On Chicks Only, GirlGrabbers' ode to the ladies, the crew has crafted a damn near perfect array of instrumentals, mating soul samples with vocal loops. Each track is named for a different "hot chick," from Arcadia Lake to Paula Patton. The cuts are slinky, uber-sexy and incredibly well arranged. The drums are tantalizing on "Vanessa Del Rio," and the clip from Jay-Z's "Girl's Best Friend" is apropos of everything Del Rio-related. The track dedicated to Mila Kunis, meanwhile, is soft, natural and dizzying, just like the actress herself, while Turner Jackson turns in a sexually descriptive verse on "Traci Lords." The bass lines are raunchy, and the drums are sexually charged, sultry at times and understated at others. If there's an ideal instrumental album out there, GirlGrabbers just made it. Ladies, this one's for you. —

The Smarter Schools web site highlights and advances the work of Ohio Smart Schools that led to significant reforms in Ohio to promote efficiency and effectiveness in education. The Ohio Smart Schools initiative was spearheaded by Andrew Benson for KnowledgeWorks and Ohio Education Matters beginning in 2010 and undergirds the Smarter Schools work.
Ohio is at a crossroads on its path to personalizing education, and taking steps now to usher in high-quality blended learning is the right step.
The Learning Accelerator and 2Revolutions created a framework to help organizations build a culture of innovation.

Educators are being asked to change decades of teaching practice to do more for students with fewer resources. Telling the story of their struggle is illuminating for those outside the classroom and worthy of attention. Smarter Schools will carry on a storytelling tradition as innovation spreads through classrooms in Ohio.
The Learning Accelerator released its framework to help states implement blended learning. "A Framework for Cultivating High-Quality Blended Learning at the State Level" outlines 7 levers states can use to advance this innovation.
The California-based non-profit has partnered with Reynoldsburg City Schools to create a pilot for blended learning.
The Ohio Blended Learning Network has grown to 42 members representing more than 234,000 students across the state - from a small charter school in Cleveland to the state's largest school district. They are bonded by their interest in implementing high-quality blended learning in their classrooms.

Panasonic still launches Android smartphones: meet the dual SIM P31
Running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the Panasonic P31 sports a 5-inch display with 480 x 854 pixels, so it's obvious that it's not targeted at users who are looking for advanced features. The handset is powered by a quad-core MediaTek MT6582M processor clocked at 1.3GHz. It further comes with an 8MP rear camera, VGA front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support (up to 32GB), and a 2,000 mAh battery (there's an Ultimate Saver feature that helps you save battery life). Connectivity-wise, the P31 offers HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, and Bluetooth 4.0.
The Panasonic P31 will be launched in India next week for about $196, coming in two color versions: white and "bluish black." We don't know if the new smartphone is going to be released anywhere else.

They are not designing their own phones anymore (apart from the toughpad/toughbook series). They are just rebranding Chinese smartphones and selling them in the developing countries.

5. techaman (unregistered)
kishin are you for real panasonic is like the samsung they make and own everything there is a new though phone but it cost almost a thousand dollars.

I know, they make all manner of appliances, stereo equipment, cordless phones, TVs, DVD and bluray players, VCRs, etc. They're in the same league as Samsung, LG, Sony, Sharp, etc. I never thought I'd ever see someone who hadn't heard of them. IIRC, they made cheaper phones sold on Verizon under the Pantech brand, offering the cheapest 4G LTE phones for a time.
7. VZWuser76 (Posts: 1883; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
After a quick search, it appears that Pantech and Panasonic are different companies and have no association. Maybe Pantech is hoping people will associate them with Panasonic, similar to car audio companies like Soundstorm (Sounstream), Rockwood (Rockford Fosgate and Kenwood), etc. Can't say that for certain though.

Wow, that screen resolution is horrific. My 5-inch ZTE Supreme is bad enough with a 720p display, I don't know why they would make a 5-inch smartphone with 200ppi density.

