My Wish List for the 2009 Mets:
-David Wright
-Ryan Church
-Mike Pelfrey
-Damion Easley
-John Maine
-Billy Wagner
-Scott Schoenweis
-Brian Schneider
-Ramon Castro
Anyone else currently on the roster should be traded for players who are 1) average-above average at their positions, and 2) gritty/tough players
I know this is all pure nonsense and that it'll never happen, but right now, the above players seem to be the ones who have that extra something special that is reminiscent of the early 90's Braves and late 90's Yankees.
Yes, I realize that this means getting rid of Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, and Johan Santana. I'm okay with all of that. Really, I am. All three are great players who could fetch some real talent in return, guys who have maybe a little less talent but a lot more grit.
I'm all for a complete over-haul of the team and the minor league system. Watching the Rays pound the Red Sox earlier this week, and seeing how fun that team is to watch, I felt very jealous.
Go ahead and tell me how wrong I am.

'Cottage perfect. Views and scenery in the surrounding countryside stupendous. Will be back for more'. Mary & Sandy Kelman
elcome to the spectacular Manifold Valley, Dovedale and the luxurious all inclusive self catering cottages at Swainsley Farm.
Escape the hustle and bustle. Get away from it all. Come and relax at our luxurious, hideaway. Swainsley Farm is very private with parking well away from the nearest road. We are located in an elevated position looking south over the beautiful Manifold River which flows through spectacular crags and wooded valleys before joining the Dove several miles downstream. Our guests have amazing panoramic views with wonderful walking straight from the door!
Great care has been taken to convert traditional 18th century farm buildings into three fantastic cottages. Beamed ceilings and many original features have been combined with modern essentials such as well equipped kitchens and new, deluxe bathrooms providing contemporary but understated luxury. Free WiFi internet connection, comfy beds with mattress toppers, I-pod docks and Nespresso coffee machines are some of the things you can expect. Spa treatments: why not pamper yourself and book holistic and beauty therapies in your cottage?
This is an area of outstanding natural beauty with lush tranquil dales and wild romantic highlands. Steeped in history, there are many National Trust properties, great houses and magnificent gardens. Some of the best cycling in the Peak District is available on the Manifold Trail (running below Swainsley Farm and suitable for wheelchair users and mums with push chairs).
Riding, trekking and fishing are all available locally and the more adventurous can try their hand at rock climbing, caving, sailing, canoeing and hang gliding. Others may just want to stroll through fields, walk along the banks of the Manifold River or visit our pretty villages with their lovely old churches and ancient inns.
We are about a mile from Butterton which has a shop and a lovely old pub, the Black Lion. There are other wonderful pubs and places to eat close-by including the Manifold Inn (in the tiny hamlet of Hulme End, a short distance away along the Manifold Trail) and the George Inn in Alstonefield (selected by the Times/Alistair Sawday as one of their 10 best pubs). There are a number of golf courses nearby.
The market towns of Buxton, Bakewell, Ashbourne and Leek are within 10 or 12 miles - all have regular markets, good shops, cafes and antique centres. There are many family attractions close by including Alton Towers, Matlock Bath and Chatsworth. The Potteries is the home of Wedgwood, Royal Doulton, Spode and others. The international sporting and concert venues of Manchester, Sheffield, Derby and Stoke-on-Trent are easily assessable for a great day out.
Try our perfect romantic hideaway and relax in this wonderful, peaceful setting!

Climate Change and Sustainability Services
In today's rapidly changing economic environment and the confidence crunch, companies are giving increasing attention to business reputation – and larger companies are looking to be good and green. Most companies understand that focusing exclusively on the financial aspects of business is not enough for success. Building up social capital and a proactive approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) not only promote a company's image, but also strengthen the trust of shareholders, investors, government agencies and other stakeholders. An effective management system for environmental, social and ethical performance can help make balanced decisions, focus on the areas essential for strategy implementation and ensure the maximal yield of realized projects. EY provides the following corporate social responsibility and sustainability services:
- Strategic advisory, including CSR strategy and program development, as well as support in the development of management systems and relevant KPIs
- Support in the development and further improvement of non-financial reporting systems and processes, as well as in the preparation of non-financial reports
- Independent assurance of non-financial reports in accordance with international standards
- Advisory on climate change, including strategy development and the introduction of relevant tools and controls, as well as the verification of greenhouse gas emissions
- Assessment of the company's environmental, health and safety (EHS) risks and liabilities.

How sustainability has expanded the CFO's role
Investors, business customers and other stakeholders have shown a growing desire to connect a company's financial performance to its social and environmental impact (the organization's "triple bottom line"). CFOs are getting involved in the management, measurement and reporting of the companies' sustainability activities. This involvement has expanded the CFO's role - learn more from our recent survey.
Seven questions for CEOs and boards considering sustainability reporting
Although sustainability reporting is voluntary, the broad trend is towards greater disclosure. Here are seven things that CEOs and boards should ask in order to prepare for the possibility of reporting on sustainability for the first time, or to improve their existing reports by enhancing data collection processes.
Top five highly charged risk areas
Climate change and sustainability efforts open avenues for making and saving money, but also make organizations vulnerable to a wide variety of risks. For the Internal Audit function, identifying and understanding these risks and how they affect the organization is critical.
Ready or not, here comes sustainability
Customer demand is driving sustainability. Recent responses from governments, corporations and investors demonstrate that the demand for sustainability is being heard loud and clear. But corporations face a daunting challenge. Can they evolve their business processes rapidly enough to keep pace with changing customer attitudes about sustainability of the products and services they purchase and the partners they choose to work with?

