mine is INFJ
i'm more like this w/ the red parts
INFJ strengths:
● Excellent ability to listen to other people
● A very serious approach to their responsibilities
● Known for their relentless pursuit of serious relationships
● Devotion to the ideals of love and romance
● Very altruistic and friendly
● Very good at recognizing and adapting to other people's emotional states
● Excellent communication (especially non-verbal) skills
● Go above and beyond their duties
● Can easily move on if a romantic relationship comes to an end, as long as they are convinced that nothing else can be done to save it
There are not many INFJ weaknesses and most of them tend to be based on the high emotional sensitivity of the INFJ personality type. INFJs should do their best to recognize these weaknesses and try to keep them in mind.
INFJ weaknesses:
● May be unable (or unwilling) to understand that a romantic relationship is falling apart
● Very vulnerable to conflicts and criticism – INFJs are likely to avoid such situations at all costs, which may also contribute to the previous point
● Likely to hide their inner feelings from the rest of the world
● Relatively poor money management skills
● May expect too much from other people
INFJ relationships and dating
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
INFJs are warm and caring partners, able to love deeply and unconditionally, and show that love to their partners. They are perfectionists, constantly seeking the ideal relationship – this perfectionism can sometimes irritate their partners and complicate their dating efforts. However, such a tendency is also often appreciated because it shows a sincere and serious commitment and is likely to result in a relationship that would usually be unreachable by other personality types, once the INFJ gets through the dating phase.
INFJs possess the ability to see behind the obvious, to clearly understand the idea behind the process, yielding only to their cousins, INTJs. INFJs are extraordinarily insightful and able to understand other people's thinking, desires and emotions very easily – this is an incredible strength in romantic relationships and helps them a lot during the dating phase.
INFJs can act wisely and spontaneously even in the face of unforeseen events, in contrast to traditional and less flexible S types. INFJs' dating and relationship partners can expect to be pleasantly surprised over and over again.
It is hard to manipulate an INFJ as they evaluate the motives of other people very carefully, especially when dating. It is very rare that INFJ is tricked or talked into something they did not want. Nevertheless, the INFJs are friendly and full of compassion, even though they can be very picky when it comes to choosing their dating partners. A relationship with an INFJ is a connection that simply cannot be described in everyday terms.
From the sexual perspective, INFJs look at the intimacy as an excellent opportunity to express their love and make their partner happy. They enjoy becoming one with their partner, physically and spiritually, even if just for a short while. INFJs' emotions are incredibly powerful and they cherish the idea of expressing them in this way – people with this personality type are likely to be very passionate and enthusiastic partners.
Preferred partners: ENFP and ENTP types, as their EP traits compensate the introvert and judgemental tendencies of INFJs. INTJs are also a very strong match as the intuitive connection between INFJ and INTJ is likely to be instantaneous.
INFJ careers
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
When talking about typical INFJ careers, many things come to mind. This article will cover the traits that make people with this personality type successful in the workplace – hopefully this will give you a better idea as to where your ideal career path could be. We would greatly appreciate any comments or suggestions regarding potential INFJ roles – please drop us a note below and we will definitely look into incorporating your thoughts.
To begin with, best careers for INFJ personalities make use of their intuitive skills. INFJs tend to have a very strong intuition, which allows them to accurately judge events, situations and other people. Furthermore, people with this personality type are idealists, and there is nothing more important than their values and principles. For these reasons, typical INFJ careers often include teaching, counselling, psychology or creative writing.
Next, INFJs are natural leaders, even though they do not seek nor worship positions of authority, unlike certain other personality types. They approach leadership roles from the standpoint of sensitivity and understanding rather than authority and power. Consequently, INFJs tend to do best in careers that involve a certain degree of personal touch and sensitivity – for instance, one of the typical INFJ career paths could lead to a religious institution. INFJs also tend to be excellent HR administrators, psychiatrists or doctors.
INFJs dislike routine tasks, strictly impersonal work or analysing small details. They are also very vulnerable to conflict and criticism. These traits mean that INFJs should avoid careers that typically focus on data rather than people or are prone to pressure and conflict, e.g. finance, audit, programming, data analysis etc. On the other hands, people with this personality type are very insightful and creative – they tend to be excellent architects, musicians, artists, photographers, designers etc. Best INFJ career paths revolve around these traits.
Regardless of the career path, INFJs always need to feel that their contribution is meaningful. They need something more than just money or recognition. People with this personality type feel happiest when they believe that their career is very much in line with their personal values and principles. In order to achieve that, the INFJ would often need to take a leadership role, but they can also perform really well in non-managerial roles during their career, as long as the values of their managers' match their own.
INFJs should also be aware of their tendency to pick career goals that are way too humble. People with this personality type tend to do very well in supporting roles, but they should seek something more – INFJs tend to avoid career paths requiring a great degree of independence, but this is often the only way to further professional goals. Best INFJ careers combine the need for insightfulness with a relatively high degree of independence – this forces the INFJ to improve themselves and consequently increase their contribution to the well-being of humanity. Ultimately, this makes them much happier as well.
Being friends with an INFJ
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
INFJ friends are likely to be very insightful, warm and caring. It will not be easy to get to know them well as INFJ personalities hide their true thoughts deep within their minds – however, if their friends are determined enough to work on the friendship, its strength and depth will be remarkable. This personality type is very enigmatic and difficult to decipher yet able to see through other people's masks very easily. Authenticity and sincerity are extremely important if you want to become friends with an INFJ.
INFJs are not really interested in friendships which mostly revolve around practical, daily matters or physical activities. They are quiet yet very determined idealists, brimming with desire to make the world a better place. Therefore, INFJ personalities are likely to seek friends who are willing to let a bit of idealism into their lives and engage in deep, meaningful discussions about things that go beyond the daily routines.
INFJ friends also tend to be relatively perfectionistic, which can be both a very positive and a very negative trait when it comes to relationships. On one hand, the INFJ will seek to grow and develop together with their close friends, seeking out life-enriching experiences. On the other hand, this tendency to always reach for the ideal may exhaust people with different personality types, as they may not have the same stamina and determination that the INFJ possesses. Consequently, the INFJ may keep moving from one friend to another, hoping that the next one will be more similar to them than the last.
INFJs should remember that they have an extremely rare personality type and not get frustrated if their friends do not share 100% of their principles or goals. INFJ personalities seek friends that they can trust, and who are both willing and able to understand their passions and ideas. Not many people can cope with the depth and richness of the INFJ's imagination, and even fewer can support the INFJ in the way that they need. INFJs tend to be very loyal and supportive friends, and are sought out by many other personality types for their wisdom, but they need to learn how to meet potential new friends halfway.
As INFJs are generally eloquent and persuasive, they tend to be quite popular and influential. The INFJs themselves are often quite bemused by this, as they are very private individuals who do not really need nor enjoy the attention. It is likely that the INFJ will only have a few true friends, but those friends will value the INFJ's companionship very highly.
INFJ personality in the workplace
It is probably safe to say that the majority of us already are, or will be, working 9 to 5 and trying to climb the career ladder. If you are an exception by your own conscious choice and feel great about that, then congratulations – but many people live in a different reality, where interactions with colleagues and managers are an inseparable part of their daily routines.
This is why it is important to discuss the interaction of different personality types in the work environment. I will talk about INFJs in this article – how are they as colleagues? What should you know about an INFJ manager? How can you maintain a good working relationship with an INFJ subordinate?
INFJ colleagues
● Loathe conflict and tension
● Highly idealistic, but also very insightful, able to sense somebody's motives nearly instantly
● Surprisingly social and eloquent, quickly and easily connecting with their co-workers
● Popular, friendly and altruistic (however, INFJs need to make sure that their generosity is not being abused)
● Very serious about their duties and responsibilities, especially if they are strongly aligned with the INFJ's principles
● Seek harmony and cooperation
● Prioritize values and good atmosphere rather than cold facts or ruthless efficiency
● Need to be able to work alone if they choose to
INFJ managers
● Have very high standards and expectations when it comes to competence and professionalism
● Able to accurately judge situations and subordinates
● Very principled and just
● Do not seek nor enjoy authority – INFJ managers tend to see their subordinates as equals
● Sensitive and understanding
● Cannot stand unreliable individuals
● Able to easily insipire and motivate the team
● Excel at coordinating and supervising people – not so good at managing systems
INFJ subordinates
● Value personal touch and sensitivity rather than strict directives
● Dislike routine tasks
● Are extremely vulnerable to criticism, especially if it is not completely justified
● Want their work to be meaningful
● Need to feel that their values are more or less in line with their manager's
● Are very hardworking and trustworthy, but may need occasional encouragement
● Value independence and informal relationships
INFJ parents
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
People with the INFJ personality type tend to be very principled, driven and compassionate. They will do their best to ensure that their children are able to fight for the cause they believe in and separate the good from the bad. This does not mean that INFJ parents are likely to encourage their children to become fanatical about something – on the contrary, the INFJ will push them to think independently and take responsibility for their own decisions.
An INFJ parent will not even blink an eye if they are asked to do something for their children, no matter how difficult that might be – and they will bear that burden with a smile on their face. This devotion and idealism that all INFJ personalities share makes them very warm and dedicated parents.
On the other hand, INFJ parents can also be quite demanding and even manipulative. People with this personality type react very badly to their principles being violated – an INFJ will feel very hurt if their child goes against something that they believe in, regardless of the child's age. Consequently, INFJ personalities may find it quite difficult to cope with the adolescent years, when their child may rebel against their authority for no logical (from the INFJ's perspective) reason.
However, this is unlikely to happen – even though INFJ parents really want their children to be the best they can be (this is why they can be demanding), they also know that it is crucial to give them independence to form their own opinions and principles. An INFJ's child is likely to recognize and appreciate this, which should lead to a less turbulent adolescence.

