" I would trade Callaspo or Cantu for bullpen help. "
Callaspo and Cantu aren't in the same class. Callaspo actually has value. And I'm not trading Callaspo until it's proven there's another option for 3rd base.
"Callaspo and Cantu aren't in the same class. Callaspo actually has value. And I'm not trading Callaspo until it's proven there's another option for 3rd base."
Don't you think Izzy is a proven option for 3rd?
The way I see it, Izzy is proven at three positions and backs them all up. He should and will get a lot of playing time in that role.
Callaspo is either our 3rd baseman or he's traded. Trumbo needs to prove he can play the position before Callaspo is moved though. If Callaspo is the 3rd baseman then Trumbo gets AB's as his back-up, Albert's back-up and corner outfield back-up.
Our current depth chart goes this same route.http://losangeles.angels.mlb.com/team/depth_chart/index.jsp?c_id=ana
What could change this depth chart is Trumbo earning 3rd all to himself.
Yes! I had the same thought since Kendrys' splits are much better from the left side.
<They can't trade Callaspo, they will be without a 3rd basemen.>
Just trying to connect the dots via trade rumors..
<The Phillies could start the season with prospect Freddy Galvis at second base, or explore the trade market for alternatives. ESPN.com's Buster Olney hears from rival executives that there's a short list of veteran middle infielders available in trades. Maicer Izturis, Alberto Callaspo, Chris Getz and Blake DeWitt appear to be options for teams seeking infield depth.>
If the Angels decide to keep Callaspo and Izzy along with Trumbo getting 50 or so AB's @3B, Izzy ($3.8M, walk year), will be limited to backup duty behind Aybar and Kendrick.. Considering Aybar and Kendrick are "everyday" players that could potentially limit Izzy to approx. 20 starts this season.
You probably don't want to trade Izzy due to the fact he's the Angels best option to back up Aybar at S/S in case of injury..
If you trade Callaspo and project Trumbo for 50 or so games at 3B, you could probably get by at 3rd base with some combination of Trumbo, Izzy and Cantu with Izzy also backing up S/S and 2B with Amarista in reserve at Salt Lake..
IMO Trumbo is the key to everything.. If the Angels feel he's a reasonable option @3B this year, they will deal Callaspo...
< manager Mike Scioscia said there's no ceiling for the amount of time the young slugger spends at the hot corner. "If he takes this position and runs with it, who knows how many he's going to play?" Scioscia said. "I think he's shown enough that I think we're going to see him playing third base for us. To what extent? We don't know.>
They don't feel he's a reasonable option and they know Izzy is not a full time player.
So Scioscia wasn't quoted as saying "He will be playing some third base for us. To what extent, we don't know"?
That tells me they think he is a reasonable option. If they didn't, he wouldn't play there...
I wouldn't be too concerned about what a manager says during Spring Training, he is just trying to appease some players concerns about what role they will have on the team. Wait until the games actually count and you will see the truth.
I mean seriously, do you really think Abreu is going to get 400-500 ABs? Yet Scioscia said it.
I think Trumbo will be slipped into a few games at third, mainly to get his bat in the order and to give Callaspo a day off. The same thing will happen with Morales and Pujols, and possibly the corner OF positions, but make no mistake, Trumbo is a backup at every position he plays at for the Angels.
Abreu's playing time is a concern for Abreu. Trumbo's playing time is a concern for the team, IMO anyway.
I think those are 2 different situations.
Trumbo grew up local, loves the Angels, and told the team whatever they want he will do it (or at least try). He doesn't care where he plays, he just wants to help the team.
Abreu wants to play, no matter how much it might hurt the team for him to take someone elses glove/bat for a couple days a week...
< they know Izzy is not a full time player >
No, you can't count on Izzy playing everyday, but he has the potential to play 100-120 games or so.
<They don't feel he's a reasonable option>
I used to think that, but I'm not so sure now..
<I mean seriously, do you really think Abreu is going to get 400-500 ABs? Yet Scioscia said it.>
If Abreu had given the Angels any hope that he could still hit this Spring I think 400 plate appearances were possible as a reserve corner outfielder due to the fact Hunter and Wells could use 25-35 off days this season. PB will also need multiple days off this season, due to his chronic hip issues.

In the spring of 2012 the Town of Eastford and the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut joined forces to simplify the Town's scholarship program. For decades, elected officials, staff and volunteers from the Town oversaw the scholarship program's fund accounting, invested its financial assets, worked with residents to create new scholarship opportunities, processed donations, oversaw the student selection process, and completed a variety of other tasks to sustain and grow the Town's scholarship funds.
When the Town began looking for alternative resources to support its scholarship program, a committee determined that the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut was the right fit. For nearly 30 years the Community Foundation has worked with students, families, donors, high schools, postsecondary education institutions, and civic groups. The Foundation currently manages nearly 100 scholarship funds.
In the coming years the partnership will ease the workload for the Town's staff and volunteers while keeping the core functions – selecting the award recipients and fundraising activities – in the hands of Eastford residents.
For more information on the Town of Eastford's scholarship program please contact Kip Parker, Division Director at the Community Foundation: 860-442-3572 or email@example.com.

