State says hospital is needed on San Juan Island; property purchase, site annexation are next
Washington state Department of Health officials have determined there is a need for a critical access hospital on San Juan Island.
They have issued a certificate of need — a 28-page report and nine-page appendix — a critical step in efforts to build a hospital here. Next: Proponents will complete their fund-raising, the purchase of the property will be completed and design of the new hospital, proposed near the airport, will begin.
The hospital, to be named Peace Island Medical Center, is expected to open in 2012.
"We're excited to now begin the next phase of this project, during which we'll again seek the guidance and wisdom of the community in the final planning and facility design work," PeaceHealth CAO Jim Barnhart said in a press release. "We're appreciative of the State of Washington Department of Health and their thorough review and approval of this project."
Lenore Bayuk, chairwoman of San Juan County Public Hospital District No. 1, which contracted with PeaceHealth to build and operate a hospital here, said, "This is another big step forward for this project. The community has really stood behind this effort, and their collective voice was well received by the state Department of Health. There is tremendous need and opportunity for increasing access and providing for the long-term health care needs of hospital district residents and island visitors. We're excited to see the new medical center and hospital start to take shape."
PeaceHealth senior vice president Peter Adler said the Department of Health's analyses leading to the certificate of need "confirmed why PeaceHealth and the San Juan community came together in the first place – to meet the community's need for enhanced local health care services and increased access to care for all island residents and visitors. When we were first invited into this discussion with the San Juan Island community, our focus was on what could be done to help serve community health care needs and to improve the long-term health and quality of life for islanders. It was a shared vision from the first day forward."
Tom Cable, co-chairman of the San Juan Community Hospital Committee, a local group that led the initial exploration of options for a new hospital, added, "This confirms, formally, the need we've seen for so long to improve the health care facilities and services available on our island."
Peace Island Medical Center will be owned and operated by PeaceHealth, a regional health system that owns St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham as well as other health care facilities in Washington, Oregon and Alaska.
The San Juan County Public Hospital District Commission, which operates Inter Island Medical Center and San Juan EMS, voted 5-0 March 18, 2009 to give PeaceHealth authority to build and operate a hospital on San Juan Island for 50 years. The commission assigned governance of the hospital to a governing board to be appointed by PeaceHealth; the governing board takes over when the hospital opens and Inter Island Medical Center closes.
PeaceHealth will receive more than $1 million a year — about $60 million over the life of the contract — in local property tax revenues to subsidize health care.
In light of declining Medicare reimbursements for fee-for-service clinics – service at IIMC is reimbursed at a doctor's visit rate – and the fact that islanders must travel to the mainland for many services, commissioners said they saw no alternative to the PeaceHealth agreement other than to raise property taxes.
According to the contract approved in March, PeaceHealth will bear two-thirds of the cost of buying land for and building the hospital, estimated at $29.8 million. One-third of the cost will be raised philanthropically by the San Juan Community Hospital Committee.
Property taxes now paid to the hospital district will be passed on to PeaceHealth to subsidize healthcare services.
PeaceHealth will build an EMS facility at the new hospital and sell it to the hospital district, which will presumably use proceeds from the current Inter Island Medical Center property. PeaceHealth will be responsible for all financial liability of the hospital.
PeaceHealth signed a purchase and sale agreement for a 22-acre parcel of land for the hospital in July 2009.
Charles Anderson, a member of the San Juan Community Hospital Committee, told the Friday Harbor Port Commission on Jan. 13 that $6 million in philanthropy has been raised since June and he expects the remainder to be raised in spring.
Addressing port-related concerns:
-- Anderson said the hospital doesn't expect to be affected by noise from the airport. "Airport noise will be mitigated in the construction of the hospital," he said.
-- The hospital will want emergency access to the airport on Franklin Drive. Public access to the hospital will be on San Juan Valley Road.
-- The hospital will connect to the town sewer system behind Island Air's hangar, on airport property, but doing so will require an easement from the port.
-- Annexation is expected to take two to three months. The site is outside town limits but within the town's urban growth area.
-- PeaceHealth proposes paying for the costs of upgrading the pumps at the town's water tank at Spring Street and Marguerite Place, to improve water pressure. The hospital will use the amount of water used by 22 homes.
Expanded services, 24/7 care
Services that will be provided at Peace Island Medical Center: Outpatient surgery, chemotherapy, cardiology, diagnostics and imaging, gastroenterology, oncology, rheumatology, and treatment for body injuries and neurological degenerative disorders.
Patients will able to stay in Peace Island for observation and short-term care after surgeries. There will be 10 hospital beds.
Inpatient surgeries will still be referred to mainland hospitals. Heart attack and stroke patients will still be taken to mainland hospitals. Babies will still be born on the mainland.
The medical center will be about 42,242 square feet, including 24,492 square feet of clinic space for doctors and specialists. Inpatient and outpatient space will comprise 14,250 square feet; the emergency department would comprise 3,500 square feet. The staff will grow from 25.3 full-time equivalents to 44.5.
