Thanks to films like The Conjuring and Insidious the haunting horror genre is gaining more popularity again, but sadly more often than not they just don't work. The latest looking to bring something new to the genre is Oculus that sports a few recognizable faces with Katee Sackhoff, Rory Cochrane, and Karen Gillan, but none of the usual superstar power that studios like to thrust into these films. Could this film come off as creepy and haunting as the trailer appears or is it all just smoke and mirrors?
Oculus follows a brother and sister who ten years previous the brother was convicted of their parent's brutal murder. Now in his 20s he has been released from the metal hospital and just wants move on with his life: but his sister is convinced her parents' deaths were caused by something else altogether: a malevolent supernatural force unleashed through the Lasser Glass, an antique mirror in their childhood home. Determined to prove his innocence, she tracks down the mirror, only to learn similar deaths have befallen previous owners over the past century. With the mysterious entity now back in their hands, they soon find their hold on reality shattered by terrifying hallucinations, and realize, too late, that their childhood nightmare is beginning again. When this film begins things seem a bit forced as they are trying to set things up, but quickly takes a turn for the better. The story bounces between the past and present, merging it together seamlessly to create a unique delivery to the story. As it moves along it gives you just enough information from the past to create a possible direction that will keep you guessing while never trying to be over complicated.
The cast does a good job with their respective characters. The older brother and sister played by Karen Gillan and Brenton Thwaites take a little to really find their grove in the finished product, but once they get to the meat of the story they really come into their own. The always great Katee Sackhoff knocks it out of the park here. She isn't shown as much in the trailers, which actually came as pleasant surprise to see what she delivers. She is mostly known for the strong powerful female characters and still has that presence here, but gets to showcase a more vulnerable side as well as insanity that she kills. The use of using a very small cast keeps things tight and streamlined and a better executed film overall.
While there isn't a ton of effects, the look of the creepy characters look great and really add that needed element to this genre. They have taken what could have been just another average horror film and elevated it to that next level to create a clever and unique film that is sure to please. As with most of these types of films it lends itself to be able to do more chapters and intelligently with a new story and cast, while still being able to bring some of these people back, which will make more sense when you see the finished product. If you are fans of these kinds of films then give this one a shot as it delivers way more than you might expect.

FRESNO, Calif. - Fresno State has continued to dominate the New Mexico State Aggies on the baseball diamond.
After Saturday night's 17-2 win, a game that was halted in the seventh inning because of the WAC's 10-run rule, the Dogs stretched their winning streak over the Aggies to seven games dating back to last season. In the first three games of this four-game series, Fresno State has outscored NM State 49-13.
Fresno State pounded out 17 hits, exploded for nine runs in the fifth inning, and capitalized on five Aggie errors.
The Dogs got excellent pitching from starter Josh Poytress and played solid defense behind him with no errors.
Fresno State jumped to an early lead as career walk leader Danny Muno led off the bottom of the bottom of the first inning with a walk. Junior Brennan Gowens moved Muno into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and reached base on an error by the Aggie pitcher Dan Reid. Robinson launched a home run, his 12th of the season, over the left field fence giving the Dogs the lead 3-0. Robinson leads the team and the conference in homers.
In the top of the third inning, New Mexico State hit a solo home run to left field and the Dogs continued to lead 3-1. Poytress has given up only three home runs this season.
Robinson answered with his second home run of the game and has 13 homers on the season. His career total jumped to 44 and he passed Guiseppe Chiaramonte (1995-97) who had 43 in his brilliant career. Only Tom Mendonca, who had 56, has more career homers as a Bulldog than Robinson. Robinson finished the night with six RBIs and three hits.
Designated hitter Kenny Wise went yard to right field with his sixth home run of the season. The Dogs led 6-1 after three innings.
Fresno State's nine runs in the fifth inning came on seven hits and three Aggie errors. The Dogs scored seven runs before NMSU could get an out. Robinson drove in two runs with a single, while Jordan Ribera had a double.
Poytress helped the Dogs turn their 51st double play of the year. He grabbed a line drive and threw the runner out at first base for a pair of outs. He threw six innings and allowed just one run on six hits. He had two strikeouts and walked just one Aggie. His ERA fell from 2.88 to 2.74 and he improved his record on the season to 6-1. Will Anderson closed out the game and pitched the final inning.
Fresno State improved to 35-11 on the season, 15-7 in the WAC and concludes the series with New Mexico State Sunday at 1:05 p.m. Tickets for the game are available.
"We Are Your Team!" Join the Bulldogs on Sunday, May 15, for Senior Day as five Bulldog seniors will be honored at Beiden Field prior to the series finale with New Mexico State. It's "Red Out" Day at Beiden Field and fans are encouraged to wear red. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m.

Back To School: Picking the best backpacks for the price
Comparing in-store & online deals
One of the biggest items you'll have to buy for back-to-school is a backpack to hold all of the other stuff you have to buy.
Here are some deals and durability you can find now in stores and online:
Prices are falling at Walmart this week. One backpack is $3.97, character backpacks $9.88 and "Everything Backpacks" sell for $12.88.
At Target you'll find a High Sierra backpack for $31.50, the Embark brand for $13 or $22, plus there's a whole wall of on-sale signs giving you a few bucks off.
And for more savings, use your Target Red Card and Cartwheel app.
"On top of our sale items, on top of the 5 percent Red Card discounts you'll get, we're also throwing in that Cartwheel discount just for our guests to help them save a little more money on back-to-school time," said Target Executive Team Leader Chris Santucci.
But don't forget check out discounts online, too. During a quick scan of Amazon.com, we saw backpacks that are well-reviewed at more than 70 percent off. A Wildkin Comfortpack that's recommend for kids ages 8-15 was $48 but now it's $12.
We found others with big discounts, like a rolling Ed Hardy that is 61 percent off with free shipping. There's a ton of High Sierra Fat Boy backpacks at 50 percent off. There are lots of School Cheer Gym backpacks at 63 percent off with prices of $14.99 each.
"I want a book bag that's not $50 but it's not $5 dollars," said Lizzie, who was shopping with her mom, Anne Frey, at Target.
The deals at L.L. Bean can make that happen. You can get 25 percent off its Deluxe Book Pack for $29.96 or 37 percent off at $24.99. We even found 50 percent off the Original Book Pack at $14.96. That comes with free shipping and 100 percent satisfaction guarantee where you can send it back anytime if there's something wrong.
When shopping for back to school, you can't go wrong with Anne's on your side advice: "You get what you pay for. So, if you ever think it's a really great deal, make sure it's got the good quality."

