Let's get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...
Doug Pederson and the Jaguars used a 1940s playbook to come back and beat the Chargers - SB Nation
After the first half Saturday night, it looked like the Jacksonville Jaguars were going to see their season end at the hands of the Los Angeles Chargers. Trevor Lawrence threw four first-half interceptions, and the Jaguars trailed at the halftime break by a score of 27-7. But in the second half, Lawrence and the Jacksonville offense got on track, and thanks to some timely plays on the defensive side of the ball, the Jaguars climbed back into the game. And with under two minutes left, the Jaguars faced a critical 4th and 1 at the Los Angeles 41-yard line. With 1:28 left in the game, and the Jaguars trailing 30-28, they could have settled for a long field goal attempt. Pederson, however, had a different idea. The coach put his offense back onto the field, and pulled something out from deep in the playbook.
The Jaguars are the first team in NFL history to have the worst record in the NFL (including ties) and win a playoff game the following season.

Doug Pederson's greatness should've never been in doubt - PhillyVoice
Still, I continue laugh in the face of the "It was all Frank Reich!" comments I've heard over the last half-decade. Why the rush to discredit the guy who dropped 41 points on the greatest defensive mind of all time with a backup quarterback? It was weird, as a section of the Eagles' fan base came off as ungrateful for the heights that Pederson's 2017 Super Bowl brought. Maybe Pederson never acted or looked like the ideal Philadelphia coach, but banners fly forever and the one that hangs at Lincoln Financial Field continues to go strong. Next up for a Pederson? A likely divisional round matchup with with Big Red and the Chiefs. The narrative writes itself.
Wild Card, Wild Comeback: Jaguars erase 27-point deficit to stun Chargers in playoffs - Big Cat Country
The 27-point comeback victory was the third-largest in the history of the NFL playoffs. The Jaguars did not lead throughout the entire game until there was 0:00 left on the clock.
It Was Always the Jags—Whether the Chargers Liked It or Not - The Ringer
And let's talk about Pederson. There's a reason Zay Jones was wide open on that touchdown and Marvin Jones wide open on his. There's a reason why this young team entered a locker room down 20 points at halftime and emerged unflustered. Pederson is the adult in the room, the actual championship coach that the Jaguars once believed they had found when they hired Urban Meyer last offseason. The same message Pederson gave in his halftime interview—just keep "chipping away"—is the same message he gave after the comeback overtime win against the Cowboys. "Our guys—I don't really think they worry too much about where it is, what the score is," Pederson said. "I really don't. We just keep chipping away. I think it's just a matter of the guys just kind of trusting in themselves and gaining confidence as the game goes on." Pederson can flat-out coach. He's aggressive, choosing to attempt a two-point conversion after a Chargers penalty set the football at the 1-yard line with his team down four—and that choice would eventually ensure the Jaguars' game-winning field goal kick was not a game-tying field goal kick. He's a developer, as evidenced by Lawence's steady improvement this season. And he is a schemer, a wicked play designer who called a precious timeout to get into the exact look he knew would win the game for the Jaguars on fourth-and-inches.
Jaguars come back from 27-point deficit to stun Chargers, advance to AFC Divisional Round - NFL.com
Jags overcome disastrous first half for an incredible comeback victory. Down 27-0 with fewer than 2 minutes remaining in the first half, Jacksonville stormed back for an improbable victory. The Jags outscored L.A. 24-3 in the second half, culminated by Riley Patterson's game-winning field goal as time expired to send Doug Pederson's club to the Divisional Round. We'll get to Trevor Lawrence's miraculous turnaround shortly. First, let's discuss a young team that didn't pack it in when everything went wrong. Four interceptions. A punt that bounded off a Jags player for another turnover. An offense that couldn't generate traction. A defense that kept giving up third-down conversions. Pederson's team never surrendered. Yard by yard, the Jaguars battled back into the game. After a late touchdown cut the deficit to 30-26, Pederson elected to go for 2 points after a Joey Bosa unsportsmanlike conduct placed the ball at the 1-yard line. Lawrence dove into the end zone for the conversion to cut the deficit to two. The defense then came up huge, forcing a three-and-out. And on the biggest call of the game, fourth-and-1 from the Chargers' 41 with 1:27 remaining, Pederson lined up in big personnel. L.A. bought the inside run, and Travis Etienne dashed to the edge for a 25-yard gain setting up the game-winning field goal. It was a masterful call. Fearless.
Eagles in jeopardy of losing in-house coordinator replacement candidates? - BGN
Eagles defensive passing game coordinator/defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson is interviewing for the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator job, according to a report from Jonathan Jones. The Browns have interviewed former Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz (!) and former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores thus far. They're also waiting to interview Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach/defensive assistant Sean Desai. It's not hard to see why Wilson is an attractive candidate. The Eagles' secondary has regularly played well under his guidance. Darius Slay was a Pro Bowl selection this year while James Bradberry made second-team All-Pro. C.J. Gardner-Johnson led the NFL in interceptions despite only switching to safety and joining the Eagles' roster shortly before the season. Undrafted rookie free agent Reed Blankenship has played much better than reasonably expected when called upon. Wilson gave off an impressive impression when he spoke to Eagles reporters during a rare press conference in training camp ahead of the 2022 season. He'd probably do very well in an interview setting. The Eagles are high on Wilson. They likely would've promoted him to defensive coordinator had Gannon been hired away last year. He's a natural candidate, then, to replace Gannon if the Eagles' DC gets a coaching job. One would think the opportunity to remain in Philly for the same position would entice Wilson ... but we'll see if they offer it to him. In the event that Gannon stays, Wilson could certainly look to go elsewhere.