lyrics for We're Pirates - Arrrggg! by AUDIO WEAPON.
Well we sailed the bounty main searching for fame
And will sink anything in the kings name
We'll all have a locker down with Davey Jones
Becuase we fly the skull and cross bones
Cause we're pirates arrrgg
Cause we're pirates arrrgg
Cause we're pirates arrrgg
Shiver me timbers
I wear a rag because I'm bald
My sire was 19 when he was keel hauled
My mother was 16 a strapin young lass
She got 20 lashes tie her to the mizzen mast
Never you'll be knowin from hence came
We bear the jolly roger as our only name
We'll do anything for a jamacan rum keg
Because our captain he have a wooden leg
We have many a chest of golden dubloons
We buried them deep on the east lagoon
And never you'll be seein so many pieces of eight
And if you be squakin you're gonna be shark bait
Fought a Man O War and how fast she sank
Then we gets the captain and makes him walk the plank
We'll go down in legend and so they say
But me and the parrot wouldn't have it any other way

|Arizona Cardinals release TE Todd Heap
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 04 December 2012 12:13
Heap appeared in just two games with Arizona this season, catching eight passes for 94 yards. Over the past two seasons with the Cardinals, Heap appeared in 12 games, catching 32 passes for 377 yards and one touchdown.
A first-round draft pick by Baltimore out of Arizona State in 2001, he played for the Ravens for 10 seasons. He was an All-Pro selection in 2002 and made the Pro Bowl in 2002 and 2003. Heap is the Ravens' career leader in receiving touchdowns and second in receptions and yards receiving. He was released by Baltimore following the 2010 season.
To fill the roster spot, Arizona signed former San Diego tight end Kory Sperry.

After the 3 Eye Lugs, we present today the Comme des Garcons Junya Watanabe MAN Suede Wingtip Brogues for Fall/Winter 2011. Just like the lugs, these also come in a sand and a brown suede colorway, featuring leather outer soles and a leather lining. The leather soles feature a layer of rubber, to add comfort to the shoe. Also these seem a little less pointy than your usual brogue, taking away a bit of elegance and adding a little more everyday look to them. You can purchase these now from the Union Los Angeles online store.

If you occasionally surf to our online home, you may have already noticed some big changes. We rolled out a new website a few weeks ago, and we're all very excited about it. We've been talking about it for years. I have personally responded to about a hundred email messages on the topic, and I was only involved with one part of the big picture. It was interesting to see up close how expanding technology can lead to expanding expectations. The first time I participated in a web-related project, we were happy to hack around typing tags in manually with emacs. Later we were overjoyed to witness the dawn of the WYSIWYG era and the arrival of a few simple layout tools. Now the rise of content-management systems brings a whole new flexibility, which requires a whole new approach. Since each article is not just text but is more like a record in a database, the possibilities for building new features are nearly endless – especially if you are ready to do a little coding. In fact, the opportunities for innovation are limited only by the time available for writing code, troubleshooting code, and emailing each other about what to do next.

"Just realized Whitney Port designed my invites and that makes send why I love them so much. I have always loved her style. Invites are beautiful and great quality. SHipment was fast. and they customized mine just as I asked."
"It was simple to drag pictures onto this card. I loved the feedback I received from mthe designer before my order was processed. I really like the thickness of the paper but if I were to do it again I would order glossy paper. People who have seen the invite love it and we absolutely love the invitations as well!"
"We wanted a single card invitation and was happy to find this one! Got married in the fall yet we did not want fall colors but eggplant... this design had both the color and the leaves design. Single card on quality card stock. We added our own additional info about website etc.with a label on the back. We were also able to change the front text. The design team was very helpful. Invites commented often on how lovely the invitation was and even wore the color scheme to the wedding. Also using the thank you cards in the suite. Very happy with Wedding Paper Divas!"
"Would recommend this design to friends. We love it. We chose the purple colour, pearl white shimmer and rounded edges which I think all look great. We have had so many compliments. WDP were great to deal with. We requested a number of formatting changes to our invite, which WPD all did first go, we did not need to request any more changes."
"The Earthly Paradise design evokes regal beauty while clearly displaying the text. This could be improved by offering a silver themed color combo, as well."

China ETF 'PEK' in Focus
We've been following the CSI 300 for quite some time in advance of this ETF being issued and are glad to see it available. It best features the investment climate within China itself beyond most China-related ETFs popular and widely followed.
A more critical issue is the 13.87% premium PEK is currently trading at over the index. This large premium has been at around this level (low of near 9% to a high of near 20%) since issuance. For ETF investors, this may be off-putting since wide swings lead to tracking inefficiencies.
The Missing LinkThe primary reason for the premium is Van Eck does not have a QFII (Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor) license permitting it to deal in buying A-shares. Until it receives this license, it must go through an intermediary with that license (in this case Credit Suisse Securities (Europe) to gain exposure to the index.
It's an intriguing and important issue. Van Eck was smart to cover this index before competitors. It may be most investors will be content to wait for QFII license to be issued. In the meantime, investors should have their eyes on this issue. Over the long term, an issue like PEK may be the most direct way to invest in growing Chinese markets.

