter Ann, whose school only permitted children to carry toys that were small enough to fit into a matchbox. Ever the engineer, Odell made his daughter a matchbox-compliant cast-brass road roller, which he painted red and green. Naturally, all of Ann's friends wanted one, too, and by the end of 1953, Lesney had trademarked the name Matchbox as the brand for its new line of 1:75-scale cars and trucks.
The first Matchbox vehicles sold poorly, in part because shopkeepers could make more money off larger toys that sold for higher prices (they were loath to fill their shelves with goods that would generate less revenue). But kids loved Matchbox toys, and they were priced low enough that many children could afford to buy them with their own pocket money. The line's slow start was soon forgotten—by 1960, Lesney was producing approximately 50-million Matchbox vehicles per year.
Contemporary collectors love these vintage Matchbox toys. Models from the first year included green-and-red cement mixers, road rollers, and dump trucks. The orange milk wagon featured a black horse with white fetlocks and a metal milkman riding up on top. Cars were also offered, from a red-and-white Vauxhall Cresta sedan to an all-white MG Midget TD.
Even though the objects were small, Odell lavished lots of attention on their details. Cars had dashboards, and their wheels looked like real wheels, not just generic discs. Headlamps were spray-painted silver—later, molded plastic would be squeezed into the interiors. Some of Odell's most ambitious re-creations boasted more than 100 die-cast parts.
The next Matchbox series was called Models of Yesteryear. Launched in 1956, these nostalgic toys included a 1925 Allchin 7-NHP Tractor Engine, whose green body offset its red, spoke wheels. A traditional red London double-decker bus, patterned after one from 1911, was also released in 1956, as was a London Tramcar from 1907. A brown-bodied, white-roofed Leyland Lorry with a "W. R. Jacob" decal on its side came out the following year, and in 1958, Matchbox offered a 1929 green Le Mans Bentley racecar.
The Models of Yesteryear series continued until 1982. Between 1960 and 1974, silver or gold versions of 1911 Model T Fords, 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghosts, and 1923 Type 35 Bugat...
Matchbox Major Packs was another series from the 1950s. Slightly larger than the regular 1:75 Matchbox line, these vehicles continued Odell's interest in heavy machinery and trucks. The inaugural pieces were a yellow Caterpillar Earth Scraper, with silver metal wheels and black plastic tires, and a Bedford Ice Cream Truck, whose light-blue cab pulled an off-white trailer advertising "Wall's Ice Cream." This series continued until 1966.
For collectors, Matchbox cars in their original boxes are always more highly prized than loose ones. Another wrinkle to watch for is cars made from 1954 to 1960, whose boxes bear the phrase "A Moko Lesney Product." This refers to the business relationship between Lesney and Moko, a company Lesney partnered with to help with Matchbox's marketing and distribution.
Without a doubt, the greatest challenge to Matchbox's dominance of the small-die-cast-toy-vehicle market was the 1968 launch of Mattel's Hot Wheels. It is generally agreed that Matchbox was slow to respond to these faster cars, waiting a full year before introducing its line of miniature Superfast Wheels. In 1970, the Major Packs were retooled as Super Kings, and a line of Speed Kings was sold from 1971 to 1978.
But that was not enough. Lesney went bankrupt in 1982, after which it was run by various business enterprises from the mid-1980s through the early 1990s. Ironically, perhaps, it finally became of part of the company that had been its undoing, Mattel, in 1997.

Choose your running lane carefully…Scylla or Charybdis? Hit the link if you have never heard of these two in classical mythology or a hit song by the Police (For my 80's brethren). What y'all think?

Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy faces a six-game suspension by the NFL if his guilty verdict for domestic violence isn't overturned on appeal. The NFL is implementing immediately a six-game suspension for a first offense on domestic violence and a lifetime ban for a second. A second-time offender may petition for reinstatement after one year, but there is no assurance it will be granted. The new measures were announced to league owners in a letter from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a copy of which was obtained by ESPN.

This week's results for New Jersey's 12 congressional districts - 11 landslide victories and one 8% margin - were predetermined months ago, the product of a colossal error by the reapportionment commission's Independent member.
John Farmer, currently the Dean of Rutgers Law School-Newark, has among the most distinguished credentials of practically any other lawyer in the State of New Jersey.
Former Attorney General.
Former Chief Counsel.
Former Federal Prosecutor.