Which Jalen Hurts will we see in the postseason? - NBCSP
1. The biggest question facing the Eagles a week before they begin play in the postseason is what type of Jalen Hurts should we expect? Will he be the guy we saw against the Giants who was so limited in everything he did? Will he be the Jalen Hurts we saw before the injury in Chicago? Somewhere in between? Here's why I think he'll be OK. By the time the Eagles play next weekend, Hurts will be five weeks out from suffering that shoulder injury on Dec. 18. While ideally the Eagles would have wrapped up the top seed against the Cowboys or Saints and Hurts could have sat out last weekend, I don't think anything happened in the Giants game to set him back significantly. The Eagles went into that game with one goal: Win the game with a minimum of energy expended while keeping the offense as vanilla as possible and protecting Hurts as much as possible. And while he was credited with nine rushing attempts, four were kneel downs, and on the others, he was as careful as you could possibly be while still playing professional football. It was encouraging to see Hurts out at practice Friday throwing, and he's still got another week to rest and heal and recover. Hurts and Nick Sirianni are being intentionally vague, but my hunch is we'll see a pretty close approximation of the Jalen Hurts we saw the first 13 weeks of the season by next weekend. And if they're going to put together a deep playoff run, the Eagles need a Jalen Hurts who has all his abilities at his disposal. When he does, this offense is virtually unstoppable. When he doesn't, we know what that looks like, too. Hurts won't be 100 percent. But I'll be surprised if he's not close.
Spadaro: Nick Sirianni sheds light on what makes this team special - PE.com
1. Head Coach Nick Sirianni dropped into the studio at the NovaCare Complex on Friday after practice and I asked him, among other things, how he feels about this team as it heads into the playoffs. "This is a great, special group of guys that are close together, that want to win for each other, that want to play good for each other," Sirianni said. "That's what makes you feel good. That's what makes you feel good – the talent we have on this team, the guys we have on this team, the work that we got this week. I definitely see that as an advantage. Everyone is fighting for their football lives this week; we get to watch it. We've had a chance to watch what we did all season and we'll fix some of the things we did and all of those different things. It's an advantage and it's an advantage to be able to play at home and so we feel really good. We had a good couple of days of preparation this week and I look forward to next week when we're in preparation for our next opponent."
NFL wild-card playoff game plans: Keys to win, matchups to know - ESPN+
How the Giants can beat the Vikings. Attack the perimeter in the pass game. This is another rematch from a December game, as the Vikings beat the Giants 27-24 in Week 16. In that game, quarterback Daniel Jones targeted the perimeter matchups against the Minnesota corners, completing 11 of 15 passes for 115 yards on throws outside of the numbers. This is where he can challenge Patrick Peterson and Duke Shelley — in man-to-man coverage or Quarters — on both play-action and fade balls. With wideouts Isaiah Hodgins and Darius Slayton, Jones has targets with the vertical juice to create explosive plays. They need to hit on a few of them Sunday.
4 reasons the Giants are a dangerous playoff team - Big Blue View
Brian Daboll ... and his staff. Brian Daboll is a rookie head coach. He has, though, been part of five Super Bowl-winning teams. He was offensive coordinator on a national championship team at Alabama. This time of year isn't new to Daboll, and he won't be overwhelmed by it. Daboll built a tremendous veteran coaching staff filled with assistants whose resumes are stockpiled with NFL success. Week after week that coaching staff has given the Giants an advantage. It is no accident that players like Daniel Jones and Dexter Lawrence are playing better than ever. Week after week the Giants coaching staff has found ways to put players in advantageous positions and get unexpected production from a constantly rotating cast of characters. That isn't going to change.
Cowboys rumors: Sean Payton reportedly does not consider Cowboys head coach job to be open - Blogging The Boys
Jerry Jones appeared on 105.3 The Fan and shot down the idea that McCarthy could be in trouble if the Cowboys disappoint on Monday night down in Florida. That in and of itself is a change in tune from last summer. While you may or may not agree with that, it appears that Sean Payton does. Payton is the top name associated with any head coaching vacancy at the moment and given the connection between him and the Cowboys over the years, many people have assumed that he would be a logical choice for Dallas if things do indeed go south. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Payton does not consider the Cowboys' job to be open or potentially open.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Dallas Cowboys: Final Injury Report - Bucs Nation
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dallas Cowboys have released their final injury reports for Monday night's Wild Card playoff game. The Bucs have not ruled out any player, but have two players listed as doubtful, and nine others listed as questionable. The Cowboys have ruled out cornerback Trayvon Mullen (illness) but have no other players with injury designations. Offensive lineman Nick Leverett (knee/shoulder) and tight end Kyle Rudolph (knee) are both doubtful for Monday night's game. Both players practiced once this week in limited fashion but were not able to practice on Saturday. Leverett's condition is concerning, considering that starting center, Robert Hainsey (hamstring), and backup lineman John Molchon (ankle), are both questionable for the game. The team's saving grace could be the return of center Ryan Jensen, who has not played all season after injuring his knee in training camp. Jensen could be activated from injured reserve on Monday before the game, which is when head coach Todd Bowles said the team will make its decision on who will be manning the guard, and center positions. The only Buccaneer, besides Hainsey, who was limited in practice on Saturday, was defensive tackle Vita Vea (calf.) Vea should be available on Monday barring an unforeseen setback.
Re-building Washington's offensive line for 2023 - Hogs Haven
Washington's offensive line play in 2022 left quite a bit to be desired. The good news is, really depending on Chase Roullier's ability to bounce back, the re-configured line could end up being quite functional in 2023 if Washington's front office invests significant draft and/or salary capital into it this offseason, and if the young guards continue to develop well.