Love it!!! Got it half a size bigger and it still fits GREAT!!!! Love the colors! December 19, 2013
Run BIG! I have a few pairs of BKE sole wedges, and I am always a perfect size 7; the 7 in these was huge!!...I could move my foot so it either left about an inch in front of my toes, or a big gap behind my heel. I could've literally sized a whole size down to get correct fit. I have pretty thin feet and if the fabric stretched too much, size would be even bigger issue. Also, the fabric lines the front of the shoe bed, and it is a bit rough of a fabric...I'm not sure if that would be irritating after wearing awhile, but good to be aware of. April 15, 2013

Projev ministra Schwarzenberga v Evropském parlamentu
13.03.2009 / 12:49
Projev ministra Schwarzenberga v Evropském parlamentu v rozpravě ke Gaze v Evropském parlamentu dne 14.1.2009 (v angličtině).
Mr President, thank you very much for giving me the floor in this timely debate on the dramatic situation in the Middle East.
Since the start of Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip on 27 December, we have witnessed a steep deterioration of the situation on all levels. The humanitarian consequences of this operation are dramatic for the population in Gaza. Since the start of the operation, over 900 Palestinians have died, of whom roughly 30% were women and children. We are profoundly disturbed by the loss of civilian life, and the matter has been repeatedly declared in our presidential statements. The European Union deplores the ongoing hostilities which have led to such high numbers of civilian casualties, and we want to express our sincere condolences to the families of the victims.
We are particularly concerned by such incidents as the attack on the United Nations school in Jebaliya and the firing on humanitarian convoys leading to the death of humanitarian staff. Over 4 200 Palestinians have been injured, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. According to the United Nations agency, an estimated 28 000 people have been displaced since the beginning of the hostilities. A large number of them are seeking refuge in the shelters; the rest of the internally displaced people are staying with relatives.
The greatest humanitarian needs are related to the large number of wounded and the overwhelmed health services, whereas displaced people and host families need specific assistance such as food, shelter, water and non-food items. Since the water system was badly damaged and needs urgent repair, the Gaza population has hardly any access to safe water. Therefore, providing drinking water is of the utmost necessity.
There are also extensive food shortages at all levels of the population. Since 4 November last year, foreign NGOs' personnel have not been allowed access to Gaza to deliver and monitor humanitarian aid properly. Also, the number of trucks entering Gaza has increased since military operations started. The current daily average of 55 trucks remains pitifully insufficient compared to a need for at least 300 trucks daily to cover the needs of the 80% of the population which has become aid-dependent.
The European Union has been closely following the tragic events from the outset. Three days after the operation started, foreign ministers met in an extraordinary session in Paris to discuss the situation. They agreed on the need for an immediate and permanent ceasefire and immediate humanitarian action in stepping up the peace process. The summit aimed mainly to assist in ending violence and alleviating the humanitarian crisis. The presidency led a diplomatic mission in the Middle East. The EU ministerial troika visited the region on 4-6 January for meetings in Egypt, in Israel, with the Palestinian authority, and in Jordan. The High Representative also visited Syria, Lebanon and Turkey.
The outlines of a solution to the crisis have started to emerge. First and foremost, there must be an unconditional halt to rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel and an end to Israeli military action, to enable the sustained delivery of humanitarian aid and the restoration of public services and badly-needed medical treatment. The six-month ceasefire, which expired on 19 December, was far from perfect. Israel suffered through periodic rocket fire and the knowledge that its foe was amassing greater firepower. Gaza endured a really punishing economic blockade, totally undermining its economic development.
In order to achieve a sustainable ceasefire, we have to look for a sensible compromise entailing an end to rocket launches and reopening of the crossings. A viable solution must address the tunnels across the borders, especially along the Philadelphia route, to prevent the smuggling of weapons. It must also lead to the systematic and controlled opening of all border crossings to enable the Gaza economy to develop.
We believe that the deployment of international missions to monitor implementation of the ceasefire and to act as a liaison between the two sides could be helpful. In this regard, the European Union is ready to return its observers to the Rafah crossing and to extend the mandate of the European border mission in scope and content. We acknowledge that Israel has agreed to a daily lull to allow desperately-needed food, fuel and medicine into Gaza. However, only a full and immediate ceasefire would allow the delivery and distribution of the large quantities of humanitarian aid that Gaza so desperately needs and for the resumption of basic services. Israel must ensure the unhindered and safe access for humanitarian aid and other essential supplies, including food, medicines and fuel, to the Palestinian civilian population of the Gaza Strip, as well as the safe passage of civilian persons and humanitarian personnel into and from the Gaza Strip.
But even a durable and comprehensive solution in Gaza will not be sufficient to install peace in the region. We need to address broader and more complicated challenges. We need a new and inclusive strategy that addresses the internal Palestinian political situation, as well as a resumption of the peace talks which have been suspended due to the Gaza crisis. Palestinian reconciliation, and a government representative of the aspirations of the Palestinian people, is more necessary than ever. We therefore support the mediation effort undertaken by Egypt in accordance with the Arab League's resolutions of 26 November 2008.
As pointed out in the conclusions of the GAERC in December 2008, the European Union is prepared to support any stable Palestinian government that pursues policies and measures reflecting the Quartet's principles. The European Union stresses the need to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East and calls for the resumption of Palestinian-Israeli negotiations and the resolving of all outstanding issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including all core issues.
A durable and comprehensive solution will ultimately depend on real progress in the Middle East peace process. Urgent and great efforts by the parties will be needed to achieve a comprehensive peace, based on the vision of a region where two democratic states, Israel and Palestine, live side by side in peace, in secure and recognised borders.
The latest outbreak of violence in the Middle East might not only set back prospects of a peaceful settlement in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. The political damage the fighting is causing, both in terms of regional polarisation and radicalisation, and in the further discrediting of moderate forces, must not be neglected either. Only a viable Palestinian state will bring security to a region that has suffered for too long. This is especially in the interests of Israel and its neighbours. Therefore, urgent measures must immediately be taken to reverse the damage done by the military action in order to restore the possibility of an equitable negotiated outcome.

