My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
Continuing to shed the weight and building up my body (Lost 150 pounds in less than four months).
I have started my own Freelance writing business and have been doing so for about a year, so far so good.
I have started my own Freelance writing business and have been doing so for about a year, so far so good.
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
Cooking. It's why dieting at times can be difficult. Seasons, spices, cooking oils, meats, vegetables, bread, and fire -- dangerous combinations that if I'm near can set up a buffet for anyone desiring to chow down.
On my spare time, writing. I enjoy writing short fictional stories.

The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My height. It's something that many people can't miss unless they're basketball players.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I read all kinds of materials; however, I'm more interested in reading books by Stephen King, Robert Frost, and Flannery O' Conner. Movies? Hm. My favorite movies span from the 80s to the 90s as most movies nowadays just don't entertain me. Regarding music I'm into Smooth Jazz, Electronica, Classical, and Chill-out.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Well, to be honest, air, water, food, minerals, space, and shelter -- the essential things all living organisms can not live without.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
How I can make more money. I love money. It's just something about green cash stacked that's just serene to the mind...but not as much as books, I just love reading books.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Reading novels and watching television; however, if the weather is wonderful I'm walking around nature smelling the freshness of the wilderness.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
Ha! I save that for those who are interested in me. = D

Lord, what food these mortals be! Bram Stoker's Dracula collides with Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream in a puckishly 'biting' woodland mashup where no ruffled neck is safe. Join us, if you dare, for the ORIGINAL douchey teen vampire drama. The Nightmare 'Dream' comes to the New York International Fringe Festival in August 2013, presented by Bloody Shakespeare.
The play, approximately 50 minutes in length, uses text only from the two source works. Writer/director Neal J. Freeman's original plan was to develop a Midsummer production with a gothic horror setting, to give a playful wink to the idea that the Elizabethans thought of "fairies" in a much more sinister way than we are accustomed to. Upon beginning to locate the Shakespeare characters within a horror universe, Freeman discovered surprising parallels to the characters in Stoker's Dracula, and The Nightmare 'Dream' was born!
Bloody Shakepseare is Neal J. Freeman and producer Heather Siobhan Curran. We worked together for three years as Executive Director and Artistic Director of Brooklyn's acclaimed The Gallery Players and collaborated there on over a dozen productions. Having left the organization in May 2012, we are excited to renew our collaboration on the world premiere of The Nightmare 'Dream'.
We are working from a budget of $7,500 for this festival production. The largest part of this goes to paying the actors and creative team for their work, per the terms of the Actors' Equity Association agreement with FringeNYC. Your contribution here assures we have enough left over to pay for costumes, rehearsal space, and the many other miscellaneous expenses needed to get us to the finish line!
We are excited to offer illustrations by Michael C. Malbrough (who illustrated our logo) as perks for our higher level donors. Mike will take a photo you provide (of you or another person) and "mash it up" with a horror icon of your choice (Dracula, Frankenstein, whatever you choose) to create a custom caricature just for you! View samples of Mike's work.
More about us: Neal is a member of SDC and holds an MFA in Directing from Brooklyn College and a BA in Theater Arts from Cornell University. His play A Letter from Bataan was a 2012 and 2013 semi-finalist for the Eugene O'Neill Center National Playwrights Conference. As Artistic Director of The Gallery Players from 2003-2012, Heather directed, produced, or executive produced dozens of shows during her tenure, earning the theater over two dozen New York Innovative Theater Awards and nominations. She is currently on the board of New York Theatre Barn developing new works and is a member of the League of Professional Theatre Women.
Thank you for considering making a donation, and helping us produce the world premiere of this brand new play!