19 Signs You're a Xennial Mom
Lauren McClain · Aug 30, 2017 · Edited by Moderator Jun 25, 2019
Xennials are people born between 1977 and 1983: people who experienced an analog childhood and a digital adulthood. Here's what's unique about the parenting philosophies of those of us who possess both the cynicism of Xers and the optimism of Millennials.
As Xennials, we didn't really need a label. We're not young enough for this preoccupation with labeling everything and everyone. But it is nice to have a term instead of feeling like we didn't belong to anyone. I guess I can stop calling myself a Geriatric Millennial.
I'm just not a Millennial. They're cool and all (too cool for me), but I don't fit the part. I'm geriatric in my thinking, my energy, my dreams, and my philosophies. My layered tank tops give the side-eye to their oversized flannel and post-ironic leggings. I don't get their humor. How is it funny to place a dancing hot dog in a photo?
I'm also definitely not Generation X. They're old. They've always been old - in high school they were in their 30s (practically middle-aged), thinking of themselves as rock and roll rebels with black leather while we made all the mess and had all the fun.
Gen X is too dark and serious, and Millennials are too social, too chipper and too…crazy. (I refer you again to the hot dog.)
What makes Xennials Special? (Not That We'd Ever Admit to Feeling Special)
The summer after we graduated from college, my roommate and I sat down to discuss whether we would pay for Internet in the apartment. We decided against it, arguing we could go to the library or use it at work if needed.
Only two years later, the whole conversation changed as it does with the rapidly growing n changing landscape of technology. A conversation about paying for the Internet would have been like wondering if we should buy toilet paper this month or just use leaves from the atrium. The Internet quickly became such a necessity in our lives that we no longer even consider going without it.
But, since we're not digital natives, the idea of having technology all around us at all times took some getting used to. We didn't come from an age of information overload. We're skeptical of constant social media presence. We don't love and live by apps that collect our personal or children's data. We look at books for answers. We're slower. And we like it that way.
As parents, that means we blend the old and new ways. We ourselves are children of an unconnected era characterized by only one kind of screen time (television), but we are parenting as connected, digital people.
I won't pretend to have the sociological knowledge to illuminate the parenting techniques of Xers or Millennials. Xennials don't parent like either of them, though.
Here's what I extrapolate and glean from personal and cultural experience.
1. We rely on both the traditional and the technological.
We sift through information from all over the place when we make decisions about raising kids. What our parents said and did, what people we know of multiple generations advise, and what everyone and their llama suggests online. We care about it all.
This schizophrenic information-gathering is probably not more overwhelming than it is for someone who merely uses the Internet twice as long for the same predicament, but it is different. The social pressure when you don't follow the advice of your aunt is different than when you ignore people you asked online. Having a living, breathing connection changes that advice.
Anjela, an active-duty Xennial parent in Maryland, said, "When she was still a newborn, I resorted to all the Googling and researching I could get my fingertips on, but in the end, it made me feel so overwhelmed and crazy. So I stepped back and looked inside myself and began relying on my intuition."
We like the technology, but we'd rather not depend on it. It still makes us nervous not to have phone numbers memorized. You still remember your childhood landline number, right?
2. We are skeptical of rules, but we have a few.
Friends and visitors have remarked that there are so few rules at my house. Their kids come over and are free to do crazy kid stuff - to use things in innovate ways, no matter how messy. They can get into scrapes and make mistakes and learn from them. They do (slightly) dangerous and puzzling things. They solve their own problems until snack time.
We don't helicopter, but we do have a handful of non-negotiable rules. The buck stops there in a big way.
Institutions are not our favorite, and we don't want our family to become a well-oiled machine. We're messier than that.
We're certainly not authoritarian, but we're not permissive either. Maybe this is lighthouse parenting. Maybe there is no term (the horror!)
We respect ourselves enough to make and enforce rules. We respect our child's ability to follow them.
3. Do your own work - then you can feel good about yourself.
Helicopter parents we are not. We've never requested a specific teacher for our kid or doubled checked their homework assignment.
If they need more than a few minutes help with their homework, they're lazy or there's something wrong with the teacher. Not that we'd say anything to Ms. Hall, of course.
But self-esteem is earned through hard work and seeing what you're capable of.
You do your homework, you bust your butt, and you find out you can do it! We know they can solve a lot of their own problems and expect them to do so.
If we have to spend too much time overseeing the homework, we get very antsy and annoyed. Isn't homework bad for kids, anyway? (Quick google search.)
4. We want our children to feel special, but not too special.
There's something you're good at. Everyone has at least one thing. It might just be trying. Xennial parents are here to point out how great you are.
But if you muck things up, we will point that out, too.
Self-esteem is built around the things that make you a great person, an individual. Not just because you're alive.
5. Everyone's opinion is important, but adults count double.
At our house we have a weekly family meeting where everyone gets time to say their 'business.' They can say things they are happy about or upset about, things they'd like to do or see change. Everyone gets as much uninterrupted time as they want, so long as they don't become abusive.
We're still the adults and in charge, though, so when we vote on things as a family (what park we'll go to, which dessert we'll buy), adult votes count as two. If we had more than three kids, we'd just change the values. We trust our kids, but we're skeptical.
6. Ain't nobody got time for that.
When we grew up there was no such thing as a "latchkey" kid because we all were one. There was no worry about kids spending a few hours at home by themselves after school. Our neighborhood streets were filled with kids where everyone ran around together and went home when the streetlights came on. We walked to the store and rode bikes in big, concentric circles past the dollar theater. We would walk on our own to the local Dairy Queen for a Nerds or Kit Kat blizzard, walking miles before we went to sleep.
It was nothing like the free-range childhoods our own parents had, but we were on our own a lot. Now that I'm a parent, I want to know what my parents were doing while I was out. What did they do with all that free time? I feel like I'm always "on" when my kids are around and they are always around- I can't imagine having ever afternoon to actually fold AND put away the laundry, prepare dinner, or even sit to read a book all while knowing my kids were outside playing and I didn't have to be hovering over them.
Related: 'Free Range Parenting' is a Privilege Not Everyone Has
The most modern parenting seems to be a lot of taking kids places in the car and never missing an opportunity to connect or teach.
Let them run, we say, and leave us alone.
Rachel, a parent in Minnesota, said, "I often feel trapped between the old and the new. I idealize the 'carefree' times of my childhood, riding my bike the 1-2 miles to the store for treats, walking with my sisters and brother to the county beach, sans parents. Learning to do things for myself while my parents were working. So much great stuff out there now, but I wish I could give my son what I had."
7. We're patient…or just slow.
I love my clothesline. It forces me to slow down and go into lower brainwave states. I don't have to do it, so the slow, methodical placing of the laundry tells my brain: "There's no hurry. You're alright. Things are going just fine."
You remember the old Internet? I thought it was a fad. There was nothing on it. And if you thought there might be something, or you wanted to chat on AOL messenger, you sat back and waited patiently for the delightful sounds of beeping and static connection. Then you waited for the program to load.
So we know about waiting. And if our kids need a snack or help to find their bedraggled stuffed jellyfish, they can wait a minute, too. It builds character-something we learned from people, not pixels.
8. We don't want to belong to a group, we want the group to belong to us.
I return to institutions and the distrust thereof. Government, hospitals, churches, big businesses, even the library can bite you in the butt. We feel the need to belong there, but we want to belong on our own terms, which is often messy or disappointing.
We seek out friendships online but then again we are not entirely satisfied by the connections we maintain there. We are skeptical of groups because of the rules and expectations they have for us, and we have seen first hand how some online groups can be harmful and, well, mean girl-ish. We want our children to feel the physical presence of the tribe- the support and the way it weaves itself in and out of our lives. But at the same time, we understand the connection that can be established online, especially in a new world where the "village" no longer exists.
9. You can be whatever you want, so long as it's useful.
We want our kids to follow their dreams, but we also want them to be successful…or maybe just moderately useful. We don't plan out their academic path and push them in the direction of what we want or think is best, but we do think it should pay the bills.
We know you can make something big out of nothing. We're right in there, part of the start-up generations. But that nothing you're going to create with has to have some substance- Skills or something. At least a good work ethic.
So we do schedule play dates, make them try things, take classes, go to Girl Scouts, and generally widen their experience. We believe in the power of their dreams, but we're skeptical.
10. "Go play outside!"
We may not lock them out like generations before us, but there's a kind of invisible fence there.
We played outside quite a bit and living in a neighborhood meant running up and down the street with the other kids who lived there.
Our children, we argue, need plenty of time outdoors, making a childhood the way we made one. The scrapes they will get themselves into only add to the character-building aspect of the thing. We turn off the televisions and iPads and force them to spend some time outdoors. Their summers are filled with water balloons, time at the pool, playing in sprinklers with friends, or just riding their bikes around the neighborhood. But we also recognize a good movie day when we meet it.
11. We don't turn our kids into puppies.
Instagram or Snap Chats or whatever it is that has those filters that turn you into a puppy or a lizard or make your voice like a unicorn- those are stupid. They are cute, even a marvel of technological engineering, but they look ridiculous.
Also, all this technology from an early age just isn't natural. Babies and little kids can't make sense of that. What is it doing to their brains?
I once saw a Millennial mom at swim lessons entertaining her toddler with those filters. The little girl was terrified by her distorted image, but the mom just laughed.
I'm sure this person is a perfectly fit and lovely mother, and in this brave new world it's arguably dangerous to be scared of a screen.
But it's not for me and my house-we will serve the bored.
12. We're not scared of boredom.
We refuse to get a DVD player in our van because-A. It will probably break and B. It's healthy to be bored.
Don't you recall those long road trips and the sort of brain hum that developed after you'd exhausted all that your car ride bag had to offer? Klutz Press kept a good number of us going across multiple flyover states. But eventually, we were forced to sit with our own thoughts.
When my kids say they're bored, I say "Good! That means soon you'll think of a great idea, or you'll realize something important!"
13. We're wary of screen time.
We believe all the research about the dangers of screen time for kids. We still use the blessed things, of course, but we do so sparingly.
We don't have to fill our children's lives with enrichment and entertainment and opportunity. We want them to make their own.
14. We don't share every artistic triumph or Walmart tantrum on social media.
Social media is cool, I guess. But it got going after we stopped being social. So we don't have as much use for it. Sure, we share the important things like school pictures or our child's baseball games but we don't have 15 dots at the top of our Instagram Stories telling people what we ate for breakfast and how "we NEED that second cup of coffee from our Starbucks "Been There" mugs." Plus, why would you want people to know all that stuff? Better to be thought a fool than open your mouth (or shutter) and remove all doubt.
Social media for us isn't about sharing our lives with our over 1,000 friends that we probably don't even really know. It's for grandma and grandpa who live halfway across the country. It's for ourselves, so that in 3 years Facebook can remind us of how much our children have grown and how awake we used to look. We don't care about the number of likes or comments or views. Social media is simply a platform for us to share with those we truly have a connection with like family and close friends.
15. We look at Millennial dads with envy.
Our own dads didn't do much. Fixed the screen door and made dinner occasionally. They were there for us, mostly on the couch with the game on, but there.
Related: 'Don't Forget Dads' Redefining Gender Roles and Fatherhood
Our moms worked, but they still did everything around the house. We vowed not to fall into the same trap.
But our partner's dad's were the same as our dads, and they don't really know how to be more and we don't know how to let them.
Millennial dads are opening up the whole fatherhood world. They do much closer to half (or more!) of the housework, and are highly involved in the parenting. We wish our kids' dads would take a cue from them, but we get that society changes slowly.
And we know that we're on that edge of change-between the analog couch dads and the digital babywearing ones.
16. We don't adopt new stuff until it's not new.
The latest and greatest holds no pull for us. All that science fiction we had to read in high school made its mark.
Remember, our analog childhood is the norm and to be trusted. All this digital and AI and Web 2.0 is suspect. Awesome, but suspect.
So many of us don't buy new parenting gadgets or use apps, games or ideas until they're on the old side.
We remember the plethora of AOL CDs that promised free time online or whatever. Those things were everywhere - and completely worthless.
17. We believe most people are good.
Xennials all came of age in a relatively peaceful time. It was before Columbine and 9-11.
We trust the world to work itself out. We're not terrified for the world we're leaving our children. They have some work to do, and we're sorry about that, but we know that they're good-hearted and capable of doing it.
18. Be nice. No excuses.
I have a Minnesotan husband. The utmost horror to a Minnesotan is the possibility of inconveniencing someone or - gasp - having a confrontation. Xennial parenting runs along a similar vein. We're sometimes nice before being honest or sticking up for ourselves or our children.
We try to edge our way around the problem until it creates its' own problem.
Consider Public Breastfeeding. This should not be an issue. Still, it took a while for us to get on board. If people don't like it, we thought, they will give us their bad energy and maybe talk angrily to us. Ugh. And, well, if it makes them uncomfortable, we should be nice about it.
But this is how we change the world, people! It's for the good of all. We know that and we don't even use covers now. Inconveniencing people was hard to get past. And we think that's okay.
We admit the attachment to being 'respectful' or nice can be a stumbling block.
We still want to change the world, but we want to do it nicely. And we expect our children to as well.
19.Attachment parenting makes sense, but we're tired.
Many of us practice attachment parenting because it fit our sensibilities. It seems like a nice idea. You let your children neeeeeed you for 8 or 10 years and then they are magically wonderful, responsible, and loving. Largely it has worked. It was also exhausting.
Some of it we let go of along the way in favor of more mainstream techniques or philosophies. Star charts and other horrors. We're okay with that. We think. We're not sure what mainstream parenting is anymore. We tried the things. But we're tired now. We're getting old. The older we get, the grayer we see in the world.
20. We are stuck in the middle of free-range parenting and being terrified of the world.
The age of technology has brought many great things into our lives but it has also brought something else- fear of the world around us. We grew up living much of our childhood without our parents watching our every single move. Our parents didn't have to worry about a neighbor calling the cops because we were out unsupervised or watching our younger siblings as we played. But now we do. We have become so aware of all the horrors of the world that we fear letting our kids out of our sight. Society has started to parent for us when they deem us unfit, scaring us even more into constantly being present. For Xennials like us, this is a difficult thing to balance. We want to offer our children the opportunity to learn to be independent and problem solve like we did as children, but the digital age has terrified us into becoming helicopter parents.
As we approach middle age, we feel the swirl and cacophony of old and new that we're caught in between. There's awesome stuff on both sides, but we are analog at heart. We just do what works for us. If someone doesn't like it, they can leave a nasty comment.
We never read the comments.