PeaceHealth has already been at work on San Juan Island. A newly renovated mammogram imaging facility, retrofitted to provide the island's first digital mammography, was installed in August 2009 at Inter Island Medical Center. The mammography facilities are operated by Mount Baker Imaging, a joint venture of St. Joseph Hospital and Northwest Radiologists, both of Bellingham.

In "What to Do When Girls Flake", we talked about how to respond to women who are flaking you (i.e., cancelling you or not showing up on dates that you set up), and that you usually should not blame them for this, because flaking is simply something that women do to guys.
What I want to talk about today is why women flake, and hopefully give you some additional insight into the psychology behind this phenomenon, so that you can avoid it, or nip it in the bud more effectively and not have to deal with it so much.
Many men believe that the best (and the simplest) way to get girls is by taking phone numbers and set up a meet. Such a strategy does work indeed, but frankly it has a lots of cons and it is far from efficient. I will here cover the different reasons for why that is the case.
It should be pointed out that I not saying that you should stop taking numbers, but that you should maybe think twice before playing such a game.
Last weekend I met a really sweet girl during my journey out into the local energetic nightlife. Long story short – I had a really good tone with that girl and she suggested that we should share numbers so that we could set up a meet later on. For logistical reasons I could not go home to her place and finish her off there that night.
So I took her number, left the bar and went to a club. At the club I had a good time and managed to lay another sweet girl.
Either way, on Sunday I texted my girl and sat up a meet for Tuesday. I made my messages short and simple in order to not come across as needy. Further, I also told her that I wouldn't be available after Thursday, in order to come across as busy and make her see me as someone scarce and exclusive. It also worked as a tool to remove flakes as she now knows she only has until Thursday to meet me, and after that her chances have gone, which means that she doesn't have a big margin for flaking on the meet ups.
Either way, she texted me back 5 hours later, and I am sure she wasn't that busy. She was simply playing a silly girl game on me, which obviously doesn't work quite well with me. In her response she told me that she was busy with her family on Tuesday but that she might has time during the evening. I answer one day later (Monday morning) that I was cool with it.
On Tuesday I sent her another message telling her that I will be free from 6 o'clock and that I will be able to meet her after that. I also asked when she was free.
No response. You might tell yourself "maybe she was busy that day" – and I agree, that might have been the case. However in such a situation, if the girl really wanted to meet up with me, she would have sent me a message about it and maybe offered me to meet her up at a later time.
If a woman can't make it to your date and she offers you to reschedule the date for another time, it is a sign of interest, and also a sign that she truly wants to meet up with you and not just play stupid games.
So, at least in this case, I don't have a way to pin down where I went wrong. The girl was really into me (it was her offer to share numbers): she gave me the right number (e.g., no fake number), and she answered my texts.
I wasn't needy on my texts, I offered her a meet up, I answered to her message at the same rhythm as she did with mine. What went wrong?
What I will point out in this post is not the typical "what is wrong with you" or "what are you doing wrong" list. Instead, I want to discuss the other side of the line – what there is with females that makes them flake that are not caused by male actions.
Your first instinct may be to think that she has flaked because she does not like you... or because she is just a "typical crazy girl".
But girls actually have a lot of reasons why they cannot meet you, and when you take the time to understand them women will stop seeming like a big confusing mystery, and more and more like a puzzle with all of the pieces fitted neatly into place.
Here are the reasons why women flake.
Mood Change
Your mood is obviously different from when you are out shopping for groceries to when you are drinking with your friends. Your mood changes a lot. The same thing is true for women.
Actually when it comes to women, they are known to be even more driven by their emotions than males are. For example, the female's mood has a higher impact on her behaviour.
So what happens is that you meet up a girl and she is in a good mood. She is probably out, a little drunk, having fun with her friends and dancing.
Or even better – maybe you made her feel good. There is no doubt that when two people interact with each other, they both affect one another's mood. For example, when you have a nice chat with a lady and you feel passion, that puts you into a certain emotional state.
What happens in this case basically is that the lady is within a particular mental state during the initial interaction with you. She feels good and excited.
However the next morning, she might have work to do, she might have just woken up, her day might have been very boring or even worse she might even have a hangover.
Also, the fact that you are not there with her can have a huge impact on her mood. She cannot feel the same thing that she did when you were around her now that you are away from her. Now you are just some cool guy who made her feel good yesterday, but is not there to make her feel good right now.
As a result, she is probably less excited about talking to you and even meeting up, as her mood is not the same. As just mentioned, women's mood affects their behaviours, which again affect their actions.
However, I highly recommend men to understand the following and play with it: if the result from texting or calling a girl is limited, try again later! For all you know, her mood might have changed again – this time to something in your favor.
Here is how you can try to get her back in the same mood as when she just met you:
Mention or callback events that took place when you met her ("Hey you remember that silly dude who spit in his drink and drank it right after?")
