Dr. C refered Riley to Dr. F, an orthopedic specialist. I was feeling very lucky because Dr. F was working out of a hospital just 2 miles from my house and he could see me in an hour. It could not have been more convenient.
We arrived at Animal Hospital #2 and waited 45 minutes to see Dr. F. I assumed this was a no brainer surgery case since Dr. C seemed to think so. I expected Dr. F to agree and we would proceed from there.
Dr. F agreed that there was something on the x-ray, but he did not think it was that cut and dry. He took another x-ray from a different angle. He did not see anything on that x-ray so he declared that the bone chip we were seeing was actually some arthritis and that she likely was suffering from a really bad bone bruise. Ice, Deramaxx, and a couple of weeks off and she would be just fine. He did not think there was enough pain or swelling to be a fracture.
I was thrilled and feeling very lucky. We had dodged a bullet. Dr. C called to find out what Dr. F had said and was not convinced. He was not satisfied with that diagnosis and called Dr. F to asked him to look at the x-rays again. Dr. F said he would call back if he changed his mind.
In the meanwhile, I have a greyhound friend in California who happens to be a veterinary internal medicine specialist (Dr. H) and she asked me to email the x-rays to her so she could consult with the orthopedic specialist in her practice (Dr. B). That was easy to do because I had stopped by my house on the way to see Dr. F so I could copy the x-ray disk that Dr. C had given me.... I knew the bloggers would want to see them.
Dr. B was definitely suspicious that the area of concern was a fracture and felt that she was far too lame and non-weight bearing (as I had described) to just be a bone bruise. I relayed the message to Dr. C who called my friend, Dr. H, to discuss Dr. B's findings.............are you confused yet?
And then my friend, Dr. A, chimed in and asked to see the x-rays too. After receiving the email, she too thought we were probably dealing with a fracture.
At this point, we had 4 out of 5 vets believing we had a fracture. I asked Dr. C to refer me to another orthopedic specialist for a 2nd opinion.

