Franco resisted bid by Pope Paul VI to end Spanish government's role in nominating bishops
Catholic World News - November 08, 2011
Pope Paul VI tried to persuade General Francisco Franco to renounce the Spanish government's privilege of nominating Catholic bishops, the Vatican newspaper reports. The Pontiff was unable to sway Franco, and Spain did not formally renounce that privilege until 1976, under King Juan Carlos I.
After the Second Vatican Council, Pope Paul sought to amend several Church-state agreements that had given government leaders the right to put forward candidates for episcopal ordination. In 1968 he asked General Franco to surrender that right. Franco said that he was sympathetic toward the idea, but cited his own moral obligation to provide for the moral welfare of his country.
In his subsequent correspondence with the Pontiff and conversations with papal representatives, Franco frequently asked for Vatican intervention to curb the Catholic critics of his regime, L'Osservatore Romano discloses.

Step Up 3D
PG-13, 107m., 2010
Cast: Adam G. Santi, Alyson Stoner, Rick Marabi, Sharni Vinson with a whole bunch of  break and back up dancers
Directed by Jon Chu
Step Up 3D is pure soda pop entertainment, where between the carbonation bubbles of flashy dance sequences you get that sugar crash of acting and story.
More after the jump…
From what other people have told me, this is a continuation of the last Step Up – or The Streets, as some call it. NYU freshmen Moose and Camille (played with that Disney whimsy by Adam G. Santi and Alyson Stoner) from the previous Step Up installments meet up with a super hyper dancer runaway group named the Pirates, led by Luke (Rick Malarabi, who looks like Channing Tatum from a far).
What of course follows is a dance competition with high stakes between the Pirates and a rival dance group named the Samurai, led by former Pirate Julian (played by Joe Slaughter, who makes Vanilla Ice's acting in Cool As Ice almost look like Brando).
The story is not important, the acting especially by Malarabi and many of the dancers is just there to connect the dance sequences, and even the last dance sequence which brings everything but the glitter polished kitchen sink doesn't matter, especially when the Pirates put on a pre-Tron Legacy 3D light show dance number – nothing else can top that!
Sweat, dust, water, and yes, even Slurpee juice is thrown at your face in 3D. The problem with all these dance 3D sequences is that after the first battle the gimmick has warn out its welcome and we wait for that ending – one at which these characters have arrived time and time again.
These are the movies that create a quick and light time at the movies from the Busby Berkeley dances that our grandparents watched, to the Frankie Avalon and Annette Funcello beach parties of the 60s. Step Up 3D doesn't need any sort of critical response and really depends on the audience. The audience I was with gave me the best time it could by shouting and laughing at the movie. So, job break dance done. I'm out.
Grade: C

Excerpt below:
The Crickett is just one of many child-sized rifles on the market and is sold with the tag line 'My First Rifle.'
It comes in a number of child-friendly barrel designs and colors, including hot pink for little girls. A host of accessories are also available, like story books and a gun-toting beanie baby of the rifle's mascot, a cartoonish cricket.
I saw that, it's horrific they think keeping a rifle anywhere other than a gun locker is a good idea (I'd say about letting kids use guns, but I've target shot .22s since my early teens). I was half expecting the NRA to say if she had one it wouldn't have happened. Americans are just not right when it comes to weapons

GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- Morocco has pledged to give $500 million to support reconciliation between Palestinian factions, a reconciliation committee official said Sunday.
Abdul Aziz Qudaih, a spokesman for the social reconciliation committee, said Morocco would donate the money to the committee once a unity government has been formed, without giving further details.
The group met on Sunday and confirmed that it is ready to start work once Hamas and Fatah have agreed on forming a unity government.
Both factions must end all political detentions, Qudaih added.
The social reconciliation committee aims to pay compensation to those injured or with damaged homes as a result of the rival political violence between Hamas and Fatah, which split the West Bank and Gaza Strip into separate governments in 2007.

As the party enters strange man's "home" they are able to find out the secret about the dark green crystal. They learn that it is called the Avun and that it and the stranger, whos name is Faris, are both from the future. They discover that the two green ships they encountered before are Sith destroyers from the future. Apparently Faris was testing a new drive system that folds space when the two Ships attacked him. During the fight the Avun folded space but with the combat going on around it they all came out in the time just after the Empire was founded.
During their talk a ship crashed near the array and when they go out to see it they see the only person on the ship survived and is coming their way. They lear the person is Tara Starroy and that her and Steele know each other but are not on best terms.
The part then heads to the locations that Faris asks and he attaches the Avun to the Space Sloop. After sending out a single the two Sith ships appear and attack. The party is able to defeat them and Faris is able to leave. But as he slips into his time he says one last thing "There is a problem, the mass is way off. I this something else came…" and then he is gone.
The party now head to Terminus and Mikel is contacted by Jaster about another job.

