Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
If you love ballet so much, why focus on pole dancing? Miss Lonelyhearts
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm 16, a hard worker, good student and a lover of dance. I took ballet classes for several years as a child but stopped. I clearly remember that I was frustrated because I couldn't dance with the "big girls" and felt it was going too slowly. I was eight, and I left during the year. I'm taking a beginner class now and love it, though I understand that becoming a professional ballerina is impossible at this point, but it's awakened a resentment for my parents I can't shut out. I can't believe they let me drop out in the middle of the year like they did, which let down my teacher and is very rude. Someone should have lovingly explained to me, "You might be restless, but you can't leave your class before the year is over," and "You need to learn the basics first, your body isn't ready for adult dancing like pointe," and then maybe put me in gymnastics classics to cure my boredom. If they had supported me more, it easily could have gone somewhere. I'm determined to work with what I have and become a pole dancer, but it's still very difficult and the people who started young will always have an advantage. I can't make up for lost time and I have a bitter taste in my mouth. I should have been taught more discipline and focus. How can I concentrate on the positive, and let this grudge go? -- Shake It Till I Make It, Winnipeg
Dear Shake It: Something doesn't make sense here. If ballet is what you truly love, why divert your energies into pole dancing? Take modern dance and ballet and choreography -- all the challenging formal dance classes you can. As for your parents, they had no way of knowing you would one day want to be a serious dancer when you were crying with frustration at eight years old. Parents don't go into training to become parents. They make mistakes. If they had forced you to keep dancing when you were so frustrated, you might have resented them terribly. Talk to the most understanding parent first, and then the other other one and get this out in the open. If you need help building up to that confrontation, talk to your guidance counsellor at school and get this all out in the open, and resolved.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I bit my boyfriend's cheek when I was mad at him on the weekend, and now he has teeth marks in a moon shape across his cheek. He told me, "You're nuts and we're through." At university, he won't talk to me. He says he hasn't bad-mouthed me but my actions speak louder than words. He says his mother hates me for this. Why won't he forgive me? It was a fight, for God's sake! I cried, and said I was sorry after. What more does he need? He says I need to see a shrink. I don't! -- Sorry, But Not Crazy. Winnipeg
Dear Sorry: Biting someone's face is a serious red flag. You do need to see a psychiatrist or psychologist. You went over the line of normal behaviour, and you're not really remorseful. This guy is finished with you -- you can't blame him and you must respect his wish not to see you. The sirens went off in his head and he's done. That is the consequence for your violent action, which is a form of assault. See your family physician and get a referral to a therapist. Get the help you need, and be as co-operative as you can be.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm 47 and have been dating younger women, in their late 20s or early 30s who I meet online, no problem. They have a hard time keeping up to me and they all want relationships with me. I'm sick and tired of older women complaining about my not looking for someone my own age. The reason is simple, but women won't like it -- younger women are better looking. I keep myself in excellent physical shape -- go to the gym six days a week and run long distance five days as well. I deserve a woman with a great body and the brightness that goes with getting lots of exercise. I don't want an older, overweight woman. If older women want a guy like me to look at them, they have to do the work to stay young. Now someone has finally told the truth. What do you say to that? -- Never Fitter, 47, South End
Dear Never Fitter: If, as you believe, people should only get what they deserve, then you deserve someone who is fit like you and shallow enough to find the way you think attractive. It's interesting you never have a relationship going with any of these bright, attractive young women. Are you really doing all the rejecting? It's doubtful! It would be interesting to hear responses from other people to your ideas -- both men and women. Readers, please feel free to write in and we'll publish your responses in an upcoming column.

Absolutely wonderful experience. A short getaway was just what we needed, and we could not have picked a better place to enjoy it. We stayed in the spacious Frank TouVelle room overlooking the front grounds and Old Stage Road. Oh the history this home has seen!!!! Elegant and romantic great room with a warm and toasty fireplace, (original to the home!) was a perfect fit for an evening of relaxation. This won't be our last visit!! Thank you Jamie and Shawn for you warm and friendly hospitality! Vern and Linda Loy

What a beautiful home and grounds. So peaceful and the owners were so attentive and friendly! The location was perfect! Easy walk to shops and restaurants and what a great small town :) Breakfast and coffee were wonderful, can't wait to visit again soon!

This was a very nice place to stay in Jacksonville OR. The rooms were nice and the hosts were great. We were in town to visit family so we did not get as much time to explore as we would have wanted to. We will stay there again when we come back to the are to visit.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful B&B. My husband and I stayed here for a weekend away and fell in love with this place. The owners are kind and helpful. They catered to my special needs diet (gluten free). We will definitely be back!

