Pro Bowl Score 2011 : NFC Vs 55-41 AFC Pro Bowl | Pro Bowl Score Highlights

Pro Bowl Score : NFC Knocks Off AFC in an Epic Defensive Battle.The NFL does a lot of things right. They have the best television product of any of the major sports in this country. The league makes billions of dollars every year from television contracts, merchandise sales and ad revenue.In the NFC, Atlanta Falcons got the most number with 9 players. This should make for a very interesting matchup since their respective coaches will be in charge. On the other hand, the AFC just has more impact players like Darrelle Revis and Jamaal Charles, which both will be hard to neutralize.

No one cares and you get some awful football as a result.But just when it appeared it would be the most one-sided game in Pro Bowl history, eclipsing the Joe Theismann-led 45-3 NFC rout of the AFC in 1984, the AFC scored three touchdowns in a row. The last came on the game's seventh turnover, when Devin Hester tried to hand the kickoff return to Hall, but the ball fell to the turf. The Jaguars’ Montell Owens scooped it up and ran it in 8 yards for the score to make it 42-21 with 10 minutes left in the third quarter.

SAG Awards: The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards

The 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards paved the way for what could become a big night at the upcoming Academy Awards for The King's Speech.First the Colin Firth-lead drama beat out Black Swan and The Social Network for Best Picture. Then Firth won the Best Actor award which included a strong field of competitors such as Jeff Bridges in True Grit.

With these wins following identical wins at the Golden Globes, The King's Speech should be considered the favorite to walk away with Best Picture at the Academy Awards. A Screen Actors Guild Award is an accolade given by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) to recognize outstanding performances by its members. The statuette given, representing a naked man holding both a mask of comedy and a mask of tragedy, is called "The Actor".

Egypt Governments on Pressure for Reforms

Egypt Governments started arranging for planes on Sunday to bring home citizens stuck in Egypt, where violent protests of the rule of President Hosni Mubarak have given way in some parts of Cairo to looting.Leaders around the world are calling for immediate economic and social reforms in Egypt as countries prepare to transport expatriates out of the area today.

On Sunday, the United States stepped up pressure on Mubarak's fledgling government, urging reforms and throwing its full support behind "peaceful protesters" demanding change.U.S.-based Delta Air Lines Inc, for instance, said on Friday it was suspending its service into Cairo indefinitely.

U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Janice Jacobs said on CNN television that U.S.-government sponsored flights will be leaving Cairo on Monday."We are in the process right now of arranging for some charter flights that will be going out of Cairo. Those will begin tomorrow and then they will be ongoing until we are able to get all Americans who are not able to get out via commercial airlines."They came from every corner of Astoria, Queens: Egyptian taxi drivers, Tunisian shopkeepers and Lebanese doctors, all seeking news and commiseration through the thick and fragrant haze
of hookah smoke at the Layali El Helmeya Café on Steinway Street, otherwise known as Little Egypt.But the moment President Hosni Mubarak appeared on the cafe’s television set on Friday, announcing that he was offering to replace his government ministers but refusing to cede power, their reaction was blunt and unified.



“Leave! Leave! Leave! You have no shame!” they chanted.As tens of thousands of Egyptians took to the streets of Cairo on Sunday for the sixth day of open revolt, here in Astoria, the heart of New York City’s Egyptian community, people reacted with hope tinged with visceral anger for an Egyptian president who they said had suppressed freedom for too long and an American president whom they accused of abetting him.

Iphone chez IAM, Blackberry en Pré-Payé chez Inwi, Repositionnement Chez Meditel

iphone maroc telecom iam maroc
Maroc Telecom conclut un accord pour l'acquisition de Milliers d'Iphone, Inwi Proposera le Blackberry en Pré-Payé ! Des rumeurs vous dites ? Tant mieux, il n'y a pas de mal à rêver et De rêver surtout d'une réelle baisse des tarifs de la communication au Maroc. 