Anton Rippon: Happy 30th, breakfast TV...even though I've never watched you
Posted: January 16, 2013|
THERE are many things that I've never got round to doing. Watching breakfast television is one. This week, I was surprised to learn I've now been managing to avoid breakfast telly for exactly 30 years. It was at 6.30am on January 17, 1983, that the BBC's new Breakfast Time programme first aired.
Writing in The Spectator, Richard Ingrams said: "There is no earthly reason why anyone of intelligence should want to watch it." Two weeks later, the rival TV-am went on air and was saved from financial ruin only when Greg Dyke hired a puppet – Roland Rat – to read the news. So Ingrams might have had a point.
However, it wasn't a misguided belief that I was intelligent that prevented me from tuning in. I already had enough distractions while getting ready for work. I didn't need any more.
Television demands your complete attention. You can never stray from it. Looking at the telly while negotiating the bones in my kipper has always been a step too far. I've never understood why people try to do both when the wireless in the background does nicely. That's the thing about the wireless. You can do other things while you're listening to it – move around, leave the room even, if it's turned up loud enough.
In those days, we lived in Overdale Road and I'd started freelancing out of an office in Friar Gate. Most days I walked. Occasionally, I caught the corporation bus that came past our house.
Tommy Powell was always on the top deck. For some years, my favourite Rams footballer of all time had been working in the accounts department of the Derby Telegraph. He was a lovely man was Tommy, although if you'd incorrectly added up your weekly expenses claim, then he was capable of a sarcastic edge. We got on well, though, and he once told me that he'd never bothered with breakfast television either.
We liked living in Overdale Road, where life had apparently continued unchanged and unchallenged for decades. A bit of 1930s suburban England still flourishing into the 1980s. A shop on almost every corner and a decent pub – the Mafeking Hotel complete with bowling green – just around the corner. If you hadn't made your escape by last orders, you could be trapped in the "Maf" until the small hours.
The neighbours were a universally grand lot. Most had lived there for ever and we knew everyone by name. Alec and Babs McWilliams lived next door. Alec, a director of Rolls-Royce, was a great host. It was impossible to nip round for five minutes. Once you stepped on to their welcome mat, the telly was switched off, the wine came out and you were there for the evening.
It was the same across the road at Haydn and Carrie Atterbury's. Haydn was one of Britain's leading harpists who'd played with the Halle Orchestra. A glass of port, a large cigar and a private recital was the order of the evening there.
In 1987, after 11 very happy years there, we left Overdale Road. Alec and Babs, and Haydn and Carrie, have all passed on. Almost certainly, I should imagine, without ever having watched one minute of breakfast television between them.

I haven't posted to my blog in awhile, preferring instead to post my pictures to Facebook. However, it seems a lot harder to tell the stories behind the pictures on Facebook, so while things have slowed down a little for the winter I am going to go back and visit some of my favorite images and share the story behind them and why they are so special to me.
I'll start with a portrait of Megan, a gorgeous bride whose wedding I shot in October. She was getting ready at her fiance's house but things weren't going according to plan. She was running a little late and we didn't get a chance to shoot any portraits of her at home where she was getting ready. As soon as she was ready we had to dash to the church for the ceremony, leaving me with no time at all. We arrived at South Fork Baptist Church in Hodgenville and I ran around like a crazy person shooting detail shots and a few of the guys finishing up their preparation. Once I had those images safely in the camera I went looking for Megan. I found her relaxing with her bridesmaids in a Sunday school classroom. It was only five minutes before the start of the ceremony, but she had had a little time to relax with her friends in a Sunday school classroom and was looking very calm and beautiful.
A classroom is not usually the ideal place to shoot portraits but there wasn't a lot of time to go anywhere else. I did noticed a north facing window with some nice light, and knew I could use that to make a lovely picture. I had Megan sit on the window sill so she was as close as she could be to the window, and I took a series of images. The one below was my favorite of the series, and I think it looks great in color and in high-key black and white. I can't decide which I like better Both versions are posted below. Enjoy!

Itaewon's Diverse and Delicious Restaurant Scene
|From Itaewon's Delicious Mix
The sidewalks around Itaewon Station (이태원역) are embedded with brass plaques. Each depicts a country, its flag and how to say "hello" in their respective language. In Seoul's multicultural hamlet of Itaewon (이태원), such information is actually useful. After years as a seedy playground for U.S. soldiers, Itaewon's diverse and delicious restaurant scene has made it Seoul's most cosmopolitan culinary scene.
To celebrate Itaewon's unique mosaic, every year local officials and merchants host the Itaewon Global Village Festival. This past October, Yongsan-gu district chief Seong Jang-hyeon kicked-off the ten-day event by telling an enthusiastic crowd, "We are opening this global festival so that people from all over the world can meet and communicate with each other." In-costume, the festival's participants resembled an exaggerated version of daily life in Itaewon, a Seoul neighborhood that's been synonymous with "foreign" for decades, if not centuries. In fact, some etymologists think the word "Itaewon" alludes to foreign soldiers who stayed behind after a failed 16th-century invasion.
|Bacon cheeseburger at Maloney's Pub & Grill form Itaewon's Delicious Mix
Today's invaders, however, come armed with foreign flavors. Itaewon is probably the only neighborhood in the city where a few meters could separate a Turkish restaurant, an Irish pub and Comedor, the boisterous hole-in-the-wall serving six types of Paraguayan empanadas.
In recent years these culinary odd couples (and three-somes) have made Itaewon the destination for local foodies. And yet, this wasn't always the case. When Canadian Wayne Gold arrived in 1997, the neighborhood's foreign options were a Western grill, a Thai restaurant and a few bad Italian eateries. What's more, the neighborhood was better known for vice than vittles. Gold recalls, "Back then, 'Hooker Hill' was the place to party. Every Friday and Saturday until dawn it was packed with [U.S.] soldiers and [English] teachers. We'd drink on the streets and there would inevitably be fights."
|Vatos Urban Tacos from Itaewon's Delicious Mix
By the mid-2000s, however, the scene was already changing. In 2006, Gold and three friends opened the Irish pub, The Wolfhound. Around the same time, the stretch of asphalt behind the Hamilton Hotel was showing early signs of what was to come – Itaewon's diverse and delicious restaurant scene.
|Korea's only Bulgarian restaurant, Zelen, from Itaewon's Delicious Mix
Today, the alley is anchored by delicious destinations such as Zelen, Korea's only Bulgarian eatery. Customers to the green-themed restaurant can enjoy delectable Palmeni Chushki, baked peppers stuffed with rice and minced meat and topped with yogurt and fresh dill. This being eclectic Itaewon, you can wash it down with Mukuzani wine from former Soviet Georgia or a "Jäger Bomb." One block west, OKitchen cooks up impeccable fusion fare, like a basil pesto orecchiette with ingredients grown on the Korean-Japanese owners' Dobongsan mountain farm.
|Impeccable presentation at OKitchen from Itaewon's Delicious Mix
Joe McPherson, founding editor of the ZenKimchi Korean Food Journal, calls Itaewon an "incubator" for ethnic restaurants and the neighborhood where restaurateurs test new ingredients to Korea. He names Spanish tapas, Brazilian churrascaria and homebrewed beer as the fickle scene's latest trends.
|Tartine's tarts and cakes from Itaewon's Delicious Mix
Just like the menus, Itaewon's clientele is changing. With the neighborhood's bad old days behind it, a generation of globally-minded Koreans now outnumber foreigners at many establishments. On a recent Sunday evening, the 22-year-old Uikwon Lee was among them. A student who has traveled and lived overseas, he enjoys Itaewon's unique mix. He explains, "You can make foreign friends and eat various countries' foods. It feels exotic."
|Copacabana Grill from Itaewon's Delicious Mix
This past spring, a similar sentiment was echoed by hit single, "Itaewon Freedom" by the duo UV and producer Park Jin-young. Spread virally over social media, the video's silly bokgo or retro motif featured Koreans with fake Afros singing about "a new world" where "everyone meets in Itaewon."
While some lament Itaewon's gentrification, The Wolfhound's owner/operator Gold welcomes the richer mix. Koreans now comprise about 60 percent of his weekday patrons, and he says the pub's tightly packed tables help break any cross-cultural ice between his customers. In short order, he says, "people talk and interact and everyone has a good time."
As Korea's foreign population now exceeds one million, the country has entered its multicultural era. Shifting from "Hermit Kingdom" to an international community will come with bumps in the road. But at least in Itaewon, breaking bread has proven to be a delicious way to break down cultural barriers..

