Rated 5 out of 5 by Andromeda from Based on the release "The Intouchables (2011)" Saw "The Intouchables" and it was quite a good story - only you had to read the subtitles. This version is in English. Although some variations from the 2011, it still is quite a good story and enjoyed watching it.


Are you on board with all the frenzy and fun accompanying The Gruffalo ? I absolutely know this is nothing new- I mean the original book came out nearly 15 years ago, Gruffalo's Child about five years later and then the movie back in 2009. This post is not about new hype... it's simply celebrating when a children's picture book becomes HUGE. I LOVE when that happens! YEA READING! YEA KIDS LIT! Yea cool authors and illustrators getting so much recognition! I think that's SO COOL!
In case you haven't heard about The Gruffalo , I'll tell you this... It's been a go to story in my house for years. It's fantastic rhyming. It's full of quick wit and thoughtfulness from the little guy. It's clever. It's SUPER fun to read aloud (you know making up voices for all the characters). It's a fantastic book. And the sequel is great too.
Here's where I send you to the official Gruffalo Site- tons of fun stuff here (games for the kids and all that).
Then there's the Gruffalo Shop, where you can buy anything Gruffalo imaginable. It's CRAZY what you can buy! I mean, your kid wants to be the Gruffalo for halloween? Sure thing, just buy the costume at the Gruffalo shop! HA!
Last fall a cousin of mine asked if I'd seen the movie of The Gruffalo yet. That was actually the first I'd heard of it. Right away I got my hands on a copy and we watched it for family night. SO CUTE! (Thanks Paige for cluing me in on that one!) My kids loved it too! Here's the trailer in case your late on this one like I was.


Some people change their ways when they see the light, others when they feel the heat. The hot Indian summer is in full force; and with political posturing a daily phenomenon; the suicide of Gajendra Singh Rathore in a Delhi rally came across not as a surprise; but fait accompli.
Kumar Vishwas summed up the capital's lackadaisical attitude when he brushed aside the hanging with a simple question; "Latak Gaya"? (Did he hang?). The political turf war over land acquisition has been hotting up; and with the Aam Aadmi Party lagging in the race to score political brownie points; another tragedy unfolded in full public view.
It is not for us to reason why; the Indian citizen should just see and die. Nonsense politics masquerades as viable alternatives for the masses; and television is the modern opium; insidious brand marketing its new mantra. Human life is certainly cheap; when the Aam Aadmi Party's UK wing offers a million dollar donation only to see televised excerpts of the much publicized spat between Kejriwal and the Yadav-Bhushan duo.
St. Kejriwal should enlighten us about his rationale and changing motivations. The idea of communalism is unfashionable in the nation; when all it refers to is mere community living. It is also probably the only country in the world; where the rights of the majority are often trampled on by sycophantic apologists. It is also equally popular for television anchors to go ballistic and cast aspersions on the RSS; and regular scotch drinkers to revile "Ghar Wapasi".
Bengali economists should take a serious look at the Hindu rate of population growth; and then reexamine their own hypocrisy. Najma Heptullah; the Parsis are quite self-sufficient; it is the Hindu upper castes who need reservations; 67 years of unsympathetic governments have systematically denied us basic human rights; in the traditional Indian sense.
The Prime Minister's political compulsions will only lead to further appeasement. There's nothing such as right; left or left of centre in the political dialectic; what we need is bull's eye focus; the hallowed nobility of development in the centre-stage. St. Kejriwal gives us daily sound-bytes for consumption; cleverly realizing that the medium is the verbal massage.
As Gajendra Singh Rathore is cremated in Dausa; famous for an exorcism temple; the evil of Indian politics refuses to be subsumed by a pantheon of self-anointed human gods. I never understood the appeal of morality; packaged and sold; consumed in meaningless elections.
Bhilwara has no spiritual connect with Boston; but if it makes you happy; then why the hell are you making it so sad? Make your political innings count; and create a better future; even if it is only for your own family. It may benefit us all.

