J.A. Happ Rumors
Quick Hits: Trout, Happ, Chavez
The Angels' $510K renewal of Mike Trout's contract for 2013 has made minor news this week. Now FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that Trout's agent, Craig Landis, has suggested his client wanted a $1M contract for 2013. Since Trout is a pre-arbitration eligible player and does not have a long-term deal, the Angels were not obligated to pay him any more than the league minimum salary of $490K, despite Trout's exceptional 2012 performance. One source tells Rosenthal the Angels did not negotiate the deal at all. Another tells him that the Angels initially offered Trout a contract of more than $510K, but Trout did not accept it, and the Angels gave him the $510K contract as punishment. In any case, as Rosenthal suggests, the mini-controversy over Trout's 2013 salary will quickly vanish into history if the two sides can agree on a long-term deal. And, of course, salaries near the league minimum are routine for pre-arbitration eligible players, even spectacular ones. Here are more notes from around the majors.
- The Blue Jays' offseason acquisitions of Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and R.A. Dickey have put the squeeze on several Jays pitchers, including J.A. Happ, who no longer has much of a shot at a rotation job. Nonetheless, Happ continues to prepare for the season as a starter, writes Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com. "Right now I'm focused on being a starter, building up and doing what I've done in the past," says Happ. Happ could win a job in the bullpen, or he could wind up in the rotation at Triple-A Buffalo, even though he will earn $3.7MM this year.
- Third baseman Eric Chavez, now with the Diamondbacks, says he needed to leave the Athletics organization behind after suffering numerous injuries in his last seasons there, Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic reports. Chavez left the A's after the 2010 season, and signing a minor-league deal with the Yankees gave him a chance to "restart everything" by escaping from expectations established early in his career in Oakland. Chavez hit .281/.348/.496 in a successful 2012 campaign in New York, leading to a one-year, $3MM major-league deal with Arizona for 2013.

AL Notes: Happ, Verlander, Ross
On the same day that he broke Curtis Granderson's forearm with a wild pitch, J.A. Happ finds himself facing a roster squeeze with the Blue Jays …
- Happ is "mired in a grey zone" in Toronto, writes Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. Despite solid credentials, Happ may not even earn a roster spot as a reliever with the new-look Jays. With another potential lefty long-reliever (Brett Cecil) out of options, Toronto manager John Gibbons admits that Happ is not only "the odd man out" of the rotation, but could find himself "back down in Triple-A."
- Justin Verlander was merely stating the obvious when he said he hoped to become the first $200MM pitcher, MLB.com's Jason Beck reports. Verlander explained: "The question was posed to me: 'Do you want to be the first $200MM pitcher?' Well, yeah. What kind of question is that? Of course I do."
- Cody Ross revealed today that "Texas was wanting to move pretty quick" towards a deal before the outfielder signed with the Diamondbacks, Barry M. Bloom of MLB.com writes. While it was previously reported that the Rangers had met with Ross, the Arizona-dwelling Ross explained the "crazy timing" that occurred. Ross sat down with Texas right after learning that Arizona was interested, and by the end of the next day had "basically agreed" to sign with the Diamondbacks.