Baghadad (IraqiNews.com) Iraq is under pressure from the United States and Iran involving conflicting calls regarding the retention of Shia-led forces that played a major role in the fight against Islamic State militants.
Iraqi Alghad Press said the United States is demanding Iraqi premier Adel Abdul Mahdi to disband the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), aka al-Hashd al-Shaabi, while Iran is warning against attempts to weaken the force.
It said that while Iranian Foreign Minister,, Javad Zarif, who was on a visit to Baghdad on Monday, carried an unpublicized message to the government "warning against attempts to weaken the PMF", Abdul-Mahdi, according to Saudi-owned al-Arabiya, asked the U.S. side "to give him sometime" to respond to its renewed call to freeze and disarm the force.
Alghad Press pointed to what it described as "a regional lobby, backed by Iraqi figures working on weakening the force as a premise to its dissolution".
The PMF, composed of some 60 forces, mostly Shia, was formed as per a call from the Iraqi top Shia clergy to fight Islamic State Sunni extremists. Many of the troops working under the PMF pledge strong allegiance to Iran and are believed to have enjoyed generous finances and training from the Islamic republic. The force won official Iraqi government recognition as a national force late 2016. Several of its current and former leaders are now members of the Iraqi parliament elected in May.
And a direct supply Land-Line from IRAN to SYRIA & LEBANON..
That was part of plan, Deep State works for the NWO not the American people. Trump is dismantling the cabal in America, and pulling out their wars. If Arabs want to kill each other for Iran and the Europeans, we will sell you all the weapons you need.
Gen. Qassem Soleimani and the Ayatollahs are part of the NWO, the plan was to bleed Syria, and Iraq, making Iran the dominant Middle East power, and European elites wealthy. Trump election and Putin intervention disrupted plans for WW3.

