Adam Archuleta always knew he would have to do things the hard way.
Even as a child, he figured he didn't have the talent to make it to the NFL on athletic ability alone.
He would just have to outwork everyone else, just try harder.
according to a source with knowledge of the situation.


This is one just struck a cord with me. I think Kevin Kline is a very underrated actor and he stars as a father who has to take care of his son while dealing with his own illness. Hayden Christensen plays his son, this was before he went to star in the Star Wars prequels.Christensen displays the acting that got him the role of Anakin Skywalker and he is good as the troubled son, acting like he never did in the Star Wars movies. Rounding out the impressive cast is Kristin Scott Thomas, Jena Malone, and Mary Steenburgen. This movie just made me feel all the emotion of a father trying to reach his son, I tend to be a sucker for dad and son movie and this one got me to shed some tears. The movie gives you hope despite all the death that surrounds it.

Gallic product design hotshot Philippe Starck says he's working on a "fairly, if not very, revolutionary" project with Apple that will be out in time for Christmas.
Starck dropped the bombshell in an interview with French radio station France Info, but declined to elaborate on what he meant due to Apple's "secrecy cult", AFP reported.
"Indeed, we have a big project together that will be out in eight months," the Frenchman said, adding that the whatever-it-is will be "fairly, if not very, revolutionary".
The designer was chatting about his friendship with Steve Jobs when he mentioned the project, telling the show that he regularly visited the billionaire biz baron at his home in California and that he still goes there now to visit his wife.
"We used to love talking about interesting things," he said.
Starck is famous for turning regular household items, such as toothbrushes and chairs, into expensive designer gear, as well as designing buildings and beer halls. His arguably most famous product was the squid-like Starck Juicy Salif fruit botherer, so what he will do with already heftily priced Apple products will be interesting to see.
Could he be the brains behind the rumoured unibody chassis for the iPhone 5? Is he there to fix the-new-iPad's connectivity issues? Why don't you tell the El Reg Apple rumour desk via our chic new forums. ®


Knoxville, Tennessee rockers 10 Years have released the official music video for “Burnout”. The song “Burnout” is taken from the band’s latest album, “(How To Live) As Ghosts”.
“‘Burnout’ is a song about having everything you’ve ever wanted in the palm of your hand but letting it slip away,” guitarist/drummer Brian Vodinh said. “A case of not knowing what you have until it’s gone. It’s such a fun song to play live and we will be sharing the stage with Breaking Benjamin as well as Seether coming up on tour, so fans will definitely get to hear this one!”
10 Years returned in October 2017 with “(How To Live) As Ghosts”, and welcomed back former members Vodinh and Matt Wantland (guitar).
The band’s eighth studio album was produced by the Grammy Award-winning Nick Raskulinecz.


In the Spring of 2015, Megan will be receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Dance from Dean College, in Franklin, MA. As a dance student, Megan has studied ballet, jazz, modern, hip-hop, tap, and pointe, as well as Dance Composition, Pedagogy, Anatomy, and Kinesiology. From her time at Dean, she has become most proficient in the fields of ballet and the Horton Technique. Upon entering the school, Megan was awarded a yearly performing arts scholarship. In her junior year, she also received the Joan Phelps Palladino Dance Award scholarship, for exhibiting "the most skill and ability in dance." Megan has also extended her studies outside of Dean, attending summer intensives including: American Ballet Academy (2009), Briansky Ballet Center (2010), and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater (2013).
Megan is working to pursue a career as a dance performer. For the past three years, she has been selected to perform in faculty-choreographed works in Dean College's end-of-the-year staging of "Dance Company." In that time she danced for choreographers including Gregory King, Jeremy Ruth-Howes, and Laura Young of Boston Ballet. Megan has also had many performance opportunities outside of her school. In 2011, Megan was cast in Gregory King's "Strange Invisible Perfume." The cast performed this piece in the 2012 American College Dance Festival in Connecticut, where it was selected to be staged for the national gala at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.. In 2014, the cast traveled to stage the piece a final time at the Joyce Theater for New York City Dance Alliance's "Destiny Rising."
Most recently, Megan was selected to dance for Bill Evans in his piece, "Colony." The piece will travel to New York in December to be performed at the Ailey Theater in honor of Evans's American Dance Guild Lifetime Achievement Award.

Although author Ashleigh C’mone Smith has experienced a number of challenging circumstances, she’s been able to overcome them. In In Life There is a Way!, she shares these stories and the role they played in her personal spiritual journey.
From losing her father at a young age, to learning important life lessons from her disabled sister, Smith tells how she makes her relationship with God a priority and how she’s grown through prayer.
In this memoir, Smith chronicles how she had a reason to give up, but she refused. Staying connected to God is the answer. She thanks God each day for everything—for the things he’s done and things he’s going to do.