Fergie: United still FA Cup's main draw
Sir Alex Ferguson still believes in the romance of the FA Cup - and feels Manchester United are the hottest date of all.
Saturday's third round tie at West Ham will be the 37th consecutive time United have been televised in the competition.
Not since their home game with then non-league Exeter in 2005 has a Red Devils FA Cup match failed to be screened live.
And given amongst that fixture list are three meetings with Liverpool and Arsenal, two apiece with Everton, Tottenham and Manchester City, plus encounters with Newcastle, Chelsea and Leeds, Ferguson feels sufficiently emboldened to indulge in a little mischief making.
"The FA Cup is still the best domestic tournament in the world," he said.
"The Champions League is a bigger challenge. We are playing Real Madrid and there is an FA Cup round either side of that.
"Let's be honest, where would you prefer to be West Ham or Real Madrid?
"But even though I don't believe the semi-finals should be played at Wembley, the FA Cup still has the romance about it. You are waiting for that draw. And we are a hot ball at the moment.
"You think we are kidding?
"Over the last two or three years we have had some hard games.
"Everybody wants us in the first round. The sponsors are delighted."
Yet for all the attraction, and United's status as record 11 times winners, they have not actually lifted the trophy since 2004.
And as Rio Ferdinand sat out that Millennium Stadium victory over Millwall as he served an eight-month suspension for missing a drugs test, it means only Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Darren Fletcher of Ferguson's present squad have winners' medals.
"Rio mentioned it in the dressing room last season," he said.
"He has never won it. It means a lot to someone like that, who has been in the game for such a long time."
It means this could be Ferdinand's last chance given his United contract expires at the end of the season and there is interest in the 34-year-old from the United States and Far East.
"We are not panicking about that," said Ferguson.
"I don't think Rio wants to leave and, as I have said before, he can play on.
"I don't think he has the same issue with his back that he had a couple of years ago. It is manageable now.
"There is no way you would be expecting him to play every four days right through a season anyway.
"Getting rest at the right time definitely helps him and he does a lot of work on his pre-match preparation now, with yoga and a lot of other things to help him sustain his playing time."
As skipper Nemanja Vidic is, like Ferdinand, presently restricted to one game a week as he eases himself back to full fitness after a nightmare 16 months, Ferguson could be excused a few concerns.
The fact he has none owes much to the form of Northern Ireland international Jonny Evans, who has played more often than either of his more experienced team-mates this term.
"I agree," said Ferguson, when asked if Evans was one of the most improved players at Old Trafford.
"He is the future. Nemanja and Rio know that. His form is improving all the time. As he matures and gets experience year by year he is getting better.
"There is no end to his improvement, which is a great sign."
However, with Vidic needing a game and both Chris Smalling and Phil Jones available after their own injury problems, it might be time to give Evans a short break from a tournament that provides Ferguson with so many memories, not least those awful white suits Liverpool sported before the 1996 final, which they lost thanks to Eric Cantona's late volley.
"I thought that was a 1-0 victory for us right away when I saw those suits," said Ferguson.
"I saw Roy Evans' face. In his black suit and nice red tie, he was looking round and the bakers XI came out. I think Roy was mortified."

The minor requires six courses: a minimum of four in the Italian program, on campus, beginning with Italian 127, and either two additional courses in Italian literature or culture or two courses, which may be taught in English, that deal centrally with one field of Italian cultural studies (for example, Italian art, literature, cinema, or music). All courses taken outside of the department must be approved by the department chair. Students should plan on taking 127 and 128 consecutively, preferably before going abroad. Students planning to take fifth-semester Italian while abroad should see the department chair.

"The T rating of an ac, dc switch is its ability to control satisfactorily a tungsten-filament lamp load of that rating. The peculiar characteristic...is that the resistance of the tungsten-filament to the passage of current is extremely low when the lamp filament is cold.As the temperature of the lamp filament increases, the current decreases...Therefore, switches used with these loads must be capable of ...handling the inrush current, which will be considerably greater than the normal hot operating current of the circuit."
This isn't as much of a problem as it used to be. At one time, offices & classrooms were lit by 300 watt 0r 500 watt mogul based lamps with a silvered bulb end. Tore out many of these early in my career.

Cruise America's paradise in style, with 14 restaurants and 9 bars and lounges, excellent family accommodations, spacious suites and lots of balconies – perfect for whale watching, witnessing Kilauea Volcano or taking in the dramatic views of the Napali Coast.

