Fawlty Towers without the Fawltys
John Cleese: "I remember at a party I met these chaps from Viacom, who said they were working on a new Fawlty Towers. My ears pricked up at the sound of cash registers and said, 'That's wonderful, are you going to change anything?'. They said, 'Well we have changed one thing, we've written Basil out'. And that's absolutely true, they took Basil and Sybil's lines and gave them all to Bea Arthur." The resulting effort was a 1983 ABC series called Amanda's By the Sea which could charitably be described as a fiasco. [more inside]

"Transforming the second chapter of Ellen Ripley's ongoing war with the Xenomorphs into an icecapade is the kind of loony idea that that can only possibly exist after someone has exploded fireworks inside a crowded bar to simulate RoboCop's iconic gas station explosion while the titular cyborg breaks into a musical interlude describing his existential crisis.

If you could change one thing about your job what would it be?
How different would your life be if you had no credit card debt?
What would you do with an extra $100 a week?
What would you do with an extra $600 a week?
What would you do with $20,000 in the bank?
If you won a vacation anywhere in the world where would you go?
How different would things be for you and your family if you could work from home and have more time to spend with them, more money and less stress?
I could easily come up with a list of 100 or more reasons why you should become a Norwex consultant but the only reasons that matter are yours. I can promise you that once you start exploring the possibilities you too could probably come up with enough to surprise yourself. Just one is all you need though and that is your #1 why. It doesn't really matter what it is but it does matter to know what it is. It will change too. Mine was because I knew I would not be able to stop talking about the products because they were sooooo amazing and exceptional. I knew telling people would not guarantee they would try it. I needed to be able to get it into their hands so they could use it as fast as possible while their interest and excitement was high. So I became a consultant. Five years later my why is different. It is a desire to reach as many people as possible and let them know there are other options than chemicals and that we can have safer safe havens.
Norwex has changed my life in so many positive ways! One of the biggest is allowing me to be a part of changing the lives of others. What a gift and a blessing! I would love to explore with you the many possibilities the Norwex business opportunity could bring to your life.
The last Sunday of every month I do a facebook information event. Learn more, ask questions, see what questions other people ask, all from the comfort of your home at 8 pm Pacific Time. Of course you do not have to wait until then to get more information. There is some here at my Norwex website and you can also call (phone number is at the top right corner at the website) or email me. Everyone, no matter what your abilities, circumstance, experience or personality, is capable of having a successful Norwex business!

Down the Searsport Road a Piece
We're settling in at our new "rent" in Searsport, an apartment about a half-mile off the nearest road, Routes 1 and 3. I used to live in Swanville a hundred or so years ago, while I was teaching in Thorndike. That's how I got to know the area. Belfast, about five miles away, has a nice system of parks within the city. Yesterday we stopped at one of them and watched a white cruise ship docked at the town dock. We know nothing about the "American Glory," except it made a peaceful background as we visited one of the city's parks.

Winning at Work--Perpetuated Myths
Myths. Beliefs. Conventional wisdom. Even our own eyes get in our way. Consider what happened to Galileo. In 1589, he gathered the world's most learned professors to the Leaning Tower of Pisa for a demonstration to disprove a 2,000 year old physics principle of Aristotle's: the heavier an object is, the faster it will fall to earth.

Martha Stevens-David Review: "The Doctor's Stories" by Dr. Charles T. Chase
Dr. Chase, through his well-written stories, cited many examples of how a caring doctor can help others in dire medical need and even when circumstances were not as expected, this well-educated caring man, stepped up and did what was expected of him and more. Dr. Chase can go into his twilight years in peace.

Big Problems with the Big Bang
Comparing 1959 four digit red shift data and the 2009 data clearly shows on the average galactic clusters were/are decelerating; This is decisive direct proof there is no dark energy, the universe could not have originated in a central eruption, and strongly supports the "New Universe Theory with the laws of Physics", (described in Ref 1, Ref 2, and Ref 3.. The author is a Retired engineering physicist whose book "Big Bang Problems" refutes the Big Bang theory. Each chapter in that book presents proof that the formation of the universe did not take place in the way currently supported by the status quo of astronomers and cosmologists. The following article is taken from his 7th argument.