So this is my first blog post. What is it? (for my family and friends who don't know) A blog is basically a journal or diary that you write in every day (or whenever you remember) except that it's online and anyone can read it.
It's actually a nice way for people to keep up with their friends without calling them. Something I am very good at. Not calling people. Maybe I should call someone.
So what is new with me? I have decided to buy a condo. The first place I am looking at tomorrow used to be a convent. My roommate said "we will never get married if we live there." I thought it might guilt me into going to church.
I keep playing around with this, please forgive me for wierd items.

I'm having trouble building the 64 bit version of the current development version of NVDA. My system is:
Windows 7 Professional SP 1 32 bit
Visual Studio 2010 Professional.
Building for 32 bit works fine:
scons dist targetArchitectures=x86
When I just do
then I get an error dialog saying "The program can't start because mspdb100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.". Calling vcvarsall using the command call "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat"
gets rid of this error dialog, however results in a lot of unresolved externals (see attached file "unresolved externals.txt").
All problems go away when I comment out the following the following lines in site_scons\site_tools\windowsSdk.py:
Comment 1 by mdcurran on 2012-07-05 23:04
We only officially support Windows SDK 7.0 and 7.1. Windows SDK comes with all compilers and tools needed.
There may be conflicts trying to use both Windows SDK and VS.
I understand this is not a great situation, but it does work okay for the majority building NVDA.
Scons's support for Windows SDK 7.1 is currently broken hense the need for our custom windowsSDK scons tool. If the problem gets fixed in scons then we can remove this tool and perhaps VS may work again, though I'm not sure.
Leaving this ticket open as it crtainly would be nice to improve this situation at some point.
Milestone changed from None to near-term
Comment 4 by nvdakor on 2012-10-17 17:54
I think we may need to put this into source readme - to NOT install compilers shipping with SDK 7.0 if they already have VS2008 or 2010 installed on their systems.

My posts are so consistent and so predictable, and yet they don’t always sink You know what a typical dating profile looks like. Nice, smart, kind, warm, funny, honest, successful, ambitious, family-oriented. I like hiking, biking, movies, music, and travel. I love to laugh. I recently made an online profile in the hopes of trying to find a man that I can connect with on a deeper level than the past.
Just type your one-line question into the search box below to see my answer. I'm still dealing with issues internally of fear and past experiences, as is he. But we can talk about these things and know that we have something special. He was gentle, tough, hugely insightful and extremely accurate at decoding a man's words, his actions, his lack of action, his likely intentions. It was like having a direct line to a man's private talk.
The result of giving up the search for “why” is losing the worry, the wringing of the hands, the wondering if he will call, and all the stress and sadness that goes with the worry. I feel more confident and relaxed and I'm not even sure it matters if I meet the one. I have a whole new way to enjoy life and enjoy having men in my life.

If you are planning to start trying to conceive soon, or
If you are concerned about your fertility because its taking longer than you hoped to get pregnant, or
You have suffered recurrent miscarriages...
I want to give you a super important heads-up.
You need to make sure your make sure your man has had his sperm tested for DNA fragmentation, don't assume it has been done by your specialist because this test is often left out..
The integrity of genetic material in the sperm is crucial for successful fertilization and normal embryo development. DNA fragmentation indicates genetic abnormalities within sperm, increased levels of DNA fragmentation have a huge impact on a couple's combined fertility and it is NOT being tested often enough.
This is incredibly frustrating, here we are nearly at 2020 and there is still an overwhelming lean toward blaming a woman for fertility issues. Large studies have shown with no doubt at all that there is a 50/50 male/female responsibility for a healthy, full term pregnancy.
Increased levels DNA fragmentation cause-
Reduced chances of conception
Embryos with a poor prognosis
Blastocyst arrest (where the cells in a fertilized egg stop dividing)
Increased risk of miscarriage
Increased abnormalities in babies.
Most of us will do anything we can that is safe and effective to avoid these risks... right?
Many of the couples I work with have suffered these issues and yet the testing hasn't been done.
Furthermore, once we discover the issue and treat using a natural holistic approach we can reduce fragmentation from poor-very poor levels to good-excellent in 3 months.
If you are struggling with -
Arrested embryo development
Poor blastocyst development
Multiple failed IVF/ICSI treatments
Advanced chronological age.
Save yourself time, money and heartache- get your man tested, its a fairly low cost, easy, low stress test and the results could give you the understanding you need to massively boost your chances of conception.
Make sure you have this test performed before you go any further. I refer my patients to an Andrology lab, where they have the equipment and advanced training to provide the accurate results I want for my patients.
When I receive the results, I spend time interpreting and explaining them so that the couples I work with are empowered with the understanding they need to make the decisions and changes required to improve their combined fertility.
Do you know what your man's sperm fragmentation rate is? If not, I'd suggest its time to find out. Let me know if you'd like help!

