Petroleum jelly and crème brûlée almost sounds like something you'd find on a haute cuisine menu, next to the foie gras and cucumber mousse. But this is, in fact, classic Vaseline's new limited edition flavoured lip balm.
Vaseline, loved for its no-frills, all-purpose, rough-and-ready nature, has finally taken a leap out of the man draw and into the make-up bag.
The new tin sports a cute retro design reminiscent of a Parisian boulangerie sign- a far cry from the simple, rough-around-the-edges look of the original.
Get the flavour of a favourite French dessert with none of the guilt!
The limited edition sweet treat is available to buy for £2.99 exclusively from Selfridges' London and Manchester stores, or through the Selfridges website.

I need to parse a preliminary GenBank Flatfile. The sequence hasn't been published yet, so I can't look it up by accession and download a FASTA file. I'm new to Bioinformatics, so could someone show me where I could find a BioPerl or BioPython script to do this myself? Thanks!
You need the Bio::SeqIO module to read or write out bioinformatics data. The SeqIO HOWTO should tell you everything you need to know, but here's a small read-a-GenBank-file script in Perl to get you started!
I have the Biopython solution for you here. I will firstly assume your genbank file relates to a genome sequence, then I will provide a different solution assuming it was instead a gene sequence. Indeed it would have been helpful to have known which of these you are dealing with.
Genome Sequence Parsing:
Parse in your custom genbank flatfile from file by:
If you just want the raw sequence then:
Now perhaps you need a name for this sequence, to give the sequence a ">header" before making the .fasta. Let's see what names came with the genbank .gb file:
This should return a dictionary with various synonyms of that whole sequence as annotated by author of that genbank file

text: Spoon is one of those bands that makes you feel unpretentious in your love for what has come to be known as "indie rock." Their newest effort Transference is certainly no exception and provides trademark Spoon-isms such as subtle hooks, dense sonics and an always playful artiness. This particular album, like most of all of their previous work, hangs together brilliantly and seems to last just long enough to entice one back for repeat listens. Some songs boast grooves ("Nobody Gets Me But You"), some feature barroom stomp ("Written In Reverse"), while others are content to exist as pure chiming alt-rock nuggets of goodness ("Trouble Comes Running" and "Got Nuffin"). Smart and deft as Transference may be, it still manages to remain fun, interesting and extremely delectable.

14 immigrants dead in Texas crash* - New York Daily News
While he's at it, maybe we should ban pickup trucks, extended cab P/u and truck parts. Would make as much sense and be as effective, in stopping these kind of wrecks.

Wow everyone jokes about banning cars but we really need to now. According to the DOT Tennessee has just over 500 motorvehicle deaths this year. Imagine the national statistic.

I guess I'm at a loss as to why the residents of IL don't vote these morons out of office...
Their existing gun laws have earned them the world title of violent cities. Apparently the government officials there are proud of that accomplishment and wish to expand upon that success.
My condolences to the law abiding citizens of IL whose Constitutional rights are being so expertly raped.

My question is how many residents of IL really KNOW whats going on? Sure the pro 2A people and the antis but how long has it been like this? Is it possible that people are either indifferent or just flat out dont know anything about the 2A?
Im not trying to excuse ignorance but in a society with a biased governmet and media maybe some people just dont have access to the facts or even think to look because what they have now is all they know

Thats Nuts, hope it goes nowhere! I wonder if that will effect Springfield Armory.
WOW!!!!! what next.
As a former resident of Illinois, I can say with authority that Chicago is what keeps the morons in power in the state. Unfortunately, there are more Dems., welfare abusers, bottom feeders and liberals in Chicago than in the rest of the state. The honest, hard working, middle-class Joe the plumbers who live in central and down-state IL. suffer because of the cesspool called Chi-Town.
I think that the Governor of Illinois should be brought up on charges for refusing to honor the "law of the land".
Charge him with treason and high crimes...find him guilty and then lock him up to serve time for every single person that died as a result of their inability to legally protect themself.
Let him serve as an example to the other 49 Governers.
Universal Background Checks...the next step towards registration and confiscation.

Like custom guns and stuff? Check this out...
Glad I don't live there. If I did, I'd move away very quickly.
The Illinois politicians are out of control. Instead of working to stop crime and get violent criminals off the streets, they stick their heads in the sand and propose more and more gun bans. Give the people back their right to defend themselves and watch the crime rate plummet. I really don't understand what the citizens of cities like Chicago, New York, etc. are thinking.
Cogito, ergo armatum sum. I think, therefore I am armed. (Don Mann, The Modern Day Gunslinger; the ultimate handgun training manual)
Can we get a ban on Illinois politicians instead?