Earlier this year, a unique collection from history was on display in downtown Louisville, though not in the physical sense, but, rather, of the musical variety. The historic Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts hosted a musical collaboration between The Louisville Orchestra and Michael Feinstein, in which the two collaborators presented a wide variety of selections from the so-called 'Great American Songbook.'
The variety of the show put on by Mr. Feinstein and the orchestra made for an evening of entertaining unexpectedness. At one point, for example, Mr. Feinstein invited a high school sophomore from New York to join him on stage and sing "Feeling Good" from the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint – The Smell of the Crowd. As for Mr. Feinstein himself, at times he played the piano, in one instance he took over the conductor's stand and personally conducted a few pieces, and –throughout the night– he took center stage to sing to the accompaniment of the orchestra behind him.
The most powerful moment of the night, however, came at the very end of the show with Feinstein's performance of "Somewhere" from West Side Story. After many upbeat and lighthearted pieces earlier in the evening, Mr. Feinstein's quiet introduction to the closing song intimated a shift to a more somber tone. Sensing the shift, an added stillness seemed to come over the members of the audience and the other musicians on stage, as Feinstein took a moment then began singing, "There's a place for us . . ."
What, perhaps, made Feinstein's rendition of the song so powerful was its performance outside of its standard context. Rather than serve as one component in the larger West Side Story musical or one piece in a Leonard Bernstein retrospective, the song, as presented by Feinstein, had a chance to stand on its own. He did not emphasize the moment in history at which it was written (1957), or its roots in the music of Beethoven and Tchaikovsky (the 'Emperor Concerto' and Swan Lake, respectively). Instead, Feinstein, via his voice, let the notes and the lyrics speak for themselves.
In doing so, Feinstein allowed "Somewhere" to touch on a wide variety of contexts. Of course, there is the unignorable context of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, and the adaptation of the star-crossed lovers' words that "Somewhere" is. For others members of the audience, however, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" may have come to mind, with the lyrics "peace, and quiet, and open air" echoing "[a place where] skies are blue" and "happy little bluebirds fly." For me, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Tim Rice's 1968 musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat came to mind. Just as Stephen Sondheim's lyrics speak of "somewhere a place for us," Rice's lyrics for the Biblical character of Joseph have him stating, "we know we shall find our own peace of mind, for we have been promised a land of our own."
No less, the latter connection presents an even wider array of contexts in which to place "Somewhere." If one can reconsider Tony and Maria's love song from West Side Story as a companion piece to an Old Testament disciple's vision of a life beyond Egyptian slavery, then one can view the duet as an expression of hope and forward-looking felt so often throughout history. As Moses led the Israelites across the desert for forty years, perhaps he, too, thought to himself, "There is a place for us, somewhere a place for us." As the pilgrims sailed from Europe to North America seeking religious freedom, surely they told themselves at times, "There is place for us, somewhere a place for us." "Somewhere," in fact, debuted just three years after the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision. For African-Americans denied equal treatment and full inclusion in American society at that time, might they have heard the lyrics of "Somewhere" as something different from the love song that, on the surface, it is?
Without question, Feinstein's performance of "Somewhere" was, from a technical perspective, great. Every phrase was pitch perfect, no lyric hurried over, and he held the final note for an incredible amount of time. Nevertheless, Mr. Feinstein's ability to deliver "Somewhere" in such a way as to elicit the connections like those above, provoke thought, and –ultimately– inspire, was the true gift he provided the audience that night.

My grandma was really good at sewing and embroidery. I learned from her first, then learned sewing from my Home Ec class in Jr High and an advanced class in High School. I think it's a shame they don't teach Home Ec anymore - both my young adult daughters are interested in sewing and would have enjoyed a class like that!

It didn't take long for the state of Texas to remind school districts across the state of the need to be prepared for anything.
In a letter dated Dec. 15 — the day after the unspeakable atrocity at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that impacted the nation — the Texas School Safety Center sent a letter to school superintendents across the state reminding them of Senate Bill 11, passed in 2005, that "required school districts and public junior colleges to adopt and implement a multi-hazard emergency operations plan that includes district employee training and mandatory school drills to prepare students and employees for responding to an emergency."
Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott echoed that reminder Monday, urging school districts that have not completed and/or submitted school security plans/policies to the Texas School Safety Center to do so ASAP.
According to the TSSC, 38 of 1,025 school districts in Texas had not submitted such security plans, and an additional 40 failed to meet "full requirements." Seven school districts in the Panhandle area were among such schools. Districts are required by law to meet these reporting standards.
"Proper preparedness and safety in our schools is not just an exercise, it will save lives when seconds count," Abbott said in a statement. "As we all mourn the horrific loss of innocent lives in Newtown, we must ensure that not another minute passes where Texas school districts are unprepared for an incident in our own state."
Just because seven school districts in the area had not meet state reporting criteria as of Monday does not necessarily mean these districts are unsafe or have not adequately addressed security policies related to an emergency. However, considering the recent act of evil that has every school in the country looking at its security procedures, these districts need to make sure they are in accordance with state guidelines and recommendations for school security.
The TSSC web site — www.txssc.txstate.edu — provides a comprehensive resource: "Texas Unified School Safety and Security Standards." These standards identify several key security measures, from prevention/mitigation to response and recovery.
The horror of Dec. 14 emphasizes how important preparation can be.

I just received word from Tracey Evers of the Dallas Restaurant Association: former chef and co-owner of The Place at Perry's, Travis Henderson, was killed earlier this morning in Carrollton by a member of the Dallas SWAT team. The news of Henderson's death is heartbreaking. Henderson was a devoted, hard-working chef. While he was chef at The Place at Perry's, he was in constant contact with the media and promoted the restaurant and his co-workers with great pride. Henderson was the creator of one of the best chicken-fried steaks in Dallas. He was a lovely person and his talent will be missed. R.I.P, dear Travis. Dallas will not be the same without you.