Former Counsel to the 9/11 Commission; and most recently
Former Tiebreaker to the New Jersey Redistricting Commission – a position to which he was appointed with the backing of both political parties.
Despite Farmer's impressive and distinguished success in virtually every other endeavor of public service, New Jerseyans can only hope that the "former" title attached to his position as a redistricting tiebreaker will remain forever permanent.
In other words, Dean Farmer should never, ever be permitted to be a neutral redistricting tiebreaker in any redistricting exercise going forward. For a man of his stature, he shockingly was a complete disaster who, as Tuesday demonstrated, selected a partisan gerrymandered map successfully designed to thwart competition and voter choice.
Here is the background. New Jersey lost a seat in Congress because the most recent U.S. Census Data showed that the State did not grow as fast as the rest of the nation. Under the New Jersey Constitution, a Redistricting Commission comprised of both Democrats and Republicans is charged with determining how the loss of that seat should be addressed. Farmer was appointed to the Independent, tiebreaking member of the Commission.
Most nonpartisan observers predicted Farmer would bring both sides to the middle with a fair, compact, and competitive map and – to make up for the lost district – would place a Democrat & Republican together in a new "fair fight," toss-up competitive district. That would not have been an ideal outcome for Democrats since New Jersey is the 12th most Democratic state in the nation, but it was a result that at least would have been defensible. That did not occur.
Having worked on redistricting in one capacity or another in more than 30 other states in the nation for over 18 years, I can conclusively say that Farmer displayed the most egregious lack of understanding of the redistricting process that I ever encountered. Consider the following:
Dean Farmer had a choice between two maps. Either adopt a map that would virtually guarantee that Democrats lose a congressional seat in New Jersey – or approve a "fair fight" map that would pit an incumbent Democrat vs. an incumbent Republican in a true 50/50 competitive district.
In a spectacular and unprecedented error of judgment, Farmer selected a map crafted to guarantee Republicans & the Tea Party would not lose a seat.
Farmer should be ashamed of his decision which was nothing short of a disgrace and, to be sure, a black mark on an otherwise distinguished career.
Unfortunately, Farmer's vote appears to be an attempt at redemption and to look balanced after playing a part in the approval of a strong Democratic legislative map last year. We thought Farmer's sense of fairness would have insulated him from Republican pressures to settle that score but, quite obviously, it did not.
John Farmer made one of the worst displays of judgment associated with redistricting that I have ever witnessed in over 18 years of working on redistricting issues, something New Jerseyans will be forced to live with for the next ten years. He should never be allowed by the State of New Jersey to do so again.
Tom Bonier is a nationally recognized redistricting expert, having spent much of the past 18 years working on maps in states across the country. He is a partner and co-founder of Clarity Campaign Labs in Washington, DC.

The only phones Betty and Art Sarlin have are cell phones. They depend on the phones to talk to friends and call their doctors.
"We can't even call 911 without our cell phone," Betty Sarlin said.
Shortly after the Sarlins switched from Verizon to T-mobile, they couldn't rely on their phones. The calls would consistently drop. But they say T-Mobile promised it would get better.
"They told us that they are putting in two new towers," Sarlin said. "They're going in and buying out another company and it will be much better. It kept on going until it got to the point where every time we lifted up the phone, we got cut off."
Sarlin says a T-mobile technician told her she lives in a dead zone. "He said, "you're not the first to call. We've had many calls like this, that the service is terrible is Sun City Center."
But when Sarlin tried to cancel the rest of her 2-year-contract, T-Mobile demanded a $400 cancellation fee. So the Sarlins turned to 8-on-your-side, and we called the company to find out why they're selling service in this area if they can't provide it, why they were forcing the Sarlins to pay for service they don't have.'
A T-mobile spokesman sent an email that said: "After investigating with our engineering team, we confirmed coverage in this area at 2G service levels. The company is investigating and considering options for future network improvements in this area."
The same day we called with questions, T-mobile called the Sarlins with a change of heart. The $400 fee will be waived.
"You were here that morning, and that evening, I got a call at 5:45. "Something big happened, and it was you coming there, I'm sure," Sarlin said.
T-Mobile says potential customers can view a coverage map on their website that shows their strongest and weakest areas of coverage. The company said it doesn't guarantee coverage in all areas and that it is working to improve coverage in Sun City Center.Related Stories: 8 on your side stories

Gus Ruelas, Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — California men's basketball coach Mike Montgomery said Friday he was diagnosed with bladder cancer and had surgery last week that has left him cancer-free.