I added a tiny bit of purple and pink into her eyebrows, for instance, because color is very big for spring and summer." --Inessa Shak, make-up artist In this photo shoot with The Doves, Sonya Dove described the colors she used to color the Hairdreams extensions as being those you'd spy in a diamond as the light hits it and it flares. "We used soft, muted, pastel tones—some lavender, soft gray, soft pinks, and a soft yellow. And while our model is already blonde, we went lighter because we wanted a very pale, soft base."

As someone who starts the day with the smoky flavor of Russian Caravan, I like a gentler, but still flavorful tea in the afternoon. This tea has become a new favorite. While so many other teas are flat, Ratnapura makes a strong, complex cup. In addition to the malt and tobacco, I would add a note of cocoa. Stands alone or holds up to the addition of milk.
- Stephen Shotwell 2/16/06
- Belmont, CA
Something about this tea I find so elegant -- partly it's the beautifully uniform and unbroken leaves, partly it''s the lovely aroma, partly it's the play of subtle flavors in perfect balance with the soft tannins. Thanks for offering this one. I hope it will be making comebacks.
- Charles Amirkhanian 4/1/02
- El Cerrito, CA
This is a winner. Something different entirely ?an acquired taste perhaps? but worth the effort. Effort is required to scoop the tea out of the tin. The leaves are rigid and tightly curled and nearly require a forklift (tongs will do) to dislodge. If you like Lion Mountain Keemun, this flavor is related but more austere. Since good years for this tea are rare, get it now.

This is one of the finest teas I have ever had the opportunity to enjoy! This tea has a rich, fresh aroma and a sweet, warm flavor. While I believe this tea would be fine with milk I find it to be perfection on its own.

I've been cupping the rare teas a lot in my store visits. The Sri Lanka Ratnapura stands out every time. I enjoy the round complex flavors of this tea. It combines malty flavors with a sweet, tangy berry flavor. I tried this tea with milk to see how well it stood up. It passed the test, the astringency mellowed a little and the sweetness of the milk melded nicely with the malt and fruit flavors.

Anti Spam Releases (Mollom, reCaptcha)
6 July 2009 at 8:36pm Last edited: 10 July 2009 5:12pm
Hey Guys,
Tonight I have tagged 3 rc releases of our 3 anti spam modules which have had a couple API changes. If you are trying to setup a site with mollom, recaptcha or your custom spam protection module these updates will hopefully provide a stable platform.
Both these spam protection methods (mollom and recaptcha) are compatible with the new userforms (0.2rc2 to be released soon). Previously your only option was mollom, now reCaptcha has been adapted to implement the userforms required code.
As always please report any errors to open.silverstripe.org. Please make sure you tag issues under the correct component (spamprotection, mollom and recaptcha respectively). The module documentation page as well as the internal documention is being updated as we speak (forgot to update the internal files before tagging sorry )

I am currently testing silverstripe as CMS for a new release of my site. I tried to install and setup the anti-spam-modules and recaptcha.
After struggling to get the right versions of everything (spam module, userform and recaptcha) I got the thing running. However I had to change the line 172 in the file RecaptchaField.php from
<input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field" value="manual_challenge">
<input type="hidden" name="recaptcha_response_field" value="manual_challenge"/>
Please note the slash at the end. Without it I get a XML-malformed error.
However, after that I still do not see the captcha. If I deactivate Java-Script (I am using Firefox), I do see the captcha-fallback of the noscript tag. But with Java-Script it is invisible. It is also invisible in IE8.
If I try to submit the form I get the correct message "Please answer the captcha question". The behaviour is the same on page comment forms or user forms with an spam protection field. So, something is going on and I do see the generated Java-Scripts but nothing is showing. The div-tag for the captcha field is empty.
Do you have an idea what's going wrong?
Best regards

Yeah same for me. I spent a long time trying to figure out whether I had put the code correctly in and then I thought I'd have a look through the module and found the unclosed <input> tag. I still have no idea why it doesn't show up in FireFox, really need to get this going quick so any help would be much appreciated.

Take a look at the thread http://www.silverstripe.org/all-other-modules/show/264509?start=0#post264657.
You can change the document type to XHTML transitional instead of strict. Then the captcha will be shown.

Like I said before and I will say it again.
HP problem is not the WebOS it is the damn management.
New executive wants to make a mark on the company, so he decides to point company to a different direction. Only way they can do that is to kill his predecessors project which would be WebOS, just so it can not have any success. Did not attempt to save over $1.6 billion spent on a project and kills the project so quickly, don't even hint that they will sell it to someone else and just let it die... Irresponsible management if you ask me.
Well of course it would run on an Apple product... But seriously, I used to think HP made good hardware. Maybe Apple should buy webOS then they could take all the ideas without getting sued or criticized
The device sync and the tap to transfer is exactly what I devices are missing. I like webOS sad to see it go.
I think google should buy webOS and call it android 2.0....alot cleaner and that's what android need to do to compete against apple, to clean up the android system and experience!
I kinda agree with unison. I didnt knew that.
Well let see the WebOS is consider the best Mobil software in the market and what it´s need is a push for someone like HP
Nokia needs to drop their Symbian OS and go with this WebOS.
I am sure HTC would not have a problem build hardware that would run WebOS efficiently as well...
Plenty of company out there that can design and build a more superior hardware than HP, they could have been the solution for HP to recover some investment into the OS but that is not what HP did. There is something going on in the background of HP that they are not saying, you just do not flush $1.6 billion down the toilet for no reason.
I think Apple is very dependend on Steve Jobs and HP should keep it all in the fridge.
With the thousands and thousands of devices being sent back esp from Bestbuy and other huge stores sending hundres of thousands back the only way to guarantee sales furing the Firesale is to not restrict people to the poor HP app store.
If someone could break the Touchapd and run android on it (for example) the deivce would be a real bargain at $99 even if the hardware is not as fresh.
I want web os on my iPad 2 is it posable.
I just ran Gears of War 3 on my PS3 just to see how it went...got no results :-(