Blue Jays Notes: Reyes, Lyon, Happ
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos introduced Jose Reyes in Toronto yesterday, explaining that players of Reyes' caliber are difficult to find. "He's electric," Anthopoulos said. "High energy, smile on his face, just so many things. This is a rare guy to find. Leadoff, shortstop, energy, makeup — check off every single box." Here are some more notes on the Blue Jays with Spring Training just a month away…
- Before the Blue Jays acquired Reyes, they had been "really close" to another trade that would have had a similar impact on their 2013 payroll, Anthopoulos said. They discussed the deal toward the end of October, when option decisions were due.
- The Blue Jays continue to seek a 25th man to round out their roster. Anthopoulos said last week that the Blue Jays would like to add a right-handed bench player capable of playing multiple infield positions. That said, the Blue Jays could add such a player in Spring Training.
- Don't expect another deal in the near future. "We're not having any dialogue at all with respect to trades," Anthopoulos said.
- The Blue Jays could add a player or two on minor league deals and under the right circumstances they could add a player to the 40-man roster.
- Anthopoulos hopes the rotation provides enough innings that the team doesn't need to seriously consider an eight-man bullpen. The Blue Jays have a pretty full bullpen, so it doesn't appear as though free agent right-hander Brandon Lyon will return. "I don't want to ever close the door on him, since he did a great job for us," Anthopoulos said.
- The GM stressed the importance of starting pitching depth and explained that players such as Justin Germano, Brad Lincoln and J.A. Happ provide the club with options.
- The Blue Jays are a 'file and trial' team meaning if they exchange filing numbers with players they go to a hearing. Anthopoulos said he's "hopeful" and "optimistic" that the Blue Jays could reach deals with their three remaining eligible players by today's deadline. Emilio Bonifacio, Happ and Josh Thole are Toronto's eligible players, as MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows. Assistant GM Jay Sartori is leading the way for the Blue Jays as they negotiate with their players.
- Though the Blue Jays look like an improved team, Anthopoulos cautioned that many of their American League rivals have also added significant pieces. "You can't take anything for granted," he said. "We haven't even played a game yet. We still have to win a game, and we have to win a lot more than one. The whole division is outstanding."

Astros, Blue Jays Complete Ten-Player Trade
The Astros and Blue Jays have completed a ten-player trade, the teams announced. The Astros obtain seven players from Toronto: right-hander Francisco Cordero, outfielder Ben Francisco, minor leaguers Joe Musgrove, Asher Wojciechowski, David Rollins and Carlos Perez, and a player to be named. The Astros send left-hander J.A. Happ (pictured) and right-handed relievers Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter to Toronto in the trade.
"Once again we are adding depth to our minor league system with quality young players," GM Jeff Luhnow said in a team press release. "We really feel this will help us moving forward and are extremely excited about the players we've added to our organization."
Cordero and Francisco don't have assurances of staying with the Astros beyond 2012. Cordero, 37, has a 5.77 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 34 1/3 innings this year. He signed a one-year deal with a base salary of $4.5MM before the season. Francisco, 30, earns $1.54MM this year and will be arbitration eligible again this coming offseason. He posted a .240/.296/.380 batting line in Toronto and battled a hamstring injury, so he could be considered a non-tender candidate.
The Blue Jays selected Wojciechowski in the supplementary first round of the 2010 draft. The 23-year-old has a 4.05 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in parts of three minor league seasons. He ranked tenth on Baseball America's offseason list of Toronto's best prospects. Musgrove, 19, was a supplementary first round selection of Toronto's in the 2011 draft. The 6'5" right-hander has a 3.31 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 32 2/3 innings over the course of two pro seasons.
Rollins, 22, has a 2.46 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in parts of two pro seasons. The Blue Jays selected the left-hander in the 24th round of the 2011 draft. Perez, 21, has a .275/.358/.447 batting line at Class A Lansing this year. The Venezuelan catcher has a career .777 OPS in parts of five minor league seasons.
Lyon, 32, is also on track to hit free agency this coming offseason. The former Blue Jays reliever has a 3.25 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 36 innings with Houston this year. Lyon, who pitched in Toronto from 2001-02, earns $5.5MM this year in the final season of a three-year, $15MM contract.
This marks the second time in three years that Happ has been involved in a midseason trade. The Astros acquired the left-hander from Philadelphia along with current Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Gose for Roy Oswalt in 2010. Happ, 29, has a 4.83 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 104 1/3 innings so far in 2012. He's earning a salary of $2.35MM this year and will remain under team control through 2014.
Carpenter, 27, has a 6.07 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 29 2/3 innings out of the bullpen this year. The right-hander has a strong minor league record: a 2.97 ERA with 9.6 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in five seasons.
The Blue Jays announced that they called up Travis Snider. The 24-year-old had a .335/.423/.598 batting line at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Players Avoiding Arbitration: Tuesday
Dozens of arbitration eligible players have agreed to deals with their respective teams today and we've been tracking all of the developments right here. Several teams, including the Rays, Nationals, Marlins, White Sox, Blue Jays, Braves, and perhaps Astros, are known for committing to going to hearings if they get to the point of filing. Keep track of all the madness with MLBTR's arbitration tracker, which shows settlement amounts, filing figures, and midpoints. Today's players to avoid arbitration on deals worth less than $4MM:
- The Cardinals avoided arbitration with pitcher Kyle McClellan, tweets B.J. Rains of FOX Sports Midwest. Joe Strauss of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (on Twitter) that the one-year deal is worth $2.5MM with incentives based on starts. MLBTR projected a $2.7MM for the Steve Comte client.
- MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports (on Twitter) that the Padres and Chase Headley agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.475MM, avoiding arbitration. Earlier this evening, the Padres announced that they avoided arbitration with Luke Gregerson, Edinson Volquez, Carlos Quentin and Will Venable. They also avoided arbitration with lefty reliever Joe Thatcher on a deal worth $700K, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. CAA announced catcher John Baker has signed for $750K. Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune first reported that the Padres reached agreements with Hundley, Chase Headley, and Tim Stauffer. Hundley will earn $2MM in 2012, MLB.com's Corey Brock tweets. Dan Hayes of the North County Times tweets the salaries for Volquez ($2.2375MM), Venable ($1.475MM), Gregerson ($1.55MM)
- The Rangers avoided arbitration with Matt Harrison, tweets Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The ACES client gets $2.95MM on a one-year deal. MLBTR had projected a $2.9MM salary.
- The Cubs announced that they have avoided arbitration with Jeff Baker ($1.375MM), Blake DeWitt ($1.1MM), Ian Stewart ($2.237MM) Chris Volstad ($2.655MM), and Randy Wells ($2.705MM). MLB.com's Carrie Muskat tweeted the salary figures.