Down the Same Old Road
Years later at a ministers' conference, another minister declared that I was a communist because I didn't like softball. He was half right. I didn't like softball. But I loved volleyball, which apparently didn't prevent me from being a communist. (Volleyball didn't require any skills, just jump up and down and holler and take an occasional swat at the ball as it went flying past my ball-avoiding head.) I may have -- actually not -- been a communist, but it was that preacher who said I was who a few years ago was caught "running around" (without a ball) with a deacon's wife. I don't know what happened to the wife, but the preacher ended up leaving the state -- and I hope the ministry.

Milt Gross Book Review: "House of Earth" by the late Woody Guthrie
Singer Woody Guthrie apparently wrote this book to promote building houses in Dust Bowl-era Texas from mud bricks, an improvement over the rickey wooden shacks most residents called home. Guthrie, who lived from 1912 to 1967, was an American folk song singer, whose best known song was the well-known "This Land Is Your Land." The back cover of the book states that Guthrie's "legacy" included over 3,000 songs with themes of history, politics, culture, spiritual, narrative and children's interests.

The Great Waterfall of God's Love
Consider the phrase, 'there's nothing you can do to make God.' This is true: no one can 'make God' do or be anything other than what God is. God loves us with an infinite love, because God IS love ... but nothing in heaven or earth or under the earth can constrain God to love us or not love us. His love is what theologians call a 'self-donation.' We don't seduce God's love by being either adorable or pathetic -- his love flows entirely from his nature and is utterly voluntary. God is "moved to compassion," not because we manipulate him with our pleas, but because God is compassion itself and his love flows without ceasing wherever it is received. My experience of God's love may fluctuate as I welcome it or rebuff it, but God himself cannot love us more or less. His love, by nature, is not dependent on our behaviour or jerked around by our emotional rollercoasters.

Martha Stevens-David Book Review: "Choosing to Live" by Jerry D. Campbell
"Choosing to Live" though small in pages, contains life changing information that all human beings should read because what Mr. Campbell experienced in the loss of his wife, can and will help prepare all those left behind in knowing what to do next. One never wishes to be "blindsided" by a sudden death as so many of us are. I was brought to tears upon reading the love-filled passages of a couple's love for one another the writer's agony in dealing with the loss of his beloved wife Veta.

Saluting a "Great Charter" of Liberty
"It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty," John Adams, our second president, wrote of July 4. "It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more." It's even more fitting that we do so this year, as we mark the 800th anniversary of another landmark document in the annals of liberty: England's Magna Carta, which preceded our Declaration by 561 years. In fact, the name, "Magna Carta," means "great charter" in Latin, and how appropriate that it be called this, considering its role in curbing the excesses of tyrannical monarchs. Both King Richard and his brother-successor, King John, were levying crushing levels of taxation on their subjects and seizing property virtually at whim.

The nature of the Mahmoud Abbas regime
Bassam Eid, the founder of the Jerusalem-based Palestinian Human Rights Monitoring Group, concludes that "the Palestinians need strong democratic institutions and an end to human rights violations.... [However,] Abbas runs a corrupt dictatorship, using international funds to consolidate his own administration, rather than to develop the Palestinian economy. In East Jerusalem, the PA is so mistrusted that most Palestinians would prefer to live under Israel rule...."

Why The Patriot Act is Tyranny and Rand Paul is a Hero
The fact is Rand Paul is a defender of American security unlike any other candidate currently running to lead this nation. He's one of a very few to openly stand for the Constitutional rights of all Americans to be secure in their homes and free of government snooping into their private business......All of this is what Senator Paul was objecting to. This massive growth of government and the obvious loss of liberty that comes with it is what he was trying to stop. Does it then come as a surprise that Senator Rand Paul has become public enemy #1 by establishment Republican hawks, big money Republican fund raisers, all big government proponents and their Patriot Act-dependent industries? As said in the landmark movie "Network," he has messed with the natural order of things."

Legacy of Father Edward Flanagan Boy's Town Omaha, Nebraska
On June 21st the world celebrates Father's Day, and yet, I have no memories to remember it as being any different to all the other days of the year. I have two children who will not be there, by choice, because they have been emotionally poisoned, but that is the story of life itself. I have no regrets for having lived as an honest hardworking father, who cared for his family more than himself.