Spectrum Wars, Piece By Piece
Reuben is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
AT&T (NYSE: T) made a bold bet that it could acquire T-Mobile from Deutsche Telekom AG (DTEGY) and, in one transaction, boost its market share and, more importantly, ownership of wireless spectrum. The government, however, can't seem to leave Ma Bell well enough alone and, essentially, scuttled the deal. That has sent AT&T into guerilla warfare mode. It has notable implications for the industry and AT&T.
It's About Spectrum
Subscriber growth is important to cell phone providers. Not only do more customers lead to more revenues, but being the biggest cell phone company is a pretty nice bragging right. At this point, Verizon's (NYSE: VZ) wireless operation, which it owns jointly with Vodafone (VOD), can claim to be the king. AT&T would clearly like to ascend to the throne.
Ma Bell tried to leap over Verizon with its proposed purchase of T-Mobile. That deal would have made AT&T the undisputed king, but would have cemented the duopoly that AT&T and Verizon effectively have today by removing one of the few notable competitors. While customers don't seem to mind the duopoly, the government did and it effectively blocked the deal.
While losing the ability to brag about having the most customers was a bad thing, the real trouble from the busted deal was the spectrum that slipped through AT&T's fingers. Having the spectrum to serve existing and potential customers is the real challenge today for cell phone providers.
Data, Data, Data
As wireless technology has advanced, so, too, has the use of that technology. It isn't uncommon for a single user to have a web-enabled cell phone, a tablet of some sort, and a laptop computer, all of which are capable of connecting wirelessly to the Internet. Years ago, it would have just been the cell phone and that would have only been used for voice calls.
Making matters worse is the increased use of data. Sending a text message or receiving an email isn't problematic, even when multiplied by a cell phone provider's entire customer base. What gets more difficult is services like streaming video and music. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) and Pandora (P) are two examples of companies complicating the spectrum issue.
In the case of Netflix, and challengers like Amazon's (AMZN) Prime service and privately held Hulu, the massive store of movies and television shows makes watching what customers want easy. Being able to stream that video over wireless spectrum makes video available pretty much anywhere. This is one reason why Netflix ended 2012 with over 27 million U.S. customers.
The U.S. operations were so strong, in fact, that the company turned a profit when the market expected a loss because of overseas expansion efforts. The shares skyrocketed on the news. The big news for the cell phone providers, however, should be that they need more spectrum—Fast! People want what they want where they want it, and that increasingly means on the train, in the car, on a boat, or just walking around a park.
Cell phone companies that don't have adequate spectrum will get pegged as providing poor service. Poor service leads to customers changing providers. In AT&T's case, it can no longer rely on an exclusive right to sell Apple's (AAPL) iPhone to cover up service issues.
Going Gorilla
Spectrum, however, is in short supply and getting more is, effectively, controlled by Uncle Sam. All the more so since the government intervened in the T-Mobile deal. AT&T has been forced to collect spectrum in drips and drabs. The $780 million Atlantic Tele-Network deal is just one such drip, as AT&T has been in active pursuit of spectrum over the last year, using purchases and various deals to fortify its network.
That's a lot of legwork. Such wheeling and dealing takes time and can distract management teams. Verizon, too, has to be on watch, as it can't sit idle on the spectrum front. With big deals likely off the table for the industry giant, it will also have to be creative.
Interestingly, Atlantic Tele-Network bought the spectrum it just sold to AT&T from Verizon in 2010. The price Atlantic Tele-Network paid just a few years ago was $223 million, and that deal included more customers. This suggests that the price of spectrum has gone up three fold in just three years. In fact, the big boys are even trading spectrum with each other in some cases to gain approval for bigger deals. The cell phone space is going to be a weird one for a little while.
Investor Beware
While the growth in cell phone usage is still a great story; there are limits to how much spectrum is available. This means that the cell phone providers can only do so much before things start to break. Either their costs will go up as they try to find new spectrum or they will have to find a way to limit usage. The latter is the more likely outcome, over time, anyway. Either way, investing in the space will mean an increasing focus on spectrum and controlling the best customers, and less of one on raw customers counts.

1994 claret, particularly left-bank, has drawn mostly lukewarm reviews from the outset. By contrast 1995 was praised to the skies initially but has drawn less enthusiasm in recent years. Up to now, I have found my 1994s far more satisfactory drinking than the 95s, though I still hope that the latter may come round one day. This is another good example of the former.
Château Pontet-Canet Pauillac 5ème Grand Cru Classé 1994 – Tesseron – Alc.12.5% was even better than a bottle opened about 6 months ago, mainly through seeming less gritty in texture and angular in its tannins. Colour was quite deep showing little signs of age and the nose was expressive with savoury cassis tinged red and dark fruit, a welcome dab of Bordelais noble green, gritty minerals and a hint of cedar. The palate was medium/full showing quite primary red fruit, decent depth, velvety texture, more minerals and lively acidity together with firm tannins on a finish with fair length; excellent 17/20.