Phillies Acquire Roy Oswalt
Just one win shy of the Astros' franchise win record, Roy Oswalt is leaving the only team he's ever known. The 32-year-old righty approved a trade to the Phillies, who sent J.A. Happ and low minors prospects Anthony Gose and Jonathan Villar to Houston for Oswalt and $11MM. The Astros then flipped Gose to the Blue Jays. The Phillies will not pick up Oswalt's 2012 option, but will add $1MM to the buyout as compensation. Seven months after trading Cliff Lee to the Mariners for prospects, the Phillies added a different ace to their rotation to support Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels. Oswalt has a 3.42 ERA, 8.4 K/9, and 2.4 BB/9 in 20 starts this year.
Oswalt asked the Astros for a trade in late May, and talks ensued with the Phillies, Cardinals, Rangers, Padres, and Dodgers, among others. Astros owner Drayton McLane dealt directly with Phillies president David Montgomery to complete the complicated trade. As expected, Oswalt's full no-trade clause, his 2012 option, and the $23.46MM guaranteed to him through '11 were significant obstacles.
Happ, 27, finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting last year with a 2.93 ERA in 166 innings. However, he's tallied only 53 pro innings in 2010 due to an April forearm injury. Happ won't go to arbitration until after the 2011 season and the Astros control his rights through 2014.
Gose, a speedy center fielder playing at the High A level, was ranked sixth among the team's prospects by Baseball America heading into the season. He rates highly for his speed, defense, and arm tools, but remains a work in progress.
Villar, a shortstop in Low A ball, was ranked 22nd among Phillies prospects heading into the season. The results haven't been there yet but BA says he has "plus tools across the board except for power."
Mark Berman of FOX 26 Houston first reported the agreement late Wednesday night, while Ken Rosenthal, Jayson Stark, Jon Heyman, Matt Gelb, Amy K. Nelson, Jerry Crasnick, and Danny Knobler contributed more information today.

