Three important "regulations" on these minor exorcisms are given:
91. The presiding celebrant for the minor exorcisms is a priest, a deacon, or a qualified catechist appointed by the bishop for this ministry. (see RCIA 16)
92. The minor exorcisms take place within a celebration of the word of God held in a church, a chapel, or in a center for the catechumenate. A minor exorcism may also be held at the beginning or end of a meeting for catechesis. When there is some special need, one of these prayers of exorcism may be said privately for individual catechumens.
93. The formularies for the minor exorcisms may be used on several occasions, as different situations may suggest.
The ministry of the minor exorcism is intertwined with the Church's apostolate of reconciliation, so it's not surprising the priest is the first choice as a presiding minister. That deacons and laypeople appointed by the bishop are permitted to exercise this presidency, is probably a concession for mission countries.
The yoking with the Liturgy of the Word also speaks of the gravity of this rite. Though called "minor," they are properly celebrated in churches or chapels. The third choice of a "catechumenate center" is also a likely concession to mission situations. If the minor exorcism is being celebrated in a parish, I would think that if the church is available, it would be used.
Roman pragmatism is in evidence, anticipating some personal need by an individual catechumen: in this case, the prayer may be utilized. I read this exception as including Scripture or not, as determined by the priest, deacon, or catechist.
RCIA 94 gives eleven options–and in these options the rubrics don't include the condition, "in these or other words." The prayers are well-worded, have the occasional allusion to Scripture, and have different nuances in the petitions to God to save from evil, enlighten hearts, show mercy, etc..

New York, December 4, 2008--The investigation of critical private broadcaster Globovisión for alleged violations of Venezuelan regulations is another attempt by the government of President Hugo Chávez Frías to control the flow of information and restrict news coverage, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.
At midnight on November 27, two officials from the Venezuelan National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) informed Globovisión's administrators that the government regulator had begun administrative proceedings against the network for allegedly violating the Law of Social Responsibility, according to local and international news reports.
CONATEL said it was investigating whether Globovisión had broadcast messages that incited public disorder. The station aired a speech by the opposition candidate for governor of the state of Carabobo, Henrique Salas Feo, before his victory was officially announced following the November 23 regional elections. Salas said that he knew he had won. In a press conference a day after the elections, Chávez ordered CONATEL to "severely discipline" a local broadcaster for airing election results prior to official confirmation, according to news reports. The Venezuelan president didn't name Globovisión directly.
Globovisión is facing a second administrative proceeding stemming from remarks broadcast on October 13 by anti-Chávez journalist Rafael Poleo, director of the daily El Nuevo País, on the daily talk show "Aló Ciudadano" (Hello Citizen), according to local news reports. In the broadcast, Poleo said that President Chávez "could end up like Mussolini." CONATEL said that Poleo's commentary could have violated the Law on Social Responsibility by airing messages that could promote or incite crime or public disorder and could affect national security, Globovisión lawyer Ana Cristina Núñez told CPJ.
"These absurd measures are a clear sign that the Venezuelan government is intensifying its attacks against the private media in an attempt to stifle dissent," said Carlos Lauría, CPJ Americas senior program coordinator. "We urge local authorities to dismiss any sanctions against Globovisión and show greater tolerance toward criticism."
CONATEL began reviewing the Poleo case on November 28 and has 30 business days to make public its decision. The second proceeding is set to be reviewed starting January 13, sources told CPJ. CONATEL can temporarily suspended Globovisión for up to 72 hours or revoke the network's license in either case as sanction, Núñez said.

AYER - If you grew up in Massachusetts in the 60s and 70s, then you know Rex Trailer. If you were lucky, you got to be in his WBZ TV Boston audience on any given Saturday or Sunday morning for broadcasts of "Boomtown".
It was a family show that ran for three hours each day. Boomtown had an epic run, broadcast from 1956 to 1974.
There were various sidekicks, but the star was Trailer, a Texan-turned-Massachusetts icon.
This Saturday Rex Trailer will be at Ayer Town Hall from 1 - 4 p.m. for a celebration of his 84th birthday. The event is free and open to all.
There will be music, videos, stories, games and prizes. There will be Pepsi and cupcakes for the first 200 guests, and birthday card keepsakes for Trailer to autograph for visitors.
Trailer has had a long and illustrious career in the limelight. "It went from Texas to New York for the rodeo, to Pennsylvania and then Boston," said Trailer, born Rexford Traylor.
Trailer worked summers on his grandfather's ranch as a teenager. "My grandfather hired rodeo cowboys and they taught me all my stunts, trick riding, trick roping, guitar and how to use bull whips, rifles and pistols. My grandfather had confidence in all these guys."
Trailer hit the road with the cowboys and joined the rodeo circuit at age 15. "I traveled the country a little bit. The audiences got a kick out of a teenage being out there and trick riding and roping and bull whips and singing.
The late Gabby Hayes, best known as sidekick to John Wayne and Randolph Scott in a slew of Westerns, caught Trailer's act at Madison Square Garden. Hayes recruited Trailer to entertain children at Hayes' Catskills ranch. "I couldn't refuse," said Trailer.
Prophetically, Trailer remembers Hayes saying, "You ought to be on TV. You're right down the road from New York. Visit the TV stations down there and see if you can get a job."
Trailer said he soon discovered, "It was not as easy as he made it sound.
"I was going around to the back of the building and I saw some guys in this big area in the back painting scenery and I stood there and watched them for a while. One guy came out and said 'Hey looking for a job?' I said 'As a matter of a fact, I am."
At age 17, Trailer began work for DuMont as a scenery painter, and then advanced to become a production coordinator. "I had not the foggiest idea of what a production coordinator's job was but I said ''Yup' and I was very successful at that."
Later an assistant director, Trailer remembers the fateful day when a program manager entered the control room and said the station was thinking about creating a Saturday morning kids show. They wanted to cast a cowboy to do all the stunts.
"I said 'I think I know someone," said Trailer.
Fifty children brought in to vote on the eventual hire. "When I showed up, no one could figure out why I was there because I'd been around the studio doing everything."
Trailer recalled watching the other actors audition. "By the time I went on, I knew I had the job because I was the only cowboy there that didn't have a Brooklyn accent." The kids voted for Trailer. Production on the Oky Doky Ranch show launched the next week.
"I was on the DuMont Network doing my bag of tricks and entertaining the kids and it worked," said Trailer. The show was cancelled, but Trailer received a call from the general manager of WPTZ TV in Philadelphia about the station's hunt for a children's show host.
He got the gig and stayed in Philadelphia for five years. "I was an immediate success and they had me working 7 says a week," said Trailer. "But that's OK. I was loving it."
Weekday morning programming began with "Riding the Trail with Rex Trailer," kids returned from school to each lunch and watch "High Noon." Each Saturdays there was also "Rex Trailer's Ranch House."
The station was sold to NBC. Under contract with Westinghouse Broadcasting, Trailer was given a choice of Westinghouse stations - Cleveland or Boston. "I'd been to Boston and I'd loved Boston," said Trailer.
Trailer recalls his tenure at WBZ TV fondly.
"I came here in 1956 and everybody was saying 'A Western show in Boston?' But it was an immediate success. It was 20 years and nothing but wonderful times," said Trailer who still lives in state.
"My show was predicated on fun- good family entertainment," said Trailer. "The parents never had to worry about what they were going to see on my show. And that's what made the show popular. It was family entertainment."
Richard Kilbride of Woburn played sidekick "Pablo from 1956 until his death due to cancer in 1967. "I'll tell you how good an actor he was. We had a Mexican family come into the studio one Saturday morning. They were speaking Spanish. Pablo was not really able to converse in Spanish. He said "si" and "adios". I thought 'Oh my - how's he going to get out of this?"
Pablo didn't miss a step, said Trailer. "Oh my brothers and sisters, we are in the United States now. We speak English.' So they were satisfied." Trailer laughed "I knew more Spanish than him."
Later, "Cactus Pete" (Terrance Currier) was hired for a five year run before he returned to his passion as a stage actor. For this reporter, "Sergeant Billy" was Trailer's partner.
In his teens, Billy O'Brien helped care for Trailer's golden palomino horse, Gold Rush. O'Brien served in the Army and returned with a hankering to be a character on the show.
"He came in wearing his cavalry uniform and he was a sergeant in the cavalry and so he became Sergeant Billy," said Trailer. "He did a lot of comedy - he was an F-Troop reject."
Trailer and O'Brien remain close and still make personal appearances together. O'Brien is a financial adviser with clientele on Cape Cod and in Florida.
While baby-boomers love Boomtown, Trailer said kids of all ages enjoy his live performances.
"They may not know me from television now, but the kids who are there become fans," said Trailer. "They love the shows that I put on and they line up for autographs at the end of it. It's great fun."
And adults line up for autographs and photos. "It sure is wonderful," said Trailer. "No matter where they are or what they do, they turn into kids when they see me and talk to me. "
Trailer has advocated for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and famously led an 18-horse covered wagon caravan that trekked the state to promote awareness about intellectual and developmental disabilities for Arc.
"From Greenfield, we went down Route 2 to Boston. We were on the air at the time," said Trailer. "We had a wonderful time. I have been doing things with Arc ever since." Trailer also recalled performing for soldiers and their families at Fort Devens.
Trailer's television production company is based in Waltham. For the past 36 years, Trailer has taught television arts at Emerson College.
His advice for the up-and-coming television personalities is "It's not a cake walk. You literally have to work at it."
Trailer says he's proud of former students Gene Lavanchy (WFXT FOX 25)and Heather Khan (formerly of WCVB ABC 5). Trailer beamed about student Adam Harding, freshly hired at WHDH NBC 7, whose father is WCVB veteran newsman Ed Harding.
Trailer said students are shocked to hear Boomtown was live and not scripted.
"Their jaws drop down. It was all ad lib and it worked," said Trailer. "Fortunately I had some wonderful actors on the show with me."

