Ronnie Brown Philadelphia Eagles Latest Recruit

Former Dolphins running back Ronnie Brown signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday.

Brown's main goal is to fulfill the team's need for a veteran ball carrier and back up the team's halfback LeSean McCoy.

A tough runner with smooth hands out of the backfield and excellent in blitz pick-up, Brown is tailor made for coach Andy Reid's offense and can be another impact weapon if he stays healthy.

He averaged 4.3 yards per carry in his six-year Miami career and caught 184 passes for 1,491 yards. Injuries earlier in his career forced him into a co-starring role for the past three seasons with Ricky Williams.

Brown, picked No. 2 overall by the Dolphins in 2005, trails only Larry Czonka and Williams in Miami franchise history for rushing yards with 4,815 yards.

In 2008, Brown spearheaded the Dolphins' wildcat reprisal and rushed for 916 yards and 10 touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 254 yards to make the Pro Bowl.

He became the fifth player with Pro Bowl experience to join the Eagles since the league year started last week as Reid makes his strongest offseason push yet to assemble a Super Bowl champion.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Blake Lively Breakup Rumor, True or Not?

After the Justin Bieber - Selena Gomez rumored break-up, another famous Hollywood couple is in the chopping block after a gossip about their break-up surfaced.

Rumor has it that Leonardo diCaprio and Blake Lively already bid each others goodbye.

But this news was indirectly denied by showbiz writer Ted Casablanca who responded to a fan who seek confirmation about this rumor.

"No official word on the status of their juicy relationship. But if they have gone their separate ways, that dirt you're hearing about Leo's mom having something to do with it may not be too far off. Total mama's boy. Just like Justin Timberlake. Good luck to the gal who tries to tie either dude down!" Ted said.

“The Beaver” – Jodie Foster's Acclaimed Film on Hope, Healing

Jodie Foster's performances in “The Accused” and “The Silence of the Lambs” earned her two Academy Awards® for Best Actress and a reputation as one of the most critically acclaimed actresses of her generation. Now, she directs a full-length film for the third time – Summit Entertainment's “The Beaver,” an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life. The critically acclaimed film will be shown exclusively at Ayala Mall Cinemas (Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3 and Trinoma) starting August 10.

In the film, Walter Black (Mel Gibson) was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can’t seem to get himself back on track…until a beaver hand puppet enters his life. Emerging from what had seemed like a terminal stupor, he begins speaking through the hand puppet, at first to himself, then to everyone else.

“I think there are many genuine examples in our culture over and over again where people will don a different personality, split themselves, in order to cope with an overwhelming situation,” Foster explains. “We see that in everyday life, that there are things you know you just can’t face, so you find a way to cope.”

Because of her deep connection to the material, Foster realized that she wanted to play the role of Meredith, Walter's wife. She was, however, unsure of Mel’s reaction. So she went in person to his house to break the news and see if he was comfortable with it. Gibson was delighted.

“It’s always great,” he says. “I worked with her once before and I really dug it. She’s always there if you need a friend. So I was happy to work closely with her again.”

“Meredith buys into Walter as the beaver because of how much she loves her younger son Henry and how worried she is about him,” shares Foster. “Henry’s been in a shell, socially withdrawn. When the beaver comes along he comes alive and begs his mother to allow the beaver to remain part of their lives. It’s plausible that a mother would do anything to see her child thrive.

“Porter, the teenage son is the only character who refuses to buy into the beaver, going so far as to tell his younger sibling the beaver isn’t real. Porter’s basically appalled by his father’s behavior as most 17 year-olds would be. He’s desperately afraid of becoming like his father.”

“Porter’s main goal is to avoid being like Walter and, in general, to avoid having any sort of personality for fear that he will be just like him after all,” says Anton Yelchin who plays the part. “In a way he’s trying to shut himself down. But of course he and his father are similar in ways that it kills Porter to acknowledge.”

Foster concludes, “It’s easy to think of `The Beaver' as a story about a guy who puts a puppet on his hand but it’s also equally a tale of a son who is so like his father, but wishes he wasn’t.”

Senator Migz Zubiri Explosive Senate Speech Set at 3pm Today

The Notebook - Favorite Part

"Would you just stay with me?”

“Stay with you? What for? Look at us, we’re already fighting.”

“Well that’s what we do. We fight. You tell me when I’m being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you’re being a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I’m not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a two-second rebound rate then you’re back doing the next pain in the ass thing.”

“So what?”

“So it’s not gonna be easy, it’s gonna be really hard, and we’re gonna have to work at this everyday but I wanna do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, you and me, everyday.”

always fight

Sometimes that's all you want...someone to finally fight for you. There is only so much that you can do and only so many times you can show someone or tell someone you love them before they have to show you.

I love the last line on this..."Always fight, until you can't anymore, and then be fought for." I can't think of a better way to say it.