Kahului is a census-designated place (CDP) on the island of Maui, in the U.S. state of Hawaii. Kahului is not generally considered a tourist destination itself, but does feature the Alexander and Baldwin Sugar Museum, Kanaha Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary, Kanaha Beach County Park, and the Maui Arts and Cultural Center. The port of Kahului admits cruise ship guests for excursions into the island of Maui.
Today your ship remains moored at Kahului until departure at 6:00 PM. Explore the island of Maui today from Kahului, an island rich in coral reefs, rainforest, volcanic peaks, beaches and waterfalls. There is much to discover here.
Hilo is a town on the Big Island of Hawaii. The county seat and largest city in Hawaii County, Hilo is the one of the best starting points to explore the eastern half of the island, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Most Downtown Hilo stores are located along the "Bayfront", or Kamehameha Avenue. Many of the activities that are available are strictly daytime, and focus on the ocean. Surf culture is big, and boards may be rented from Orchidland Surf, located in the Bayfront district.
Kona is famous for sportfishing, snorkeling, sunsets and coffee. It means "leeward" in Hawaiian. The northern portion of the Kona side of the Big Island is also known as the Kohala district. The weather and ocean conditions can be vastly different on each side of the island depending on the time of year and the predominant trade winds.
Kauai, the "Garden Isle," is home to several natural wonders, such as the Wailua River, Waimea Canyon, and the Na Pali Coast. Mount Waialeale is known as one of the rainiest spots in the world. Po`ipu, on the south side, is the major visitor destination for the island, with abundant sun and much resort development. Most of the major hotel/resort chains, such as Hyatt, Hilton, and Sheraton, have their main Kauai resorts in Po`ipu. Lihu`e, on the island's southeast side, is the civic and commercial center of the island, host to the island's main airport, county offices, and largest shopping mall (Kukui Grove Center). Kapa`a, on the east side, about a 20 minute drive north of Lihu`e, is the largest population center on the island. It anchors what is known as the Coconut Coast.
With your ship moored at Kauai until departure at 2:00 PM today, you have the morning to explore the area at leisure. One thing you'll likely notice is the thousands of wild chickens across the island, which were initially brought as food by the first Polynesian inhabitants.
This morning you'll arrive back at Honolulu where you will bid farewell to your fellow cruisemates, and disembark from your ship.

"I just want to thank you for a wonderfully organized vacation and barge experience in France. We were pleased with every aspect of our vacation and will definitely recommend your company. We will also certainly recommend our exceptionally capable, pleasant guide in Paris. She was knowledgeable and fun to be with. I gave this trip a 10.

"Dear David,
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting together the magnificent Antarctica Tour that my daughter and I just finished. Every detail worked perfectly from the time we got on the plane at SeaTac airport in Seattle, until the time we returned to SeaTac.
Giselle Lopez, the excellent tour guide in Buenos Aires was waiting for us at the airport there with a car and driver. Her half day tour of the city was excellent--she is a fantastic guide and so knowledgeable. When we checked into our hotel room, it was just great--and then we turned on the TV to a local news channel and were greeted with the news that a new pope had just been chosen and he was from Argentina! (How did you arrange the timing on that?) The location of our Hotel Madero was perfect for a short walk in the vicinity. That evening, in spite of a horrific traffic jam, our driver arrived on time to take us to Rojo Tango. Next morning we were taken to the airport right on schedule.
We were met in Ushuaia by a guide and van who took us on a tour of the National Park. Again we were fortunate to have such a knowledgeable guide. Las Hayas Hotel is definitely a winner. Our room was deluxe and dinner couldn't have been finer. Next morning we took a cab into Ushuaia for some shopping and lunch. Our driver met us a promised at the Hotel Albatross and delivered us to our cruise ship (our bags had been picked up that morning by the cruise company at Las Hayas).
The Russian cruise ship, Akademik Sergey Vavilov, was another winner. We had a lovely cabin (my daughter insists it was the best one on the ship because of size and location). Surprisingly, many of the Staff were from Seattle, the Pacific Northwest and Canada, which made for a lot of conversation for us. Again the Staff were so knowledgeable and helpful and took special care of this 80-year-old little lady. The lectures on board were great, the food delicious, the guests delightful. The Russian crew were a delight taking care of our needs efficiently and quietly.
Antarctica is so very special and spectacular. We came home with so many amazing photos and videos. We have been regaling our friends with our adventures.
From the time we left the cruise ship in Ushuaia til I walked in my front door, it was 33-1/2 hours! Next time could you arrange for Scottie to "beam us up?"
Again, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for a truly amazing once in a lifetime adventure. I hope to call on you again in the future.

"We have now returned from our splendid tour: Munich to Budapest. Thank you very much indeed. It exceeded all our expectations, even the weather cooperated. Every driver and guide was on time – even early – and was efficient and friendly. We were surprised that the tour was so "private" and personal. The networking between your office and local enterprises works very well. The ship's crew and services were impressive. So thank you again. We will certainly recommend you to our friends."

You Picked HIM?! 7 Things You Should Never Say to a Bride-to-Be
I am often the bridesmaid and never the bride. Unlike many of my friends, I've never even been engaged. So, you can imagine how frustrating it becomes when my friends (the brides-to-be) become Bridezilla's. I want to scream at my a wedding planner! I want to sob in a corner because the cake is supposed to be red velvet, not chocolate! Me, me, me, me!!! Okay. I needed to release that rage. Let us celebrate their engagement and union. Let's try not to upset them by pushing their buttons…by accident.

I really like how the history, development, and decline of the lute are explained. As a guitar player I'm interested in the lute as a precursor to the classical guitar. I wanted to see how a round back instrument is made. This book goes into much more detail than several books I have on classical guitar construction. I think it would be fun to make a ukulele or classical guitar with a lute style body shape and rounded back.
Excellent book and very well written by someone with a lot of experience- unusually good value
Thanks for speedy and reliable delivery of the quality item I purchased- as usual your standards are excellent.
This work has had a lot of thought and experience invested in it. It is both a useful reference as well as a book that is just absorbing and gives food for thought as well as practical advice. A must for the library of any stringed instrument maker, I think, especially if you are embarking upon lute construction.
The section which I really liked was the one relating to how he "voices" the lute. It is very clear and precise and one I would like to see emulated in classical guitar construction books
This book contains very valuable and very much the helpful information.
I recommend for all!