Don't Ever Admit That
December 28, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
Milo Ventimiglia admitted that he's dating that midget bitch Hayden Panatroll. InTouch claims that at a Christmas party at the Water Grill in Los Angeles 30-year-old Milo toasted to his 18-year-old love.
A witness said, "He called her his girlfriend and said that he loved her." The source claims they spent the whole night holding hands.
I refuse to believe this. Milo will never admit this, because then he will have to admit that he has a fetish for midgets. Hayden belongs with someone like Elijah Wood or Jermaine Duprio or one of the Keebler elves. Not Milo!

FEMA is scheduled pull out of Oso this weekend, marking the end of a near month-long presence in Snohomish County. It's something many consider to be a turning point in the aftermath of the March 22 landslide.
RELATED: Active search at Oso landslide ends; 2 still missing
Although disaster relief tents will be torn down, families impacted by the slide will be able to apply for financial assistance through June. A disaster information center is now open in Darrington for families to sign up for financial aid.
"It's not the start of a new chapter. It's the start of a new book," said Darrington mayor Dan Rankin.
Rankin has shifted his role to full-time mayor as he seeks to prevent his small mountain town from economic trouble following the deadly landslide.

Highway 530 has been closed since the slide, virtually cutting the town off from traffic just before the busy recreation season.
"We are making a road map for our future," he said. "We will be OK. This is a tough town."
Rankin is working with community leaders in Oso and Arlington to attract small business and recreational opportunities to keep the towns alive.
In another milestone, IMCO General Construction, based in Ferndale, is now contracting with the Washington State Department of Transportation to begin removing dirt and debris from the slide site. Excavation will begin Friday and is expected to take months before Highway 530 can be re-opened.
A FEMA helpline is still available for affected families: 800-621-3362.

SPOKANE--A shortage of helium in the U.S. could put a damper on your next party. Supplies are dwindling across the country, leaving some businesses feeling a little deflated.
A local helium distributor says it's a case of demand outweighing supply.
Norco, Inc. distributes helium across the inland northwest. Managers are trying to take care of their customers while keeping the situation in perspective.
The United States is the world's biggest maker of helium. In the past few months some plants temporarily shut down for maintenance, which means there are fewer products to go around.
Over at Inland Imaging in Spokane, employees provide outpatient MRI services for a number of facilities. Those machines need helium to operate correctly, which means levels are being monitored closely.
Company leaders say it shouldn't be a major issue and although buying party balloons might be difficult these next few months, it's just something people are going to have to deal with.
Experts say it could be several months before the supply is replenished, but limited access to helium may last another year, which means prices could continue to rise.

It isn't often that I complain about male attention because most of the time I enjoy it. It's a really rare moment of regretting men exist that, thankfully, I get over pretty quickly. Last week, I had the misfortune of having a discussion with a man, who I'll call Mike, because that's the jerk's name.
Mike is married. Mike believes that as a married man he has the right to say any old random thing to single women. He starts talking about the fact that I am still not married and marveling over how youthful I look because of this fact (or in spite of?). He has gray hair that he blames on his wife and her boyfriend.
The conversation devolves when Mike offers to be my boyfriend, someone who I can talk to and be there for me. He thinks that my life is "too free" and I need to settle down and have a man guide it.
This is the part where I would love to tell you that I punched Mike in the forehead. I did not do this. Remember, my dad raised a non-violent, classy woman (thanks a lot, Dad). Instead, I told Mike that I am pretty satisfied with my "fancy free" life at this moment. I would love to be married one day and I am willing to wait until the right man (preferably not married?) came along. I graciously ended the conversation and ranted about needing married man repellent.
It's interesting that settling down is viewed by some to mean no longer being a free spirit. I don't know if I am being unrealistic here, but when you marry someone, aren't you allowed to still do some things you did before you were in a couple?
Clearly, I wouldn't go to strip clubs or hire private dancers at my condo when I get married (not that I'm doing that right now or anything.) I just want to know what do men expect their women to give up when she settles down? Why do people have a time frame for women to get married?
Why do people think they can and should let you know when they think it's time to settle down?

Good Morning All,
Why do people have a time frame for women to get married?
I have no idea..I guess it goes back to the days of being a old maid. If you haven't married by a certain time then you will be a old maid living with cats…I know a few ladies who have married after the age of 35 and had kiddies(pretty sure I am not doing the baby thing again. Dare I type this..but I want to get married someday(dizzy..steady..steady)or atleast settle into a comfort life with a perm-boyfriend.
Why do people think they can and should let you know when they think it's time to settle down? Oh that's easy cause they nosy and if they are your family they care anddddd they nosy. My cousin told me I have to stop being so hard on a brother and being so hard to catch..not sure I have figured that out yet. But I will take this thought into consideration.