Plus sérieusement, selon des sources sures, Maroc Telecom a bien passé commande de 20.000 terminaux Iphone. 
La condition qu'impose Apple, propriétaire de la Marque Iphone, à ses clients c'est de partager le bénéfice (Connu sous le sigle "ARPU")  généré par ses terminaux avec l'opérateur . Une chose qu'avait toujours refusé Meditel. 

Inwi, la Nouvelle Marque du Réseau Wana, a lancé une campagne Marketing assez agressive (agressive sur un plan visuel, sur les prix, on ne sait pas encore). 

Des Voitures aux Couleurs de la Marque qui sillonnent les villes, des pages publicitaires sur tous les Grands Journaux, des spots publicitaires qui passent en boucle à la Télé, le changement des facettes des Magasins Wana... 

Inwi, n'a pas lésiné sur les Moyens promotionnels et ça a certainement un coût extra-ordinaire. On imaginerait mal Inwi faire un aussi grand investissement pour tomber dans le Produit Banal qui intéresse au Début et dont on se débarrasse après un petit moment comme c'était le Cas avec le Produit "Bayn". 

Là aussi, selon des sources sures, Inwi va proposer des téléphones Blackberry en Pré-Payé. 
Inwi stand Marjane maroc

Elle a même prévu une issue de secoure si ses offres de lancement ne marchent pas (j'en vous en parlerai dans un futur proche). 

On ne pouvait pas mieux espérer : Le secteur de la Téléphonie Mobile Bouillonne au Maroc. 


En plus, Meditel vient de revoir sa stratégie Marketing : Elle vient de changer son Slogan en "Connectés à l'Avenir" au lieu du "Pour Mieux communiquer". Un repositionnement Marketing est envisageable dans les Jours qui suivent.
Meditel Connectés à l'avenir

Mixez tout cela et ajoutez y la décision Prise par l'ANRT, lors d'une réunion de son conseil d'administration du 18 Janvier, De baisser les Tarifs à moyen terme, vous aurez un marché et des offres assez alléchantes pour le consommateur.

Allez, et que le Meilleur gagne !

Lalla laaroussa 2011 sur al aoula


Lalla Laâroussa 2011, est un programme de télé-réalité marocain à forte notoriété regroupant humour, musique et jeux autour de l’institu­tion du mariage.
Lalla Laâroussa 2010Son principe reste toujours le même : sept couples qui ont déjà signé leur contrat de mariage mais qui, faute de moyens, n’ont pas organisé de fête de mariage et vivent encore avec leurs parents sont sélectionnés pour participer à une série de tests et d’épreuves insolites. Les belles-mères figures-clés de la famille marocaine participent également à l’aventure.
Des questionnaires récurrents, des épreuves en plateau et hors plateau permettent de départager les candidats. Les vainqueurs repartent avec le plus beau des cadeaux : un beau mariage, un voyage de noces à l’étranger et une maison dans la ville où le couple réside actuellement.
Le programme Lalla Laâroussa a connu un léger rafraîchissement, se rapportant au décor et aux présentateurs. En effet, pour cette nouvelle édition (2011), les responsables de l’émission ont revu le décor du Plateau de manière à accueillir les candidats dans un cadre à la fois doux, coloré, parfumé et ludique…

WWE Royal Rumble 2011 : Championship Matches & Results

The Royal Rumble 2011 is scheduled to be held on this Sunday, January 30, 2011, starting at 8PM EST on Pay-Per-View. The event will take place in Boston, MA. The main event just takes place to have a few ties to Oklahoma also, in the form of Royal Rumble contestant Jack Swagger and former commentator, Jim Ross.