Im ENFJ
Representing approximately 5 percent of all people, people with the ENFJ personality type are great leaders, distinguished by the unshakable faith that others want to follow them. Usually this is exactly what happens as the main trait of the ENFJ personality type is their extraordinary charisma. ENFJs also greatly appreciate the cooperation and assistance of other people and are eager to offer their own cooperation wherever possible.
I got INTJ
The INTJ personality type is one of the rarest and most interesting types – comprising only about 2% of the U.S. population (INTJ females are especially rare – just 0.8%), INTJs are often seen as highly intelligent and perplexingly mysterious. INTJ personalities radiate the aura of intuition and self-confidence. This self-confidence, sometimes confused with simple arrogance by less insightful personalities, has a very specific nature – it stems from a huge archive of knowledge spanning many different topics and areas. INTJs usually begin to develop that knowledge in early childhood (the "bookworm" nickname is quite common among INTJs) and keep on doing that later on in life.
Why be a slave in this world, when you could be a God in another?
Your personality type: INFJ.
Strength of individual traits: I - 56%, N - 70%, F - 20%, J - 2%.
INFJs are conscientious and value-driven. They seek meaning in relationships, ideas, and events, with an eye toward better understanding themselves and others. Using their intuitive skills, they develop a clear and confident vision, which they then set out to execute, aiming to better the lives of others. Like their INTJ counterparts, INFJs regard problems as opportunities to design and implement creative solutions.[11]
INFJs have been mistaken for extroverts since they tend to possess multiple personalities due to their complex inner life, however they are true introverts. INFJs are private inviduals who prefer to exercise their influence behind the scenes. Although very independent, INFJs are intensely interested in the well-being of others. INFJs prefer one-on-one relationships to large groups. Sensitive and complex, they are adept at understanding complicated issues and driven to resolve differences in a cooperative and creative manner.[2]
INFJs have a rich, vivid inner life, which they may be reluctant to share with those around them. Nevertheless, they are congenial in their interactions, and perceptive of the emotions of others. Generally well-liked by their peers, they may often be considered close friends and confidants by most other types. However, they are guarded in expressing their own feelings, especially to new people, and so tend to establish close relationships slowly. INFJs tend to be easily hurt, though they may not reveal this except to their closest companions. INFJs may "silently withdraw as a way of setting limits", rather than expressing their wounded feelings—a behavior that may leave others confused and upset.[12]
INFJs tend to be sensitive, quiet leaders with a great depth of personality. They are intricately and deeply woven, mysterious, and highly complex, often puzzling even to themselves. They have an orderly view toward the world, but are internally arranged in a complex way that only they can understand. Abstract in communicating, they live in a world of hidden meanings and possibilities. With a natural affinity for art, INFJs tend to be creative and easily inspired.[13] Yet they may also do well in the sciences, aided by their intuition.[14
The only thing I find to be wrong is this;
Sharing many personality traits with other T types, INTPs do not really understand or value decisions based on feelings or subjective opinions. In their opinion, the only good solution is the logical solution – INTPs do not see a point in using emotional arguments. Such an approach preserves the "sanctity" of their intellectual method; however, this also makes it difficult for INTP personalities to understand other people's feelings or satisfy their emotional needs.
I like this part because it's true:
If an INTP falls in love, it is extremely powerful – it is all or nothing. It is very likely that this phase will see the INTP become very ardent, even playful and careless – they will not attempt to control or analyse the relationship, but instead try to enjoy and experience the new feelings to the fullest. The INTP will be prepared to do many things and bend many rules to be with their loved one, no matter how difficult that might be.