Being a Jew Trumps Assimilation
The biggest mistake many of our rabbis and Jewish community leaders make is by insisting that Jewishness is the religious observance only. Being a Jew has always meant, for Jews and our enemies - the peoplehood, belonging to the tribe, ethnicity or nation - whichever term you feel comfortable with - combined with Judaism when it was possible! We also have the unique and advanced religion, deep seated spiritual tradition, common history and aspirations that bond us all, observant and secular Jews.

Embracing the Life Changing Power of Africa: My Travels with King Kong
Our group of 20 fellow travelers was divided into teams to handle the daily chores of cooking, cleaning, loading and unloading of gear, and setup of camp, which included the task of gathering firewood and making the fire for cooking. (So how do you find firewood in the middle of the Sahara Desert? You don't -- but you do find camel dung which makes a pretty good fire.) I was given the job of mechanic, being responsible for checking the fluid levels, tires, and general mechanical condition of our two vehicles, one of which was an old British Army bus named "King Kong". What began as a simple daily routine of checking oil and water levels became a nightmare of mechanical breakdowns. There were broken springs to replace, clogged fuel lines, flat tires to fix, and finally the big breakdown came when a valve dropped through the top of the piston, leaving us stranded in the middle of the Sahara 200 miles from the nearest town!

Kebekois Youth found guilty of killing Cuban-born girl
Such was the case of 18-year old unarmed Honduran immigrant Fredy Villanueva, who was shot in cold blood by a Montreal Urban Community Policewoman, and justice was pushed to the sidelines by the courts to protect the guilty, since they were Kebekois. These people and sycophants in Kebekois society have made the halls of justice a laughing stock by having the gall to accuse South Africans of apartheid crimes.

Iran and ISIS. High Moral Ground or Bloody Trenches?
If we are to win the battles against nuclear proliferation and against Islamic terrorism we must change the diplomatic narrative. We must take the conversation to where it can change the course of history without adding to the violence. To do this, we must stake out the highest possible moral ground, and not be naive about how strong we must be or how long it may take. Our strategy to deal with the dangers of ISIS and Iran should be one strategy, and contrary to our President's claim, it should not depend on Iraq or any other nation. Five simple principles should guide us.

Milt Gross Book Review: "Hound-dog Man, a novel", by Fred Gipson
This fiction novel covers a raccoon hunt by Blackie Scantling and two boys, one of whom, Cotton Kinney, is the hero of the story. It also covers home life in the Texas outback, the threats and defeat of a bad guy, a baby being born, and other typical incidents of early-twentieth-centure rural Texas. Gipson wrote it in first person...Years ago when I was teaching, I read Gipson's books, and I highly recommend this one if your sense of adventure has remained youthful.

What's my motivation here? by Patrick J. Fornari
Will we stand or fall? Honor, patriotism, honesty, integrity and responsibility are just a few of the disciplines no longer taught at our institutions of higher learning. Is it any wonder why our military almost unilaterally has taken on the responsibility of defending our country? Values are still taught in military organizations, but not in the majority of our colleges and universities....As I walk through this world I often encounter electronically obsessed Americans that look up at me briefly from their electronic device in order to avoid the possibility of me knocking them over. I admittedly hold little regard for their safespace if they refuse to pay attention to their surroundings. Their deer in the headlight facial expressions sometimes make me feel as if they are about to utter aloud what a Stanislavski trained actor might say as they look up from their screenplay or movie script.

Let's Put the "Ex" in "Ex-Im"
"The winners should prevail by playing the game better than others, not by forcing taxpayers to give them an advantage," Garett Churchill, owner of Fluxeon Inc., told The Daily Signal. "The winners should be judged by the success they have, and that's not achieved on the backs of his fellow countrymen." Moreover, there are more than 31 investigations into alleged fraud at the Bank. At a recent hearing, members of the House Financial Services and Oversight and Government Reform Committees were told these will likely lead to indictments. There's also an alarming lack of transparency, with the Bank failing to account for $25.8 billion in transactions, according to the Heritage-Mercatus report.