The inside scoop on the business end of shows like 'Empire'
Let's make no mistake about it. Taraji Henson and Terrence Howard have already proven to be two incredibly hot artists in their own right, but what they offer to "Empire" is something unseen on television today. We've seen films like "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," "Breakin'," "House Party" and "8 Mile," but "Krush Groove" was probably the only one that was as much about entertainment as it was about the business end of the hip-hop entertainment industry. However, what the TV series "Empire" has done in 2015 is something all its own.
As a former General Manager and Senior Vice President of No Limit Records, I already know what it's like to be on the business side of music. Creating my former music label Me & Mine Entertainment also gave me even more insight on how independent labels work. So it's fascinating to watch a realistic version of it come to our television screens every Wednesday night.
Anyone with a Twitter, Facebook or Instagram account has run into independent artists trying to make it in the music industry. But so many of us see it from the artistic standpoint: we hear songs, we watch artists, we give selective head nods to a few nice-on-the-eyes models posing for those covers, and we bob our heads to the beat. But what "Empire" does is educate people about the business end while still showing off the sexier side of the hip-hop and R&B music industry.
On recent interviews with The Dream, Tyga, Timbaland, Serayah, Jussie Smollett and Quincy, artists have told their views on how they feel about the TV show and the contractual agreements. From a business perspective, I'll answer a few questions I keep hearing about the professional side of the arts.
Do you think an artist who already has a reputable name should do a show like "Empire"? Or, are artists getting too focused on television and not enough on music?
Reputable artists should consider doing a television show like "Empire." It gives them an opportunity to promote themselves in another form of entertainment. If they are trying to expand on their career by being versatile and proving that they have the ability to be actors, it is a great opportunity for them to do so. Artists need to look at ways to promote their brands. The music industry's income has declined significantly over the last 10 years, and artists who have always struggled financially have to focus on additional ways to generate income (i.e., acting, concerts, merchandising).
Do you think Jamal Lyon (played by Jussie Smollett) and Hakeem Lyon (played by Bryshere Y. Gray) made the right decision to be unsigned artists and give away their full freedom to companies like 20th Century Fox Television?
First and foremost, congratulations to Smollett. After one season on the show, he confirmed on Entertainment Weekly that he's now signed to Columbia Records. Now maybe he'd have been able to do that on his own, but it certainly didn't hurt to be on a show like "Empire" with a fan base steadily growing. Fans may be disappointed to find out the "Empire" songs won't make it to his album, but that doesn't change his natural singing, dancing and performing abilities that viewers have already witnessed.
I understand why television and music companies want to own all the rights to the music. They are putting all of the finances behind the show and doing all of the marketing and promotion. The record label owners want to make sure they are compensated as the artists start to grow in popularity.
However, I understand why artists who are established do not want to sign the agreement. I believe that new (and some current) artists are more likely to become popular on a show like "Empire" than they would just signing to a label. If you are an artist that wants to build your brand, you may want to sacrifice yourself to get your name out in the marketplace. For Smollett, that worked to his advantage. While other artists' names are becoming more recognizable from the show, they can look into developing a label to sign other artists (if it's not written out of the legal contract). Having artists signed to their labels will help diversify their income and put them in a better place to succeed. The music may be their passion, but they should all be focused on creating a consistent and lucrative business, too.
How accurate do you think "Empire" lifestyles are compared to the real music industry?
The business is fast paced, and if you are not on top of your business, others will take advantage of you. It made sense for Jamal to strike out alone. While he was singing "Keep Your Money," he was finding ways to rake in money to supplement the income he'd given up because of an ultimatum. For artists who may not have the freedom to walk away from a controlling record label, knowing your worth and understanding the contracts is extremely important. It is a dog eat dog business, and only the strong survive. Hard work is key, and you have to be relentless. When one door closed on Jamal from his father, Lucius, he kicked open the door to another opportunity. Don't miss out on the other elements that "Empire" offers to an untrained eye though. The fashion and industry parties are also given a spotlight in the show. "Empire" gives people on the outside looking in a glimpse of the business with a little "Hollywood" added.
Timbaland handles the music end of "Empire" songs for both artists and background music. Should music producers also consider this new trend in the hip-hop industry?
Music artists have been showing off their talents on movie soundtracks for decades. Even live bands have been doing it in the background of independent films and major films. Some producers must rely on a hot artist to make their beats better. A select few have such quality instrumentals that they can sell them on their own merit. But how often is it that you want to turn the volume to the top while watching a television show? Timbaland's talent is unquestionable. The music production is hot. I have to give them credit by getting an established talented producer. That alone truly legitimized the show. How they have comingled well-established actors into the fold with an incredible music producer like that creates a recipe for success.
In 2015 and with the way artists like Frank Ocean have been much more embraced musically, do you think it's been a long time coming to have an LGBT artist like Jamal on "Empire"?
People are people, and we are now in a time period where you judge someone by their talent. The genre of music seems to affect the speed in which some people are willing to accept that person. I think people are inherently good and want the best for others, but there are opinionated groups who are looking to judge people for reasons other than their actual talent. I am glad Frank Ocean has told the world who he is on his own terms, and I love his music. His talent is truly off the charts. It's difficult to question a man's talent when we know that first and his sexual identity second. Frank Ocean dropped that bomb in the right order. The look on Lucius' face after Jamal sang, "This the kind of song that make a man love a man," is nothing new. There will probably always be a group who will frown on the LGBT community. But that frown couldn't help but turn into a smile after seeing him perform at that white party. The blogs and the news briefs may have reported on him coming out, but there was no denying that that "You're So Beautiful" song was as hot as the songs from any other artist.
Does it make sense that Lucious Lyon (played by Terrence Howard) and his board of directors voted to save the company by taking it public on the stock market? Is that something record label owners should start doing?
It would be difficult for an independent record label to go public at this time. If they are just doing music, there would not be enough revenue generated for investors to be interested. The company would have to be involved with movies, television, concert promotions, digital technology and merchandising to make it all worthwhile. The '90s and early 2000s was the greatest time for independent labels. There were distribution opportunities, and these labels were able to provide a sound that major companies couldn't to the music listener. Things have changed considerably, and the only way the labels have been able to survive is the 360 deal.