Soloed up to join her in cave, where she was suffering the worst hot aches ever. Pete did second pitch and I the last one. Traverse out from belay was a bit marginal and the ice above wasn't taking ice screws, so ended up effectively soloing that pitch too. A hard-won tick but a great adventure in challenging conditions.Peter Metcalfe - AltLd - 01/Mar/15 with Katie Frances, Pete Glasper

Lead P1 up to ice cave. How long will those pitons last?
The second pitch has a possible belay on the left across a dry slab that involves a horrible traverse. Better with 60m ropes to carry on straight over the ice bulge to a better belay on easier ground at the finish. Down the Ledge Route. My first Scottish IV lead - excluding Tower Ridge (which is different). Oddly after my first Scottish V lead! davidbird63 - AltLd O/S - 25/Feb/15 with Zep Mouris, David Adcock

Was glad I got the 2nd pitch, as the 1st and 3rd were a little thin/ rotten in places! (I made Stefan do the rotten bits...)
End of 2nd pitch (traverse to Belay) now quite thin, with lots if 'freshly departed' ice.AndrewJamesCherry - AltLd O/S - 21/Feb/15 with stef morris
A late afternoon ascent, glad I didn't have the lead for the last 20ft, there wasn't much left. The rest of the route was great.Shaw Brown - AltLd - 21/Feb/15 with Loz

Abbed off from the second belay as we'd run out of time. First pitch had some rotten ice. I led the second which was solid apart from the traverse to the belay which was very sketchy (ice had melted off the slab).Will Smith - AltLd dnf - 20/Feb/15 with Paul Davies, Rob

Got up early to be the first on the route. The ice is in great conditions but it is very stepped out. Took a variation of the line at the end of the second pitch and went straight up unhooked steep ice rather than heading left along the line of hooks.alastairbegley - AltLd O/S - 14/Feb/15 with Jo

The weather was full-on but the route was in good conditions. First pitch felt easy due to soft ice. Ice on the slab vibrated from our axes and crampons. The cave needed some excavation. Pitches 2 and 3 had proper ice and were awesome even if gusts nearly blew us off the face. It took some time to find protection for the top belay because there was so much snow.

Climbed rather out of condition, so the first half of pitch 1 was scratchy, insecure climbing on rock: well done Tom. Next pitch was great, but much thinner than in the photos I've seen: stepping round on to the steep ice wall on poor axes was a bit hairy, but made up for by superb exposure to the (2 rusty pegs + a nut) belay. The final short wall rounded it off nicely: a great salvage of a day so claggy we couldn't find the Comb!andybuckley - AltLd - 07/Mar/10 with Tom Whipple

There's nothing we love more at MOO than a round up of beautiful photos on Business Cards and MiniCards! So we've put together our current ten favourites for your viewing pleasure.

New York based wedding photographer Omar Carter made the move from amateur to professional snapper when a friend enlisted his services for an engagement shoot – and looking at his MiniCards, it's not hard to see why.

Michelle McMahon's vibrant style is perfectly presented on her MiniCards – they're great individually, and as you can see, they pack a bright visual punch when they're side by side.

And finally…..
These cards are memorable without any added extras. But the fact they're printed on MOO green paper makes them extra-environmentally friendly too – what's not to like?