Men's and Women's Quarterfinalists Decided at the 2013 Burton Toyota Pro Junior, Surfest, Newcastle Australia
MEREWETHER, Newcastle, NSW/Australia (Saturday, February 16, 2013) – The field of junior surfers that started with nearly 200 competitors has been reduced to just eight Quarterfinalists in both the men's and women's divisions at the Burton Toyota Pro Junior at Surfest, Newcastle, Australia today. To stay in the draw you had to be on your game with four foot (1.8 meter) waves and at times tricky conditions challenging a stacked field of Australian and International surfers.
Nikki Van Dijk (Phillip Island, VIC/AUS), 2012 ASP World Junior Champion, started her 2013 Pro Junior campaign in winning form, posting impressive scores with her finely tuned carves and turns. Van Dijk will now face Bronte Macaulay WA/AUS) in tomorrow's Quarterfinals.
"It's fun out there," Van Dijk said. "All of the girls are getting heaps of waves and it's been a fun event so far. I was able to go out and do a few turns, it's sunny and there's a great vibe at this event. The Burton Toyota Pro Junior is a great warm up for next week's ASP 6-Star Hunter Ports Women's Classic, I'd love to win both!"
Cooper Chapman (Narrabeen, NSW/AUS) posted a near-perfect score of 9.65 (out of a possible 10) in his Round of 16 heat today. Chapman finished runner-up on the ASP Australasia Pro Junior Series last year and on current form is already one of the favourites to take top honours in 2013. He will now take on Kanoa Igarashi (USA) in tomorrow's Quarterfinals.
"The wave are starting to fire!" Chapman said. "Hopefully it's this good for the finals tomorrow. I've been having a shocker in man-on-man heats lately, so it's something I've been trying to work on and hopefully that pays off tomorrow."
Leonardo Fioravantu (ITA) is one of only two internationals left in the men's draw at the Burton Toyota Pro Junior. Fioravantu battled through two tough heats today, using his progressive brand of surfing to advance to the Quarterfinals where he will match-up against hometown hero Jake Sylvester (Newcastle, NSW/AUS).
"I'm really stoked to be in the Quarterfinals," Fioravantu said. "This is already a good result for me and hopefully I can keep it going and make the Final. Everyone in the Quarterfinals is capable of winning the event, so I will have to be on my game tomorrow. At home we have some good waves, but it's not as consistent as here in Newcastle."
Tomorrow the Newcastle crowds will no doubt be out in full force to support the last local in the men's draw and past event champion Jake Sylvester (Newcastle, NSW/AUS). In his Round of 32 bout this morning Sylvester posted the highest two-wave heat-total of the event thus far – 17.90 (out of a possible 20). His hunger to win at home and his local knowledge will see him as one of the final day favourites.
"You can't worry about other surfer's scores all the time in your heat," Sylvester said. "I was a bit nervous and just wanted to get through the heat and make it to the man-on-man heats. I've got a good early morning routine going here at Merewether and there's no reason to change it. I'm looking forward to Finals day and next week's ASP 6-Star event!"

Ah, Valentine's Day, a day when millions of singles are made to feel even more lonely than they usually do. There's nothing like this holiday when it comes to being reminded by commercials, candy displays in stores and friends and co-workers talking about their plans with their dates for the big night.
Well there is absolutely no reason you should be alone for this year's holiday or any Valentines Day in the future. If you are, then it's your own fault. I've been hammering at you since the day I started this blog to just take the plunge and join a Dating Site. Just joining one isn't enough either. If you're going to do it then do it right. Put up your picture, fully fill out your profile and try contacting a few people every week until you find the right one.
I remember back in my younger days that I felt like a total loser whenever I was single on Valentine's Day. There is no reason to feel like a pathetic loser for being single. What you should be feeling instead, is resolve. Resolve to be in a happy and healthy relationship by this time next year. If you're unhappy being along then do something about it and change it.
Even if you don't have time to make a real date with someone perhaps you could set up a virtual date. Anyone who has ever gone out to dinner anywhere decent on V-Day knows what I'm talking about when I say that sometimes actual Valentine's dates can be a nightmare of over crowded restaurants and bars. It's my opinion that a Virtual Date can be just as good or even better than a real one in this case.
Another angle to look at here is that this time of year people do tend to be a little more lonely so it's a really good time to contact people on Dating Sites. A lot of people are checking in on them more often in the hopes that someone has tried to contact them. Why not be the one making the contact? Does it get more romantic than meeting the love of your life on Valentine's Day? One thing's for sure, you will always remember the day you met each other.
As always, all of the Online Dating Sites listed at the top of this page offer Mobile Dating as well as Virtual Dating and of course real dating. You can also check out my newest Dating Site Thirties Love and remember that all dating sites are not the same.
Also remember the number one secret to dating success, HAVE FUN on your dates, even the dreaded first date! Happy hunting and don't dodge Cupid's arrows!