SKU: 9780141394626 Category: Classics and Modern Classics
Kipling's best-loved work, now in a gorgeous new clothbound edition designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. These delectable and collectable editions are bound in high-quality, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. The story of Mowgli, the man-cub who is brought up by wolves in the jungles of Central India, is one of the greatest literary myths ever created. As he embarks on a series of thrilling escapades, Mowgli encounters such unforgettable creatures as the bear Baloo, the graceful black panther Bagheera and Shere Khan, the tiger with the blazing eyes. Other animal stories in The Jungle Books range from the dramatic battle between good and evil in 'Rikki-tikki-tavi' to the macabre comedy 'The Undertakers'. With The Jungle Books Rudyard Kipling drew on ancient beast fables, Buddhist philosophy and memories of his Anglo-Indian childhood to create a rich, symbolic portrait of man and nature, and an eternal classic of childhood. Rudyard Kipling was born in Bombay in 1865. In 1882 Kipling started work as a journalist in India, and while there produced a body of work, stories, sketches and poems – notably Plain Tales from the Hills(1888) – which made him an instant literary celebrity when he returned to England in 1889. His most famous works include The Jungle Book (1894), Kim (1901) and the Just So Stories (1902). Kipling refused to accept the role of Poet Laureate and other civil honours, but he was the first English writer to be awarded the Nobel Prize, in 1907. He died in 1936. Jan Montefiore has taught at the University of Kent since 1978, where she is now Professor of 20th Century English Literature.

Q: Exiting a program outside main function I m making a project with the allegro game library ,when the x button is clicked in the game
a function will be called ,i could then do std::exit(0) or the built in exit function of allegro "allegro_exit()" but my program won't exit well and it will be still open but not responding because i didn't return from the main function.
the only chance if i have is to do a while loop in the main function that performs stuff when the x button isn't clicked ,after the loop is done i could normally return from the main function,
however i don't think the while loop is good idea and it won't fit my program.
any chance of doing this in another way?

A: std::exit() function does all necessary cleanups and terminates a program in a normal way. If your program freezes and doesn't respond then consider to carefully review the code that is responsible for resources releasing (destructors etc.). Some libraries can react to exit function in some strange way so take this case in account. You can read more about std::exit() here.
Don't use std::abort() for normal program termination, because it is not aimed to be used for that and it doesn't cleanup after your application.
Anyway, I recommend you to review the architecture of your project and provide a return to the main function after all cleanups. while loop is ok, because it must exist somewhere to wait for user input.

Happy New Year guys!!! Here we are in 2019 together after almost 7 years of being friends via the blogosphere. This has been some journey. I remember back when I thought this blog would be predominantly about shoes, then it transitioned into "Something Old, Something New" and me showing all the thrifted items I would find. From traveling city to city checking out fashion week shows and interviewing fashionable guests and designers, to quitting my government job and moving to London to work for a fashion magazine. To now being an editorial stylist, entrepreneur and soon to be published author. God is awesome.
Recently I have been getting loads of inquiries about my coat collection. Here on the blog I rarely wore coats, but over on Instagram I oftentime post full outfits which include my coats. So I wanted to share the goods with you all.
The coats featured in this post are ones that I have acquired this winter season only. All are either thrifted or gifted.
Even in the wearing the same base outfit each coat ensues a different mood, and I think that's why I focus on such a telling coat collection. You don't have to work as hard on your outfit when your coat can easily tell the story for you, and besides your coat covers your outfit anyway.
Hey guys, I'm back this week and I'm talking about a summer staple with a bit of a unique spin. That summer wardrobe staple is none other than LINEN!!!
Linen is a lightweight fabric that undeniably coincides with summer months and it's volcanic temperatures. Linen is designed to keep us cool. It usually comes in classic styles and shapes and is a bit understated design wise. You can also bet on linen items being in a more muted or neutral color palette such as whites, beige or khaki.
I found this beautiful bold, vertical striped grey and teal linen beauty at a Goodwill thrift store several years ago. The dress really stood out because it was reminiscent of the old vintage house dresses my great grandma would wear. I can literally see her stomping around the house going from room to room with the remote control or some other random object in those large front pockets of this dress.
Aside from the nostalgia associated with this dress, I knew that that alone wouldn't be enough to justify this purchase. My goal is always to imagine several ways to wear an item, but if it's thrifted or vintage, I have to create ways to modernize it. Figure out how to make the something old, a something new. Check out this dress worn on the blog a few years back (here).
I paired my linen dress with these chic little white mules that I recently scored at Forever 21. Mules in any color or style are a go for me, but it's so funny because I haven't always had an affinity for them. I actually hated them a few years ago, on the brink of their comeback. Now onto my necklace. I coveted it for months, and waited for it to go on sale, then finally I got it. It's so cool, and such a conversation piece.
Do you guys remember that one warm day we had a few weeks ago - well that was this particular day. The weather was nice and divine, the trees were blooming and everything just seemed right in the world. Since then Spring has gone on what seems like permanent Spring Break, but let's not dwell on that fact. For now, we can either reminiscence on warmer days, or pray for more to come.
One of our photographers wanted to go shoot in a nearby park, and I was happy to oblige. He's a fantastic photographer that shoots with a Canon (my preferred camera brand). Canons agree with my melanin, so I knew that despite the bright sunlight and the random, deserted backdrop these pictures would be bomb.
My outfit is pretty relaxed. I'm wearing some old black silk BCBG joggers, and a thrifted striped silk blouse layered over another striped shirt. I figured I would flex my styling muscles a bit. Spring is my favorite transitional season because it's perfect for layering.