"Shortly before midnight, Henderson, 52, exited his car and pointed a handgun at officers, Walton said. Dallas SWAT officer Samuel McDonnold then shot and killed him, he said."
You have to click on the link to read the entire story. That's what was reported. You know they don't release video of stuff like this until they've had time to review everything. I'm sure they will in time. I'm not a cop, and don't have anything to do with cops. I do understand depression and have thoughts of suicide every day. I'm positive the guy committed suicide via forcing the cops to shoot him.
Its understandable that people are grieving. But to blame is cops and SWAT for his actions and the resulting effects is irresponsible.
Jack MacDonald
I worked forTravis at the old SAMs Cafe and he was an inspiration. Always upbeat and wanting to teach us something. He will be missed, truly a sad day.
I've been reading through several articles…what troubles me most about this ghastly tragedy is that he went to a church.Not a mall, where he planned to harm countless people, not a school, not anywhere alone. A church. No one at that church where they were holding an event, could comfort and council him and get him to a hospital/psych facility, without calling in a SWAT team? Churches used to be sanctuaries. If he was that depressed, and I repeat IF, he wouldn't have gone to a church for solace. He went to talk to God. Where were the church leaders? Why wasn't anyone there for him, in a house of God, that could have headed off this horrible horrible tragedy? The police dept. certainly overreacted, even if there were people on lockdown inside. But if he was at that location for several hours, there should have been opportunity for someone to minister to him. I pray that he had some comfort before he was taken from his family and friends.
Connie. If you ain't got nothing nice to say then shut the hell up. This ain't the blame game.
Dana Atchley Hall
I have just this morning learned of this terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to the family of this fallen man. It is hard not to look for blame, but I also feel very sadly for the officer who fired that shot, along with his fellow teammates who do place their lives in danger everyday to ensure the safety of the public. It is absolutely certain that the officer who made the fatal shot has a very, very heavy heart today.
In 2010 God started a ministry through us, his workers, to help those who have psychiatric and substance abuse issues, or just plain "life problems." Throughout most person's lifetime is a point at which a crisis occurs for which there may not be a solution in the view of the person. Our small ministry is called, "Living in Divine Assurance," and we are located in Greenville, Tx.
We feel that it is time, in this increasingly difficult world in which we live, to address emergency psychiatric and substance abuse issues through other than the usual legal system. The writer above who called for "police intervention crisis teams" in right on point. We visualize a time when cities will recognize the need for this type of assistance which can not only protect the public, but also the person who is suffering. The City of Dallas does have this for situations not involving weapons. Can we not further develop an approach to mental problems that assist rather than denegrate, humiliate, segregate, isolate or even destroy those afflicted?
We pray that we can. Look how far our society has come in technology; now let's help our suffering people.
And we pray, in Jesus' name, not only for the family of this precious man, but as well as for the officer(s) involved. May God help them greatly in the coming days. Amen.

American slavery remains a complex issue with many untold stories like the heart-wrenching relationship at the core of "The Box", a short film starring Tamala Jones ("Castle") and Jon Huertas ("Castle") set to debut at the Dances with Films Festival Wednesday, June 4 at 5 p.m.
Set in 1840 Virginia, field slave Adeline is chastised and confined to a small wooden box where she finds Coffey, a mulatto house slave. Seemingly from opposite worlds they find themselves trapped together in a dire situation that forces them to seek a better understanding and find love in a pit of despair.
Click here to view trailer
Stars of the hit ABC drama "Castle", Huertas and Jones developed the concept for the short film and play the lead roles of Coffey and Adeline, respectively. Seeking the perfect project for their first collaborative effort, Huertas and Andrew Bikichky--a camera operator on "Castle"--teamed to co-directed "The Box" and helped push the short to completion. The script was written by Huertas and Ben Cory Jones, while "Castle" Assistant Director Nicole Rodgers served as producer.
Already earning award nominations, "The Box" is up for Best Film (short) in The Madrid International Film Festival and has scored a Best Actor nod for Huertas, Best Director nomination for Huertas and Bikichky, and a Best Producer nom for Rodgers.

I'm sure you have clicked on a link on a social media site recently. Chances are, it was probably a Bitly link. But what exactly is a Bitly and how can it be useful for your business?
Most links that you want your customers or potential customers to click on are too long. This is where Bitly comes in. Bitly is one of the web's most popular and best URL link shorteners. Recently, Bitly has rebranded itself to become "the easiest and most fun way to save, share and discover links from around the web." For businesses, using a short link for your marketing efforts is a great option. People will be more likely to click on an easy and short link and more likely to share it. Bitly is also good for getting a little extra social media data since it acts as a middle man for all your links. You can get info on other links, viral stories, funny pictures and interesting discussions. Bitly allow you to fill in the gaps in standard reporting solutions without a whole lot of extra work or expense.
But how do you shorten your links? Easy! Using the Bitly website, you can simply paste in a link at the top of the website's page and have it shortened automatically. You don't even need to create an account. After, you paste your link, a new page will show up with your newly shortened link, along with a button to easily copy it, contents of the link and how many clicks it has received. There is also an option to join Bitly so you can save, monitor and "bundle" all your shortened links in one place.
Bitly is free to sign up and allows you to connect to your Facebook or Twitter accounts so you can easily find followers or friends in your network who are using Bitly as well. By clicking on "Your Network" in your account, you can see all Bitly links shared on the web by any of your people in your network.
The section titled "Your Stuff" on Bitly acts as your very own homepage. Here you can view your own personal feed of all the links that you share using Bitly. Bitly likes to refer to these as "bitmarks." Each time you generate a new bitmark, it is posted to your feed in chronological order. This way you can also look at it later on. It will show the original link at the top, along with the Bitly bitmark link and you can simply copy it any time you need it again. By looking at the bitmark in the feed, you can view the number of clicks it has received. You can also click on "View stats" to get more detailed info on the amount of people that clicked through and when they did it. Clicking on your username in the top right hand corner and choosing "Tools" also gives you access to a bunch of new options for saving links and more.
Public Bitly
Bitly also offers an open public API so that third-party services can take advantage of it. This is why popular online sites and tools use Bitly links in their features because it automatically incorporates it.
Bitly Wherever You Are
You can have Bitly at your fingertips wherever you are by adding the Google Chrome extension to your Chrome web browser, dragging the bookmarklet to your bookmarks bar, downloading the iPhone app or adding the plugin to your WordPress blog.

