Even Lucius Fox threatened to resign after questioning Batman's methods in The Dark Knight. With Bruce now a loner, enter Robin. If The Dark Knight Rises wanted to go very dark with Robin it could do. After Robin's family are killed by the uprising criminality in Gotham, Bruce Wayne could adopt the teenager (I'll say 16+ as any younger it just becomes weird) as a political stunt to give Bruce some 'good' publicity by taking in an orphan ... the Batman franchise over the years. When Chris O'Donnell turned up as the angsty sidekick of Val Kilmer's Batman in Batman Forever, things went from bad to worst. A sequel later and we had one of the worst films of all time with Batman & Robin. History suggests Batman flicks should leave out Robin but that really doesn't have to be the case. When we last saw the Caped Crusader back in The Dark Knight, he had become an outlaw after taking the fall for crimes he didn't commit. Now Batman is on the run, his tie with Commissioner ...

... my eyes that last time. I get to become and create who I want to be with each breath and with each everyday interaction. There is no longer that wide-open, I have "endless time" perspective. My days are numbered and I would like each one to count. This "older" Robin is who I am. Any "dreams of youth" can be revisited and remodeled as the "dreams of now," for this precise moment is all I have. And I want to do it well, with the all of me--heart, mind, body and soul--participating. Therein lays the challenge and the ...

... player Viktor Troicki 7-5/6-4. It was World Number 18 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's first ATP World Tour Final since October 2009. The Frenchman last won a title 15 months previously when he won his 5th ATP World Tour Title in Tokyo beating Mikhail Youzhny in the Final. Robin Soderling continued his impressive progress in 2011 as he took just under 90 minutes to take the Title for the 2nd year running. It was the first time in his career Soderling had defended a title but his win in Rotterdam was hot on the heels of his win in ... World Tennis Championships took place on hard courts at the Ahoy Rotterdam Indoor Sporting Arena from February 7th to February 13th 2011. The winner received $279,500 and the Runner-up $126,150.

He was facing Marcos Baghdatis but the World Number ...

Imagine a ray of the sun extending itself into the world without first connecting to its Light Source. It seems absurd, yet many of us attempt to do this all the time. We have this crazy mad idea that we are the generators of our own light, our own strength and even the sole creators of our destiny. Then we wonder why things don't work as smoothly as we hoped for. At a foundational level, we are all receivers and our Creator is the giver of everything. In our relationships, we forget this important principle and inadvertently slip into the role of Creator, or at least, we think we do. We assume the role of trying to make another person happy, fulfill another person's dreams or fix another ...

The rumor mill ran wild following the highly anticipated Macbook pro refresh. Liquid metal, standard SSDs, higher-res, updated design were among the false reports. What has changed however are the internals. Questions like: is this model worth upgrading to, or should I wait for the new model, will be answered in this article. Let's start with the changes. Hardware The model under the microscope is the high-end 15" model, which contains a 2.2ghz Sandy Bride quad core i7 processor, 4gb ram and a 6750m from AMD. That's a big upgrade from the previous generation. I've also opted for the high-res screen, which is a given in my (mac!)book. *pun intended* Apart from the high-end 15" Macbook pro, ...

As with anything else, it's important to find the right person for the job. This holds especially true when you are looking for a professional dog groomer. There are several qualities to look for when looking for a groomer in your neighborhood. Some of the questions you should answer are: 1. What is their experience? How long have they been doing this? 2. Are they a professional who works out of a salon or are they just dabbling at it in their garage? I saw an ad the other day from a woman who is new to grooming. She is grooming out of her home and advertised that she lets her clients pets run free in her backyard while waiting to be picked up. Snakes, coyotes, and large birds in Pueblo ...

Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside themselves was superior to circumstance. Bruce Barton, American advertising executive and U.S. congressman What makes someone able to rise above their circumstance while others just seem to be swallowed up? We have all seen it happen both ways. What about you? The first step may be the person's view of their circumstances. What might seem unacceptable to one person may be just fine to someone else. You can only rise above your circumstances if you feel strongly that something needs to change. There is nothing wrong with being content with what you have, but if you are looking for something more, ...

Have you ever watched a child cradling a broken toy, tears streaming and mouth yowling in pain? Gut emotion roars with an out-flung cry of anguish and loss; pain, anger and sorrow are vented with valves wide open. Then there is a child's joy with arms flung wide as a grin and laughter pealing in echo to dancing feet. Moments of contentment and wonder are soul-felt quietude or awe. This is one-hundred-percent humanity meeting the world. As we grow most of us set aside this full-on participation of "me in the world." The social screws that hold the hinges of our behavior are drilled early, causing us to keep that really gritty human part of us closed off and separate. Tamed and tautened, ...

If you are anything like me, you have an almost-automatic tendency to discount and sidebar an awful lot of the "not familiar" that makes itself known in the span of your day. "Foolish" or "stupid" are words that seem to float to consciousness in an autopilot sort of way. I don't think this is so much a judgment call as possibly just an "overload" call because things are changing and moving so darned fast. Our natural reaction is to close our minds along with our hearts to all this input and say, "Enough!" We have seen and done enough. Learned enough and experienced enough. It is so much easier to crawl into the comfort zones of the "already known." But when we reach for the curtains and ...