Patriots players still don't know who their coaches will be
Who will watch the players?
By Rich Hill@PP_Rich_Hill Apr 19, 2019, 12:33pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Patriots players still don't know who their coaches will be
The New England Patriots are finishing up their first week of conditioning for the 2019 season, but there remains a big gap on the roster.
Who the heck are the coaches?
"They haven't told us, so we're just kind of just working out right now," cornerback Stephon Gilmore said, according to MassLive. "[We've had] little meetings, but nothing that we know yet."
When you look at the Patriots website, there is still just one defensive coach listed: safeties coach Steve Belichick, who is entering his fourth season in the role and eighth season as a defensive coach.
The offensive side isn't much better, with old timers offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia, and running backs coach Ivan Fears- all of whom were with the Patriots back in 2001- and youngster tight ends coach Nick Caley.
So who is coaching these players? Apparently the players themselves, according to Gilmore.
"We've got a lot of good players in the secondary, so we all coach each other up, and we all make each other better," Gilmore said. "We push each other, so no matter who's coaching us, they're going to put us in the position to make plays."
The Patriots experienced a mass exodus of their coaching staff this offseason with wide receivers coach Chad O'Shea, assistant quarterbacks coach Jerry Schuplinski, and cornerbacks coach Josh Boyer joining linebackers coach Brian Flores with the Miami Dolphins. Additionally, defensive line coach Brendan Daly left for the Kansas City Chiefs and recently-hired defensive coordinator Greg Schiano already resigned. And coaching assistant Atif Austin returned to the college ranks of Northern Illinois.
Outside of the special teams unit, with Joe Judge and Cameron Achord working together again, and the weight room, with Moses Cabrera and Deron Mayo, there are plenty of questions. But there's one definitive answer at the most important position of head coach.
"We've got a great coach," Gilmore said, referencing head coach Bill Belichick. "It's the National Football League. People go and come, so (you've) got to be able to adjust. I'm pretty sure the coaches we have will put us in the best position to make plays."
So let's take a look at the vacancies and barring the Patriots spending one of their draft picks on a coach (I'm kidding), let's make some projections.
Offensive vacancies
Wide receivers coach
Shockingly, the Patriots don't appear to have anyone on the coaching roster prepared to take over for the position. But one of the benefits of having consistency in the top ranks means that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels could be a little more involved in the role, as could director of player personnel Nick Caserio, who was wide receiver coach for the Patriots for a pretty good season in 2007.
A dark horse candidate would be DeMarcus Covington, who played wide receiver in college, but he's spent far more time coaching on the defensive side of the ball.
Assistant quarterbacks coach
The Patriots hired Mick Lombardi, son of former team executive Michael Lombardi, to the coaching staff this offseason and he makes sense in this role. Lombardi previously worked as an assistant in 2011-12 before joining the San Francisco 49ers and New York Jets, ultimately serving as an assistant quarterbacks coach for the past two seasons. He makes plenty of sense in this role.
This position is interesting because there isn't a current vacancy, but the Patriots have to be prepared for Dante Scarnecchia's eventual retirement. The team hired Carmen Bricillo from Youngstown State this offseason to be the assistant offensive line coach, so there isn't a major question mark for the job itself.
The real question is what the team decides to do with assistant coach Cole Popovich, who is entering his 5th year with the team and who has spent the majority of his time learning from Scarnecchia. Will the team have two offensive line assistants? Will Scarnecchia retire soon? Or will Popovich, the lifetime offensive lineman and line coach have to find a new job?
Defensive vacancies
Defensive coordinator
Will the Patriots even have one? New England didn't have an official defensive coordinator last season, although Brian Flores owned the responsibilities. There are only three real options at this point:
1) Bret Bielema, the former head coach of the Wisconsin Badgers and Arkansas Razorbacks who is entering his second season with the team. He expected to be the Patriots defensive coordinator prior to the hiring of Greg Schiano, and perhaps now he'll actually get the title. More on him in a bit.
2) Bob Fraser was hired as a Schiano assistant roughly one day before Schiano resigned. Still, Fraser has experience as a defensive coordinator and could lead the same defense that the Patriots planned on having under Schiano.
3) Belichick will do it himself. I'm leaning towards this options.
Defensive line coach
I expect Bret Bielema to be the defensive line coach with Joe Kim as his assistant, even without an official title. I would also expect DeMarcus Covington, who is entering his third season with the team, to help out with the entire defensive front seven because he has prior experience coaching defensive linemen and linebackers.
Bielema could ultimately call the defensive plays from this position, just like how Flores did it as a linebackers coach. In this scenario, I would expect Bielema to hold this job for 2019 and get promoted to official defensive coordinator in 2020, with Covington becoming the defensive line coach in 2020.
Linebackers coach
Former linebacker Jerod Mayo joined the team and reportedly has the position, although it wouldn't be surprising to see him with a defensive coaching assistant title at least for a season. Fraser, who has many years of experience as a linebackers coach, could hold an advisory and mentorship role for Mayo as Mayo learns his footing as a coach.
Covington could also chip in for this role, too, as he helped coach the position for the Patriots in 2019 as Flores was focusing more on the full defense.
Cornerbacks coach
There is only one real option for this vacancy, with Mike Pellegrino entering his fifth season coaching with the Patriots. Pellegrino helped coach the cornerbacks last season and is a natural fit to take over the job.
This leaves just one coaching assistant remaining in Brian Belichick, who is entering his third year as a coach and fourth with the team. His older brother Steve had to serve as an assistant for four seasons prior to getting a promotion and I would expect Brian to follow the same trajectory.
I would also be curious to see if Brian flips to the offensive side of the ball to help out with the wide receivers, setting up an opportunity for him to become the wide receivers coach in 2020. That would make some sense and would allow Bill Belichick to have a son on both sides of the ball.
All of this remains to be seen. We might not find out until offseason training activities begin in May.