Thanks MOOsters – keep up the good work. We love seeing photos of your cards, so keep uploading them to the MOO Flickr pool and Facebook group!
O M G ……they are all amazing. I can't compete with this! Makes me want to hang up my lens and shut the shop! Thanks moo! Awesome pics.
I'm hurt that you didn't post my card
I love the cards you posted, I just got my first set of cards and Love them and everyone asks where i got them done and of course i say MOO…
I love my new cards. I've had meni cards for a year and this is my first batch of standard.
I would love to see my cards here, too. Just like the "big kids". ;0)
Fred Levy's card with goats on a cable spool is marvelous! It perfectly encapsulates the essence of goatness.
The dog cards are splendid, as well.
Talent. Plus moo.
I get a 'Wow' response from my mini cards every time I hand one over. I'm a bike tester not a photographer but the cropped letterbox shots I use from my lens wingman Russell Burton encapsulate all the varied aspects of what my work involves perfectly.
Cool cards.
I have used Moo twice now for my photography cards as I can design the front AND back to how I want it.
Me too!
Next round maybe you could make a roundup of non-pros
Love Moo cards! You guys make me look good.
Hey I'm Hurt Too
Do you have a solution for composite cards (like model agences) for photographers?
Thank you
I converted to Moo mini cards last year (If they are still in the system I'm happy to share) and everyone loves the card quality and print colours. I'm sure lots of friends are now using Moo. I would recommend the quality to everyone.
Very, very inspiring. Look for another order from me soon – as soon as my new website designer gets finished, and I can coordinate everything. <3
my mini cards in moo's top ten??
I love love LOVE u!
Awesome cards guys! Good choice selection! I'll have to submit mine for sure. Never give up! And don't over-think it. Photography, at the end of the day, is supposed to be fun!
Your cards are amazing. I don't know what I am waiting for, I am off to order mine tonight.
I love the quality of the cards, but the people at our company can't deal with the "non-standard" business card size. Do you have any plans to offer the more traditional US size of 2 x 3.5″?
If MOO was a woman I would marry her … Love the cards
These are so cool! I can't wait to make mine!!! I'm so glad I visited your booth at Imaging USA, San Antonio.
Oh wow I just noticed Moo featured my cards! No wonder where all those hits were coming from! Thanks! And thanks again for the incredible service and quality. I spread the good word of moo all the time (plus it's a very easy url to remember)
Whoa I didnt even know I made this list. THATS SO COOL. THANK YOU MOO.
Thanks for posting. All the photos, websites and cards are inspirational.
These are cool – they rely on a great image rather than gimmicks, which is perfect for digital business cards too.
Moo is perfect for photographers, designers, and others that have a lot of work to put on display. Great concept!
i watch every time this, bcz i love these
amazing cards………
First of all, I strongly suggest doing a 'First Look' before your
wedding. Make sure your photographer understands exactly want you want, with reference
to examples, either from his portfolio or from
magazines. However, you are on a budget and don't have a lot of money to spend for a professional wedding photographer.
We help our customers print things like Business Cards, MiniCards, and Letterheads, making it easy for them to share information about themselves or their business in the real world.
Don't miss out on special offers and discounts that we share with our subscribers!
We know that lots of you are great ambassadors for MOO and so we've been thinking of a way to say thank you. Which is why you can now actually earn money off your next order when you refer friends to MOO.Find out more

Look at the facts carefully before making a false assumption about a sentencePosted Wednesday, July 8, 2009, at 10:12 AM
The "Hangin' Judge" is no more.
That title has generally been bestowed upon Judge Roy Bean, whether he deserved it or not.
With a reputation for handing out sentences of death by hanging, there was no jail to house criminals in the area of Texas served by Bean in the 1800s.
Bean's been turned into a colorful legend of the Old West but in reality, Bean only sentenced two men to hang and it's said they both escaped.
The title probably should have instead been bestowed upon a judge in Arkansas who really did sentence 172 men to hang.
Our legends are not always historically accurate. But then, accuracy doesn't always make for a hit television show or a blockbuster movie.
Bean's been portrayed by several actors from Walter Brennan to Paul Newman -- Academy Awards were won but most left out the part about Bean being a jerk who didn't have much respect for the law of the state of Texas.
Bean owned a saloon and after he became a judge and called himself the "Law West of the Pecos," it's said he used bullets to wipe out all competitors to his business.
He was a shady character who used law books as kindling. Accounts vary -- some do say he had a soft side, gave to the poor and let a lot of people off the hook. But all seem to agree he handed out bizarre rulings and ignored the actual law.
Bean was a heavy drinker who held court in his saloon. He selected the juries -- from his favorite customers. They bought drinks during recess and got sloshed while listening to testimony.
Bean supposedly never turned in any of the fines he collected but just pocketed the money. He set the fines case-by-case according to however much money the criminal had in their pocket.
This is one of Bean's typical rulings: "It is the judgment of this court that you are hereby tried and convicted of illegally and unlawfully committing certain grave offenses against the peace and dignity of the state of Texas, particularly in my bailiwick. I fine you two dollars; then get the hell out of here and never show yourself in this court again. That's my rulin'."
When an Irishman was accused of killing a Chinese worker, Bean rapped his pistol on the bar to bring order to the court and then proclaimed that homicide was the killing of a human being but he could find nothing in the law about killing a Chinaman. Case dismissed.
Bean did frequently use a phrase normally uttered at the end of a death sentence, only Bean used it at the end of the weddings he conducted ... "May God have mercy upon your souls."
Judge Roy Bean died in 1903.
This is not the Old West. This is Greene County and it's 2009. Now our judges are elected to oversee our courts and make sure justice is dispensed to our citizens, according to the law of the state of Indiana. Unlike Judge Roy Bean, they have to follow the law.
They can't pocket the money from fines. They can't call in their friends to sit on juries. They can't sentence anyone to whatever they darn well please -- we have rules about these things.
Citizens elect legislators and citizens elect judges. Legislators make the laws. Judges hand it out.
The state sentencing guidelines are a maze of lists of crimes with ranges of possible sentences.
The judge can look at a case and use some discretion about whether the high end is appropriate, or the low end or somewhere in between but they have to stay within the range prescribed by law.
Even so, there's a bunch of "if this then that" stuff -- aggravating factors, mitigating factors, whether there's more than one crime involved, whether two or more sentences can both be served at the same time or whether one is served before the other one starts -- and judges have guidelines they must follow on all of this stuff.
There are some cases where the crime committed generates a cry of "Hang 'Em High" in the court of public opinion. But in the courtroom, the judge can only sentence that despicable person to whatever our law allows.
When you read about a sentence and immediately think it's not long enough, look at the facts carefully before making a false assumption that a judge has been too lenient.
Chances are good that the problem is with the law.
If you want to jump all over it, jump toward the legislators who make, and can change, those laws.