A group of Paradise Valley residents is launching a petition drive to oppose what they call high-density development on resort properties.
The problem, according to town officials and developers, is that such drives could mean the end of Paradise Valley resorts, which provide a large amount of the town's income and prevent it from imposing a municipal property tax.
"I think the concept of releasing (California killer Charles) Manson from prison would be a more popular proposition than letting Paradise Valley resorts die and imposing a property tax," said Jason Rose, spokesman for Crown Realty and Development, which is working on two resort properties.
The Citizens Forum, a nonprofit organization made up of concerned residents, will circulate petitions in neighborhoods. They also will be outside of AJ's Fine Foods at Lincoln Drive and Scottsdale Road from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and May 5.
The petition outlines the group's opposition to residential units being built on resort properties and is directed at such projects as Mountain Shadows, Montelucia and Ritz Carlton. Each of the projects includes residential units.
The group claims the residences destroy the rural character of the town and violate the town code, which stipulates that single-family homes be built on lots of no less than one acre.
"The developers are getting a pass on high-density housing," said Citizens Forum president Jim Otto. "They're dressed up to look like a resort."
While the town does have a rule regarding areas zoned residential, resorts have different zoning that allows for four units on one lot, said Mayor Ed Winkler. There are at least three subdivisions at resorts that fall under that description and have been in the town for years, Winkler said.
"That is very dangerous water," he said of the outcry against resort homes.
Most resorts today have some sort of residential component and if they were outlawed in Paradise Valley, the town could lose a viable source of income.
"If they are successful in taking this to its full execution, we will have a property tax in Paradise Valley," he said.
Winkler said the town collects about 40 percent of its income from bed and sales taxes, which come from the resorts. The Town Council also plans to be more conservative when considering redevelopment plans for resorts in the future, he added.
Otto said he moved to Paradise Valley for the lifestyle. He worries higher density homes would bring traffic, noise and constant rebuilding.
"Some people would just as soon have a property tax," he said. "Why do we have to give this up?"

Sounkyo Onsen
Sōunkyō Onsen (層雲峡温泉) [1] is a hot spring resort nestled in the Sōun Gorge (層雲峡 Sōun-kyō) of the Daisetsuzan National Park in Hokkaido, Japan. It is in the municipal area of Kamikawa town (上川町).
Given its location deep in a national park and a name meaning Cloudy Gorge, for many visitors the actual Sounkyo Onsen is a disappointment. The curse of development is indeed evident: the modern town with its multi-storey concrete hotels is an eyesore, and the endless procession of tour groups through the gorge itself doesn't exactly enhance the wonders of nature.
That said, with lowered expectations Sounkyo Onsen does fulfill what it promises: it's first and foremost a hot spring resort, with cool mountain air and steam rising from the vents in the streets, and it's an excellent base for starting (or, better yet, ending) treks through the national park. Much of the center of the town has also been recently landscaped with a fairly pleasant, mildly Swiss-flavored touch.
Get in[edit]
By bus[edit]
The only means of public transport into the gorge is bus or car. Departures to the nearest major city Asahikawa (taking 2 hours, Y1950) and Kamikawa train station(30 minutes, Y800) are fairly frequent.
Get around[edit]
Sounkyo Onsen and its nearby attractions are best covered on foot, although you might want to rent a bicycle for visiting the gorge itself. A cable car runs most of the way up neighboring Mount Kurodake.
See[edit][add listing]
Sounkyo Onsen is known and named after the nearby gorge, which runs for 24 kilometers along the Ishikari River and features some pretty waterfalls and interesting lava formations. The gorge is located to the east of town, an easy walk or bike trip of a few kilometers along a disused highway. Entry is free, so head here early in the morning to beat the tour bus brigade... or just head further down into the gorge, past the few falls frequented by everybody.
Do[edit][add listing]
Sounkyo Onsen is a popular starting point for hikes into the Daisetsuzan National Park. Be sure to stop off at the Visitor Center, next to the cable car station, before heading up.
Hot springs[edit]
If hiking or skiing sounds like too much hard work, try resting your weary bones in one of the many hot springs in town.
Buy[edit][add listing]
Eat & Drink[edit]
There are a number of basic restaurants in town.
Sleep[edit][add listing]
There is no shortage of fancy hot spring accommodation in towns, but fortunately there's one pretty good budget option as well.
Stay safe[edit]
While there are bears in the surrounding Daisetsuzan National Park, they're generally smart enough to stay far away from town.