Accurate Technique Developed To Map Regulatory DNA Regions
David Jennings June 3, 2016
As the name infers, "junk DNA" has long been considered to be DNA with no biological significance other than as a filler between genes. Recent advances however have overturned these prior beliefs, as scientists now understand that the regions between genes are necessary for a number of vital functions.
Mutations within these regions of "junk DNA" can inhibit development of humans in all stages of life, from prenatal to old age. Until now, finding these indirect regulatory regions of DNA has been elusive. Scientists from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Max Planck Institute (MPI) have teamed together to develop a method that is now able to find these non-gene encoding regions that have such extensive influence over active genes.
Genes within our DNA possess extensive assembly instructions, similar to a computer language, for putting together the proteins that go on to form complicated structures within our body; structures that serve a wide variety of essential bodily functions. In order to make sure that every protein completes its task at the correct time, and in the correct place, the activation of the corresponding genes must be tightly controlled. The processes that ensure both the genes and proteins are synchronized are extensive and complex, involving a variety of different feedback mechanisms.
Prof. Patrick Cramer, head of Molecular Biology at MPI, states that regulatory regions of DNA are essential for human development, the immune response and tissue preservation, and also play a critical role in the prevention and management of various diseases. For instance, those patients who have been diagnosed with cancer or heart diseases exhibit a number of mutations in these regulatory DNA regions.
In order to move from gene to protein, DNA must first be encoded into RNA. Unfortunately, RNA is usually short lived, and so it is very hard to isolate these molecules in order to examine which genes are responsible for which proteins. They have been elusive and difficult to find, until now. Researchers supplied cells with a "dummy molecule" that served as an anchor to cells. The cells absorbed these dummy molecules into their RNA during the course of protein synthesis. By later "fishing out" these anchors, the researchers were able to identify the transient RNA molecules that they were attached to, and thus examine them.
Now, researchers will be able to identify exactly how non-coding, regulatory regions of DNA influence coding regions of DNA, and how this coding DNA then synthesizes proteins, Of particular significance is the ability to now examine the regulatory frameworks that take place in controlling the amount of protein synthesized from the DNA level.
Future scientists will now be able to identify the "molecular switches" that control the synthesis of different proteins, which will play particular significance in examining how proteins are synthesized to combat disease. The potential implications of such knowledge could be endless. Already the researchers have planned a future study to apply their technique to blood cells to understand how HIV infection progresses at a DNA level.

Random musings of Jeromey Balderrama

Championship fallout, Cutler cries
January 24, 2011 August 23, 2017 Jeromey Balderrama
What a crazy couple of games yesterday! I love Championship Sunday. In in a football sense, it's probably the best weekend in the game – even better than the Super Bowl. Instead of one over-hyped game, you get 2 hyped games, that typically deliver in some fashion.
I thought that the Jets/Steelers game was going to be the one to watch, but it turns out Bears/Packers was a more compelling game. Not only was it closer at the end, but it was packed with tons of drama. You have CSU's own Caleb Hanie leading the Bears from a 14-point deficit and putting them in a spot to win the game. While I began the game rooting for the Packers, I thought a bears win would have been incredibly compelling, if anything for the 2 weeks of distractions this QB situation would cause.
As a football fan I'm extremely grateful for the sacrifice the players make, just so that we can be entertained, and I do feel bad when a player is injured. I don't know the workings of Jay Cutler's body, and when he says he's injured, I have no reason not to believe him. At the same time, players need to understand that the perception of a situation can be worse than the situation itself – and this one of those cases. It's one thing when fans are questioning his toughness, but when you had players on Twitter (one of the many reasons why Twitter is so compelling) questioning his toughness, it apparently moved Cutler to tears when he found out.
The issue isn't whether Cutler got hurt. We'll out find out in the next day how bad the injury is, which will lead to vindication to one side of the debate. However, the issue lies with the actions that took place before and after the injury that cause the perception of his injury to take shape.
Before the injury Cutler was playing poorly, and Cutler's body language reflected his displeasure at the way the game was going. As much as I hate Tom Brady seemingly berating other players on the sidelines (sometimes for his own mistakes), it's at least a better reaction than hanging your head and staring at the ground.
Then came the moment that the Bears decided to pull Cutler. Cutler didn't go back to the locker room to conduct further tests, nor did he even put an ice pack on his knee. He didn't put on a headset or try to huddle around his replacements when the came back to the bench. Cutler simply sat down, by himself and stared at the ground the rest of the game, completely disengaged. At that point, I think Cutler would have better served himself being off the field or even out of the stadium, at least he could use the "we're looking at the injury" excuse.
Again, I'm not going to question the guy's heart. Only the training staff knows the severity of his injury at the time, and only Cutler knows how he felt during the game. Unfortunately sometimes in life, perception can be more important than the actual chain of events – and I think to many Bears fans (as well as Cutler critics), the perception speaks volumes.
I'm sorry Bears fans, you guys had a good run. As crazy as Denver's QB situation is, I'm just glad that Cutler's no longer a Bronco. Denver has enough controversy already.