Well done! This is accurate. Judges have to apply the law as written. It is the legislature that determines the maximum and minimum sentences.
-- Posted by Cicero on Wed, Jul 8, 2009, at 9:24 PM
I think most judges are fair. They have a big responsibility. I for one would not want their jobs.

Steven Tyler Exits American Idol Judge Job
July 12, 2012 5:13 PM
Celebrity Photo Galleries
LOS ANGELES (CBSMiami/AP) — After two seasons as an American Idol judge, Steven Tyler is choosing rock 'n' roll over television.
Tyler said he's leaving the show to rededicate himself to Aerosmith. The rock star said he loved every minute on the hit Fox singing contest but added, "It's time to bring rock back."
Tyler's departure leaves original judge Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez, but the singer-actress' future with the show is cloudy.

The show focuses on the work and private lives of the school's teachers, administrators and students, with the work and private lives often intersecting. The title of each episode of the series is a chapter number, such as the fifth episode being titled "Chapter Five."

Britt Hayes
Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
It's been a long and dusty road on the way to see George Miller's 'Mad Max: Fury Road' realized. The film endured a lengthy production, and while we previously saw some less than official peeks, today brings a very much official first look at Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron's characters from the upcoming apocalyptic sequel.
We've been hearing buzz about some of Paramount's major plans for a while now, but the studio finally confirmed their 2016 release line-up recently at CineEurope (the European version of CinemaCon, a major theater convention), and included on the list are lots of sequels, like 'Beverly Hills Cop 4,' 'Transformers 5,' and -- wait, what's this? -- 'Paranormal Activity 5,' which has been bumped back once again.
It seems the "super ticket" is the way of the future, and 'Transformers 4' is the latest blockbuster release to get in on the action, partnering with Regal Entertainment to give fans more bang for their bucks ... at an additional fee, of course.
The new 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' trailer will hit the web tomorrow, but an earlier look, via the first clip and new TV spot, has arrived today, and things are looking pretty intense for humanity in this terrifying new world. But then again, we kind of deserve it, right?
We know, we know. We can hardly wait for 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to hit theaters, either, so we'll just have to settle for more TV spots, but here's the good news: we have not just one, but two new TV spots today, and both of them feature a little new footage from the film -- you know, in case you were tired of watching the same trailers over and over again, and you probably are.
In just a couple of weeks, we'll get to see the fourth installment in Michael Bay's 'Transformers' saga when 'Transformers: Age of Extinction' hits theaters, and today we've got the new IMAX poster featuring Mark Wahlberg, Optimus Prime and one very awesome-looking Dinobot.
If you're looking to avoid theater crowds and take advantage of that Netflix subscription, July has a whole lot of new stuff to offer, including new original content from the streaming service, like 'Hemlock Grove' season 2 and Netflix's new anime series 'Knights of Sidonia.' Read on for our guide to the best new releases hitting Netflix Instant in July 2014.
James Cameron has applied his fondness for 3D technology to the world of 'Avatar,' and he even gave his blockbuster 'Titanic' a 3D conversion for a theatrical rerelease. But what about some of his other films -- specifically, the 'Terminator' movies? According to Cameron, a 3D version of 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' is a possibility.
Sad news this Sunday evening, as it's being reported that Ann B. Davis, best known for her role as housekeeper Alice Nelson on beloved classic sitcom 'The Brady Bunch,' has passed away at the age of 88. The actress and two-time Emmy award winner died following a tragic accident in her home on Sunday.
We're only a little over a week away from the release of 'Edge of Tomorrow,' and unlike most of this summer's releases, Warner Bros. has been a little more conservative with the amount of clips and footage they've put out so far -- which makes any new footage we get a chance to see that much sweeter. And these latest clips look pretty, pretty, pretty cool.
Following up Drafthouse Films' Oscar-nominated documentary 'Act of Killing,' one of their exciting new releases is 'The Congress,' from 'Waltz with Bashir' director Ari Folman. Now we have the first trailer for the trippy and contemplative new film starring Robin Wright as an aging actress who makes the difficult decision to sell her image off to Hollywood, unaware of the consequences this new technology will bring.
It seemed sort of inevitable given the way things have been heading with 'Parks in Recreation' over the last couple of seasons, and with chances of renewal always uncertain, we knew that the season 6 finale could've easily served as a series finale. But now it's official: Leslie Knope and the gang will say farewell as 'Parks and Rec' makes season 7 its last on their own terms.