INTPs are quiet, thoughtful, analytical individuals who tend to spend long periods of time on their own, working through problems and forming solutions. They are curious about systems and how things work. Consequently, they are frequently found in careers such as science, philosophy, law, psychology, and architecture. INTPs tend to be less at ease in social situations or in the "caring professions", although they enjoy the company of those who share their interests. They prize autonomy in themselves and others. They generally balk at attempts by others to convince them to change. They also tend to be impatient with the bureaucracy, rigid hierarchies, and the politics prevalent in many professions. INTPs have little regard for titles and badges, which they often consider to be unnecessary or unjustified. INTPs usually come to distrust authority as hindering the uptake of novel ideas and the search for knowledge. INTPs accept ideas based on merit, rather than tradition or authority. They have little patience for social customs that seem illogical or that obstruct the pursuit of ideas and knowledge. This may place them at odds with people who have an SJ preference, since SJs tend to defer to authority, tradition, and what the rest of the group is doing.[2] INTPs prefer to work informally with others as equals.[11]
INTPs organize their understanding of any topic by articulating principles, and they are especially drawn to theoretical constructs. Having articulated these principles for themselves, they can demonstrate remarkable skill in explaining complex ideas to others in very simple terms, especially in writing. On the other hand, their ability to grasp complexity may also lead them to provide overly detailed explanations of simple ideas, and listeners may judge that the INTP makes things more difficult than they need to be. To the INTPs' mind, they are presenting all the relevant information or trying to crystallize the concept as clearly as possible.[11]
Given their independent nature, INTPs may prefer working alone to leading or following in a group. During interactions with others, if INTPs are focused on gathering information, they may seem oblivious, aloof, or even rebellious—when in fact they are concentrating on listening and understanding. However, INTPs' intuition often gives them a quick wit, especially with language. They may defuse tension through comical observations and references. They can be charming, even in their quiet reserve, and are sometimes surprised by the high esteem in which their friends and colleagues hold them.[11]
INTPs are driven to understand a discussion from all relevant angles. Their impatience with seemingly indefensible ideas can make them particularly devastating at debate.[2]

INTJ personality has mastered their chosen area of knowledge (INTJs can find their strengths in several fields), they can quickly and honestly say whether they know the answer to a specific question.
INTJs know what they know and more importantly – they are confident in that knowledge. Unsurprisingly, this personality type can be labelled as the most independent of all types.
INTJs are very decisive, original and insightful – these traits push other people to accept the INTJ's ideas simply because of that sheer willpower and self-confidence. However, INTJ personalities do not seek nor enjoy the spotlight and may often decide to keep their opinions to themselves if the topic of discussion does not interest them that much.