Cutler Bowl (help wanted)
August 29, 2009 August 23, 2017 Jeromey Balderrama
Tomorrow Denver's biggest villain since. at least Ashlie Lelie, Eddie Kennison, Brandon Marshall (but who knows?) is coming back to Denver for his home-coming. Who would have thought anyone would be excited to see a pre-season game, but I can only imagine the amount of vitriol that is going to come from the Orange & Blue fans in the stands when Cutler takes the field.
I'm sorry to say that I actually have a Broncos Cutler jersey in my closet. Even though I had the Cutler #6, I still couldn't resist wearing my John Lynch jersey last season. Now I have a perfectly bad Cutler jersey and I'm trying to come up with a ceremonious way to get rid of the jersey. We'll be tailgating at the stadium, so tomorrow would be the perfect opportunity to destroy it. The obvious answer is to burn it, but I think the stadium security and police would frown upon that. One idea I have is to use it as a doormat, but that seems to obvious.
Basically I'm looking for the perfect idea on how I could destroy my Cutler jersey. Any suggestions?

Hopefully the last Cutler post ever
April 6, 2009 August 23, 2017 Jeromey Balderrama
The picture of Cutler showing his Bear excitement was too classic to wait for a post, but I have plenty of thoughts over what transpired last weekend in Denver. Rather than rehash the whole scenario, I just wanted to offer a few random thoughts.
First off, Cutler had to go. He could talk about feeling snubbed by McDaniels all he wants – but when he stops taking call from the guy who signs his checks, Cutler becomes just another disgruntled employee who should be shown the door. The nerve that he had to claim that he never received any calls, and never wanted to be traded said all that you needed to know about his character. Despite what really happened – and we may never know – this situation was beyond repair.
Now the Bears, that was definitely a team I didn't expect to be vying for Cutler, but it all made sense. I think this was a good move by both teams. People can debate who got the better of the deal, but only time will tell. It's up to the Broncos to make smart decisions with these picks, which they've honestly could have done better with our First Round track record. I still think Mark Sanchez may end up in Orange and Blue before we know it.
I like Kyle Orton. He's obviously not as talented at Cutler, but is a winning quarterback who did throw for 3,000 yards last year. When you considered the other quarterbacks on the trading block (Jason Campbell, Brady Quinn), Orton is was probably the most consistent of all.
While the dust settles, it's still frustrating to think that Bronco fans have endured all of this drama. After being known as one of the more stable and quiet organizations in the NFL, to have this kind of circus is very Dallas-like. I'm sick of hearing about Cutlergate every time I turned on ESPN.

Cutler-Gate
March 21, 2009 August 23, 2017 Jeromey Balderrama
Ever since that last weekend in February, when the rumors circulated that Cutler was about to be traded, I've tried to lie low and simply let this blow over. Here we are three weeks later, with the same problem that only seems to be getting bigger.
When I first heard this, I was furious at Coach McDaniels. The thing that made the Broncos such a great coaching prospect was the fact that we had such a prolithic offense, led by a young and talented quarterback – and somehow McDaniels managed to screw all of that up. He got rid of Offensive Coordinator Jeremy Bates, basically fixing something that wasn't broken. Then when the opportunity arised to get his coveted pupil Matt Cassel, it became clear that a 32-year-old first-time head coach was going with what was most familiar with him. Stupid? Maybe, but understandable in this case. Nonetheless my blame was on McDaniels for that first day.
Then came Cutler's reaction, which made me flip-flop and turn my frustration towards him. I understand how initially he felt the way that many fans did, but he has to realize that this is a business, that at one time or another players' names are brought up in trades. Cutler hasn't reached that elite untouchable status of Manning. Even Tom Brady, who is always compared to Manning as the best QB, was probably discussed in trades.
Broncos fan-wise, it's been agonizing to have every trade scenario under the sun that involves your QB – none of them good. If a team's looking for a QB, they don't have a good one to offer you.
Peter King offers an excellent recap of the situation. He summarizes Cutler's predicament the best by writing:
Maybe Cutler can't take the dissing he feels from McDaniels, or maybe he's fabricating the dissing to justify in his own mind going somewhere else. I don't know. But I do know this: If I had the choice of Denver, Tampa Bay, Detroit and the Jets, and the Denver coach has worked successfully with Tom Brady and Matt Cassel, I'd be thinking very hard about not burning a bridge that can't be reconstructed.
The more I've been reading, the more I think the person responsible for this mess is Cutler's Agent Bus Cook. Read this article and take that into account. Bus Cook has been associated with four words: The Brett Favre Saga – need I say more?
Right now I wish that the NFL was playing games, because winning would likely cure this problem. In the meantime, I just wish owner Pat Bowlen would call Cutler and McDaniels into his offense office, then walk out and lock the door behind him until these grown men can work out their issues.