Options in America: Kill Yourself or Have a Baby
by Alexander Cockburn
Time made Vladimir Putin its Man of the Year. Chalk it up as nostalgia for the cold war, when America was great, and a working man in a state like Michigan had two cars, a nice house, a country cabin, a health plan, a pension and a wife who stayed at home, canning fruit and batting her eyes at the postman. These days he has two lousy jobs, she has three and they have negative equity in their home, no health plan and no pension.
A couple of indices of how down many Americans are feeling about the future: The suicide rate among middle-aged Americans has reached its highest point in at least 25 years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported.
The rate rose by about 20 percent between 1999 and 2004 for U.S. residents ages 45 through 54  far more than among younger adults, whose own suicide stats are also on the rise.
In 2004, there were 16.6 completed suicides per 100,000 people in the 45-54 cohort, the highest it's been since the CDC started tracking such rates, around 1980. The previous high was 16.5, in 1982, a year when there was a terrible farm crisis in the Mid-West.
These days it's the health care crisis. People can't even afford to get finished off respectably by a doctor or a hospital, so they have to do it themselves.
The second index of desperation is a sudden spike in teen pregnancies, particularly among young black women. As R.F. Blader wrote a few days ago here on this site, "When we believe in our opportunities, we safeguard our futures. Conversely, we behave self-destructively when we have no hope. For many teenagers in America, the options aren't heartening. In a society where opportunities are scarce and life is getting harder, getting pregnant puts a positive spin on a vote of no-confidence." Indeed some argue that having babies early is a very rational choice for a young black teen, since her support network of kin are still alive, and her own body not wasted by the toxins associated with low income neighborhoods.
In less than a week America will start trudging through the endless months of Campaign 2008. Worthy Iowans, their quadrennial season in the limelight at its apex, will cram into the caucuses and kick off the horse races. In all the torrents of rhetorical hot air thus far expended, it's hard to find a single sentence from any politician that could give any comfort to that suicidal 50-year old or the teen with a toddler as her only solace. There are gestures to populism by the Democrat John Edwards, but I've not met anyone who believes that there is the slightest chance of substantive reform of health care or a reversal of soaring trends in inequality. The bad guys have a lock on the system.
The default option these days is fantasy  a trend in American politics kicked off in this epoch by Ronald Reagan. Reagan knew how to keep things simple. When Reagan died a Pentagon official told me that when Ron became president in 1981, and thus "commander in chief" the Joint Chiefs of Staffs mounted their traditional show-and-tell briefings for him, replete with simple charts and a senior general explicating them in simple terms. Reagan found these briefings way too complicated and dozed off. The Joint Chiefs then set up a secret unit, staffed by cartoonists. The balance of forces were set forth in easily accessible caricature, with Soviet missiles the size of upended Zeppelins, pulsing on their launchpads, with the miniscule US ICBMs shrivelled in their bunkers. Little cartoon bubbles would contain the points the joint chiefs wanted to hammer into Reagan's brain, most of them to the effect that "we need more money". Reagan really enjoyed the shows and sometimes even asked for repeats.
Reagan set the bar for the level of national political debate. They called him the Great Communicator and no one has moved the bar since. So who cares if his great contribution to the national fantasy "missile defense", aka, "the strategic defense initiative" aka "Star Wars, is now scheduled to consume 19 per cent of the defense budget even though it's well nigh universally admitted the system is useless. The system is impregnable to reform and everyone knows it.
London-Paris
The Dialectics of Revolution, uh, Recycling
Three years ago some smart leftists in England put together an event called the Battle of Ideas and the mix of provocative
themes, well-run panels and competent speakers worked out well. I was invited to speak at a couple of sessions in the third Battle at the end of this last October and was happy to find its organizers threading a sane course past the rocks on which left-organized confabs usually founder: viz., endless mastication of the obvious; marked disinclination to address any new ideas; overblown preachments to the converted. In fact, on the surface at least, this didn't seem like a particularly "left" affair, which probably explains why that weekend a thousand people were milling around the Royal College of Art, next to the Albert Hall.
Waiting for my first panel — "Digital Commons: Does Technology Add Up To A New Sphere?" My answer, No — , I thought back forty years to what these days would be called a signature sixties event, namely the Congress on the Dialectics of Liberation, held over two weeks in July 1967 in a magnificent railway repair shed known as the Round House, built in the 1840s in north London. There was nothing circular about those proceedings. It was full tilt forward to revolution, personal and political.
The Congress was convened by radical psychiatrists led by R.D. Laing and David Cooper. They believed that the violence done to what they saw as those socially victimized persons termed "schizophrenic" or "mad" had common features with America's imperial violence, at that time being unleashed on revolutionary Vietnam. The affair featured big names and big themes: Herbert Marcuse, Paul Sweezy, Paul Goodman, Stokely Carmichael, Gregory Bateson.
The night before his address I cooked dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Marcuse on behalf of the New Left Review editorial committee. Marcuse was sharing lodgings with Goodman and denounced the latter's habit of leaving the bathroom door open as he stood in his underwear, brushing his teeth, "flirting his buttocks." Marcuse twitched his behind in parody of the licentious author of Growing Up Absurd as, slightly shocked, our group waited to continue with probing questions about the Frankfurt School. "Too much civilization, not enough Eros," Mrs. Marcuse muttered wryly.
Next day Marcuse admonished the large crowd, many of whom had taken up permanent residence in the Roundhouse, "We have been too ashamed, understandably ashamed, to insist on the integral, radical features of a socialist societyif this qualitative difference today appears as Utopian, as idealistic, as metaphysical, this is precisely the form in which these radical features must appear if…socialism is indeed…the leap into the realm of freedom-a total rupture."
What seemed to seize the crowds at the Battle of Ideas thirty years later were not grand visionary sweeps, like those of Marcuse-history has sidelined these for the nonce-but deflations of what one may term rhetorical, politically correct "mini-progressivism." One panel I eagerly attended, "Recycling Is A Waste of Time," featured a German, Thomas Deichmann, describing the insane recycling regulations now beleaguering the citizenry of Frankfurt. The case for efficient incineration, he asserted, was overwhelming. Most recycling is an utter waste of time, economically unsound and without benefit for the environment. "We should," he counseled urbanely, "be thinking of more interesting things."
Julia Hailes, "sustainability consultant" to companies such as Marks and Spencer and Shell, author of The New Green Guide, listened tautly, as did Julie Hill, author of A Zero Waste UK. Ms Hill gazed at Deichmann as though he were a lead battery in a baby's bath. Hailes mimed, with as much enthusiasm, albeit less satirically than Marcuse forty years earlier, the pleasures of tossing foil into one kitchen bin, metal bottle top into another, plastic into a third. Recycling, she chirped, made her feel good.
The two didn't carry the crowd. A man described sorting green, clear and brown glass into three bins, only to see them all dumped into the same truck. A woman seized the microphone: "I go to the dump with my kid each week, to take the rubbish there. Then he goes to school and they do their first day trip, and where do they go?" She paused for effect. "To the dump!" The crowd roared. Mind you, this wasn't a mob of hee-haw Limbaugh-type reactionaries, deriding all collective social efforts to improve the planet. In this and other sessions, their indignation stemmed from a sense that along the road from the grand visions of '67 to the pious sustainability mantras and globe-survivalist waffle of our own phase, the vision of human liberation expressed by Marcuse had collapsed into variants of resource management and nannyism, with irksome rules and protocols, none of which had anything to do with onslaughts on capitalist ownership and control.
Back in 1989 I did some interviews on environmentalism and socialism for Z magazine with the left economist James O'Connor. Jim described what he'd told a fellow in the newspaper recycling business: "If you set up a recycling project where your outfit helps to create the conditions to organize social relations of production that make sense, that have to do with fraternity, equality, liberty, and justice, etc., etc., then I'll recycle my newspapers. Come and tell me when you have done that.
AC: What do you do with your old newspapers?
JO: Throw them in the trash. What do you do with yours?
AC: Throw them in the trash. Back in Ireland with my mother we leave them out for the man from St Vincent de Paul who takes them away for some charitable purpose, thereby maintaining social relations in the sorry state they are today, imploring the poor to pray for relief from heaven. And, needless to say, the poor people of my home town are very glad to have St Vincent de Paul bail them out in their hour of need.
Democrat Found in Republican's Corpse
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A partially mummified hadrosaur discovered by a teenager in North Dakota may be the most complete dinosaur ever found, with intact skin that shows evidence of stripes and perhaps soft tissue, researchers said on Monday.
They also found a second fossil. The clawed foot belongs to a species of crocodile that may have been dining on the hadrosaur soon after it died in a riverbed.
"It could have crawled up the back passage of the animal, went to get the guts and ended up stuck," said paleontologist Phil Manning.

Field and greenhouse studies investigated microbiological interactions in Iowa soybean (Glycine max) rhizospheres. The effects of P fertilization on mycorrhizal development and rhizobial nodule occupancy were evaluated in a 2-year field study, and follow-up greenhouse experiments evaluated rhizobial strain competition. As expected, P fertilization significantly decreased mycorrhizal infection. Unexpectedly, there was also a significant decrease in nodule occupancy of Bradyrhizobium japonicum 123;Rhizosphere microbial populations were measured in field-grown soybeans six times over the season. Rhizobia-stimulating isolates were evaluated for effect on B. japonicum 123 nodule occupancy. Two organisms statistically enhanced nodulation, but the results could not be reproduced in nonsterile soil;A preliminary study investigated fluorescent pseudomonad populations and B. japonicum serogroup 135 dominance in a calcareous and noncalcareous soil. Sterilization of the calcareous soil increased recovery of B. japonicum 123 when equal numbers of 123 and 135 were added.