Montgomery made the surprise announcement at Pac-12 media day in Los Angeles after first informing his fellow coaches.
The school announced Montgomery's surgery on Oct. 19, but didn't disclose any details about it.
"I went from having high-grade bladder cancer to being totally cancer-free at this juncture," he said.
The 64-year-old coach resisted going into detail about his health crisis, but he said he was diagnosed last month while a doctor was checking on diverticulitis, a condition in which the inner lining of the intestine becomes inflamed or infected.
"There was something that wasn't supposed to be in there," Montgomery said. "Three months ago he wouldn't have found it. Six months from now, you would have been done. If you've got an ache or a pain, get checked.
"Through a series of extremely fortuitous events, we were able to get in, get the little polyp, tumor, whatever you want to call it, and get it out. Everything since that time has been all clear."
Montgomery said he will return full-time to running the 24th-ranked Golden Bears' program on Monday "much to the players' chagrin."
Senior guard Jorge Gutierrez said the team feels more connected to Montgomery since learning of his condition.
"He opened up a little bit more, so that helps us to relate to him more," he said.
Montgomery said he's lost weight and is focused on regaining his strength, but has no physical limitations. He was relatively blithe in telling the media about the experience and only briefly turned serious on the subject.
"It's scary," he said. "You go from being relatively on top of your game to no longer being in charge. I'm extremely fortunate it went the way it did. Probably adds a little perspective to your life."
Southern California coach Kevin O'Neill was aware of Montgomery's condition.
"It's great to see him healthy. When he was doing surgery, he was cracking jokes the whole time," he said. "Everybody's prayers are with Mike. Not a more respected coach in the whole country, not a guy that's done a better job at so many levels in the whole country."
UCLA coach Ben Howland added, "What a story. You just never know."
Montgomery enters his fourth season at Cal, picked by the league's media to finish second to UCLA in the newly realigned Pac-12. He previously coached for 18 years at Stanford, leading the Cardinal to the 1998 Final Four and being named league coach of the year four times. He left Stanford to coach the NBA's Golden State Warriors for two seasons before returning to the college ranks, where he has 611 career wins, putting him in the top 25 among active coaches.

Vox AC30HW2 Hand Wired Greenback 2x12 Combo AmpStock code: 89797
Rollover image to zoom in View large Image
Out of Stock
- 30-watt all-tube guitar amplifier with 12-inch Celestion G12M Green Back speaker
- Hand-wired turret board construction
- Birch-ply cabinets
- Three ECC83/12AX7 preamp tubes, EL84 power tube quartet, GZ34 rectifier
- Matched Ruby Tubes
- Two-channel design
There may never have been an amp boasting such a lofty and pure sound in the entire history of VOX. The VOX Hand-Wired Series relies on the painstaking technique of turret board hand-wiring – a method requiring a high level of skill and craftsmanship – is used, resulting in wiring that's beautiful in its artistry, ensuring an efficient signal path with minimal loss and no restriction in amplitude. In the Hand-Wired Series, tubes, transformers, speakers, chassis, and custom parts all join together in an ideal state to deliver the richest and most powerful sonic experience – the ultimate amp. Not bound by tradition, the VOX Hand-Wired Series also provides a variety of new functions that keep pace with the needs of today's artists. Offering a rich variety of tonal shadings and a broad model lineup, the enormous potential of the VOX Hand-Wired Series will reveal itself in any musical scenario.
Constructed for ideal sound and power
Turret board hand-wired amps are every amp designer's ideal and every guitarist's dream, representing the ultimate in amplifier construction. Hand-wired amps are assembled entirely by hand, requiring staggering levels of technical expertise and care; and as such are often exclusive to today's limited productions or high-end models. The VOX Hand-Wired Series pairs these demanding methods with rigorously-selected custom parts. These premium components are wired with a truly artistic degree of perfection. The result is that the subtle nuances of the guitarist's touch, the guitar's audio signature, and the natural character of the vacuum tubes are passed with perfect transparency to the speakers.