New Car Review
2013 Nissan Titan: New Car Review
The 2013 Nissan Titan is a full-size truck with only a big-displacement V8 option under the hood, offered with either the King or Crew Cab version. Built in Canton, Miss., the Titan shares a production facility with Nissan's Armada SUV and its NV commercial van. It has not achieved the volume sales Nissan might have liked, but it has provided Nissan's truck community with a competitive entry in the full-size pickup market. A replacement, expected for 2014, is reportedly coming soon. In the interim, full-size truck prospects can still find a lot to like on the Titan menu.
What's New for 2013
The Titan receives only minor updates for the new model year. The biggest is a new tailgate with an available rearview camera and trim changes to the off-road-oriented PRO-4X model.
What We Like
Highly capable platform; healthy V8 performance; credible off-road capability; built-in-the-USA bragging rights
What We Don't
Limited number of variants: no regular cab, no base-level V6 to keep down cost and boost gas mileage; no heavy-duty option
How Much?
Fuel Economy
Nissan's torque-laden 5.6-liter V8 is a great powerplant that delivers a muscular 317 horsepower and 385 lb-ft through a standard 5-speed automatic transmission. The kicker is that the 5.6-liter V8 is the only powertrain offered. To enjoy the benefit of V6 efficiency, you'll have to shop someone else's showroom. Indeed, the Environmental Protection Agency provides a rating of 13 miles per gallon city/18 mpg hwy for the Titan 4x2 and 12 mpg city/17 mpg hwy for the Titan 4x4.
Options & Standard Features
Nissan offers Titan shoppers four well-equipped models: S, SV, PRO-4X and SL. Those four variants run the gamut from entry-level value to leather-appointed near-luxury. All provide comfortable seating, myriad storage options and -- in both the back-seat area and the bed -- an abundance of load flexibility.
The Titan S ($30,000) includes only the most basic equipment. In Crew Cab models that means power windows and door locks, though the base-level Titan S King Cab doesn't even include those. All Titan S models include air conditioning, a 6-speaker CD player, and 4-wheel anti-lock brakes.
Shoppers who step up to the Titan SV ($32,500) get a few more luxuries. They include cruise control, remote keyless entry, a stereo auxiliary jack and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The off-road-oriented PRO-4X ($38,000) is offered only with 4-wheel drive. It builds on the SV model, adding rough-road goodies such as skid plates, bulky suspension and a locking rear differential. PRO-4X models also add a few luxury features such as Bluetooth, SiriusXM satellite radio and steering wheel audio controls. A rear obstacle-detection system and a power driver's seat are also standard.
The Crew Cab-only Titan SL ($41,500) sits at the top of the pickup's range. It adds several high-end luxury items to the SV's list of standard features. Among them are dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery with heated front seats, dual-power front seats, power-adjustable pedals, a Rockford Fosgate audio system and a navigation system with NissanConnect infotainment.
The 2013 Nissan Titan includes a long list of standard safety equipment. Even on the base-level Titan S, devoid of power windows and power locks, the pickup includes 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, curtain-side airbags, vehicle-dynamic control, LATCH seating and 3-point seat belts for all seating positions.
Crash test data for the Titan is not available from the federal government's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Full tests of the latest Titan models are also not available through the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS), though the pickup received a Good rating on IIHS's moderate overlap front crash test.
Behind the Wheel
In any configuration, Nissan's Titan is one smooth operator, even if its platform is showing its age. The powertrain is refined, though its 5-speed automatic transmission is short at least a gear in its competitive set. And the sturdy nature of its fully boxed F-Alpha pickup platform is immediately evident; the Titan is the automotive equivalent of Fort Knox. Finally, the Titan's 28-gallon fuel capacity should provide more than 400 miles of highway driving between fill-ups.
Nevertheless, this is still a 5,000-lb platform, before adding passengers, cargo and fuel. If you need a full-size vehicle for towing or hauling, the Titan works well and fulfills that mission statement. But if you're looking for ease of daily use, there are trucks with similar capability that drive "smaller," and for in-town usage, smaller is typically better.
Other Trucks to Consider
Chevrolet Silverado -- The all-new Silverado looks to be light-years ahead of the Titan thanks to updated technology and revamped engines.
Ford F-150 -- Still the best-seller, Ford's F-150 proves that a truck can combine V8 power and V6 gas mileage. Styling, pricing and driving characteristics are also well-regarded.
RAM 1500 -- The recently updated RAM boasts a long list of available engine choices and body styles, as well as a brand-new interior.
Toyota Tundra -- The Titan's only Japanese competition boasts more engine and body style choices than Nissan's full-size truck.
AutoTrader's Advice
As much as we'd enjoy pulling the trigger on a PRO-4X Titan, hopping boulders with 5,000 pounds of truck strapped to our backside doesn't sound as recreational as Nissan might have intended. Instead, we'd probably opt for the SV Sport Appearance package, which provides urban coolness to the Titan's in-your-face architecture. But with so many new trucks on the market, we'd suggest shopping around first to make sure the Titan is the one you really want.

Flask Style Pink Portable Hard Drive by Iomega
You may remember this pink eGo portable hard drive by Iomega from my Must Haves list for February, but because it's so darn cute, and because of all the backing up talk last week, I knew I had to elaborate a bit more on its awesomeness!
To put into perspective how much this beauty of a hard drive can hold, picture this: 640,000 photos, over 2,900 hours of music and 240 hours of video, for a total capacity of 160GB —yes, it's a decent size! The eGo is USB powered so you don't need to drag around an external power supply and it features drop guard for added protection if it were to ever fall off a desk or table.
The eGo hard drive can be used with Macs or PCs and costs only $100. Check out the gallery below to see just how pretty it really is!

Blanchard looking for chance to impress Bears
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears quarterback Matt Blanchard had little chance to impress coaches last season or during an April minicamp, so he did what he could to make the most of his chance to throw at the team's rookie camp that ended Sunday.
That included wearing a camera on his helmet.
To get a better idea how Blanchard understands the offense, the Bears had him wear a unique helmet camera so they could see where he looks at the defense and when during the sequence of running plays.
"We really haven't spent any time evaluating what we would get out of it or what we have gotten out of it," coach Marc Trestman said. "It was fun to do it. I peeked at it, but I really didn't study it. We'll see what unfolds this week and what we think we can do with it or move it around — could we put it on the top of the helmet as opposed to the side of a helmet?
"It's kind of fun. It's not a major part of our focus."
Blanchard was just hoping the play repetitions he had can be helpful when the team starts organized team activities this week, followed by a mandatory minicamp.
"With being the third or fourth quarterback, you don't get many reps," said Blanchard, an undrafted former Division III quarterback who also took part in last year's rookie camp.
"An opportunity to come out here, I was ecstatic that they told me I was going to do this rookie minicamp so I can get the reps.
"It just gets me ready for OTAs moving forward."
Doing his best at the rookie camp was critical because he wanted to show Trestman and quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh there is no need for general manager Phil Emery to pursue a free agent veteran as a third-stringer.
"I am a lot more confident," Blanchard said. "I have had a chance to work with Jay (Cutler) and Josh (McCown) and Coach Cavanaugh and Coach Trestman so I have had a month and a half now to learn the playbook and digest it.
"I didn't get many reps in the first minicamp so now I was glad I was able to put it on the field with all of the stuff I was able to learn."
The Bears had talked about drafting a developmental QB behind Cutler and McCown. They had Josh Campbell as backup last year and McCown was brought back as a third QB after Cutler suffered a concussion.
However, they had only five picks before trading down in Round 4 to get an extra pick for Round 7.
"Going into the draft, if was more of a question: Would we accumulate enough (draft) picks to go in that direction?" GM Phil Emery said of a backup QB. "With five picks and the number of players that we wanted to add at the positions we wanted to add them, I don't know how practical that was."
Yet they did not pursue another undrafted free agent QB, and for rookie camp brought in only former St. Xavier QB Jimmy Coy to help with throws.
The team signed Blanchard out of Wisconsin-Whitewater after last year's rookie camp when Lovie Smith was head coach. Blanchard completed 9 of 16 for 94 yards with an interception and 47.4 passer rating.
They cut Blanchard and put him on the practice squad after training camp. Then they cut him again in December, but he re-signed with the team in January.
"He's articulate in the verbiage of our offense," Trestman said. "He has picked it up very quickly. Again, the reps have really helped him. He's got very good fundamentals.
"He needs to improve like every quarterback does and he has a good base, like I said. The ball easily comes out of his hand as you can see, when he's over the top on his throws it's a very natural throwing motion and he doesn't have to squeeze the ball hard or he doesn't have to what I would say work the ball, it comes off his hand very easily and very naturally and he's got some mobility."