Resume a conversation topic that took place during the initial conversation ("By the way I am currently watching a gross, yet amazing Kubrick movie")
Attention Seeking
For women, feeling beautiful might often be more important than hooking up with an awesome man. In fact, for a woman, winning over a man is not like winning over a woman is for us – we need to have sex with woman in order to feel a certain level of achievement. For women, simply winning a man over by getting his attention is enough.
This is why women at times can often come across as very attention seeking. Because it is by getting positive male attention that they feel pretty. By feeling pretty, they also feel good about themselves, and as this is such an important need to woman, why shouldn't they enjoy it?
The problem here is that when you are away from a woman and texting with her, the scenario is much more beneficial for her than it is for you. She can easily play on the male neediness and send mixed signals. As you on the other side of the line are not right there interacting face to face with her, you are sadly not in a position where you are in control over the interaction (and its outcome). As you don't have much control of the interaction, the outcome is more dependent on her moves.
This means that if she wants you to give her attention by fooling you to believe that there is something going on between you two (and oftentimes, such a thing is not even required), she can get it her way unless you are man with standards who is wiling to cut contact and move on... which, sadly, is not the case for most men, because they really want to "win over this girl", figuring out different weird strategies to make her respond faster to texts and stop flaking on dates.
The balance of power has therefore changed. She has satisfied her needs (or is currently satisfying them) – which happens by getting positive attention from a male.
However, most men will not be satisfied by positive attention from a female alone. They expect more, and I don't blame them, because I am like them. I want to have sex with the women I flirt with.
This means that she is getting more from you than you are getting from her. Now if we think about it, this means that you are currently chasing her.
And as we know, chasing women rarely leads to anything good for the chasing man. The more you chase a lady, the more you ruin your chances to have sex with her.
As a result, I also dislike taking numbers for this exact reason. I literally dislike playing the mating game within a scenario where my odds are bad. I like to play on a balanced playground – which in my opinion is only during a face-to-face interaction.
Fear of Rejection
Further, not only are women seeking attention from an interested man over the phone, but they are also getting it quite easily.
Then, I may ask, as she is being satisfied this way, why would she risk throwing it away?
In my opinion, doing such a thing would be counterintuitive, and, in fact, most women look at it that way.
Furthermore, women also fear rejection a lot more than men. In her meeting up with a dude, it can go both ways. She might be able to get even more attention from you... or she might risk losing her source of validation. Women, biologically speaking, are built in a way that they play their actions safely. Women are far less risk taking than men are. If the status quo is satisfying to women, they will probably not risk upsetting it.
As a result, once she has your attention, she will probably flake on you and keep playing the "getting your attention" game – it is safer than meeting up with you.
If you really want a tip on how to handle the following, it would be as following:
Make short, to-the-point messages
Do not give her too much attention in her texts
Wait at least 4 hours between each text
If she flakes more than 3 times you really need to next her and move on
Playing Hard to Get
Often, if a woman is really attracted to you, she might play hard to get in order to make you chase her and force you to commit to a relationship ON HER TERMS (which we know is something you should avoid at all cost).
Women know that by sending mixed signals they can make men chase them. Women's end goal is not only about getting attention but also making men with potential into their boyfriends – forcing them to commit to an exclusive relationship.
Furthermore, women believe that men do not like being seen around with women who are perceived as easy targets. This can be a result of the women's "anti-slut defence" which is a system of protection women have for protecting themselves from the "slut" label.
If a woman sees any boyfriend potential in you (i.e., is really attracted to you, not only just "interested"), she might play hard to get. Now, most of the time this tends to works out okay for men provided they don't wait too long to make those dates happen and provided they don't become really needy as a result of her playing hard to get.
But sometimes, insecure women will go a little too far. They will play "impossible to get". Most men will lose motivation and move on, but some will stick to them. What tends to happen then is that these men will become very needy and ruin everything.
If you start feeling that a woman is playing hard to get with you, I simply recommend you to play the game back in return. Like for example:
Waiting before answering her texts
Give her the equal amount of attention as she is giving to you
If has been flaking before or you feel that will most likely flake, then YOU flake on the next meeting before she has a chance to do it. Then re-schedule the meet for another time.
If the problem persists, you again really have to move on. It rarely works out when a woman is going that far. You better respect your time and meet other woman instead of wasting it.
"Luck" and the Lack of Control Over the Outcome
This leads me to my final point. The problem with interacting with a woman over the phone is that you don't have much control over the situation. The outcome is not in your hands, but just a bunch of coincidences.
This means that whether you succeed or not is just accidental. Sometimes you are lucky and the girl is really horny or is very easygoing and she is actually meeting up to the dates very easily.
But most of the time it not only requires a lot of hard work in order to make anything happen, but the chances that anything will happen remain low.