The Celtics are 10-2 this season, including 4-0 in the playoffs, when Paul Pierce and Ray Allen score at least 20 points in the same game. They eclipsed that number in Game 1 against the Orlando Magic on Sunday afternoon in a 92-88 win.
The formula has been a successful one throughout the season for the Boston Celtics.
Whenever Paul Pierce and Ray Allen scored at least 20 points each in a game, the Celtics usually wind up with a victory.
The Celtics were 6-2 during the regular season when Pierce and Allen reached that number, and they are 4-0 during the playoffs.
The latest example came on Sunday afternoon when Allen scored 25 points and Pierce added 22 in a 92-88 win over the Orlando Magic to open the Eastern Conference finals.
Pierce and Allen reached the 20-point mark together in Games 3 and 5 against the Miami Heat and in Game 5 against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The only two times the formula didn't work during the regular season were in losses to the Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls.
After the Celtics relied heavily on the offense of Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett in the series against the Cavaliers, Pierce and Allen figure to get more scoring chances against the Magic.
The matchups at their two positions in the series, which continues tonight at Amway Arena, seem to favor Pierce and Allen, who had Vince Carter and Matt Barnes starting out on them in Game 1.
Carter has always been a defensive liability throughout his career, and Barnes was obviously slowed by a sore back in the opener. The Magic also used Mickael Pietrus and J.J. Redick against Pierce and Allen.
The two had important defensive assignments in the opening two seasons with Allen chasing Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat around and Pierce had to deal with LeBron James.
Pierce joked last week that due to all the foul trouble he was in against James, he should be well rested for the conference finals. Pierce also had to cover James in the conference semifinals in 2008 and was on the floor a lot longer.
"I'm a lot fresher in this series because of the foul trouble, probably than I was two years ago when he completely wore me down,'' said Pierce with a laugh.
Allen, who made 8 of 16 shots in the opener, had trouble against the Magic in the playoffs last season. He averaged 13.1 points and made just 34 percent of his shots, including 8-for-42 from 3-point range.
Consistent at home: The Game 1 loss by the Magic to the Celtics was their first at home in two months.
Orlando fell to the Charlotte Bobcats, 96-89, on March 14, and the Magic had won 11 in a row on their own court before falling in the series opener.
The Magic went the entire regular season without losing back-to-back home games, finishing with a 34-7 record at Amway Arena. Their last home losing streak came in last year's NBA Finals when the Los Angeles Lakers won Games 4 and 5 to clinch the title.
Page 2 of 2 - Never been done: The Celtics have never opened a series by going 2-0 on the road, something they can accomplish tonight. … The Celtics are on a four-game winning streak in the playoffs. The last time they won five straight games was in November and December when the Celtics had an 11-game winning streak. … Following tonight, the Celtics and Magic will take a three-day break before the series resumes in Boston on Saturday night at 8:30. … The NBA Draft Lottery takes place prior to tonight's Celtics-Magic game. The Celtics will be selecting No. 19 in the draft on June 24.

| em chapter 7 . 6/4/2014
Just wanted to say ttis is so, so brilliant...very original and I hope it hasn't been abandoned! You are incredibly talented.
| jullee chapter 7 . 4/19/2014
Who is it? Lavender? The angel of mercy... Very cold! I love this story. I love Slytherin Rose, I love Scor and his relationship with both their families. And I would love to see the development of scorrose. Thanks for sharing!
| Detailer chapter 7 . 4/5/2014
This story is so good! One of the best multichaptered Scorose that I've found, and I'm so glad that I did! I hope you're still working on it and that you intend to finish it, I'll favorite and follow now.
| asixua chapter 7 . 3/30/2014
Hi, I just read Broken and now Falling is like this. Both are so great! But please don't stop writing... I can't wait to know WHO the killer is and when Rose and Scorpius Will figure out their relationship:-)
| Bubbles of Colours chapter 7 . 12/10/2013
Your fic is amazing... Both Scorpius and Rose's personalities are so funny and real and I love them!
| Harriettlovesbooks chapter 7 . 11/21/2013
I am enjoying this story! Thanks for writing. I bet the killer is someone we already know. And of course hopefully Rose & Scorpius will figure out that they love each other!
| justme chapter 7 . 11/3/2013
I adore your characterization of pretty much everyone in this story! I like that you changed what has become, as you mentioned, pretty much canon in the portrayal of Rose and Scorprious, i.e. a second Hermione and a less Draco-y Malfoy. It makes things endlessly amusing. This is definitely in my top 3 NextGen universe, no doubt!
As far as the plot, I'm definitely keen on seeing where this is going. Didn't expect this to go to the route it did with murder mystery but I'm enjoying the ride. Also, I'm very interested in when and how Rose will finally develop or admit to any feelings for Scorprious-she's just so frustratingly oblivious!
Anyway. Great characterization, strong writing, and intriguing plot. The worst I can say about this is the slow pace of romance but it just adds to my excitement. Nothing I can't deal with as I'm sure you've got something brilliant coming up. Can't wait for the next chapter!
| lana chapter 1 . 10/8/2013
please please please update! You don't know how happy that would make me (I've been reading this story since march this year and its the only Scorose fic I religiously follow, hahah)! Your fics are all amazing, and I'm so glad I found your account while you were still writing a new story so I could follow it as you update. But please don't make us wait too long! Its too intense ahhh!
| iamyou chapter 7 . 9/25/2013
hi is lavender brown the angel of mercy bc it seems so idk but I think it's her. I love ur story bt super awesome and funny author and u made me laugh a lot
| tara-k90 chapter 7 . 8/17/2013
This story is so great! I love post-Hogwarts fics and this one is super interesting :) I'm not used to Rose being characterized as super brilliant but not motivated, however the way you have written her with those characteristics is flawless. And her friendship with Scorpius makes me want to cry bc I love how you've made it, like not an overload of sexual tension but enough that you know they're the main couple and their diehard devotion to each other. Add in Albus as their third best friend and I'm practically crying becuase I've always had the headcanon that he and Scorpius were bros ;)
All in all I'm really glad I clicked this story and I can't wait until the next chapter! :)