UMass Radio Network Announced For 2011-12
Aug. 31, 2011
Amherst, MA - UMass games and coaches shows will continue to be broadcast across a four-station radio network, Nelligan Sports Marketing announced Tuesday. Anchored by flagship station WRNX (100.9 FM, Springfield), the UMass Sports Network will be heard throughout the state of Massachusetts and in portions of New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine in 2011-12.
WRNX will be in its tenth consecutive season as the flagship radio home for UMass sports in western Massachusetts. The station carries all football, men's basketball and hockey games in addition to coaches shows for all three sports. WRNX is again joined by three affiliates: WWZN (1510 AM, Boston), WCRN (830 AM, Worcester) and WATD (95.9 FM, South Shore).
Nelligan Sports Marketing (NSM) recently reached an agreement with UMass to manage the University's athletic marketing rights. As part of that deal, NSM will oversee the department's radio and television broadcast agreements.
"We are pleased to continue providing UMass fans with a wide-ranging radio network," said John Egan, Nelligan Sports Regional Vice President. "We recognize the strong partnership that has developed between UMass and WRNX over the past decade and are happy to have 100.9 FM back as the flagship station. WRNX combined with our three affiliate stations will provide a tremendous opportunity for our current and future corporate partners to reach UMass fans and alumni located throughout the region."
Now in its second year on the network, AM 1510 in Boston will carry the bulk of the Minutemen football schedule as well as approximately 20 men's basketball and 10 hockey contests. The station will also air select coaches shows throughout the UMass seasons. WWZN, a 50,000-watt political and sports-talk station, is known during daytime programming as "Revolution Boston." It also serves as the radio home of Boston University hockey and men's basketball and the Red Sox Spanish-language broadcast.
WCRN returns with its mammoth 50,000-watt signal to carry the majority of the men's basketball and football schedule to central Massachusetts. The station, known as "True Talk 830 AM," has a signal that reaches north into southern New Hampshire and Maine and as far south as Providence, Rhode Island. WCRN is also a part of the Red Sox radio network.
WATD, a part of the UMass Sports Network since 1998, will continue to carry football and men's basketball contests. Additionally, all UMass games and coaches shows will have free streaming audio on-line through UMassAthletics.com.
"As we start the transition to FBS football, it is now more important as ever to have radio coverage in as much of New England as possible," said UMass Manager of Broadcast Services Josh Maurer. "We thank Nelligan for coming in and allowing us to continue the continuity on our radio network. I also thank all four radio stations for the eagerness each has shown to air and support UMass athletics."
Maurer, in his fourth season as the play-by-play voice of UMass football and men's basketball, will be joined by former Minuteman Matt Goldstein in the football booth. UMass Hall of Famer Rene Ingoglia, an analyst on the network for the past two seasons, will be working with ESPN 3 game broadcasts this fall.
Adam Frenier hosts football pregame, halftime and postgame shows alongside third-year hockey play-by-play voice John Hennessy. The pre-game schedule includes a one-hour live broadcast from "Minutefan Park" outside McGuirk Stadium for all home games. Cody Chrusciel joins the UMass Sports Network as the football sideline reporter.
Hennessy remains teamed with veteran color analyst Brock Hines and rink-side reporter Frenier for the hockey broadcasts beginning in October.
The broadcast schedule began Tuesday night with the season premiere of the Bud Light UMass Football Show from the Hangar Pub & Grill. Thursday UMass football visits Holy Cross, with radio pre-game coverage beginning at 7:30 pm.
2011-12 UMass Sports Network
Flagship Station: WRNX (100.9 FM), Springfield/Northampton Carries: all football, men's basketball and hockey games, plus 11 weekly coaches shows for each sport

The Town of Indian Lake, the town without a grocery store, moved closer to providing fresh affordable food to residents during summer 2013, thanks to a few committed residents.
The Indian Lake Community Farmers Market (ILCFM) Steering Committee would like to thank the community for their support and participation in the town's first ever Farmers Market Saturdays, July 13 through Sept. 28, on the school lawn, Route 28.
Location is everything, and thanks to Indian Lake Central School District Superintendent Mark Brand the market location was spacious and highly visible. The site was also excellent because it is one block west of Route 30; routes 28 and 30 are two of the most heavily traveled roads in the Central Adirondacks.
Our goals were to provide access to fresh, healthy and affordable food; provide a venue for farmers and crafters to sell their products; provide opportunities for community groups and organizations to promote their services and programs; and assist in revitalizing the Main Street by increasing pedestrian traffic. We achieved it all.
During market days Daryl and Deb Smith, Dyanne Crotty and Ryan Leddick provided music. Darlene St. Amour, Hamilton County Health Department's family health service coordinator, reviewed her agency's programs and services with shoppers and Gabe and his father Cal Stanton, representing the local Cub Scouts, held a popcorn fund-raiser. Thank you all. Your participation helped create an educational and festive atmosphere. Plans include increasing community and organization participation in 2014.
We greatly appreciate the expert advice we received from Diane Eggert, executive director, and staff of the Farmers Market Federation of NY; and Nancy Welch, executive director of Cooperative Extension of Hamilton County. Local Harvest, thanks for providing signs.
Thanks to Hope Valley Farm, J Gallup Farm, Phil's and Jill's, Sundance Designs Textiles Co., Northshore Sales and Greg Prine, our farmers and crafters, for helping make our goals a successful reality. Future plans include expanding the market to include additional farmers and vendors.
The 2013 ILCFM Steering Committee includes: Father Phillip Allen, Kim Ameden, Liz Cannan, Taff Fitterer, Aaron Gadway, Linda Mitchell, Mary Robertson, Danielle Shaw and Brenda Valentine.