Learning phone game and increase your chances to get dates from numbers are great. However, keep in mind that luck remains a crucial factor, as what defines the outcome of phone game is grounded on a bunch of small coincidences (she might have eaten something bad yesterday and feels like hell right now).
In order to not waste time, I suggest that you only take numbers from girls who:
Are very interested in you
You have built a decent quick connection with
Are clearly emotionally secure (and not insecure) – e.g., not too attention seeking, drunk, immature or sexually stuck up (or what many label as "conservative women")
I am being repetitive, but this is problem the more important advice of them all: walk away if she is playing too many games. Cut contact with her if you haven't met her at least within 7 days after taking her number. If you wait longer, all the passion will have gone, and you will simply turn into a worthless provider of attention for her.
When Women Flake: A Summary
Oftentimes men make mistakes when it comes to texting, and as a result, women will flake on them. However, in many other cases, there might not be anything wrong with the mans actions, but the flakes still take place as a result of multiple coincidences on the female side. Such causes are:
Mood change – women are not in the same mood anymore, as a result she might be less excited about talking to you
A girl might become attention-seeking and tries to make you into a provider – a provider of attention
She might fear rejection – meeting up with you might make her lose you as a provider of attention (as you might reject her). Therefore she plays it safe
She might play hard to get
So, do analyse what went wrong when girls you grab phone numbers from will not meet up with you... but don't beat yourself up too bad about it.
Sometimes you could've done things in the interaction differently,
and sometimes your follow-up game is lacking. Obviously, if girls never agree to dates with you,
doing something wrong and need to fix it.
But a good chunk of the time, it's just outside your control altogether how a woman responds, because of who she is, what's happened in the interval between when you met her and when you got in contact, or what her life is like when she's not with you.

Hey Alek. Thank you for the article man.I'll keep this in mind next time a girl smiles and gives me her number...then never responds to my messages. On an entirely unrelated note:
Is the model in this article a lady friend of yours/one of the other authors at girls chase? If so...kudos. I've been struggling with Chases' whole "only view girls as cute/someone you'd be interested in talking too" instead of "hot/sexy" thing, although I'm definitely feeling the advantages.
Must suck to be an attractive woman. No dude would talk to her just to say "hi." Then again, private jets are nice. I would love to be a fly on the wall when top caliber girls talk frankly about their dating lives.
What a world.
While walking down the street
Hi. Alek
I would like to start by "THANK YOU CHASE, ALEK, DREXLERR AND ALL THE GREAT AUTHORS OF GİRLSCHASE"
Have you ever been to turkey ? İstanbul? İf you had I think you couldn't take your eyes from the girls there. I live a typical province like İstanbul in turkey. So my question is that While I am walking in the Street. I see many more girls whose attracts me. They are really beautiful, sweet and sexy( İf this comment can be seen in the screen of girlschase I want to give an information about turkey, here is a mixture country, Last decades girls leave head scarf etc. they are dressed sexy pretty as the western girls) and that makes me looking at them. What can I do while walking on the Street?
Thank you

Read the Marty's link to his field report on night street game (he's the commenter directly below) for a very good example of what to do
and then browse these two articles:
Night Street approach
Don't take a number
Hey Alek:
Very topical article for me: last weekend I also had an experience where it was a mistake to accept a number, although my reason for being unable to close on the spot was a failure to persist, resulting from my substantially inferior level of skill. You can read full details here: http://www.girlschase.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3922
I am learning (slowly, the hard way) that accepting a number is unreliable and definitely a far poorer option than taking the extra time to escalate. The lessons you teach in this article are extremely apposite for me.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the girl I met checked three of the boxes you warned of: attention-seeking, drunk and immature. On the other hand, she was clearly interested (enough to kiss), we had built a good connection, and it is very unlikely that she was what you delightfully term "sexually stuck up".
She gave me full details of her place of employment, as well as her study schedule and location, and I wonder whether I should meet her unexpectedly one evening as she finishes either of these and make my case in person, since text is clearly failing. I believe I have enough self-assurance and authoritativeness not to come across as a creeper/stalker by doing this! :) Your opinion would interest me.
And just so you don't think I've gotten overly hung up, I have opened a further eight girls since I met her; don't get the impression I'm obsessed!
Thanks Alek!
Do NOT unexpectedly meet up
Do NOT unexpectedly meet up with her. Next her. As he said in the article, don't continue to text her if it isn't working. Just forget about her. Move on.
a better approach
I would prefer if the author of this article just stuck to the messsage and let that speak for itself. It seemed that he was trying to convince us what a cassonava he was, I mean c'mon in the first two paragraphs he's already hyping his own skills up with lines like this:
"I couldn't finish her off there that night."
"So I took her number, left the bar and went to a club. At the club I had a good time and managed to lay another sweet girl."
Just let your message do the talking, if it's good we'll all be getting better with the ladies, talk is cheap and we all know this. The proof is in the pudding.