Oswalt Approves Phillies Deal; Option Won't Be Exercised
1:53pm: The deal is done, tweets Rosenthal. Piecing this together, it appears the Astros send Oswalt and $11MM to the Phillies for Happ, Gose, and Villar, with the Phils potentially adding $1MM to Oswalt's buyout but not exercising his option.
A few tweets from Crasnick: the Cardinals and Padres made late runs at Oswalt today.
1:44pm: Rosenthal tweets that Oswalt's option is actually a mutual one. With the trade, his buyout will increase from $1MM to $2MM if the Phillies pick up the option and he declines, and remain at $2MM "if he simply opts out on his own." Rosenthal adds that the third player in the deal will be shortstop prospect Jonathan Villar. Some sources spell it "Villan," including the Baseball America Handbook.
1:34pm: Oswalt has accepted the deal, tweets Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
12:51pm: Gose and Happ are definitely in the deal, tweets CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury.
12:12pm: Oswalt plans to OK the deal, but it's not official yet, reports Stark. He adds that the Astros will be sending $11MM. Rosenthal tweets that Oswalt's 2012 option will not be exercised; he'll be compensated some other way. ESPN's Amy K. Nelson tweets that Oswalt will get $1MM added by the Phillies to the buyout of his '12 option. She adds that the details are being worked out now regarding Oswalt retaining his no-trade clause.
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick tweets of a rumor that speedy outfield prospect Anthony Gose may be in the deal. AOL FanHouse's Ed Price tweets that he's hearing Gose and Worley could be in the swap.
10:43am: Rosenthal tweets that he hears Singleton is not in the deal.
10:17am: The identities of the other two players going to Houston remain unknown, but ESPN's Jayson Stark says the Astros have pushed hard for minor league first baseman Jonathan Singleton.
9:04am: The Astros will receive three players for Oswalt, tweets Rosenthal, while also paying a "very significant" part of his salary. Happ will be one of the three. Astros owner Drayton McLane has been negotiating directly with Phillies president David Montgomery, reports CBS' Danny Knobler.
7:37am: SI's Jon Heyman hears the Astros and Phillies were discussing Happ, righty Vance Worley, and two younger pitchers (Twitter link). Worley, a 22-year-old righty, spent most of 2010 at Double A, posting a 3.20 ERA, 6.6 K/9, and 2.9 BB/9. Baseball America ranked him 18th among Phillies prospects heading into the season, predicting a future as a back-end starter or middle reliever.
1:08am: The Astros and Phillies have reached an agreement on a Roy Oswalt trade, reports Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston. Berman says the Astros are now waiting for Oswalt's approval, having hammered out the players and money with the Phils. Wednesday morning, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports had reported that the players were "pretty much agreed on." Lefty J.A. Happ has been a rumored part of the deal for a while now.
Oswalt's contract has $5.46MM left from his $15MM salary this year, $16MM in 2011, and a 2012 option for $16MM with a $2MM buyout. It remains to be seen how the Astros and Phillies settled the financials and whether the Phils will pick up Oswalt's option, though SI's Jon Heyman hears that the Astros are sending a lot of money to the Phillies (Twitter link).

Ted Lilly Rumors: Wednesday
Ted Lilly may have made his last start as a Cub last night, tossing five-plus shutout innings in Houston while lowering his ERA to 3.69. The latest on the lefty up top:
- The Dodgers are more focused on Lilly and Paul Maholm than Roy Oswalt, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
- The market for Lilly has picked up, according to Stark (on Twitter). The Tigers are involved, and so are the Dodgers, Twins and Phillies.
- The Phillies have inquired on Lilly, according to Rosenthal (on Twitter). Ed Price of AOL FanHouse hears rumblings about a possible Lilly-J.A. Happ deal (Twitter link). However, Stark hears that the Phils, who are on the lefty's no-trade list, won't deal Happ for Lilly. The Twins and Dodgers remain involved, but the Mets are waiting to hear "from above" before pursuing Lilly more aggressively, according to Rosenthal.
- The Cubs have indicated a recent willingness to assume some of the $4.43MM owed to Lilly, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark. That'd help the chances of a Dodgers deal. Unfortunately for the Cubs, potential Lilly suitors like the Mets and Tigers may be reassessing their chances.
- The Twins have asked about Lilly, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but their presence on his no-trade list means he'd require additional compensation to accept a deal.