That's not always true. It depends on the scheduler and the workload. LSF, for example, keeps its list of pending jobs in RAM as well as on disk. This can make the scheduler use a lot of memory if the number of pending jobs is large (and for embarrassingly parallel workloads that number can be very large indeed). Our scheduler node (with 8GB RAM) ran out of memory once when a particularly over- zealous user submitted 1.5 million jobs in one go... needless to say, the user in question had the cluebat vigorously applied, but to LSF's credit, it kept going.

But still, I agree with you, in general. Actually, these days, we keep the LSF master on a separate node from the login nodes, to protect it from wayward user action.

When completed, the 64-acre Phase 1 development will provide 15,500 full casket gravesites, including 15,100 pre-placed crypts, and 6,500 in-ground cremation sites and 4,100 columbarium niches. The new cemetery will also include an administration and public information center complex and public restrooms, a maintenance facility, a cemetery entrance area, a flag assembly area, and committal shelters for funeral services. Other infrastructure design elements include roadways, landscaping, utilities, and irrigation.
For educational materials and additional information on this cemetery, please visit the Education section, located below.
Our cemetery floral and grounds policies exist only to reflect the honor and respect we hold for our Nation's Veterans, by preserving the dignity and solemnity of their final resting place.
We welcome and encourage fresh-cut flowers throughout the year. Temporary floral containers are located throughout the cemetery for public use. Floral arrangements will be removed when they become withered, faded, or unsightly. During the mowing season, floral arrangements shall be removed weekly to facilitate mowing operations. Floral arrangements shall not stand taller than the headstone.
Artificial flowers will be permitted from November 1 – April 1.
Permanent plantings, statues, vigil lights, breakable objects, and similar items are not permitted at the graves. This includes, but is not limited to hazardous materials, glass, metal, toys, candles, balloons, wind chimes, and pinwheels. Flags are not permitted at the graves.
No permanent floral vases are permitted.
Potted plants will be permitted on graves one week before and one week after Easter Sunday and Memorial Day.
Holiday wreaths and grave blankets are permitted on graves from December 1 through January 10 and will be removed after January 20 of each year. Grave blankets shall be no larger than 2 x 3 feet.
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not permit adornments which might be considered offensive, inconsistent with the dignity of the cemetery, or considered hazardous to cemetery personnel. For example, items incorporating beads or wires which may become entangled in mowers or other equipment and cause injury. Unauthorized items will be removed immediately. Floral arrangements and other decorations may not be secured to the headstone.
VA regulations 38 CFR 1.218 prohibit the carrying of firearms (either openly or concealed), explosives or other dangerous or deadly weapons while on VA property, except for official purposes, such as military funeral honors. Possession of firearms on any property under the charge and control of VA is prohibited. Offenders may be subject to a fine, removal from the premises, or arrest.
In 1681, King Charles II of England granted a sizable piece of his land holdings in America to William Penn to satisfy a debt owed to the Penn family. The next year, Penn established the three original counties in the Pennsylvania Colony, including Bucks County. Immigrants, primarily from the British Isles and Germany, arrived and settled on small farms, producing potash, wheat, salted pork and other products.
During the Revolutionary War, in the summer and fall of 1776, General George Washington's Continental Army suffered a series of losses in New York and New Jersey. By December, the British offensive forced General Washington and his troops to withdraw into Pennsylvania and decamp in Bucks County. The general was in desperate need of a military victory to resuscitate the morale of his army and the American public.
General Washington suspected that the British were complacent after their successes, and sought an offensive maneuver that might catch them off guard. On the night of December 25-26, 1776, Washington led his troops across the Delaware River in the first movement of a surprise attack against Hessian forces in British service. The Continental Army won the subsequent Battle of Trenton and provided the Americans with a much-needed victory.
The Delaware River crossing was more than a strategic triumph. It grew to symbolize both Washington's heroism and the resiliency of the burgeoning republic at one of the darkest hours of the revolution. German artist Emmanuel Leutze depicted this momentous event in his 1849 painting Washington Crossing the Delaware, to inspire supporters of democracy and greater political representation in Germany in the aftermath of the unsuccessful Revolutions of 1848. The idealized and historically inaccurate scene has become an iconic depiction of the crossing; copies hang in the White House and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Today, both sides of the Delaware River are preserved as part of the Washington Crossing National Historic Landmark district, composed of Washington Crossing Historic Park on the Pennsylvania side, and Washington Crossing State Park in New Jersey.
The character of Bucks County continued to be primarily agricultural throughout the 19th century and into the next, with pockets of industrial activity near the Delaware River. Suburbanization accelerated after World War II as the economy expanded, automobile ownership increased, and the extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike stimulated local housing construction. Levittown, an early subdivision developed by the pioneering suburban developer Levitt & Sons, is located in the southern part of Bucks County. In 1951, U.S. Steel opened a mill in Bucks County, which sparked even more growth.
Today, Bucks County is suburban in areas nearest to the Delaware River. The northern region is more pastoral, and is popular with tourists in search of natural scenery, historic covered bridges, and the location of General Washington's crossing.
Washington Crossing National Cemetery is located approximately three miles southwest from the location where General Washington crossed the Delaware River. The cemetery is located on land that William Penn deeded to Euro-American settlers in 1698, and was used as farmland for centuries. In 2008, the Department of Veterans Affairs purchased the property from Dolington Land, L.P., a subsidiary of the homebuilding company Toll Brothers. The cemetery was formally dedicated in 2009 and opened for burials the following year. Washington Crossing National Cemetery is the fourth national cemetery established in Pennsylvania and the 131st in the national cemetery system.
Under Development.
We are developing educational content for this national cemetery, and will post new materials as they become available. Visit the Veterans Legacy Program and NCA History Program for additional information. Thank you for your interest.