Skyship Academy: The Music - Day Two

Time for Day Two of the Skyship Academy character music week! Yesterday I focused on one of the Academy's trainees. Now it's time to journey down to the surface and talk about who's working on the other side of the Pearl Wars:

CASSIUS STEVENSON

Who: fifteen-year-old training with the Unified Party to become a Pearlhound ** the favorite student of head honcho Madame, who considers him an adopted son ** after he comes in contact with Jesse Fisher, something inside him explodes... literally

Songs:

Spleen United - My Tribe
More than anything, the lyrics of this encompass the cold war between the two factions of the book -- Skyshippers and those living on the Surface. Whereas Jesse doesn't completely buy into it, Cassius's world is dominated by military operations, subterfuge and the constant threat of insurgencies from multiple enemies. As the book opens, he definitely has a cocky, us-against-them mentality, which leads him to actions he could very possibly regret later on. The loyalty to his "company" (in this case, his Madame and his fellow Pearlhounds) has been ingrained deeply.

My Tribe by popantipop

Carpark North - Burn It
The complicated relationship between Cassius and his mother figure, the ruthless Madame, forms the crux of his story line and the majority of his motivation throughout the story. Things reach a head as the action progresses, and this song perfectly illustrates his mental space when they do. Also, the title is appropriate, given the events of the third chapter (I'll let you see for yourself when you read the book, though!)

Jennifer Lopez en Vanity Fair | Confiesa por qué se separó de Marc

La celebridad Jennifer Lopez, una de las mujeres más exitosas de América Latina, se sinceró y habló en exclusiva para la revista internacional Vanity Fair.

"Para comprender que una persona no es buena para ti, o que una persona no te está tratando bien, o que él no está haciendo las cosas bien consigo mismo, si yo sigo con él, soy yo quien no está haciendo lo correcto conmigo misma, de modo que me quiero lo suficiente como para alejarme", comentó Jlo.

Batalla de Junín | 06 de agosto

Motivo:  Celebrar la victoria definitiva contra el dominio Español.
Antecedentes: A inicios de julio de 1821 ante el ingreso a Lima del Ejercito Libertador, El virrey La Serna, abandonó la capital, refugiándose en la sierra, precedido por el general  Canterac, con algo de 20 mil hombre.

Lucha Continental:  San Martín comprendió que requería la ayuda del Libertador Simón Bolívar, que se encontraba en Guayaquil.

Retos: Allí, ambos conferenciaron los días 26 y 27 de julio de 1822, pero Bolívar no aceptó la colaboración de San Martín para combatir juntos a los realistas. El general  argentino regresó entonces a Lima, instaló el congreso constituyente, renunció al cargo de protector del Perú y se alejó del país.

Bolívar en Lima:  Llegó en setiembre de 1823 y en febrero de 1824 le conceden la plenitud de los poderes, convirtiéndolo en Dictador del Perú.

Su misión: Se dedicó entonces  a organizar el ejercito necesario  para enfrentar a los realistas llegando a reunir unos 1o0 mil hombres bien preparados, con quienes se dirigió a la sierra por la ruta de Huamachuco y Pasco, encontrando a las fuerzas españolas en las pampas de Junín en los primeros días de agosto.


La batalla: Sucedió la tarde del 06 de agosto de 1824. El general Canterac atacó a la caballería patriota, tratando de impedir que Bolívar se organizara.

Respuesta Inmediata:
El Libtertador, que dirigía sus fuerzas desde un observatorio, en una elevación, ordenó a los Generales Miller y Necochea que rodearán a los realistas, pero la batalla, que se realizó  con armas blancas,  sin dispararse un solo tiro- iba resultando desfavorable   a los patriotas.

Recuperación:  
 Bolívar se retiró con los generales Sucre, La Mar,  Santa Cruz y Gamarra, para tratar de reorganizar sus fuerzas.

Sabia decisión:
Fue entonces que el mayor Andrés Razuri, que llevaba  órdenes al comandante Isidoro Suárez  para que retirara a los "Húsares del Perú", al ver que se hallaba  en una posición ventajosa, desobedeció la orden y dispuso- con la aprobación de Suárez- el ataque a los realistas por la retaguardia, haciéndolos huir precipitadamente  y consumar la victoria.

Agosto | Mes de Tacna

El Guardián Del Zoológico | TRAILER - POSTER - SINOPSIS

Título Original: Zookeeper
Director: Frank Coraci
Intérpretes: Kevin James, Rosario Dawson, Leslie Bibb
Año: 2011, Columbia/MGM
Género: Comedia
Contenidos Específicos:
Violencia: Bajo
Lenguaje vulgar: Medio
Clasificación MPAA*: PG (Se sugiere la guía de los padres. Parte del material puede no ser adecuado para los niños.)
*MPAA: The Motion Picture Association of America

El guardián de un zoológico, rechazado por la chica de sus sueños, hace lo indecible para reconquistarla, sin darse cuenta de que el amor verdadero ha estado frente a sus narices todo el tiempo.

Cuando Stephanie (Leslie Bibb) declina su propuesta de matrimonio, Griffin (Kevin James) se refugia en su trabajo como guardián del zoológico tratando infructuosamente de olvidarla. Stephanie reaparece con motivo de la boda del hermano de Griffin, ya que es una de las invitadas y esto reactiva el interés romántico de nuestro personaje, que tratará de reconquistarla con la ayuda de los animales del zoológico que, para sorpresa del guardián, pueden hablar.