I think it's a myth that "alot of people" expect women to give up things when they get married. If anything, I see the media trumpet the theory that women SHOULD have it all and deserve it. As a rule of thumb, we encourage women to do anything (you go girl) and seem to always be telling males: stop that, don't do that, what you should be doing is……, surpress that neanderthal desire.
WD, seems like you ran in to a complete jerk, but he doesn't represent men any more than the women on housewives represents married women.
June 21st, 2010
9:12 am
You inevitably have to give up certain things when you get married because marriage requires considering two peoples interests, not just one. You give up some amount of self-centerdness because you have to become we-centered. It doesn't mean you can't ever do things you want to do, by yourself or with people other than your spouse. It does mean that you need to take your spouse's point of view into consideration.
As to the "when are you getting married" question, that's probably rooted in the tradition of getting married before having children. That's time driven.
And then after you get married it's always "when are you having a kid?". Then you have one and it's "When are you having another kid?". After that, the formula questions seem to stop, thankfully.
Any married man looking for a 'relationship' other than his wife should really give some serious thought to why he is married at all.

This topic is funny to me. The reason I say that is because I've seen intelligent folks build their lives on a timeline, and when that timeline failed they became depress. Everything is not for everybody at the same time. Marriage is not for everyone, some folks are better off single.

Good morning.
I was at the part of his wife and her boyfriend. WD, did you ask why he's still in the marriage if he knows she has a boyfriend. Or, did he simply tell you that in the hopes of being able to get with him. I swear some men don't think women have any scruples.
This deserves repeating What a douche.

I think the whole phrase "settle down" implies being bored. For some people they stop living their lives when in fact it starts a whole new chapter. Men think settling down means devoting your life to them, but it's about a balance of living your life and being a blessing to his.
June 21st, 2010
9:57 am
Why do people have a time frame for women to get married?
Because most traditional men want to marry a woman who is emotionally mature, "grown up," and within what's considered "healthy child bearing age."
society at large view MOST women over thirty who haven't married don't seem to have had these basic personality characteristics at the healthy child bearing age, allowing them to marry at a reasonable age.
sound harsh but it is indeed how this society view it, guessing because of the heavy pioneering, christian /African slavery background.
June 21st, 2010
9:58 am
When you marry there are some things you give up or temper out of consideration for the other person and the relationship in general. If you're naturally flirtatious, then you'd obviously have to temper that when in a relationship. In terms of settling down, you do that whenever YOU are ready. Everyone else in the world can tell you what to do, but no one else in the world has to live with the consequences of your choices. If they concentrated on the quality of their own decisions, they might not have time to be worrying about yours.

1) This "Mike" dude is a moron.
2) I don't think there's any one right or wrong answer here. The question is what do you want out of life. If you're feeling like you have to give up things for a relationship, then chances are you're either not ready for or don't really want that particular relationship. The simple truth is when you go from being single to being in a serious relationship, your life does change. But that should be something you want, not something you feel obliged to do.

Wise get outta my head por favor
I can't tell you how many times I get the when people find out I'm still single SANS man and children. I wonder if there is some unwritten societal rule that mandates that a woman should be married and birthin babies by a certain age. Give me a break already…there are enough broken adults out there who are the result of people having children before they're ready(if at all).
Now on to the married man thing….that's just gross. What I don't understand is that the married men have become so BRAZEN in their exploits and feel entitled to step out as long as they're "taking care of home". I can't tell you the amount of times I've been propositioned by a married man and the incredulous look of shock and disbelief when I shut them down…some even have the audacity to get upset…GTFOH and take your lame a** home.

Good morning lovely people! Hope everyone had a nice Father's Day weekend.
Not only does EVERYONE have women on a timeframe to be married & have kids, they have a timeframe on how long you should be dating someone before you SHOULD be getting engaged!
A relationship, whether it's a committed dating situation or marriage, should be the coming together of two INDIVIDUALS, enhancing each other's lives with what they bring to the table. The things they bring to the table are their values, ambitions, interests, hobbies, morals, lifestyles, etc. One may be more of a homebody, while the other likes to be out and about. Some love the great outdoors or athletic pursuits, while others like techy stuff or cooking or music. Some are very spiritual and family-oriented, love kids or want to remain childless and travel.
You should be yourself when getting to know each other. You should not feel the need to give up your interests because you are in a relationship. These are things that make you you. Another person to share YOU with should be the icing, not the end of the journey.
Of course, behaviors not supportive of the relationship should be curtailed, but that should be a given. A lot of times it's not and that's why a lot of relationships don't work.
Oh & married men hitting on women – disgusting! But that's why scorned wives should direct their anger more at their husbands than the other women. You have no idea the sob-stories some of those men have told! And I believe NONE of them!

If you do not expect to give up some things when you get married, do not expect to have a successful marriage. Things must change when you have to consider your mate (and children). Perception plays a major role in our lives you can't be involved in anything that might give the perception that you are up to something to your mate or those who know you or your mate. That harmless lunch date or happy hour with a friend of the opposite sex can cause problems if you don't communicate with your mate, and even if you do communicate it can still cause problems with friends & family who see you out. I am not saying that a married person cant go to lunch of happy hour with a friend of the opposite sex, but I am saying that you have to have an understanding mate and very good communication skills, and a lot of good old common sense.