Think your rifle shoots at distance? It doesn't unless you know minute of angle like a Palma shooter knows minute of angle.
"What you have to have is a rifle/ammo combination that you could consistently shoot into 1/2 minute of angle or less with iron sights at 1,000 yards if there were no wind. An impossibility you say? Not so. Most of the top 30 or so long-range shooters in the country end up as members of the U.S. International Palma team. In the Palma match, these shooters consistently shoot scores above 440 … . Do you think these shooters can judge the wind to within 1/4 MOA? … [W]hen they shoot scores on the order of 447 or better with a high X-ring count in really strong, tricky wind, they would have to be judging the wind that closely to keep 42 out of 45 shots in the 10-ring … . I may be wrong, but I don't think anybody is that good a judge of the wind, not at 1,000 yards. In my opinion, without a half-minute rifle, that kind of score is just a dream."–Randolph Constantine, Modern Highpower Competition, From Beginner to Master, from the chapter "Long-Range Competition"

The 27-year-old Portugal forward, whose full name is Ederzito Antonio Macedo Lopes,??scored 10 goals for Braga helping them to finish fourth in the Primeira Liga last season, including a goal in their domestic cup final defeat to Sporting Lisbon.
He was born in the West African country Guinea-Bissau but moved to Portugal as a child and has been capped 18 times by his country, including all three games at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil before they went out at the group stage.
Eder began his senior career in the Portuguese lower leagues with Oliveira Hospital and Tourizense before joining Acad??mica??Coimbra??in 2008, with whom he won the club???s first Portuguese cup for 73 years.??
His performances caught the attention of a number of European clubs, but he opted to join fellow Primeira Liga side Braga in 2012 and he leaves having scored 38 goals in 143 games in the Portuguese top flight.
He scored his first international goal in a 1-0 win over Italy last week and joins Swansea in what is understood to be a ??5m deal.
Manager Garry Monk is expected to play Eder alongside Bafetimbi Gomis as the twin spearheads to the Swans attack, supported by another summer signing, Ghana's attacking midfielder Andre Ayew.
Monk has been seeking a permanent new frontman since prolific Ivory Coast forward Wilfried Bony left the Liberty Stadium to join Manchester City for ??25m in January and after Nelson Oliveira's loan expired in south Wales.
Eder, who will wear squad number 17 for the 2015-16 campaign, becomes the club's fourth signing of the summer following Ayew, Franck Tabanou and Kristoffer Nordfeldt to the Liberty.
Eder said: "I am very happy to have signed with Swansea. It???s a big club and I believe I can progress as a footballer here.
???The Premier League will be a step up for me, but I???ve played in the European competitions and also for my country so I???ve experienced different levels of the game.
???Hopefully my team-mates will help me develop and settle in quickly at the club. I can???t wait to meet all of them when I report for pre-season training.
???Swansea are a solid club who have big ambitions – last season confirmed that – and it???s great for me to be a part of it.?????
Monk added: "Eder is the type of striker we???ve been looking for. He has excellent attributes; strong, quick and technically sound with the ball.
???He has a good pedigree and is a full international with Portugal. He fits our profile in terms of the players we???ve signed in the last two seasons because he???s young, hungry and eager to prove himself in the Premier League.
???He has the characteristics we are looking for and will certainly add competition to the striking department.
???I???m looking forward to seeing him work alongside the likes of Bafe (Gomis) and Marvin (Emnes). And the fact that we???ve got him in early is a bonus.?????