Attention to detail and comfort are evident throughout TouVelle house, inside and out! Hosts Jamie and Shawn Kerr were professional and polite, and the beautiful home and grounds are as inviting after dark as they are during the day.

Decided to take a brief diversion from I-5 and were very pleased with our decision. A very spacious home with a comfortable room and delicious breakfast. Hostess was very gracious and helpful. Much nicer than a typical B&B.
4.4 on October 17, 2014
Everything was very nice! We especially liked the fact that we could walk to restaurants and shopping. Stayed in the room with 2 bedrooms, not that we needed 2 beds but because it was the last room available. It was nice having the second room for our suitcases and a little more space for dressing because the room with the queen bed was small. It had a large bathroom between the 2 rooms with a walk in shower. Breakfast was good and they offer options for your tastes and diet needs.

We stayed in the Frank TouVelle's Room and found it to be an elegant step back in time, without the feel of Grandma's house. The Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Tart for breakfast was a hit with everyone at the table. It was fun to start the day comparing experiences and chatting with the other guests.

The TouVelle House is the best and my favorite of the many B&Bs I know in California and Oregon. The house, gardens and pool are beautiful. The two rooms I've stayed in are exquisitely appointed with period furniture and decor. The comfortable beds guarantee a perfect night's sleep and only Jamie's delicious, creative breakfasts can lure me out of them! It is also a well located distance from Ashland to avoid its hub bub at this time of year. But what makes the TouVelle House exceptional are its innkeepers, Shawn and Jamie Kerr. Gracious, charming, unobtrusive and with a great sense of good humor, they both made our stay a pleasure. Shawn helped us with a punctured tire by checking the pressure then pumping it with enough air to get us to the tire shop he recommended, complete with a map. (By the way, the folks at Les Schwab in Medford were terrific and fast!) Jamie and Shawn are always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. Shawn's restaurant recs are spot on. They are so thoroughly professional and thoughtful, it's hard to believe they are new to inn keeping. I'm still basking in my wonderful, relaxing experience of the place, and already planning my next stay at the TouVelle House. SL Merrill

We had a perfect stay at TouVelle. The locations is ideal for walking to town, but is still quiet and peaceful. Everything was clean and organized and in excellent condition. Every detail was seen to, every amenity and accommodation was readily available. The breakfast was delicious, the room was wonderful, the innkeeper was attentive to every need but in no way intrusive. We will definitely stay here when we return to Jacksonville!

Government care vision underscores commitment to personalisation
Author: Jim Dunton, Local Government Chronicle - Nov 16, 2010
The government has set a target for councils to offer personal budgets to one million social care service users by 2013 as part of its vision for social care, unveiled today.
Care services minister Paul Burstow said he wanted to see everyone eligible for a personal budget to receive one by that date, preferably as a direct payment.
Mr Burstow said implementation of personal budgets had been slow over the past 14 years and that if the same rate was duplicated it would take until 2096 for everyone eligible to receive one.
We know that where personal budgets are in place people are more satisfied with the services they receive, he said.
He added that councils could offer more choice, control and flexibility over the care people received.
The vision which comes ahead of the Law Commissions review of social care legislation and the Commission on the Funding of Care and Support also includes:
- Increasing preventative action to keep people independent;
- Breaking down barriers between health and social care funding;
- Encouraging individuals, communities, and the voluntary sector to play a role in the delivery of social care.
Some 1.6m people in England currently receive some form of social care via their council. Of those around one million are thought to be suitable for a personal budget.
Jeff Jerome, national director for social care transformation, said he believed the governments 2013 target was achievable.
Richard Jones, president of the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services, said the seven key principles within the vision were ones that the association fully supported.
We want to secure a radical realignment of the way resources are used across public services, including the health service, to deliver agreed outcomes through integration and collaboration, he said.
Mr Jones said the vision would underpin and promote those changes.
David Rogers (Lib Dem), chair of the Local Government Associations Community Wellbeing Board, said personal budgets were a key part of the social care reform the LGA had long championed.
Being able to make them available for anyone who wants one can only be a good thing, he said.
But he added that the multi-billion pound shortfall councils expected in their care funding as part of the Spending Review left serious questions about the funding that was available to meet Whitehall targets.
In parallel to the social care vision, Mr Burstow also revealed £400m in funding for carers breaks would be part of the NHS additional Spending Review contribution to social care costs.
He also launched a consultation, Transparency in outcomes: a framework for adult social care, which looks at ways to improve the quality of services as part of the social care vision.
One are it focuses on is the future of adult social care performance reporting in the wake of the abolition of the Care Quality Commissions Annual Performance Assessments.

