Hasta La Gadget!

When you think of the aches and pains that often accompany old age, you’d imagine women in their 70s and 80s taking it easy — not playing a competitive sport. But that’s what a group of grandmas and great-grandmas are doing in a Bolivian town, all while wearing skirts.

The Associated Press captured this amazing video of the grandmas at one of their weekly handball meets. From the video, handball appears to be something of a cross between soccer and basketball.

The women say handball actually helps their aches and pains subside, rather than aggravating them. “There are days my knees hurt from rheumatism, but when I play it goes away,” 77-year-old Rosa Lima told The Associated Press.

Lima and the others are among the 1,000 seniors who play sports locally. Others have said it not only helps them stay active, but also maintain their weight.

And that’s not the only benefit. The sport gives the women social interaction — something so important for older people. Studies have shown that social interaction helps keep older adults mobile and their minds sharp. Activity also helps improve one’s mood and reduces stress.

Well done, ladies!

“How to Get Away with Murder” ended its Season 1 run with shocking revelations, including the truth behind Lila’s death. The two-hour finale tied up loose ends, opened a new case and replayed exactly what happened between Lila, Griffin, Sam and Rebecca. Here’s what went down on the Season 1 finale of “How to Get Away with Murder.” (Spoilers ahead, obviously.)

Michaela gets her engagement ring back.
Towards the end of the episode, Laurel meets Michaela at a bar and hands her the engagement ring she thought she lost the night they took Sam to the woods. “I found it in Connor’s car as soon as you said you’d lost it,” Laurel says. “You were a disaster that night and I could tell you wanted to go to the police. If you thought they could find it, you’d stay quiet.” That’s what friends are for … maybe?

Oliver tests positive for HIV.
Connor’s boyfriend Oliver suggests they both get tested for STIs, and while Connor stresses about his results, Oliver is the one whose test comes back positive for HIV.

What happened to Rudy.
In not-so-shocking news, Rebecca lied about knowing Rudy, the student who lived in Wes’ apartment before him. Turns out, the night Lila was murdered Rebecca gave him a drug called “Purple X,” which prompted him to have a nervous breakdown. This explains the nail marks on the wall in the apartment. Rebecca called the cops and Rudy was committed to the psych ward.

We finally know who killed Lila.
FRANK! Frank killed Lila! It went down like this: Lila walked in on Griffin and Rebecca hooking up after Rebecca texted Lila from Griffin’s phone, telling her to come over to his frat house. Lila went back to her sorority house and up to the roof. She called Sam and accused him of not loving her and not wanting their baby. He came to the sorority house, convinced her otherwise and said he was going home to break up with Annalise. Sam then called Frank, who is apparently the neighborhood hit man, and said, “It’s Sam. I need you to do what we talked about. You owe me.” What for? Who knows. Frank then strangled Lila and dumped her in the water tank. Rebecca showed up later that night, looking for Lila, drugged up on Purple X, and found her in the water tank. (You can watch it all unfold in the video above.)

Rebecca’s tied up, freed, let go and found … dead.
Yup. Rebecca’s dead. After poking some holes in Rebecca’s story, the lawyers in training freak out and tie Rebecca up in the bathroom. “Sam might’ve been innocent,” Wes says to Annalise when she comes to the rescue. Somehow they transport Rebecca to the Keating office/home and try to figure out what to do. Their idea: a fake trial. Sure, why not. Nothing comes of this, thanks in part to Asher, who busts into the house demanding to know if Annalise found out about his relationship with Bonnie. The crew moves Rebecca to the basement, and after a bunch of conversations about what to do next, they find that someone let her go.

But, and this is a big but, in the final moments of the episode, “HTGAWM” reveals the real kicker: Rebecca’s dead. The camera pans to show Rebecca, bloody beneath the stairs. Frank and Annalise stare at each other. “Was it you?” Annalise asks Frank. “No, Annalise, you know I’m not that guy. Besides, I thought it was you.” Her response: “Because I’m that guy? Of course not.” Then Frank says what we’re all thinking, “Now what?”

2014 has been a wonderful year for the ever-competitive Chinese smartphone market. We saw the birth of new brands, the record of world’s thinnest phone broken three times, and a couple of companies entering India with great reception (although not wi…

VLC, the media player that doesn’t discriminate, is back in a big way. While we expected it to come back for iOS (it was in a kind of regional beta rollout), we weren’t sure when it might return in an official capacity. It’s now out and ready for download, streaming fans. The app, which plays locally stored content, is back … Continue reading
