1. Analyze That
   The best parts of Analyze That are found in the first twenty minutes, dealing with Vitti's breakdown in prison and then as Sobel's houseguest. DeNiro's knack for comedic timing and Crystal's ability to play it straight come shining through in these scenes. The duo manage to elicit some laughs here and there past the first reel, but after a while even they're dragged down by the, ahem, "plot". There's the standard mafia movie clichéd crud about rival crime families out to whack both the lead character and each other. But you really couldn't care less since you've seen most of these characters a thousand times before - and in better films. There's a bit where Paul becomes a consultant on a Sopranos-type show that is meant to be a satirical swipe at Hollywood, but once again: been there, done that and better.
2. European Cruise -- Eastern Mediterranean
   One of the simple pleasures of a European cruise is that you need to unpack your luggage just once, as you visit multiple islands and coastal ports during your stay with Elegantcruises. Wake up each morning in a new destination—usually in the center of the historic district close to notable sights—and avoid the highways and suburban traffic that motor coach tours can’t. In many ways, your first impression of a place will be much like ancient seafarers experienced centuries ago, as vessels were the primary means of transport around the Mediterranean. They still remain the best means for you!
3. Red Hat Society
   The Red Hat Society is a fascinating American social phenomenon. A woman by the name of Sue Ellen Cooper had the inspiration to form the society in 1998. From her small chapter in Fullerton, she grew the RHS into a nationwide "disorganization" with more than a million Red Hat members. She developed the name for the society from a poem by the well-known poet Jenny Joseph.
4. Steve Kubby
   Medical marijuana refugee Steve Kubby was taken to the Placer County jail today to begin serving a 4-month sentence on drug possession charges. Supporters are fearful that he will not survive in jail without access to medical marijuana. Kubby has used cannabis exclusively to treat a rare form of adrenal cancer, pheochromocytoma , since the 1980s, and is thought to be the longest living survivor of the disease. [ Read more....]
5. Sicily -- Sicilian Greeks
   Sicily was a province of the Roman Empire for the next 6 centuries. It was something of a rural backwater, but its grainfields which were a mainstay of the food supply of the city of Rome. The empire made little effort to Romanize the region, which remained largely Greek. During this period, in 70 BC, Cicero condemned the misgovernment of Verres in his oration, In Verrem.