You go to the doctor and tell him what you think, and why, and then he will tell you what he thinks after he examines you.
What makes you think you have a tapeworm?
I have two young puppies that have been medicated once by the D-Worm brand tape worm remover. It seems to have taken care of the problem but should I follow up with another dosage later on or is one enough. Thanks.


Today I am combining my Y and Z posts because I missed yesterday. Since I am still in pain, this a short recipe, but has great flavors. Another plus to this is that it cooks very fast. I make this all the time because zucchini is a family favorite.
Start off by heating a pan with oil on medium heat. Slice the onion and add it in along with the red pepper flakes. Mince and add the garlic 2-3 minutes later. Let it cook until the onions are just less than translucent. Mix in all of the zucchini. Add in the rest of the seasonings, in the amount of your preference. Cook until the zucchini is to your liking. Personally, my family likes it on the soft side, but many people prefer it to be more firm. I often serve this with chicken cutlets or steak.
I would just like to give a big thank you to all of the people who have read and commented on my posts. The A to Z Challenge was exactly that. I had to overcome a few obstacles, but I did finish and I am happy that I did not give up. Although it was very challenging I really enjoyed participating and am excited for next year!
For my W post here's a quick and easy Faith's A Foodie recipe for a delicious soup: "W"hite Bean and Italian Sausage. This soup is pretty thick and hardy and I love to make it in the Fall, but it's really good to serve any time of the year.
Get the stock simmering and in a second pot, heat the oil and brown the sausage in it. When it's browned, add the stock, the beans with their liquid, garlic, onion, carrot, celery and new potatoes. Bring it all to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer it all for about 40 minutes or until veg is soft.
When that's all done, puree the soup in a blender but be careful because this is not easy and you could really burn yourself. Pour the pureed soup back into the pot and season with salt and pepper to taste. Of course, I add Parmesan cheese on the top to garnish, but I put Parm cheese on just about everything I eat. It's all about how you like it. Enjoy!
Heat a large sauce pan, pour in extra virgin olive oil. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. After the onions turn translucent, add the prosciutto and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about 3 minutes. Then pour the vodka in and let it reduce. Mix in the tomatoes along with salt, onion powder, and a small pinch of Italian seasonings. Once it comes to a simmer, stir in the parm cheese and heavy cream. Be sure to stir everything frequently.
Pour the sauce over boiled penne. It tastes good just like that, or with shrimp/chicken. No matter what, I always shake more parm cheese on and add freshly chopped basil. Enjoy!
This soup is so delicious! It is creamy, refreshing, and spicy all at the same time. Since this is not one of my own recipes, I have am giving an ingredient list and how I would prepare this soup. I am sorry this is so vague. I don't even have all of the measurements; it is very hard to tell how much of something goes into a soup just by tasting and eating it. This can be an opportunity for you to really put your spin on the dish!
This is everything that I know about the soup. Once again, I am sorry for this semi-recipe. Get creative and improvise. It is easy to fix a soup if you mess it up!
A-Z Letter U is for "Uh-oh"
U is for uh-oh. Because I dropped the ball with my T post. I had a super busy day yesterday, but I really thought I would have enough time to go to school, get my homework done, have dinner with my grandparents, attend the science fair and still get my T post done. Complete epic failure. I'm so sorry! I have every intention of posting that recipe for Thai soup and keeping up with the rest of this challenge. I promise to come back later and post it. In the meanwhile, TGIF everyone. Because I am sure glad the weekend is here and I can rest up before another round of busy events and commitments steal me and my time away!!!
I can't believe we are almost done with the A-Z Challenge. But here we are on the Letter S. S has to be for sushi. We love to eat to sushi in my family and for the longest time I have been wanting to learn how to make it at home. Recently, I got my wish.
I chopped up to for the different kinds of sushi. YUM!!
Trying to get the hang of rolling the sushi tight is not too easy.
More ingredients to create the sushi!
And then....after all of that, Mr. Dave made us this amazing dinner.
Teriyaki chicken, pork, Asian slaw and a bunch of yummy veggies!!
A friend of our family, Mr. Dave, is a chef and he was gracious enough to invite us over for dinner and a cooking lesson. We stayed there from 4:00 in the afternoon until 11:00 at night and we all had to get up for church in the morning. Once my mom and her friends get talking, there is no stopping them! It was a ton of fun though and the best part was that I got to learn how to make pork wontons, four different types of sushi, and this amazing Thai chicken soup (which I will be featuring for letter T tomorrow).
I think my favorite type of sushi is the California roll. The hardest technique to master was how to roll the sushi real tight. After a little while, I got the hang of it, but I definitely need a lot more practice. I really have to thank Mr. Dave and his family (they have four kids and then there were the five of us) for taking the time to teach me how to make sushi. I was like a sponge, and soaked up all the cooking instruction that I could get so I really, truly appreciate that he did all that, just for me.
Are you a fan of sushi? Do you make yours at home or get take out? See you all back here tomorrow for letter T!
Hello! My name is Faith and I'm a foodie. Even though I'm only 13 years old, I love to cook and try all kinds of new foods. I love to eat in, eat out and I love to write about it. Follow me and you'll see. Remember, if it's not Yum, don't eat some!