Winning ugly still a positive for Packers
John Klein
There's a scramble for the ball after the Packers blocked a Bryan Anger punt. Dezman Moses (54) would eventually recover it in the end zone for Green Bay's first touchdown off a blocked punt since 1990.
Victory in the National Football League never requires apology. Realism always is appreciated, and the Packers at least partially provided that Sunday after their dull 24-15 decision over the visitors from Florida. »Read Full Article

Don't Pass This Bar
Hillyer, Quin, The American Spectator
The Department of Education smacks down the ABA.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH'S Department of Education has sent a subtle hut clear message, a well-deserved one, to that liberal pressure group and overly self-important lawyers' cartel known as the American Bar Association.
The ABA is, or at least was, poised to adopt, in August of this year, rules changes that effectively threaten certain law schools with lack of official accreditation unless the schools violate their own, anti-discriminatory state laws concerning affirmative action-not to mention arguably violating the Constitution and various federal statutes as well.
What the ABA quite clearly seeks is to force law schools to use race-conscious admissions and hiring practices to increase the number of minorities, even if it means an end-run against applicable statutes and court decisions. It stinks to high heaven.
In response to the AB As race-based power play, the Department of Education has put off renewal of recognizingthe ABA as an official accrediting body from June until December. This is significant. Through its power of accreditation, the ABA's Council of the section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar (what a mouthful!) effectively makes itself the gatekeeper for a career in law. Also, a large amount of federal funding, especially student financial assistance under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, is tied to a school's official accreditation. But the ABA's accreditation power is itself dependent on the Department of Education's approval: If the department doesn't recognize the ABA council as the accrediting body for law schools, the ABA's cartel is broken.
In an April 5,2006, letter to the ABA, the Department of Education's accreditation division scolded the ABA for "failfure] to provide notice" of its proposed changes and noted that the changes have drawn official protest from outside groups on the grounds that they may violate "federal and state antidiscrimination provisions."
At issue is ABA accreditation Standard 211, which seeks to ensure "equal opportunity" in law school admissions and faculty hiring. In February, the ABA council voted to adopt multiple changes to that standard (and to its official interpretations thereof, which carry the same binding weight as the standards). The standards won't become official until the ABAs House of Delegates approves them at its August meeting. Among the changes:
In the requirement to take "concrete action" to admit members of "racial and ethnic minorities," no longer must those minority candidates be "qualified." (The word "qualified" was specifically excised from the previous version of the standard.)
Also dropped is the explanation that the requirement is aimed at those groups "which have been victims of discrimination in various forms." Instead, regardless of any record of discrimination, the schools are newly charged with showing "a commitment to having a student body that is diverse with respect to race, gender, and ethnicity." The new requirements are to be adjudged based not only on demonstrable effort to achieve diversity, but also on "the results achieved."
Despite the ruling in the 2003 Supreme Court case of Grutter v. Bollinger to the effect that some affirmative action racial preferences are allowable, specifically at the educational discretion of the law schools and the states that govern them, the revised Standard 211 would say not that the schools "may" take actions toward achieving diversity, but that they "shall take concrete actions to enroll a diverse student body that promotes cross-cultural understanding, helps break down racial and ethnic stereotypes," et cetera-regardless of the institution's own educational judgments. (Whereas the Court reaffirmed in Grutter that '"good faith' on the part of a university is 'presumed' absent 'a showing to the contrary,'" now the schools are presumed by the ABA to be deficient unless the "totality" of the "results achieved" are ensured through "concrete action" that the schools "shall" take. …