The Campaign Finance Case Against Donald Trump is a Strong One: Just Ask John Edwards' Prosecutors
This week Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to eight crimes, six counts of tax evasion and bank fraud and two violations of campaign finance laws: (1) making an illegally large $130,000 campaign contribution and (2) causing an illegal $150,000 corporate campaign contribution. In the process of pleading guilty, Cohen directly implicated President Donald Trump in violations of campaign finance laws—violations of the sort that led to an unsuccessful criminal prosecution of 2008 Presidential candidate John Edwards. The case against Trump is much stronger than was the case against Edwards. Indeed, the case against Trump would turn the weaknesses in Edwards' case into strengths.
But first a little more about Cohen and the implications for Trump.
The Important Facts and How the Law Works
One of Cohen's campaign finance violations relates to his use of his own money to make a $130,000 "hush" payment to adult film actress Stephanie Clifford (a.k.a. Stormy Daniels) in October 2016. Cohen's other campaign finance violation relates to his collaboration with tabloid publishing corporation American Media Inc. (AMI) in its $150,000 "catch and kill" payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal in August 2016. Both women claim to have had affairs with Trump a decade before receiving payments from Cohen and AMI.
Cohen's guilty plea didn't surprise me. I spotted these violations early this year and, on behalf of the nonpartisan group Common Cause, we filed complaints with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Election Commission (FEC) in January regarding the Clifford payment, in February regarding the McDougal payment, and another one in March regarding the Clifford payment. These complaints included allegations that Cohen made an illegal $130,000 contribution and AMI made an illegal $150,000 contribution to the Trump campaign. Common Cause also alleged violations by Trump, the Trump campaign and the Trump Organization—allegations that seem even more well-founded after the Cohen guilty plea.
What did surprise me, however, were the statements Cohen made during his court appearance to enter his plea agreement. Cohen told the presiding judge under oath that the payments to Clifford and McDougal were made "in coordination with and at the direction of a candidate for federal office," a clear reference to then-candidate Trump. Cohen stated further: "I participated in this conduct … for the principal purpose of influencing the election" for president in 2016. These sworn statements by Cohen directly implicate the president in at least four violations of federal campaign finance law, which are criminally enforced, and potentially other federal offences.
There's added reason to trust what Cohen said in the courthouse compared to what he may have previously told the press. He made these claims under penalty of perjury. He also made the statements pending sentencing. Lying to or even just misleading the judge in that situation could have dire consequences for the amount of time he spends in prison. Lastly, if prosecutors had reason to think Cohen's statement was false, they were under an obligation to inform the judge immediately. They didn't.
A violation of campaign finance law is only a crime punishable by imprisonment, as opposed to a civil offense punishable only by fine, if an individual's violation of the restrictions was knowing and willful. As explained in the Department of Justice manual, Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses, federal campaign finance law violations "become potential crimes when they are committed knowingly and willfully, that is, by an offender who knew what the law forbade and violated it notwithstanding that knowledge." That's an important qualification to keep in mind. It means that knowledge of the law is, in some sense, an excuse or get-out-of-jail free card in this arena. And it is prosecutors who would have the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that a defendant acted with this state of mind.
The Prosecution of John Edwards Versus the Case Against Trump
Cohen's statements in court this week, if true, establish that Trump was personally involved in multiple violations of federal law and also severely undermine the viability of what I'll call the "Edwards defense," which Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has already publicly asserted on Trump's behalf.
Federal prosecutors charged 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate John Edwards for allegedly orchestrating nearly $1 million in payments by two wealthy Edwards supporters to hide his pregnant mistress, Rielle Hunter, from public view in the latter half of 2007. The Department of Justice argued that the payments to his mistress Hunter constituted illegally large and unreported in-kind contributions to the Edwards campaign. Sound familiar? Edwards argued that the purpose of the payments was to hide his affair from his wife who was battling cancer at the time, not to hide his affair from voters. In other words, Edwards claimed the reason for the payments was personal and not political.
Some commentators claim Edwards was vindicated, and that his case shows that his alleged activities would not amount to a crime. That's wrong. The jury was unable to reach a unanimous conclusion on five of six counts Edwards faced, and acquitted him on a count related to a payment made after he had dropped out of the presidential race. The law is still a strong one that regulates all federal elections. The failure of Edwards' prosecution boils down to weaknesses in some of the claims the government made and evidence against him.
Indeed, Common Cause has alleged very similar violations of law by Trump in our DOJ and FEC complaints. Specifically, we allege that Trump violated federal law by receiving illegal contributions from Cohen and AMI in the form of payments made to McDougal and Daniels, and by failing to report these contributions to the FEC.
These campaign finance laws apply only to payments made "for the purpose of influencing an election," a phrase that's critical to the statutory definitions of "contribution" and "expenditure." Several factual distinctions make the case against Trump stronger than was the case against Edwards, specifically with respect to any asserted "personal not political" defense.
1. Fear of Media Exposure
First, in the Edwards prosecution, DOJ presented no evidence that Hunter was planning or threatening to speak to the press about her affair with Edwards. Edwards' lawyers made a big deal out of this at trial, arguing that the payments were intended to keep news of Edwards' affair from his very-ill wife, not from the voting public. By contrast, regarding the payments at issue in the Trump/Cohen matter, both McDougal and Clifford were in negotiation with national media outlets to sell the rights to their stories of affairs with Trump. McDougal and Clifford understood that the rapidly-approaching presidential general election gave them leverage over Trump. These facts are highly relevant to the motive and purpose of the payments.
2. Timing of Payments and the Election
Second, all but one of the payments made to Hunter on behalf of Edwards were made before a single primary ballot had been cast, in the calendar year preceding the election year. The one exception was a late January 2008 payment after Edwards had dropped out of the presidential race—the count on which he was acquitted. By contrast, the two payments related to Cohen's guilty plea came in August (McDougal) and October (Clifford) of the election year, immediately before Americans voted in the general election. This timing is relevant to the likely purpose of the payments. (It may be useful to recall that Trump's own lawyer Giuliani admitted this was the purpose of the Daniels payments in discussing its timing.)
3. Timing of the Payments and the Affairs
Third, the payments to Hunter on behalf of Edwards were made contemporaneously to the affair and the pregnancy—timing that arguably makes sense if the true purpose was to keep knowledge of the affair from Edwards' wife. By contrast, the payments to both McDougal and Clifford were made a decade after the alleged affairs—timing that doesn't make much sense if the purpose was to keep knowledge of the affairs from Mrs. Trump, but makes a lot of sense (combined with the proximity to the election) if the purpose was to keep the information from voters in order to influence the election.
4. Witnesses
Finally, whereas the sources of allegedly illegal payments in the Edwards prosecution were unavailable to testify at trial regarding the purposes of their payments (Fred Baron died in 2008 and Rachel "Bunny" Mellon was 101 years old and unable to travel and testify), Michael Cohen, the source of one of the Trump-related payments, stated in court this week that his payment was "for the principal purpose of influencing the election." Cohen's plea documents indicate a host of other people were involved in the scheme. According to the Wall Street Journal, one of those individuals, the President of AMI has already "provided prosecutors with details about payments … including Mr. Trump's knowledge of the deals."
To be clear, I don't mean to imply that a criminal prosecution of President Trump for campaign finance violations would be an easy case—or that it could be done at all. Some of the sharpest legal minds in the nation disagree over whether a sitting President can be prosecuted for any crimes while he remains in office. And even if prosecution were possible, conviction would require proof that Trump knew his actions were forbidden by law and violated the law notwithstanding that knowledge.
Instead, I detail these factual distinctions between the Edwards and Trump matters to push back on the assumption that because Edwards wasn't convicted, Trump's actions didn't violate the law or that federal prosecutors would not have a formidable case against him. Trump may not be held accountable for his actions in a court of law, but that doesn't mean he didn't break laws getting elected in 2016. That's a matter for the court of public opinion. And the case against Trump is strong.

Nepal's Sandeep Lamichhane came up with another excellent performance for St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the Caribbean Premier League on Thursday.
In Kingston, Sandeep returned figures of 2-21 but his side still fell 47 runs short to Jamaica Tallawahs. It was second defeat for the Patriots in the tournament in their third match.
Sandeep came in to bowl the fifthth over and gave 10 runs but came back strong in the seventh over picking up the wickets of Kennar Lewis in the second ball and Andre McCarthy in the fourth. He was quite impressive in the next two overs conceding just four runs in 12 deliveries.
Electing to field first, Patriots allowed Tallawahs to reach 178-4 in 20 overs. Ross Taylor top scored for the team with not out 51 off just 35 balls, while Lewis(49) and Glenn Philips(41) were next best contributors. Carlos Brathwaite and Ben Cutting took one wicket each from their respective four overs for Patriots.
Chasing 179-run target, Patriots were restricted to 131-9 in 20 overs. Chris Gayle (24 off 25) and Mahmudullah (22 off 15) were the topscores for the team. Krishmar Santokie, Adam Zampa and Imad Wasim took two wickets each from their respective four-over spells while Oshane Thomas, Steven Jacobs and Andre Russell had one scalp apiece.
Patriots will now compete against St. Lucia Stars on Tuesday.