True all-tube design – preamp, power amp, and rectifier
The VOX Hand-Wired Series is a true all-tube amplifier, employing vacuum tubes in the preamp, power amp, and rectifier. The preamp uses three classic ECC83/12AX7 tubes. Depending on the amplifier wattage, the power stage uses either a quartet (AC30 models) or a duet (AC15 models) of EL84 tubes. The VOX Hand Wired Series use a tube rectifier. The AC30 models feature a GZ34 rectifier tube; while the AC15 models use an EZ81 tube. These three elements, when combined, provide the vibrant, organic and unmistakable tone that is the heart of the classic VOX sound.
Two-channel design: Top Boost and Normal
The VOX Hand-Wired Series preserves the traditional VOX two-channel design, providing a Top Boost channel and a Normal channel. True to form, the Top Boost channel delivers the legendary AC30 sound with a fully interactive tone stack. VOX has also added a new and unique HOT/COOL switch. The COOL setting produces the orthodox Top Boost sound, while the HOT setting bypasses the tone circuitry altogether to create a more pure sound to achieve richer gain. A VFS1 footswitch is included with your VOX Hand-Wired Series amp, so you can quickly change between COOL and HOT, right at those moments when you need an extra dose of drive. The controls for the Normal channel consist simply of a volume knob, giving you a cleaner and more natural tube sound. In addition, this channel offers a BRIGHT switch that, when engaged, adds emphasis to the upper harmonics of the tone.

The Sanctuary of St. John Paul II
The brand-new Sanctuary of St. John Paul II — built on the outskirts of Kraków, where he served as archbishop — is an impressive place to visit.
When you travel around Europe, you rarely see new churches. And the old churches you see often feel more dead than alive…more for tourists than for worshippers. But in Poland, churches are alive with the faithful.
In small Polish towns, there's a strong tradition of building huge, architecturally daring churches as a sign of both civic pride and deep respect for their Catholic faith. Particularly during communism (when atheism was the official state religion), building a bold new church was a statement. The architecture of these modern houses of worship sometimes feels more slapdash and on the cheap than the great churches of an earlier age (which were often built over centuries). But the spirit that fills them is powerful.
If you can't see the video below, watch it on YouTube.
Kraków Celebrates Hometown Boy St. John Paul II
The man who would become St. John Paul II grew up, studied, and served as a priest and archbishop in Kraków, Poland. And today, on the heels of his sainthood, the city is ramping up celebrations of the person many consider to be the greatest Pole in history.
Imagine you're Polish in the 1970s. Your country was devastated by World War II, and has struggled under an oppressive regime ever since. Food shortages are epidemic. Lines stretch around the block even to buy a measly scrap of bread. Life is bleak, oppressive, and seems hopeless. Then someone who speaks your language — someone you've admired your entire life, and one of the only people you've seen successfully stand up to the regime — becomes one of the world's most influential people. A Pole like you is the leader of a billion Catholics. He makes you believe that the impossible can happen. He says to you again and again: "Have no fear." And you begin to believe it.
Many people (including Mikhail Gorbachev) credit Pope John Paul II for the collapse of Eastern European communism. His compatriots — even the relatively few atheists and agnostics — saw John Paul II both as the greatest hero of their people…and as a member of the family, like a kindly grandfather.
A speedy nine years after his death, Karol Wojtyła was made a saint. And today, when you travel in Poland, you'll find St. John Paul II wherever you go.
The John Paul II Center is at a huge new church at the edge of Kraków, consecrated in 2013 and dedicated to St. John Paul II.
The church is big and dazzling, with art in the lower sanctuary that highlights St. John Paul II's illustrious ministry.
St. John Paul II seems to have a chapel dedicated to him in every Polish church. Seeing a man we all grew up with actually up on the wall, glorified with the apostles and other saints, you feel we all experienced the charismatic presence of an historic figure who will be honored for ages to come.
Going Underground (Literally) in Kraków
Kraków's excellent Rynek Underground Museum — situated directly below the Main Market Square — offers an intimate look at the city 500 years ago. In this clip, I stroll with my local guide, Anna, down a medieval street, past the remains of a series of shops.
If you can't see the video below, watch it on YouTube.
500 Years Ago and 12 Feet Beneath Kraków's Main Market Square
One of many great new museums in Kraków is the excellent Rynek Underground Museum. When the Main Market Square was renovated, they found so much of archaeological value that they opened a major museum right on the site. In this video clip, my guide explains that even though we're 12 feet underground, this was the street level of medieval Kraków.

Kraków is Fun
I'm wrapping up my summer travels in Poland. And my first stop is Kraków.