As hard as it is to believe, the politics of the war in Syria has gotten even more dysfunctional. Vice President Joe Biden has now apologized both to the leader of Turkey and United Arab Emirates after correctly stating – publicly – that the two nations bare considerable responsibility for the jihadists operating in Syria. It has been an open secret since the civil war began in Syria that Turkey and the Sunni gulf states were a significant source of money, arms, and recruits flowing to insurgents that were fighting the Iran-aligned Assad government.

Osho continues:
"They cannot meet.
"Sometimes, even if you try to understand Mahavira, Buddha, Jesus, you try to understand them in terms of money. Jainas go on relating how much Mahavira renounced – 'how much' is the point. If Mahavira had been the son of a beggar, no Jaina would worship him. He was the son of a great king. He had a big kingdom, much money, gold, diamonds – and he renounced them. Suddenly he becomes important to you. The importance is in the money that he renounced, not in him.
"Even if you approach Mahavira, you approach him through money. What an absurdity. And then Jainas go on emphasizing the fact, exaggerating it, because the kingdom was really not so great. It was a small principality – because in India at that time there were two thousand kingdoms – it was just like a small district. And Mahavira's father was also not very rich, but rich, of course. When first they looked at Mahavira because he had renounced the money, he became very important. Then they started to exaggerate the amount of money that he had renounced. And now they have gone to fantastic, absurd lengths; whatsoever they say is simply wrong. And then Mahavira becomes important through the money he renounces. What is really important in your eyes?
"Why does it happen that not a single tirthankara of the Jainas comes from an ordinary family? – all the twenty-four are the sons of kings. Why does it happen that not a single poor man could become a Hindu avatar? Why only Rama, Krishna – the kings? Why does it happen that not a single poor man could become a Buddha – only Gautam Siddhartha, the prince? How does it happen?
"All three religions were born in India, and they are the greatest! Not that a tirthankara is not born in a poor family, but you will not recognize him. Not that a buddha is not born in a beggar's house, but if he is, you will not recognize him. Your recognition can only be through the money he renounces. Buddha is worthless – the money he renounces is the real thing. That attracts you, that hypnotizes you."

Asia Stocks Rise As Investors Cheer US Jobs Data
By PAMELA SAMPSON
BANGKOK (AP) â¿¿ Asian stock markets rose Monday after a surprisingly strong U.S. jobs report pushed Wall Street stocks to new highs. Malaysian shares jumped after the country's ruling political alliance won national elections.
The Dow Jones industrial average and the Standard & Poor's 500 index both rose to record highs Friday after the Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added 165,000 workers last month and many more in February and March than previously estimated. The unemployment rate fell to 7.5 percent, which was the lowest level in four years.
The report counterbalanced weeks of mixed signals about manufacturing and corporate earnings and renewed hopes of a recovery in the world's largest economy."The dichotomy between hard economic data and asset market performance continues but unlike over past weeks at least there was some justification for the rally in equity markets following the stronger than expected US April jobs report," said a market commentary from Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong. Malaysia's KLSE Composite surged 2.9 percent to 1,744.50 after the country's governing coalition won national elections, albeit with a weakened majority, to extend its unbroken, 56-year rule. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 1.1 percent to 22,932.93. South Korea's Kospi was 0.3 percent higher at 1,972.27. Australia's S&P/ASX advanced 1 percent to 5,178.80.

If you needed yet another reason to love Supernatural star Jensen Ackles, this hilariously awkward cowboy-themed photo shoot from 1999 will definitely do the trick. Back when he was on the soap opera Days of Our Lives , Jensen did a portrait session that involved a lot of horses, lassos, shirtless poses, and of course his epic facial expressions .