There are 28 of the 40 Royal Rumble contestants name for 2011 have been declared, check out the list:

Alberto Del Rio, CM Punk, “Dashing” Cody Rhodes, Daniel Bryan, Darren Young, David Hart Smith, David Otunga, Drew McIntyre, Ezekiel Jackson, Heath Slater, Husky Harris, Jack Swagger, John Cena, John Morrison, Justin Gabriel, Mark Henry, Mason Ryan, Michael McGillicutty, Primo, R-Truth, Rey Mysterio, Sheamus, Ted DiBiase, Tyson Kidd, Wade Barrett, William Regal, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder.
2-on-1 Handicap Match for the Divas Championship: Champion Natalya vs. Lay-Cool (Michelle McCool & Layla) - I think that the Divas title match at WrestleMania XXVII will involve the erosion of the current friendship between Natalya and Beth Phoenix. To get there,

World Heavyweight Championship: Champion Edge vs. Dolph Ziggler - The history of this event features several title matches involving a long-time mid-card star getting a title shot as a test to see whether they are worthy of future main event status. Some have passed this test at this event (ex: Chris Benoit) while others never got another title shot again on PPV (ex: Hardcore Holly). Dolph Ziggler is an incredible in-ring talent from bell-to-bell.

World Heavyweight Championship at this event. Predicted Winner: Edge
WWE Championship: Champion The Miz vs. Randy Orton - This is a very similar situation to what happened last year at this show. Sheamus had recently won his first WWE Championship and found himself defending the title against Randy Orton. The difference is that this will the Miz's second PPV title defense on PPV as opposed to Sheamus who was having his first. Last month, the Miz beat Orton in a Tables Match. I see a similar outcome this month due to the aid of Michael Cole. Predicted Winner: The Miz



The Royal Rumble Match
The decision to go to 40-wrestlers: On the one hand, the decision to go to 40-wrestlers just adds 10 more names to the list of people with no shot of winning this thing. However, with the influx of new talent related to the Nexus and Corre, if this was still a 30-man match, that storyline involving those groups would have dominated this bout. In this case, Triple H make his return at this show. Since two of the last three Rumbles were won by someone making a surprise return at this event and there has already been a Rumble won by Triple H making his return to the ring, I don't see Triple H winning this one.

Justin Bieber Died : Little Singer Star Died at Age 16

Justin Drew Bieber (pronounced /ˈbiːbər/ BEE-bər, born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian pop-R&B singer. Bieber was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun,who happened to come across Bieber's videos on YouTube and later became his manager.

Braun arranged for him to meet with Usher in Atlanta, Georgia, and Bieber was soon signed to Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG), a joint venture between Braun and Usher, and then to a recording contract with Island Records offered by L.A. Reid.His debut single, "One Time", released worldwide in 2009, charted in the top 30 in over ten countries. His debut release, My World, followed on November 17, 2009, and was eventually certified platinum in the United States. He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

His first full studio release, My World 2.0, was released on March 23,
2010 and has since received similar success; it debuted at number one and within the top ten of several countries and was certified platinum in the United States. It was preceded by the worldwide top-ten single, "Baby," in January 2010.Bieber is often featured in teen magazines such as Tiger Beat, and has been labeled a "teen hearthrob".

Bieber is a practicing Christian.Bieber has released a collection of nail varnishes with OPI to raise awareness for charity. For Justin Bieber he is just the latest celebrity (yeah he’s a celeb) to be targeted by a malicious death rumor. It all started when some idiot put a RIP Bieber on Twitter and in spread like wild fire, becoming a trend. I would like to clear it up and say that Justin Bieber is not dead;

He is very much alive. The best thing is that after all these rumors; the kid was at the LIVE broadcast of the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. You really should have picked a celebrity that wasn’t going to be there… idiot.Anyways, like I said, Justin Bieber did not die, the rumor is completely false.The were followed by paparazzi during their way to the parking lot and when asked to address the nature of their relationship, Justin shouted "Never Say Never", which also refers to his upcoming movie.


Selena kept walking with her head down as she looked slightly embarrassed by all the attention. Escorted by a bodyguard, Justin stopped for a while to pose together with one girl fan. And when they reached the car, the 16-year-old Canadian singer acted like a gentleman by opening the door for his rumored girlfriend.

Ana Ivanovic: Too sexy to win again


You'd usually think that there is no such thing as too sexy, but it turns out that Serbian tennis player Ana Ivanovic (who was ousted early from the Australian Open, and most majors as of late) is just a too sexy athlete.