Let's be frank – there are more pressures heaped on millennial shoulders than ever before.
Be it stress at work, relationship issues, social media pressure, the housing crisis, or mental health struggles, it's safe to say we have quite a lot going on.
However, it's essential to be mindful when it comes to taking the time to relax, unwind and recuperate from the stress of the day.
In this hectic world where harmony has become a luxury, allowing body and mind to come together as one is a priority.
Aromatherapy is used across the board in various wellness practices to promote the rebalance of the mind.
From the incense burning at your yoga class to the invigorating ingredients used in your aromatherapy massage, scent has much to be celebrated for when it comes to establishing a mood or ambience.
It's now easier than ever to incorporate this practice into your routine, to promote specific feelings, be they of energy, relaxation or nourishment for the mind and body.
There are a number of products available that combine aromatherapy and mindfulness that you can use day to day in your own beauty and relaxation ritual.
No spa appointments necessary – although feel free to lash on a face mask and light some candles.
Yon-Ka Lait Hydratant, €35.00, Yon-Ka Phyto-Bain Bath Oil, €39.00
Yon-Ka have introduced a lush range of skincare products that take their inspiration from four key aromatic elements which evoke unique auras.
For those of us feeling fatigued and in need of an energising effect, there's the Detox range – melded with powerful and re-balancing essential oils.
The Lait Hydratant promises to leave the skin hydrated and replenished, with it's combination of vegetable glycerin, grape seed and sweet almond oil.
The classic Phyto-Bain uses essential oils like Lavender, Everlasting, Petitgrain, Rosemary and Sage that claim to tone the skin and 'drain' it to detoxify.
For a more relaxing vibe, essential oils from sunflower, sesame and baobab are called for.
Ideal for use before bed time, the Yon-Ka Huile Délicieuse's light formula quickly penetrates the skin, leaving behind a nourished texture and a soft scent to take you off to Leaba Land.
Applying it to the right pressure points and gently massaging can promote a feeling of wellness, and combined with a great eye mask, can increase the feeling of calm for an enveloping night of sleep.
With sleep being the catalyst for proper brain function and alacrity, expect to feel refreshed and replenished.
Yon-Ka Gommage Sucre, €36.00
If baths and mini-massage sessions just aren't practical additions to your night time routine, the incorporation of the right shower scrub could be just the ticket.
Once again utilising the power of scent and essential oils, Yon-Ka has introduced two delicious (but sadly not edible) scrubs to their line-up, inspired by the regions of France.
Yon-Ka Gommage Sucre promises to scrub away the stress of the day or the shackles of sleepiness with white and brown sugar as the active ingredient.
The sugars are enhanced with sunflower oil to gently exfoliate the skin and aromatically invigorate the user.
After showering with the scrub, light some incense to further your feelings of replenishment, or opt for a cup of energising ginger tea.
The addition of taking five ot 10 minutes to really consider your wellbeing, and incorporate scent as a promoter of eudeamonia among the average routine can have your mind feeling more peaceful in mere moments, adding joy, positivity and wellness to the day.