That was a wake-up call. I started seeing a therapist who specializes in eating issues. I recognized that while I don't meet all the criteria for anorexia—I'm not missing periods, for one thing—my disordered eating was ruling my life. I also came to see that my unhealthy relationship with food was just a symptom of my pursuit of perfection in all areas of my life. I hadn't earned the nickname "The Bulldozer" from my colleagues for nothing. I thought if I worked hard enough, I could produce the perfect report, the perfect body, the perfect me.
Today I consider myself someone in recovery who's on the road to normalizing her eating habits. I hadn't had breakfast in 20 years, but I'm starting to have Ensure and a bit of oatmeal in the morning. I still find it difficult to order in a restaurant, and I have bread and low-fat cheese for lunch because a cooked meal at midday triggers self-loathing. I've also been taking at least one day off from working out every week. I'm trying to learn to be more compassionate toward my body, and I think I have crossed a threshold.

To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering one must not love. But then one suffers from not loving. Therefore to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer. To suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy then is to suffer. But suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be unhappy one must love, or love to suffer, or suffer from too much happiness. I hope you're getting this down.

50 Reasons Why the Rapture Must Happen Before the TribulationBy Daniel Valles, Abridged Notes, 08/12/2013
The Rapture refers to when Christ appears in the clouds and calls His children (those who have trusted in Him) up to heaven. The term Pre-Tribulation (Pre-Trib) simple means that the Rapture happens before the Tribulation. Post-Tribulation (Post-Trib) refers to the concept that the Rapture would happen after the Tribulation. The Tribulation is the 7-year period of God's wrath on the world (Rev. 6:17). The Second Coming is when Jesus Christ returns to Earth as Ruler and King; it is not the Rapture.
A key to understanding prophecy (and the Scriptures in general) is this: That which is most important and needful for our knowledge and practice in Scripture will be the most simplest and easiest to understand. As an example, Salvation is one of the simplest concepts in Scripture to grasp (John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Acts 16:31). When we grasp these simple truths and are assured of them, a lot falls in line; what we do not understand must always be weighed with what we do know, and should not overwrite it.
While there is much in Scripture regarding prophecy, there are subjects and areas that Christ lays out very simply and plainly to His disciples. He, Himself, told them that He wanted them to understand prophecy (Matthew 24:15). There may be much about prophecy we may not understand, but we must always take the clearest and simplest truths and use them to temper and guide our understanding of the passages we wrestle with. For this reason, I start this list with the simplest, plainest truths that Christ spelled out to a bunch of fishermen about His return. He told them the pattern, and then doubly recounted the details of this pattern to make sure they (and we) understood it.
|Jesus Christ told His disciples that His coming will be as the days of Noah - and then Jesus Christ, Himself, proceeded to describe the chronology of those days by explicitly stating that Noah "entered into the ark" before the flood came (Matthew 24:37-39). "so shall also the coming of the Son of man be." - Matthew 24:39.
To emphasize this point, Jesus Christ repeated this detailed account in Luke 17:26, recording the detail that Noah "entered into the ark" before the flood, and then "the flood came" (Luke 17:26-27). "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." - Luke 17:30
|Jesus Christ also told His disciples that His coming will be as the days of Lot - and then Jesus Christ, Himself, proceeded to describe the chronology of that event by explicitly stating that Lot "went out of Sodom" before God's judgment rained down (Luke 17:28-29). "Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed." - Luke 17:30
|God reminds us of these individuals again, and tells us that it is God's nature to deliver believers before divine judgment: Noah, Lot, Rahab, etc. (II Pet. 2:5-9). Note that Peter (who penned the book of Peter) was present when Christ told it to His disciples the first time.
|Right after that, He tells them about Noah and Lot, He further emphasizes this and describes 2-3 examples (Matthew 24:40-41, Luke 17:34-36) of how some people will be taken, and some will be left.
|Right after that, He warns them "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come." If Christ returns at any other time than before the Tribulation, then you would know (to the day) when to expect Him. The fact that He is coming before is what catches people off guard.
|Right after that, He tells them of the metaphor of the unannounced thief (Matthew 24:43-44), and told His disciples His coming would be in the same manner.
|Right after that, He uses the illustration of the unfaithful servant who was caught off-guard by his master's unannounced return (Matthew 24:45-51).
|Right after that, He tells them the parable of the ten virgins, and how some were caught unprepared for the bridegroom's unannounced return (Matthew 25:1-12).
|Right after that, He warns them a second time, "Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh." - Matthew 25:13