T-Mobile CEO: 'You shouldn't be locked in'
NEW YORK — Back in January at the Consumer Electronics Show, T-Mobile's pull-no-punches CEO John Legere promised sweeping changes — for T-Mobile itself, and by extension the wireless industry. On Tuesday, Legere took a major step toward delivering on those promises. T-Mobile eliminated annual service contracts, simplified its unlimited rate plans, and said it would have all the hottest handsets at low upfront costs — including the HTC One, BlackBerry Z10, Samsung Galaxy Note II, Samsung Galaxy S4 (coming May 1), and, most notably as of April 12, Apple's iPhone 5.
T-Mobile also launched its 4G LTE network in seven major metropolitan areas, including Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Phoenix; San Jose, Calif.; and Washington, D.C., and turned on LTE in New York for its press event.
STORY: T-Mobile finally adds the iPhone
T-Mobile expects its LTE network to reach 100 million people by mid-year and 200 million nationwide by the end of 2013. But even if you don't have LTE yet, Legere insists that you'd still experience fast, if not quite the fastest, data speeds on other 4G variants.
Finally snaring the iPhone is a big deal for T-Mobile, of course. It fills what had been to date the biggest void in T-Mobile's device portfolio. And T-Mobile will be selling the 16GB iPhone 5 for $99.99 plus 24 monthly payments of $20. The 32GB and 64GB iPhone 5s will also be in the lineup, for $199.99 and $299.99, plus payments.
While T-Mobile's version of the iPhone 5 is nearly identical in appearance to its siblings on other networks, it does have a few differences, aside from the fact that you can get it without an annual contract. It takes advantage of technology known as HD Voice, which promises crystal clear call quality with reduced background noise. To exploit HD Voice you must be talking to another handset that also has HD Voice. The quality improvement was evident during a quick call I participated in on an iPhone 5 to iPhone 5 call at T-Mobile's press event.
Over the T-Mobile LTE network, I was also able to take part in an excellent quality Facetime video call with an Apple employee in Cupertino, Calif.
Data speeds on the iPhone 5 were impressive during a few quick but inconclusive speed tests (given that the network hasn't rolled out yet).
Ditching contract obligations is in my view the most refreshing development to come out of the T-Mobile announcements, though the fact is you'll still have to pay what you have to pay for the phone. What happens if two months in you decide you're not loving T-Mobile as much as Legere would want you to, or a year from now you decided to purchase, say, an iPhone 6? You're still on the hook for the hardware you bought.
"Whether it's $99 and 24 times 20, or $650 up front or whatever it is, the clarity of what the cost is of devices—whether we're paying them, or you're paying them or the manufacturer is paying for them—it's important that people understand that," Legere said in an interview. "And it's important that that be differentiated from a rate plan so that people understand what they're buying."
"What people have to realize is there's no cheap way to get this device."
If you do the math…us versus a comparable AT&T plan, you pay $1,000 more to them." So how can T-Mobile sell it for less? "We're not Verizon or AT&T so we have a different cost structure."
Legere didn't reveal specifics on how trade-ins or upgrades might be handled. But he said, "we want you to be able to make the decisions on us as a carrier any time you want. You don't like us, you should go. We don't treat you right in customer care or the network experience isn't right you should be able to go. You shouldn't be locked in. How we deal with the device should be the same as anything you buy on credit."
It is quite possible, Legere says, that phone makers may help come up with solutions that encourage upgrades. "Manufacturers may innovate with us. Suppose you're in that device and the phone provider really wants you to move to the next one. There's nothing to stop them from doing something with us on trade-in value and residual value and migration abilities. It becomes a fascinating dialog."
Anything that can be done to simplify rate plans is certainly welcome. At T-Mobile stores, customers will be asked two basic questions: How many lines do you need, and how much high-speed data would you like? You start with a single line at $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and Web with 500MB of high-speed data. You can add a second phone line for $30 per month, and each additional line for $10 per month. You can also add 2 GB of high-speed data for $10 per month more per line, or unlimited 4G data for $20 more per month per line. There are no caps or overages fees.

When the New York Mets begin their annual winter task of building their bullpen, they'd be wise to consider three names instrumental in beating Miami last night at Citi Field.
Yes, Lucas Duda gets props for a three-run homer, Jon Niese pitched into the seventh, and Andrew Brown took advantage of a rare start by hitting a mammoth home run, but the Mets might not have won without Vic Black, Pedro Feliciano and LaTroy Hawkins.
By definition, winning 4-3 is not a slam-dunk, but a study of perseverance and endurance. Those three carried the Mets to the end.
Hawkins has been solid all year in a set-up role, and despite his reservations, assumed the closer role when Bobby Parnell went down and excelled, picking up his ninth save with a 1-2-3 ninth highlighted by a classic punch-out of Giancarlo Stanton, who had already hit two homers in the game.
In a masterful display, Hawkins got ahead 0-and-2 with two inside fastballs. Stanton wouldn't bite on two down-and-away sliders to even the count 2-and-2. But, fearless as usual, Hawkins blew away Stanton inside with a 94 mph. fastball.
At 40, most teams might consider Hawkins an afterthought in constructing a bullpen, but he still has the fastball plus the guile that can't be measured by a radar gun.
Not only does he get the job done, but he's an invaluable and calming influence to the younger relievers and in the clubhouse.
My favorite Hawkins moment came at mid-season when the Mets – including manager Terry Collins – danced around the Jordany Valdespin saga. However, Hawkins, a proud veteran, called it as he saw it and wouldn't let the immature Valdespin off the hook.
Meanwhile, Feliciano doesn't throw in the 90s, but is still an effective lefty specialist and last night closed the eighth by getting Christian Yelich on a grounder to second.
If used properly – which is to say sparingly and not wear him out – Feliciano is still a plus.
The Mets don't know Parnell's availability next year after undergoing neck surgery. They must assume they won't have him, at least at the start.
They'll need a closer and Black, who throws in the mid-90s, could emerge as the choice. In preparing for next season, Collins should use Black in as many pressure situations as possible.
Of course, the bullpen key for 2014 is Parnell. If healthy, the three could slot in behind him and GM Sandy Alderson's bullpen reclamation would be halfway done.
The key to a strong bullpen is having quality starters capable of working deep into the game as Niese did last night. The fewer innings the bullpen works, the more effective.

I'm happy to announce that my Google Summer of Code proposal, titled "Extend EclipseFP functionality for Haskell", has been accepted! For the uninitiated, GSoC is a project in which Google sponsors a number of students each year to work on open source software. During the upcoming three months or so, I will be working on improving EclipseFP. In this blog, I will track my progress.
The target audience for this blog are Haskell programmers, Eclipse developers and any other software developer who happens to be interested. I will try to keep it readable for all interested parties, but it might sometimes get quite technical; in that case, feel free to ask what the hell I'm talking about, or just ignore me. Incidentally, I also just sent out a request to Planet Haskell and Planet Eclipse for this blog to be syndicated.
Anyway, since I target a fairly general audience, I have some explaining to do. In a next post, I describe what my project aims to do, how I want to accomplish it, and why I think it is important. But first, allow me to introduce myself.