My second day began with dogs barking and birds singing. The air was crisp and my heart and head were in full swing. One at a time, I opened the suitcases that were brought to our bed chambers and inspected the contents… separating the donations for Nuevo Reto from the others. I set the pressing ones at the top of the stairs and waited for some strong young men to help me get them downstairs to the library.
In the mean time, I was greeted by smiling young faces telling me that it was time for breakfast. We were treated with some delicious pancakes and scrambed eggs and entertained by children running and playing. Despite Margarita telling young Brandon, Bryan and Fernando not to run in the house, they did. They were delightful though, and offered Scott and Sarah the opportunity to get involved with their shenanigans.
Daniela was one of the first ones to show up this morning. I was happy to finally meet her in person. Guatemala Service Projects sponsors the education of Daniela. She is charming, and with the advantage of such a sweet older sister, Brandon and Bryan have another positive role model in their lives. meeting her early set me to have a fantastic day. She smiled at me throughout the day, and I beamed in return.
While breakfast was being cleared away, and the structured part of the day had not yet begun, it was time to stock the bookshelves. Actually, that initially began by me holding up a bag and saying something like “English beginner” or “Spanish older kids” and the kids learning the words well enough to know where to put them on the shelves — according to language and age-appropriateness (or reading evel). For this library, we received requests to have about 40% English and 60% Spanish. So, one shelf was all English, with board books and beginner readers at the bottom, and a few chapter books at the top. For Spanish, again we had some beginner and easy readers as well as chapter books, but we also had a small section of romances, self-help books and medical reference guides.
Once all of the bags of books were put on the appropriate sheves, I used the help of my family to remove all of the books from their protective plastic ziploc bags and arrange them neatly on the shelves. It’s a good thing we had those books packed in plastic bags. When I did it last year, it was just to help them from sliding around in the suitcases individually. However, this year the suitcases got rained on twice during our trip, causing rain to soak through the bags. If it were not for the clever packaging, most of the books would have been ruined. (As it was, two copies of my Guatemalan Picture Dictionary — more in a future post — were damaged beyond salvation.)
The day at Nuevo Reto is divided along the schedule of the school day. With the younger kids attending school in the morning, the older kids attend English class at Nuevo Reto in the morning. After lunch, the groups swap. So, today while the younger kids were at school, we observed as Ali, a recent high school graduate from Ohio that is one month into her 3-month stay with Nuevo Reto, sang a song in English with the kids and then reviewed some common infinitives with the phrase “I like”… I heard so many of the kids choose “to learn” (aprender) from the list of infinitives. So, while “me gusta aprender” was on the board, the kids were saying “I like to learn” and then reinforcing the new vocabulary with a written record in their notebooks. Once it was written, the kids would take their notebooks to Ali and say it in front of her in English. After any necessary pronunciation corrections were made, each child received a high five. I was proud of Daniela’s efforts, and very impressed with Junior’s dedication to learning English. Delightful to witness!
Following the “me gusta” lesson, we were given the choice to implement an activity that we planned. We played Uno, which was one of the non-book items that we donated to the library! I thought that it would be a good way to reinforce colors and numbers, minimally, and would be a fun way for each person to participate — unless they were skipped! We started with a larger group, so I only dealt five cards to each player. As each student played a card, they had to say both the color and the number in English. It took a while for a couple people to catch on to the rules, especially when a skip or reverse card was played, but a winner was eventually determined!
During the second game, the kids thought it would be fun to hear us say the colors and numbers in Spanish when we played a card! Scott and Sarah both knew enough Spanish to play along and not make mistakes! We played three games in total and a fun time was had by all.
One of the Uno participants was the young lady, Sindel, that my family personally sponsors. I was happy to get a photo with her as well. She told me, after seeing the photo, that she thought she looked ugly. But, that couldn’t be farther from the truth. She is actually quite beautiful, and very friendly. Good Uno player too! My dad would love her — he’s quite the card player himself!
After Engish class had come to a close, it was time for lunch. We were served a delicious noodle soup that they called “sopa mein” which was a cross between chicken noodle and a chicken chow mein. It was delicious, and served with warm tortillas and refreshing jamaica to drink. I just had to snap a photo of the cuties working in the kitchen making tortillas. I snapped several photos and told them I was doing so because they had the prettiest smiles.
Then, after lunch, the most amazing and beautiful thing happened! I was blessed to see that Ada had another surprise up her sleeve. Sarah approached me in the dining room and said “I think they’re painting our logo on the wall”. Sure enough! Ada free-handed our logo and had started painting it in with the help of a few older girls in the program. Then, one at a time, each of the kids present had their hands painted and were given permission to press their handprints on the wall around the outside of the logo painting. The older kids, as well as those that were brave enough to climb the ladder, got their handprints on the top. It was so beautiful to see all the different sized handprints included — representing the wide range of kids being served by the Nuevo Reto ministry! Little Yardy had her hands painted a few different coors (as did Sarah and several of the other kids. They loved it, and the final result was gorgeous! I won’t share them all because of space limitations, but I wish I could. Those kids are awesome, and so is Ada, the young adult director of Nuevo Reto. Ada Castillo is truly the right arm of her father, Jacobo Castillo, the executive director of the organization. I’m so happy and proud to be aligned with them both.
At mid-afternoon, we were ready for the library dedication. Chairs lined the room with the painted murals, facing the closed door of the library. The dedication began with a few words from me about how important it was to always being in a learning mode and that reading opens our eyes and hearts and minds to so many different and interesting things and ideas. Following my brief statement, Pastor Jacob continued by telling all those gathered about the fundamental value of reading and encouraged the young people of his community to read all that they could! He presented me with a certificate of appreciation and then we joind together for a ribbon cutting . Ada closed the afternoon by stating the initial hours of operation for the Nuevo Reto Community Library — Mondays and Fridays from 9-11am and from 2-4pm. Long live the Nuevo Reto Community Library!
For dinner, we enjoyed a community meal of spaghetti with garlic bread, and then shared in fellowship with singing and more words of inspiration offered by Pastor Jacob.
What a magical day — one that I will never forget.