Down the Road
Down the just-moved Road about 30 miles from where we were
Nor do I recall how Mike, one of their nine kids, and I became friends. What I do remember is Mike helping me onto Little Guy, who was anything but little. Looking back, I think he stood about 16 hands tall, a hand, I believe being four inches in length. He was a giant to me with Mike teaching me how to ride. Little Guy and I rode all through the woods, which I'm guessing must have been about 20 acres or so between Suburbia and the Great Valley. The Great Valley had once been farms, and there still were some. But Suburbia was quickly moving in to where the farms had been.

The so-called French TRICOLOUR is a flag that represents three nations not one
The French kings always called themselves kings of France and Switzerland. After her marriage to the Dauphin Mary came up with the idea of designing a flag for the day when she would be Queen of Scotland, Switzerland and France, The BLUE was for Scotland, the White was for Switzerland, and the RED was for France. Thus the pattern that she chose was the present day French Tricolour (Flag), but history was to change all that when the Dauphin went to his grave, before ever becoming King of France, and so the Tricolour flag was shelved in the French palace.

Milt Gross Book Review: "Running with Scissors, a memoir" by Augusten Burroughs
The book is kind of quirky, weird, about a young man, the author, Augusten Burroughs, and his years as a teenager. Actually the book is a memoir, not fiction, and it is crass, describing many indecent scenes -- according to me -- of how Burroughs mother was mentally ill, his living a good part of the time in the house of the psychologist who is treating her, and the weird occurrences that took place.

My experience in nursing vs. holistic nursing
As a nurse working in hospitals I followed the usual routines caring for my patients. I enjoyed the work and did this for many years. There was always something new to learn, and I joined nursing organisations in order to keep up with the latest trends. But then, all this changed when I attended one particular meeting. The subject was "diet," so I expected the usual recommendation of "meat and two vegetables, fats, dairy and carbohydrates." Instead, the presenter introduced us to something called "Applied Kinesiology" and showed through muscle testing that certain foods were not appropriate for certain individuals.

Terms that are meaningless today
In the early days of French settlement in North America and the foundation of New France began, there was a way for people to claim being French by word DE SOUCHE, or old stock being only of French background. After this came the term PURE LAINE, pure wool or true blue, of dyed in the wool, as opposed to those who were born in New France and those whose backgrounds were of mixed origins.

Vote "No" on Fast Track by Franciscan Action Network
Stopping the fast track of the Trans Pacific Partnership deal has become the priority of many non-profits due to questions it raises when it comes to important issues such as labor, the environment, human trafficking, and immigration. Trade deals this big are too important to be done in secret--especially when potential partner countries do not have the same standards as the United States. Signing off on such a deal could even look like the United States is condoning bad behavior.

Deaf Ears and Blind Hearts Ignore the SIgns
The Clarion Project recently released a 3 minute video warning the USA to listen to and BELIEVE what the Muslim world says. It provides some footage of historical situations in which the West failed to heed the warnings and paid dearly. There is a growing number of westerners joining ISIS. These people will return home if they are not killed. These people have been told to rise up against and DESTROY the infidel wherever they are found.

Global kudos to Israel's long term viability
Some 280 global high tech giants (mostly from the US) have given kudos to Israel's economy, in general, and Israel's brain power, in particular, by establishing research and development (R&D) centers in the Startup Nation. Thus, Intel operates four R&D centers, Microsoft - 2, IBM - 3 R&D centers, etc.. A few scores of these high tech giants are major bio-med companies, such as Johnson & Johnson, Philips, General Electric, Abbott Laboratories, Merck Serono, Foson Pharmaceuticals and Samsung, reflecting global appreciation of Israel's unique capabilities and contribution in the areas of medical devices, pharmaceuticals and digital and mobile healthcare.

Planting Seeds of Possibility
As the school year ends, I'm reminded of the teachers, in various roles, who positively impacted my life far beyond our encounters. These thoughts are for them, and people like them, who touch our lives and never know the lasting impact they have. Often, we don't even know ourselves until years later.

Minimum Wage, Maximum Hypocrisy
Labor expert James Sherk, for example, found that raising the minimum wage to $15 would cause a 36 percent drop in hours worked in fast food.....As Rusty Hicks, head of the Los Angeles Federation of Labor, told the Times: "With a collective bargaining agreement, a business owner and the employees negotiate an agreement that works for them both. The agreement allows each party to prioritize what is important to them. This provision gives the parties the option, the freedom, to negotiate that agreement. And that is a good thing."