Roy Oswalt Rumors: Wednesday
The lowdown on Roy Oswalt, with the newest buzz up top…
- The Phils and Astros have a deal in place that would send Oswalt to Philadelphia, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 Sports in Houston. Oswalt, who is aware of the potential deal, can make it official by waiving his no-trade clause. Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman are working to confirm the story on Twitter.
- Talks between the Phillies and Astros have intensified in the last day, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The clubs have more or less agreed on players – J.A. Happ and prospects would go to Houston – but they can't agree on how much salary the Astros will absorb. Jayson Werth is off the market, so taking on payroll won't be easy for the Phils.
- The Dodgers are now more focused on trying to obtain Ted Lilly or Paul Maholm.
- The Phillies and Astros are now dealing one-on-one, with no other teams involved, according to Olney (via Twitter). Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Phillies are the favorites to acquire Oswalt and notes (on Twitter) that the Yanks inquired once.
- Three or four teams will likely be involved if the Phillies acquire Oswalt, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (via Twitter).
- Astros owner Drayton McLane told Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle that a trade seems likely. "I'd say it's about 60% that something could be done and 40% that Roy will be here next year," McLane said.
- Oswalt is telling friends that he can't wait to leave Houston, according to Newsday's Ken Davidoff. The righty says he won't necessarily insist that teams pick up his 2012 option.
- Oswalt wants ample time to decide on any trade, reports MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. He doesn't want the Astros coming to him an hour or two before Saturday's deadline.
- The Reds made a cursory call on Oswalt, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but no names were exchanged. John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote today that Oswalt is too expensive for the Reds.
- The Cardinals are out and the Dodgers are making no progress, reports Rosenthal. The Phillies' front office is still divided about giving up prospects and taking on Oswalt's contract, though the players they'd send to the Astros are "pretty much agreed on." Earlier today, Joel Sherman of the New York Post wrote that the Cardinals remain in contact with the Astros for Oswalt.
- If Oswalt takes the mound Friday night against the Brewers, "the odds of him being traded are down to almost nothing" says Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle. ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Astros are "working very, very hard" to find an acceptable Oswalt deal despite all the obstacles.
- The Phillies "remain top contenders" for Oswalt, writes MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Zolecki's source thinks Oswalt's 2012 club option "is not the sticking point it has been made to be." On the other hand, ESPN's Jayson Stark feels that if the Phillies retain Jayson Werth as expected they won't have a way to clear 2010 payroll for Oswalt.

Marsha Ambrosius- Friends & Lovers Tour
Fine Line Music Cafe
318 North 1st Ave
Minneapolis, MN, 55401
Doors 8:00 PM
This event is 18 and over
What is there not to say about "The Songstress?" Talented singer-songwriter, incredible live performer, revered platinum-selling artist, Grammy® nominated and after over a decade in the music game, Marsha Ambrosius is still here. Telling her story, captivating audiences with a perfected freshness and proving that good music will always prevail. Now two years after her solo debut Late Nights & Early Mornings, Marsha Ambrosius is ready to take you on a journey once again with her highly-anticipated sophomore album Friends & Lovers.
Hailing from Liverpool, England, fans first got a taste of Marsha's talent as the singing half of the duo Floetry. Their 2000 debut Floetic produced signature singles like "Say Yes" and "Getting Late" as well as four Grammy nods. Following the 2005 release of their second studio album, Flo'Ology, the ladies veered creatively and personally. While the split was difficult, Marsha continued to build a name for herself as a songwriter and producer, penning "Butterflies" for the late Michael Jackson and other hits for artists such as Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx and Nas, and was honored by BMI as their Songwriter of the Year.

We haven't heard much news lately about the rapidly approaching (summer 2015!) live-action Attack on Titan films, but that all changed today with the release of teaser images showing off the principal stars in costume.
In total, 13 images were released. Several of the characters are not from the manga, and were created for the films. New character Shikishima, who is labeled "world's strongest man," is apparently a key figure in the films' story.
To commemorate the finale of Naruto, November 26 will see the release of a new Naruto soundtrack album, Naruto Super Sounds, and a live event in Tokyo's Shibuya district, with several of the musicians present, says anime news site Anime Anime.
We recently posted our review of the first live-action Parasyte film, which opens wide in Japan on November 29. With its premiere nearly upon us, four new TV commercials are here to promote the theatrical release of the first film as well as its sequel.
Hit the jump for more.
Y'all know there's a Death Note musical on the way, right? Set to premiere in Tokyo next April, the musicial's cast and crew were announced this past September. Now we're getting a first look (and more importantly, listen).
In a video released this week by talent agency HoriPro, actors Kenji Urai and Hayato Kakizawa, who are both playing Light Yamagi, sing a piece called "Bunkiten" ("Crossroads").
On the final eve of her first arena tour, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu spent a few moments telling the audience what's been on her mind lately.
"Lately a lot of bad things have been happening to me. The entertainment industry is really difficult. Just going outside and walking around, I hear people say things about my private life… I feel like it's a dirty industry. I thought about quitting," said Kyary.