It's February, that romantic time of the year when pitchers and catchers report for spring training and, uh, what's that?
Oh, of course, it's also time for Valentine's Day.
If watching baseball players stretch and field ground balls isn't the best idea for a romantic couple's getaway, there are plenty of other options in the Sunshine State.
Here's a quick roundup of winning destinations. Play your cards right now, guys, and there might be a couple's spring training game in your future.
Anna Maria Island (visitannamaria.com): Perhaps nowhere on the planet are sunsets celebrated with such reverence as Anna Maria Island, where the dimming of the day inspires bell-ringing and spontaneous applause. This seven-mile stretch of barrier island on the Gulf Coast, about 20 miles west of Bradenton, is a slow-moving haven for bicycling, parasailing, ice-cream eating and horizon gazing.
Key West (fla-keys.com): You want romance? The courtyard at Ernest Hemingway's Home and Museum is an eternally popular wedding spot, even though the author's own romantic life wasn't without its bumps. And there's also the potential for memorable sunsets at Mallory Square, where the sunset is celebrated by an array of street performers and musicians.
St. Augustine (floridashistoriccoast.com): The history that extends from Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon's landing on the peninsula's east coast more than 500 years ago makes an impressive backdrop for romance. St. Augustine Beach is a short drive from the dining and shopping in the Colonial Quarter as well as historic attractions such as the Castillo de San Marcos. After dark, one of the many ghost tours also can be surprisingly romantic.
The Beaches of Fort Myers and Sanibel (fortmyers-sanibel.com): Sunsets also are a highlight on these Gulf Coast beaches, where visitors can blend history (The Edison and Ford Winter Estates in Fort Myers) with inviting stretches of white-sand beaches. Although Sanibel and Captiva have been developed a bit in recent decades, there are still unspoiled beaches perfect for building mansions of sand or toting a bucket to fill with Atlantic kitten paws, angel wings and other trinkets. At Bowman's Beach or Blind Pass, it's still possible to look around and feel wondrously, romantically secluded.

Reyes looks ready to roll
When he went down in a heap after one hideous slide into second base more than two months ago in Kansas City, Jose Reyes had all kinds of thoughts flash through his mind. A few hours later, the gruesome sight of his ankle had him in tears. There were probably many baseball fans in Toronto, especially the ones who had spent all winter reminiscing about Joe Carter, feeling the same way.
"The next day when I got up I called my mother and we were crying together," Reyes said Friday afternoon in the Bisons' dugout as he prepared to start his injury rehab assignment in Coca-Cola Field. "Because when I saw my ankle, that thing was huge. It was swelling a lot. But I put a lot of hard work into my rehab and it's paid off."
Reyes was hitting .395 in his first 10 games with the Blue Jays. Then came the crushing ankle sprain that wrecked the high hopes that had Jays fans talking big through the chilly Florida spring.
Those hopes are coming back. Reyes seems healthy and, barring a setback, just about ready to rejoin the Blue Jays. That's huge news. He can be the difference-maker in the American League East.
The Blue Jays entered Friday on an eight-game winning streak and look like the team everyone thought they would be from Opening Day. Without Reyes, the Blue Jays slid to a 10-21 record that left them ahead of only the Astros and Marlins. Entering Friday, they had the best record in the AL East since then at 25-15. (The Yankees, by the way, had the worst at 21-22).
"The talk has been since he went down, amongst us, amongst you guys that if we can get back to .500 by the time he gets back then that's pretty good," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons told reporters Friday during his pregame briefing in Rogers Centre. "We're close to doing that. ... He's one of the premier players in the game. Just all the different things he can do. I know everyone will be glad to get him back."
Reyes spent much of his time during his rehab with the Jays so he had a first-hand look at what was going on. It clearly spurred him to accelerate his rehab and beat the timetable that had him on the shelf past the All-Star break.
"It was tough sitting home seeing my team go through tough moments because I know our ballclub is better than what we showed when we were struggling," Reyes said. "Right now you can see what the guys are capable of doing. I miss that. I want to be part of the guys there. They're having a successful season right now and they can continue to play like that."
And it had to be even tougher for Reyes to hear all the whispers about what happened last season in Miami. The big trade with the Marlins over the winter wasn't supposed to produce a second straight disaster but Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buerhle and Emilio Bonifacio sure heard all that talk.
"This is a different organization, different ballclub," Reyes said. "What happened in Miami is in the past. I know a lot of people say, 'Oh man, this team is going through the same things those guys went through in Miami' but I don't see it that way. I see our ballclub getting together now and all the talent we have getting together."
The Blue Jays are finding their stride offensively behind Adam Lind, who is at nearly .430 since May 23. Their starters are improving and the bullpen has been air-tight. Imagine what a healthy Reyes can bring.
He was his normal ebullient self Friday, meeting the media in a blue Superman T-shirt and red shorts before batting practice. And the ballpark had a buzz rarely seen in recent years, a surge of Toronto-based adrenalin that should carry all weekend.
Fans crowded around the Bisons' dugout hoping to snag some autographs and Reyes obliged many. At one point, he was handed a baby and held the tot for a classic photo op.
A few minutes later as the Bisons took the field, Reyes sprinted – and I mean sprinted – to his position at short. He lashed a double to right in the fifth, cruising freely into second and coming home with no problems on Kevin Pillar's double to left. Looked good.
The Jays open a three-game series Monday night at Tampa Bay and then have a huge four-gamer against the Red Sox in Fenway beginning Thursday. Reyes' return couldn't come at a better time.
"There's still three months of baseball left," Reyes said. "Still a lot of stuff that can happen. If we continue to play like that, we're going to compete. When I get there, I can take my team to another level."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Classygirly from Hot and classy! I was lucky enough to get this dress at bebe outlet 2 years ago, for a third of the price. I absolutely love it. It fits true to size, I wear small on top 28 jeans and size S fit me perfect but pretty snugly, I loved it that way, sucked in all imperfections ;) the only downside, you get pretty hot in it. So after wearing it two times I had to sell it.. Other then that it's truly an amazing dress. It was seen on some celebs ;)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cynthe from Sexy & Classic This is a very sexy and yet classy dress at the same time. It is very form fitting and as suggested may need to purchase one size larger than normal. It is very well made and the leather is good quality. This is pricey but almost worth the spurgle.