Death of the Ethnocentric Bigot Jacques Parizeau, but will his PIPE DREAM Continue?
Most of Kebek's upper crust society sent their children to this elitist brainwashing Institution, and from it came others like Pierre-Elliott Trudeau and a host of present day separatist elites that have all failed at the creation of a pseudo French state in North America, because they were never French to begin with, but Franco-Amerindians by origin, who for ages clung to the false premise that they were French. Because even France refused to recognize them as French, and false claim do not a Frenchman or Frenchwoman make.

Children's Deaths Don't Matter to Domestic Violence Activists
Statistics are a tool for measuring various aspects of any given situation, but as a weapon, they can be used to promote any desired agenda, simply by pulling them out of context. I mentioned above that Female domestic violence deaths equated with 0.00001% of males between the ages of 25 and 54, whilst the number of children at risk was ten thousand times higher and the number of deaths in one state alone was Nine times higher. To deliberately project onto society an ideology that is biased, disproportional and/or false, is to impact generations of impressionable young minds whose every relationship will be infected with a cancerous untruth.

Three Questions to Change the Election
Agenda 21 is designed to change our nation; our way of life; and our form of government. These candidates want to allow those changes to quietly take place, unseen and unnoticed by the public, while they remain silent. If the candidates want to drastically change our nation, then it's time we have a national debate about it. Starting today, ask the questions that will fire that debate. The term social justice is used more and more in today's official society. The actual meaning of social justice is redistribution of wealth, much of which is imposed through the tool of political correctness. Social Justice is used to create class warfare and divisions in our society. It is now widely used in our public school curricula to replace actual academics with behavior modification methods designed to change the attitudes, values and beliefs of the children.

Summer in Maine I find interesting, unlike the hot summers of my childhood in suburban Philadelphia, where it would become hot and stay that way. I remember standing in the back yard as a kid, dreaming of our annual August trip to Maine. It was okay in Maine in the daytime, not as hot as Pennsylvania but hot enough to be comfortable. It was the evenings when things turned arctic. On would go the sweaters and even jackets to stay warm. This, if I remember, was part of the fun....different than Pennsylvania.

Milt Gross Book Review: "Backpacks, Boots and Baguettes" by Simon Calder and Mick Webb
My understanding is this trail along the Pyrenees crossed many roads as well as rough places including hard climbing. Many times the two described their coming down a trail to a road and walking along the road. Their overnights were far different from the Appalachian Trail, as well. They seldom camped and spent most nights in hotels or inns with adequate meals.

Giving "The Last Full Measure of Devotion"

It's time for a reality check by the Franco-Amerindian Kebekois people
While the Kebek Agricultural Marketing Board regulates producers in Kebek, it had no jurisdiction to lay down its laws in other provinces. While the Kebekois Federation might advertise their product as PURE Canadian MAPLE SYRUP in the United States, it does not advertise the MAPLE SYRUP of other Canadian Provinces. So, the Appeal Court in New Brunswick has now cut off Kebek's right to foist its court decisions onto other provinces of Canada.

Down the Old Maine Road
But it stated something I found interesting, that all things in life turn out for the good, even though some things don't appear to be good while they're happening. So, I thought -- actually thought -- about my own life and things that have happened to me. Many of them turned out, if not good themselves, to be stepping stones to better circumstances. I didn't come to Maine in 1965 to work. I came to have fun, hike, canoe, ride boats from coastal towns, bird hunt, and otherwise enjoy myself. Once we live in Searsport, I'll have time with Dolores to do the things I came to Maine to do. And there is much to do not far from Searsport.

Milt Gross Book Review: "Star Island" by Carl Hiaasen
I've been enjoying Hiaasen's books for years, and this one was no exception. Except for the story's becoming too complicated and some humor I found a bit below the good humor belt. This was typically Hiaasen amusing and a bit crude, a little confusing, but overall a good book. I've enjoyed Hiaasen's books more for the weird happenings than for the story plots.

I never would have imagined the path my life has taken. I have experienced the depths of sorrow and known the essence of true joy. I have come to believe out of the tragedy of losing my dear two sons within two short years, that it serves each of us to embrace every moment, because that is all that is certain. Every moment is a gift to learn from and gain insight from. Our moments become part of us and make us who we are.