Fresh from a landslide re-election victory, President Rafael Correa hoped Monday to match it with a sweeping legislative win needed to clear the way for deeper socialist changes in Ecuador.
"Nobody is going to stop this revolution. We are making history," Correa told a crowd from the balcony of the presidential palace on Sunday, after clinching a new four-year term.
"We are building our small homeland, and a larger one, too," he said, referring to Latin America.
With 67 percent of the ballots counted in the oil-exporting South American nation, Correa was ahead with nearly 57 percent of the vote, compared to banker Guillermo Lasso's 23.3 percent.
Lasso, who served as finance minister during an economic crisis in the 1990s, conceded defeat shortly after the results were announced.
"Decent people like you, my family and my co-workers recognized the victories of others, and this night, I want to recognize the victory of President Rafael Correa," Lasso said.
Now the attention is turning to legislative election results, with Correa aiming for an absolute majority in the National Assembly, which would give him free rein to regulate the media, redistribute land and make other controversial changes.
The election process for the 137 assembly seats up for grabs is complex, and it is unclear how long it will take before definitive results are in.
But Citizen Participation, a non-governmental organization authorized by the election authorities, projected that Correa's Alianza Pais would win 90 seats, or 66 percent, and Lasso's Creating Opportunities movement, 12 seats, or nine percent.
A leftist firebrand in the mold of Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, the 49-year-old Correa is one of a group of leftist leaders who have shaken up Latin America in recent years with populist and often defiantly anti-US policies.
Correa dedicated his victory to Chavez, who made a surprise return home from Cuba overnight after 70 days in Cuba convalescing from cancer surgery.
He wished the Venezuelan a speedy recovery, saying, "Venezuela, your beloved Latin America and we, your friends, all need you."
In power since 2007, Correa has taken on big business and media groups, imposed new contracts on oil companies and renegotiated the country's debt while touting his poverty reduction efforts.
His clashes with the media have drawn sharp criticism from international rights and press groups.
But Correa has vowed to forge ahead with a new communication law that would redistribute radio and television frequencies and tighten regulations.
"We are going to try to make this an honest press, because there is a corrupt press here that is in the hands of a few families who think they can say whatever they want because they have a printing press," he warned after his re-election.
Last year, Correa irritated Britain and the United States by granting asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange -- who is wanted for questioning in Sweden over sexual assault allegations -- at Ecuador's embassy in London.
He broached the issue again Sunday by calling on Europe to quickly resolve the fate of Assange, who has been holed up at the embassy for eight months.
British Foreign Minister William Hague said London remains "remains fully committed to seeking a diplomatic solution" with Quito on securing Assange's extradition to Sweden.
Critics accuse Correa of scaring away foreign capital, pointing to his friendships with the leaders of Cuba and Venezuela, though he has been more pragmatic than his leftist allies.
Although soundly defeated, Lasso emerged from the elections as the most credible opposition candidate in a crowded field that included an ousted former president and the country's richest man.
"From zero, we've gone to being the second political force in Ecuador," Lasso said. "And now that we have more than a quarter of the population supporting us, I have no doubt we will become the country's first political force."
Correa, who cannot run for another term, acknowledged that the election had helped consolidate the opposition.
"We have to organize ourselves better because the forces that oppose this project are going to be organizing more to stop it," Correa told a rally of frenzied supporters.
"If we don't change Ecuador now, we never will."
About 30 percent of Ecuador's 15 million people live below the poverty line, and Correa's popular social programs have won him support across the geographically diverse nation, from the Galapagos islands to the sweltering Pacific coast, up the towering Andes and down to Amazon basin lowlands.

This ends AFP's Live Report on the Chinese Communist Party congress.
Chinese President Hu Jintao delivers his address at the opening of the 18th Communist Party Congress at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on 08 November. Hu called for stepped-up political reform and a revamped economic model as the Communist Party opened a historic congress on Thursday to usher in a new slate of leaders.
In the wake of the Bo Xilai scandal that has rocked the organisation, outgoing secretary-general Hu Jintao delivered a stark warning on the need for the ruling party to clean up its act.