I would like to thank you for taking such good care of me. I've never experienced customer service that was so personal and caring. I was pretty frustrated and within a few minutes I was completely disarmed with my jaw to the floor. Keep it up, that is what makes your company stand out. People need more of that in their consumer experiences. The money hungry corporate world has ruined the meaning of the phrase "customer service." Anyhow I wanted to tell you that I got my John Deere boots very quickly (just in time for work). I did want to ask about the WigWam socks that you were gonna send complimentary for me to try out. I'm very interested to try them. You convinced me that cotton socks may not be the way to go. Again I appreciate everything. You've earned yourself a lifelong customer."

The secrets to making a positive first impression are nearly
as mysterious as you might think. All you have to be is your sweet, charming
self. But paying attention to these seven focus areas will help ya bust the new
girl nerves and gain the confidence you need for your big first day.
Stop fussing
You know how when you're nervous, you touch your face a lot
or twirl your hair. It's time to put a stop to bad habits. Remind yourself that
you look great, and those locks don't need any more smoothing, thank you very
much. If it helps, peek into a compact or duck into the girls' bathroom to reassure
yourself that your outfit and makeup are in place.
You don't need to plaster one on to rival Miss America, but
popping a grin will set your soon-to-be friend at ease and show that you're
happy to be there and to make a new bud…even if your belly is doing back flips.
Be sincere
There's nothing worse than talking idly to an individual who
clearly doesn't care about what you have to say. Come up with a genuine
conversation starter, like, "Oh wow! Your shoes are so cute!" to kick things
off, and then lets the chatter flow.
Ask questions
If the convo is stalling, pull out some tried-'n'-true
questions. Ask how her summer break was, who she has for English, any advice
she can dish for navigating the halls—anything goes! If you're talking right before
the bell, don't blabber on and on since you both have somewhere to be. But do show an interest.
Listen up!
Speaking of showing interest, it's wicked important that you
actually listen to what your would-be-pal is saying and to remember it. File details like her passion for karate and
karaoke away so you can use them the next time you speak. Maybe she'll invite
you to a class or sing-off!
Make eye contact
I know you're nervous, but staring at your shoes isn't gonna
help. You shouldn't stare her down, but do
make eye contact as you speak. It shows that you're actively listening to what
she has to say instead of critiquing her outfit or looking for someone else to
chat up.
See ya later!
Feelin' good friendship vibes? Make casual plans to see her
later—in homeroom, lunch, on the bus, after school, whenever. Everybody likes
to have plans, especially on a hectic first day.
Good luck, girlie!

It's tough when you and your buds don't agree on
guys…especially if you're head-over-heels for them. Sometimes you need to let
your friends make their own mistakes—sometimes that's the only way we can learn
to make better choices in the future.
It's only fair to your bud that you be honest with her.
Think about it: If she starts dating this dude you don't like and finds out
that you're not so keen on her guy, she'll probably be pretty angry that you
didn't tell her. Don't interfere with her choices, but do sit down with your other bud and tell her why you
think he's not right for her. Be ready with concrete examples, like how he
treated his last girlfriend, instead of simply saying that he's disrespectful.
And if they do start dating? Swallow your gripes and smile,
sweetie. Maybe he'll surprise you and be the best BF you could imagine. If he's
not, be ready to listen and support your bestie. And can the "I told ya so!"
She so doesn't need to hear it.
Good luck, babe!