College Hockey:Ferris State Completes Sweep Of Western Michigan
Bulldogs Overcome Three-Goal Deficit, Win 5-3
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — The Western Michgian Broncos came out flying in the first period taking a three-goal lead only to lose to the Bulldogs of Ferris State, 5 – 3.
"I was really pleased about (our start)," said Broncos Head Coach Jim Culhane. "We talked about it this morning and before the game, the importance of the first goal and getting some momentum in the hockey game."
The scoring started when Patrick Galivan lit the lamp for the first time in his career. He took a pass from Brian Bicek and sent the puck between the post and Mitch O'Keefe's pad to give the Broncos
the early lead 2:08 into the game.
The Broncos scored just six minutes later when Jason Moul buried a gift of a chance into a wide-open net, giving Western Michigan a commanding 2-0 lead. Jeff Lovecchio and Brent Walton assisted on the goal.
Lovecchio added another point to the scoresheet when he scored the Broncos' third goal of the first period. He was standing just outside the crease and deflected Brent Walton's shot over O' Keefe's glove and into the net, sending Western Michigan into the locker room with a 3-0 lead.
"We didn't have a whole lot jump and i think we overhandled the puck and more than anything I don't think our defensemen played well," said Ferris State Head Coach Bob Daniels.
It took Ferris State 7:48 before they found the back of the net in the second period. Dan Riedel scored his second of the season on the power play with the assist going to Greg Rallo. Riedel took the point shot and beat Broncos netminder Daniel Bellissimo high to the glove side.
Under five minutes later with the Bulldogs on the power play, Zac Pearson brought Ferris state closer when he found himself in the right place at the right time. Pearson fielded a deflection off of the backboard and slid the puck past Bellissimo. Dan Riedel and Greg Rallo got the assists.
Ferris State scored its third power-play goal on the night when Rallo recieved a pass from Matt Verdone and beat Bellissimo high to the glove side, tying the score, 3-3.
"The difference ends up being the second period," said Culhane. "Eight or nine minor penatlies for us, one for them, so we played basically the whole second period shorthanded. They scored two four-on-threes and a five-on-three."
The Bulldogs took the lead 6:04 into the third period when Eric Vesely beat a sprawled Bellissimo after a scramble in front of the net. Ferris State never looked back.
Ferris State added an insurance goal 8:07 into the third when Mark Bomersback beat Bellissimo through the five hole. Riedel got his fourth point of the night with an assist on the goal.
Late in the third Bellissimo cramped up and the Broncos had to look to freshman netminder Ryan Mensing to keep the score close.
The Bulldogs finished with 30 shots on net and were 3-for-9 on the power play, which included a streak of eight consecutive chances with the man-advantage. The Broncos finished with 22 shots and were 0-for-6 on the power play.
Western Michigan (2-6-0, 2-4-0 CCHA) is in action next weekend with another home-and-home series against Michigan State, while Ferris State (4-2-4, 3-1-4) plays two games at home aginst Bemidji State.

I found an unknown MAC address connected to my home router. How would I figure out what OS the IP or MAC address is running?
As @logicalscope says, you can also look at the MAC lookup chart to find out the manufacturer. This could be spoofed.
You could try to find out the IP address of the device, then you could run nmap against it to see if you can identify the OS.
This could be hidden from you, so an alternative would be to try and connect to it - does it give banners back? Ports 22, 23, 80, 443 etc could be useful starting points here.
Failing that, try forcing it off the network and see if anything breaks :-)
One way to possibly figure out what device it is, is to examine the MAC address itself. The first 3 hexadecimal numbers can be used to determine which company the MAC was assigned to. For instance, 00-03-93 is one (of many) MAC OUI prefixes that belongs to Apple.
This doesn't always work if the MAC has been spoofed, has been set manually, or if it is assigned to a virtual machine (or you have a lot of devices. :-)
You can check the first few digits of the MAC address at http://standards.ieee.org/develop/regauth/oui/oui.txt That'll give you the vendor of the device's NIC.
If you have access to the ARP table on your router you can translate the MAC address to an IP address. Often with 'arp -a' or 'show arp' an a router commandline
On your PC you can check hostname of the corresponding IP and whois information:
Check if you can find out the current connections to your router with a netstat-like command. Check http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml what the port may be used for.
This should give you a hand full of leads to further analyse
There is an easy and better way
This table identifies all devices connected to the router by the device name, IP address and MAC address. On a Netgear router, click the "Attached Devices" link in the left navigation panel under the Maintenance heading.

Record cold observed around the world has vastly surpassed record warmth so far in 2014.
While during the past twelve months, the number of daily record highs exceeded the daily record lows by twelve per cent globally, this ratio shifts dramatically after 2014.
Despite unusual warmth in both hemispheres, according to the National Climatic Data Center's Weather Records Summary, daily record lows globally have surpassed daily record highs by 70 percent this year. In the past 30 days, record lows have eclipsed record highs by nearly 250 percent.
Monthly record lows are even with monthly record highs in the past 365 days, but since 2014, the number of monthly record lows outweigh the monthly record highs by 60 percent.
Although this emergent trend may seem miniscule on a climatological scale, it could be significant given that record daily highs consistently outnumbered daily record lows since the 1980s.
When considering this trend alongside recent findings that global warming slowed during the past decade, it appears there's more to climate change than just warming.

One Direction Get In The Guinness Book Of Records
Fresh after their MTV VMA success, One Direction have now officially made it into the Guinness Book of Records, with their barn-storming debut album 'Up All Night'.
Their new Guinness world record is for the album going straight to number one in the US Billboard charts, breaking the previous record held by the Spice Girls in 1997.
The band said:
"Being the first British band to debut at number one in America with a debut album is something that we would have never even have dreamt of. We are incredibly proud to have this achievement included in the Guinness World Records book."
We've got a feeling that they might be setting more records in the near future.
We'll go for :
- Biggest single pre-orders EVER for 'Live While We're Young'
- Biggest album pre-orders EVER for 'Take Me Home'
- Bestest haircuts in the world EVER
- Most screaming girls at a concert EVER
We made the last two up. Yeh we're cool – we're not scared to own when we tell a porky or two 😉

- Company: Aldo
- Price: $80
- Official Site: AldoShoes.com
- Release Date: Out now
Aldo's Harmelin shoe, with its three lace eyelets on either side, is the epitome of laid-back style. The simple lines and non-stitch toe create a clean look of sophistication without pretension. This all-leather shoe has a rubber sole and is available in black or slate gray.
Perhaps the most notable feature of the Aldo Harmelin is the full sole, which gives it the feel of a driving loafer. This simple detail makes the shoe comfortable for everyday wear. The shoe can be worn with nearly everything in a man's wardrobe and, at just $80 for a pair, you won't regret your purchase.
Aldo makes affordable, well-built shoes with style, and the Harmelin model is no exception. The subtle gray or black color of the upper allows you to dress these up with a suit or blazer, but you can also grab them on your way out the door in a pair of jeans. The lack of any detail on the toe serves as the greatest antidote to all those pointed loafers with excessive stitching that have made their way from club to the office over the past few years. Simple is in, and the Harmelin is leading the way.