Vt. man facing arson charge in horse barn fireThe Associated Press | March 22,2013MONKTON - A 31-year-old Vermont man is being charged with setting fire to a horse barn in Monkton that he owned with his wife.
Police say Dennis White was cited into court on Monday to answer the charge of first-degree arson in connection with the Feb. 24 fire at the barn with attached indoor riding ring.
The barn was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived after a resident reported seeing "an orange glow" in the area of the barn.
There were no injuries and none of the 14 horses being kept at the barn at the time were hurt.
Damage to the barn and its contents was estimated at more than $220,000.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Soil beneath Greenland ice sheet predates dawn of mankind, Hitch faces true Hollawood problem head-on, Mark Twain on school boards, all in today's minute. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

"It is my goal to have Mount Sinai graduates remake the image of the American physician — one who is committed, selfless, and ethical, and at the same time, translational and transformative."
Dean's Statement
Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is proud to stand among the top medical schools in the United States. Our position as a national and international leader in biomedicine is a testament to the expertise and commitment of the entire Mount Sinai community, from our world-class faculty to our outstanding students and trainees to our dedicated staff. During our first fifty years, Icahn School of Medicine has risen to the challenges of our visionary founders with enthusiasm and determination. Our success is driven by a culture of innovation and a thirst for pushing the boundaries of knowledge. We embrace our mission on a daily basis by providing the very best education and clinical care and conducting breakthrough research in an environment of social concern and scholarly inquiry into the causes of and therapies for human disease.
A $2.25 billion strategic plan, with an emphasis on translational medicine, is positioning Icahn School of Medicine for ongoing success. The School has created 14 multidisciplinary research institutes to foster intensive collaboration along a continuum that runs from the laboratory through to patient care. As a result, recent recruits working side-by-side with established faculty are securing unprecedented levels of extramural funding for research and are expanding the volume and scope of our clinical practices. Completion this year of the magnificent 550,000-square-foot Leon and Norma Hess Center for Science and Medicine will enable Mount Sinai scientists and physicians to work in close proximity in order to stimulate collaboration and progress.
It is our expectation that Icahn School of Medicine will be in the vanguard of medical schools whose faculty and students make scientific discoveries that fundamentally enhance our ability to predict, diagnose, treat and prevent human disease. We are making major investments in high performance computing, computational biology, genomics, molecular pathology and imaging, along with the infrastructure to facilitate therapeutic discovery. Most importantly, Mount Sinai has created an environment of innovation and entrepreneurship to encourage our students and faculty to partner in challenging existing limitations of science and medicine in order to create and discover what was previously thought to be impossible.
Icahn School of Medicine is hailed in New York City, the nation and the world as a provider of outstanding patient care. We enjoy a close relationship with The Mount Sinai Hospital, currently ranked among the nation's best hospitals, and the Mount Sinai Health System. Basic research and translational medicine discoveries on the Mount Sinai campus enable our physicians to take cutting edge approaches to the prevention and treatment of a wide variety of conditions. Using a patient-centered model of clinical care, our multidisciplinary Doctors of Mount Sinai Faculty Practice is growing at a robust rate, with patient visits up 14% since 2011. Patient satisfaction scores have never been higher.
Exciting clinical program developments at Mount Sinai in 2012 include designation as an Accountable Care Organization and creation of Manhattan's first Department of Family Medicine and Community Health. These initiatives dovetail with our efforts to expand primary care services by adding physicians to the faculty practice and establishing off-campus physician offices. Emphasizing primary care as a complement to our renowned tertiary and quaternary services creates a continuum of care that ensures excellent treatment for all of our patients.
The luminary research and clinical programs of Icahn School of Medicine converge into a remarkable foundation for education. Faculty across disciplines ensure that our MD, PhD and Masters programs nurture exceptional graduates who will be medical and scientific experts as well as informed advocates and activists, able to advance clinical care and science and serve as catalysts for progress. Mount Sinai's reputation for quality, innovation and social responsibility attracts an outstanding and diverse student body, drawing from the best undergraduate institutions in the country.
Icahn School of Medicine's pioneering curricular approaches have become models for other schools. Our forward-thinking educational philosophy is illustrated in a few examples:
- The Interclerkship Ambulatory Care Track ("InterACT") goes well beyond traditional core clerkships by providing a year-long clinical experience focused on ambulatory medicine and chronic illness. This unique longitudinal clerkship creates strong student-patient bonds, nurtures an interest in chronic illness, and exposes students to socioeconomic and cultural influences on urban health care.
- The new Science and Medicine (SciMed) program joins our groundbreaking Humanities in Medicine (HuMed) program in offering a non-traditional medical school admissions path to highly motivated college sophomores. Accepted HuMed and SciMed undergraduates retain enormous flexibility to explore their interests in humanities, social sciences and other sciences rather than follow a traditional premed route. Both programs contribute to the diversity of interests, strengths and backgrounds that are hallmarks of our student body.
- Mount Sinai's Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences has established a Center for Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship to advance the invention and development of new biomedical technologies. Novel PhD and Masters curricula will use team-based approaches to teach the importance of harnessing a broad array of expertise to address the complex issues that emerge as scientific discovery is translated into marketed products. Courses on market analysis, legal issues and problem-solving will expose students across the science spectrum to entrepreneurial thought leaders.
These and many other programs at Icahn School of Medicine train our students to be experts in their chosen fields and leaders of the next great generation of physicians and scientists.
I welcome you to learn more about Icahn School of Medicine. Explore our website, meet our faculty and talk to our students. The expertise, accomplishments, creativity, enthusiasm and commitment you encounter are certain to persuade you that Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is the place you want to be.