- Premier League
Pellegrini denies City agreement
Manuel Pellegrini has denied reports that he has agreed a deal to become Manchester City manager.
The Malaga coach has been increasingly strongly linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium since City - who lost their Premier League crown to rivals Manchester United - were beaten 1-0 by Wigan in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
City have done nothing to counter speculation that Mancini, who ended their long trophy drought with the 2011 FA Cup before clinching last season's league title, was on his way out.
But Chilean Pellegrini, who guided Malaga to the Champions League quarter-finals against a backdrop of financial uncertainty in their first season in the competition, denied reports in Spain that an offer from City had already been accepted.
Speaking after Malaga's 0-0 draw with Sevilla on Sunday, he said: "Today, I deny I am going to be the new manager of Manchester City.
"I have not signed an agreement with anyone - not with Manchester City, not with Roma, not with Napoli, not with PSG, not with any of the clubs who have been mentioned.
"Every year, I have had the possibility of major teams making an offer to me, and that is an honour.
"There are a lot of rumours. I hope that, in the next fortnight, there is a plan made for what is going to be done next year [at Malaga].
"I imagine there will be meetings in this break. I hope that the future can be planned out in this fortnight."
He said the Malaga coaching team and players were thinking only of qualifying for Europe, adding: "To overcome the trauma of being eliminated in the Champions League [by Borussia Dortmund in injury time] was not easy, but to qualify the team for the Europa League keeps us excited."
An angry Mancini said City should have acted to quell the rising speculation about his future, saying: "I don't know why the club hasn't stopped this, because it is not correct and I don't think it is true."
He said the reports were "rubbish... speculation and rubbish", insisting: "I will still be here next season. But if it is true, we will know in the next two weeks. If it isn't, this [the speculation] is stupid."
Earlier, Pellegrini had indicated that he, along with several of his key players, would be leaving Malaga in the summer as the club's financial turmoil continued.
"We are in unusual circumstances," he said. "I don't think any of us really want to leave Malaga. Everyone would prefer to stay but, unfortunately, the circumstances we are in don't allow that."
He said speculation about his future would not distract him, explaining: "Being linked to other clubs doesn't annoy me or make me feel uncomfortable."

D'Ambrosio eyeing first point
- Race:
- Italian Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Jérôme d'Ambrosio
- Teams:
- Lotus F1
Jerome d'Ambrosio is confident he can move forward from his 15th place grid position at the Italian Grand Prix and is eyeing his first point in Formula One.
D'Ambrosio is substituting for the banned Romain Grosjean at Lotus this weekend in what will be his first race since the Brazilian Grand Prix last year with Virgin. He qualified 16th on Saturday but moved forwards a place on the grid thanks to Pastor Maldonado's penalty and is confident he will be more competitive in the race.
"I think definitely we expect to be better in the race, but again, it's going to be my first race this year and it'll be the first time I do a really long stint with the tyres," he said. "It's the first start since Brazil last year and again there are a lot of things I don't know and that I will face during the race and I will have to deal with them as they come. I think I can hope for something a little bit better in the race."
He said the first objective would be to finish at Monza, but he is also eyeing a finish in the top ten.
"I think in itself the start should be okay, but definitely the first corner is one to watch in Monza," he added. "I think it's important for me clearly to finish the race tomorrow - that's point A for me and for the team - and then I think I would be happy with my weekend if I could go and get a point or more."

Dear Subaru [1]
Before moving to Wyoming about 2 years ago, I purchased my new 2008 Subaru Outback. It is near mandatory for living here in the Tetons! Around here, we don't ask what you drive, but what color is your Subaru. While out exploring a backcountry road last fall, I stopped to give Bruce and Kirah a break. They were snuffling about, when I looked down the road to see a grizzly strolling towards us. Before panicking, I used our well-known command to "load up" and without pause they hopped into the back of the car, safe and sound. We then took the time to enjoy the visit from one of our wild neighbors from the security of "Big Brown" as my Outback is known.

NASCAR Sponsors: In Wake-up Call, Teams Must Forget Politics, Figure Out Why They're Leaving
NASCAR survived a major scare Wednesday thanks to a 216-202 vote in the House of Representatives that will allow the military to continue sponsoring race teams.
To some, it's a time to celebrate and a time to label the politicians who championed the ban on military sponsorships as jerks.
But this is not a time for a lot of congratulations and pats on the back for surviving another round with Congress, or for name-calling by NASCAR fans that staunchly opposed the amendment that might have forced the National Guard and other military sponsors out of the sport.
Instead, it's time for NASCAR and the sport to look in the mirror. It's time for the top executives in the sport to figure out not just why politicians are voting for the military to get out of motorsports but why major corporations also have cut back their spending in NASCAR.
In the House, 95 congressman changed their votes since the original amendment to ban military sponsors was voted on in January 2011—77 switched to yes, 18 to no.
Among the most notable to swing his support toward the amendment was John Mica, who has represented the Daytona Beach area for two decades.
That should send shivers down the spines of NASCAR officials at the sport's headquarters in Daytona Beach. Granted, one reason that more congressman agreed to support the amendment this time is that this measure had a dollar figure attached to reduce the Department of Defense budget by $72 million. That sounds like a lot of money until looking at the actual budget, which is $603 billion.
For most companies, a NASCAR sponsorship might account for more of its operating budget than 0.01 percent. So it's reasonable that NASCAR might get just as much scrutiny from other corporations as it's getting from Congress.
Publicly, NASCAR is trying to sell its story with news releases that indicate that 114 Fortune 500 companies in the United States participate in NASCAR in some way, shape or form.
That's great. They obviously find something in the sport that works for them.
But let's face the facts. Matt Kenseth, a championship contender and the 2012 Daytona 500 winner, isn't fully sponsored at Roush Fenway Racing after Crown Royal left the sport last season. Roush also has yet to find sponsors for 2011 Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne and 2011 Nationwide Series champion Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
Red Bull, which sponsored and owned two race teams, also got out of the sport last year. General Mills cut back. So did UPS, The Home Depot and Aflac.
Richard Childress Racing and Roush Fenway each shut down a race team for 2012 because of a lack of sponsorship.
The only organization to add a team this year was Michael Waltrip Racing, while Stewart-Haas Racing added a part-time team for Danica Patrick. As a result, a typical Sprint Cup race this year includes 12-15 teams that are either unsponsored or woefully underfunded.
The U.S. Army, which sponsors Ryan Newman's Stewart-Haas team, has announced it won't return in 2013, and everyone wants to blame politics. But there are several other team sponsors that still haven't committed for 2013, so it's likely the Army won't be the only one.
Army officials were quite candid about why they are leaving the sport—they said NASCAR produced some results for it but not enough.
The National Guard's sponsorship of Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Hendrick Motorsports is producing up to 40 recruits a year, according to those working to ban the sponsorships.
Yet National Guard officials still believe in the program. What is it getting from its sponsorship that the Army is not? And why?
Why are Nationwide, Farmers Insurance and 5-Hour Energy stepping up their NASCAR efforts? Is there something from their successful programs that can be used to model future marketing programs?
NASCAR and its race teams should be begging companies that have left the sport for information on why they're leaving. What went wrong? What could the sport have done better?
NASCAR officials say they have a five-year plan to address some of these issues, a plan designed to make the sport more attractive to sponsors. Part of that plan is selling the NASCAR story better.
That's what NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France talked about when asked about the five-year plan a few weeks ago. NASCAR is in the second year of the plan and when asked about its success, France talked about improved communication and NASCAR taking over its digital rights in 2013.
He said he is happy with the progress but nothing should be done just for the sake of being in a hurry. France believes the industry as a whole is collaborating more in making the sport better and more attractive to sponsors.
But it's hard for those outside the NASCAR offices to remain patient, especially when sponsorships are scarce and teams are struggling financially and going out of business.
Obviously not every company will stay in NASCAR forever. Marketing programs and budgets change and motorsports might not fit in anymore. But it appears there's more work that needs to be done to make NASCAR a sponsorship program a company can't live without.
As much as race fans want to complain and criticize politicians, the fact is that many politicians are hard-working people who care about how tax dollars are spent and have different philosophies on where that money should go.
The same is true in corporate boardrooms across America as far as how companies spend their money and marketing dollars.
NASCAR dodged a bullet Wednesday, but the slim margin of victory should serve as a wake-up call to the entire sport – and that means tracks, teams and the sanctioning body – that it needs to find ways to produce better results for sponsors and make even the most skeptical people take a second look at NASCAR.