OKAY?! Instead it seems as though they throw it all on the mistress and I don't think that's totally warranted…now if the other woman didn't know dude was married(and left) then that's one thing but if the mistress stayed then yeah she deserves what she gets…also when a woman knowingly cavorts with a married man they yeah her sorry a** is as much fair game as his…

Sassy – I've heard more than a few naive women say that if all the single women in the world would just notice the wedding band and stay away from all the married men there would be no messing around! As if the women are doing ALL the approaching and putting a gun to these men's heads!
Now yes, there are plenty trifling women out there that purposely pursue married men & I've had more than a few married male friends tell me thier ring is like a magnet! I'm not talking about those situations.
I don't approach men, so the married men approach ME. Very boldly, sometimes with the ring in full display, other not. But it is very known they are married. Trifling!

Good morning, SassyME!
@kimmie "Now yes, there are plenty trifling women out there that purposely pursue married men…." This is true, but it's up to that married man to not get caught. If he had respect for his vows, his wife and his family, he would shut down any advances up front. No pursuing would take place.

People believe that ish?….Houston we have a problem…
married men approach ME. Very boldly, sometimes with the ring in full display
That's usually how it happens to me,too. They figure if the ring is on blast and the woman still reciprocates his advances then she already knows what it is and is down…it's like an automatic out for them b/c they will surely throw that well she saw my wedding ring so she knows what it is around as long as it suits their needs/purposes….greedy bastards.
But knowing how fragile the male ego is….I wonder how/if they could handle it if it were the other way around and their woman/wife was stepping out and they knew it…speak on that.

so the married men approach ME. Very boldly, sometimes with the ring in full display,
Happens to me all the time…I guess if they have the ring on blast then they can always use that "well she saw my ring so she knows what it is" card but that's a bunch of malarkey.

I just want to know what do men expect their women to give up when she settles down?
Basically the men (and sometimes women) who can't/won't respect the boundaries of your marriage and the totally carefree attitude you had prior to settling down(if you had one). When you settle down you will probably have to alter your social lifestyle but that shouldn't mean you should completely exchange weekend excursions and enjoying life in general for a life of movies from Blockbuster or Netflix on the couch. But that's something that has to be discussed on the front end once things get really serious.
Why do people have a time frame for women to get married?
From my perspective, that seems to usually come from three sets of people: 1) older women who didn't have as many options in their lives and getting married was more of a rite of passage than an option for them; 2) contemporaries who got married very early and who thinks marriage is for everybody or they're wondering what if they had held off on marriage a little longer and are looking for 'misery loves company' recruits and 3) drama-centric people who like to be up in your business who give no rhyme or reason to how settling may affect your life but can't manage their own lives.
Why do people think they can and should let you know when they think it's time to settle down?
See item #3 in the previous paragraph.

Other apps (#13) - telhosting application (#17) - Message List
i'm looking to make an application to manage a contact account via a php web application. It seem you will provide soon you java telhosting application, can i know how is the state of the project today? Could you please make a little tutorial or describe how to connect easily to your SOAP API, what are the steps because i can't find clear informations in your documentation.
Best regards.
Message #19
We're actively testing the TelHosting Software at the moment, and will be releasing later in the year. When I get more definite dates, I will let you know. As for documentation, we'll be publishing a tutorial for a simple iPhone application, doing DNS lookups. We could probably also write one about connecting to SOAP APIs, but that's not started yet. Right now, you can use the Developer Manual, http://dev.telnic.org/docs/devguide.pdf, or look into the code of existing client applications. Blackberry should be the most extensive one, I expect.
If you have specific questions, we'll be happy to answer here.nadya10/29/08 11:35:11

ok so as i understood first step is to loggin in a TelHosting Provider account. How can i get this account ?jlefevre10/29/08 14:38:58
Message #22
You will be able to run your own for development (or later for production) purposes, but our TelHosting software is still in testing. However, in the next few days we'll be opening up a special "vip.tel" domain for developers and interested people to get their subdomains under vip.tel and start hitting its API, without having to wait for the official .tel launch.henri10/29/08 14:46:09
Message #21
If you want to manage a .tel via a php web app, you just have to use the SOAP API to hit the TelHosting software. As for how you'll use it, as Nadya said your first document should be the Developer Manual, and you should use the SOAP API reference. I am also going to be extending the iPhone app to enable the user to manage his own .tel, but that will not be for another few weeks.
You can look at the codebases for the Blackberry and Windows Mobile to see how you can log in through the SOAP API and make the necessary calls. It's pretty simple stuff.
Hhenri10/29/08 14:42:27
Message #27
Good news for you! - you can get a vip.tel that you test your application on - you can use our new AJAX API to create your PHP app, see the reference materials.
I hope this is helpful; if you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.nadya11/10/08 16:21:05

SSWC 2010, Day 4: FINA Synchro World Cup concludes with Russia's win in the Team event
Russia proved one more time they are unbeatable when they dominated the last event at the 12th FINA Synchronised Swimming World Cup in Changshu (CHN), winning the Team title for a total of three gold out of four on offer. The powerful but flexible Russians overshadowed the rest of field in the water ballet, taking the Team victory by 98.150 points while China finished second in 96.500 and Canada third in 95.600.

Russia wrapped up three titles in combination, solo and team while China took one gold in duet and three silver meals. Canada collected one silver and three bronze and Japan had a bronze medal.
The 21-year Anzhelika Timanina of Russia said: "It's my first World Cup, and my first world title. I want to take this gold for my coach." The Russian head coach Tatiana Pokrovskaya said: "We congratulate China and Canada for their great performance, which inspired us to show our best. Three gold from the World Cup is good, though we quit the duet because one of our swimmers was injured."
"But I think four events and four gold in a big competition are not enough. China and Canada all performed very well. Everyone should get gold medals," Pokrovskaya continued.
Wang Na, former national team member and now a national coach, admitted that her team did not perform their best in the Team free routine final. "We just performed normal level. Maybe it's because we are lack of training during the four day competition. We've learned a lot from Russia and Canada," Wang said.