Let down by noise
On paper the Travelodge at Glastonbury should have a lot going for it. It is only 3 years old, easy to find, has a car park, it is only 1 miles from the centre of town and there are some fast food outlets available close by. I have stayed at a number of Travelodge's and know what to expect. It should be basic clean accommodation with not a lot of extras. I did my research and realised that at the front there was a 24/7 garage, a main road and fast food outlets all giving rise to noise. So I asked for a room at the back which probably turned out to have more problems than a room at the front. We stayed in room 215 and on first appearance everything seems okay which lulled us into a force sense of security . We needed extra pillows and these were provided and all of the staff we spoke too during our stay were polite and helpful. The room was clean, tidy with tea & coffee to drink, there were 2 large towels provided, soap and sufficient space for our cases and clothes. We went out and when we came back later I shut the windows. After a day of travelling and wandering around there is nothing like a good soak in the bath to help the aches and pains. The bath filled up quickly and I looked forward to a soak, that is when I noticed that the bath was not very long and it was impossible to straighten out my legs or lay down. There were no problems with the shower which worked perfectly. After my shorter than intended bath I thought I would watch some TV, that is when I noticed, there was no remote control. So it was up and down to adjust the volume or change channels. After my exercise period with the TV we decided to go to sleep or should I say attempted to go to sleep. The back of the property has a different set of problems to the front. There are extractors at the back of the hotel which cuts in and out every few minutes 24/7. It is so loud is possible to hear it when in the bathroom with the door closed and the windows shut. The good thing about the machinery is it helps cuts down the noise from the road and car drivers who practice spinning their wheels in the KFC car park. During gaps in the noise I eventually got off to sleep only to wake up with back ache caused by the springs in the mattress sticking into me. As daylight approached I became aware of the cries of seagulls arriving for their breakfast of KFC leftovers, that had been helpfully thrown out of car windows and spread around the car park. You can not expect someone to walk the 5 metres to the bin now can you. I later watched 2 employees from KFC walking around the car park picking up the discarded leftovers the gulls did not want. Closer examination of the room windows showed, though they were doubled glazed, there were gaps between the gasket and windows which let the noise in. If you buy the cheapest double glazed windows going then this is what you get. I spoke to a member of staff about the noise and was told that the management were fully aware but refused to do anything about it. The Travelodge website does mention the noise but the company has failed to take any action such as getting the double glazing fixed and new mattresses installed. The room was cleaned whilst we were out, towels replaced and the hot drinks replenished. Though I left a tip it was not taken, I can only imagine staff are too embarrassed to take it. If you are below average height, profoundly deaf, not worried about the springs in the mattress giving you back ache and want to keep on getting up to change channels on the TV then this could be the hotel for you. If you do not fit into these categories, you should give this hotel a wide berth until they fix the problems.
Unique Quality: I did get this hotel room on offer for £12 a night and thought that was too much.

As others suggested, we used canned Muir Glen tomatoes and only a 1/4 cup of jam. This is definitely on our list to repeat!
We doubled this recipe for eight people and enjoyed a great main dish of Spanich mackerel that we removed from the Gulf of Mexico that same afternoon. Easy recipe with great results. Even the non-fish eaters liked the results.
oh -- and I used Muir Glen's roasted diced canned tomatoes. Nice, subtle smokiness and high-quality tomatoes.
I've made this jam for bluefish a couple of times and think it's PERFECT. Nice balance of spciy/sweet really cuts the richness of fish. I've also served it with grilled shrimp and toasted country bread. I leave out the tarragon, tho I love anything anise-y: it doesn't really 'fit' the flavors, imho. I agree with another reviewer -- use whatever jelly you have convenient. I used rosehip jelly and wild plum jelly -- different result, both tasty.