Grateful Dead
It wasn't any individual song for me so much as the connection I was feeling with the band and the room. Sometimes the magic was there and other times no. I would say that through the 70s I don't remember ever leaving early. That changed. As the drugs really took hold of Jerry it got harder to me to really connect with what they were doing. There would be moments, but a lot of it was hard to watch and listen to. I kept going tough, hanging on those moments when it was still magical.
Corrinna not only drove me to the bathroom, it eventually drove me away from the band. After six years and appx 50 shows it was Corinna and Easy Answers. There was a five show stretch one tour where I saw these songs entirely too much.
Another song that would always send me out was Victim or the Crime. That one always freaked me out! So dark and depressing. Way too metallic (whatever that means) It sounded like a war machine bearing down on you. I 'm not intentionally calling out Bobby songs but that's just the way it was and is.
Later folks
in my first years of going to shows i would drop alil'dose and not drink.so my bladder held up.but however if ya gotta go well than go if it was to the point my bladder was gonna burst and id have 'TEARS ROLLIN DOWN MY FACE'when id go you cant stop natrual body functions.not cool,i could always hear and enjoy the show wheather i was watching them on stage ,in the hall,or at outdoor shows.,walking around hanging out w/friends looking at the vendorshad a blast always.i will not sacrafice the dead over pain from holding it in to long.but drumz/space would be a better time .anytime is a good time if ya cant hold it any longer.expecially when they would do touch of grey.hey how about a TOPIC WORST DEAD SONGS'that would be #1 in my book.CHEEEEEZZZZY!!!!
hi yas......ya....this is a good topic......i would say my revved up rock out attitude took a major dive when the Boys played Stella Blue......that one always kinda brought me down a peg or three......Leap from my seat jams would be Scarlet Begonias.....Deal....China Cat.....and a few others i cant think of now.......love and peace to all.....Jim
i'll never get this sorted out, how many of y'all -spent - those scrambling brain cells; actually taking a pss break to a contemplation level for your brain to ponder. Going to the rest seat should always "Depend" if you "Depended" enough, or am I and that female astronaut the only 2 to ,,,,,,,,,well,, that "Dependz".. tink about dit. maan !!!!!
"Standing At The Urinal"
A Hunter/Garcia swing and a miss if there ever was one. -OR-
Their pitch that was 'Just a Bit Outside."
They swung for the fences and instead hit a broken-bat two-hopper to the second sacker.
No big deal. Nobody bats 1.000.
Always drumz and Space, If I had to go. Liked watching drumz for awhile, but then it was just to much boredom. I always thought that that was the part of the show that would put people to sleep. Just my humble opinion though.
For me this was the time and place. Unfortunately it seemed the same for a lot of others.
Watch each card and play it slow.
I had a few songs like that for the 1st set. There was "Cowboy Time" Bobbys' country 2-fers. Also the straight ahead rock tunes at the end of the 1st set like "Don't Ease" or "Might As Well" or "Promised Land". It wasn't because I didn't like those tunes, it's because they weren't "Jam" songs. These were only when I really had to go and didn't want to deal with the crowds during the break.
If I had to go during a "Jam" song in the second set, I'd go during the more structured part of the song. For example, on 3/29/90 After the "Eyes" that opened the 2nd set I thought to myself "I do need a better spot, The next song is Jerrys' call, they haven't done "Dark Star" yet this tour, and If there was ever a night they had one in them it's tonight" So during the verses of "Estimated" I got myself a little closer to the stage.
I never went during drums and space becasue I didn't like the crowds, and I used to make up names for Drums/Space
At the end of the 2nd set there were a few tunes that made me look for my coat right away. The first on that list is "Throwing Stones" I'd pick up my coat and ask me friends "What gate are we parked by?" Does anyone else at Giants Stadium 6/6/1993 remeber the crowd groaning at the begining of "Throwing"
"Sugar Mag" and "Lovelight" I wasn't always in the mood for, it depended on the show. On 9/10/1991 I stayed for that "Lovelight"
When ever I hear "Touch Of Grey" the first thing that pops into my head is "The guards are leaving soon do I want a better spot?"

Oh. no way could I not be in the hall for Stella Blue.
But really, had I know the magnitude of my sin, I don't think I'd have admitted here that I never liked Black Peter. I had no idea folks felt that strongly about it!

For years, Harvard students have dealt with large class enrollments and cavernous, impersonal lecture halls. To some, it has been a blessing--allowing the shy to avoid having to speak in front of their peers, or the tired to catch a few extra winks. To others, the crowding has been but a curse, frustrating and stifling those seeking a little more personal attention.
But, for those enrolled in "Physics 1b," the days of being lost in the crowd are fast becoming numbered.
With the help of a grant from Science Center Director Dean R. Gallant, McKay Professor of Applied Physics Eric M. Mazur is forcing students to learn from each other using interactive systems where technology meets the Science Center's multi-colored halls.
The technology allows Mazur to quiz students immediately to see if they "get it," and allows students to help teach their neighbor--a culmination in Mazur's teaching philosophy of peer instruction.
Start Your Engines
In a scene that seemed straight out of a college admissions video, physics class stopped in the middle of a lecture yesterday as Mazur flipped on an overhead, and told the approximately 160 students, "you have one minute to make up your mind and answer the question."
On cue, students pointed little remote control devices at the front of the room, and personal numbers of the students popped up on the hall's projection screen, recording the classes responses in bright purples, blues, greens, fuchsias and magentas.
Once the minute had passed, Mazur told his class, "turn to your neighbor and see if you can convince your neighbor what the right answer is."

Remembering director Peter Yates' overlooked classic
Film tells story of a teenager obsessed with bike racing
Previous News
When the death at the age of 82 of British film director Peter Yates was announced earlier this week, most media organisations referenced his work on the sixties teen classic Summer Holiday and his considerably grittier American debut movie, Bullitt.
But for many cyclists Yates will be remembered for Breaking Away, a coming-of-age film which revolves around a teenager's obsession with cycling and all things Italian, culminating in a bike race in his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana.
The work earned Yates an Oscar nomination and won Steve Tesich the award for best screenplay and while some may have never heard of it, Breaking Away has been ranked by the American Film Institute as the eighth best American film in the sports genre and achieved the same ranking in the Institute's list of most inspirational American films.
If you've never seen the film, it should be worth tracking down a copy but in the meantime here's a taster.