To a store in San Diego's Little Italy, Vincent DePhilippis (1903 - 1957) and Madeleine Manfredi (1904 -1993) brought their version of the American Dream.
Vincent was born in New York and raised in Naples, Italy. Madeleine was born and raised in Nimes, France. They both came to America for a better life where they met and fell in love in 1922 and later married in 1925. Cooking for friends and family together was a passion they shared, everywhere from the Bronx, New York to West Chester, Pennsylvania. Always in the food business, Vincent was a pasta maker, chef and entrepreneur. In 1948, they finally settled in San Diego, California and opened Cash & Carry Italian Foods, a labor of love. Their strong work ethic, values, and generosity helped shape the budding Italian-American community. With the help of seven children and Madeleine's infectious laugh, the small business grew to Filippi's Pizza Grotto, the success story we all know today. Their children Roberto, Gina, Mary, Vincent, Alfred, Richard and William followed in their parents footsteps and grew the family business. Today the tradition continues with their grand and great grandchildren.
this day, November 1, 2011, we honor our Father and Mother, Grandpa and Grandma. This is a story of love, hard work, and strong family life, two traditions carried across and ocean and contiued today.

As a 40 year veteran of the remodeling industry, people always ask me for advice on how to make their homes as maintenance-free as possible without losing any points in the design department.
It now looks great. Vinyl siding has come a long way with manufacturers creating a library of products that are more visually pleasing than when the cladding first hit the market. Believe it or not, you can now find vinyl siding that comes in a variety of profiles such as fish scale, shake or scallop shapes – plus there are styles to mimic the look and texture of natural building materials such as wood.
It's incredibly strong. Seasons here in Central Connecticut can be brutal, with summer sun and winter snow and ice taking their toll on our homes. Vinyl siding is made to withstand winds of up to 110 mph and it won't fade or deteriorate as the seasons change. Most products come with a prorated warranty of up to 50 years for peace of mind, so you know your siding will stand up to the test of time.
It's easy to maintain. Imagine a lifetime free of painting, staining and caulking the outside of your home. One of my favorite things about vinyl is that it doesn't need much maintenance, other than a soapy sponge bath and garden hose shower once in awhile. Plus, unlike wood, you never have to worry about splitting, rotting, or termite and insect damage.
It will reduce your energy bills. Insulated siding is energy efficient and works like a blanket over your walls and wall studs. More than 75% of homes I work on are under-insulated, which means that cool air is getting out in the summer and heat is escaping in the winter. By installing vinyl siding, you'll be able to keep the air in your home regulated at a more comfortable temperature without running to the thermostat.
It pays for itself. With a 50-year warranty, no cost maintenance and the savings you'll reap from your energy bill, installing vinyl siding is an investment worth thinking about. Plus, vinyl consistently ranks as one of the highest returns on investment for remodeling projects.
If you've ever thought about giving your home a facelift, vinyl siding is an option you'll definitely want to consider. You'll be blown away by the variety of options to choose from, and you can say goodbye to many of the hassles that come with outdoor home maintenance.
It looks great. When vinyl first starting getting popular, some people shied away from it because it looked a bit, well, plain and ugly. But vinyl siding has come a long way in the past few years, with manufacturers listening to the call to create a product that's more visually pleasing. Believe it or not, you can now find vinyl siding that comes in a variety of profiles such as fish scale, shake or scallop shapes – plus there are styles to mimic the look and texture of natural building materials such as wood.

OSHA publishes guide to restroom access for transgender workers
OSHA Trade Release
Contact: Office of Communications
WASHINGTON – The Occupational Safety and Health Administration today published a Guide to Restroom Access for Transgender Workers*. The publication provides guidance to employers on best practices regarding restroom access for transgender workers. The guide was developed at the request of the National Center for Transgender Equality, an OSHA Alliance partner that works collaboratively with the agency to develop products and materials to protect the safety and health of transgender workers.
OSHA's Sanitation standard requires that all employers under its jurisdiction provide employees with sanitary and available toilet facilities, so that employees will not suffer the adverse health effects that can result if toilets are not available when employees need them.
"The core principle is that all employees, including transgender employees, should have access to restrooms that correspond to their gender identity," said Assistant Secretary of Labor for Occupational Safety and Health Dr. David Michaels. "OSHA's goal is to assure that employers provide a safe and healthful working environment for all employees."
Many companies have implemented written policies to ensure that all employees–including transgender employees–have prompt access to appropriate sanitary facilities. The core belief underlying these policies is that all employees should be permitted to use the facilities that correspond with their gender identify. For example, a person who identifies as a man should be permitted to use men's restrooms, and a person who identifies as a woman should be permitted to use women's restrooms.
The publication includes a description of best practices and also makes employers aware of federal, state and local laws that reaffirm the core principle of providing employees with access to restroom facilities based on gender identification.
Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Geneva Conference (1954)
The Geneva Conference (April 26 - July 21, 1954) was a conference between many countries that agreed to restore peace in Indochina and Korea. It produced a set of treaties known at the Geneva Accords.
2 The Geneva Teatime
3 Post declaration events
See main article: History of Vietnam.
During the First Indochina War, the French had sought to re-establish colonial rule in Indochina, but despite America aid, they were defeated in 1954 by forces under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh in the Viet Minh, notably in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu.
The Geneva Teatime
On 21 July, the Conference produced a declaration which supported the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Indochina which gained independence, the cessation of hostilities and foreign involvement (or troops) in internal affairs. Vietnam was partitioned into northern and southern zones pending unification on the basis of internationally supervised free elections to be held in June 1955 (Article 3).
An International Control Commission was set up to to oversee the implementation of the Geneva Accords, but it was basically powerless to ensure compliance.
The agreement was between Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of Viet-Nam, France, Laos, the People's Republic of China, the State of Viet-Nam, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. However, only France and Ho Chi Minh's DRV signed the document. The former wanted to re-establish her colonial influence while the latter was buying time to reinforce its position in the North .
Post declaration events
The partition forced about two million North Vietnamese to migrate to the south as the communist north began impose severe rules to implement radical land reforms. The partition also forced many South Vietnamese to migrate north as the capitalist south began to persecute and kill opponents of the regime.
Backed by the United States, the southern government headed by Ngo Dinh Diem refused to open consultation with the North Vietnamese concerning general elections, which were never honored.
The result was the Second Indochina War which is also known as the Vietnam War

He's not a bad guy. He's just a little conflicted.
Above: a beautiful French language Belgian poster for the suspense/horror film Dr. Jekyll et Mr. Hyde, aka Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, with Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, and Lana Turner. We love this poster as much as we love the Finnish and West German ones. The art here depicts quite effectively Jekyll's inner battle, with his face half in light and half in shadow. The movie opened in the U.S. in 1941, was delayed from showing in Europe for years due to World War II, but we think it finally premiered in Belgium during the autumn of 1946, a range we extrapolated from the film's premiere in France today the same year.