Marvel Announces First Gay Captain America, Aaron Fischer
Marvel Comics has just announced that for the first time in the comic’s history, the superhero Captain America will be portrayed by an LGBTQ character.
Aaron Fischer is described as “the Captain America of the Railways—fearless teen who stepped up to protect fellow runaways and the unhoused. Marvel Comic is proud to honor Pride Month with the rise of this new LGBTQ+ hero.”
The limited series, The United States of Captain America, written by Christopher Cantwell with art by Dale Eaglesham, will follow “Steve Rogers teaming up with Captain Americas of the past—Bucky Barnes, Sam Wilson and John Walker – on a road trip across America to find his stolen shield. Throughout the group’s journey, they’ll discover everyday people from all walks of life who’ve taken up the mantle of Captain America to defend their communities.”
“Aaron is inspired by heroes of the queer community: activists, leaders and everyday folks pushing for a better life,” said Joshua Trujilo, writer of Aaron’s debut issue. “He stands for the oppressed and the forgotten. I hope his debut story resonates with readers and helps inspire the next generation of heroes.”
“I want to thank editor Alanna Smith and Joshua Trujilo very much for asking me to create Aaron,” added Jan Bazaldua, illustrator of the issue. “I really enjoyed designing him and as a transgender person, I am happy to be able to present an openly gay person who admires Captain America and fights against evil to help those who are almost invisible to society. While I was drawing him, I thought, well, Cap fights against super-powerful beings and saves the world almost always but Aaron helps those who walk alone in the street with problems that they face every day.

Peacock’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot will air in February of 2022, according to a press release that went out this afternoon.
After dropping the first-ever teaser clip for the dramatic version of the hit series, Peacock announced Bel-Air will premiere on Feb. 13, which is also Super Bowl Sunday. Jabari Banks, a rising actor from West Philadelphia, will take on the role of Will. Here’s an official synopsis:
“Set in modern-day America, Bel-Air is a serialized one-hour dramatic analogue of the 90’s sitcom ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ that leans into the original premise: Will’s complicated journey from the streets of West Philadelphia to the gated mansions of Bel-Air. With a reimagined vision, Bel-Air will dive deeper into the inherent conflicts, emotions and biases that were impossible to fully explore in a 30-minute sitcom format, while still delivering swagger and nods to the original show.”
Director, Co-Writer & Executive Producer Morgan Cooper, who went viral with his 2019 reimagining of the classic series and who sparked the new Bel-Air production, said in a statement:
“With this dramatic reimagining, we wanted to create a show that stands on its own while honoring the spirit and innovation of the original series. Because Bel-Air is a drama, we’re able to really peel back the layers of these characters and themes in a way that you simply couldn’t do 30 years ago in the half-hour sitcom format. We’re able to go have tough conversations that challenge perspectives. At its core, Bel-Air is a celebration of the black experience through the perspective of a family. “
“My approach to the series started with a deep focus on tone and really being intentional with my creative choices,” he went on. “I’m inspired by a lot of things as a director; it could be a random conversation, memories from my past, it could be art, music, fashion. Everything can be inspiration, and having a two-season order gives us the opportunity to go infinitely deeper narratively, visually, and aesthetically. I think that with Bel-Air we have created something unique and honest. “

Cast: Newcomer Jabari Banks as “Will”; Adrian Holmes as “Phillip Banks” (At That Age, V Wars); Cassandra Freeman as “Vivian Banks” (The Enemy Within, Atlanta); Olly Sholotan as “Carlton Banks” (Run Hide Fight, Evolution of Nate Gibson); Coco Jones as “Hilary Banks” (Let it Shine, Vampires vs. The Bronx); Akira Akbar as “Ashley Banks” (We Can Be Heroes, Captain Marvel); Jimmy Akingbola as “Geoffrey” (Most Dangerous Game, In The Long Run); Jordan L.

A TEENAGE girl needed a life-saving operation to remove her STOMACH after drinking a cocktail laced with liquid nitrogen.
Gaby Scanlon, 18, was rushed to hospital after downing two ‘Nitro Jagermeister’ drinks on a boozy night out.
Surgeons found she had a perforated stomach — and feared she would die unless they removed it straight away.
Her parents were last night at their daughter’s bedside at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, where she is “serious but stable”.
Sixth-form student Gaby had been out with pals in Lancaster city centre and had drunk the Jagermeister and liquid nitrogen cocktails in Oscar’s Wine Bar and Bistro.
The chemical, popularised by TV chef Heston Blumenthal, vaporises at -196°C and in drinks creates a smoky “dry ice” effect.
Although her pals suffered no ill-effects, Gaby, from nearby Heysham, began to feel breathless. She then had severe stomach pains and was rushed to hospital at 11pm.
Lancashire police said an investigation was under way and added: “Medical opinion is that this would have proved fatal had the operation not been carried out urgently.