Matt Bellamy Thanks "Beautiful Pregnant Girlfriend" Kate Hudson
Kate's so great!
Muse's Matthew Bellamy couldn't help but gush about his love Kate Hudson while accepting his band's Grammy for Best Rock Album.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the 2011 Grammys
The British rocker, 32, rounded out his acceptance speech with a sweet shout out -- thanking his "beautiful pregnant girlfriend" Hudson, 31. (The actress was a quiet present at the bash, skipping the red carpet and sitting inconspicuously in the audience.)
Hudson, 31, is now about 18 weeks pregnant with Bellamy's child. She and the musician, 32, have been dating since the spring.
PHOTOS: Grammy Awards' must-see moments!
But don't expect wedding bells, the Almost Famous star insisted in late January. "I don't feel it necessary to get married," Hudson said on British chat show The Graham Norton Show. "I am 31, I already have one child, and have had one divorce, so it is not necessarily the golden ticket. I just want to be happy."

The actress has a 7-year-old son, Ryder, with ex-husband Chris Robinson.

Unparalleled Alzheimer's Novel Applauded
Matthew Thomas, 39, published a great American novel about Alzheimer's—a disease that will impact the lives and estate plans of thousands. Thomas devoted ten years of his life to writing We Are Not Ourselves, much of that time was while he was working as a high-school English teacher. Last year, his book was auctioned for $1 million. The book was subsequently featured as one of the Buzz Books for 2014 at Book Expo America.
The book tells the story of Ed Leary, a college professor in his early 50s, and his wife Eileen, a nurse, put the pieces together during Ed's devastating disease. The book chronicle's Ed's gradual demise, in addition to the emotional and financial impact it has on Eileen and Ed's son.
Although fiction, this is a story Thomas knows well. He was 19 when his own father was diagnosed with early Alzheimer's. Thomas says his father's diagnosis with Alzheimer's was a "protracted and delayed death sentence."

Book Review: The Steady Running of the Hour
Joanna Scutts has written a review on a Justin Go's new book entitled, The Steady Running of The Hour. Provided below is an introduction to the review:
There is a moment late in Justin Go's first novel in which the protagonist, reading from a book called "The Icelandic Sagas" learns that in these ancient stories, "personalities are shown through action, seldom through analysis."
The same technique guides Go's fiction, but it has its shortcomings for a literary novel — even one structured explicitly as a quest, complete with chapter titles like "The Bloodline" and "The Reckoning," and a young hero fortuitously named Tristan.
Beyond his name, nothing much identifies Tristan as heroic in "The Steady Running of the Hour": He's a young college graduate from San Francisco with an interest in European history. Secretive London solicitors have told him that he has seven weeks to prove his biological connection to the original beneficiary of an outlandish fortune, and with barely a backward glance, he hoists his backpack to chase his grail through Europe.
Although Tristan's story is written in the first person and the present tense, it conveys almost nothing about how he feels upon learning that he could inherit a fortune worthy of a Bond villain. His internal monologue is both bland and awkward and often betrays the author's impatience to just get on with the action, already. When a young woman in a bar challenges Tristan to explain his attitude toward this life-changing wealth, the best he can muster is "It just makes me feel weird. . . . It's just money. There are better things to care about." Instead of making Tristan seem morally deep, this refusal to reflect on what the money could mean comes off as merely dense.
For the rest of the favorable review, see Joanna Scutts, In Justin Go's 'The Steady Running of the Hour,' A Young Man Races to Find His Fortune, The Washington Post, May 12, 2014.

Madeline's Uncertain Future
As I have previously discussed, neglecting to discuss estate planning matters with your adult children can lead to problems down the line. The Bemelmans family is one such example.
Austrian-born American writer and artist Ludwig Bemelmans died at the age of 64 with an estate valued at only $200,000. But before his death, he ensured his wife that a little girl named Madeline would be their Social Security.
That independent Parisian schoolgirl he created has since made the family business millions, but now, due to a lack of succession planning, the author's descendants are struggling with what to do with Madeline.
Grandson John Bemelmans Marciano has taken over writing and illustrating the Madeline books, but his mother Barbara Bemelmans, 77, still holds the keys to the Madeline kingdom.

"Dead Ringer" -- New Thriller Based on Body-Snatcher Syndicates on Sale for the Holidays
Amazon has chosen Dead Ringer for their Special Holiday Seasonal Promo and are selling it for just $1.99. See http://amzn.to/VxNnsz.
The following is from the press release for Dead Ringer by Allen Wyler:
While speaking at a Hong Kong medical conference, neurosurgeon Dr. Lucas McCrae slips the cloth off a cadaver's head during a routine medical demonstration, and is overwhelmed by what's staring back at him: The face of his best friend, Andy Baer.
Stunned, McCrae races back to Seattle to discover that Andy is in fact missing and may have been murdered by a gang of body snatchers who operate a legit funeral business and make a fortune by selling recovered body parts to medical researchers.
McCrae teams up with an unlikely pair—a beautiful but hardnosed female cop and a gang member whose family was victimized by the cadaver ring—to try and expose a macabre web of corruption that involves law enforcement, politicians, funeral home curators and murdered prostitutes.
Internationally renowned neurosurgeon Allen Wyler takes us deep into a nightmarish scenario, shockingly ripped from recent headlines, to deliver a horrifically plausible, page-turning thriller.