Q: In cryptography, a Caesar cipher Ruby In cryptography, there is a Caesar cipher. I am trying to build one in Ruby, but I don't know how to use capital letters in my range ('a'..'z').to_a.join. How do I use capital letters?
class Caesar

def initialize(shift)
  alphabet = ('a'..'z').to_a.join

  i = shift % alphabet.size

  @decrypt = alphabet
  @encrypt = alphabet[i..-1] + alphabet[0...i]
end

def encrypt(string)
  string.tr(@decrypt, @encrypt)
end

def decrypt(string)
  string.tr(@encrypt, @decrypt)
end
end

cipher_1 = Caesar.new(1)
s = 'A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!'
puts s
s_encoded = cipher_1.encrypt(s)
puts s_encoded
pudaats = cipher_1.decrypt(s_encoded)
puts pudaats

OUTput

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!
A nbo, b qmbo, b dbobm: Pbobnb!
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!

But i need Out Put

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!
B nbo, b qmbo, b dbobm: Qbobnb!
A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!

A: The issue here lies within what you've defined as the alphabet.
a..z # ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "v", "w", "x", "y", "z"]

Notice here that there's no capital letters. The only letters that are being transposed are the lowercase ones. Therefore you will need to change your range to include uppercase characters as well:
alphabet = (("A".."Z").to_a + ("a".."z").to_a).join

Then you will get the correct result.

A:    LOWER_CASE = ('a'.ord .. 'z'.ord)
    UPPER_CASE = ('A'.ord .. 'Z'.ord)

  def shift(c, by)
        byte = c.ord
        if LOWER_CASE.include?(byte) then
            ((((byte - LOWER_CASE.min) + by) % 26) + LOWER_CASE.min).chr
        elsif UPPER_CASE.include?(byte) then
            ((((byte - UPPER_CASE.min) + by) % 26) + UPPER_CASE.min).chr
        else
            c
        end

See Me by Nicholas Sparks || Book Review
April 11, 2017 December 31, 2019 by Jenna @ Bookmark Your Thoughts
"That's why they say 'falling in love' and not something like 'floating toward love.' Falling is scary."
In his nineteenth published novel, Nicholas Sparks' See Me draws upon the complexity of love and the turmoil that comes when the past emerges with the present. A book flourishing with passion and suspense, See Me will leave readers with a desire to read more of his works. Will Colin be able to maintain control over his violent outbursts? Can Maria find a way to finally put the past to rest?
Title: See Me
Author: Nicholas Sparks
Genre / Themes: Contemporary | Realistic Fiction | Romance | Suspense
Point of View: Alternating Third Person Limited
Publication Date: 2016 (Reprint); 2015 (Original)
See me just as I see you…
Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he's determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.
Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Maria has a traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown and left her questioning so much of what she once believed.
A chance encounter on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like…until menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface.
As a series of threatening incidents wreaks chaos in Maria's life, Maria and Colin will be tested in increasingly terrifying ways. Will demons from their past destroy the tenuous relationship they've begun to build, or will their love protect them, even in the darkest hour?
Rich in emotion and fueled with suspense, SEE ME reminds us that love is sometimes forged in the crises that threaten to shatter us…and that those who see us for who we truly are may not always be the ones easiest to recognize.
Let me start with stating that I don't typically read romance novels. I tried reading a romance novel in high school and fell asleep every couple pages I read, so I'm pretty sure I've been biased this whole time and have been too stubborn to try again.
However, I'm absolutely ecstatic that I decided to try a romance novel again! Sparks' See Me is a lovely piece of literature, bringing to life an unlikely romance between two lost and troubled souls, making you feel rejuvenated and vibrant as you follow the along their romantic tale. Though the tale is about Colin and Maria, I felt as though I was a part of their story. Sparks writes so descriptively that readers will forget that they're reading a novel rather than living the tale themselves. Its books like this that remind me why I'm a bookworm.
As I just mentioned, Spark's writing style is so descriptive it paints an image before you. There wasn't one moment where I felt Sparks dropped the ball on providing a pretty portrait of his story. I'm a visual person, which is probably why I really enjoyed this novel. The language is written that you can read it quickly, but I would still argue that it's more of a leisure read. Sparks provides so much enriching detail to the story, I found I needed some breaks from the book (though I still read it in a day)…kind of similar to that feeling when you watch too much TV.
Similar to the language, I found the story rather descriptive as well. Maria and Colin almost felt like long lost friends by the end of the novel. Their backstory, interests, favourite things, strengths, weaknesses…you learn most of this before the middle of the story. Speaking of Maria and Colin, the points of view flip between each character each chapter. You begin with Colin's point of view in chapter one, learning a little about his destructive behaviour and where life has taken him at the present. In chapter two, we're introduced to Maria, who works in law and is the perfect example of a family-oriented individual. After this, the story continues by switching between the two points of view. I'm not usually a fan of more than one point of view; however, it almost felt necessary to do so for this story. It refreshes the story, being able to know what both are thinking. It's also really amusing! Maria will be walking with Colin wanting to know what he thinks of what she says – then by the next chapter we get to read Colin's thoughts. Then vice versa. Brilliant!
The progression is linear, which I enjoy. I'm not an advocate of stories that get sidetracked or veer in a gazillion ways (unless it's children's novels). It makes it really hard to keep everything together…I don't feel like drawing road-maps simply to understand a plot. Sparks keeps the story on a fairly straight track, even with the two points of views going on.
See Me is full of vibrant characters, bringing to life a great amount of personalities. Beyond Maria and Colin, I found I was able to have a good understanding of other characters' connections to the story. Not only that, but Sparks gives you some snippets into their lives as well without steering too far away from Maria and Colin. Sparks does such a wonderful job at creating an abundance of enriching characters that I would seriously consider reading novels about them again if he were to continue their stories. If you're a character-oriented reader, I would simply pick this book up for that alone.
One of the coolest parts of See Me is that it's a romantic thriller…by Nicholas Sparks…kind of amazing. I know he has written others, such as Safe Haven, so it's not the only one in his repertoire. Romantic thrillers alone are more common than I thought. But the way Sparks wrote this is just phenomenal. The first part of the book (other than the prologue) focuses primarily on introducing the characters and developing the relationship between Colin and Maria. Once halfway through the book, Sparks starts to introduce thriller aspects, creating an intense and anxious atmosphere for the reader. For readers who get nervous to read thriller novels, this is suspenseful but not overly frightening. This is coming from the girl who couldn't finish Paula Hawkins' The Girl on the Train. See Me is a good blend of both the cutesy and touchy-feely romance, with an aura of intimidating and nerve-wrecking thriller scenes.
Now, you're probably wondering why I gave this a three star. I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this…three stars is not bad! Three stars is actually pretty phenomenal in my opinion. In my opinion, three stars are books I would still recommend to people and tell them it's worth the read!
However…there are some things I would like to address…
The story was wonderful, descriptive, and fairly simple to follow…but it was rather predictable. I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this in an older review before, but I'm rather terrible at predicting stories and I'm a completely oblivious individual (keeps my life entertaining). Even with these personality traits, I was able to piece together what was happening to Maria fairly early on, even before the frightening thriller parts began to appear more frequently in the story. I also found the bond between Maria and Colin grew close unrealistically fast. With Colin's baggage and Maria's personal issues, it just seemed a little too ridiculous how close they became so early in the book. If you don't mind this though, then you'll probably give this a higher rating than myself.
If you are a lover of romantic thrillers, with a radiant cast of characters and an enriching story, you most definitely should pick up your own copy of Nicholas Sparks' See Me.