Kraków is easily Poland's best destination: a beautiful, old-fashioned city buzzing with history, enjoyable sights, tourists, and college students. Even though the country's capital moved from here to Warsaw 400 years ago, Kraków remains Poland's cultural and intellectual center. Of all of the Eastern European cities laying claim to the boast "the next Prague," Kraków is for real.
The Old Town, within Krakow's medieval walls, converges on one of the most charismatic squares in Europe: the Main Market Square.
Kazimierz is the historic Jewish Quarter of Kraków. Once upon a time, the majority of all Jewish people lived in Poland. And Kraków was their cultural capital. While tourists come to see the historic synagogues and cemeteries of the Jewish Quarter during the day, throngs of young clubbers clog the Kazimierz streets after dark. The Kazimierz market square retains the gritty flavor of the town before tourism and gentrification. And countless bohemian-chic restaurants make Kazimierz a destination for dinner.
For a vodka education in Kraków — complete with as much tasting as you'd like — drop by Staropolskie Trunki ("Old Polish Drinks," right along the main drag at Florianska 20). It's a friendly little place with a long bar and countless local vodkas and liquors — all open and ready to be tasted with a cheery local barista to talk you through the experience. You'll get five different tastes for about $3, with a fun explanation that amounts to a private tour.
Berlin at Night
Every time I decide to get out and see a great city after dark, I'm impressed by how different it is after hours. And Berlin is no exception.
After a long day of filming our new TV episode on Berlin, I decided to take my own audio tour — the newest self-guided tour on our free Rick Steves' Audio Europe app. It's fun to actually give these tours a whirl after we produce them. (The tour works great. But I took notes on the gaps where I needed to pause my iPhone. Now I'll go home and edit the tour so that it can be done in real time, without pausing. If you have our app, remember to update the tours periodically so you don't miss the fixes we make.)
Berlin is a city with a dark history and many memorials. In about an hour, you can visit 8 or 10 powerful memorials across the old center of Berlin. Experiencing them at night on this trip, I realized this is a great way to see the city.
I enjoyed standing before the Brandenburg Gate, gloriously floodlit and without all the commercial commotion that surrounds it throughout the day. I pondered the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe with only the security guard sharing the moment with me. And I stood over the spot where the Nazis ceremonially burned the booked that didn't fit their ideology.
It was on this square (now called Bebelplatz) in 1933 that staff and students from the university threw 20,000 newly forbidden books (authored by Einstein, Hemmingway, Freud, and T.S. Elliot, among others) into a huge bonfire on the orders of the Nazi propaganda minister, Joseph Goebbels. In fact, Goebbels himself tossed books onto the fire, condemning writers to the flames. He declared, "The era of extreme Jewish intellectualism has come to an end, and the German revolution has again opened the way for the true essence of being German."
The "burning of the books memorial" on Bebelplatz is a glass pane in the cobbles with a room of shelves under the square. During the day, it's full of glare and commotion, so the experience never quite works. But after dark, it's quiet, and the empty shelves are hauntingly bare and beautifully lit. The contrast between that and the nighttime cityscape above is quite evocative. I've stood over this memorial many times in broad daylight and never really been moved. Finally, tonight, it grabbed me.
Get out at night and just be in a great city. Have you noticed that difference I'm clueing into in other great cities?
The historic Brandenburg Gate (1791) was the grandest — and is the last survivor — of 14 gates in Berlin's old city wall. The gate was the symbol of Prussian Berlin, and later the symbol of a divided Berlin. Today, it's once again the centerpiece of a great and united capital.
Being alone with the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe after dark, I thought perhaps this is the way the architect who designed it wanted it to be experienced.
Standing on Bebelplatz, named for the notorious Nazi book burning, you look down through a glass panel and see a room of empty bookshelves.
360 Degrees of Berlin from the Reichstag Dome
Hiking around and around up the long ramp inside the glass dome of Germany's striking Reichstag, I was heading for the summit. Along the way I enjoyed 360 degrees of Berlin. Here's a little tour.
Berlin's Reichstag
Germany's parliament building, or Reichstag, is a must-see attraction in Berlin. With its motto, "To the German People," it's the symbolic heart of German democracy.