Lol ! interesting.
But hard to have a German accent^^
(for a spy like me, gentlemen !)
We would like to sound our NPCs and Bosses, so we need human voices.
Posted by Marvin_hun on Mar 17th, 2010
As I wrote it before, we are closing to finish our first
But before that release, we must to create new human-voices for our NPCs, so if you:
- have good voice (or voices:)),
- have well and deep knowledges about the original game,
- would like to work with us,
---> than send a pm for me (Andriska_hun)
The main goal is to recreate the old voices ("achtung!", "aiiii...")
but of course you can add your own ideas too.
Lol ! interesting.
But hard to have a German accent^^
(for a spy like me, gentlemen !)
I am a german, so i could do it.
anyway, wolf 3D developer were American so...
...we would like to make a mod with good quality, and anybody is welcomed who would like to help. Anyway, in this goal germans in prefernce.
I speak german fairly well as well so I could potentially help.
Na wie gehts dir so ?
Alles gut ? :P
Ich dachte mir ich schreib dir einfach mal in Deutsch weil du sagtest du könntest es :D
I this some cries can be made by un-german people lol
i'm german, so i might do some voice-acting.
just send me the lines with some additional info on how it should sound (for exemple: "Ich sehe den Feind!" angry).
if we're very lucky, i might also get permission to use the recording studio of our local radiostation :D
My heritage is German, but I've got a complete American accent.
However, I've practically meditated on Wolfenstein since infancy, so if I can get my mic working I might be able to provide some voices that are at least accurate to the game.
So I might give this a shot :D
I have a small home set up with a Mono mic i can clean up my recordings pretty good i tried sending a message on the 18th but it didn't work for some reason so i haven't bothered to re-do it.
I've done a bit of voice acting in the past, I'd love to do this. I think I can do a German accent, I took it up to A level.
Just get original sounds from the game like"MEIN LIEBEN!"
or maybe get somes from the angry german kid LMAO

Beidou Township (Chinese: 北斗鎮; pinyin: Běidǒu Zhèn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pak-táu-tìn) is an urban township in Changhua County, Taiwan.
Beidou was previously known as Baodou (寶斗; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pó-táu), a harbor on the branch of Zhuoshui River and engaged trading with mainland China. As the harbor was an important site of southern Changhua County in the late Qing era, the town was surrounded by fences and had defensive walls. In 1738, the first downtown street named Shezi Village was built in the southern bank of Dongluo River. In 1806, houses and fields along the downtown streets were all ruined due to the battle between immigrants from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou. In 1821, Shezi Village was rebuilt in the Baodou Village at the riverside.[2]
It is located in an alluvial plain in the southeast part of the county. With an area of 19.2547 square kilometers, it is the second smallest township in the county after Xianxi Township.
Administrative divisions[edit]
Zhongliao Village, Dadao Village, Xide Village, Xian Village, Guangfu Village, Xinzheng Village, Zhongqing Village, Wuquan Village, Qixing Village, Juren Village, Tungguang Village, Wenchang Village, Zhonghe Village, Xinsheng Village, Daxin Village.[3]
It is famous for ba-wan, a popular Taiwanese food item that was invented in the township.[citation needed]
Tourist attractions[edit]
Notable people[edit]
Gie-Ming Lin, the father of Jeremy Lin the Houston Rockets basketball star, grew up in Beidou.[6]

Simon Cowell has paid tribute to American Idol, revealing he and his costars had a "blast" on the talent show juggernaut.
The 55-year-old Brit, whose acid-tongued barbs made him a superstar in the States, spoke out Monday after Fox revealed the show would end after 15 seasons.
And Cowell fondly remembered the show – recalling the "great times" he spent on and off air with his costars Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest and first-year cohost Brian Dunkleman.
He tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement: "We had a blast! Me, Paula, Randy, Ryan – and not forgetting Brian. Thanks to the fans we were able to make some great shows and found some amazing artists. Fox took a risk on a brand new show and I want to thank them for giving us the opportunity. They really were great times."