Oh my! What absolute joy and delight! We are pregnant! The twain of us is now on the way to being three and we as a couple are filled with amazement, surprise and a frisson of fear. Parenthood is on our horizon and we could not be happier. Our partnering--private and personal, sensual and sexual or planned and particulated--has borne fruit and we are looking toward a nine-month adventure into the changing of the guard of our duo-living. The awaiting of first-time birth is something to be treasured and marked, thankfully, as only a "one-time" affair. Of all of the changes that we go through as mothers-in-waiting, we soon learn that what was once a very private venue, shared by us alone and ...

We have become, quite literally, a nation of slobs. In our easy, "use-it-once-on-the-run" lifestyles, everything from doughnuts to underwear is packaged in a "to-go" or "one-use" manner. We eagerly consume, use and wear things dear to our hearts paying scant attention to the holder of these things--the packaging, which quite often is larger than the product. So as we run hither thither tearing open T-shirts and taco chips, popping open bottles and beers and thoughtlessly disposing of "disposables;" we blithely distribute detritus throughout the land. On a recent road trip, I had the opportunity to visit our state-operated rest stops. Stopping to rest my eyes and relieve my bladder, I got ...

When you first start out in a multilevel marketing business, you dream of a large organization. In fact, if you are serious about the business, your goals are based on building this organization. You work and work and your organization keep growing. If you are part of a dynamic company, this growth can happen very quickly. Suddenly you find yourself with thousands of people in your downline, your phone never stops ringing and the money is getting serious. You may be thinking that you have finally reached you goal. Everything is going just like you planned. You are also exhausted and you are getting tired of dealing with people. Maybe it is time to just ease off a little right? Wrong! Too ...

Patience, for some of us, is by far the hardest emotion to control. We know that it takes time to build a multilevel marketing business. We know that we can't expect results overnight. Are you are constantly looking at your downline? Do you get upset if there is even one day when someone new isn't added? Do you expect to replace your income in six months or less? If any of these statements pertain to you, you may be prone to panic. Maybe you have a fair amount of money invested in your business. Maybe you have been scraping by to keep your business active and you are wondering if it is worth it. Maybe you are just a worrier. Whatever the reason, panic won't make your business grow any ...

If we had only known. If we had been able to see ahead and realize the importance of those moments of turning; those poignant places in time that indelibly marked our lives. Would we have paid attention better; slowed down to savor the taste and smell and feel of those events that helped make us the "who" of who we are? Having put some years on our faces and tucked some experiences under our belts, we now hopefully have developed a "longer" view of things. A slowing down seems to have happened as we walk through events and feel the "oomph" of life. We finally have come to the realization that really and truly, "we may never pass this way again." And this is a good thing for both the ...

If you are anything like me, living full out with the throttle pushed to the floor was a "movie magic" sort of adventure that thrilled and pulsed through your younger years. We ached for this delight-in-life sort of living and reached for it with great gusto. If it was worth doing, it was worth doing with fireworks sparkle! This doing it in "double time" becomes more than a bit slower and lot more thought out as we age. But do we start settling? Do we start letting the "living from the gut" go by the board because we tell ourselves that "those" days are over? We can so easily get caught in the rigmarole of the ordinary and snuggle our bottoms into a chair of "same old, same old." Is that a ...

Ah, the dreams of our younger years, those tender and ferocious ideas and ideals that we held dear and determined. The driving forces of our twenties or thirties, we often put them away as foolish and forgotten because life began to happen. Educations needed completing; careers were cossetted and chased. Nailed down and following paths of necessity, our lives took turns far and away from those close-held dreams of younger minds and clearer souls. The years have now mounted and time has begun to fold in on itself. We are older and have been there and done that; achieved this and decided that. Hopefully we have climbed a mountain or two in the everyday way of getting up and trying again and ...

Oh my! What are we doing? Where are we going? Why are we going there? Are we perhaps missing the real "living" part as we run so fast to get somewhere and accomplish things? Are we missing the real breadth and power of living--the breathing in and out and truly experiencing the moments of our lives? These 21st century days we walk are so filled with "tools" to make living easier. But do they? Do our cell phones and computers and video display devices add as much as we think? These marvels of invention and communication demand that we now are "on call" 24/7. A cell phone "beeps" or "yodels" and we raise an "I have to get this" hand, putting up-close and personal conversations on hold. The ...

The twinning and pairing of us with someone else forms much of who we become in life and then dictates where we go and how our days are lived. We look to find that person who marks our smiles, understands our nods and puts up with our "this is who I am" stuff. They love us and we love them. This includes the dirty laundry, dropped underwear, candlelight dinners and perhaps the hijinks and horrors of raising children. We soar and delight in one another at the get go. Twinkling eyes and butterfly bellies make our toes tingle-and the rest of us gets a good amount of tingling, too! We make plans and overcome obstacles. Love is smiled into one another's eyes and curled into one another's arms. ...