Unfortunately, the program has come under fire from certain politicians who -- not coincidentally -- are beholden to teachers' unions that resent the competition.

Into the Deep: America, Whaling & the World is a two hour documentary by Ric Burns about the history of the whaling industry in the United States.
A film chronicling the American whaling industry from its origins in New England in the 17th century, through the golden age of deep-sea whaling, up to its decline following the Civil War. Narrated by Willem Dafoe, this film binds the story of American capitalism on the rise with a case study in maritime culture. The fate of the whaleship Essex—which set sail from Nantucket in the summer of 1819—is interwoven with the story of a young Herman Melville, whose own imaginative voyage into the deep would give rise to one of the greatest works of American literature, Moby Dick.
Other voices heard in the film include Robert Sean Leonard as Herman Melville, Josh Hamilton as Owen Chase & Peleg Folger and Vincent Kartheiser as Thomas Nickerson.

Editor's note: This story was first published July 30, 2006, three months and one day after Jay Cutler was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 11th overall selection in the 2006 NFL Draft.
Santa Claus, Ind. - The directions around the town Jay Cutler's dad helped build are simple and memorable.
OK, so maybe Jack Cutler didn't exactly build Santa Claus, but he did pour the concrete on many of its sidewalks and driveways and a few parking lots. The cart paths at the critically acclaimed, if extremely long, local golf course were poured by Cutler & Son. Yes, the boy did his share of the labor on that one.
Anyway, drive past Frosty's Pizza and Santa's Lodge on the right, ignore Old Thyme Liquors on the left, and pull into Christmas Lake Village.
Once there, wave to the lady guarding the gates and roll through Melchior (one of the Three Wise Men) Drive until it reaches the lake lined with immaculate residential properties. Look across the water and admire the $2 million home built by the founder of the popular Holiday World theme park, turn right on Kaspar (another Wise Man), a left on Donder, a right on Holly Lane and there it is.
The seeds of the Broncos' future.
This is where Jay Cutler, the Broncos' new quarterback, grew up. Isn't it easier to predict the future if the past is understood? What made this place a boy's paradise wasn't necessarily the brick home Jack built from scratch, with the woods as a backyard boundary, but the expansive park directly across the street. At one end was a baseball diamond, there were basketball and tennis courts at the other, and in between was enough land for Jay to show off his always-impressive arm in a neighborhood football game.
"Holly Park, that's pretty much where I honed all my skills," Cutler said. "Baseball, basketball, football. Every day after school, I was there."
To those looking for another tale of a kid escaping from the urban projects and overcoming all odds before finding success and riches in the NFL, this isn't it. Relative to the Denver metro area, a little goes a long way in southern Indiana, not that Jack and Sandy Cutler have to apologize for the life they gave Jay and his two younger sisters, Jenna and Joy.
"You know what? Sure, this is a nice place and we have some nice things or whatever, but our kids know that we worked for everything we've got," Jack Cutler said.
For 25 years, a typical day for Jack Cutler would be getting up at 6 a.m. and pouring concrete until noon, coming home for lunch, showering, then heading off to his full-time job as an Indiana state trooper. Sandy stayed home babysitting several kids in the neighborhood.
"I never let the kids watch cop shows," Sandy said.
There can be good money in the concrete business, more than in law enforcement. One year, Jack said, his concrete profits tripled his trooper salary. Jay was well-provided for, but his dad made sure a work ethic was instilled. From the time Jay was 6, he served as his dad's concrete gofer and he was digging, tying rebar and pouring concrete by 10.
Later, after his dad's back gave out, Jay spent the summer before his redshirt freshman year at Vanderbilt getting up early to ride, jump and haul from the back of the garbage truck.
"It gave me an idea what could happen if I didn't work hard in school and athletics," Cutler said. "It was something I didn't want to do my entire life, I'll tell you that.
Still, soak up this small community of roughly 2,000 people with their luscious lawns and woodsy backdrop, its three lakes and gimmicky street names like Sled Run and Elf Lane, and it's a wonder where Cutler found his drive. Sometimes, it can be more difficult overcoming privilege than poverty. Ask the Kennedy kids.
How did Cutler strive for more when so many would have said he already had it all?