The EU Competitiveness and Innovation programme is offering €28 million funding in 2008 to stimulate take up of the best environmental products, processes and services in Europe, contributing to implementation of ETAP.
Europe is a strong player in eco-innovation with a turnover of €227 billion in this sector, representing 2.2% of GDP and some 3.4 million jobs. The EU has around 30% of the world turnover in eco-industry products and services, and around half the turnover in global water and waste management. However with greenhouse-gas emissions set to increase threefold by 2050 and metals and minerals consumption forecast to grow by up to 40% in the coming decade, action is essential now to increase the market share of eco-innovation.
Eco-innovation is part of the Competitiveness and Information Framework Programme (CIP) running from 2007 to 2013 with a total budget of €3 621 million. The new programme is intended to support pilot and replication projects to encourage market uptake of innovative eco-technologies and practices by bridging the gap between research & development and commercialisation. It covers market-oriented activities with a strong emphasis on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
The first call for proposals for Eco-innovation was published on 21 April 2008 with a deadline of 11 September for proposal submissions. Evaluation will take place in December, with first projects starting in February/March 2009. An initial information day was organised in Brussels on 8 May 2008 by the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) – see Box, which is managing the new programme in co-operation with the European Commission.
"There has been a contradiction between business and the environment in the past," said EACI Director Patrick Lambert. "This programme is set to relieve the tensions." Funding is aimed at eco-innovators in Europe struggling to market new products, processes or services that show clear environmental benefits. Innovation has a key role in developing new sustainable solutions that reduce the ecological footprint of existing industrial processes and enable a more rational use of natural resources in a wide range of areas – from waste treatment and materials recycling to clean construction and green management.
Funding will cover 40 to 60% of eligible project costs. There are four priority areas for 2008: materials recycling; sustainable buildings; food and drink industrial processes; and green business and smart purchasing. However, projects are by no means limited to these sectors. "Our programme is covering the whole of Europe but does not have a huge budget, so we need to choose the best projects – probably about 40 in all," said Beatriz Yordi, head of the EACI eco-innovation unit.
More information:
The Brussels-based EACI was as set up in 2003 as the Intelligent Energy Executive Agency (IEEA) to implement the 'Intelligent Energy – Europe' (IEE) programme. It manages the projects and events funded under the IEE programme and disseminates the resulting know-how and best practices. Since 2007, the EACI has also managed the European Commission's Eco-innovation initiative and the Enterprise Europe Network as part of the Competitiveness and Innovation Framework Programme (CIP), which absorbed the IEE programme, as well the Marco Polo programme. It was the first of a number of new executive agencies established by the Commission to put policies into action more efficiently and effectively with improved results.
More information:
EACI is looking for external experts to assist in evaluation of the implementation of the CIP and specifically the Intelligent Energy-Europe, Eco-innovation and Marco Polo programmes. Experts will assisting in evaluating responses to calls for proposals, evaluating finished or on-going activities or projects under these programmes, and evaluating the programmes themselves to assess their impact.

Parapatric speciation occurs along a border between the ranges of two species. The intergrades of little greenbul species in the ecotones between rainforest and grassland are an example. Sympatric speciation occurs within the overlapping ranges of two species. The divergence of a new population of Clarkia rubicunda following a drought, and its subsequent inability to reproduce with Clarkia species from the surrounding area after the drought, is an example of sympatric speciation.

Psychology Today's Thoroughly Modern Guide to Breakups
As we enter the New Year, one may say, "Out with the old, in with the new." But the beginning of a New Year often means it's time to heal from a breakup, which does take time.
In the current issue of?Psychology Today, I shared my once-private breakup with by my ?fiance in an email. It was truly painful. Helping others by writing The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online was necessary. I have often said that if Facebook were around in 1993, it's quite likely that Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw would have been dumped in a relationship status update instead of a post-it, which has now become passe.
I'm devoting the first week of the year to the subject of breaking up with our featured book in our reading room, The Frisky 30-Day Breakup Guide, and by sharing my personal story to help singles while looking for love online. A breakup isn't the end of the world. It can mean the beginning of a much better relationship.