|Right after that, He tells them of the parable of the talents, and a servant who was caught unprepared for his master's return (Matthew 25:14-30).
|Here, in one sitting, Jesus Christ plainly explains the pattern of His return to a group of fishermen, and to make absolutely sure that they understand what He is saying, He lays out 2 biographical patterns, 2 pattern parables, and 2 explicit warnings about these pattern (with additional implied warnings woven throughout); the fact that He repeated something they needed to know six times in one sitting should tell us that He wants us to be absolutely clear about it!
|Any teaching that ignores, contradicts, or reverses this clearly spelled-out pattern will end up ignoring and contradicting other Scripture as well, leading to confusion and deception. Do not hold to any prophetic pattern that goes against Christ's given pattern. The very first words out of Christ's mouth when He sat down to tell His disciples these things was this warning: "Take heed that no man deceive you." (Matthew 24:4).
|The church is not appointed to wrath (Romans 5:9, I Thess.1:9-10; I Thess. 5:9). The church cannot enter "the great day of his wrath" (Rev. 6:17). Thirteen times in Revelation, the time of the Tribulation is described as a time of wrath (Rev. 6:16, Rev. 6:17, Rev. 11:18, Rev. 12:12, Rev. 14:8, Rev. 14:10, Rev. 14:19, Rev. 15:1, Rev. 15:7, Rev. 16:1, Rev. 16:19, Rev. 18:3, Rev. 19:15).
|No NT tribulation passage mentions the church (Matthew 13:30, 39-42,48-50; 24:15-31; I Thess. 1:9-10; 5:4-9; II Thess. 2:1-11, Rev. 4-18). Nor is the translation (rapture) of the church ever mentioned in any passage dealing with the second coming after the tribulation.
|Historical concept of imminency surrounding Christ's return. From a historical concept, the doctrine is not new, just more clearly classified and understood.
|Pre-Trib allows literal interpretation of OT & NT. Post-trib must use some symbols or analogies.
|Pre-Trib has a clear distinguishing between Israel and the church. Post-Trib has "replacement theology"
|Pre-Trib gives distinction between Great Tribulation and tribulation in general. Acts 14:22 - the word tribulation is afflictions, not the time of God's wrath. Two different greek words.
|Great Tribulation is for Israel's restoration, not to prepare the church for Glory (Deut. 4:29-30, Jeremiah 30:4-11 - "...even in the latter days..." "correct thee")
|Pre-trib is founded on the definite teaching of Scripture that the death of Christ frees from all condemnation.
|The Great Tribulation begins long before the seventh trumpet of Rev. 11. Pre-trib teaches that it starts in ch. 6.
|Mid-trib teaches that the seventh trumpet of Rev. 11, the last of trumpet I Cor. 15:52, and the trumpet of Matt. 24:31 are the same event; but, they are three distinct events. They are not connected.
|Pre-trib maintains the unity of the 70 weeks. Post & mid destroy the unity of the 70 weeks and confuse Israel's program with that of the church.
|The church will not be overtaken by the day of the Lord (I Thess. 5:1-9).
|The possibility of a believer escaping the Tribulation is mentioned in Luke 21:36.
|The church of Philadelphia was promised deliverance from "the hour of temptation." Rev. 3:10
|After translation, believers go to the Father's House in heaven (John 14:3).
|Pre-trib does not divide the Body of Christ at the Rapture on a work principle (partial rapture). It is the final climatic aspect of salvation by grace.
|All, not part, of the church will be raptured. (I Cor. 15:51-52, I Thess. 4:17).
|The remnant of the Tribulation are Israelites, not members of the church.
|Pre-trib does not confuse terms like 'elect' and 'saints' (saved of all ages). "Church" & "those in Christ" are those saved before Rapture. The "elect" and "saints" after the Rapture are not part of the Bride of Christ, the church.
|The church is to look for signs of His coming. Believers in Tribulation are to look for signs.
|Holy Spirit, as a restrainer, is removed before the lawless one dominates the Tribulation. II Thess. 2:6-8. The Tribulation cannot begin until this restraint (Holy Spirit) is lifted. Believers (Spirit-in dwelt) are translated.
|II Cor. 5:10 records all believers before the judgment seat of Christ in Heaven - an event never mentioned in the detailed accounts connected with the Second Coming of Christ to earth.
|The 24 elders (Rev. 4:4-11) as reps of the church would necessitate the rapture and reward of the church before the Tribulation. They cannot be in three spots at the same time if post-trib.
|The wedding feast takes place before the Second Coming. Rev. 19:7-10.
|Tribulations saints are not raptured at the second coming, but remain and have children (Isa. 65:20-25) and enter into the Millennium Kingdom.
|The judgment of the Gentiles following the second coming (Matt. 25:31-46) is on natural bodies - which would have been impossible if they were translated at the Second Coming.
|If the Rapture took place at the Second Coming, there would be no need to separate the sheep from the goats. (Matt. 25:31)
|The coming of Christ is imminent. If it waited on the Tribulation, it would not be imminent.
|The exhortation to be comforted (I Thess. 4:18) is very significant in the pre-tribulational view (contradicted by most post-tribulation). There is no comfort in having to suffer through the Tribulation and its horrors.
|Believers are to look for signs of His coming, not signs of the Tribulation. Titus 2:13.
|The exhortation to purify yourself in light of His coming has most significance if His coming is imminent. I John 3:2-3.