Six years have past since Hilde Hefte released the album An evening in Prague together with jazz quartet and The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra; a record which got the most wonderful reviews from all around the world.
So what do you do after such a success? Well, Hilde turns around and do the quite opposite and take the music down to either standing alone in her music or in a duo format.
This record is like a collection of short stories therefore the album title.
Hilde is saying: It is either duo-converstations or conversations with myself. This is something I had to do. I had to challenge myself to be able to move on."
The album contains genres we believe some of you are not expecting to find on a Hefte album, and you will also find constellations almost never recorded in the genre of jazz before; like duo harp and vocal.
On harp is the well known Norwegian harpist Sidsel Walstad and she is performing some outstanding harp-arrangements written by Egil Kapstad.
This time Hilde is doing a lot more herself – she is writing most of the music arrangements herself, playing several of the instruments and last, but not the least; singing several tracks a cappella.
To receive the dimension and the depth she wanted for this album she decided to bring in a much younger person than herself to be the producer. She chose Simen Hefte Endresen. And what a clever move to bring in a person who is listening to music in a different manner than herself.
Simen is Hilde's son and she is saying, it is very special being able to work with your son on such premises, and at the same time knowing you didn't ask him because he is your son, but because he's one of the best."
Challenging project for Hefte? Yes!
Genre-wise it goes from jazz, alternative and pop-music to folk-tunes, but we have to say; you will find several really wonderful jazz ballads too.
Is she happy? Yes!
Hefte quote: More than happy; and at the same time very proud. I have done something I've never done before, because I've been afraid to try; so on these premises this album is the best I've ever recorded."

Dr. Oleg Klipitch's Ratings
This office has 3 or 4 receptionists; however, I was not able to reach them when I tried to book an appointment. I left a message, but no one called me back the same day. Really unprofessional and disorganised staff.

if you need an appointment you'll get it the same day. has the best specialists that he will make see you the next day if it is an emergency. would never go to another doctor. very knowledgeable in sports medicine and does not ask you idiotic questions like other doctors "why do you lift so much weight?" or "why do you do this?". yes, his clinic is a business like anything in this country so dont be surprised by that. however, if you need qualified help you wont care about the business side.

The basic impression of this doctor that he is in it only for money and status.
His business is a well lubed money making machine.
The prescriptions are faxed directly to his pharmacy store in the same building. Never offered to you to shop elsewhere. Hardly competitive prices.
Also, his wife runs a dental clinic there. I was "encouraged" to take my child for a "free" check up.
I found there was an alert on my blood analysis only a year later by accident when I came for another appointment, luckily, with one of his subs.
Most of the time you only see the doctor after his assistant takes all the information and does
an exam.

I had a chance to work with Dr. Klipich this summer as a part of my residency training. It turned out to be one of the highlights in my medical training. As a fellow graduate of McMaster medical school, Dr. Klipich uses latest medical knowledge and interpersonal skills to provide excellent medical service in a friendly way. The patients are also surrounded by helpful staff and a team of first-rate physicians. In short, I believe Dr. Klipich serves as an example of an excellent family doctor.

I have been a patient at Dr OK Medical Centre for about 5 years. Over the years Dr Klipich was able to organize a consulting medical centre staffed with high class specialists. He even organized a center of cardiology. I am a patient of Dr Belsky. She is treating me very professionally, very attentive to my requests. I feel love and kindness towards me from all staff at the clinic. It is also very convenient to have pharmacy on premises. I wish everyone in Toronto to have the same doctors like in Dr OK medical Centre.

Doctor Klipitch has been my and my child's family doctor for last 3-4 years. He is exceptionally knowledgeable, professional and caring person. I had experience with at least three family doctors prior to becoming a patient of Dr.Klipitch and without a doubt can say that he is much more superior to any of those doctors that I knew before. He is unbeatable when it comes to the broadness of medical knowledge, quickness of referrals, advanced connections within the medical community and thoroughness of follow-ups. His previous surgical/urological experience from Europe is yet another great asset making him a great choice for any one looking for a reliable family doctor.

He is a very good person, he knows how to deal with any patient. He also explains things in detail and he always tells you which specialist to see, depending on your problem. And also Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year! :)

My family members have been patients of Dr. Klipitc for over 4 years. Dr. Klipitc always conducts himself in a professional manner. He is compassionate, patient, and knowledgeable. He is a real Family physician. He gives good advice on ways to maintain good health and provides realistic suggestions to follow. He always listens and doesn't rush trough the appointment. Dr. Klipitc diagnosed my health problem and sent me to see specialist in St. Joseph hospital. Mira

As a 2nd year medical student I had a 2 week horizontal elective with Dr Klipitch who runs a busy primary care centre. Dr Klipitch possesses impressive clinical & academic expertise. He doesn't hesitate to explain the fine points of medicine in a friendly & relaxed manner. He closely follows the latest in evidence-based practices & research. Dr Klipitch never rushes the patients. While some problems can be managed in a 7min visit, most require more time to ensure nothing is missed. Dr Klipitch and his admin/assistant staff are fluent in English, Russian, Ukrainian & Polish. There is a positive & congenial atmosphere amongst physicians & staff. Facility is spacious & clean, with modern equipment. Dr Klipitch uses electronic medical record system for efficient & quick transfer of information. Location is very convenient. Dentistry, Pharmacy & Physiotherapy are also on site. In short, everything is done to ensure highest quality of care. It was an excellent learning experience.