"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Deadline fast approaching for NICE's Fellows and Scholars programme
Would you like to get more involved with the inner workings of NICE and help shape our guidance?
Health and social care professionals have just one week left to submit applications for the NICE Fellowship and Scholarship programmes. The final date for entries is 5pm on Friday 9 November.
NICE Fellowships and Scholarships provide unique opportunities to learn about and get involved with the work of NICE.
The positions give you the chance to network with likeminded advocates of evidence-based practice, and promote NICE guidance and other products to peers and colleagues.
NICE Fellowships are three-year roles awarded to senior decision-makers across the NHS and social care, such as trust directors, clinical service directors, social care leaders and senior academics.
Examples of activities Fellows participate in include developing support tools for specific pieces of guidance, and contributing to high-level discussions about quality and leadership.
Hear Dr Nigel Beasley talking about his experience of being a NICE Fellow.
NICE Scholarships are more project-oriented, and are one-year roles open to qualified health and social care professionals such as registrars, managers and senior allied health professionals.
NICE runs workshops to support Scholars with their projects, and provides Scholars with access to a senior mentor as well as expert teams at NICE.
Dr Riaz Agha, Junior Specialist Registrar in Plastic Surgery at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, and a former Scholar at NICE, said: "Being a NICE Scholar has given me a more panoramic understanding of healthcare and enhanced my development as a more reflective surgeon.
"Through the course of the scholarship I learned about evidence-based medicine and health economics but also learned about NICE, its role, its work in developing guidance, best practice, technology appraisals and of course its people.
He added: "I enjoyed meeting like-minded people from a range of fields and formed many lasting connections."
Professor Gillian Leng, Deputy Chief Executive of NICE said: "Becoming a NICE Fellow or Scholar can offer invaluable opportunities for exceptional individuals to better understand how NICE works and the services we provide.
"As the health and social care sectors develop new ways of working, a connection with NICE and the advice of an established network of experts across evidence-based practice could be an exciting prospect for both individuals and their employers."
She added: "These positions will also contribute to an individual's professional development. This can be through one-to-one support from a dedicated mentor on a Scholarship project, or by being able to impart professional expertise to shape our guidance initiatives or participating in high-level discussions through our Fellowships.
"We welcome applications across all NHS and social care professions."
A total of ten Fellowships and ten Scholarships will be awarded by NICE on 1 April 2013.
2 November 2012

My broker asked me to come in for a meeting today. I was hoping it wasn't something bad as she rarely asked me to come in for unidentified meetings. Well it was anything but bad. I was asked to a member of the governing board of our office. It is by invitation only and there are only 12. It is the elite of the company and there are a lot of perks and privileges that come with it. The best being that I can to spend a lot of time with the best of what I do. It is rare for such a new agent to be invited and I am honored, flattered and humbled all at once. I can't stop smiling. I have wanted to be on this board since I started with the company but I didn't even dream it would happen so quickly. I feel excited for my future. This is huge for my career. I really needed something positive like this to happen in my life.
Apparently there are a lot of required events, dinners with the bosses, and travel that accompanies the position as well as a lot of member only retreats and courses that the company provides only to this board. We make all the decisions for how the company is run and represent our peers. I am on cloud 9. It shows that in everything is truly use your heart your will be rewarded for your hard work.
I needed a change and as a natural blonde my options were platinum or go darker. Thank goodness for my amazing hairdresser who gave me the perfect color ! It feels like this me was always hiding in there. New hair, new life, new start. Rather symbolic. Go out and do something for yourself that makes you feel good. Do it only for you because you are what matters.
This is the last 2 years of my life with SP after the lose of 94 lbs and regain of close 60. The great baby convo coincided with my first week back to tracking. I have decided to let go and move on from the pain of the regain. Enough punishing myself. Enough hiding from it. Enough coming on SP and making false promises and then disappearing in shame. Start stop start stop. I am determined to just track honestly and stop punishing myself. I am not perfect but I am honest. So that is what I will be. Honest with myself completely.
What I learned in the last week. I was WAY underestimating my caloric intake and my mindless eating. Which shockingly was how I got over 300 lbs the last time. I had returned to drinking a lot of calories and sugar. Still not back to soda but chocolatey coffee drinks are a weakness. To the tune of a few a day.
Each day has been a struggle. To make better choices or to eat enough. I tend to go to the opposite extreme and restrict when I am tracking. It feels good to be taking responsibility again. Time to make this my last start and never stop.
That sentence came out during a rather intense discuss about something entirely different. My fianc� is not a big communicator. He tends to think of things on his own for a long time and then just blurts them out mid conversation just like this. I stopped talking. It takes quite a bit to make me stop talking. We have discussed children. It wasn't a surprise that someday we would have some. However I didn't realize his sometime was now. Apparently he feels he is has reached his age of wanting a family. He feels we are living day to day but not moving forward much in terms of our family. My business has been my focus. His work has been his focus. We have been taking steps towards buying a house a year or so down the road (unless prices skyrocket again which they are in Boston and we get priced out which is entirely possible).
Honestly, a baby was not high on my priority list. Secretly I know I am not physically in shape to have a healthy pregnancy so I think subconsciously I am putting it off. He told me as nicely as possible that my weight is holding us both back from many things. Activities we enjoy because I am either too out of shape or too self conscious and from me having a healthy pregnancy. That is scared him for me to get pregnant in my current condition.
He is right about all of it. This is not a general commentary on pregnancy and obesity. It is our situation and my person health. I do not wish to give birth or carry a child at 300 lbs. I want them to have a childhood of hiking, bike rides, horse back riding, etc and parents who are doing it right along with them. Not a lifetime glued to the brain dimming box or laptop. I feel lucky to have a partner that supports me and will have the difficult conversations with me in a supportive manner.
I have thought a lot since this conversation Saturday morning and I am there too. Ready to take my life back. Enough of the start stop, start stop and false promises on SP. I have to let the last 3 years go of punishing myself for regaining and just begin again. I miss the thinner more active me so very much. Today is a week of tracking and making my breakfast. Today was my first real day of eating healthy. Honestly, I am dying. Detoxing like crazy from the sugar and junk. Hungry as heck because of the calorie cut but I know this lasts on 3 days. 3 days until I am on a roll and I don't miss the junk. We can do anything for 3 days, right?
My motivation
After feeling sad yesterday I thought a lot about the positive people in my life. I am lucky to have several amazing people who are true friends and are very excited to help me with anything in my life and are thrilled to help me with the wedding. I feel blessed to have such special people in my life. I have a business I love and my relationship is at the best point it has been since we met. I am very lucky. I am also on my way being healthy again. Packing my lunch daily for work. Making better choices. Feeling better about myself everyday. This is very exciting. Life is what we choose for it to be. So choose to be healthy and happy. Way more interesting than letting the miserable people pull us down with them. Have a lovely day my sparktastic friends.