Martin Jarvis OAM (born 17 September 1951, Ebbw Vale, Wales) is an Australian violinist and viola player, founder of the Darwin Symphony Orchestra, and professor and lecturer of music at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Northern Territory.

Personal and professional life

He won a scholarship to the Welsh College of Music, Cardiff, where he studied violin under Garfield Phillips, concertmaster of the BBC Welsh Orchestra. He studied 197175 at the Royal Academy of Music, London, under Clarence Myerscough for violin and Winifred Copperwheat for viola.

Jarvis founded the Darwin Symphony Orchestra, which gave its first concert in 1989 - he ended his term as its artistic director at the end of 2009. Jarvis is professor and lecturer of music at Charles Darwin University (CDU) where he teaches viola, violin, and conducting, and is director of the CDU Confucius Institute.

Awards
Jarvis was a recipient of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 2007 Australia Day Honours.

Research into Anna Magdalena Bach
During his studies at the Royal Academy of Music, his viola teacher Winifred Copperwheat made him aware of problems with the published editions of the six suites for unaccompanied cello commonly attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. After research of his own, Jarvis has controversially postulated, using handwriting analysis heuristics, that the suites were composed by Bach's wife Anna Magdalena. Other academics such as Stephen Rose have responded that, while Anna Magdalena may have contributed to the labours on his manuscripts, "there is not enough evidence to show that she single-handedly composed the Cello Suites."

Jarvis was awarded a PhD from Charles Darwin University based on his research, and presented his findings at an October 2008 meeting of the International Symposium on the Forensic Sciences in Melbourne. Regarding the generally-accepted portrayal of Anna Magdalena Bach's role in music history and his own differing views, Jarvis himself has acknowledged, "My conclusions may not be wholly accurate, but the way in which tradition has put Anna Magdalena into this pathetic role [as merely the copyist] ... is rubbish." Jarvis published the book Written by Mrs Bach in 2011; it was made into a documentary film in 2014.

As a successful business owner, you'll know that finding opportunities to cut costs is an essential part of running a profitable company. Meaningful savings can be made just by switching electricity plans, but it pays to know a bit more about business electricity, how your company uses it and how it can save it before beginning the process.
To arm you with all the information you need to secure substantial savings, we've put together the answers to a range of business electricity questions.
Why switch business electricity supplier?
You may have been happy with your business's electricity contract when you first signed it, but if you haven't renegotiated it for a few years, it's probably no longer competitive.
When your contract approaches expiry, you'll get a renewal offer from your supplier. Understandably, many time-poor business managers accept this. Unfortunately, renewal agreements are rarely the best deals on the market.
If you don't sign a renewal offer or move to a new deal when your contract expires, your supplier will transfer you to a higher priced deemed-rate or rolling contract. By switching to a fixed or variable-rate tariff, you'll cut your bills considerably. And by changing supplier, you might get an even better deal.
How much should your business electricity rates be?
The two main elements in your electricity bills are the unit cost and the standing charge. The unit cost is the price you pay for each kWh of electricity that your business uses. The standing charge is a daily amount that covers national grid maintenance and electricity transportation.
Please note: These figures are based on industry averages and are only intended as a guide. Many factors impact the amount you pay for your business electricity, including consumption habits and location.
A half hourly electric meter sends updated readings to the supplier every half hour. Since April 2017 it's been mandatory for businesses with a maximum demand of 100kW or greater in any half hour period to use one. Businesses with a demand of 70kW or more can also opt to have a half hourly electric meter installed.
Half hour metering allows for extremely accurate and up-to-date bills without the bother of manually taking and submitting readings. These highly detailed readings make it easy to identify periods of high usage.
How can you get the best business electricity rates?
To get the best possible business electricity rates, run a quote comparison to see what's on offer in the marketplace and then switch to the most competitive deal. For a full picture, compare quotes from at least 10 different suppliers. Be prepared to negotiate and ask a range of business electricity questions to understand the details of each deal.
Why use a business electricity broker?
Finding the right business electricity deal takes time, effort and knowledge. This is where a business electricity broker can help.
Business energy brokers are specialised intermediaries who work with both energy consumers and suppliers. A good broker will have both large and small suppliers on their books from which they'll negotiate a selection of deals that best suit your business's needs. They'll use their expertise to answer a whole range of business electricity questions and advise on which tariff looks like the right fit.
Are there any other ways to lower your business electricity bills?
Before you can switch, you'll have to wait for your renewal window to come up. In the meantime, conduct an audit of your business's electricity usage to see where it's being used and wasted. Smaller businesses can use an energy saving power meter to do this. Avoid leaving equipment on standby for long periods by using a PC automatic standby shutdown extension lead to recognise idle computers and automatically shut off power. Using energy efficient bulbs and ensuring fittings are free of dust will reduce wastage through lighting.
You'll see an improvement in your bills if you employ these measures, but it's nothing in comparison to the amount you could save by switching electricity plans or suppliers.
With a little help from Make It Cheaper, you can concentrate on running your business without overpaying on electricity. We'll find, negotiate and compare the best business energy deals for your company's unique needs. Our commercial energy experts have the answers to a whole range of business electricity questions and once you're happy with the details, we'll handle all the paperwork involved in making the switch. To help you stay competitive, we'll even get back in touch when your new contract comes close to expiry.
To start saving on your business electricity bills, call Make It Cheaper today on 0800 970 0077. Or, if you'd prefer, leave your details in the form at the top of the page and we'll call you back.