Rated 2 out of 5 by hennessy1 from Not a good fitting dress I bought this dress in a small. When is arrived I loved the way it looked. I was very excited. I put it on and it didnt seem to fit well in the front. I went to the store and I was able to get an extra small. The XS fit better but the dress was still bunching in the front by my stomach. It was like it had to much fabric in the front panel. I ended up just returning and not getting the dress. I really liked the look of the dress so I was disappointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SexeeTee from Sexy I actually received this dress as a Christmas gift, but wore it dancing this past weekend. I was waiting to pair it with the studded slingbacks, but the shoes have yet to arrive. (What's the holdup BeBe?) My body is petite curvy. LOL! I'm slim on the top (32 C# and have a heavy hipped bottom. ;-# I normally wear a BeBe size 2 #XS# or 4 #S) depending on the cut. I tried the XS and couldn't get it zipped. Although, I'm sure it would have fit nicely on the top if I had been successful zipping. The Small fitted on the bottom, but was shift fitting on the top. I had to readjust the top a couple times during the evening. Also, the top and bottom zip was an added touch. I raised the bottom zipper so the dress had a split look to it. #Kinda needed it since it was so tight on the bottom.) I have to add it was a hassle going to the restroom. I had to dress and undress several times because it was way too tight to simply pull-up. Also, I found that the bottom zip had the tendency of sticking. After wearing it for about four hours, the leather looked extremely worn as though it was a few years old. However, I received plenty of compliments from women and men alike.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MinnieM from Great Dress This is a very well made dress and fits very nicely. I wish it came in more colors.

At the Jan. 19, 2006 meeting of the board of directors of the California Strawberry Commission, strawberry grower Mark Murai was hired as president. Murai, a third-generation Orange County farmer, has served on the Commission's Board of Directors for 17 years and led the organization as its Chairman of the Board from 2002-2004. He served as interim president for the past five months before accepting the permanent position.
Richard Amirsehhi, the commission's chairman of the board, says Murai's knowledge of the industry makes him an excellent leader. "With his experience and leadership in the industry, Mark is a natural choice for this key position," said Amirsehhi. "The industry will benefit from his expertise to guide the work needed to help realize the commission's strategic goals."
Murai began growing strawberries with his family's farms in 1985. Although he began farming sooner than expected (while still studying agricultural business management at Cal Poly, Pomona) he had always known he would spend his days in the strawberry fields, just as his father and grandparents had done before him.
"I'm very excited. Because I grew up in the strawberry industry, I have a passion for it, and my involvement with the commission has invigorated my enthusiasm," said Murai. "I look forward to carrying the industry's vision forward."
The California Strawberry Commission supports and represents the California strawberry industry with programs in research, education, public relations and issues management. The commission represents an industry of over 600 growers, shippers and processors.

Bell peppers
Don't forget the colorful impact that bell peppers -- red, yellow or green -- can make on your health. Virtually swimming in the powerful antioxidant vitamins C (291 percent DV per cup) and A (105 percent DV per cup), adding slices of peppers to your favorite dish is an excellent strategy for battling cell-damaging free radicals. Red peppers also contain carotenoids such as beta-carotene, lycopene and beta-cryptoxanthin, which are linked with reduced risk of certain cancers.

Verbondt van Eenigheydt
Verbondt van Eenigheydt (Alliance of Unity), an arrangement between a number of Dutch Mennonite churches made at Utrecht on 9 September 1664, and ratified by 98 ministers and deacons, representing 28 churches in a meeting held at Leiden, 1 and 2 October 1664. This Alliance meant a concentration of the conservatives after the Dutch Mennonites had been divided by the Lammerenkrijgh into a more progressive (Lamist) and a more conservative (Zonist) part. The arrangement is embodied in six articles, which state that the existing and approved confessions of faith that were in harmony with the Scriptures were to be maintained; ministers who opposed these confessions were to be suspended, and newly chosen ministers were to subject themselves to the authority of the confessions. The representatives promised each other to stand together, to maintain the basic creed of the church and to invite other churches to join the Alliance. A booklet containing die minutes of the Utrecht and Leiden meetings and inviting similarly minded churches to join the Alliance was published under the title Het Oprecht Verbondt van Eenigheydt . . . met minnelijcke aenbiedinge aen alle die soo gesint zijn (Rotterdam, 1664; reprints Amsterdam 1665, Haarlem 1700, Rotterdam 1739). The Verbondt van Eenigeydt was not a confession of faith as is stated by Herman Schijn, but an agreement to maintain the approved confessions. This Alliance of the conservatives, soon generally called Zonists, in course of time developed into the Zonist Conference (Societeit).