Signs You May be Dating a Cyber Player
You've signed up for an online dating site. Your inbox is full of interested singles trying to capture your attention. You put yourself out there and opened up your heart. How can you tell if he's sincere or if he or she is a cyber player or serial dater?
In a recent article on Sympatico.ca Personals, I shared some of my insights, online dating tips, ?and red flags with Jenna Stone.
They're the scourge of the dating scene, the stealth enemy of anyone seeking a long-term, committed relationship ? The Players.
There you are, putting yourself out there, hoping to find someone with whom to spend your life, and there he/she is messing it all up. They make the apparent right gestures and tell you what you want to hear, all the while working the same schtick on someone else, or several someone elses.
And they're not just lurking in the bars and clubs either. They're online, sneaking around your favourite dating sites. How can you avoid…(insert dramatic B Movie monster music here)…THE CYBER PLAYER?
Julie Spira is a cyber dating expert, and author of the online book The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online. She offered some insight on how to keep the cyber serial dater at bay.
She says, "There are certainly a lot of them online. They become these little kids in a candy store because they can always find a pretty face. And they get five new e-mails in their inbox every day." Spira is quick to point out that, while many people DO indeed commit, the web has "really created a feeding ground for people who can't."
Spira says there are two categories of online players. The first are people who are also offline players and it's how they live their lives. "They see online dating as an extra way to feed their egos."? The other type, she says, are those who were shy and unlucky in love, but then tried online dating and "all of the sudden they go from being socially challenged to suddenly having all of these options."
Sometimes, she adds, they don't even meet anyone in person. "They just talk and chat. They get sort of addicted to it."
So, that's red flag #1. They keep putting off meeting you in real life. Seems obvious right? But a lot of people can't read the clearest signs and wind up wasting a lot of time.
If someone won't eventually come play outside, they might not be socially capable. They might even be hiding behind an entirely constructed persona.
Once you do meet them outside, Spira says that, oddly, they tend to come on strong and talk a lot about commitment. "When you go on a date with a cyber player, they will say things that are the complete opposite from what you'd expect. They say things like 'I was married before and I want to be married again,' 'I'm looking for one woman to wake up with every morning.' They say these types of things a little too much and you might find yourself raising an eyebrow."
But then, right after they leave you, they're back cruising the cyber singles scene.
"They go home and send you an e-mail that says 'I had such an amazing date with you, there was so much chemistry. I can't wait to see you again,' and you see that they've already logged on at 12:30 in the morning after your date ended at eleven o'clock that night." (Most dating sites allow you to see when a member is online)
Of course, it's OK to spend as much time as you please cruising when you're just dating. It's when things are supposed to be getting serious that these become red flags.
Spira advises you err on the side of caution, keep your own profile up and continue to date other people. And, if you're looking for a serious relationship, "Do not sleep with someone who is unwilling to pull down their profile.
"If you're on a casual dating site and are advertising that you're accepting that type of relationship, that's one thing. But if you go on a site dedicated to serious relationships, like e-Harmony or JDate or Match.com, and you state on the profile that you are looking for a long term relationship and marriage, that's another."
It's a common question: When is the appropriate time to take down the profile? There's no right answer. But you need to be comfortable. If you're uncomfortable with the other person's profile remaining up, then it's not unreasonable to address that.
Spira says, "I've seen it too many times where a woman says 'I've been dating this guy for a year and he won't pull down his profile.' I say, 'Well, you never really talked about that before your clothes wound up on the floor."
The bottom line? Talk about it.
Once offline, if you find yourself falling for a player and want to try to get them to tame their wild ways, Spira suggests a few things that include,
1: Keeping busy. Don't always be readily available and live a life that's exciting and fun, and will continue to be so with or without them in it.
2. Setting a time limit. Make it clear you'll only wait around for so long.
3. Giving instructions on how you want to communicate. If you want daily phone calls and flirty text messages, Spira says don't be afraid to ask for them.
A lot of people do find themselves trying to catch the player, convinced they can make them change. It's one option.
Remember, there's always another option. You could just move on to someone else.