Diane Lane and Finn Wittrock Cast in Goodman Theatre's SWEET BIRD OF YOUTH; MEASURE FOR MEASURE Added to 2012-13 Season
Artistic Director Robert Falls announced today that he will direct a major revival and new adaptation of Measure for Measure, Shakespeare's darkly comic collision of vice and virtue, in Goodman Theatre's 2012/2013 season, March 9 – April 14, 2013.
Also, director David Cromer announced partial casting for his production of Sweet Bird of Youth: Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Award-nominee Diane Lane appears as Princess Kosmonopolis and Finn Wittrock, who recently appeared in Broadway's Death of a Salesman with Philip Seymour Hoffman, is cast as the young-actor-turned-gigolo Chance Wayne. Complete casting to be announced soon. The production opens the Goodman's new season, September 15 – October 21.
A September 24 Season Opening Benefit will take place at The Standard Club. Tickets are available only on subscription; call 312.443.3800 or visit www.GoodmanTheatre.org. Individual tickets to Sweet Bird of Youth go on sale August 10. Call 312.443.3811, ext. 586 for more information about the Season Opening Benefit.
On the heels of his triumphant The Iceman Cometh by Eugene O'Neill, Robert Falls returns to Shakespeare with Measure for Measure for the first time since his 2006 King Lear, which starred Stacy Keach.
"Shakespeare's Measure for Measure has long been a favorite play of mine. It's a strikingly contemporary wild mix of comedy, drama and moral argument that is both daunting and thrilling to me. I relish the opportunity to explore it," said Robert Falls. Lust and the law clash wills in Measure for Measure. When the Duke of Vienna sets off on a diplomatic mission abroad he hands over power to the austere Lord Angelo, who enforces the city's long-dormant moral code with draconian zeal. But when a pious young nun comes to Angelo to plead for the life of her doomed brother, she sets in motion a series of events that test the limits of human will, and reveal a tangled web of desire and deception. Casting and creative team information to be announced.
Chicago native David Cromer makes his Goodman Theatre directing debut with Sweet Bird of Youth, a sensual, haunting theatrical journey laced with humor and Tennessee Williams' "characteristically gorgeous lyricism" (The New York Times). Into a tiny gulf coast hamlet drifts an improbable couple: the Princess Kosmonopolis (Diane Lane), a Hollywood legend fleeing the disastrous premiere of her latest epic, and Chance Wayne (Finn Wittrock), a young actor-turned-gigolo who has brought his new benefactress to his hometown in hopes of reclaiming his former glory. But when a youthful mistake surfaces that threatens their plans, they must confront crumbling dreams. Full casting and creative team information to be announced.
Diane Lane (Princess Kosmonopolis) is an Oscar, Emmy, Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominated actress. Lane began her career at age six at Ellen Stewart's La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club in Andrei Serban's Medea. Over the next six years she subsequently appeared in Serban's productions of Electra, The Trojan Women, The Good Woman of Szechuan and As You Like It, in productions both in New York and touring theater festivals around the world. Additional theater credits include Lincoln Center Theater's 1976/1977 production of The Cherry Orchard, Joseph Papp's Agamemnon at the New York Shakespeare Festival and Elizabeth Swados' Runaways at The Public Theater. Lane later reunited with Andrei Serban for Robert Brustein at American Repertory Theater in Twelfth Night, as Olivia opposite Cherry Jones' Viola/Cesario. Lane made her film debut opposite Sir Laurence Olivier in George Roy Hill's A Little Romance in 1978; her diverse filmography includes four films directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In 2002, Lane won the Best Actress award from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics and received an Academy Award nomination for her role as an adulterous wife in Adrian Lyne's Unfaithful. On television, she has appeared in a range of roles including Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire, opposite Alec Baldwin and Jessica Lange, and in an Emmy-nominated turn as Lorena in the CBS mini-series Lonesome Dove, opposite Robert Duvall and Angelica Huston.