The Reichstag has a short yet dramatic history. When inaugurated in the 1890s, the new parliament building was dismissed by the emperor as a "chatting house for monkeys." But at the end of World War I, the German Republic was proclaimed from here. Then, in 1933, a mysterious fire gutted the building, giving Chancellor Hitler a convenient opportunity to blame the communists for the blaze in order to consolidate his hold on power. As World War II drew to a close, the Nazis made their last stand here. Imagine: Desperate Germans fighting Russians on its rooftop. After 1945, the bombed-out building stood like a ghost through the Cold War. Then, with reunification, the parliament moved back to Berlin. This historic ruin was rebuilt with a modern element: a striking glass dome.
A walkway winds all the way to the top of that dome. A cone of mirrors reflects natural light into the legislative chamber far below. As you spiral up, survey the city. The views are marvelous.
But for Germans, mindful of their dark 20th-century history, the view that matters most is inward, looking down, literally over the shoulders of their legislators. The architecture comes with a poignant message: The people are determined keep a wary eye on their government.
We got great footage of the Reichstag, and this is one of the dimensions of the new Berlin that I'm thrilled to include in our new TV show on Berlin — the fastest-changing city in Europe. Stay tuned, as we have a dozen new shows coming to your public television station starting in about a month.
One of the great sights in Berlin is its history-stained Reichstag building, capped by an inspirational glass dome.
Tourists are welcome to marvel at the inside of the Reichstag dome.
I've long marveled at the notion of German citizens keeping a symbolic eye on their government by climbing the dome and literally looking down over the shoulders of their legislators at work. This poster, which I photographed on my way out of the building, gave me the view I wished we had for our TV cameras.
Berlin's Hauptbahnhof
Berlin's Hauptbahnhof — the city's huge and thundering main train station — is one of Europe's mightiest, with several levels of tracks serving over a thousand trains a day and a vast shopping mall of commercial activity. While a massive public expense, Germans consider infrastructure like this a good investment for both business and for everyday people. Just being here, for a train enthusiast like me, gets me all giddy. What train stations do that for you?
Berlin's Vibrant Prenzlauer Berg
For the first time ever, I've come to Berlin and didn't even venture into former West Berlin. The energy is in the eastern part of the city…and the best evening and eating scene is in the Prenzlauer Berg neighborhood.
"Der Berg," as Berliners call it, was largely untouched during World War II, but its buildings — giant Industrial Age workers' flats — slowly rotted away under the communists. Then, after The Wall fell, it was overrun first by artists and anarchists, and then by laid-back hipsters, energetic young families, and clever entrepreneurs who breathed life back into its classic old apartment blocks, deserted factories, and long-forgotten breweries.
Years of rent control kept things affordable for its bohemian residents. But now landlords are free to charge what the market will bear, and the vibe is changing. This is ground zero for Berlin's baby boom: Tattooed and pierced young moms and dads, who've joined the modern rat race without giving up their alternative flair, push their youngsters in designer strollers past trendy boutiques and restaurants. Most visitors find themselves eating and sleeping in this part of the city…and for good reason.
Here's a little clip capturing today's energy in Prenzlauer Berg.

Scarcity, Conflicts, and Cooperation: Essays in the Political and Institutional Economics of Development
AbstractThis wide-ranging review of some of the major issues in development economics focuses on the role of economic and political institutions. Drawing on the latest findings in institutional economics and political economy, Pranab Bardhan, a leader in the field of development economics, offers a relatively nontechnical discussion of current thinking on these issues from the viewpoint of poor countries, synthesizing recent research and reflecting on where we stand today. The institutional framework of an economy defines and constrains the opportunities of individuals, determines the business climate, and shapes the incentives and organizations for collective action on the part of communities; Pranab Bardhan finds the institutional framework to be relatively weak in many poor countries. Institutional failures, weak accountability mechanisms, and missed opportunities for cooperative problem-solving become the themes of the book, with the role of distributive conflicts in the persistence of dysfunctional institutions a common thread. Special issues taken up include the institutions for securing property rights and resolving coordination failures; the structural basis of power; commitment devices and political accountability; the complex relationship between democracy and poverty (with examples from India, where both have been durable); decentralization and devolution of power; persistence of corruption; ethnic conflicts; and impediments to collective action. Formal models are largely avoided, except in two chapters where Bardhan briefly introduces new models to elucidate currently under-researched areas. Other chapters review existing models, emphasizing the essential ideas rather than the formal details. Thus the book will be valuable not only for economists but also for social scientists and policymakers.