The TennisReporters.net website has banned the Serbian stunner from its annual Sexiest Player Award readers poll. Ivanovic won it five straight times so the site owners decided it was time to let someone else in a short tennis dress and bloomers have a shot at the coveted title. But they decided to honour Ivanovic by naming the award the Ana Ivanovic Sexiest Player Award.

So, who succeeds Ana Ivanovic as the WTA's sexiest racket handler? Russian hottie Maria Kirilenko (right). The complete poll results were:

The Challenger Disaster Live On

The Challenger Disaster :
Twenty-five years ago today, Concord, New Hampshire, was abuzz with excitement as teacher Christa McAuliffe was about to make history.Thousands of educators had applied to be the first teacher in space, but NASA chose McAuliffe, a 10th-grade social studies teacher at Concord High School.Micaela Pond, who was 17 and McAuliffe's neighbor at the time, remembers getting a ride home one day from the teacher turned astronaut. Where were you when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 25 years ago? I was sitting on the gym floor of my middle school watching the teacher turned astronaut head into space.

It was one of those moments that shook the world and marked the lives of just about everyone who witnessed it.At 11:39 AM EST on January 28, 1986, a generation of kids had the image of the Challenger explosion burned into their memories where it would forever rest with similar world jarring events. In less than an hour, the Aubrey Fitch, a guided-missile frigate returning from the Bahamas, turned around to begin search-and-rescue operations for the Challenger shuttle.

It was the first ship on the scene, he said.

"We were expecting the worst," he said. "We were expecting to find bodies." From sunrise to sunset, Nelson and four enlisted men under him took turns looking through the ship's "big eyes," two 20-power, nitrogen gas-filled binoculars. The heavy, 30-inch-long binoculars, mounted on stationary pedestals, were typically used to identify other ships at sea.

But 25 years ago, the "big eyes" on the Aubrey Fitch were used to find remnants of a shuttle launch gone wrong.Nelson searched for reflections in the water, sunlight hitting metal pieces from the space shuttle. The Aubrey Fitch recovered large fuselage panels, propulsion components, tiles and an orbiter landing gear among several tons of evidence collected.

"I was constantly looking," he said. "Once you see it, you stay right on it."



Without turning his head, he said aloud the object's exact location and the officer on the deck would turn the ship into it.For Nelson, the first items recovered were the most memorable: an astronaut's helmet and a fecal bag.

WORLD NEWS : LIVE UPDATES FROM EGYPT PROTESTS

Cairo - A tense calm fell over Egypt Thursday morning after two days of clashes between anti-government demonstrators and police left at least six people dead, hundreds injured and more that 800 arrested.Armoured vehicles and hundreds of riot police were out in force across central Cairo where they took up positions since the nationwide protest erupted on Tuesday.

SANAA, YEMEN - Yemeni protesters inspired by recent events in Tunisia rallied in the streets of the capital Sanaa on Thursday (Jan.27) to call for the departure of President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who has been in power since 1978.President Ali Abdullah Saleh of Yemen - According to FRANCE24 TV, citing newswires such as AFP, thousands of Yemenis demonstrated in the capital calling on President Ali Abdullah Saleh to depart after being in power since 1978.

“Egypt’s Muslims and Christians will go out to fight against corruption, unemployment and oppression and absence of freedom,” the page said, adding more than 70,000 had signed up online.In Suez, which has been ground zero for some of the most violent demonstrations, police fired tear gas at protesters who hurled stones and petrol bombs into the early hours of Friday. Fires burned in the street, filling the air with smoke.The city fire station was ablaze. Waves of protesters charged towards a police station deep into the night. Demonstrators dragged away their wounded comrades into alleys.

LIVE Updates From Egypt Protests



Main factors : The main reason behind the food price increases is on the supply side which cannot be altered in a short term. The main culprits behind the shortage: climate change (resulting in drought and unseasonal rains), rising temperature, use of food crop to produce fuel, and conversion of farmland into industrial and urban use.Some point to low interest rates in the U.S., Japan and Europe, as investors use cheap financing to invest in globally traded commodities such as rice, sugar, cotton and oil, driving the prices higher.