Ward Movie Reviews

Genre: Suspense/ThrillerHorror
Rating: (R)
User reviews on Ward
I don`t like this film indeed! It is cruel! I hope the essay writers will write about the truthful information
Boring and unoriginal, two words that describe this film perfectly. I hope you will read this review and stay away from this terrible film. The film is also not scary at all and I do not think that it should be called a horror film, all the "scary" moments come from things suddenly appearing on the screen, that is not scary or interesting. The film also lacked a good story and it was not original or fresh. I was expecting so much more from the master of horror and after 9 years of absence, he did not deliver at all. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters.
I absolutely love horror film and i pretty much see all of the horror films that are released, i know it sounds pathetic but that is my thing. Anyway, i jumped for joy when i saw that Carpenter came out with another horror flick, I could not wait to see that. However, I was greatly disappointed with this film and i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. most of the scares in the film come from figures suddenly appearing on the screen or thunderclaps from the storm that never ends during the film. The performances were alright, couple of actors did stand out. Mamie Gummer(Maryl Streep's daughter) and Jared Harris did a really good job with their characters and shined in the film. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters.
I was expecting something really good from John Carpenter, what i got was a very mediocre thriller with no emotion or context. Carpenter is still masterful with the camera work and setting the mood, but the film did not have any tension or intension. The characters in the film were very predictable and not deep, I could not relate to any of them and did not care what is going to happen to them. The ending was also very disappointing and obvious. Overall, I did not like this film and i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters.
This is a thriller directed by John Carpenter and stars Amber Heard, Mamie Gummer and Danielle Panabaker. I did not like this film and i do not recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film was not entertaining at a ll and i knew what is going to happen in the end in the first 10 minutes of the film. There were a lot of jumpy moments but absolutely no tension created throughout the film. The twist in the end was unoriginal and unimaginative. the film is shot beautifully and the hospital sets the mood for the film but it lacks in originality and purpose. I was not involved with the characters in the film, therefore I did not really care who is going to die or be tortured. It could have been a very good film, could have but was not.

Beyonce's Super Bowl performance was hot enough for a power outage, and now it'll be remembered in a fashion forward exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum on Tues., July 22.
According to The Rock Hall of Fame and Museum, the exhibit will be showing her costumes in the Ahmet Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall in its Legends of Rock section. The highlighted outfit will be the Rubin Singer leather and lace body suit, skirt and jacket from the 2013 Super Bowl Performance.
This performance was also noteworthy not just because of the memorable power outage during the game but it was the first reunion in several years with the other members of Destiny's Child: Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
Some other costume displays that will be at the exhibit from Yonce's collection include:
- Givenchy black beaded and purple feather mermaid gown from the 2012 Met Gala
- Gareth Pugh gold dress from the 2011 "Run the World (Girls)" music video
- One-sleeve black leotard from the 2008 "Single Ladies" music video
- White cotton tank-top w/stones, J Brand Denim shorts and red Stuart Weitzman patent leather sling-back pumps from the 2003 "Crazy In Love" music video
- Thierry Mugler gold metal body suit with gold pumps from the 2009 "Sweet Dreams" music video
This has been a busy year for Queen Bey. She ended 2013 breaking an iTunes record with her quietly released self-titled album, and marched into 2014 with a duo On the Run tour with her husband/rapper icon Jay Z.
She also spent $7 million to finance the building expenses for a housing complex for homeless Houston residents. Houston is the R&B icon's hometown.

organic farm, homemade bread, honey, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, vegetarian recipe
Master baker Patricia Spinelli developed a recipe for Sacred Seed Bread in honor of Finca Luna Nueva's Sacred Seed Sanctuary. Photo by Barbara Bourne
While I was in Costa Rica last month, I toured the Sacred Seed Sanctuary at Finca Luna Nueva, a biodynamic and organic farm in the rainforest. Now that I'm home in frigid Colorado, I'm dreaming of those tropical plants—and the climate that nurtures them. In their honor, I'm making bread.
Master baker Patricia Spinelli, who conjured up this recipe for delicious, nutritious Sacred Seed Bread in honor of Finca Luna Nueva's Sacred Seeds Sanctuary, calls it "slow food at its best." As I look forward to the warm, homemade loaf on our dinner table tonight, I couldn't agree more.
Sacred Seed Bread
1-1/4 cup slightly warm water
1 tablespoon honey
4 teaspoons dried yest
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons sunflower or pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 tablespoons ground golden flaxseed
1-1/4 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon salt
Mix water, honey, yeast and olive oil together. Let sit for 5 minutes.
Add seeds and flour to mixture. Stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
Add flour in increments of about ¼ cup. When all the flour is incorporated, form the dough into a ball and turn out onto a clean, dry surface. This is slightly wet, sticky dough. If it is too wet to handle, add a teaspoon of flour at a time until you can knead the dough. Continue kneading for 2-3 minutes.
Place dough in a large bowl and cover with a towel. Let rise for 2-1/2 hours. The dough should have doubled I size. Punch down the dough with your fist.
Turn out onto floured surface; knead for 30 seconds, then shape dough into a free-form loaf and place on pan lined with parchment paper. Cover with towel and let proof for 45 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 50 minutes until golden brown.

On Friday, Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said that while humanitarian aid in the form of food and water is good, the best aid America can provide to those under assault by ISIS is bombs, since death is apparently the only language the evil organization understands.
"There's a misguided belief that humanitarian aid comes in the form of food and water," he said. "Send them some MRE's and they'll be fine."
"But you can't eat a meal when your head is on a stake," he added. "In a world in which death is the only language evil understands, bombs beat bread."
He went on to say that wherever the United States retreats, monsters rush in to fill the void. In this case, the monsters happen to be the Islamic State -- the radical Islamic fundamentalist group that is building a caliphate in Iraq and Syria.
As we reported Friday, the group is systematically beheading Christian children in Mosul as part of its genocide against everything non-Islamic. Militants have also captured and raped women while hanging their husbands. It's clear that no one can negotiate with a group that so gleefully publicizes brutal murder?
"Pacifists will shout about all the terrorists your bombs create," Gutfeld said. "But their pacifism is directly proportional to their distance from death."
U.S. military jets have launched two very limited strikes in Iraq in response. For Gutfeld, military action is really the only negotiating tool worth considering.
"Our response can only come from above in the shape of a 500-pound RSVP" when confronted by groups like ISIS, he added. "For America is truly the bomb."
The monologue went over well with a number of people on Twitter, Twitchy said. For many who responded, Gutfeld's monologue hit the nail on the head.
"You nailed it," one person exclaimed. "We must be strong and lead."
"Bombs?" one person asked. "Although I don't think they respond to those either. But who cares. It still kills them."
One person, however, disagreed that 500-pound bombs are the answer. Instead, the Twitter user suggested napalm and clusterbombs.
"They claim they want to create an Islamic state," one person said. "They have. It's called crazy."