Representative Louise Slaughter (D-NY) reintroduced the Prevention First Act in the House on Monday. This bill, which was not acted on the last congress, is designed to increase access to both contraception and comprehensive sex education and reduce the number of unintended pregnancies in the US. The bill, which was introduced in the Senate by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) in early January, is now in committee in both Houses.
The legislation would increase funds for the National Family Planning Program (known as Title X) and for Medicaid Family Planning Services. The bill would also end insurance discrimination against women, spread awareness about emergency contraception, provide rape victims with free emergency contraception, and require medically accurate information in federally funded sex education programs.
"I am proud to reintroduce this bill which serves as an innovative and comprehensive approach to protecting women's reproductive health, decreasing the spread of STDs, and reducing the number of unintended pregnancies," Rep. Slaughter said of the bill in a Senate press release. "If we want to reduce the number of abortions in this country, the methodology is clear -- empower women to prevent unintended pregnancies through education and access to contraception."

The Invisible War Film Screening & Panel Discussion
The Invisible War (97 minutes)
The Invisible War, a groundbreaking investigative documentary about one of America's most shameful and best kept secrets: the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military.
Today a female soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan is more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. Premiering at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the esteemed Audience Award, The Invisible War reveals the epidemic of rape within the U.S. military—and exposes the humiliating choice many service members are forced to make between speaking up and serving their country.
Nonpartisan and fair minded, The Invisible War exposes these devastating crimes and acts as a catalyst for long overdue political and cultural change.
Focusing on the powerfully emotional stories of rape victims, The Invisible War is a moving indictment of the systemic cover-up of military sex crimes, chronicling the women's struggles to rebuild their lives and fight for justice. It also
features hard-hitting interviews with high-ranking military officials and members of Congress that reveal the perfect
storm of conditions that exist for rape in the military, its long-hidden history, and what can be done to bring about much-needed change.
Tuesday, October 30, 2012
12:30 p.m. - Millett Hall Atrium
5:00 p.m. - Medical Sciences Auditorium

text: Why Are There 40 Days to Lent? Lent has 40 days - ever wonder why? Lent is the 40 day long penitential period in the Catholic Church, immediately prior to the Paschal Feast (Easter) the greatest feast in the Church. The Eastern Catholic churches call this period Great Lent. There is a strong Biblical foundation for observing a 40 day period of penance and/or anticipation. The Scriptures are full of the significance, perhaps known only to God, of the number 40. In the Old Testament, God punished mankind by sending a flood over the earth for 40 days and nights. The people of Nineveh repented of their sins with 40 days of fasting. The Prophet Ezekiel lay on his right side for 40 days as a precursor to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem. The Prophet Elijah fasted and prayed for 40 days on Mount Horeb. Moses fasted 40 days and nights while on Mount Sinai. Moses and the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 penitential years until they entered the Promised Land. In the New Testament, the Lord fasted for 40 days and nights in preparation for the beginning of His public ministry. We model our 40 day season of Lent today on this holy tradition, established throughout Salvation History, the story of God's relationship with humanity. Most importantly we observe these 40 days of Lent in imitation of Our Lord - the example for us all. Very early in the history of the Church, the practices and duration of Lent became more regulated with the Church Fathers encouraging the practice of the 40 day period of fasting prior to the more intense fasting of Holy Week. By the end of the fourth century, it was well established in the Church that Lent's duration was 40 days and that prayer and fasting constituted its primary spiritual exercises. Unto this very day, we observe 40 days of penitential practices, typically of prayer and fasting because we take Jesus as our model, to prepare ourselves for the Paschal feast, that is, Easter. The Catechism tells us "By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert." (Catholic Catechism #540).

Prosecutor: 547 drug cases in Marshall County in 2012
MARSHALL CO. — An increase in the popularity of synthetic marijuana has contributed to Marshall County spending more to test evidence picked up in drug arrests.
Prosecutor David Holmes told county commissioners Tuesday that 547 drug cases came through the county system in 2012. Evidence including drugs and paraphernalia in 182 cases were submitted to Great Lakes Laboratory in Valparaiso for testing.
County commissioners recently received what they called "a sticker shock" when they saw the 2013 contract with Great Lakes Laboratory. The price to test evidence was about double what the county had been paying — from $42,240 to $84,000 per year.
"I appreciate the expense that's involved, but one of the things that's really upped the number of cases is…synthetic marijuana," said Holmes to commissioners. "With synthetic drugs, it's difficult for us to even charge somebody without knowing what's there. I'd say there are times the defendant doesn't even know what they have…there's a lot of bizarre stuff out there."
Sheriff Tom Chamberlin added that his department does not have any way to field test synthetic marijuana.
According to a report from Great Lakes Laboratory, just 33 Marshall County drug cases were tested in 2010. That number jumped to 182 in 2012. This is the reason for the price increase, said Great Lakes representative Michelle Volk.
"Historically, Marshall County has always submitted between 35-50 cases (a year)," said Volk. "Since David Holmes took office as prosecutor, there's been a increase. But it's not just Marshall County. There have been increases in other counties too. Drugs aren't going anywhere."
Volk said that the average price to test a drug case is $400. That includes an average of five or six items in each case.
Holmes said that he had researched other lab options for the county, but they were all a great distance away.
"I have not seen any question about Great Lakes' credibility," added Holmes. "Our experience with them is that the credibility is there."
Commissioner Kevin Overmyer commented, "Now I understand that we've increased your work."
He referenced the county's long-standing relationship with Great Lakes and noted that the company has not raised their rates for years.
Volk noted that in the 2013 contract between Great Lakes and Marshall County, there is a limit of 175 cases for the $84,000.
"Marshall County has never had a limit before, since the numbers were predictably low," said Volk. "Every other county has had a limit."
After further discussion, commissioners agreed to a new two-year contract with Great Lakes Laboratory (for 2013-14) at $84,000 per year.