This is actually a really
This is actually a really good article, many good points, I just didn't like how it started out about the author bragging about his skills, proof is in the pudding bro ;)
Luck factor is strong - example
I just want to add a something you cannot control. It is actually funny that things like this may destroy potential relationship.
It can happen that a negative event comes into the girl's life just before you are to meet, something like death of a pet or car accident or illness and so on. This is also the reason why she cancels the date. But you communicate with her throughout the time around that event. Now, the cancelled date with you and communication with you is linked to the negative event and she stops feeling positively when thinking about you. Game over.
Another common bad luck that
Another common bad luck that you cannot do anything about is following. Online dating, a woman has 4 dates a week. The first date is with you. But something happens, like her mother needing something urgently, so she has to cancel the date. She is very sorry and makes a counter offer, but she is free only after that week (because of other dates planned). Now, the week goes over and she texts you: I am sorry, I have already found someone else since then... And you feel like a total idiot. She didn't find you just because her mother needed help on the day of your date.
Great article, Alek. I
Great article, Alek. I appreciate the insights. I currently have a situation related to this topic and I hoping to get your insight. The girl was a former co-worker that used to flirt with me, but since I had a girlfriend at the time, it never really escalated to anything serious. We both eventually left the company and went on our separate lives. Despite currently having no common social circles anymore, she still texts me every once in a while and asks how I'm doing. One day we decided to meet up for dinner (as friends). At that time she asked when my girlfriend and I would marry, I told her that we broke up a few months ago but it was amicable and threw the same question back at her. She was bit evasive with her answer, but I got the impression that things weren't exactly great. A week later she messaged me online and said she broke up with him. She texted me all the details the next day. The conversation ended with me telling her to forget her ex and offered to take her out to a movie and dinner to help her forget. She agreed.
However, she kept cancelling last minute for various reasons but always offers alternatives. She must have cancelled 6-7 times in the span of 3 months. To be fair, though, at least 3 of the cancellations were truly legitimate (twice, the weather a VERY bad and one time she was hospitalized and I visited her instead). I planned to tell her that I liked her once we were able to go out, but it never even came to that. In the last "flake out", she cancelled and asked if we could reschedule for the next day. I agreed. However, the following day, I truly forgot and texted her that evening and told her jokingly that we both forgot to meet up (I figured that she would have at least asked me details on the meet up or if was still on). She said that she thought I was busy and didn't want to bother me (which I was). I eventually told her in that same conversation that I really liked her but all these cancellations must be some sign/fate telling me that we might be better off as just friends. She initially didn't reply, but I assured her that we're still ok and we'd still be friends. She then responded by telling me she didn't want to hurt my feelings. I again assured her that I wasn't hurt and that I was ok with it. And that's how the conversation ended. I haven't had any communication with her since then.
And now my questions:
1. Do you think I missed any window of opportunity that I should have taken. Could I have done something differently to change the outcome?
2. Why do you think she flaked? Was she not just that in to me? Or was it simply attention seeking?
3. I'm truly not bothered with her rejecting me, but I'm more concerned on how I should act around her moving forward. Should I just cut ties with her altogether? Or should I just try to remain friends (since I don't plan on "getting" her anymore, so to speak)?
Any thoughts and insights will be most welcome!
it sucks
This is bull, not the article, the article is spot on, dealing with women is bull. It's like jumping through hoops, while they don't do anything. After 10 flake in a row, I'm pretty tired and kind of jaded. I give up, I can't do this anymore. Just out of curiosity, what do these women do after they've flaked on 100 good matches and got pumped and dumped by 10 guys out of their league?
Yeah, dealing with women can
Yeah, dealing with women can often be a pain in the ass. My suggestion: treat them like overgrown children--most of them behave as if they are--and don't put too much effort into any single one. You'll be pleasantly surprised when you do encounter a woman who behaves like an adult (i.e., one who communicates clearly, one who respects your time, and one who actually does the things she says she'll do), and even if it doesn't work out, you'll likely make a valuable friend out of her. Moreover, by treating the overgrown girlies as self-centered automata, you'll have more casual, nonchalant fun.
You must, of course, have interesting stuff going on in your life and you must *never* allow any female to become a central focus in your life--not unless she *earns* it. *Your* time is valuable.
what the hell
why can't women just be chill?!
Where next?