Recent studies led by Dr. John Wilding , chief of the University if Liverpools' Department of Obesity and Endoctinology have shown that Liraglutide (Victoza), a drug often used to treat diabetes may aid non-diabetics who are obese lose as much as 8% of their body weight when administered in higher doses than normal prescribed to control the disease. In fact, he stated that prediabetic test subjects given 3 mg of Victoza (as opposed to regular doses of 1.2 milligram and 1.8 milligram given to full-blown Type 2 diabetics) also saw their cholesterol and blood pressure levels significantly reduced.
To conduct their study, Dr. Wilding and his team kept approximately 3,700 randomly chosen overweight individuals (average age 45), on reduced diets of "500 calories less than they normally consumed, and required each of them to walk briskly for 30 minutes at least 5 times a week in order to increase they activity level. However, only some of the participants received daily doses of 3 mg Victoza, with the rest injected with a placebo.
In the end, the researchers found that almost 2/3 of those taking the drug dropped 5% or more of their body weight, with the remaining 1/3 showing a loss of 10%+. In the meantime, 27% of the placebo group lost about 5% of their body weight, while 1-10 in dropped 10% or more.
As a result, Novo Nordisk, which manufacturers Liraglutide/Victoza, and funded the study, has applied to the FDA to approve Victoza for weight loss.
While a small percentage of those using Victoza experienced gallbladder problems and pancreatitis, the most common side effects were mild diarrhea and nausea.
It should also be noted that Dr Wilding has worked as a consultant to Novo Nordisk.

WASHINGTON — The National Small Business Association (NSBA) has released its 2013 Mid-Year Economic Report, indicating that 40% of small-business owners feel "today's economy is better off" when compared to five years ago—the highest it's been in five years, the association says.
"Unfortunately, small-business owners didn't express that same positive growth when it comes to their own business," says NSBA President and CEO Todd McCracken. "Past and projected growth in jobs and revenues remained stagnant while small businesses availability to garner financing dropped—two key indicators that go hand-in-hand."
The NSBA further reports that 65% of small businesses are unable to obtain adequate financing, down from 73% six months ago, and that "economic uncertainty" remains the number one challenge small-business owners face.
Small-business owners were also asked about policy issues, including healthcare reform and taxation. One-fifth of small-business owners have a "clear understanding" of how the new healthcare law will impact them, the NSBA says, while 43% say they have "been the subject of an IRS audit or follow-up action in the last 10 years."
"A unique and very disappointing finding from our survey: the number one issue small business wants our elected officials to address isn't even policy-imperative, it's for them to end the partisan gridlock and work together," says NSBA Chair David Ickert of Air Tractor Inc. in Olney, Texas. "There are too many important issues facing our nation for this continued failure from policymakers."
The full 2013 Mid-Year Economic Report can be found at the NSBA's website.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
Currently, one of legal age can walk into a grocery store, buy a bottle of booze, leave the store, uncap the bottle and stroll along Chetco Avenue — no problem; Oregon state law expressly prohibits municipalities from banning such activity.
But don't take that bottle into Azalea Park lest you risk a $250 ticket.
That irony was a topic the Brookings City Council pondered during a work session Tuesday as it considered relaxing its regulations regarding alcohol in city-owned parks, particularly during events such as concerts and weddings.
"A lot of people said it'd be nice if they could have a glass of wine while out watching a concert," said Councilor Brent Hodges. "Something other than just sitting and listening. I think it'd be a great thing."
The topic was brought up by Councilor Bill Hamilton, who said he's talked with people about the issue and wonders if it detracts from event organizers who would like to hold an event here. Others have wondered how much the ordinance affects couples' decisions to get married at the Capella by the Sea in Azalea Park.
There are various issues in play, said Police Chief Chris Wallace. They include permitting through the Oregon Liquor Control Commission for events such as concerts, wine tastings and chamber mixers; and changing the city's ordinance to allow people to bring alcohol to events; among others.
"From a police standpoint, I don't have a lot of issues with it," Wallace said. "A lot of people expect to be able to do that."
"People don't not go to a concert because they can't drink wine," said Council Jake Pieper. "This is the classic example of an ordinance that punishes people who'd be responsible."
Councilors agreed people who secure a permit to host an event are not typically the rabble-rousers.
"I just don't want to see a drunk on the tailgate yelling at an umpire," said Council Brent Hodges.
"But what if there's a wedding in the Capella, and they want champagne?" queried Mayor Ron Hedenskog. "That's something very ordinary that can't happen under this ordinance. I'm willing to go a little further than just licensed events."
Gold Beach has its wine tasting, and last weekend Bend featured a beer festival that attracted 80,000 people, Hodges said.
"I had the privilege of living in Germany during Oktoberfest," Hedenskog said. "The intention was to get drunk and stupid — I guarantee you. The beer was really cheap and strong and came in big containers. You got drunk enough to dance to the oompah bands.
"There still were no problems. There's nothing wrong with being joyous and festive — and responsible."

text: So the cranky cashier at my regular Albie's store tells me that corporate will soon be issuing a new rule that they can no longer accept Internet printed coupons due to excessive fraud. I don't know whether to believe her or not because she's always hassled me over my coupon usage. I can't decide whether to quit couponing entirely or just stop shopping at Albertsons because there have been so many problems this year. It's not like I take advantage or anything. I've NEVER tried to cheat or do anything dishonest. I always ask if it's OK if I'm not sure. I'm just getting so tired of the lectures or being told I can't do something that corporate/store manager has already approved. It's like they know me and are targeting me to hassle. What really annoys me is that we spend a minimum of $1,000 a month with this store between groceries, gasoline and other purchases. So I use a few coupons. My savings percentage isn't even that good because I'm down to just the one store instead of two grocery, two drugstores and Kmart doubles, which they no longer do either.