Julie Sauve, Canada's head coach, considered: "Four medals. It's our first time to four medals in one World Cup. It's amazing."
The four-day World Cup has attracted more than 170 swimmers from 26 nations.

High atop my list of favorite Hitchcocks is "Foreign Correspondent" [Criterion]. This was Hitchcock in his transitional period, just after he made his Hollywood debut in 1940 with "Rebecca." (Both were nominated for that year's Best Picture Oscar, with "Rebecca" taking the prize.) But "Rebecca" is somewhat dry, for Hitchcock, with little of the ingenuity — and little of the humor — that marked 1930s British delights like "The 39 Steps," "The Lady Vanishes" and "The Man Who Knew Too Much." "Foreign Correspondent" is a crackerjack thriller that offers high entertainment and — as things worked out — turned out to be a timely, up-to-the-minute propaganda piece.
The foreign correspondent of the title is Joel McCrea, a beat reporter for the New York Globe who is sent to Europe to report on what's really happening (in place of the traditional correspondents who simply recycled news releases). He is shown the ropes by Robert Benchley, the Globe's man in London, who is on the wagon and visibly shaky; a fair amount of the film's humor comes directly from drama critic-turned-humorist-turned-actor Benchley, who gets co-screenwriter credit for providing his own material. McCrea is put on the trail of an elderly Dutch diplomat, in an exceptional performance from German exile Albert Basserman. Herbert Marshall, head of a do-gooder Peace Party, is tied up with the bad guys; Laraine Day, as his unsuspecting daughter, is the heroine; George Sanders, direct from "Rebecca," is a good-guy cooperating journalist; and the sinister Eduardo Ciannelli — a Broadway veteran, who starred as the villain in the stage and screen versions of Maxwell Anderson's Winterset — is the head Nazi.
"Foreign Correspondent" contains some of Hitchcock's most splendid moments, including an assassination on a rainy Amsterdam square punctuated by the use of a sea of black umbrellas. This is also the film with the windmills — if you've seen it, you know what I mean. We also have Edmund Gwenn — yes, the fellow who won an Oscar playing jolly Kris Kringle in "Miracle on 34th Street," with a glint in his eye — as a shady private detective who tries to shove our hero off the tower of Westminster Abbey. For a grand climax, Hitchcock stages a mid-Atlantic seaplane crash.
The film is given full Criterion Blu-ray treatment, complete with the inclusion of two DVDs — the film and the bonuses — along with one of those booklets with highly informative essays, in this case by James Naremore. Extra features include a droll 1972 interview with Hitchcock on "The Dick Cavett Show" and a new piece on the film's special effects in which they recreate the stunning plane crash. It turns out that Hitchcock had a daredevil pilot dive into the ocean and pull up at the last moment, with a camera above the cockpit; had the footage projected onto a rear projection screen made of rice paper; had his prop cockpit "dive" towards the screen; and at the proper moment inundated the screen with gallons and gallons of water. Thus, the water tore through the screen at the moment that the prop plane crashed into it — all in a water tank on the studio lot.

As the 2014 midterm elections heat up and the political world prepares for the presidential race soon after, there's been a vibrant discussion on the right about offering a positive conservative governing agenda.
In the latest edition of "Dialogue," I talk to Yuval Levin, one of the most influential policy thinkers on the right, about the movement that has become known as "reform conservatism." Levin, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and editor of National Affairs, recently helped put together the book "Room to Grow" for the YG Network, which offers a range of policy ideas.
Levin responds to skeptics of reform conservatism on both the left and right, distinguishes the intellectual movement from the brand of "compassionate conservatism" that defined George W. Bush's presidency, discusses a middle-class friendly tax policy, and delves into the challenge of crafting a market-oriented health care proposal in the post-Obamacare era.

There are all sorts of things that led up to the decision to replace Cameron with quarterbacks coach Jim Caldwell, but if I had to guess, I think it came down to what everybody saw on Sunday at Fed Ex Field.
The Redskins offense was imaginative and exciting and, in comparison, the Ravens – even on what started out to be a very good day for Joe Flacco and Ray Rice – ended up looking dull and indecisive by comparison.
The Redskins, even with an emergency quarterback, got receivers open in big situations and made big plays, most notably the touchdown pass and two-point conversion by Kirk Cousins that forced the game into overtime and cost the Ravens an AFC North title-clinching victory.
Redskins OC Kyle Shanahan outguessed the Ravens when it counted. Cameron's offense went three-and-out after winning the toss and getting the ball first in overtime. It certainly wasn't his fault that the Ravens had a rare special teams breakdown on the ensuing punt, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one wondering why he called a vanilla run on a second-and-long situation on that first overtime series to put Flacco in another pressure-packed third down situation.
Those are the times when the big-time quarterbacks in good systems pick apart tired defensive secondaries, but the Ravens offense that already had let the Redskins off the hook with two turnovers in the third quarter just went to sleep again at crunch time. Between the flashes of brilliance from Flacco, Rice and Torrey Smith were longer and longer periods of offensive incoherence and inconsistency.
The Ravens need a new guy to call the plays and put together the gameplan.
It's not all Cameron's fault, of course. John Harbaugh always talks about games in terms of team wins and team losses -- and he is right to do so – but the Ravens reached a point in the season when they had to decide if just making the playoffs for the fifth straight year (which they almost certainly will do) would be enough.
If they wanted to give themselves a chance to go deep into the postseason, they had to do something in a hurry. Who knows if Caldwell can put the wheels back on the offense, but somebody has to try.
Though it's hard to argue with Cameron's overall results, it definitely was time for a change.