Plan International, United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) and 10 x 10.
Satement by Minister Paavo Arhinmäki
5.3.2013 18.00-20.00
UNICEF House, Danny Kaye Conference Room, New York
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today, around 66 million girls are denied their right to an education. Education and gender equality areintertwined: not only is education a critical path to gender equality and women's empowerment, but gender equality and women's empowerment are critical pathways for girls' education. We can no longer neglect the education, well-being, and intellectual advancement of half the human race.
Neither can we neglect the pressing need for a safe and supportive school environment for the girls that have access to education, which is a human right. Providing a safe learning environment free form violence is vital. We are gathered here tonight to discuss a girl's right to learn without fear with a common objective to end gender-based violence at school. The issue is ever pressing and vital. Last week we heard yet another disturbing piece of news as a 7-year-old girl was sexually assaulted at a school in India. We need to work together to ensure that a girl's right to a safe education is realized all around the world.
The report launched today puts forward a global framework to address gender-based violence related to schools. This event brings together different kinds of partners -- governments, non-governmental organizations, international organizations and private sector partners.
There is no country in this world that is free of gender based violence at school. We have some saddening statistics on this issue in Finland. The first step to creating quality educational experiences is providing access. If education for girls is not equitable then academic learning is compromised and the psychological empowerment that education can confer is greatly reduced. It is imperative that girls stay in schools and remain safe to complete their education. The classroom must be a secure place of learning. I also refer to safety on school surroundings and the way to and from school.
In Finland we have study courses on preventing violence. We have developed learning materials to support education for adolescents on sexual rights and safety skills. The contents is designed to cover the following areas: gender equality, bodily integrity, respect for sexual self-determination, sexual and gender diversity, media criticism, the identification of sexual violence and harassment and intimate partner violence, seeking help in situations of violence and the obligation of others to intervene in violence and provide assistance.
Let me finish by saying that we have clearly come to a turning point in relation to gender based violence. Social media has made us aware of the most revolting violations of girls' rights all around the world. Not a single country is yet free from gender based violence, but each country has an obligation to remedy its current failures. Let us start in schools! Pre-schools and schools need to be places of learning and empowerment, starting today!
And now I invite Sarah Hendriks to lead the panel discussion.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Environmental friendliness has apparently become passé. The Los Angeles Auto Show in previous years has been known as the "green" show, where automakers rushed to launch their latest electric or hydrogen vehicles.
This year ushers in a new trend – a trend that's echoed in the new vehicle sales throughout the U.S.
While there were a few hot cars – like the BMW i8 roadster and the Corvette ZR1 –making their debuts in LA, the bulk of the press conferences were for sport utility vehicles – several of which are all-new and of the small to mid-size variety.
Below is a round-up of the smaller SUVs launched in LA.
2018 Hyundai Kona
The Kona is designed to appeal to a younger crowd with bright colors and a bold utilitarian interior.
Kona will come standard with a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine with a 6-speed automatic. A 1.6-liter turbocharged engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is available.
Key features on the newest Hyundai include standard Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and floating infotainment touch screen. Available tech includes navigation, forward collision avoidance, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, head up display and rain-sensing wipers.
Kona is slated underneath the popular Tucson and will go on sale in the first quarter of 2018. Pricing hasn't been announced but the base price of the Tucson is $20,200, so expect it to start in the $17K range.
2019 Infiniti QX50
This newest SUV from Infiniti is derived from the former EX series. But the QX50 is completely new and chockfull of some pretty cool tech – starting with the engine.
The QX50 will have the world's-first production ready variable compression ratio engine, which will optimize both power and efficiency. It's a 2.0-liter turbo that delivers 268 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque.
Another cool bit of tech on the QX50 is ProPILOT, which is meant to be an advanced version of semi-autonomous driving. It will help steer and brake during stop-and-go traffic but requires constant attention from the driver and hands on the steering wheel.
QX50 is slated to hit dealers in the first quarter of 2018.
2019 Lincoln Nautilus
Thank goodness. It looks like Lincoln is going back to actual names for their vehicles, and the all-new Nautilus replaces the MKX for the 2019 model year.
Lincoln is going with the theme of "personalized elegance" for this new SUV and offers things like 22-way power adjustable Ultra Comfort seats and a 19-speaker Revel audio system.
Nautilus will come equipped with a standard 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine that delivers 245 horsepower. A 2.7-liter turbocharged engine that delivers an estimated 335 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque will be available.
Expect the Nautilus to hit dealers this summer. No pricing has been announced, but the outgoing MKX starts at $39,035.
2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross
You may be familiar with the Mitsubishi Eclipse of yore, but this isn't that. Mitsubishi is systematically getting rid of its cars and bringing out more utility vehicles, and the Eclipse Cross is its newest product under that guise.
Eclipse Cross will be slotted between Outlander Sport and Outlander, and will be equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine that delivers 152 horsepower and 184 pound-feet of torque.
The Eclipse Cross will have available features such as a full-color head-up display, heated front and rear seats, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control and a multi-view camera system.
The Eclipse Cross will hit dealers in March of 2018 with a starting price of $23,295.
2018 Nissan Kicks
When Nissan introduced its petite Rogue Sport last year, we didn't expect to see something even smaller. But here it is. However, don't confuse small with cheap.
The Kicks will have a lot of the same up-level tech available that you see in its bigger brothers. This includes standard autonomous emergency braking, Bluetooth hands-free pairing and (get this!) three USB ports.
Available features include an around-view monitor, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Bose Personal Plus sound system, passive entry, push button start, blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Kicks is the first all-new nameplate introduced by the brand in the last 8 years, and it is slated to hit dealers in the spring of 2018.
2019 Volvo XC40
The XC40 marks Volvo's first foray into the compact SUV market and is the first of several vehicles that will be built on the new modular vehicle architecture, which was co-developed within Geely.
The city-ready XC40 will have all the available safety tech seen on the XC60 and XC90, including Pilot Assist, City Safety, Run-off Road mitigation, cross-traffic alert and a 360-degree camera.
A cool feature that makes its Volvo debut on the XC40 is the digital key, which will allow a Bluetooth enabled phone to replace an actual key fob.
XC40 is slated to have a starting price of $39,500 and should be in dealers by the first quarter of 2018.