You are getting two long posts today because yesterday, I traveled to Topeka to receive my Mid-Career Artists Fellowship (Fine Art) from the Kansas Arts Commission. They held a wonderful reception for the recipients and I want to tell you about some of the interesting people who I talked to. There were many others and I hope that I don't hurt their feelings by not including them, but I have to stop the list somewhere before everyone falls asleep, like in a college class right after lunch.
- One of my State Senators, Les Donovan, was there with his wife, Cissy, to hand me my award. I was honored that they took the time to be there for me, as I was the only fellowship winner from the Wichita area. I was so impressed by their graciousness and intelligence.
- Pauline Verbeek-Cowart, who received the Masters Fellowship in Fine Craft, is a tremendously talented weaver who teaches at the Kansas City Art Institute. Many people know her from the Surface Design Association. Talking to her came at a good time for me, because of a question I had regarding SDA and the fiber art exhibits associated with their biennial conference. She was the perfect person to ask and I had an opportunity to get to know her at the same time. That was almost worth the trip all by itself.
- Melissa Gregory, who works in the office of Governor Kathleen Sebelius. I have a quilt hanging on the wall in the governor's office right now and Melissa knew exactly which one it was. Coincidentally, she "long distance" commutes from Wichita and her Wichita house is one that my husband and I had looked at when we were buying a home almost 20 years ago. We distinctly remember that house and have even talked about it a few times since.
- Barbara Nelson, who co-owns the Strecker-Nelson Gallery in Manhattan (Kansas), probably the most respected contemporary art gallery in the state. Her husband and gallery co-owner, Jay, was on the selection panel for the awards. Barbara and I first met in 2001, when she was kind enough to host a meeting of Kansas Art Quilters. I was president of KAQ at the time. I'd love to get to know Barbara better, as I remember her gallery/home as being jaw-droppingly amazing, which says a lot about the insides of a person.
- John Divine, a commissioner on the KAC board. He chaired the selection panel for the visual arts awards this year, which is the first time I'd seen him in about 25 years. We used to work for the same branch office for IBM, but he was based in a city 90 minutes drive from me and I only saw him occasionally during that time. In fact, I was surprised he remembered me at all, but I guess Jill Rumoshosky isn't a name you hear every day.
- Roger Shimomura, who received the Masters Fellowship in Fine Art, is a world renowned painter. In 2000, when I received a Mini-Fellowship from the KAC, I attended the selection meeting and one of the panel members made a comment that changed the course of my art tremendously. It took me years to figure out what that comment meant, but I eventually did. When I told Roger about this, he did not recall whether he had served on that panel because he's served on so many over the years, but thought the comment was something he would be likely to say. Whether he has any memory of that moment in time, I do remember it and that's what counts. You never know the impact that your life has on other people, do you?

Super Bowl Opening Night 2019: New England Patriots' Rob Gronkowski wants 'revenge' on Jets for mascot injury

By Ryan Dunleavy | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
ATLANTA -- As if the Jets needed another reason to fear Rob Gronkowski.
The Patriots' future Hall of Fame tight end now carries a mascot-sized grudge against one of the AFC East rivals he has beat up throughout his career.
Jets rising star Jamal Adams used a running start to jump-tackle New England's mascot at the Pro Bowl, and the person inside the Pat Patriot costume is dealing with jaw, neck and back soreness, according to NFL Network.
"I saw that," Gronkowski said of the viral video. "That wasn't very nice."
Does Osi Umenyiora think Giants still can win Super Bowl with Eli Manning?
Former Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora doesn't think that the Giants should move on from Eli Manning this offseason.
There were reports denied by the Patriots earlier in the week that the mascot was hospitalized after the Adams hit.
Adams actually premeditated his hit, telling cameras he was looking for the mascot. It sounded like it was in good fun, but, as pranks sometimes do, went too far.
"We're going to have to figure out a way to get the revenge," Gronkowski said on the podium for Super Bowl Opening Night. "That was not nice what he did. I heard the guy got seriously hurt."
It might have been in jest. It might not. You can never quite tell with Gronkowski, especially in a herd of 2,000 credentialed media.
Gronkowski has 65 catches for 818 yards and nine touchdowns in 15 career games against the Jets.
"My intention was never to hurt him," Adams, who was named Defensive MVP of the Pro Bowl, told ESPN.
"It was all about just a joke, but I definitely want to check on him and make sure everything is good. At the end of the day, we were out here just having fun, and it wasn't nothing intentionally to try to hurt the guy."
Retirement always is an option for Gronkowski, but if the 29-year-old party animal returns to his day job in 2019 then his inevitable collisions with the Jets third-year safety will be worth noting.
"He's a competitor," Gronkowski said. "Jamal Adams is a competitor I can tell you that."
Told Pat Patriots has some toughness, too, Gronkowski replied, "Yes. For sure."