Several Cubs might be headed out of town soon
BY GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com May 26, 2013 8:23PM
Chicago Cubs v Cincinnati Reds
Updated: May 26, 2013 10:33PM
CINCINNATI — As soon as manager Dale Sveum said he didn't like the new four-games-and-done format for the Cubs-White Sox
series this year, he got the inevitable ''clown'' question:
You'd rather have the circus come to town twice?
''Yeah. I always liked circuses,'' Sveum said.
Imagine if he had been around for the days of the Ozzie Guillen and Lou Piniella sideshows, the Michael Barrett and A.J. Pierzynski fisticuffs, the Carlos Zambrano anger mismanagement and the Milton Bradley outbursts.
A lot more than the format has changed in a Cubs-Sox series that has seen its glory days pass it by. Instead, the malaise of swaggerless teams in transition takes center stage Monday for the first of two games at U.S. Cellular Field before the series heads to Wrigley Field for two more.
The Cubs bring no controversy, no big personalities and no chance to score without their pitchers hitting at an American League park. And when they head north to Wrigley — heck, not even the Red Line is working.
As Zambrano once famously said: ''We stinks.''
So if you're just starting to pay attention to the Cubs after recovering from that post-Bulls hangover, get a good look this week while you can. Because for all the manufactured hoopla of the four-day series, the next show under the Cubs' big top likely will involve president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer making half the roster disappear in July.
Now you see him, now you don't? Keep your eye on the short-term asset with the hot-hand value and say the magic word: ''foundationforsustainedsuccess.''
And — poof! — who's gone?
Scott Feldman: National pundits already have projected the right-hander as the top starting pitcher in early trading-season speculation. Feldman was one of the hottest pitchers in baseball for five starts until being cooled off
Friday by the Reds. At 4-4 with a 2.80 ERA, he's still an attractive player for a contender in need of starting pitching, and his one-year contract was made for flipping.
Kevin Gregg: The pleasant-
surprise closer, who was signed last month after being released by the Los Angeles Dodgers, doesn't project as a closer for a contender, scouts say. But with his experience and the way he has pitched for the Cubs (no earned runs in 14 outings), he's looking more each day like a valuable piece for a setup crew on a contending team.
David DeJesus: Scouts say the steady veteran with the .345 on-base percentage, left-handed bat and versatile skills in the outfield should be regarded highly enough this summer to net a decent prospect without the need to be packaged in a deal (as the Cubs did with Reed Johnson last season).
Matt Garza: He's the most
interesting man in the clubhouse this trading season. Scouts say Garza easily is the Cubs' most
desirable trading chip if he proves his elbow problems are behind him and pitches better than he did in the fourth inning Sunday. But he also might be a candidate for an extension or a qualifying offer as a free agent if the Cubs decide to make him a core guy or don't get strong-enough trade offers for him.
Carlos Marmol: The embattled former closer with about $6.5 million left on his contract isn't considered reliable enough to pursue even if he's pitching well by July, scouts say. But if Marmol pitches enough scoreless innings, such as the one he tossed in the sixth Sunday, the Cubs might have reason to dream about a scenario in which they get a second-tier prospect while picking up the balance of his contract.