Hello fellow fodorites. I am planning a trip to Jasper to visit my daughter who will be finishing up a summer job on Oct 17th.
It's early in the planning process but have a couple of key questions before we book flights:
What are the pros or cons of being there for Canadian Thanksgiving?
Her birthday is the 8th and I would like to be there for that but don't know whether to clear out before the weekend or stay on because of the weekend?
Secondly, a friend is coming with me and will probably have a week longer leave than myself (I will have 2 weeks total, coming from Oz.) I have visited this area previously, she has never been to Canada and is thinking perhaps of doing Vancouver Island on her own.
If so, would she be better doing that the week before we meet (late Sept/early Oct) or after I leave (mid October.)
Thanks very much in advance. More questions to come }
Thanksgiving Jasper or not?

Here are the temperature ranges for last October from AccuWeather. Be prepared. http://www.accuweather.com/en/ca/jasper/t0e/month/51956?monyr=10/01/2013

For Vancouver, I don't think it will make a huge difference between those weeks. It will be colder as the year progresses, but it's not like the mountains where you quickly start getting into the potential for winter weather.
Thanksgiving weekend can be kind of a last hurrah for experiencing the Rockies pre-winter - a lot of tours, (some) hotels and services tend to shut down for the winter after that weekend. So if you want to do any tours, you'll want to come before Thanskgiving.
The holiday tends to be more about family & friends, so it's not something with a lot of related festivities or celebrations. So for you, your friend & your daughter, there may be no real reason to hang out for Thanksgiving other than to enjoy a nice meal (which might be cheaper another weekend).
The advantages to leaving before Thanksgiving would be to avoid the spike in accommodation prices that accompanies a holiday weekend and reducing the risk of encountering the first nasty blasts of winter. October can be unpredictable weather-wise, but the earlier you come, (theoretically) the lower your chance of getting an early season snowstorm. (No matter, make sure to bring layers, mittens and hat as the weather can go from glorious to snowy very quickly!).
The mountains don't tend to be overwhelmingly busy for Thanksgiving (compared to summer holiday weekends), but the they are small, so you need to make reservations for the weekend as soon as possible for accommodations and book ahead for a meal at a restaurant. Some places may require you too book a 2 or 3 night package over the weekend - not an uncommon practice around long weekends.

"What are the pros or cons of being there for Canadian Thanksgiving?"
In the mountains, weather always has potential for adventure, any time of year. That being said, we have spent some glorious warm days over Thanksgiving around Jasper, with even some flowers still a-blooming! (Think afternoon highs of 18-22 degrees C, much cooler nights.) But there could be lots of snow too. So depending on your perspective, weather could fall as a pro or con. Helpful, I know.
Prices tend to go up for accommodations as it is a long weekend but definitely should be booked in advance; many restaurants will offer Thanksgiving type dinners that you might enjoy, a kind of cultural experience. I don't think Oz has a similar holiday??
"would she be better doing that the week before we meet (late Sept/early Oct) or after I leave (mid October.)"
I cannot think of any reasons why Vancouver Island would be better at one end or the other - the main consideration is that she books in advance for the Thanksgiving long weekend, if it becomes part of the travel schedule. Maybe others will have other ideas to offer on this question.
Report Abuse
have her use her week alone before...chances are the weather will be better and after a week alone...she'll enjoy having company.
Report Abuse
Thanks everyone!
Itt, she may enjoy a week alone after 2 weeks with me !
This info is a great help in all seriousness. What about road conditions at this time of year? Last time we visited it was July and despite "the wrong side of the road thing" I was comfortable driving. Not so confident in snowy conditions which we don't experience?
Report Abuse
there is likely going to be snow at the higher elevations. the lower elevations could be sunny and warm and beautiful. or we could get an early winter snowstorm. watch the road reports and keep some flexibility in your plans. if it snows, might only be for a day and will be melted the next day.

CPSC Tips for choosing Toys for Children
Select toys to suit the age, abilities, skills and interest level of the intended child. Toys too advanced may pose safety hazards to younger children.
For infants, toddlers and all children who still mouth objects, avoid toys with small parts, which could pose a fatal choking hazard.
Look for sturdy construction, such as tightly-secured eyes, noses and other potential small parts.
For all children under 8, avoid toys that have sharp edges and points.
Avoid electric toys with heating elements for a child under 8.
Be a label reader. Look for toy labels that give age and safety recommendations and use that information as a guide.
Check toy instructions for clarity – for both you and, when appropriate, the child.
Immediately discard plastic wrappings on toys, which can cause suffocation, before they become deadly playthings.
Choking Hazards
Keep small objects like small toys and parts of toys, marbles, balloons, small balls and coins off the floor and out of reach of children.
Toys designed for older children should be kept out of the hands of little ones.
Follow labels that give age recommendations; these age recommendations are based on safety concerns.
Teach older children to help keep their toys away from younger siblings.
Check the eyes and noses of stuffed animals to ensure they are properly secured.