"I can see where you're coming from," he said. "There's a lot of kids that grew up with benefits other people didn't have. Grew up in a great neighborhood, no real crime, great school, great family. I don't know...I just know as early as I can remember I always wanted to be first. Always wanted to win. Always enjoyed competing. I always loved to get out there and mix it up."
Point of contention
The Broncos flag hanging from the front porch was a dead giveaway. The Cutlers don't live in Santa Claus anymore. Almost three years ago, they moved up the interstate to an Evansville development so Jack could be closer to his state trooper post on the gaming boats.
Directly inside their front door is the living room where Jack is watching the NFL Network on his big-screen television. Sandy is sitting on the recliner nearby, mostly listening while her husband talks. What's most striking about the Cutlers is how they're so regular. In polite manner, attentive conversation and all-day accommodation, the Cutlers flaunt no evidence of raising a famous son. Instead, like all parents, they simply are proud of their son.
Jack's viewing preference is influenced in part by Mike Mayock, the NFL Network's draft analyst who has long preached from the Jay Cutler pulpit, telling the nation that it's the big-armed, athletic kid from Vanderbilt, not Matt Leinart or Vince Young, who is going to be the best pro quarterback.
"Jay's not stupid," Jack said. "It didn't sit well knowing he was third going in."
Downstairs, in the family room that includes a pool table, another big-screen TV, bar and shrine to Jay's football career, there is a caricature drawing of ESPN analysts Mel Kiper Jr. and John Clayton, a gift to Jack from a friend.
Ballooning from Kiper's mouth in the caricature: "Oops! John, this isn't going our way. That damn Mayock!"
What irks Cutler & Son more than anything is the inference Jay doesn't know how to win like Leinart and Young. College did that. While Leinart and Young put on arguably the best national championship game in college history in January, Cutler never got a chance to play in a bowl game in his four years as the starting quarterback for academic-rich, football-poor Vanderbilt.
If only people did a little more research. At Heritage Hills High School, which had produced such future NFL players as Ken Dilger, Bruce King and Jon Goldsberry, Cutler never lost a regular-season game. His first start as a sophomore began a 58-game winning streak that lasted until the first game of the 2005 season, tied for the third-longest run in Indiana history.
As a senior in 2000, Cutler led his school to a 15-0 record and the state championship.
During one game that year, Heritage Hills was playing North Posey, a small country school. A few plays into the game, Cutler was struck with a virus that was going around the school. He called a timeout, ran to the sideline and told coach Bob Clayton he had to, ahem, go. And the cornfield wasn't going to cut it. With no other restroom facilities in the immediate area, Cutler held it for a few plays on defense, then ran directly out of the end zone, through an open field, and past the parking lot until he finally reached the school, where he banged on doors until a janitor finally let him.
Upon his return, Cutler, the fastest kid in Spencer County, scored on a 65-yard punt return, a 24-yard interception return, a 44-yard run and threw a 55-yard touchdown pass in a 69-3 victory.
"Never in my career did I have a player leave the game to go to the bathroom," Clayton said. "The one guy who does it is Jay Cutler. I hate to say it but when I think of Jay's playing career, one of the more common visions I have of him is seeing him running through cars in the parking lot."
In the state championship game, Cutler didn't have his best passing day, throwing three interceptions. But Clayton said he set a school record by making 19 tackles against a physically superior opponent and scored the winning touchdown in the final minute after catching a flea flicker.
All right, so Heritage Hills is a long way from winning at Arrowhead Stadium or the Black Hole in Oakland. But when evaluating whether a quarterback has what it takes to win, shouldn't the fact he hardly lost in high school, whether he starred as a baseball shortstop, basketball shooting guard or football quarterback-safety, count for something?
"Yeah, it bothers me," Cutler said about his supposed shortcomings entering the draft. "I've been on successful teams throughout my athletic life. I know how to win, I know how to win games late. I just wasn't heavily recruited and didn't have the option to play at USC or Texas. Put me on those teams and see how I do.
"But I'm over it. The Broncos took me and obviously they could see past that and I think I can have some success down the road."
The Broncos not only selected Cutler with the 11th pick in the draft, they gave him an $11 million guarantee. That may have been less than the $25.7 million Tennessee gave Young, the third overall pick, or the $12 million-plus Arizona is expected to give Leinart, the 10th pick.
Still, any idea how much concrete Cutler would have to pour for $11 million?