Together they publish at TwinsDaily.com and have authored books, e-books and magazines that provide independent and in-depth coverage of the Minnesota Twins from a fan's perspective. You can contact them at email@example.com.
When it was officially announced on Monday that the Twins had reached agreement with Matt Capps on a one-year, $4.5M deal, the reaction among fans was about as venomous as I've ever seen. My Twitter timeline lit up with angry, expletive-laden tirades. Even some of the most mild-mannered fans were directing profane vitriol toward Terry Ryan. You'd think the Twins hired Jerry Sandusky to be their ninth-inning man.
To be honest, I'm having a hard time understanding why some fans are soaked with such heavy disdain for Capps. He's a generally effective closer who had a bad run of outings during a lost season. The right-hander was certainly tough to watch at times over the summer, but in the grand scheme, he was a minor contributor to the club's woes.
In my mind, Capps has three things working against him with the Target Field Faithful, two of which are completely out of his control:
1) He's not Wilson Ramos.
Capps' career with the Twins began on a sour note, as he was acquired in a lopsided trade that was widely panned at the time and only looks worse in hindsight. This past season, while Joe Mauer's future at catcher was being cast in doubt, fans were forced to watch Capps blow nine saves while the player he was traded for, Wilson Ramos, enjoyed a successful rookie campaign in Washington.
There's no doubt that the Twins would be in better shape right now had that trade never happened, but it did. At this point it should have no bearing on our assessment of Capps.
2) He's not Joe Nathan.
Ryan did such a phenomenal job in identifying and acquiring Nathan that it seems he actually set the bar way too high for himself. In six seasons with the Twins before suffering a torn elbow ligament, Nathan was never off. Even at his worst, he was still one of the league's most dominant and reliable relief arms. There's a reason why many regarded him as the best closer in the game outside of Mariano Rivera during that span.
Capps is certainly a far cry from that level of excellence, but this doesn't mean he's bad. Like the vast majority of relievers in the major leagues, he's susceptible to down years, and he had one in 2011. More often than not, though, he's been perfectly adequate as a late-inning bullpen weapon. At 28, he's still in the heart of his prime.
One other thing: In spite of all his struggles this year, Capps had the second-best qualified WHIP on the team behind Scott Baker, allowing fewer base runners on average than Glen Perkins.
3) He pitched through an injury this year.
In radio and print interviews, Twins' coaches and front-office personnel have clearly been going out of their way this offseason to convince people that Capps' struggles were largely the result of a right wrist injury he was pitching through.
As I wrote a couple weeks ago, a close look at the numbers indicates that these claims are valid. At no point in Capps' career has he had nearly as much trouble striking people out; if he's healthy again in 2012 I suspect we'll see a return to normalcy in K-rate, which would almost surely result in improved numbers across the board.
I don't necessarily think Capps was doing the Twins any favors by pitching through his wrist tendinitis this year, but isn't it exactly the kind of thing most fans wanted to see more of? Sure, Capps was garbage when he took the mound for a period of time, but at least he was out there pitching.
On top of that, he took accountability for his failures, telling reporters "I'd boo me too" when the hometown fans turned against him.
To me, Capps' bum rap seems almost totally unwarranted. I don't love his new contract -- $4.5 million is on the very upper end of what I'd be willing to pay him and the club forfeited an extra draft pick by re-signing him -- but there's really no such thing as a bad one-year deal and locking him in at a reasonable enough rate shores up the back end of the bullpen while enabling Ryan to turn his attention elsewhere.
Duensing agrees to $2.7 million contract for 2015
Left-hander's deal means Twins avoid arbitration hearings for ninth straight year

First moment, While I was relaxing on my hammock on my deck on beautiful Fall evening. I heard this crackle noise and though, oops, my CI must be acting up. I though maybe the way my head rest on pillow. So I sat up on my hammock and hoping it wasn't my CI acting up. There my dog, Summer once again testing me. She was rolling around on the grass. My jaw drop and I was talking myself, are you kidding me!!!! I can HEAR grass!!!! My grass was just little dry, no much. The grass was making crackle noise while she was rolling around on her back. She loves roll on grass. I can hear the grass from my hammock on the deck to where Summer was under the tree. My guess, about 8-10 feet away!!!! I though I was dreaming and I wasn't. She rolled around again, I heard it and sure enough, its was the grass!!!!!!
Second moment, I walked my dog, Runway (Husky). He loves to go for walk and act like sled puller. I was behind him and he pulling me, not hard or anything, just pace walk. His claws sound so cool!!!! It sound like horses hoofs parade down the street. It was so cool and makes me smile and makes my feeling kicking up fire. Before CI, I can barley hear it with hearing aid. Now with 2 CIs, AMAZING SOUND of claws!!! I can even hear my dogs come in house with their claws clanging on the wood floor from back door to my room which is other end of house. I was like here comes my kids. Waited, waited, finally there they are. I was like WOW, I must've heard you coming in from back door. Was from living room with one CI. Now 2 CIs, they're coming in from back door.

The best of the series. Decent idea, poor execution. Do without the circle!
i dunno i think the circle is needed to a certian degree to convey the button, no?
loved this execution. it's the only one that makes sense to me. i think the button is necessary if it give the impression of a table.
This is the only execution that works. You want to 'play' the books. Don't show a stop button or a pause button - I think that's the opposite reaction you want. You want people to play, not stop.
100% agree with you PaulyG. Still want to know what an RG10 voucher is though...
why do only this one i can see the book? this is a nice one. Yasmin Ahmad!
http://jennywhx.blogspot.com jwhx:Visionary
yup, i agree, this is d best one and d only meaningful one
~ old habits die hard, older ones never do ~
I think it is still much better than average. And "button isn't only found on music players" is not a contra-argument in my opinion. The visual raises attention, then you read the copy and realize what it is. Nothing more but nothing less
this would be a decent one-shot. but why does the book look like it's x-rayed?
Im sorry just want to ask, how many of you all are actually working professionals from the industries?
Just curious...