The U.S. administration is helplessly watching the situation as dictators, which it has backed for decades, are overthrown or on the verge.

But as crowds filled downtown Cairo's Tahrir Square - waving Egyptian and Tunisian flags and adopting the same protest chants that rang out in the streets of Tunis - security personnel changed tactics and the protest turned violent.

Archer Review Season 2 Full Video

Archer Review Season 2
Archer is hysterically funny, bawdy actual situational comedy. What do I mean? I mean the writers take the time to set up a situation and make that the funny selling point, they don’t rely merely on off-color humor or pointless ranting. That is the charm of the show.

Tonight marks the return of Archer, which may just be the best animated spy action-comedy in the history of animated spy action-comedies.If you haven’t seen our Archer season 2 preview, the second season of Sterling Malory “Duchess” Archer’s misadventures comes with more witty banter, epic action, twisted and hilarious quotables and of course, 68% more sex than we saw last season (by my careful scientific estimate). And it all kicks off with the season 2 premiere, “Swiss Miss”.

This episode contained all the stuff I liked about Archer season one – great dialogue and banter; bawdy humor you almost feel demented for laughing at; plenty of animated sex appeal (because that IS a thing, apparently); and some cool spy action. Not only did “Swiss Miss” offer these familiar Archer tropes, it had them neatly ordered and polished to perfection.

“Swiss Miss” continued to split up screen time wisely between the characters, and the sub-plot with Malory and Pam ending up in a cringe-worthy threesome after too many “green Russians” (Absinthe + milk) was some hilariously gross stuff. Can’t wait to see if that running gag (Pam having a secret to hold over Malory) gets woven into the rest of season 2. I also enjoyed seeing Ray Gillette (voiced by show creator Adam Reed) being brought into principal fold of characters.

Archer Review Season 2 : Watch It



Archer is at its very best when it is deep into an episode and tosses in an off the wall twist. The great thing about animation is they can do this easily without blasting a hole in their special effects budget. The nice thing about Archer is that though they have that “cartoon” ability, they keep it pretty much within the scope of what real actors could manage.

Archer premieres tonight on FX at 10 PM EST. Some day soon America will be talking about this show. You might as well get there before it’s too crowded.

MTA Schedule Info : Subways & Buses Suspended, Info

An MTA bus driver was shot in the face with a pellet gun late Tuesday, allegedly by a 25-year-old passenger who refused to pay his fare.The driver was behind the wheel of his bus at Main and 53rd streets when the incident occurred, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The suspect got into a dispute with the driver and exited the bus. But after the bus pulled away, he ran after it, officials said.

"While the bus operator was letting off passengers, the suspect approached the open door and fired three rounds from the pellet gun at him," according to a statement by Capt. Mike Parker. "One round struck the bus operator in the right cheek. The suspect then ran from the area."A major snowstorm pelting Northeast United States is responsible for a virtual shutdown of everything in cities like Boston, Philadelphia and New York, according to CNN.

Tunisia Issues International Arrest Warrant For Ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali (Videos)

Tunisia - Tunisia's government issued an international arrest warrant Wednesday for ousted President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and six relatives, accusing him of taking money out of the North African nation illegally.Ben Ali, who fled to Saudi Arabia after being driven from power this month by violent protests, was also being charged with illegally acquiring real estate and other assets abroad, Justice Minister Lazhar Karoui Chebbi said.Interpol said its Tunis bureau issued a global alert seeking the arrest of Ben Ali and six family members, without specifying who. Chebbi said Ben Ali's wife, Leila, was among those wanted by Tunisian authorities.

Ben Ali, his wife and their clan have been widely accused of abusing their power to enrich themselves. In France, where family members are believed to have assets ranging from apartments to racehorses, Paris prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into their holdings.French media have reported that Leila left the country with millions in gold, but Tunisia's new central bank governor, Mustapha Kamel Nabli, says no gold was taken from the bank's vaults during the final days of Ben Ali's regime.