Los primeros minutos después de que los animales empiezan a hablar son divertidos y la intención de la narrativa en general es positiva, pero los padres deben estar alerta ante algunas bromas en doble sentido y otras relacionadas con humor de sanitarios que degradan el tono del contenido, por otro lado predecible y bastante ligero.

Ford Recall Ford Pickup Trucks with Gas Tank Problem in the US

Ford recall more than 1 million pickup trucks sold in United States from 1997 to 2004.

The recall which was announced on Monday was due to the corrosion problems that can cause the vehicles to catch fire.

Vehicles involved in the recall are the 1997 - 2004 Ford F-150 models, 1997 - 1999 F-250 models and Lincoln Blackwood pickups 2002 and 2003 models.

Since these models were sold in a cold-weather states where road salt can cause straps metal straps holding up the tanks to rust after heavy use, it can potentially lead to fires if the tank drops and leaks.

"Regulators began investigating the problem back in September. The defect has been blamed for eight fires, three of which spread to the rest of the truck. One person was injured, suffering first- and second-degree burns." Ford Motor Co. spokesman Wes Sherwood related.

"Ford is committed to safety and responding quickly to vehicle concerns for our customers," Sherwood further said.

This is an update from previous POST.

At exactly 4:40 a.m. today, the one and only Superstar of Philippine movies Nora Aunor arrived with her friend and manager Suzette Ranillo at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) via Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight 103 from San Francisco.

Ate Guy was welcomed at the airport by her friend German Moreno, TV5 executives, Laguna Governor ER Ejercito - her leading man in the movie "El Presidente", members of the press and her ever loyal fans called GANAP (Grand Alliance of Nora Aunor Philippines).

During lunch, the 58-year-old Superstar met with the members of the press in a presscon organized by TV5 at the Boracay Ballroom of EDSA Shangri-la Hotel in Mandaluyong City where she is currently billeted.


Check her arrival photos and presscon video below:







Meanwhile, here is Nora Aunor's statement to the press during the presscon hosted by IC Mendoza:

Muli, maraming salamat sa lahat ng mga nandito ngayon, sa lahat ng press, at sa mga fans, lalung-lalo na.

Katulad ng sinabi ko sa inyo, ipinapangako ko po na yung salitang 'pagbabago ni Nora Aunor' ay makikita po ninyo ngayon.

Siguro po, magkakaroon kami ng konting problema, pero sakit lamang po ang makakapagpahinto sa akin, kung saka-sakali mang magkaroon ng aberya sa trabaho.

Pero hindi po mangyayari 'yon dahil ipinapangako ko, bago ako pumunta rito, kay Kuya Germs, na talagang hindi magkakaroon ng problema sa akin ang Channel 5.

Sapagkat, sabi ko nga po, sila lamang ang nagtiwala.

Yung iba naman, nagtitiwala din naman po sa akin. But ang talagang parang sumugal ay ang Channel 5. At ang nagpapirma ng exclusive contract sa akin.

At siyempre, ang nagpaumpisa po nito ay ang ating gobernador na si ER Ejercito, sa pagkuha po sa akin sa pelikulang El Presidente.

Kahit na nga po second choice ako, wala hong naging problema sa akin, at hindi po ako nagdalawang-isip para tanggapin po iyon.

Kung may mga interviews po sa ibang istasyon na gusto akong ma-interview, sasabihin ko na po sa inyo ngayon para 'wag pong ikakasama ng loob, magpaalam lang po.

Ang aking istasyon po ay Channel 5.

Manggagaling po sa kanila ang.... sa 5. Pasensiya na po.

Nagpapasalamat po ako kay Kuya Germs, sa sobrang sakripisyo sa akin.

Kay Suzette, na siya po ang nakipag-coordinate at sumundo po sa akin sa States.

At siyempre po, ang TV5 na nagtiwala po sa akin, na gawan ako ng mini-serye, at nagbigay ng kontrata po para makapagtrabaho po uli ako.

At sa lahat po ng dating nagmahal at hindi nagmahal nagpapasalamat ako.

Magmahalan na lang po tayo ngayon.

Maraming-maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat.

Hindi po ako nagbabago. Ako pa rin po si Nora Aunor. Minsan po'y nagluluka-lukahan, pero wala na po 'yon ngayon.

Marami pong salamat."

The press release states that:

Civil actions in the United States and Argentina name Daiana Santia, along with others, as being involved in stealing photographs, unfinished images and video from both parts of the yet to be released The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn which first appeared on the internet of March 31 of this year.”

David C. Friedman, Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Summit Entertainment has this to say about the issue:

While we very much appreciate the legions of committed fans of the franchise and encourage them to create community online, we cannot ignore that property was stolen. It is not fair to the majority of fans that want to see the final chapter of The Twilight Saga film franchise fully realized the filmmaker and dedicated cast and crew to have these images out and available on the internet.”