"Dead End Deal" -- Medical Thriller Based on Possible Cure for Alzheimers
The following is from the press release for Dead End Deal by Allen Wyler:
World renowned neurosurgeon Jon Ritter is on the verge of a medical breakthrough that will change the world. His groundbreaking surgical treatment, using transplanted non-human stem cells, is set to eradicate the scourge of Alzheimer's disease and give hope to millions. But when the procedure is slated for testing, it all comes to an abrupt and terrifying halt. Ritter's colleague is gunned down and Ritter himself is threatened by a radical anti-abortion group that not only claims responsibility, but promises more of the same.
Faced with a dangerous reality but determined to succeed, Ritter turns to his long-time colleague, corporate biotech CEO Richard Stillman, for help. Together, they conspire to conduct a clandestine clinical trial in Seoul, Korea. But the danger is more determined, and more lethal, than Ritter could have imagined.
After successful surgical trials, Ritter and his allies are thrown into a horrifying nightmare scenario:
The trial patients have been murdered and Ritter is the number one suspect. Aided by his beautiful lab assistant, Yeonhee, Ritter flees the country, now the target of an international manhunt involving Interpol, the FBI, zealous fanatics and a coldly efficient assassin named Fiest.
Dead End Deal is a fast paced, heart-pounding, and sophisticated thriller. Penned by master neurosurgeon, Allen Wyler—who often draws from experience, actual events and hotbutton issues when writing—Dead End Deal is unmatched as a technical procedural. Its medical and scientific details can impress even the most seasoned medical practitioners. And yet, the technical expertise is seamlessly woven into a riveting plot, with enough action and surprises to engross even the most well-read thriller enthusiast.

"The Trust" -- The novel to be released July 17, 2012
On July 17, 2012, Norb Vonnegut's newest financial thriller, The Trust, will be released.
Here is some information about this book from the publisher:
Norb Vonnegut (cousin of the late Kurt Vonnegut) is a former Wall Street insider and master of financial intrigue. The author of 'Top Producer' and 'The Gods of Greenwich', Norb has combined his wealth management expertise and intuitive, darkly humorous writing into a fast-talking, suspense thriller that burrows inside the world of big-money philanthropy and reveals how financial criminals hide behind the First Amendment. Who would have known that charitable donations could be so deadly?
One sultry morning in Charleston, South Carolina, real estate magnate Palmer Kincaid's body washes ashore, the apparent victim of accidental drowning. Palmer's daughter calls Grove O'Rourke, stockbroker and hero of Top Producer, for help getting her family's affairs in order. Palmer was Grove's mentor and client, the guy who opened doors to a world beyond Charleston. Grove steps in as the interim head of the Palmetto Foundation, an organization Palmer created to encourage philanthropy.
Community foundations, like the Palmetto Foundation, are conduits.
Philanthropists gift money to them and propose the ultimate beneficiaries. But in exchange for miscellaneous benefits-anonymity, investment services, and favorable tax treatment-donors lose absolute control. Once funds arrive, community foundations can do whatever they decide.
For years Palmer showed great sensitivity to his donors, honoring their wishes to funnel funds into the charities of their choice-his unspoken pledge-and it was this largesse which made him a respected pillar of the Charleston community. But after Grove authorizes a $25 million transfer requested by a priest from the Catholic Fund, he discovers something is terribly wrong. He gets a call from Biscuit Hughes, a lawyer representing the people of Fayetteville, North Carolina, against a new sex superstore in their town. Biscuit has traced the store's funding to a most unlikely source: the Catholic Fund.
Together, Grove and Biscuit launch an investigation into the fund, but the deeper they dig, the more evidence they find that the fund's money isn't being used to support the impoverished-it's going somewhere much more sinister. When someone close to him disappears and the FBI starts breathing down his neck, Grove knows he has to figure out who's pulling all the strings before the shadowy figure who will stop at nothing to keep the fund a secret gets to him.

How Do You Bequeath Your Legacy?
The end of one's life usually brings about a reflection of what one's life has meant. This is true for a man named Martin Forrestal. However, Martin isn't a real man. His story is literally just that. The story of Martin Forrestal is detailed in a novel written by financial advisor, Cam Thornton, and the founder of The Heritage Institute, Rod Zeeb.
Their story, entitled What Matters, follows the story of Martin Forrestal as he surprisingly finds himself on his death bed, diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. In the course of the novel, Martin determines that his monetary possessions and his success should not define who he is as a person. He convinces himself that what is important to leave to his wife and children is not his physical possessions but something more. So, Martin creates a list of 15 values that works as a framework for what he would like to leave for his family. Once he creates his list, he tells 15 different life events that he feels embodies these values, records them on a digital storage device, and stores them on his computer. These are some of the values and the stories that accompany them:
- Leadership displayed by his Scout Masters.
- Honor from the kindness of citizens who helped a greedy banker from financial ruin when he would have done the opposite for the citizens.
- Responsibility from the work ethic of his mother.
- Sacrifice from actions of his best friend, who sacrificed himself in World War II to save his fellow soldiers.
- And Love from a plaque that was a gift from his mother-in-law to him and his wife.
The story ends with Martin giving this gift to his family, who appears to appreciate the legacy he left behind.

The Story of an Elderly Widow
Stewart O'Nan recently published his book entitled Emily, Alone (Penguin Group USA 2011). The publisher's description is below:
A sequel to the bestselling, much-beloved Wish You Were Here, Stewart O'Nan's intimate new novel follows Emily Maxwell, a widow whose grown children have long moved away. She dreams of vists by her grandchildren while mourning the turnover of her quiet Pittsburgh neighborhood, but when her sole companion and sister-in-law Arlene faints at their favorite breakfast buffet, Emily's days change. As she grapples with her new independence, she discovers a hidden strength and realizes that life always offers new possibilities. Like most older women, Emily is a familiar yet invisible figure, one rarely portrayed so honestly. Her mingled feelings-of pride and regret, joy and sorrow- are gracefully rendered in wholly unexpected ways. Once again making the ordinary and overlooked not merely visible but vital to understanding our own lives, Emily, Alone confirms O'Nan as an American master.
For a review of the book and how it can be helpful to caregivers, see Paula Span, The Caregiver's Bookshelf: How She Carries On, N.Y. Times, Apr. 16, 2011.