Alek, thanks for the very informative article. It both reinforces what I'm thinking about women flaking, and adds more detail I never thought of. I came across this article as I'm experiencing continuous flaking from this girl I'm after. We met some weekends ago through a mutual friend. All three of us spent the day out doing some great outdoor activities. Both me and the girl clicked pretty well, so much so that she started texting me immediately after dropping her off at her place. We kept great text conversation going, things were great. Learning from past negative experiences, I decided there was no time like then to get a date arranged. I told her I was going to central town and was grabbing a quick lunch to eat. I invited her to join me, she did not hesitate! We met that Tuesday, ate our pizza, I enjoyed talking, flirting, and laughing with her. I hope she did too. Since that day though, she's been more distant with her texting. She'd take hours longer to respond. I assumed back then that she was still interested but decided to start testing me with the play hard to get game. Treating this as the next great challenge before we could hopefully continue dating and get more connected, I played along and took my time as well responding as well. Some days I was too eager to respond to her, others I developed a "fuck it" attitude and put her on the waiting end of things. Fast forward to today, which is two weeks since the date, she continues sporadically messaging me and seeking my attention, but she hardly budges when I try get us to meet. She's flaked on me twice now, so in return, I flaked on her for a weekend activity she wanted to try out. I told her from thereon that I wasn't going to try set up activities with her anymore and that it would be up to her if she had any interest in me. Whether that was the right or wrong thing to do I'm not sure. I was tied between being more challenging myself, and taking this chance to finally meet on her terms and see if I could escalate. Anyway, today, I'm disillusioned and fed up of playing this text game of superiority. I tried to end it by meeting, she doesn't help out, and I haven't that one time either. I've gone off Facebook for a while where we've been messaging each other. It's a good help and actually helps me stay away from her online presence. But now I am asking myself, should I let it die, take the pain and move on? Or should I keep this waiting game and see if she takes the bait and sets something up? My heart tells me it's the former. My head, depending on the day, drifts between either choice. What do you think? Many thanks!
Just Find a Girl Who Is For You
I believe there may be a few a psychological techniques that will assist a man in picking up and hooking up with more woman. But to me it is nothing but a hassle. I work at getting a girl who really likes me and that is that. If they flake or play any type of childish games I write them out of my life. I don't want any woman that is hard or a challenge if we don't have a natural chemistry I will not try to push it. So I am not trying to figure out why a women flaked or was disrespectful I just move on and find a women who is for me 100%.

Anatomy of a Schoolbag
100% Recycled plastic bag textile
We remove complexity and embrace necessity by recycling plastic shopping bags into a textile. We believe our plastic textile is a practical solution to the plastic pollution crisis.
Solar panel
The solar panel charges during the child's walk to school and transforms into a solar lantern to study. The amount of time spent charging in the sun results in double the amount of solar energy. We believe that children should worry about calculating maths sums not the cost of purchasing kerosene and candles.
Retro-reflective material
Many children leave for school early in the morning and need to be more visible while walking. We believe that while the child looks right, left and right again, they'll do so with a better chance of being visible and safe.
OffcutsMesh™ band
One of our seamstresses, Pauline, ingeniously came up with this signature band made of ALL our offcuts. She says she was inspired by how everything and everyone has a purpose and therefore valuable.
The trendy design
There's nothing like a schoolbag a child can be proud of and feel good about carrying. That is why we let our creativity run wild to come up with a simple yet trendy schoolbag design that would standout from the crowd.
The quality
Our plastic textile is strong and durable as the plastic bags are fused together at a high temperature. It's also waterproof because we understand that there's nothing worse than wet books and a child not being able to show off their completed homework.

Will BBC now tighten Mid-East reporting?
Ramifications from the Ross and Brand affair should extend into news coverage.
It is possible that the Ross-Brand affair may come to be seen as a tipping point for the BBC. It provided a sharp reminder that despite its "public service" remit and £3 billion-a-year subvention from the taxpayer, the corporation is a behemoth that has become extremely difficult to control.
The director-general, Mark Thompson, may glorify in the title of editor-in-chief, but he now runs a media organisation where it is almost impossible for Reithian standards to be upheld across all platforms.
The Beeb's website is one of the most visited in the world. Its flagship US channel, BBC America, is pumped into 54 per cent of American households. At home, the move into digital radio is effectively stifling the commercial sector and one factor undermining genuinely regional media.
The commercial arm, BBC Worldwide, last year had an income of £916m and made profits of £118m, easily outstripping Channel 4.
It may soon be challenging a besieged ITV, which is dependent on fragile advertising revenues.
The British taxpayer has a world class media company but it is expanding its influence at the expense of almost every other news outlet in the country.
As Carolyn McCall, chief executive of the Guardian Media Group, told the FT this week: "Insufficient control by the BBC Trust and moves into new areas unconnected to core programming brands threaten to undermine commercial players."
The Andrew Sachs phone calls demonstrated how parts of the BBC are coarsening public discourse, and how hard it is to maintain standards in such a sprawling organisation.
In much the same way as the director-general and the trust cannot be expected to monitor every bit of output on Radio 2 and "yoof" channels like BBC3, it is almost impossible to monitor the corporation's web and global output. And, whereas the BBC was always a watchword for impartiality, its diversification into the blogosphere has changed this, too. Leading correspondents now have the opportunity to express their views on events on the web, rather than sticking to the more rigorous standards required of on-air broadcasting.
This gives journalists such as Washington correspondent Justin Webb and business editor Robert Peston the chance to opine. In the process, their impartiality can be compromised.
The corporation's web output often appears to be even more lightly monitored and edited than Radio 2.