If you've been reading CakeSpy over the years, you MUST know that in 2009, I opened a retail store in Seattle. Called CakeSpy Shop, it was a center for selling my artwork (as featured on this site) and other awesome artists whose work I love.
It certainly was a labor of love, but as time went on, the work that went into having a brick and mortar store, in my opinion, began to take away from my *real* passion--writing about, and drawing pictures of, sweets! I'm talking about the administrative stuff, not the awesome customers, of course!
The rent on the store was pretty pricey, too. After maintenance, etc, it was about $2400 a month. Considering the cost of producing items and the fact that I had to pay other artists for their work, that means the store had to make a whole lot more than that per month. I am happy to say it always did -- the store never *lost* money for me. But considering the amount of hours I put in, I never really made much. So it sure is nice to lessen the pressure of paying that much every month!
Plus, after I came out with my cookbook, the gallery aspect got very confusing with branding. People would come in expecting a bakery, and as many wonderful things as the store was, it was not that!
So, last month we closed the doors on the store. It was a bittersweet moment. Sad, because I will miss all of my wonderful regulars--but also really wonderful, because I feel that it was such a brave and big thing to do, and I think that the experience of running a retail store is sort of like what they say about living in NYC--if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere. Likewise, if you can operate a retail store--you can do ANYTHING.
So while I am going to continue to make the world a more awesome place, from now on it will be without a retail storefront. You can certainly still shop online, though!
And, to say thank you to everyone who was part of the dream that was CakeSpy Shop, here's just a small collection of some of the sweet moments that stand out in my memory!
The opening party. It was epic! There were cupcakes with my art on them, provided by Trophy Cupcakes!
Painting a mural on the wall.
Having a sandwich board and the freedom to come up with clever things to bring in customers.
Buying a Neon sign for the store!
Having my photo taken for the cover of Seattle Woman Magazine.
Having the store featured on TV!
Hosting amazing, standing-room only events such as Cake Versus Pie.
Hosting bake sales to raise money for good causes! I had several over the years, and was able to raise thousands of dollars for good causes. Go me!
My customers. Porkchop in particular had a special bond with Emmett.
Getting to see, firsthand, the power of my art.
Doing a side by side brownie tasting.
Kristin of Meringue Bake Shop came to visit!
Having the opportunity to showcase such amazing artwork as that by Ryan Berkley!
Joy the Baker came to visit!
Sweet moments such as this, with Alicia Kachmar.
A fantastic book signing with Melisser Elliott!
Betsy of Java Cupcake came to visit!
Jenn of JustJenn came to visit!
Visitors did things like draw cartoons of the experience.
I know I've mentioned some specific people, but in general, the fact that so many people made it a point to come visit the store was beyond meaningful to me.
My book launch party for CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life! Possibly one of the proudest moments of my life, there was a line out the door, rainbow cake, and my family from NJ was present. I drew a unicorn in every copy purchased. It was such a wonderful day.
Thank you so much for making my store so wonderful! Continue to shop online, here.

Marlow b&b, guesthouse and hotel accommodation
Marlow in Buckinghamshire
Visit Marlow and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Marlow, Buckinghamshire. This fascinating little town, which has much to interest the traveller in its mixture of the old and the new, is planned in such a way that none of the new buildings in any way detract from the charm of the older ones.
In the High Street are many old houses, but its most famous feature is the suspension bridge, built in 1831 to the design of William Tierney Clark who constructed several similar bridges, including one linking Buda and Pest in Hungary. The one in Marlow, however, is the only remaining example of his work. From its centre are panoramic views of the river where swans are often to be seen and pretty gardens and handsome beech trees reach down to the water's edge. It is the dividing line of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire and on the opposite side, adjacent to the bridge, is the 'Compleat Angler' Inn with its reminders of Izaak Walton's book. Adjoining the bridge, in the town itself, is All Saints Church, which contains a monument to Sir Miles Hobart, set up by Parliament to commemorate the parliamentary rebel, who in 1628 locked the door of the House of Commons until certain taxation resolutions were passed.
A short distance from the church is the obelisk milestone in the Market Place, erected in 1822, an indication that in the early 19th century the town was an important stopping-place for travellers. It is closely connected with the Cecil family of Hatfield House, Hertfordshire, who were great sufferers from gout and used Marlow as a short cut to take the waters at Bath.
The Crown Hotel, originally called Remnantz, was reputedly a place where the famous highwayman Dick Turpin took hospitality and, probably, purses.
In West Street is Albion House which was once the home of Shelley, where he lived in 1817 with Mary Godwin whom he married. The 17th-century grammar school, which Shelley frequently visited, is nearby. West Street is familiarly known as Poets Row.
The Parsonage, in St Peter's Street, is believed to be the oldest house in the town, dating from the 14th century.

REVIEW: "Snowpiercer"
July 16, 2014 by Keith
Every revolution has a cost and the cost is high in Bong Joon-ho's sci-fi action flick "Snowpiercer". This is the Korean filmmaker's first feature since "Mother" from 2009. "Mother" was my first exposure to Bong Joon-ho and my christening of sorts into the art of Korean cinema. "Snowpiercer" is a much different film yet it doesn't stray too far away from the style and approach which lies at the heart of this auteur.
Despite the efforts of blowhard extraordinaire Harvey Weinstein, "Snowpiercer" has finally made its way to the United States. Weinstein acquired the North American rights for the film with a wide release planned. But the pompous film mogul demanded that 20 minutes of footage be cut and when Joon-ho rightly refused, Weinstein sabotaged the movie by delaying it for almost a year and severely restricting its release. But word of mouth and positive reviews eventually earned it a broader release although nothing like what was originally planned.
The story is taken from a 1982 French graphic novel and as with any good science fiction, the premise is everything. To stonewall the effects of global warming mankind injects the atmosphere with an experimental agent that instead brings on a second ice age. Humanity's last inhabitants live within the Snowpiercer, an enormous train in constant motion powered by the "eternal engine". Onboard the train a social order has been created. The affluent upperclass live in the lavish head section while the poor and needy inhabit the tail. Now at first the movie appeared to be a climate change and class warfare lecture, but once we begin to meet the blend of interesting and eccentric characters, we realize there is more under the hood.
After several failed attempts the tail section puts together another revolt against the privileged and the armed soldiers who defend them. Curtis (Chris Evans) is quickly established as the strongest link and the man many look to for leadership. His mentor Gilliam (John Hurt) is grooming him to be the leader once they are able to take over the train. Curtis is a complex character. He often shows heart particularly in his dealings with his fellow tail-sectioners. Evans continues to grow as an actor. He's mostly been known for playing goofballs or superheroes but I love seeing him open himself up as an actor. He once again flexes his action star muscle, but it's nice to see him digging deeper into a character and doing it well.
Evans is helped out by an incredible supporting cast. Jamie Bell is good as a character who starts out as a standard sidekick but evolves into something more. Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer plays a mother determined to get her son back after he is taken by the upperclass authority. A Joon-ho favorite Song Kang-ho plays the drug addicted designer of the train's many doors separating the cars. The fabulously quirky Alison Pill is great as a character simply titled Teacher, and the always exceptional Ed Harris pops up in a significant role. But the true scene stealer has to be Tilda Swinton. She plays Minister Mason, an overseer of sorts who is really a glorified lacky. Swinton has a ball playing such a wacky and neurotic character. Everything from her appearance to her ways of expressing herself works to inject a bit of humor while never derailing the movie's more prominent tone.
All of these characters work to energize Joon-ho's engaging story. To be honest it's hard to deny the absurdity of it all, and a surface reading would make this sound like a pretty standard action romp. But when the story is this well told and it moves at such a fluid and dynamic pace, it's so easy to get completely caught up in it. I had a blast with its central conceit and the stylized storytelling. The careful mix of action and character development is well done and the setting is superb. It ranges from beautiful and colorful to dark and dirty while always maintaining a sense of claustrophobia. And as with almost every other sci-fi film, we get plenty of commentary here. Joon-ho paints a parallel portrait of the modern societal standard which is sometimes effective and other times ham-fisted. His climate change theme was the most compelling showing an awareness while also showing the dangers of overreacting. His class warfare approach is a little more uneven. But other themes such as drug abuse, political power, and revolutions are laced throughout the story in intriguing ways.
"Snowpiercer" also looks amazing from its wide assortment of environments within the train to its ice-ravaged world outside. The variety of action we get is also a treat. It may be intense close quarters shootouts or hand-to-hand combat in precarious situations. Some of it dances close to the edge of brutality, but so often Joon-ho pulls back his camera just as the violence is happening sparing the audience from the gore while keeping the sheer intensity of the scene. It's a mark of the creative Korean style and it gives the movie a particular look that I absolutely loved. It's a visual delight.
Thanks to Weinstein "Snowpiercer" hasn't gotten the release it deserves but word of mouth is spreading. Let me happily add to its positive press. This is a fantastic science fiction picture that sounds similar to many other films yet feels completely unique and fresh. It's a film with many strengths and as a lover of good sci-fi, I had an absolute blast with it!