The top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, Jeffrey Feltman, wrapped up a three-day visit in Tunis on Wednesday, rejecting speculation that the United States was involved in Ben Ali's removal."This is a revolution by Tunisians for Tunisians, and the United States was not involved," Feltman told reporters, crediting the interim government for greater openness and steps toward political reform.

Jimmy Buffett Hospitalized After Fall from Stage during Australia Concert

James William "Jimmy" Buffett (born December 25, 1946) is a singer, songwriter, author, businessman, and movie producer. He is best known for his music, which often portrays an "island escapism" lifestyle. Together with his Coral Reefer Band, Buffett's musical hits include "Margaritaville" (No. 234 on RIAA's list of "Songs of the Century"), and "Come Monday". He has a devoted base of fans known as "Parrotheads".
Aside from his career in music, Buffett is also a best-selling writer and is involved in two restaurant chains named after two of his best known songs, "Cheeseburger in Paradise" and "Margaritaville".

He owns the Margaritaville Cafe restaurant chain and co-developed the Cheeseburger in Paradise restaurant concept with OSI Restaurant Partners (parent of Outback Steakhouse), which operates the chain under a licensing agreement with Buffett.
TMZ has confirmed the 64-year-old singer was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in Sydney after he crashed into a large gap in front of the stage during the show's finale at Hordern Pavilion.

An audience member in the front row tells TMZ it appeared Buffett was unconscious for about 5-10 minutes and that he had a huge gash on his head. Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later.Sean Fogarty, who was also front and center, tells TMZ Jimmy was doing an encore at the end of the concert called "Lovely Cruise" and walking along the edge of the stage when the lighting person splashed "a huge flash of light" along the stage, making it impossible to see and he fell. Fogarty says the next thing he knew he heard Buffett's head strike the metal on his way to the floor.
Dan Bateman, a concertgoer who witnessed the fall, said Buffet careened face first following a rendition of Lovely Cruise.




"We were in the 10th row and it looked like he did a massive face plant after his encore and pretty much didn't get up,'' Bateman told the paper. "We were told to leave the premises. No one really wanted to leave because everyone was anxious to know if he survived the fall.

US President Barack Obama will deliver his 2011 State of the Union speech, in front of hundreds of legislators and millions of viewers worldwide.This year, the broadcast of President Obama’s third State of the Union kicks off officially tonight at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT, and online plans for it have evolved dramatically from last year’s coverage, with enhanced viewing options to offer web audiences a heightened understanding of the action on screen.Presidents and Congress and a discussion on the bipartisan seating plan for this year’s address,” according to the site, and will include live reaction from members of Congress in the hall.

Tonight I want to begin by congratulating the men and women of the 112th Congress, as well as your new Speaker, John Boehner.

Monitor Lizard : Found in California Neighborhood

5-foot Monitor Lizard:
Riverside California Animal services officers often get calls reporting "huge," monstrous reptiles, only to arrive and find an itty-bitty garden snake.The 5-foot Monitor lizard wandering around a condo complex in the city of Riverside was way bigger than animal control officer Jenny Selter could have imagined.

"She said she saw it and almost jumped back in her truck," said John Welsh, spokesman for Riverside County Animal Services. "The residents were freaking out because here's the Godzilla-like creature walking down the sidewalk."Jenny Shelter, Animal Control Office, was on the scene and couldn’t believe how monstrous this lizard was:

In a related story, my mother just emitted a knowing smile while cemetery officials report that my father has turned over in his grave. I should have mom call John Welsh. She could likely provide him with a spot-on description of who Walsh should be on the lookout for.You see, as a youth, I developed a fascination for odd pets. It started with an exotic frog named Uncle Mingo who one day hopped out an open door to a life of freedom. I was heartbroken, but not deterred. I would own another exotic pet, only I vowed to do better job taking care of the next one.