POWAY: Retired nurse to be modern-day homesteader in Nebraska
By ANDREA MOSS - amoss@nctimes.com
In a modern-day version of many pioneers' story, a Poway womanis preparing to relocate to the Midwest after accepting a Nebraskatown's offer of free land for people willing to homestead theproperty.
Beatrice, Neb., announced its intention to give away three plotsof land in the town last May.
On Thursday, Beatrice City Attorney Tobias Tempelmeyer said thetown has received about 60 applications from people ---- includingsome as far away as India ---- who were interested in the freeland, so far.
Poway resident Therese Ebert was the first to actually commit tohomesteading in Beatrice, though, the city attorney said.
Beatrice's City Council approved the deal with her last week,starting a clock that gives Ebert a year and a half to build a homeon an 83-foot-by-140-foot plot of land.
The property will be hers, free and clear, if she lives on itfor at least three years, Tempelmeyer said.
Ebert, a 59-year-old retired nurse who lives in Poway's GardenRoad area, said she has never been to Nebraska, let alone seenBeatrice or the lot she will soon call "home."
She said she plans to move from Poway to Beatrice by April,however, because the homestead deal presents a chance to own a home---- something Ebert said she otherwise would be unable to do.
She described the move as another adventure in analready-interesting life that has included time as a resident ofWashington, D.C., Maryland and France before she moved toCalifornia in 1980.
"No matter what age you are, every day you write a new chapterin your life," said Ebert, who described herself as "very sociable"but someone who enjoys a quiet, solitary lifestyle. "And this willjust be another chapter to my life."
Homesteading played a major role in the nation's history,helping to settle states west of the Mississippi River.
A steady stream of American citizens and immigrants headed inthat direction in the wake of the Homestead Act of 1862, whichoffered 160 acres of free land to people who lived on, farmed andimproved the land for five years.
The very first homestead was established in Beatrice, 40 milessouth of Lincoln, Nebraska, and along the Big Blue River.
Today, the Homestead National Monument of America is justoutside the town of about 13,000.
Tempelmeyer said Beatrice residents farm corn, soybeans orwheat, help build lawn mowers at three manufacturing plants intown, or work at a diverse group of other businesses in itsindustrial park.
"It's big enough that it's got the amenities ---- you can stillget a gallon of milk at 9 at night or go to a movie," the cityattorney said about the town. "Yet it's small enough that you'regoing to know your neighbors (and) you can let your kids go out andplay."
Officials in Beatrice, whose website includes the motto, "rootsto call home," came up with the idea of offering free land as a wayto get a handful of lots the town acquired due to unpaid taxes backinto private hands.
Tempelmeyer estimated the cost of building a home on one of theparcels at $80,000 to $90,000.
Ebert, who is single, said she learned of the homestead offerDec. 8 while researching homesteading online after her France-bornfather asked her if the practice still existed.
"When I saw it, I thought, 'what an opportunity,'" Ebert said."I left the states to go to school in France when I was 15, so itdoesn't faze me to leave California to go do something like that.Having been raised back east, I'm used to four seasons, so thatpart of it doesn't bother me."
Although she will be leaving family and friends behind inCalifornia, Ebert said the friendliness of Tempelmeyer and otherBeatrice staff members she talked to by phone leaves her confidentshe will make new friends in Nebraska.
She also said she and those close to her will probably visiteach other often.
"San Diego will always have a special place in my heart," Ebertsaid. "But you always have your memories. And you keep them in yourheart."

I've been consistently impressed with Kat Von D products since trying her Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette.
Now I can add Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme to my list of faves from the brand. This is one of those beauty products that promises A LOT - and it actually delivers. The smooth, easily blendable and highly pigmented concealer offers full coverage for under eye and blemishes, and with it's added brightening finish, it was also be used to contour and highlight.
That makes this a true beauty multi-tasker that's worth every penny.
I used just the tiniest amount on my Kat Von D Lock-It Edge Concealer Brush and my under eye circles were instantly covered. The shade, Deep 33 (Shown above) was perfect for me.
Note: There are an impressive 21 Shades in all. The Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme shade range even includes a pure white, White Out, for dramatic highlighting and mixing into other shades to create custom tones. .
Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Creme was creamy and hydrating without feeling or looking thick or cakey. The concealer lasted all day into the night with no transfer or fading - even on very hot or rainy days.
I also loved using a bit on the bridge of my nose and cheekbones when I needed to get out of the door in a hurry in the morning. The highlight was subtle and natural, but just made my skin look fresher and prettier.