Oz The Great and Powerful Movie Reviews
Oz The Great and Powerful
Release Date: Mar 08, 2013
Genre: SciFi/Fantasy
Rating: (PG)
User reviews on Oz The Great and Powerful
Very disapointed by the reviews 1st off its a dollar 2nd off Its one of the best films Ive seen in a while love the new twist on the wizord of oz tells the other side of the story. Was a great film over all highly recomend it :) if you want to see a good movie worth your time and money this is a great film to see :)
2 1/2 stars. First, I never cared one bit for the Original Wizard of Oz. As a kid, I thought it was totally boring. Thankfully, this movie really has nothing to do with the original movie, other than the guy in this movie is the Wizard of Oz.
This movie is perfectly fine for kids 7 and up. My 7 year old liked it. Not too scary. Enough to keep the kids on their toes, but not enough to freak them out.
From an adult's standpoint, the first half hour was very boring. Very boring. However, it thereafter picked up a lot of steam and was fun.
If you are caught up in the prequel crap and closely analyzing how this movie matches up with the original, you need to get a life. It's a movie. Nothing more. It's worth seeing in a theater.
First of all, almost all of us have seen the Judy Garland version of the Wizard of Oz, and know and love the story. The later, Wiz version (80's) of the movie wasn't worthy squat, and this one is going to firmly be mired between these two.
What was amazing, is that with the superb CGI quality other movies have shown, we know they can be good, but here we are fed a very bad version of it in this show. Example: there are numerous times when Franco is supposed to be looking at the little porceline girl and emoting...well, almost any emotion - instead you notice he isn't really looking 'at' the girl, just generally in that direction. Also, when she is carried by a human, it's too obvious it is just painted on the screen with pixels, and no real effort to have all the effects of the animated character impact anything around it.
Acting? The standard over-the-top blech that seems to be de rigeur these days instead of real acting, was practiced most by Franco, and pretty much by the rest. This isn't the overly-earnest Dorothy, but the worst of carny shamaturisms carried from the canvas tent to Oz, by the shyster who becomes The Oz. The one decent job was done by Mila Kunis, going from a good-ish witch with great intentions but bad genes, to a Really Mean Witch-sister.
Sorry, but this rates a Big No-No from me, especially if you waste your money on the 3D version. It's a real disappointment. See it on your 42in. at home, if you must.
"It wasn't a great movie, but it was a good movie." Not worth all 5 stars, but an O.K. movie to watch this weekend. I disagree with comments posted about special effects. Those were fantastic. Some of the effects looked fake, but I thought that was intentional and an homage to the original Wizard of Oz. The title sequence done in old fashion "diorama" style gave hints that this was a movie that would be influenced by the old turn-of-the century, slight of hand, carnival style of visuals. ....and for those who can't decide 2 or 3D, the title sequence is very much enhanced by the 3D effect. An example of the FX specialists' fantastic skills are illustrated by the porcelain girl. She was so skillfully drawn and executed that her (and the monkey's) acting skills far exceeded those of the human actors.
This is area where the movie faltered. Franco and Kunis and the rest are normally skilled actors, but they played their roles one-dimensionally. Franco, as Oz had to play a smarmy carnie, a jerk, a lothario, a dummy, a wise man, and a gold-hearted wizard and pull the wool over both his fellow travelers and us, the audience. We saw this multi-role done skillfully by Jonny Depp in the original Pirates of the Caribean. But unfortunately Franco was just smarmy-funny-goofy throughout the movie. Same with Kunis. I never felt that she fell in love, or that her heart broke or that she became the evil witch...she played her part the same throughout the entire movie and only the green make-up gave us clue that she was evil.
So if you like fun, interesting special effects and luke-warm acting skills go see the movie.
I went to see the new Wizard of Oz film last night. It was pretty good! Lots of flash and dazzle. It did kinda drag at a couple of places, but nothing major.
It is a prequel to the one with which we're all so familiar. It's worth the price of a ticket.
Just a little note: this is over two hours long. While older children will be able to sit through it, small kids, probably not. Maybe because we went to the late show, there was only one child that I could see there. And it has a PG rating due to an adult situation(tastefully done, however).
I took my whole family to see this film and we all had a wonderful time. We saw the film in 3D and I definitely recommend spending extra cash to see it in 3D, it was totally worth it. The film was absolutely magic visually, my sister's children could not stop talking about it for hours after, I love that it boosted their imagination. I enjoyed the story and I liked the cast, i think it was a great family film and I know that people will appreciate that. I think my favorite thing about this film was its humorous screenplay and I know that my parents,my nephews and their parents all found the film to be funny and that says a lot. Overall, I think this was a good film to see with your whole family.
I went to see this film with bunch of my friends because we all love the story and we were all very excited. Well, I thought the film was alright, I was actually a bit disappointed with the story and I did not feel an emotional connection with it. We saw the film in 3D and it was totally awesome but by the end it was a bit too much, the visuals definitely overwhelm the film. I wish the makers of this film actually focused more on the story and less on the visuals, I bet the film would have been much better. I did like that he film had some humor in it and I think it will please children and their parents, however for me it was not a winner.
Like a lot of people In United States, I love the story of Wizard of Oz and I have seen countless films that try to re-imagine this wonderful story. I was excited to see this film and I hoped that it will not disappoint me, unfortunately it did and I do not think this film is worth seeing on the big screen. The film is visually over-crammed and I developed a pretty bad headache while I was watching this film. I also thought that the story did not really bring anything new and it answered questions that nobody was asking, so really the film felt kind of pointless. The film did not have any soul or real emotion and I felt that the makers of this film knew that and tried to hide this fact with visuals, but that did not really fool the audience.
I had very high expectations of this film, I mean Wizard of Oz is my all time favorite story and I was eager to see how Hollywood reimagined it. Well, I have to say that I was very disappointed with it, the film definitely did not live up to my expectations. THe film had no soul and no heart, it was one of those inflated Hollywood balloons full of special effects and overwhelming visuals. It was obvious that the director was trying to distract the audience from the fact that the film is emotionally empty with flash and spectacle, it was sad to watch. Overall, I do not recommend seeing this film in the theaters, it is not worth your time or money.
This movie was a special treat for anyone who likes the whole idea of classic being revisited without being trampled upon. A lot of people will think that this is a remake of The Wizard of Oz, but it's really a completely separate story. The idea of the story is to see what led to the Wizard of Oz becoming the great Wizard that he is...except of course that everybody knows he's just a fake by now. I like the idea of showing him as a struggling magician named Oscar who wanted to make something out of himself. These desperate men really suit James Franco, lol. The movie is kind of expensive to see on IMAX 3D but if you're an absolute diehard Wizard of Oz fan or if you simply want to see what they tried to do with one of the most beloved movies and novels of all time, then it's worth the ticket price. If you're a fan of movies that are really big and epic, it's also worth the ticket price.