Valentine's Day 2012: Best Quotes, Ideas, Poems, Gifts, Cards, Crafts & Messages
Saint Valentine's Day 2012 is an annual celebration recognizing love and affection between intimate companions. Valentine's Day 2012 is on February 14, and there are V-Day celebrations happening around the world that will suit every taste, from an uber-romantic dining-and-dancing harbour cruise to a radical, queer-friendly "People's Prom." But before all that, you need to make a unique plan with great ideas, choose nice quotes, awesome romantic poems, amazing gifts, heart touching cards and even sweet messages to touch the heart of your beloved person. To make your Valentine's Day 2012 special & unforgettable and by keeping all these variables in mind we, RootsBD.com, prepared an exclusive Valentine's Day 2012 roll-out.
Valentine's Day Ideas 2012 : Top 10 ideas to treat your loved one
Valentines Day 2012— the day of love! But sometimes Valentine's Day can end up being the least romantic day of the year with the majority of people buying the same thing for their loved one year in year out. The same old flowers, chocolates or even a dodgy card can put you in the dog house, resulting in the infamous Cupid's arrow being aimed at your head not your heart!
Many people seem to celebrate the day out of obligation rather than celebration, but the best advice is to 'think'. Put in a bit of original thought and it will be obvious that you have made some effort this time round.
So what can you do make your loved one love you in return on Valentine's Day? The team at realbuzz.com have come up with some great ideas to ensure that Cupid's aim is as true as your intentions.
1. Go for a romantic meal
We're not talking about your usual run-of-the-mill lunch or fast food joint. Pick somewhere different, classy, and preferably expensive. An establishment with Italian or French tones will be a safe bet to ensure a successful evening.
2. Cook a meal
If you don't fancy a meal out, then why not cook one yourself? Even if you think you are the worst chef in the world, it is likely that your efforts will be appreciated. Get yourself a decent bottle of wine to compliment the meal — or wash away the nasty aftertaste! Remember — don't try to cook anything too ambitious and the key to it all is timing.
3. Consider making something for one another
The one sure fire way to give your partner something unique is to make it yourself. It could be something as simple as a card, or you could try being a bit more ambitious and use your home PC along with a bit of your creative genius to make something; a collage of photographs of favorite times together perhaps? You could even try writing a poem or compiling a list of things you love about your partner or possibly making a CD of songs you both like.
4. Get pampered together
More and more and more places are making their facilities open to couples who can enjoy being pampered together. Even if you are not into all the treatments, you can still go along, sit back and relax while your partner receives the attention they deserve. If you can't get away, consider doing all the pampering for your partner — buy some sensual oils, candles and turn your home into a spa for the evening.
5. Jewelry
Okay, so it's the obvious choice, but who isn't partial to a bit of jewelry or a nice watch? If you don't really know what to buy then try asking one of your partner's friends what they think they might like. Remember to keep the receipt and don't be offended if they don't like it — it is better to swap it than waste your money.
6. Spend some quality time together
Forget nagging about how each of you spend your spare time — why not get together? Go for a round of golf, take a long walk or go to the theatre together — any of your favorite pastimes. Consider doing something that the other person enjoys — you never know, you may actually enjoy it!
7. Visit a romantic city
If you're feeling really generous then head for a romantic city. Some popular romantic destinations include Las Vegas, New York and San Francisco, or for a mellower romantic break you might want to consider heading to the beaches of Honolulu. Don't use the excuse that you have left it too late — you can still book a romantic break away for a weekend in the future. Just print off the tickets, wrap them up in a red bow and leave them on your lover's pillow — the perfect gift.
8. Celebrate with 12 days of Valentine's Day
Like the Christmas period everything doesn't necessarily have to end after the day in question — romance is not meant to last just one day! You could prolong the fun by using the days following to do a special act or gesture. It doesn't have to be anything big — just something that lets your partner know you are thinking about them.
9. Flower ideas
If you really must say it with flowers, then consider doing something original. You could have rose petals strewn around the house, in the bedroom and bathroom, or simply arrange to have them delivered to the workplace or the restaurant where you may be eating later. Just don't turn up with the same box standard fare and definitely nothing from a gas station!
10. And if you happen to be by yourself …
Maybe you're one of the many who is without a significant other and maybe alone on Valentine's Day — but this does not mean you have to miss out on the fun. If you don't have anybody to spoil, why not take it as an opportunity to spoil yourself? Treat yourself to a bit of pampering, buy yourself something nice, or head out for a fun evening with a friend. Spend the day doing what you want to do and make it a special day just for you.
Valentine's Day Quotes 2012 : Top 10 Quotes to make your love feel so special
1. A hundred hearts would be too few, To carry all my love for you.
2. Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
3. We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
4. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
5. Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
6. Valentine hearts beat more passionately than everyday hearts.
7. Tell me how many beads there are
In a silver chain
Of evening rain,
Unravelled from the tumbling main,
And threading the eye of a yellow star: –
So many times do I love again.
8. Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.
9. Sometimes we make love with our eyes. Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts.
10. You don't marry someone you can live with – you marry the person who you cannot live without.
Valentine's Day Poems 2012 : Top 10 poems to allure your 'someone special'
1. My Choice Of Love (Raymond Oluferanmi Solanke)
If love comes in colors,
I choose blue,
If love comes in flowers,
I'll choose rose,
If love comes in songs,
I'll think of choosing Blues,
But if love should come in human beings,
I'll definitely not think twice before
I'll choice you!
Because…..You are my choice
2. There For Me (Angela Guo)
You're there for me when I'm lost
You're there for me at every cost
You're there for me through snow and rain
You're there for me when I'm in pain
You're there for me to heal my cut
You're there for me no matter what
You're there for me like an angel from above
To watch over me and teach me how to love
3. You're in Love (Kolle)
You wake up and he's on your mind.
Another subject, you can't find.
You used to think it was just a bluff.
But now you realize, you're in love.
You see him and can't help but smile.
Think of him for miles and miles.
Weak in the knees when he comes through.
You know his eyes see right through you.
You don't care what people say.
You want to be with him all day.
Seeing him you can't get enough.
And you can see that you're in love.
4. Love (Patricia Kena)
love can be good love can be bad
we all want something we never had
is there a soul mate out there for me
that special person one day we will see
someone to hold you in their arms
hands touching holding palms
sweet passionate lingering kisses
bodies fingerling heavenly bliss
I know someday I will find
that soul mate who is loving and kind
I know you are out there waiting for me
You're in my thoughts, in my dreams