Ooooo, so hard to pick!!!
So, there are a few new things about me. How about you?
It's been quite a couple of weeks. I am finally training myself to get enough sleep (at least 7 to 8 hours a night). In the past two weeks I only missed on night and that was close. I've been back to tracking my food...mostly staying near the top of my range, but the holiday weight has come off, even with the minimal exercise I've been doing.
Faced a tough situation this eek, and I think I made it through with flying colors. A year ago, I would have beat myself up and got on a binge and who knows what else, but I've gained so much from Spark...much more so than just how to treat my body better, but also to respect and treat myself better. A dear old friend made some hurtful assumptions and accusations toward me in an e-mail that had me reeling for a day or two. I even cried and for a short moment, I almost bought into her misrepresentations. Then, I took a step back and looked at the situation, and although there were hurtful things said, I did not take them too much to heart. I did not beat myself up or eat like there was no tomorrow or attempt to sooth the emotional hurt in any destructive way at all. I thought the situation through, confronted her in a kind and concerned way today, and at least as far as I can control, I think I got the air cleared between us. I would never have had the guts or the where with all to do that a year ago. What was a misunderstanding and a hurt would have permanently destroyed our friendship and sent me into a self-destructive tailspin, but not today. Today, I know that I am so much more than what other people may think I am or may want me to be....and I love me for that!
I have also got the start of a plan for my fitness going. Tomorrow I do day one of my training plan to get myself ready for the B210K. I will be packing up the workout gear and heading to the fitness center on my way home from work. I get a good bench mark in the 1/2 hr to 45 mins of how much ground I may have lost. I am signed up for a 10K on Apr 16th, and I know with focus, that I can do this. It's on that same tough course as my fall 5K from last year...the one they call "challenging"...with the one mile hill from hell to start the course. After that, I'll do a couple more races during the spring/summer and I have already signed up for the Chicago half-marathon on Sept 11th. I was hoping to do a charity run with TNT but it requires that you can accumulate $750. worth of donations and I'[m not quite sure at this point that I can gather that much support. I will probably already be "hitting up" some family and friends to help raise funds for a mission trip within the next 12 months, so funds being tight all the way around, I am still deciding if I will try for the Team in Training too.
For the first time in quite a few weeks, I feel like I have my focus back. I know that I have alot of work to do in the next few weeks...and then again this summer to be ready for the half, but now that I have a plan in place that I think I can realistically stick with, I know that I can do it!
Thanks Spark friends for keeping me trudging along and believing in me. You all have inspired me so, to not settle but to keep shooting for the best me possible. HERE I GO!!!
It seems like an eternity since I've had a day off work that wasn't packed from start to finish with chores and errands and things to do to try to get caught up. In fact, even today I was out the door by 7:30 to go to a ladies house to pick up a pant suit that she can no longer wear and a couple of blouses. From there, I went to the church where they were having a monthly ladies brunch type event with a speaker. I've been meaning to go to one of these, but it's at our churches main campus which is at least a half hour to forty minutes north of the house. Since it was going to be a lower key day though, I figured that I could make the trip and then since I would be out that way, I would exchange a Christmas gift at a store up there and stop at Trader Joes for more of their wonder peanut flour.
The speaker, today, was a man by the name of Dave Bauer. He is the owner of a business called Integrated Fitness Solutions, and he was speaking on the body-mind-spirit triangle as it relates to practical exercise tips for our bodies, the emotional aspect of why we eat what we eat, and what it means to live and eat healthy from a Christian perspective. He is a Nationally Certified Counselor and Personal Trainer with multiple accreditations, and he combines these skills in his business to help people achieve there physical, as well as mental and spiritual health goals. He and his team have personal training sessions and boot camps, and he also does one on one type of consultations.
Throughout his talk, he hit on what our resting and base matabolism rates should be as well as our calorie needs and what our fat carb and protein breakdowns should be. Much of this, of course, I had a good grip on already from the year I've spsent here on Spark, although he does recommend a lower percentage of calories from carbs and a higher percent from protein than what the nutrition planner guidlines recommend. I've been adjusting that recently anyway...trying to get the proteins to the higher end while keeping the carbs on the lower side. (That's tough to do while still keeping the fats in line). He discussed the super foods and what should be staples in our diets, and serveral times in the morning referred back to Spark People. He even asked if anyone in the audience had heard or used Sparkpeople, and of course, my hand SHOT up. He aske dme what Spark had done for me, and I was more than happy to let this wonderful group of ladies know that for FREE, Spark has helped me to lose 40+ lbs...has kept me at or below my goal weight....has made me mindful of everything that I put into my body and what I can expect of my body in terms of eating and fitness and health to a MUCH greater extent. It has been the cause of my body shrinking, but tremendous growth in sooo many other areas of my life, in fitness, self-confidence, the ability to set and achieve goals, organization. For me, Spark definitely helps balance the body-mind-spirit triangle. I got so excited talking to a couple of the ladies, I totally forgot about the other errands that I had planned to do on that trip. I was in too big a hurry to get home and e-mail them with the Spark links.