Mary Louise Lencyk Noren, beloved mother and grandmother, entered peacefully into eternity Sunday, June 8, 2014, at Elmcroft of Medina, surrounded by loved ones. Mary was born in Wheeling, West Virginia, on December 15, 1919, a daughter of Anna and Matthew Lencyk.
The family moved to Campbell, Ohio when she was a child. She attended Penhale grade school, where she excelled in baseball. She graduated in 1938 from Campbell Memorial High School. Mary was a sports enthusiast and an avid bowler.
Mary lived in Campbell until 1985, when she moved to Struthers Manor, where she served as president of the Manor for many years. Eventually, she was assisted there by her niece, Linda Lencyk Dietz. In 2008, she moved to Medina, to be closer to family.
In addition to her parents, Mary was predeceased by her husband, Albert, who died in 1961; her brothers, Michael, Peter, and George; and sisters, Katherine and Josephine.
She is survived by her three children, Mary Ann (Roger) McManus of Westfield Center, Dennis (Kim) Noren of Largo, Florida, Judy Noren of West Palm Beach, Florida; her brother, John Lencyk of Campbell. She also leaves behind six grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
A private, graveside service will be held at a later date at St. John's Cemetery in Lowellville, Ohio.
The family wishes to thank, with all their hearts, Hospice of Medina County, who offered immediate gentle care to their mother and grandmother and comfort to the family. Gifts to Hospice of Medina County would be greatly appreciated so that this wonderful work can continue for others.
Online condolences may be left at www.waitefuneralhome.com

Exercise is an important part of treatment, recovery, and prophylactics of spine and any joint pain. There is several reasons to do exercises. The first and most important reason for regular exercise – to look and feel better. Another important motivation to exercise: the stretching and strengthening of joints and the spine, preventing heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, diabetes, improving sleep and mood, building up self-esteem, decreasing level of tension from stress, and gaining body endurance.
There are many different approaches and methods for exercise. I divide exercise into two main approaches: one is working with weights to build up muscle, and the second way is by stretching the joints and spine. With long personal experience I definitely prefer stretching exercise.
Yoga is well known, one of the most old and wide known stretching exercise techniques. It is very effective and in my opinion a dangerous practice if performed without a good teacher. I've seen a number people who've hurt themselves during yoga practice. I am not against yoga. It just needs to be done under supervision of a trained professional.
My personal favorite exercise include Pilates, tai chi, and the Five Tibetan Rites. The common base between all these exercise techniques is stretching muscles and ligaments, strengthening the abdomen and spine muscles, improving the flexibility joints and vertebra, and correcting body posture. Abnormal body posture is the leading reason for back and neck problem in white collar worker. Performing one of this exercise technique will improve body awareness - how to correctly sits or stands.
The main benefit from exercise is developing long and strong muscle. Weight lifting or working out on most machines at the gym builds up short, strong, and bulky muscle. As result of short and bulky muscle range of motion in joints became limited. Also very often developed disbalance between flexor and extensor muscle which eventually cause body damage and pain.
I constantly see patients with well built front muscles and weak mid-back muscles. This people's neck and shoulders protrude forward. They have a tendency to developed neck or shoulder dysfunction. Weight lifting causes disc herniation and lower back pain.
Recent medical study shows that people past their forties will benefit more from muscle stretching exercises. The stretching exercise have all the benefits of what I mention in the first paragraph. Additionally, to these benefits it also gives correct posture, improves flexibility, and prevents injuries.
Of course twice or three times a week don't forget cardio exercise to strengthen your heart.