"It was going to be hard for Tennessee to take me over those two, because if you take Vince Young and he busts, people can live with that," he said. "If you take me and I bust, people would be, 'Hey, saw that coming down the road. You should have known better.' It's just one of those things, and I think it worked out better for me than those two situations anyway. I think being here is better than being in Arizona or (with) the Tennessee Titans. I'm happy about it."
Two weeks ago, Cutler took a foray to Las Vegas with Broncos second-round pick Tony Scheffler and fellow backup quarterbacks Bradlee Van Pelt and Preston Parsons. Perhaps, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan cringed as he read that. Imagine a group of wide-eyed kids, following Brad- lee the Leader along The Strip. They went to the Mosley-Vargas fight. And they went for Vegas. Somehow, the group made it safely home without trouble.
"He reminds me of, not necessarily Southern, because he's from Indiana, but he's very considerate," Van Pelt said about Cutler. "He's a good kid. He's very nice."
Santa Claus is coming
Santa Claus is a little Southern, as it's not far from the Kentucky border. As the story goes, the town was called Santa Fe (pronounced Fee) in 1852 when it applied for its own post office. Informed that Indiana already had a town named Santa Fe, the townsfolk gathered Christmas Eve for a brainstorming session. Legend has it sleigh bells could be heard as the wind started to gust, prompting some imaginative children to proclaim that Santa Claus had arrived.
And a town was named. Later, the U.S. Postmaster started sending unaddressed letters intended for Santa Claus, the jolly gift-giver, to the post office of Santa Claus, the no-stoplight town. Even today, Santa Claus receives a half-million pieces of mail between Nov. 1 and Christmas Eve.
The moniker is not without irritants.
"I know when I go out of town and try to get into a bar, they look at you funny," said Brandon Vincent, Cutler's longtime friend who will soon move to Denver and become Jay's personal assistant. "They look at you like, 'Is this a fake ID?' Like you want to draw more attention to yourself."
As Cutler, 23, became increasingly recognizable to the public eye, he grew weary of the repetitive questions about the town's name. Entering his senior year at Vanderbilt, he finally felt frisky enough to tell a Nashville newspaper, "it could be named Easter Bunny for all I care."
The point is, for those living there, Santa Claus is only home. As Jack and Sandy revisited their town recently, a lady leaving the post office told them how proud she was of them and their son. At a restaurant for lunch, a local policeman talked about his kids from a few empty tables away. The Cutlers kept up the conversation about his kids. The lady guard at the Village sent a wisecrack at Jack through the intercom while lifting the gate, as if the Cutlers never left.
"It's like any other small town," Jay said. "It's kind of country. To go to a movie, you had to go 20 minutes. To go to a mall, you had to go to Evansville. I mean, if you wanted to go out to dinner or something, you had to really plan it out.
"But, I don't know, looking back on it, I had a great time. It was a perfect setting for a family to grow up in."
And it's the kind of place where, no matter how great the small-town kid becomes, no matter if he leads the Broncos to multiple Super Bowls, he'll never become bigger than the town. Nobody's bigger than Santa Claus.

Stayed here for two nights. We loved that everything was walking distance from the hotel. The rooms were spacious enough for 2 adults and 2 kids. Breakfast was great. The decor was modern and tasteful. We walked to the Prado and park and took the red bus all around town. There were great restaurants all around, just be prepared that Spanish food is very different from American cuisine...though quite delicious. We stayed at AC HOTELS all around Spain and were not disappointed! Great value for money and consistent Marriott quality. Note: if you are driving a car this hotel is hard to find ( get a GPS)!

There isn't a particularly great way - none better than anything else you'd get running on Linux or BSD. The basic process is the same as on any other platform: either snag the binary distribution from the website and install it or use a packaging tool like homebrew. In the end you're going to be running the same software so there's no particular reason to prefer one over the other.
"I need great performance" is too vague to offer any better advice. Given that you're seriously considering using a home ISP to make it accessible (I assume, based on your post). You're pretty unlikely to need anything more complicated than a basic installation.

Typically that means MySQL is running or isn't configured to listen on a socket in that location. Does it show up in the process list? Did you follow the instructions after you run brew install mysql? They require adding it to launchd and configuring the root user and that isn't done automatically.