REVIEW: "Midnight in Paris"
June 12, 2013 by Keith
Without a doubt the romantic comedy is one of the weaker movie genres and has been for years. But sometimes we get a special gem that reminds us of just how fun these types of movies can be. "Midnight in Paris", written and directed by Woody Allen, is a crash course in the art of making a romantic comedy. It is loaded with heart and feeling and doesn't trudge down the same path as so many failed films of this genre. It's a movie that captures the magic of it's location and the inner workings of it's characters. It's clever and unique while maintaining a true romantic feel and sense of humor.
"Midnight in Paris" opens with a picturesque three-minute montage focusing on the beauty of Paris, France. It gracefully moves from one exquisitely framed shot to another, showing us historical landmarks, museums, cafes, and more all set to the lovely "Si Tu Vois Ma Mere". It elegantly sets up the city of Paris as not only a central character in the film, but an enchanting and magical force whose influence is seen throughout the picture. In many ways Woody Allen is celebrating Paris. He wants us to love the city and appreciate the mystique of it's rich history just as much as his main character does. Allen's desire works. I was instantly grabbed and found myself totally lost in what I was seeing on the screen.
While Paris is at the heart of the story, the main character is Gil Pender (Owen Wilson), a hack Hollywood screenwriter who is visiting the city with his fiancée and her parents. Gil loves everything about Paris and to this day regrets his decision not to move there when he had a chance several years ago. He feels he was meant for more than writing screenplays but he struggles with confidence. He doesn't feel comfortable in today's world and believes he would be a better fit in the 1920s. His fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) is a spoiled momma's girl who spends more time insulting Gil than supporting him. There is clearly a disconnect between the two. He loves Paris and she doesn't. He's working on a novel that he thinks will change his career and she thinks he's wasting his time. He enjoys the small details in life while she would rather milk it for it's benefits.
While in Paris they run into Paul (Michael Sheen), Inez's old friend and self-proclaimed expert on everything from art to French culture to fine wines. Inez seems infatuated with Paul's knowledge regardless of how many facts he gets wrong in his efforts to impress everyone. Needing to get away, Gil takes off on a late night walk. After getting lost, he is picked up by a group of partiers in an old classic car who magically transport him back to 1920s Paris. Here he meets many of his literary and artistic heroes such as Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Picasso, and Stein. He also meets the lovely Adriana (played wonderfully by Marion Cotillard) who he grows more attracted to with each midnight visit.
The fantasy turn of Allen's story did feel a bit out of the blue at first but it didn't take long before I was enthralled with what I was seeing. Gil's golden age is recreated flawlessly from the music and atmosphere to the careful attention to detail. I loved seeing these authors, painters, composers, and filmmakers of old fleshed out through some fantastic performances. Tom Hiddleston and Alison Pill are absolutely brilliant as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald. I also loved Marcial Di Fonzo Bo as Picasso and Adrien Brody as Dali, both in smaller but fun roles. And then there's Corey Stoll as Hemingway who steals many of the scenes he's in. The supporting cast is such a wonderful ingredient to the film's charm.
But in terms of acting it's Owen Wilson that really blew me away. In many ways he plays a character that really fits him. We've seen elements of this performance in other roles of his but here everything is perfectly measured and controlled. Even though Woody Allen has stated he gave Wilson a lot of room to work, it's clear that Allen has a solid influence on his performance. I've been really lukewarm concerning most of Wilson's past work but he really, really impressed me here. He dials it back a bit and never allows his performance to drown out the material.
"Midnight in Paris" does call for the audience to just buy into it's fantasy angle and if you struggle with that you may struggle with this picture. It also turns out to be fairly predictable in places. But these small gripes do nothing to kill the magic of this picture for me. This is certainly a love letter to Paris, but it's also a lesson on living in the present. Allen reminds us that the golden age so many long for isn't that different from where we are now. It's a beautiful film both visually and structurally and it moves along at an almost poetic pace. Better yet, "Midnight in Paris" is a film that gives us hope for a struggling genre. I love this movie.