The police in Rio de Janeiro entered a heavily fortified shantytown on Thursday in an effort to arrest drug gang leaders they blamed for five days of widespread violence. Officers made it into the shantytown, Vila Cruzeiro, despite efforts by the gangs to stop them by burning vehicles in their path. Live television images showed dozens of heavily armed youths setting up positions and preparing to battle the police, who are being supported by Brazilian marines in six armored personnel carriers.

Hunting deadly monsters is one of the key themes of The Witcher franchise and CD Projekt RED will give players the ability to track down and dispatch a large number of fiends inside The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt when the game launches early 2015. As reported by Gameranx on May 5, lead quest designer Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz recently revealed that there will be dozens of fully unique legendary monsters to hunt within the third installment of the dark fantasy series.
Players can expect these legendary beasts to be tougher than the rest of the monsters that can be found within The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Each one of these superior enemies will be completely unique from one another and the developer has taken inspiration from hundreds of mythological creatures to form what they are saying could make up dozens of in-game legendary hunts.
Not only will each of unique monster have its own model, but they will have their own lore that will tie them to The Witcher 3's game world. Players won't simply be given a quest to show them where each legendary beast is located so that they may be easily killed. Instead, CD Projekt RED wants fans to be immersed in the game's lore. As such, the title will be filled with clues as to where each of the legendary monsters might be found. Players will have to investigate inside the game to find them all.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will launch in February of 2015 on Xbox One, PS4, and PC. CD Projekt RED decided to make the game available only on the new generation of systems so that they could make the game as large and visually appealing as possible. If they opted to also release the game on Xbox 360 and PS4 then it sacrifices would have had to be made. The developer instead wanted to create the best experience they could as The Witcher 3 will be the final adventure of Geralt.

Mary Valle: Rapist priests! Good news! You can rape, abuse and lie all you want in the great lag time when your case is sent for review, investigation, further inquiry, empanelation and cooling on a desk in Rome somewhere. You may even be shuttled from parish to parish, which is convenient if you are a predator. New victims come to you! However: If you're a nun and you authorize an abortion of an 11-week-old fetus to save a woman's life, when the stated outcome of not performing the abortion would be death for all? Automatic excommunication for you, little missy. Maybe we should just start calling children "ambulatory fetuses?"

You have GOT to be kidding me.
Sister Normandin started her work with women imprisoned at MCI Framingham in the 1970's. In the 80's Sister Normandin worked with Social Justice for Women to introduce alternatives to jail time such as rehabilitative programs for women. In the 90's she founded Ruah House – a residential program for homeless women with AIDS. Ruah – is Hebrew for "Breath of Life"
I met her only once in 2000 and just for an instant but was struck by the happiness and joy that she radiated. It was on a snowy winter night. My son Andrew and I had to travel to a hotel in Cambridge for the annual fund-raising benefit for Ruah. Andrew was involved with Ruah House through his school at the time. We were walking across the hotel lobby area and Sister Jeannette spied Andrew. "Andy!" she said with obvious delight. She hurried over to him, greeted him warmly and gave him a big hug.
Hugging was a big thing for Sister Jeannette – in the Boston Globe interview she talked about it like it was her secret weapon.
Towards the end of her working life, Sister Jeannette's prophetic nature ran afoul of the Catholic hierarchy. She was removed from her post as Co-Director of the Jesuit Urban Center where 75% of the parishioners are self identified gay and lesbian folk. To make their point even more emphatically, the boys in charge evicted Sister from her living quarters at the Center.
Her sin? The wrong she committed that brought such swift discipline?
She wore priestly vestments and participated in the baptism of a gay couple's infant at the Jesuit Urban Center.
Her actions provoked lightning response and swift disposition of sentence.. unlike the glacial justice the boys enjoy.
@Ingrid: I'm only sort of kidding. I'm just wondering what the already-born have to do to warrant protection and respect.
@Roy: Yet another example of the "crimes" that merit swift action. Thanks.
After 55 years, I no longer call myself a Catholic.
It is for many reasons, but mostly for the stories like these above.
Do you honestly think that if a priest made the same decision, that he would have been excommunicated?
It was a display of power pure and simple.
I believe the next time a similar situation occurs, that bishop should be forced to sit by the women as she dies.
I cannot believe that in this day and age, a women is less important then an 11 week old fetus.
But that is what the catholic church believes.

what to buy
The vast majority of customers report positive experiences with USAA car insurance, but there's a catch -- it's open only to active military personnel, veterans and their families. Policyholders say they're happy with customer service and the claims process, and the company notches strong ratings for its financial strength. Those who would prefer local agents should note that USAA does most business online or over the phone.
Good reviews for fair appraisals and settlements. USAA scores well in customer surveys of satisfaction with claims, getting particularly high marks for appraisals and the repair process, above average scores for its settlements and rental car coverage; its lowest ratings come in the area of interaction with representatives during claims. Though USAA maintains a list of approved repair shops for which they guarantee a high standard of work, customers may also select their own. USAA does not require the use of parts made by the vehicle's original manufacturer, and some claim that replacement parts might not be of the same quality. Rental-car reimbursement coverage is available, and the company will pay for tow trucks for customers who have physical damage coverage or towing and labor coverage. USAA is membership-based, and members will get rebates during years when claim volume is low.
No sudden rate hikes. Most USAA customers say they're satisfied with their premiums, and few report the sudden rate hikes that seem to plague many other companies. There are a variety of discounts, including lower rates for safe drivers, good students, customer loyalty, multiple policies and newer vehicles. The company is rated highly for speedy service, purchase experience and a wide range of flexible plans, but some customers wish agents were available in person -- USAA conducts business online and over the phone only. Policyholders may report claims 24 hours a day.