Homeland is shaking things up for its upcoming season.
The Showtime series — which kicked off PaleyFest 2015 on Friday night — will be moving to a new location, have a time jump and find its central character, Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes), in a new job.
“I think we’re going to do a big time jump — two, two-and-a-half years from where we ended season four,” Homeland co-creator Alex Gansa told The Hollywood Reporter before the panel, noting they’re planning to forgo flashbacks and jump straight into where the characters are now. “The story will be set in Germany, in Berlin…We have our fingers crossed we’ll shoot in Berlin…[in that time Carrie will] be trying to come to terms with her life in the Central Intelligence Agency [and] dealing with what she felt at the very end of season four, which is disillusionment and disdain about it. So she’ll actually be out of the agency.”
“It’s not her area of expertise; she’s a Middle East expert,” executive producer Meredith Stiehm pointed out to THR. “[Berlin is] a really interesting city because of its past, and its need to make up for its sins. And I think Carrie’s going to be in that place because of last season and all she’s done. She’s going to feel the need to atone.”
Carrie won’t be the only one with the need to atone. At the end of season four, Saul (Mandy Patinkin), seemingly, accepted a deal that had him aligning with Dar Adal (F. Murray Abraham)…and Dar Adal’s “ally” Haqqani (Numan Acar). But Gansa pointed out during the panel that’s the norm for people in that field of work: “This is exactly what the Intelligence Agency [does], this is exactly what America does: our enemies one day become our friends the next…it’s hard to swallow, it’s hard to accept.”
But that decision will impact Saul’s relationship with Carrie. “[It’s] difficult,” Gansa teased to THR of where they stand when season five picks up.
“They seem to have not spoken for a long time,” executive producer — and soon-to-depart writer — Chip Johannessen added. “That may be for a good reason.”
One thing that will be an easier: Carrie’s battle with accepting motherhood.
“She’s embracing it. I think she’s trying to make a significant and profound change in her life,” Gansa shared.
“It’s like she lost two fathers in a way: her professional father and her actual father,” Stiehm said. “She’s grown up. She’s become less of the problem child, and is now [embracing her role] as a mother of a child; she’s not conflicted about Frannie anymore, which I think is important…that’s a new place for her.”
That new place could also lead to a new kind of relationship for Carrie.
“I’m going to take the fifth on that one,” Gansa said about any potential romance for Carrie in her new life. He also plead the fifth when it came to the status of her relationship with Quinn (Rupert Friend), noting, “Those are the big questions! I’d like to save those as a surprise.”
Whether Quinn and Carrie turn romantic — and the panelists acknowledged there was a “tremendous” amount of debate in the writers room about that — Danes noted during the panel that she appreciated how the show handled the push-pull of the relationship in season four.
“It was handled really beautifully, really intelligently,” she said. “It was always fun; that dynamic is always fun, because he’s so similar to her, and she’s so rarely challenged by another outlier. I thought it was very amusing how affronted she was by that, and threatened by that, and it exposed a vulnerability we don’t normally see in her. And because they’re so similar, they repel one another and attract one another, so that’s always fun to play with. I think at the end of the season, they had been through such a harrowing, traumatic experience, and they were jettisoned back to civilian life, and they’re really struggling.”
“It’s always very jarring and disorientating to be jettisoned back to civilian life, and there’s just no one else they can feel comfortable with,” Danes elaborated to reporters about the duo’s bond pre-panel. “There’s been probably some tension or chemistry or something, but I think they’re just clinging to each other because they’re displaced; psychically, emotionally, they’re still back in Pakistan.”
As the show sets out to craft season five — the writers have been at work for over a month, and are currently breaking the second episode — Gansa acknowledged to THR it’s impossible to ignore the real-life events that are going on.
“Look at what’s going on in the Middle East, look at what’s going on in Syria and Iraq, look what’s happening in the Ukraine,” he said. “We’ll be in Europe telling this story. It’s all going to be part of the world she’s in.”
“There is a delicate balance, we try to be responsible,” Showtime president David Nevins told THR. “It is a discussion, [including] the safety of the cast and crew. We try hard to be honest and truthful and represent complicated issues in a way that does no harm to the world, and that’s an increasingly complicated thing to get done.”

5 Tips for Successfully Submitting a Job Application on Local Eye Site
Before uploading your resume, be sure to check for spelling and grammatical errors. Overlooking minor details can reflect poorly on your application.
Tailor your cover letter to address the position you’re applying for. Using a standard cover letter template can convey a lack of interest to an employer.
Save your resume in a format that will protect the text and layout of the document, such as a PDF. This will prevent your formatted resume from showing up differently when opened by the recipient.
Unless specifically requested, avoid attaching distracting peripherals like headshots and award certificates to your application. They aren’t necessary, and can sometimes be perceived as unprofessional.
Be sure to allow time for the hiring manager to review your application before following up with them. A general follow-up timeframe is about 7-10 business days, after which a simple email will generally suffice.