Alumni relations director retires after 24 years of service By Ben Stewart news writer-The Signpost After almost a quarter of a century of service, Dick Davis is retiring as director of alumni relations from Weber State University. In the past 24 years, Davis has helped advance and better the university and the surrounding community with a quiet persistence that almost seems to go without recognition. Throughout the years, Davis has worn many different hats at WSU. With too many titles to name, he has helped Weber State University develop form a college to the university it is today. Davis was recruited in 1 975 to be inside post neWS. .... seepages 2 &3 students senator Kelsey Babcock and The Signpost campus affairs editor Julianne Hancock. One of the charges was later dropped while the other was changed to stalking. Shaw pleaded not guilty to the stalking charge at an arraignment hearing in the Weber County Justice Court Nov. 19, 1998. Shaw's trial was postponed when he accepted the diversion agreement Tuesday. This agreement, similar to a plea bargain, was presented to Judge Roger S. Dutson by Kent Winward, Shaw's attorney, and Rick iiiiii the program bureau director for Weber State College. With a bachelor's degree in speech and hearing, and a master's degree in communications, Davis put his musical and creative talents to work by beginning the musical group Good Company. "Good Company was a typical rock band that played contemporary music," Davis said. "We were a traveling assembly that played at 45 high schools a year. We were entertaining and spreading the name of Weber State." The band soon became popular and nationally known. Good Company was picked up by the United Service Organization and the band started playing for military personnel. editorial ..... see page 4 Westmoreland, the prosecuting attorney. The tentative agreement is pending Babcock's approval. If Babcock agrees, Shaw will not go to trial. Upon both parties' approval, Shaw must agree not to have contact with Babcock for a year. In addition, Shaw can not violate any laws within the year, excluding minor traffic violations. If Shaw fulfills the terms of the agreement, all charges will be dismissed and expunged from his record.

In 1 962, he recorded his first record with his band the3-D's. "We made our living doing that," Davis said. "It was a good way to make a living." The 3-D's went on to produce three records under the Capitol Records label, and performed at college concerts and even Vegas a few times. 3 & e see page 6 I H V ' lit jis V i M f ' John Shaw Office found for new dean of students By Deanne W. Chaston asst. news editor-The Signpost After the Student Affairs Space Planning Transition Team consulted more than 150 individuals, the 10-member committee decided on a home for the new dean of students this coming fall. Barbara Keller will use room 250G in the Shepherd Union Building as her office to consult with students in her capacities of dean of students. Members of the SPTT team, lead by Shepherd Union Director Michael Ellis, feel that the visible location of this office will be advantageous for students' comfort when making casual inquiries of the dean. "It is important for the dean of students to be close to where the students are," said Dean of Resource Management Toni Weight, also a member of the committee. "We feel the location is where students are prone to be." And where students are prone to be is in the SUB, she said. "The union building is the living room of the campus where students can go to associate with each other and relax," she said. But the location of the office hasn't brought a relaxing outcome for all. "I've written about 500 songs and play four different instruments," Davis said. "But I still have to fake my way through it sometimes." Along with his musical contributions, Davis has helped build a positive image for WSU in many different ways. As an adviser to the Student Alumni Ambassadors, he helped initiate the original "Take a Wildcat to Lunch" program. This program matches students with professionals in their related fields for a mentoring experience. "We made 1 30 matches last year, and some students have even been offered a job on the spot," Davis said. "I hope it keeps growing throughout the years." SpOftS see page 7 : " j - Kelsey Babcock The SPTT team wanted to decide on a location during its eight meetings "without creating a sense of alarm that numerous individuals and offices would need to be moved," according to a university report. But office allocation was changed to make room for the new dean. As a result, the CAB and the IMPACT Council will share room 240C together. But that change was designed to address some of the perceived division between student activities and the diversity center, the report said. The change was not made without consulting with various constituencies, including the student forum in the diversity center, comprised of approximately 75 students; WSUSA Executive Council; the student senate; the IMPACT Council; the Sheperd Union Advisory Board and five other organizations. "It was a diverse committee," Weight said. "Everyone's opinion was valuable but nobody got their own way." Some team members harbored concern over a couple of key issues after the decision was made. See Dean page 3 In addition to "Take a Wildcat to Lunch," Davis has began a number of WSU traditions. "One tradition I am very proud of is the Fishing Derby for physically challenged school children," Davis said. The program was going to be cut, Davis said, but he saw it as too important to let go.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has apparently asked USDA for a timeline on the announcement Tuesday about the BSE cow in California.
Good. CFTC is the regulator that would be charged with finding out who got wind of the upcoming announcement to get in front of the futures panic. We don't know if any laws were broken, but it's good the regulators are looking.
At the least, we should know how the leak happened. I would hope USDA has its own investigation underway. Again, the agency should make sure such leaks don't give insiders a chance to bilk the unwary.