5. I Will Love You Forever (By Amanda Nicole Martinez)
I love you so deeply,
I love you so much,
I love the sound of your voice
And the way that we touch.
I love your warm smile
And your kind, thoughtful way,
The joy that you bring
To my life every day.
I love you today
As I have from the start,
And I'll love you forever
With all of my heart.
6. Look For Me (Anonymous)
I found a leaf
(an autumn leaf,
beside a puddle yellow leaf)
I've launched a thousand other leaves
but this one was for you
And if this leaf
should not reach shore
I'll launch at least
ten thousand more
So if you pass
then look for me
beside a puddle
or a tree!
7. You Are To Me (Anonymous)
Nothing can describe, the way I feel for you
Your love is warm and precious
Your heart so pure and true
Heavens angels brought me
To knock upon your door
To give you all my love
To keep you wanting more
The special bond we share, will guide us on our way
To a perfect life were dreams come true
What more can I really say
We were brought together, never will we part
Your my special gift
Your my shining star
I'll love you unconditionally
With all my heart and soul
I'll never break your spirit
I'll always keep you whole
8. To Spend Forever (Anonymous)
I give you my heart,mind,body, and soul
I give you my love, for you to make me whole
I give you this promise, the promise to try
I give you each breath and the tears i cry
I give you my past, my future and NOW
I give you my thoughts and my hopes in this Vow
I give you my voice and the music i sing
I give you forever by accepting this ring
I give you my world all the pain and strike
I give you my hand and learn to share life
I give you this kiss and there words i say
"I'll Cherish you always as of this day"
I give you my faith that these words are tru from now until the end i promise 2 you
9. If…Then (Anonymous)
If liking you was a mistake,
I would never be perfect.
If I had to sacrifice everything for you,
Everything would be gone in an instant.
If exercise was my obstacle from you,
I'd run a thousand miles.
If taking my life is what I had to do to have a moment with you,
Give me a knife and I'll be Juliet.
If wishing everyday would get me you,
I'd wish every breathing moment.
If finding a genie meant being with you,
I'd search every lamp.
If finding a pot of gold meant you'll stay with me,
I'd go under every rainbow to find a leprechaun.
If I'd have to sacrifice all my privilege for you,
10. A Walk In The Meadows (Anonymous)
Starting the journey of thousand miles.
Walking through the meadows, trampling all the harrows
Holding each others hands, lost like denizens of pariah clans
As I looked at you , and you looked at me
I see your shinning face with mirth and glee
I drown in your fathomless black eyes
With no desire to reach the corner
Your silky hair flying like cloud flakes
Casting the fears aside…never losing each others sight
Making our lives a guiding star…shimmering and bright
No waverings no flounderings…setting the path right
Still sensing your sweet fragrance
Relishing every single moment of romance
Valentine's Day Gifts 2012 : Top 10 gift ideas to impress your partner
With February 14th fast approaching, card shops and store fronts are rapidly turning red with heart-shaped reminders of the most romantic day of the year.
But deciding on a Valentine's gift to impress a loved one isn't always easy, which is why RootsBD.com, has put together its top ten gift ideas for Valentine's Day 2012.
"Valentine's Day comes with a great deal of expectation and stress. If you haven't been together very long, finding an appropriate gift can be difficult, while if you're married or in a long-term relationship, thinking up new ideas to impress your spouse or partner can sometimes feel like a chore."
"While not all our ideas are suitable for all couples, we've tried to offer gift ideas that vary from inexpensive to expensive, and from friendly to more intimate."
1. Jewellery
Any jewellery is a welcome gift, but to be in the number one spot, it has to be the ultimate item of jewellery for Valentine's Day – the diamond engagement ring. After all, valentine's day will be the perfect opportunity for those who are considering proposing to their girlfriend (or boyfriend, for that matter).
2. A romantic weekend in Paris
Or a romantic weekend anywhere for that matter! A trip to New York, Prague, London or a secluded place in the country would be equally welcome. It's getting away together that really matters. It is worth remembering that the little extra touches such as flowers, Valentine's balloons, chocolates or champagne in the room on arrival, will make all the difference.
3. An experience day for two
An experience day for two can be a great surprise. "Book something that they've always wanted to do, such as drive a Ferrari or jump out of a plane. While the activities might not be romantic; the fact that you've made their dream come true, certainly is," comments Sophie Baxter from Big Fat Balloons.
4. A romantic meal at your favourite restaurant
No Valentine's Day gift list would be complete without a romantic meal at a favourite restaurant. But it's the little touches that can make this gift extra-special. It is beat to book well in advance and request a table in a secluded corner. A bottle of their favourite wine or some champagne will make the evening more exciting.
5. Champagne and chocolates
While not the most original idea, champagne and Belgian chocolates are still a welcome gift. Presentation is key. Having them delivered to to the recipient home or work or making sure they are wrapped beautifully will make your Valentine's gift feel more special.
6. A huge bouquet of flowers
It's easy to add a twist to this traditional Valentine's gift by ordering the recipient's favourite flowers and colours. As every month has a special flower, do some research and include the flower that relates to his or her birthday in the bouquet.
7. A teddy bear
Everyone needs a big cuddle from time to time, no matter their age.Those who can't give a cuddle in person on Valentine's Day, can send a teddy bear to give their loved one a big hug. Sophie Baxter, Director at Big Fat Balloons explains "Teddy bears are a huge hit at this time of the year. Me to You teddy bears – with love you messages are especially popular as customers can find a bear to suit most recipients.".
8. An evening to yourself
Couples with children often find the most romantic thing they can do is spend time alone together. Arranging for a relative or friend to have the kids overnight and enjoying an evening together can make for a special Valentine's Day.
Even for those who don't have children, an evening in can be equally romantic. They could cook a special meal for the two or for a complete break, order a takeaway.
9. A movie night in
Valentine's Day doesn't have to mean going out and spending lots of money; why not stay in and have an intimate date for two. A few red and white glow in the dark illoom balloons will be ideal to create a romantic atmosphere. Instead of going out to the cinema, why not recreate a movie theatre at home with a romantic film and snuggle up together in your very own back row,n.
10. A romantic walk
Weather dependent, a walk can be a great way to spend time together with no distractions other than the beauty of the surroundings (and each other!).
It's worth remembering that on Valentine's Day, it's the thought that counts. So the most important thing this Valentine's Day, is for couples to remember to let each other know how much they love the other!

Check Out Gucci's Fringe Benefits
Fringe is back in a big way this spring and Gucci's got the trend in the bag, so to speak. This season, the Italian fashion house has introduced four new handbag designs, each artfully embellished with buttery leather fringe and tassels. Shop all four looks below.
Gucci Nouveau Fringe Shoulder Bag
Worn casually over the shoulder, this versatile bag transitions seamlessly from a day in the office to a night on the town. Available in several colors including electric blue suede, cherry red suede and purple python.