Recent research by Just Journalism found several examples of distortions or lack of balance in Middle East coverage.
The material examined included a report on the Gaza tunnels, which noted that "Israel says" that they are used to smuggle weapons, rather than accepting that this is the case. A Question & Answer on Iran and nuclear issues failed to include any reference to Iran's existentialist threat to Israel and a Jeremy Bowen analysis of the Quartet's role in the region failed to explain areas of Palestinian responsibility.
These might seem like minor infractions but they reflect the difficulty the director-general and his staff have in keeping abreast of what is being put out in the BBC's name. It means that distortions now reach a global audience and play a role in damaging Israel's image.
The BBC has become too powerful and pervasive. It may soon be time to rethink its mandate so as to reinforce its public service remit. This may involve privatising popular programming like Radio 1 and 2, Channels like BBC 3 and web output.
Then, upholding news and impartiality standards at the core would become more manageable.

text: My 4 week old son, after BFing and latching well for the most part of his little life, for the last 2 days or so, will pull off and cry while feeding, and won't latch after the breast is emptied a little. I've tried burping and that doesn't seem to be the issue. I have to burp him 2 times at least at each breast, and after he burps the first time he roots and fusses and acts hungry still, but will only suckle at the breast, and won't actually latch. Once the breast is a little soft, he won't latch. I tried pumping and putting it in a bottle, but he suckles a bit and makes a face and pulls away. Someone was saying my milk could have gone sour. (Both DH and I have been very stressed these last few days...). Not sure what i can do...or what the issue is. I had this problem with my first son as well, and ended up pumping for 2 weeks until I dried up (my pump is kinda cheap). I DON'T want that to happen this time. Any advice would help lots...before I pull all my hair out.

Betsey Johnson Saved Fashion Week Yesterday
She filed for bankruptcy last year, then her fashion show was called off, but suddenly it was on again, and thank god for that because it brought levity and splash back to Fashion Week.
What a production!
First, various props were set up on pink mats up and down the runway--everything from sunglasses to champagne bottles and beyond--as we wondered just what kind of B.J.-palooza was in store.
Then colorfully dressed young models strutted out in zany wigs, faux talking on cell phones and bopping around, followed by aerobics drill sargeant Betsey Johnson herself, who promptly put them through the paces with a gleeful elan.
Upcoming Events
She had them doing pushups, lifting the champagne bottles as if they were barbells, and then donning the shades to do crunches (because "Nobody looks good when they're doing crunches").
It was all tres funny and fast paced, and when it ended with Betsey's customary cartwheel, it made more sense than ever because the whole thing had been an ode to getting physical.
I skipped right out of there on a high, convinced that Betsey had punctured all the pretensions out of Fashion Week once again.
Let me do my best Shirley Booth impression and say:
Don't come back, little pretensions!

We're All Teachers, Really
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin hit it right on the nose – though he didn't hit it very hard – in one of his inauguration speech comments about school reform in West Virginia.
Education reform was the key topic Tomblin addressed last week after he was sworn in for a four-year term as governor. He's absolutely right to emphasize the need to improve public schools.
Though West Virginia has some very good schools, many are failing our children badly.
But schools aren't the only education problem. Look again at what Tomblin said last week: School reform, he said, "means making sure our school systems have the ability to be innovative, and that means making sure parents become more responsible for their children and their learning."
The loud slapping sound you heard just after the governor said that was the sound of thousands of teachers applauding.
Now, teachers, principals and other personnel in our school systems are the professionals. They know how to educate children – and often, they don't get enough credit for that from people who don't understand knowledge of the subject isn't enough. Finding ways to get through to children is both an art and a science.
So yes, we need to improve our schools.
But how long each week do children spend in classrooms? How many hours are they are home? And does anyone remember that research indicates the most important years for education are the very early ones, before a child ever passes through the front door of a school?
Bottom line: Are we as parents doing a good enough job educating our children? Are we doing as well as our parents did?
Do we really support schools or merely demand they do their jobs – plus ours?
Unfortunately, the adults who need most to be asking themselves those questions probably don't care about the answers. It's their children with whom professional educators really struggle.
But how many of us really care, but for one reason or another aren't doing our part to teach our children?
Tomblin is right. More West Virginia parents need to become really involved in education.
Otherwise, when we talk about failing schools, we probably ought to be looking into mirrors.

IBM's alleged SDN business sale: Pricing exercise or a new direction?
Analysts speculate on IBM's strategy regarding the company's rumored plan to sell its young SDN business unit.
This Article Covers
SDN companies
IBM is reportedly shopping around its young SDN product line, with an alleged asking price of $1 billion.
Re/code.net claimed the company has approached several networking giants -- including Dell, HP, Cisco, Juniper and Fujitsu -- in order to explore interest in the sale of its IBM SDN business. An IBM spokesperson declined to comment on the speculation.