Nadine Diefenbacher serves as a Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in trauma and abuse issues with Linder Psychiatric in Folsom and Roseville. She offers insights for the modern parent dealing with children who are acting out, hostile or withdrawn. She derives her wisdom from over 10 years of professional experience working with foster and adopted youth and 30 years of personal experience as biological and adoptive mother.
A mom of five ranging in ages from 18 to 30, Diefenbacher and her husband adopted four young children after their first child was born. "In my experience with youth in foster care and in adoptive situations is that by the time they arrive in a loving home, they are traumatized and they try to prove what they believe," she said. "They believe they are not worthy and try to get kicked out by acting out." According to Diefenbacher the most important thing a loving parent or guardian can do when a child is acting out is to not respond with more emotion. "Do not take it personally," she said. "They don't recognize you. What they see is you in the role they associate with a history of bad experiences."
Diefenbacher's expertise and personal experience reinforces a guiding principle for the modern family: how we choose to react to how others are reacting to circumstances (in the social network and in the flesh) will contribute to or disturb the peace; and moreover, the bonding and/or healing we seek for our family cannot transpire when we are contributing to a vicious cycle of drama and unrest.
Taming emotion is an essential life skill
According to Daniel Romer in a recent on-line article in the Oxford University Press, the concerns about social media and internet connectivity negatively impacting youth are a replay of age-old concerns that can be traced to Socrates who reportedly didn't want kids to learn how to write lest it hinder their memory skills. And while he acknowledges the potential for addiction with video games, there remains still unexamined but a critical concern that children in the age of internet connectivity are at risk of dealing with trauma in the realm of heart and mind unlike that of previous generations.
For the modern parent it is helpful to consider that the childhoods of kids today are informing them radically differently than that of our own. Mobile connectivity is a game changer for being a kid and for parenting in that kids are exposed to adult issues of power and control (addiction, bullying and commercial and sexual exploitation) at much earlier ages, and with intensity that can be hard to fathom no matter how much we monitor and communicate with our digital natives.
Hence the most important thing a parent can do in governing a cyber-powered home is tame emotion and be very mindful about your own emotional response to what is happening with your child. When we are not fearful, when we are not judging, but sincerely confident, open-minded and interested in learning from our child how their childhood is informing them, it is possible to bond by helping your child to recognize and put aside untruth when it disturbs the peace.

And honestly, this development isn't that hard to swallow. Generic, yes, but you should expect it after 600 chapters of the same thing. Forced or rushed? Ehhhh not really.
->Hinata got more confidence and respect in part II, though not enough
->Was legitimately in danger of dying to Pain, so she took a gamble and confessed to Naruto (she may have never gotten the chance)
->No reply. So do you give up, or keep going on with it? Hinata's entire motivation is not giving up, so protecting Naruto in the midst of battle and still pursuing him is reasonable. She's the perfect candidate to give the motivational speech.
And what people is confusing is that NARUTO DID NOT CONFESS. THIS IS NOT THE ULTIMATE CANON. One instance of development does not mean that the two will automatically end up together. And besides, Naruto still has not said anything romantic about Hinata at all, holding hands could just be camaraderie because she helped Naruto get over his billionth slump.
If anything I think this is excellent development towards that love triangle. Before, Hina fans had really no good argument against SakuNaru because Hinata had almost 0 screentime, this makes the results murkier and keeps fans guessing, which I like.
I don't think it's rushed. But, I do agree it's stupid they just sit there and listen to them talk, but this has been going on for a while, so it isn't like it has become unexpected? Yes, everyone listening is blatantly stupid and kills any intensity, but that seems like a whole different issue.

so posts are still getting deleted huh...
@PIE: can't remember what you said . but i guess atleast neji's dying in part II here isn't half bad.
Yeah, It's pure bliss isn't it? (WHO GETS IT? IF YOU DID CONGRATU-FUQING-LATIONS)
Honestly, I would love to see the awesome tag team efforts that will bloom on the battlefield.
We'll see. As far as the romantic aspects are concerned, I could care but I won't.
If it happens it happens, if not then oh well, no skin off my nose.

Heaven and Hell could go to war in my living room right now, and I'd still be blissful. NaruHina.
I don't have a ship but if there has to be love for Naruto Im just so glad it isn't Sakura-chan That Hoe!! Never liked her she treated Naruto like crap and has stomped on his emotions more times than I can remember. She likes Sasuke so let evil Sasuke stab her in the face and lets move this war along. Hinata Merry Christmas you finally got the present you always wanted from Santa good luck. She has never treated Naruto like a shame to the village like so many others. Honestly Sasuke never really did either...Those two were his truest bluest friends, maybe Shikimaru too it was his parents that pulled him away when they were kids. TELL YOU NOW: If they pull a switcharoo with the shipping after this chapter for that B*tch(Sakura) I really might stop watching I really haven't gotten over the pointless-ness of Obito's story arc. He was remembered as one of the only truly good Uchiha's then Kishi just shat all over that(All Uchiha's are douchebag emo freaks and only Madara is actually good at it). Pain is more like Naruto than Obito could ever be. (Pain also didn't go batshit crazy and try to destroy all reality over a girl he never dated or was related to) Obito really has no use but to try to fill Kishi's ridiculous plot holes. It was a gr8 chapter all for the betterment of Naruto and people having his back.

Sorry but im going to continue just a tad. Hinata has been willing to give up her life to save Naruto how many times now. Sakura barely does what Tsunade does for Naruto (keeping him grounded/somewhat serious) and even Tsunade shows more affection to the boy. Siince the war began she hasn't done anything important or for him...Yeah Sakura "really" deserves Naruto(sarcasm). Im sorry I just want her to go away far far away she is about as useful as Obito. The show is called Naruto not Village Ninjas if you don't do anything for the show and its main character why are you here?

Got a little monkey with a jungle-themed room or nursery? Add this sweet Modern Baby Clock Elephant by Decoylab ($48) to their room. Made of laser-cut bamboo and operating on one AA battery, it has no tick-tock sound, so won't keep the kiddo up at night, but is easy to read when you stumble into their bedrooms for 2am feedings.