College Hockey:Michigan Tech Ties Minnesota-Duluth
Kitti Ties Game in Third
HOUGHTON, Mich. — For the second straight night, the Michigan Tech Huskies took an early first period lead before the No. 15 Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs evened the game at the MacInnes Student Ice Arena en route to a 2-2 tie on Saturday night. With the tie, the Huskies set a new school record with seven ties.
"We played to win," said Huskies' coach Jamie Russell. "I challenged the team. Guys stepped up and we rose to the occasion."
Both teams spent the opening minutes moving back and forth down the rink with little in the way of scoring chances. The Huskies (5-22-7 overall, 1-18-7 WCHA) broke the scoreless tie on their second good opportunity of the night.
Sophomore winger Jordan Baker stole the puck at his own blue line, blew past a Bulldogs' defenseman, cut in on Bulldogs' goalie netminder Alex Stalock and beat him with a deke to his backhand. The goal, Baker's 14th of the season, came at 7:39.
"The pucks are just coming to me right now," said Baker. "I just saw the opportunity there and poked the puck by (the defenseman)."
The Huskies did a great job of forechecking for the next couple of shifts and it looked like the Huskies might hold on to the lead, but the Bulldogs' (16-9-7 overall, 10-8-6 WCHA) Michael Gergon had other ideas.
Bulldogs' co-captain Andrew Carroll, with a Huskies' defender cutting off his access to the net, found Gergon streaking down the left side of the offensive zone and hit him with a perfect pass. Gergon buried his eighth goal of the season at 11:36. Nick Kemp also assisted on the goal.
"I'll take three of four (points) on the road," said Bulldogs' coach Scott Sandelin. "You gotta find ways to win, especially when you have a lead going into the third."
Shortly after the goal, the Bulldogs had a power play chance in which Justin Fontaine took a cross-ice pass from Mike Connolly and hit both the right post and the crossbar on the same shot. After video review, it was determined that the puck never crossed the line.
The Huskies had a golden opportunity to regain the one-goal lead when Baker and freshman forward Peter Rohn skated in on a two-on-one, but Baker's shot sailed over Stalock and the net.
Bulldogs' defenseman Trent Palm had the first good chance of the second period when he crashed the net, but his one-timed shot hit the post to Robinson's left. Robinson finished with 28 saves.
With Huskies' defenseman Eli Vlaisavljevich off for interference, the Bulldogs got a little bit of luck in order to take their first lead of the game. Co-captain Josh Meyers took a pass from Mike Connolly and ripped a one-time slap shot that hit the crossbar and fell over the line for a goal. The goal was Meyers' eighth of the season.
The Huskies needed to come out hard in the third period to make up for struggling through the second, and they did just that.
Junior winger Drew Dobson had a huge shot from the high slot, but the puck hit freshman winger Alex MacLeod in front of the net.
The Bulldogs came roaring back with a couple of good chances in close to Robinson when Michael Gergon and Cody Danberg each had chances off turnovers from Huskies' defenders.
Senior winger Derek Kitti evened the game 7:08 into the third when he one-timed a pass from junior defenseman John Kivisto. Kivisto picked the puck up off the boards to feed Kitti for his third goal of the season.
"We were trying to get a lot of pucks to the net," said Kitti. "Kivisto was just able to get a pass to me, and I put it in."
MacGregor Sharp had a chance to give the Bulldogs back the lead when he won a faceoff in the offensive zone and cut right to the net with the puck. That was the last really good opportunity for the Bulldogs.
After forcing the Bulldogs to ice the puck with about a minute left in regulation, both Baker and freshman center Brett Olson had outstanding chances to give the Huskies the lead, but neither could find a seam in Stalock. Stalock finished with 19 saves.
In the extra session, Baker had two great chances in front of Stalock off a pass from Dobson, but couldn't manage to bury either one.
"We didn't play very well in front of (Stalock)," said Sandelin. "I get tired of saying that."
The Bulldogs finished one-for-five on the power play, while the Huskies went zero-for-three. With the seven ties, the Huskies tied the WCHA record for ties in league play.

Lauder is a quiet royal burgh on the A68 leading to Edinburgh and the North. The town is known for an episode in Scottish history that left the 5th Earl of Angus, Archibald Douglas, with the nickname of "Bell the Cat". In 1482, a group of noblemen, jealous of some of James III's low-born advisers, had six of the king's favourites hanged from the bridge which formerly stood on the Thirlestane Castle estate.