Deciphering Cyber-Dating Profiles
Today I shared my 21 online dating profile definitions on Your Tango's PROConnect site.
Often I am asked the question about how many people misrepresent themselves in their online dating profiles? While I don't have the exact answer, typically men lie about their height, income, marital status, and have photos online with more head on their hair than they currently have. Perhaps they need to look in the mirror before hitting the keyboard.
Women, on the other hand, quite frequently lie about their age and weight to fit into a search. The age issue is a hot button for many females.
What you see isn't always what you get with online dating. We hope there's truth-in-advertising. These profile definitions from my book,??The Perils of Cyber-Dating: Confessions of a Hopeful Romantic Looking for Love Online, may help you in your search for the perfect mate in cyberspace.
Read the list on Your Tango and feel free to add a few of your own.
To Dump Or Not To Dump In An Email
With modern technology and our addiction to our Blackberries and iPhones, pushing the send button has become as common as brushing your teeth.
My friends at Your Tango wrote an article today in favor of the easy-way-out called Is It OK To Break Up Via Email? We Say Yes. Here's my dating advice on the subject.
I'm a firm believer that you should think before sending an email to show your anger towards a loved-one, and more specifically, I don't believe in dumping your significant other in an email or a text message.
Sure if you have only had a few dates, sending an email to say "I'm not the one for you. Good luck with your search" can be considered polite as compared to the guy who just doesn't call you back.
In my book, The Perils of Cyber-Dating, I describe the Top 10 Rules of Netiquette for Online Dating. One of these rules is the "Break-Up Rule." It's number ten on my list. It's relationship 101.
? Never break up with a significant other in an email. It?s just common courtesy to have a conversation and preferably in person.
I was once the recipient of a very well thought out break up email. ?I was advised by the man that I was engaged to marry, that I was no longer a fiance. From where I sat, it was cowardly, cruel, and unilateral. ?I never spoke to him again. It was a relationship that started and ended in cyberspace.
I'm a believer that you treat someone the way that you want to be treated. Do you really want to go down in history as the person who dumped your LTR via email? Remember, emails are easily forwarded.
I'd be interested in all thoughts and comments.

Cyber Dating Tips for Valentine's Day
Welcome to February. It's officially the month of love.
If you are feeling the pressure, don't fret. Here are some online dating tips to help you get through the month of February.
How many Valentine's Dates Should You Have?
Valentine's Day is on a Sunday this year. In addition, Monday is a legal holiday in the U.S. so it becomes a three day weekend for many. Does that mean that you should have three dates on your calendar if you are single?
I happen to believe that three is a lucky number. If you aren't in an exclusive relationship and your online dating profile is still up, there's no reason NOT to ask three women out or accept more than one invitation over the course of the weekend.
Your Online Dating Profile
If your online dating profile is still active and you have your date(s) lined up for the weekend, I suggest that you don't visit your online dating site in the days leading up to Valentine's. It might take the romance out of your date if he or she notices your activity level.
Dine in, or Dine Out
Make sure you make your dining reservations early. Some of the best restaurants get booked in full in January. If you can't get a restaurant reservation, dining at home with take-out food on fine china by candlelight makes a nice alternative to expensive dining. If you don't have time to call around, go to OpenTable.com to see what's available in your neighborhood and price range.
Valentine's Gift Giving
When it comes to gift-giving on Valentine's Day, it can be a bit tricky. Being over extravagant early on in your relationship might scare someone away.
If you are wondering what kind of gift you should give your date, ?stop by your local Hallmark store and pick up an appropriate card for your Valentine and a box of chocolate. One simple rose for her will make a nice addition to the evening. For the man in your life, stop by Whole Foods and pick up a chocolate lollypop that says, "You're My Hero" for $4.00. You'll find them both melting in your arms. If your relationship is new, find a card that is witty and humorous.
If you have moved into an exclusive relationship and want to impress him or her, stop by Tiffany & Co. where they have a selection of Valentine's Gifts. Their Elsa Peretti? Color by the Yard bracelet in sterling silver with a pink sapphire?is priced at $175. They have a full page of gifts for under $100. For him,?Engine-turned oval cuff links in sterling silver are priced at $150.
The Morning After
Take advantage of the holiday if you can. If your date involves an overnight stay, having breakfast in bed together will be a nice way to end the weekend, but only if you aren't book for a lunch date with another suitor.
Still Dateless?
If Valentine's arrives and you don't have a date, don't fret. There's nothing worse than pretending to enjoy a very expensive evening. During the daytime if you are in Los Angeles, I will be speaking along with Dr. Pat Allen, author of "Getting to I Do" at The Second Sunday Series of An Empowered Woman. For the evening, find another single friend and go to a movie or stay in and read a book. If there are any singles events in your area, sign up and meet other singles. It's not the end of the world and before you know it, spring fever will be in season.