Migrating to Mobile/Responsive Web Design at UVM
Visitors are accessing websites with an ever increasing array of devices and browsers from desktop computers and laptops to netbooks and tablets, and, of course, mobile phones. The challenge for institutions like UVM is to devise a mobile-friendly, device-agnostic web strategy that encompasses a large number of pages maintained by a large group of people.
In a nutshell "responsive web design" is a method of web design using CSS and other techniques to allow the layout and content of pages on a website to respond according to the screen resolution and orientation of the device viewing the site. This means making your design and images shrink and grow to the browser window and altering the layout (often the number of columns) at specified resolution thresholds. Additionally responsive web designs allow easy interaction when using a touchscreen and contain video and audio that plays across a wide range of devices. The result, when implemented well, is a highly functional and attractive website regardless of the device used to access it. The technique often eliminates the need to create multiple sites and designs which is particularly appealing to a large and varied site like uvm.edu.
Here are a few non-UVM websites already using responsive web design (note that what makes these sites responsive is visible only when viewed on different devices and/or if you drag your browser corner smaller in an attempt to emulate a smaller device screen):
Rolling out responsive at UVM
The UVM Web Team rolled out a new responsive design for the homepage and top tier of the UVM site on Monday, January 7, 2013. This means that the homepage and all of the main pages of navigation off the top tier (including sections like About UVM, Academics, Admissions, etc....) are responsive at this time. On larger screens such as laptop and desktop computers, these pages don't appear noticeably different than before. It's really when pulled up on smaller mobile devices or scaled that the difference is seen.
A glimpse across several devices at the future UVM homepage.
Making your UVM website responsive
Continue to check our Web Guide for updates. If you wish to bring your current publishing system site into the responsive fold, see the directions on how to retro-fit your site, as well as info on help available. For most, the conversion will be relatively fast and easy. If you wish to create a new site at UVM, and wish that to be responsive, our HTML templates are responsive and available for download.
Here's your short list to help prepare for the transition to responsive design:
- Remove the ROT (Redundant, Outdated, Trivial) content from your site
- Verify that you have clean, well-structured HTML pages
- Focus navigation and content on only the most important data and actions
- If you have a mobile device and are not already doing so, spend time navigating the web. It can be an enlightening exercise in discovering the benefits and challenges of accessing websites from these smaller mobile devices.

What were the chances that Posh would slack off on her style while on vacation? Remember how well dressed she is just for the airport? While on a skiing trip in the French Alps with her adorable sons, the fashion-plate turned out everyday in a different and chic outfit. From her head-to-toe white North Face to her bold canary yellow Moncler puffer to her zippered black parker and white pants combo, Beckham has been turning heads where ever she shooshes. Even her razored blond locks get a sporty kick with a wide black headband. And the kicker to each of these fabulous outfits? Posh's ski poles are logoed Chanel. Tell us: What do you think of Posh's ski outfits?

Links, 8.16.10Posted: August 16, 2010 Filed under: Genealogy | Tags: Link Love Leave a comment
Thank goodness for the FGS Conference kicking off this week in Knoxville, TN, proving that things do happen in August. Here in the Northeast, that's hard to remember sometimes. (But permit me a shout-out to my relatives in places where kids are heading back to school this month. Congratulations, parents! Sorry, kids.)
Out of those PJs: This is good advice for genealogy enthusiasts as well as grumpy schoolchildren. A Michigan columnist presents a nicely balanced view of the good vs. bad in online research, ending with the inevitable (but worthy) caveat: "Get out of your pajamas and find those original documents!"
Adoption records: A decade ago, a dear friend died suddenly just two months after the birth of her first child. An adoptee, she had met her birth mother a few years before. When such meetings take place, they often do so without the benefit of vital records the rest of us take for granted. In New Jersey, as in all but nine states, adoptees cannot have access to their own birth certificates to find out who they are. Now, an open adoption records bill will go before our state Assembly in the fall. The story at the link does a good job of summarizing the pro and con positions, but what gripped me most was one adoptee's quote: "I have friends who are really into genealogy and when they start talking about it, I shut down. I don't want to be rude, but it's upsetting."
Korea researchers, take note: Via the Korea Times, Korean genealogy resources were in the spotlight at the World Library and Information Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. Officials announced the launch of a digital genealogy database at the Paik Inje Memorial Library of Inje University.
More resource news: In case you haven't heard, Ancestry.com has unveiled the National Probate Calendar, summaries of probate cases in England and Wales between 1861 and 1941. Here is one researcher's success story in using it.
Answers at last: In the Kansas City Star, Mary Sanchez reports on a woman's quest to find out just what happened to a relative who was sent away to a home for epileptics in the 1940s. What she found was a great comfort to her family, who never knew much about where the relative was sent, and how she died. While we often worry about unearthing nasty skeletons, this is a good example of how family research can also allay old fears.
Museum opening: Via the Mormon Times, the Alex Haley House Museum has just opened its doors in Henning, TN. The front porch of this lovely Craftsman-style house is where Haley first heard the family stories about Kunta Kinte, his African ancestor who became the focus of Haley's groundbreaking work Roots. The house, which belonged to Haley's maternal grandfather, has been restored to the way it would have appeared at the time Haley was born.
In the community: Dick Eastman has reprised (and somewhat revised) a classic explanation of Soundex and why it's important … At GeneaBloggers, Thomas MacEntee draws our attention to the very first RootsTech conference, to be held in February 2011.
Enjoy the week, whether you're at a genealogy conference, or just back in school.

appearance by tuba soloist Deanna Swoboda, a professor of
tuba/euphonium at Western Michigan University and a member of the
Western Brass Quintet, a faculty ensemble.
Swoboda will be featured on two songs with the band. A new arrangement of Variations on "Barnacle Bill the Sailor" allows Swodoba to showcase the tuba's extreme range. Then, as a former clarinet ist, Swodoba will perform a tuba rendition of "Clarinet Polka."
"I love the theme," Swoboda said. "It's fun because it's making a connection beyond music. Maybe a few sports fans will come up."
She's also equally excited to play with the Lansing Concert Band, "It's a really good band. They play good music, yet music that is entertaining and interesting to the audience."
The band will continue its baseball theme with Ken Beachler narrating "Casey at the Bat," and a performance of "Pastime: A Salute to Baseball," a rapid-fire variation of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
The concert features the world premiere of "Dancing Day" by Jim Colonna, a piece commissioned to commemorate the retirement of the band's associate director John Endahl, who will also conduct the concert.