Koukounaries : Accommodation Only
Koukounaries is the place for beach babes on Skiathos. The island's most photographed beach, it's a dreamy, kilometre-long crescent of sands ranged around a wooded bay. The soft sands melt into sapphire, shallow waters, whilst the pines behind offer cooling shade, creating a perfect day-long haven for families and sunbathers. Dotted along the shores, you'll find friendly cafes and tavernas, as well as watersports like windsurfing and water-skiing, whilst further behind the sands, more shops, bars and restaurants await. Come evening, the atmosphere stays low-key, with the local hotels providing most entertainments, although many people head for Skiathos Town, 12 kilometres away, for its ebullient nightlife. The capital also makes a fantastic day trip with its funky boutiques and cafes, whilst outdoor types will love Koukounaries' scenic nature reserve, teeming with birds and fascinating wildlife.

Container ships are running full on the westbound trans-Atlantic as shippers scramble to complete their annual contract negotiations with carriers at a time when the new P3 Network and other expanding alliances have not yet finalized their new service schedules.
The P3 alliance carriers — Maersk Line, Mediterranean Shipping Co. and CMA CGM — are extending last year's contracts at last year's freight rates until they can implement their new service schedules, even though space is tight as they try to even out shipments delayed by weather this winter. Some of the carriers in the G6 Alliance and the expanded CKYHE Alliance are also extending last year's contracts while they are still adjusting their schedules. Other carriers are seeking rate increases in the new contracts.
"With all of the issues with the alliances shaking out, there's a lot of turmoil in the market because of what's going to happen with the changes in alliances and their port rotations, and where their allocations fall," said Alison Leavitt, managing director of the Wine and Spirits Shippers Association, who completed negotiations in Barcelona last week with the association's 13 trans-Atlantic carriers. "None of them are talking rates yet, because they have not finalized where they are going, so we're doing a lot of extensions."
Some vessel-sharing agreements have fallen apart, and others have been reshuffled as carriers try to figure it out. "It's a mixed bag. Some don't want to risk [having customers] jumping around and want to keep their market share stable, while others are insisting on an increase," she said.

But when the alliance carriers sort out their new schedules, they are very likely to seek higher rates. "They are very, very confident about some growth in the trans-Atlantic and of course confident that they will be able to issue some increases," Leavitt said. With the volumes the WSSA needs to book on behalf of its member importers, it is committing to space with every steamship line because it needs all the space it can get. "We need the allocations on every line, so we will take increases with some of them, and the ones that are status quo will get more business." Vessel space has been in short supply this winter for the first time in a few years, partly because of weather-related problems. The WSSA "wants to have all of the service options available," even at the cost of higher freight rates, she said.
The WSSA meets with its carriers in a different European city every year to negotiate annual contracts for the U.S. importers that are its members. This year's negotiations in Barcelona included arrangements for shipments to the U.S. of Spanish wines, which are among the European wines that are in the most demand in the U.S.
Wine imports, which constitute the largest U.S. import commodity by volume from the Mediterranean and South Europe, are holding steady, despite a 1 percent decline last year. "The U.S. market for European wine is relatively stable, but it's a mature market," Leavitt said. "Spain is seeing some growth, but overall U.S. demand is not increasing."
At the same time European demand for U.S. wines, especially California wines, is increasing. "The weak dollar has certainly helped, but the European market as a whole has not yet recovered." She said the U.K. and Ireland are very strong markets for U.S. wine and spirits and are also seeing a steady increase in U.S. demand for Scotch and Irish whiskeys. "Carriers are getting increases on the eastbound trade, and the trade lane from California to Europe is virtually full," Leavitt said.