Monitor lizards have become a staple in the reptile pet trade. The most commonly kept monitors are the Savannah monitor and Acklin's monitor, due to their relatively small size, low cost, and relatively calm dispositions. Nile monitors, white throated monitors, water monitors, mangrove monitors, emerald tree monitors, black tree monitors, acanthurus monitors, quince monitors, crocodile monitors and komodo dragons have also been kept in captivity. Like all reptiles that are kept as pets, monitors need hiding places and an appropriate substrate.



Monitors also need a large water dish in which they can soak their entire bodies.In the wild, monitors will eat anything they can overpower, but crickets, superworms, and the occasional rodent make up most of the captive monitors' diet. Boiled eggs, silkworms, earthworms, and feeder fish can also be fed to them. However, due to their predatory nature and large size some monitors can be dangerous to keep as pets; adult Nile monitors and water monitors, for example can reach seven feet in length.

When I was in my teens (14?), I announced to my parents that I wanted to buy an iguana. They were (obviously) reticent to welcome such a creature in their home with open arms. I assured them that, Uncle Mingo notwithstanding, I’d take excellent care of it. I must have been awfully persuasive because the following day, my mom took me to Amazon Pets and I selected a cute little iguana. I named him Stan.

ELLE EST EXTRA


(Vous allez adorer.....)

J'ai un urgent besoin de quelques jours de congé mais je sais que mon patron ne voudra pas me les donner.

J'ai alors pensé qu'en agissant comme une "folle", il me les accordera afin que je puisse me reposer.
Alors, je me suis suspendue au plafond, tête en bas, et j'ai fait de drôles de bruits.

Ma voisine de bureau (qui est blonde) me demande ce que je suis en train de faire.

Je lui dis que si je prétends être une ampoule électrique, le patron pensera que je suis folle et me les donnera ces jours de congé.

Quelques minutes plus tard, mon patron entre dans le bureau et demande :
- "Bon Dieu ! Mais qu'est-ce que tu fais là ?"

- "Je suis une ampoule électrique... "
Il me dit :
- "Il est clair que tu souffres d'un stress énorme. Retourne chez toi et repose-toi quelques jours"

Je me redresse, prends mes affaires et traverse le bureau en direction de la sortie..

C'est alors que ma voisine de bureau (toujours la blonde) me suit.

Le patron lui demande alors :
- "Eh toi! Où crois-tu aller comme ça ?"

(Vous allez adorer.....)



Et elle lui répond :
- "Je retourne aussi à la maison. Je suis incapable de travailler dans le noir..."

Pour le goûter du jour des enfants voici une recette piquée à "Chocolat à tous les étages". Ces biscuits sont très très bons, ils ont fait fureur et les enfants m'ont donné l'ordre d'en refaire rapidement! J'ai,juste changé les pépites de chocolat noir en chocolat blanc.

180 g de chocolat (pâtissier pour moi)
60 g de beurre
200 g de farine
40 g de sucre
2 oeufs
200 g de lait concentré sucré
1 pointe de vanille en poudre (ou 1 sachet de sucre vanillé)

3_13_8 PREPARATION
Dans un récipient (kitchenaid pour moi), mélanger le sucre et les oeufs au fouet.
Faire fondre le beurre et le chocolat, bien lisser et l'ajouter au mélange oeuf/sucre et laisser reposer 5 min.
Ajouter le lait concentré, la farine, la levure, la vanille et la pincée de sel.
Incorporer les pépites.
Laisser la pâte "durcir" au frais pendant 2 h.
Former des boules de la taille d'une noix (la pâte a la consistance d'unetruffe au chocolat) , les rouler dans du sucre glace et les placer sur une plaque de cuisson recouverte de papier sulfurisé ou d'une feuille en silicone.
Les espacer suffisamment et les aplatir légèrement -la pâte gonfle et s'étale légèrement  à la cuisson).
Préchauffer le four à 160° et cuire les biscuits 10 à 13 minutes (jusqu'à ce qu'ils commencent à être fermes en surface.
Les laisser refroidir un peu puis les placer sur une grille et ensuite il ne vous reste plus qu'à les dévorer!