Gardaí to set up checkpoints to detect motorists driving under the influence over Christmas
The six-week campaign kicks off this weekend.
Gardaí will be setting up checkpoints to detect motorists who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs ahead of the Christmas season.
The move was announced as part of the new campaign from An Garda Síochána and the Road Safety Authority (RSA) launched on Thursday (25 November).
It calls on drivers to act responsibly and not be tempted to drink and drive this Christmas and New Year period.
This weekend will mark the start of the six-week campaign which will see Gardaí conducting "mandatory intoxicant testing checkpoints" around the country to detect drivers under the influence.
They will also be targeting people who commit other offences on the road, such as speeding, not wearing a seat belt and using a mobile phone while driving.
On top of this, Gardaí will be focusing on unaccompanied driving by learner drivers as well.
Research published by An Garda Síochána and the RSA at the Thursday launch shows that, over the last five years, there were 83 fatalities and 709 serious injuries over the Christmas and New Year period.
"Unfortunately drink driving is still a problem on Irish roads," Garda Deputy Commissioner Ann Marie McMahon said in a statement.
"4,453 drivers have been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving and 3,333 have been arrested for drug driving this year to date. This is almost 166 drivers arrested each week for these offences.
"This Christmas and New Year, we are appealing to motorists to drive safely and under no circumstances drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
"120 people have lost their lives on the roads this year and members of An Garda Síochána have had to deliver this devastating news to their families.
"We don’t want to have to deliver this news to your family this Christmas.”
RSA Chairperson Liz O’Donnell said that while the festive season is meant to be one of the happiest times of the year, every Christmas the state agency sees the devastating impact drink-driving has on families.
"Drink-driving is a choice. it doesn’t happen by accident. Your choice to drink and drive could have lasting consequences," she states.
"At best you could lose your licence, at worst you could be responsible for someone’s death or serious injury, leaving families devastated. It's simply not worth the risk."
Meanwhile, RSA CEO Sam Waide has warned that driving in the morning after a night of drinking is a "real danger zone".
"Our own research... shows that one in four drivers admit to driving over the limit the morning after," he explained.
"There is no hard and fast rule about when it is safe to drive the morning after if you have been drinking the previous night.
"But motorists should allow at least one hour per standard drink for the alcohol to clear their system. A standard drink is a half-pint, a small glass of wine or a standard measure of spirits.
"Also, if drinking at home, you may be unknowingly drinking larger measures and therefore increasing the risk of being unsafe to drive the following morning.
"The key is never to take chances, don’t risk it, you could end up losing your licence or worse.”