I only hope that they get as much out of this marvelous program as I have....it is soooo cool to see a professional in the field of healthy living "spreading the spark"....even when he doesn't need to, but just because he, too, recognizes the value it has added to so many lives!
I know I have not been as active on Spark recently as I have been....yes, life around the holidays does get hectic....but then mine always seems to be. I have been suffering from a terminally slow internet connection, which, hopefully as of today has been remedied. I was fairly able to check and get through a few e-mails etc. each morning before work, but in the evening, I could barely log onto the site and even short responses were sometimes too much for the system to process and the slow speed would repeatedly kick me off or not load items. Sometimes to track a meal would take multiple attempts and up to 10-15 or more minutes to enter.
I am so grateful for the faithfulness of all you spark friends that have stuck with me....I promise to get caught up with you all by this weekend. Now that the new system can handle downloading blogs etc, I will catch up and respond to each and everyone of you.
For now though, I'm hitting the sack....have a meeting an hour away in the morning with a contact in the fitness field. Maybe some hope for a connection there. Pretty excited that I don't have to get up 1/2 hr - 45 minutes early to clear out the "essential" e-mails. This is going to be one exciting week!
Keep Sparking! I'll "spark" at you soon!
This was a wonderful Christmas. My sisters actually came to church this year, and although our worship at my church is a little louder than they are used to at their Cathoic church, they did listen to and heard the sermon message and for me, that was aboout the best present ever! We finally got the family on board with limiting the money spent on gifts this year. Well, at least improved. We had set a $25 per person limit, so I got one sister the perfume set she wanted and the other a nice pair of sky gloves....some smart shopping, coupns and rebates kept me within a couple of dollars of the limits plus, I made each ones favorite candy. It took a couple of attempts to get the habanero peanut brittle right for the younger one, but both were happily surprised and pleased, so the time, effort and energy were well spsent. I even managed to stay away from both candies after the obligatory SMALL taste to make sure that they were right.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve eve, I did lighting for the services at church (after work), so Christmas day we stayed in jammies and watched movies and didn't really make the big traditional meal. I set out a veggies tray first thing in the morning with salsa and a lowfat hummus dip and then we just had nibbles throughout the day. That made it easier for me to have small tastes of the croissant, nut breads etc and then fill up on other healthier options. Of course, by the time I added a small glass of egg nog, a piece of pecan pie and a little ice cream, by the end of the day, I was over where I should have been in calories, but NO WHERE near where I would "normally" have been.
Yesterday was church in the morning, then my sisters and I went to one of our favority restaurants for their seasonal "gingerbread milkshake". I know that that also threw me over for calories, but I watched it the rest of the day. We went to see The Voyage of the Dawn Treader-3D. It was at a theater that I hadn't been to in a couple decades. They have completely changed and now they have large office type chairs and serve food and drinks. My older sis had to have popcorn, but I let them keep it down by them and only had a couple of handfuls with my diet coke which I was able to portion out and put on the table in front of me. Seeing the amount that I was eating really helped me to keep my portion to a reasonable amount.
This week we are supposed to have a nice warm up for Thursday and Friday. Maybe even going into the forties for Friday. I'm anxious to get outside for a run Thurday...a friend from church got my MP3 going again and my little sis got me a fuel belt for Christmas, so I am anxious to see how all my "gear" and fuel etc work together and that the belt fits properly.
New Year's and New Year's Eve I work, and of course the family will get together. It shouldn't be as dangerous nutritionally though and this week, I will put together a plan that I can shoot for in 2011 to continue to improve on the fitness and get a better balance on my eating habits.
I hope you all had as marevelous a Christmas as we did and that you are blessed beyond compare this coming New Year!

This is one great helmet. This will be the one I wear all the time. But if you order this helmet order one size larger then what you usely wear, had to return the medium I had order for a large. But it was worth the wait.

Ash Kearns
Welcome to Ash Kearns Handknitting, "Delightful designs for the inspired knitter"!
About my designs: My collection features unique accessories that highlight an interesting pattern stitch or special techniques. Many of my patterns include tips and references about skills used such as buttonholes, chart reading, and cast-on/bind-off options. All my patterns are edited and tested.
To retailers: All my patterns are enabled for in-store ravelry sales. My patterns are also available wholesale in print. I differentiate my product by using high-quality card stock in a folded 8 x 11, making an attractive displayable alternative to single sheets in a plastic sleeve. My cover page is boldly colored with all the spec information displayed clearly and with great photos. My patterns use popular yarns that are easy to substitute. Please contact me at email@example.com for more details.
If you have any questions or comments, feel free to stop by my ravelry group, Ash Kearns Handknitting, to chat. Or you are welcome to PM me or email firstname.lastname@example.com
I look forward to knitting with you!