Castles and cathedrals in Palermo and surroundings
The village of Terrasini overlooks the sea, and its oldest part is the fishermen village. Today between the streets of the village we can admire the cathedral dedicated to the patron saint the Virgin of Graces, the Palazzo d'Aumale which includes the civic museum and the Palazzo Cataldi which houses the town library.
Terrasini Cathedral
The Castle of Carini or Castle of the Baroness, dates back to the eleventh century and was built by the Normans on a previous Arab structure. This beautiful castle that dominates the village was the protagonist of the killing of Carini Baroness by her father. According to a legend on the anniversary of the murder, on the walls of the room of the woman the imprint of her bloody hand shows up.
The Castle of Castellammare, has Arab origin but was modified several times by the Normans and then by the Swabian who built the walls and added the towers. Stretching out into the sea it was used as a lookout for the raids, and then transformed into a noble residence. Today the castle rooms are home to the Museum "The Mediterranean Memory" divided into four sections: the water and the mill museum, the Museum of production activities, the Archaeological Museum and the Museum of Maritime activities.
The Cathedral of Palermo, dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary of the Assumption, includes the chapel of Santa Rosalia, the patron saint of the town. Its structure testifies an Arabic, Norman and then Spanish influence in the battlements, in the towers and columns.
Cathedral of Palermo photo Giovanni dall'Orto
The Norman Palace or Royal Palace now is the seat of the region of Sicily. Built by the Normans, who extended an existing Arab palace, actually includes several buildings. The remaining norman towers are the Gioaria and the Pisana, inside the Pisana we find the oldest room of the palace, the King Ruggero room.
Inside the palace there is the Palatine Chapel dedicated to St. Peter. It consists of three naves separated by granite columns. The dome is decorated with rich Byzantine mosaics of extraordinary beauty, while the wooden ceiling includes carvings and paintings in Arabic style. The crypt of the chapel houses the Treasure with numerous silver liturgical objects, parchment tabular, and vestments.
The church of St. John of the Hermits is a national monument and is a beautiful fusion of Arab and Christian architecture. The red domes on the towers in fact are similar to a mosque, as well as the columns of the cloister.
Martorana Church Palermo
The Martorana Church or Santa Maria of the Admiral is a Byzantine church and is part of the Italo-Albanian Church, in fact it follows the Byzantine rite. It's inserted in the list of UNESCO World Heritage assets, for the architectural styles that make it unique in the world.
In Segesta you can visit the greek-Roman temple also called the Great Temple. It dates back to the fifth century B.C. and has 36 well preserved columns, though it is in Greek architecture, many special elements are still under investigation.

Why the Pittsburgh Steelers need to lighten the load placed on Le'Veon Bell
Le'Veon Bell is the man. There is no question about that. Let me tell you why I believe a running back by committee is a good idea for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
By Nathaniel.Bodnar@NateBodnar Oct 31, 2016, 5:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Why the Pittsburgh Steelers need to lighten the load placed on Le'Veon Bell
Yes, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell is the man, and has carried this team to victory many times in the past, but let me explain why having a running back by committee is helping NFL teams succeed and stay healthy in the long run.
Whether it is lining Le'Veon Bell up as a slot receiver, or having DeAngelo Williams (when healthy again) run the football, these two excellent running backs need to get on the field and share carries. This is critical if the team wants to keep both backs healthy for the duration of the season.
Last season, backup running back DeAngelo Williams earned a total of 907 rushing yards. This was because star running back Le'Veon Bell injured his knee against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6.
Bell was suspended for the first two games of the 2016 season due to violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, and during these two games Williams rushed for 204 yards and earned three touchdowns. After Bell returned from his suspension, Williams earned a total of 35 yards through 5 games while Bell earned 511 yards.
This season is no different. Yes, Williams has been injured these last few weeks, but let's talk about the game where he was 100-percent healthy.
Against the Kansas City Chiefs, Bell's 2016 NFL debut, the former second-round all-pro running back earned a total of 144 yards on 18 carries along with 5 receptions for 34 yards. He is Le'Veon Bell after all, and is the man when it comes to the Steelers backfield.
BUT... you also (at the time) had a healthy backup in DeAngelo Williams. In this game, Williams carried the football 4 times for 7 yards and earned a touchdown. He also had a reception for 2 yards. Yes, quite terrible but just getting the football in the hands of both of these athletes will balance out the workload.
As you can see, Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley did not utilize both running backs with a shared carries mentality. It was all Bell for the five games while Williams sat the bench last season, and this continues to be the case in 2016.
In order to keep both running backs healthy, especially Bell, who has been hurt a few times in the past, it is critical for Haley to share the carries with both running backs. It's not like Williams is a terrible football player. He has rushed for a total of 258 yards and earned two touchdowns this year when Bell faced yet another suspension; this time for three games.
ESPN ranked all 32 NFL running back duos in a recent article. Le'Veon Bell and DeAngelo Williams are listed at number two falling right behind the Atlanta Falcons and their incredible duo with Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman. Talk about two athletic running backs that DO get shared carries. It IS a running back by committee and the team has been successful so far with this mentality.
When the Falcons faced the New Orleans Saints in Week 3, Coleman and Freeman combined for a total of 194 rushing yards and four total touchdowns. Coleman earned 42 rushing yards, 47 receiving yards and earned three touchdowns. Freeman earned 152 rushing yards, 55 receiving yards and earned one touchdown (receiving).
Want to know the real reason why Bell and Williams are listed at number two on this list? Well it's quite simple: Freeman and Coleman actually are on the field at the same time or share carries. Either way they both are earning touchdowns and gaining yards.
Last season's horrific 5-game span where Williams earned a total of 35 rushing yards to Bell's 511 is just embarrassing. Offensive coordinator Todd Haley NEEDS to find a way to get both running backs involved one way or another. It is not only critical to the health of both Bell and Williams, it will make the NFL very scared of the potential matchups.
Just imagine if you're a linebacker or safety in the National Football League and you have to cover Le'Veon Bell in the slot while also making sure DeAngelo Williams doesn't run up the middle or do a simple screen pass. The options are endless and Todd Haley just needs to figure out ways to get them involved.
The best advice I have for Haley is to call up Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and ask him how he does it. Pittsburgh needs Bell to stay healthy for an entire year if they want this team to succeed long-term, and this is the proper method in doing so.