Dating Advice – New Year's Resolutions. Who Needs Them?
Welcome to 2010. For those who have the tradition of making New Year's resolutions, I have some dating advice to add to your list.
Bah humbug? No, not really. I met several singles over the holidays who dreaded this time of the year and were looking forward to a new beginning. January is the single largest month for new subscriptions to online dating services. When they discussed their frustrations with online dating, I asked why it wasn't working for them.
The number one reason was FEAR. Yes fear. Fear has caused many singles to lie about their age to fit into a search. This isn't new. So, when a 59 year old fairly attractive male told me he said he was 55 in his profile and he wasn't planning on changing that number, I asked him,? "Will you still be 55 when you are 60?"? He had to think about the answer.
Most of us look in the mirror and think we look younger than we are. We see photos on Facebook from high school and college friends and they always look older than we do, or at least we think so.
I continued my discussion with the almost 60-year old man. He was concerned that only older women would write to him. Maybe some will. When I convinced him that he didn't have to go out with every woman who wrote to him,? especially those that didn't fit into his search, he eased up for a minute.? When I was positive that he wasn't going to tell the truth about his age, I asked him how he'd feel if a woman lied about her age and said she was 5-10 years younger. Although it's a common trend in cyberdating,? he said it's a turn-off to him.
Finally, I asked him to make a New Year's resolution to update his profile. He was not going to say he was 59 as fear of turning 60 made him panic.? He did reluctantly agree to adding a "disclaimer" in his profile saying that he was really 59 but looked and felt much younger and wanted to fit into a search.? I asked him to be honest about his age. He said he'd try it. After all, he hadn't been successful in lying on his online dating profile in the 3 years he has been on multiple Internet dating sites.
It's a New Year. 2009 was difficult for many with the economic turbulence. The desire for singles to couple-up is at an all time high. Wouldn't you want someone to be honest with you from the beginning?
Make it your New Year's resolution to live your life with authenticity –Online, offline, and where ever you may roam.
If you need some help in getting started with your online dating profile, contact us and we'll help you create that IRRESISTIBLE Profile to help you stand out among the millions of online daters.

It's not uncommon in the world of both photography and photolithography for clients to pay far more for the framing than the print is worth,
if the intended application is decor. Presentation can be important. Without mentioning any names, I can think of some disgustingly kitchy
nature photographers who basically just make giant Photoshopped postcards, but present them in a marketable manner (at least according to
the taste - or lack of it) of their target clientele. These giant color images are of course going to be displayed under big windows or banks of
UV-intense lighting, so will probably start visibly fading within a decade. But the people who buy this kind of thing don't care. They'll just throw the thing out, even if it cost thirty thousand bucks, and put up something else to match the new furniture. So lack of "archival" considerations is certainly not something restricted to temporary or inexpensive framing techniques.

The Voting Rights Act's Jubilee: A Necessary Interruption
NC NAACP vs. McCrory is a necessary interruption to the institutionalized racism that is killing black and brown people. For all the talk around "black lives matter," Rev. Barber warns, we are in danger of only affirming that black death matters if we accept that the martyrs of Charleston deserve nothing more than the removal of a Confederate flag from their state house. Yes, the flags should come down. But if they go away while the unjust laws remain, then it may be even harder for us to see that the root of injustice is in an imbalance of power.
And the fundamental power of citizenship in this country is still the franchise.

Random impulse. Why, today I felt like maybe "Elaan of Troyius", an episode I've seldom watched (compared to... you know... others) but then changed my mind and went for an old standby, "The Enterprise Incident". Clearly I had season three on my mind for some reason.
I guess system-wise it's all about what you're looking for. Want a comedy, an action story, a morality parable, some space romans, a Vulcan with a missing brain... whatever whim takes you.