Five Great Scenes From "Midnight in Paris"
Ok, I've never been what you would call a Woody Allen fan. That being said, I can't express how much I enjoy "Midnight in Paris. It's a movie that features some great laughs and the best performance from a usually annoying Owen Wilson. It's a romance film but not in the traditional sense. The true love of the movie is the city and it's magic. It's the city that brings Gil Pender (Wilson) to realize some very important things about himself and his life. It's the city that Gil's in love with and it's the city that helps him get on the right path in life.
Now I know that one reason I responded so strongly to this movie was because of my current trip to Paris. As I sit here soaking up all this glorious place has to offer, I understand what Allen in conveying in his film. Paris is a city like no other. It's living and breathing. It's a place filled with history, style, and beauty, all things that "Midnight in Paris" presents. So my opinion of the movie is most certainly influenced by my expectations of what I'm now experiencing here in Paris, France.
But let's not get bogged down in just that. "Midnight in Paris" is also laugh out loud hilarious. The characters are fantastic and for my money it features some of Woody Allen's best writing. Filmed at various locations here in Paris (some we have already visited), Allen places his characters right in the middle of this city both past and present day. The performances are top-notch and the feeling of nostalgia is impossible to deny. It's a beautiful film that I just love talking about.
So, before we head off to a local cafe and take a stroll in the Latin Quarter, I thought I would share five great scenes from this movie I love. Now, last Sunday I did a Phenomenal 5 on Paris movie scenes and #2 was the gorgeous opening montage of "Midnight in Paris". Since I've already used it I'll leave it out here. But it is an amazing opening sequence that I have watched over and over. These scenes I have picked are just samples of what makes this movie so good. Great laughs, great characters, great performances, great city!
#1 – GIL MEETS THE FITZGERALDS
One of my favorite scenes in "Midnight in Paris" is where Gil meets Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald (played brilliantly by Alison Pill and Tom Hiddleston). After getting lost in the streets of Paris, Gil is picked up by an antique car which whisks him away to 1920's Paris. He arrives at a bar where a party is going on and bumps into the Fitzgeralds. Gil's confusion mixed with amazing portrayals from Hiddleston and Pill make this a hysterical scene. And even though it's completely preposterous, the environment, the music, and the performances make this strikingly believable. Hiddleston alone makes this scene with his chipper expressions and hilarious line deliveries. I love it.
#2 – DEBATE AT THE RODIN MUSEUM
We all know people like Paul (Michael Sheen) from "Midnight in Paris". He's one of those who thinks he's a lot smarter than he actually is. He's an old friend of Gil's fiancée Inez (Rachel McAdams) and she is enamored by his immense knowledge of Paris and it's history even though most of his "knowledge" is flat-out wrong. A great example of this is the scene in the gardens at the Rodin Museum. Paul, flexing his pseudo-intellectual muscle, actually argues with the museum tour guide regarding Rodin's past relationships. Paul is clearly wrong, but you know guys like this, they'll never be convinced of it. Sheen's delivery is hilarious and Rodin himself couldn't have convinced this know-it-all otherwise. *(Yes, I know this photo isn't from the Rodin Museum scene but it perfectly captures the Paul character).
#3 – A CHAT WITH HEMINGWAY
Corey Stoll's portrayal of Earnest Hemingway was absolutely phenomenal. We're introduced to him after Gil leaves the above mentioned party with the Fitzgeralds in search of more lively entertainment. They enter a bar where Hemingway is sitting alone in the corner. We just stand there alongside Gil and watch as a hilarious conversation takes place between Hemingway and the Fitzgeralds. It's clear that Zelda doesn't like Earnest and she takes off. F. Scott soon follows leaving Gil to share a conversation about life and writing with one of his literary idols. Stoll speaks like Hemingway wrote which adds an ever funnier element to their conversation. This is a key moment in the film that begins Gil's new perspective on life. It's also extremely funny.
#4 – A NIGHT WALK WITH ADRIANA
After several trips back in time, Gil finds himself mesmerized by the beautiful Adriana (Marion Cotillard). He finally gets some meaningful time alone with her as they share a romantic walk on a beautiful Paris night. The cool 1920's feel mixed with the beauty of the city of lights is the perfect setting for the movie's most romantic scene. Woody Allen also uses Gil to once again speak of the allure of the city. It makes you question who he's attracted to more, Adriana or the city? This is such a wonderful scene that moves which such grace, all as the equally beautiful "Parlez-moi d'amour" plays in the background. Call me a sap but this is a great scene.
#5 – PARIS IN THE RAIN
The movie ends with Gil walking alone in the Paris night. He's broken it off with Inez and has realized his desire for the past was misguided and that every era has their own problems. Unsure of everything, he bumps into Gabrielle (Lea Seydoux) again on the beautiful Pont Alexandre III bridge. The two strike up a conversation and Gil tells her that he will be staying in Paris. There is an obvious attraction between them which is only solidified when a small rain shower pops up. The two walk off together enjoying the rain and the city. While Gil thought he once again had no direction in his life, Paris takes him by the hand and sets his course. What a great way to end the movie.
Well, that's all for now. I have fountains, paintings, a buttered baguette, and a cozy cafe in my immediate future. What did you think of "Midnight in Paris". Hopefully you liked it as much as I did. Please fell free to share your thoughts on it. And until I hit the states again…au revior.

NFU Cymru Red Meat Summit: Brexit No Deal threat leaves Welsh livestock sector in perilous position
At the inaugural NFU Cymru Red Meat Summit on Tuesday 5th February, the Union's Livestock Board Chairman, Wyn Evans, warned farmers that the continued threat of the UK crashing out of the EU without a deal leaves the sector in a 'perilous position' ahead of Brexit.
Addressing attendees at the 'Welsh Red Meat Sector in a Global Marketplace' event at the Royal Welsh Showground, Mr Evans stressed that farmers are being 'left in the dark' over the nature of the UK's future trading relationship with the European Union.
The NFU Cymru Red Meat Summit saw experts from the red meat supply chain, Welsh farming industry and the processing, marketing, retail and food service sectors analysing the opportunities that exist to promote Welsh produce to the wider world, as well as the potential challenges posed by Brexit.
Mr Evans said: "In Wales we have a fantastic red meat industry with some of the most committed, dedicated and professional farmers in the world producing safe, quality affordable food for the consumer at home and abroad. But we cannot ignore the perilous position the ongoing political uncertainty leaves us in just a few short weeks away from our scheduled departure from the EU.
"In these next few weeks my family, like many thousands of others across Wales, will be preparing for and entering the busiest time in our farming calendar, with the arrival of lambs whose eventual sale would usually make up a sizeable part of our farm income. But as we spend our days and nights in the lambing shed and out in the fields, we do this in the dark not knowing what markets will be open for these lambs later this year.

Tori Morgan - NFU EU Exit & International Trade Adviser
Stuart Hammond - NFU Livestock Board Delegate
Rhys Davies - Farmers Marts Dolgellau
Nathan Ward - Kantar World Panel Business Unit Director
Don Thomas - Welsh Lamb and Beef Producers, Chief Executive Officer
"We are very late on in the Article 50 process. Last week, a majority of MPs voted to send the Prime Minister back to Brussels to attempt to renegotiate her Brexit deal and seek binding changes. The language coming out of Europe has made it pretty clear that they are not prepared to renegotiate what was agreed at the end of last year and I am concerned that we will end up wasting more time at what is an absolutely critical stage.
"My real fear is that we will see the clock run down and we will depart the EU without having secured a trade deal. For NFU Cymru a 'No deal' scenario is completely unacceptable. Under such a scenario we would see very significant WTO tariff rates applied to our exports, immediately pricing us out of our nearest and most valuable export market. In addition, as a third country we would face significant regulatory barriers when exporting to the EU, further eroding our competitive position.
"These concerns are coupled with Government continuing to veer away from any form of commitment to protect our high standards within the UK Agriculture Bill. Welsh farmers hold very real fears that those in Westminster whose desire is to secure a quick trade deal will do so at the expense of Welsh agriculture by opening our markets to produce that falls well short of the high welfare, food safety and environmental standards exercised here in Wales.
"Our industry produces over 65,000 tons of sheep meat and around 48,000 tons of beef, much of which commands PGI status, and delivers an annual turnover of £1.3 billion. A scenario that puts the future of this great and iconic Welsh industry in jeopardy must not be realised.
"NFU Cymru calls on all our politicians to come together for the good of the country and secure continued uninterrupted free and frictionless access to our closest and largest export market. Failure to deliver this will have devastating consequences for the fabric and beating heart of rural Wales."

Christ the Protector () is a statue of Jesus Christ constructed in Encantado, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

The statue was started in 2019, and completed in April 22, 2022, with a height of 43 m (140 ft) with its pedestal, making it the world's third tallest Jesus statue (after Jesus Buntu Burake and Christ the King, Świebodzin) and 5m taller than the [[Christ the Redeemer (statue)|Christ the Redeemer]]'' statue in Rio de Janeiro. Construction began in 2019 and was the idea of local mayor Adroaldo Conzatti, who died of COVID-19 in March 2021.

The Friends of Christ Association (AACristo) organization funded the $350,000 to build it from donations and also oversaw the construction of the statue. The venue will be open to the public sometime in 2023, said Robison Gonzatti, AACristo's vice president.

Though the surrounding tourist complex is still under construction, visitors can visit the statue up close during Saturdays, Sundays and Brazilian holidays as indicated in their website.