International Women's Day at Cal Lutheran 2019
By Kyla Buenaventura • Cal Lutheran Contributor • Lifestyle March 4, 2019 at 8:30pm
For the past three years, Her Campus at Cal Lutheran has put on a big celebration in the beginning of March- International Women's Day. International Women's Day first started in 1911 and was supposed by over a million people in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. The main focus for this year is gender equality. On the Cal Lutheran campus, we're aiming to have several clubs and organizations come and talk to students about women and provide resources and activities to continue educating outside the classroom. Here are some of the activities you'll see this Friday, March 8 on the Spine from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Our current president Francheska Cal from International Women's Day 2018
Like they have for the past IWD celebrations, iCLU Radio will be providing the music for that day and will also be handing out candy.
Together WE DREAM will provide supplies for students to write about women who have been their role model, they'll hang these up on a board to display to other students.
Center for Cultural Engagement and Inclusion (CCEI) will have cards for students to write to influential women in their lives.
LASO will have a game available for you to match a picture of a famous Latina with her description. You probably already know some of the famous Latinas today! Ellen Ochoa was the first Hispanic woman to go into space on April 8, 1993. She was aboard the Discovery shuttle for nine days and conducted research on the Earth's ozone layer. She was also the first Hispanic director and second female directory of the Johnson Space in Houston, Texas. Joan Baez is well-known for "her human rights advocacy, her breathtaking voice, and for her continual fight for the marginalized and oppressed". Dolores Huerta created the United Farm Workers in 1965 which is an organization that worked to improve working conditions for farm workers. Selena Quintanilla brought Mexican Tejano music to the world, she's one of the most influential Latin artists. Her career was unfortunately cut short when she was shot by the president of her fan club. She won a Grammy in 1993 and a gold record in 1994. Gina Rodriguez is a familiar name for most of us- she's the main star in the CW show 'Jane the Virgin' and she's going to be in the new movie 'Miss Bala' and she even won a Golden Globe for her performance in 'Jane the Virgin.'
Wellness Resources will be providing a "what birth control is right for you" activity! There are about 18 methods of birth control. The birth control implant is 99% effective and can last up to 5 years, it's also known as Nexplanon. The implant releases hormones in your body that prevent pregnancy. IUDs are also 99% effective and they can last from 3 to 12 years. IUD stands for Intrauterine Device, there are 5 different brands of IUDs. The birth control shot is 94% effective and you have to get it every 3 months.
PHIRA will be focusing on how the workplace has changed for women over the years. Students will be able to pick a question to receive a prize!
AMA will have a whiteboard for students to write the name of a strong woman they look up to in their life and/or what qualities they admire about them.

I'd Rather Believe in You je třinácté studiové album zpěvačky a herečky Cher, vydané v říjnu roku 1976 u Warner Bros. Records.

O albu
Po velkém komerčním propadu předchozí (do rockové hudby laděné) studiové desky Stars byla Cher směřována zpět k popovějším melodiím. Novém album produkovali Steve Barri a Michael Omartian.

Cher nahrávala album v době těhotenství se synem Elijah Blue Allman, jejím druhým dítětem. Na zadní obal desky mu napsala věnování: A zvláštní díky Elijahovi, že jsi počkal až do dne, kdy jsem dokončila své album Cher.

Album obsahuje celkem pět cover verzí: "I Know (You Don't Love Me)" původně nazpívala v roce 1961 Barbara George, "Flashback" Paul Anka v roce 1973, "It's a Cryin' Shame" Gayle McCormick v roce 1971, "Early Morning Strangers" Barry Manilow v roce 1974 a "Knock On Wood" Eddie Floyd v roce 1966.

Některá vydání mimo Severní Ameriku obsahují dvě bonusové skladby. První z nich je "Pirate" (jako stopa číslo jedna), která se o rok později objevila na následujícím studiovém albu Cherished a byla vydána jako pilotní singl. Druhým bonusem je duet s Harrym Nilssonem "A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Every day)", která v té době také vyšla jako singl, ale propadla.

Album se však v hudebních žebříčcích vůbec neumístilo, veřejnost o něj nejevilo zájem. I to i přes silné skladby a moderní zvuk. Steve Barri se nechal vyjádřit, že si za svou práci na albu dočkal od spousty lidí mnoho komplimentů, mnohem více, než za ostatní práci, kterou kdy vytvořil. S tímto albem prý chtěli Cher předvést jako opravdovou zpěvačku, s jiným stylem písní než ty, které dělala předtím. Je to nejméně prodávané studiové album Cher, v Americe si ho koupilo okolo 95 000 posluchačů, v Anglii jen kolem 8 000. Celosvětový prodej činí okolo 200 000. Michael Omartian, spoluproducent alba, to přičítá mizivé propagaci alba, související s Cher předchozím porodem.

Album nebylo nikdy vydané na kompaktním disku, žádné prodávající se CD s tímto titulem tedy není oficiální. Podle časopisu Billboard, Cher vlastní veškerá práva k tomuto albu a Warner Bros nemají žádná práva k reedici na CD.

Stejně jako s jinými (neúspěšnými) deskami Cher z 60. a 70. let, v posledních letech se stávají vyhledávaným artiklem nejen mezi skalními fanoušky.

Singly
Jediným vydaným singlem z alba je rockově laděná píseň "Long Distance Love Affair". Singl byl vydán na 7" desce s písní "Borrowed Time" na straně B. Cher singl propagovala dvěma vystoupeními ve své tehdejší televizní show. Stejně jako celá deska, i singl se vůbec neumístil a propadl. Původní plán vydat baladu "I'd Rather Believe In You" jako druhý singl se však po neúspěchu pilota i celého alba nikdy neuskutečnil. Producent alba Steve Barri se k tomu vyjádřil takto: "Náš plán byl začít s "Long Distance Love Affair" a dále pokračovat ve velkém stylu s baladou "I'd Rather Believe In You" - o které jsme všichni byli přesvědčení, že je úžasná a že posune Cher na další level. Ale to se nikdy nestalo. Je to škoda. Opravdu jsme byli přesvědčení, že tenhle plán bude trhák."