IBM has already shed its network hardware business as part of the sale of its x86 server business to Lenovo for $2.3 billion last week. IBM's SDN business unit is purely a software business today, comprising its Software Defined Network for Virtual Environments.
The rumors of an IBM SDN sale could be a case of the company reassessing its position in this space -- possibly as a "pricing exercise," or to determine if SDN software is a direction it should be pursuing, said Eric Hanselman, chief analyst with New York-based 451 Research.
"I would be surprised if IBM intends to sell the software assets in its SDN portfolio," said Brad Casemore, research director at Framingham, Mass.-based IDC. "I believe the company is committed to SDN as an integral component of its software-defined environments strategy. IBM sees itself as being well placed to deliver SDN with both overlay-based network virtualization and OpenFlow networking, accommodating both virtualized and physical workloads."
Does potential sale of the IBM SDN business point to a new direction for IBM?
IBM is in the process of reinventing itself, and is trying to determine whether maintaining the assets of an SDN business is worthwhile, Hanselman said. "For IBM, it will be a question of whether or not it makes sense to retain those product capabilities, or to move them outside and use those resources to be able to do other things -- like push its cloud business better," he said.

Blog roundup: SDN business benefits and security
Don't overlook SDN startups
IS SDN the answer for network efficiency?
The company still has its own software for managing cloud orchestration, and IBM's SDN technology is a natural fit as the networking piece in IBM's SmartCloud Orchestrator cloud management platform, Hanselman said. "If IBM is working on cloud orchestration for a client, having all of the networking components could help them differentiate," he said. But the selling in the SDN market may require more resources than IBM may want to commit, given that it would have to compete with vendors like VMware and Cisco. "IBM might also have a strategy in mind where they don't have to put up the continued research and development investment that keeping SDN competitive requires," Hanselman said.
What does a potential IBM SDN sale mean for OpenDaylight?
IBM is a leading contributor to the OpenDaylight Project, an open source SDN software project, but Hanselman said an IBM SDN sale wouldn't affect OpenDaylight significantly. Vendors such as Cisco and Red Hat are contributing more to the project, and other participants would pick up the slack, Hanselman said.
As long as IBM makes appropriate patents accessible to OpenDaylight, it wouldn't matter if another company bought the SDN business. "IBM still has a prominent role in OpenDaylight, and I don't see that changing in the foreseeable future," IDC's Casemore said.

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
Many retailers saw both their sales and margins squeezed during the recession, and are just beginning to rebound now. Some high-end retailers, however, have seen their sales and revenues soar over the past couple years.
I took a look at some of these companies, and found that their stock prices are looking very affordable -- even if their wares are a bit pricey. Let's consider four of these stocks: Two overachievers and two cheaper bets that you might want to consider before shares take off.
Michael Kors Holdings (NYSE: KORS ) is a newcomer to the big board, launching a very successful IPO last December. Its stock is still sitting at more than double its initial $20-per-share offering. Since its debut, the company has been on a roll, beating targets on both earnings per share and revenue. The retailer has opened 28 new stores, and is looking to double its North American store count. Kors knows how to market himself and his brand, having increased his name recognition greatly via Project Runway. Between this ambitious expansion plan and a stock value that has increased almost more than 50% in three months, this stock won't stay under $50 for long.
Coach (NYSE: COH ) is in Michael Kors' sights, but this venerable fashion accessory retailer will be tough to beat. The company presented a robust second-quarter report, noting a 15% increase in sales over the prior year as well as an almost 9% boost in same-store North American sales year over year. The company's expansion in China is also fueling growth, where the company now has 80 stores. Coach's line of men's accessories is also doing well, and worldwide sales are estimated to top $400 million this year.
Shares of Liz Claiborne (NYSE: LIZ ) are looking like a real bargain for a couple of reasons. One is that there has been some takeover chatter as of late, since Liz had a bit of a stumble last year; some analysts think $20 per share would not be an outrageous offer. The other is that Liz holds some valuable brands in its stable, notably Kate Spade, Lucky Brand, and Juicy Couture. Of course, those hip lines could also spell rebounding fortunes for Liz this year, especially with the company's rebirth under the Fifth & Pacific banner coming in mid-May. As a consequence, this stock may merit investment consideration sooner rather than later.
Last, but not least, is Vera Bradley (Nasdaq: VRA ) , which has lost 36% of its value over the past year. Why, you may ask, is would this be a good stock to own? Well, because it seems to me that there is a real surge in store for Vera. Since the company's IPO last October, this company has reported nothing but good news in its financial statements, always beating estimates on earnings and revenue, and its sales increased 26% year over year. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before this stock takes off.
Foolish take
Any of these companies look like a good bet to me, despite the dicey performance of the latter two companies' stocks. All are worth a look, and there's something here that is sure to please, no matter what your fashion-investing taste.
The retail sector is gaining strength, and not only in the luxury sector. Find out about two other companies that are rocking the retail scene in this free report now!