Picking up trash for a week is Blair’s detention for her tomfoolery with Ms. Carr (Rachel, if she likes you). Trash duty? That’s what you get for an unexcused tardy not stranding a teacher in a big city park alone at night in an act of revenge. But as lenient as the punishment is, it’s still too tough for Blair, so Dorota has to do it. Blair’s father brings a morning picnic for his hardworking daughter because he believes she’s being scapegoated by a mean, evil teacher. Parents are so gullible.
Blair completes her detention, but still tries to rally the Mean Girl troops to help wage war on Ms. Carr. Blair argues that Ms. Carr, an outsider, has stepped onto Constance Billard turf and is attempting to take away the girls’ way of life by messing with their traditions and values and minimizing the impact the girls have had on Constance Billard culture and history. It’s quite a rallying cry, but the girls’ are mean, not stupid. They want no part of Blair’s vendetta — until the headmistress announces that all cell phone use is banned during school hours and phones must be turned in before each school day. And yeah, it’s Ms. Carr’s idea. The Mean Girls jump on board the vendetta train.
Serena and Dan haven’t spoken for a week. They aren’t mad at each other; it’s more that they aren’t mad for each other anymore. Serena is being mentored by Rachel and feels that Rachel is really showing an interest in Serena’s academic future. She visits a coffee shop before school excited to show Rachel her most recent draft, but sees Rachel and Dan already having coffee and Rachel is fawning over some of Dan’s writings. Serena’s a little thrown off to see them together and all the Dan fawning intimidates her.
Chuck, who apparently doesn’t attend school, wakes up in some hotel with a weird tattoo-like stamp on his wrist. He flashes back to scenes from the night before with scantily clad women and businessmen all wearing masks like in a masquerade ball but it’s all foggy. He calls Nate to try to explain the evening and realizes that he can’t. He still has the invitation and the address of where he went, and he asks Nate to meet him over there.
At school, Blair and the cronies hole up waiting for Dorota to drop off the now-illegal contraband of new cell phones. Once they have the phones, they Google their brains out looking for dirt on Rachel but there’s nothing. As they begin to leave for classes, Blair sees Dan and Rachel in the hallway with Dan stammering around nervous, and Blair gets a sense that maybe more is going on between them. Blair sends the rumor to Gossip Girl and before too long, Dan gets the atta-boy nods of admiration from the guys. Jenny tells him about the rumor and Dan’s ticked because he knows it taints Rachel, not him.
Serena asks Dan about the rumor, and he says it isn’t true. He’s confused because he thinks everyone digs Rachel, but Serena tips him that Blair’s not a big fan. Dan confronts Blair and she denies posting anything, but Blair’s snide denials are always admissions.
Serena sees Rachel on campus and tells her she was intimidated to show Rachel her paper, and Rachel gives her a pep talk and all is well. As Serena and Rachel walk the campus, Rachel gets stares of scorn from female students and Serena tells her that a rumor is floating on Gossip Girl about her inappropriate relationship with Dan. Serena talks about the website and how you can anonymously start rumors and ruin people’s reputations and engage in juvenile public humiliation with no recourse, and boy, isn’t that fun! She advises Rachel to just ignore it because people forget and it will all go away.
Not being one to ignore things, Rachel tells the headmistress about the rumor and Blair is called into the office and expelled! Hey, I thought Blair might have to scrape gum from under the desks for this one. Blair’s in shock and insists they have no proof, but in walks Nelly Yuki saying she ratted Blair out because it was either Blair or all the Mean Girls and Nelly opted for just Blair.
Nate and Vanessa meet Chuck at the house where the party was held. It’s vacant with a “for sale” sign out front; inside, there is no sign of a party from the previous night. Chuck sees a picture of the gorgeous woman that he made out with the night before. (Hmm, she mysteriously looks a lot like Jenny Schecter’s ex-girlfriend Nikki.) In the picture the woman is holding a baby and looks so wholesome that it’s hard for Nate and Vanessa to buy what Chuck’s saying. Chuck calls the real estate agent hoping to learn more about this woman.
Chuck finds out the name of the owner and learns that the woman he was kissing, Elle, is the nanny to the children of the owner and that the nanny was with the family the previous night. He’s really confused, but he leaves his name and number anyway in hopes the nanny will call him back to clear up a few things.
At home, heartbroken Blair is comforted by her father. He’s ready to fight for her but asks for the truth so he doesn’t look like an idiot fighting on a lie. Blair insists that she didn’t start that rumor and that she didn’t write anything untrue. A parent meeting is called for that evening.
Serena meets with Rachel to beg for mercy on her girlfriend Blair’s behalf, but Rachel isn’t hearing it. Can’t say I blame her. When Rachel leaves, she leaves behind her day planner with a meet-up with Dan penciled in. At the meet-up, Rachel is crying because her rep has been ruined by Blair’s rumor, and Dan tries to comfort her by playing with her hair and leaning in to try to hug on her. Serena watches from outside and snaps a picture because she’s mad that Dan lied to her about Rachel. Serena then gives the picture to Blair who takes it to the parent meeting.
After being assured by Dan of no wrongdoing, Rufus is ready to do battle for his kid. The parents discuss banning contact with the Gossip Girl site, but that’s dumb and they talk about free speech versus slanderous statements and all agree that what Blair did was wrong. That is, until Blair shows up and shows them the picture of Dan and Rachel looking waaay cozy.
Serena texted Dan to meet her at the parent meeting. She tells him that she took a picture and was really hurt that he lied. He assures her that he didn’t lie and then they break up for a third time. Is this the charm?
Rachel is fired. Blair gloats to Dan about her Gossip Girl rumor and her dad overhears it and is really disappointed by the person Blair has become.
As for Chuck, Elle meets him at the house and gets all cryptic. She sent the invitation to Mr. Bass but it was meant for Bart, not Chuck, and when she realized the error, she drugged Chuck and got him out of there before the other men realized that a non-member was in their mist. This is a secret society of wealthy, connected men. Elle tells Chuck to just forget anything about that night and to never contact her again. But really what’s the fun in that? The next day, Chuck learns that Elle never made it home.
Dan feels awful about Rachel’s firing and goes to her house to apologize.
Rachel, who is no longer a teacher at school, pulls Dan into a kiss and they begin to undress and engage in a good toss about.
The headmistress realizes that she can’t really fire Ms. Carr because the school may be sued for wrongful termination, so she calls Ms. Carr to let her know she’s unfired, but Ms. Carr is busy having her sonnet inappropriately read by Dan Humphrey.
What’s this secret society? Has Blair learned her lesson or is Nelly Yuki in big trouble?