Altor BioScience Awarded Two SBIR Phase I Grants by NCI for Research on its Novel IL-15 Super Agonists for Hematologic Cancers
Miramar, Florida, Sept. 27, 2012 -- Altor BioScience Corporation (Altor) announced today that it has been awarded two Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grants by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to support research involving its interleukin-15 (IL-15) based superagonist complex, ALT-803, against multiple myeloma and B-cell lymphomas.
Altor was awarded the first grant of $231,853 in July 11, 2012, for the project entitled "IL-15 Superagonist Complex, known as ALT-803, as an Immunotherapeutic for Multiple Myeloma." In this project, Altor is evaluating ALT-803 in preclinical models for hematologic cancers, including multiple myeloma. The preliminary data indicated that ALT-803 exhibited very potent anti-myeloma activity. The grant will allow Altor to explore the mechanism of action of ALT-803 and lay the ground work for clinical development.
The second grant of $257,303, awarded to Altor on September 2012 for the project entitled "CD20-targeted IL-15 immunotherapeutics for B-cell malignancies," will provide the necessary resources to complete the ongoing evaluation of a targeted version of ALT-803 against B-cell lymphomas, including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, in relevant pre-clinical models. Derived from Altor's proprietary IL-15 based protein scaffold technology, this novel immunotherapeutic is specifically targeted to the CD20 antigen, which is the target of Rituximab, an antibody therapeutic that is approved for treating B-cell lymphomas. Altor's innovative CD-20 targeted immunotherapeutic has promising potential to deliver a significantly more potent drug than Rituximab for B-cell lymphomas.
Hing Wong, Ph.D., Altor's CEO commented, "Altor is extremely pleased to receive these SBIR awards from NCI and for the recognition of Altor's novel and proprietary IL-15 based immunotherapeutic programs to address important unmet medical needs in the area of hematologic cancers. Altor's top clinical priority is to move ALT-803 into clinical development in early 2013 and develop other targeted derivatives of ALT-803 to the clinical stage."
About Altor's IL-15 Technology
IL-15 is related to the approved immunotherapeutic, IL-2, and is a critical factor for the development, proliferation and activation of cellular immune responses. Altor has developed ALT-803, a novel IL-15 superagonist complex with enhanced biological activity in vitro and in vivo. ALT-803 is currently in late pre-clinical testing as a potential treatment for patients with superficial bladder cancer, other solid and hematological tumors.
About Altor BioScience
Altor is a privately held biotechnology company developing immunotherapies for treating cancer, viral infections, and inflammatory diseases based on its proprietary technology platforms. Altor currently has two products in clinical development. ALT-801 is Altor's lead product based on its T-cell receptor (TCR) technology. This TCR-targeted immunotherapeutic for cancer is currently in Phase II trials to evaluate its safety and clinical utilities for treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma and for treatment of patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer.
A monoclonal antibody-based Tissue Factor antagonist, referred to as ALT-836, is in a second multi-center, randomized Phase II trial for treatment of patients with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Acute Lung Injury, a life-threatening, systemic inflammatory disease. ALT-836, in combination with gemcitabine, is also in a Phase I/IIa clinical trial for treating patients with refractory solid tumors.

Siren – Wake Up My Children
Siren – Gardener Man
Siren – I Wonder Where
Not sure why I hadn't posted this one up months ago when I picked it up at Mount Analog, one of several recently opened and very good record stores in Highland Park. The name Kevin Coyne rang a few bells when I saw this record at the store, but what really piqued my curiosity was the fact that John Peel was the executive producer. Though my copy was on Elektra, the album was originally released on Peel's short lived Dandelion record label. With one listen it's pretty clear why Peel would have like the group. Aside from their fine bluesy sound, there are the very distinctive vocals and style of Coyne.
Coyne has an interesting back story, a youth spent admiring American bluesmen and time served at art school as you might expect, but also working as a therapist and nurse for the mentally ill before forming this band. Perhaps that explains his signature style, raw and seemingly a little manic. It's a style that sticks with you and works it's way deep down once you let it in. I'm not surprised the band didn't attract a large audience, just as i's no suprise that they were a cult favorite of quite a few, including John Lydon of the Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd. and Sting of the Police. John Peel sure knew how to pick 'em…

Newest iPhones Won't Access Russian 4G Networks, For Now
MOSCOW—Russian carriers began official sales of Apple's iPhone 5s and 5c on Friday, but buyers won't yet be able to use the phones on the country's quickest 4G network.
Russia is not listed on Apple's website as a country where 4G is available. Apple is blocking major Russian telecoms companies from allowing the new models access to 4G networks, a person in the industry said, confirming a report in Russian daily Vedomosti.
An Apple spokeswoman in London didn't respond to requests to comment.
Russian carriers only recently started rolling out 4G networks using long-term evolution, or LTE, technology. Sberbank CIB analyst Anna Lepetukhina said Apple may be concerned that the new services are not yet up to scratch. The Communications Minister earlier this year criticized the pace of the rollout.
The new iPhone 5s and 5c operate on 4G in North America and several European and Asian countries, where they went on sale last month.
Until Friday, Russian consumers could only buy iPhones via some retail stores or on the so-called "gray market" of imported phones. Russian Internet company Mail.Ru has estimated that around 35,000 to 40,000 new iPhones have been sold in Russia over the past month. The cheaper iPhone 5c has not seen much demand, the company said.
The new models sell at 24,990 rubles ($787) for the 16GB iPhone 5c going up to as much as 39,990 rubles ( $1,257) for the most expensive 64GB 5s model in Russia. This compares to $549 and $849 for the same models in the U.S. when sold without a contract. At 7 pm Moscow time, no 5s models were available in MTS's online store.
Two of Russia's major operators—Mobile TeleSystems and VimpelCom—announced deals Tuesday to start new iPhone sales. They and Russia's other top carrier, MegaFon, let their contracts lapse in recent years after getting stuck with obligations to buy large volumes of phones.
Operators in Russia suffer from such terms because Russia does not currently allow subsidizing handsets in return for long-term cell phone plans, making these devices out of reach for most Russians.
VimpelCom's iPhone clients will be able to use 4G in Russia after the mandatory testing of the carrier's LTE network by Apple's technical specialists is over, a spokeswoman for the Russian branch of VimpelCom said.
The new iPhones have already been successfully tested on VimpelCom's network, she added.
The company also said Friday it would hook up all of Moscow to LTE on Dec. 2 and provide LTE access to all cities with population of over one million people by mid-2014.
Russian communications ministry has mandated major telecom operators to roll out 4G network across the country by 2018.
