So I have the opportunity to take the AFAA Group Exercise Certification course locally and at a discounted price. I REALLY-REALLY want to sign-up and begin studying before the test in early June. This IS after all one of my 2012 goals! However I am scared to death!
I mean this is a serious chunk of cash (it doesn't grow on trees) to take a very serious test (which I've heard by many close friends is very seriously hard to pass) at which the possibility of succeeding or failing hangs in a very thin balance. That scares me to the core! Especially since I have the hardest time retaining crucial information these days!
However I do like to face a challenge head-on and even if I don't succeed I will have known that I tried my hardest and put forth my best. The only part that is bothering me, besides the thought of a practical exam (the shy girl in me is horrified by this), is the tight-wad in me who is afraid of being out a huge chunk of cash if I totally face-plant #fail!
And on the split side, I should not be a negative nellie and face my fears head-on!!!! —regardless of the consequences and costs!!! That is part of taking a risk for something that is positive and life changing. And goodness knows, I've already been schooled on "taking risks for change" during this journey.
I'm human. Full of emotion - yes + no's… fear + courage. And I had to just put it out in the open, to be expressive, to make myself feel better about making a big decision at taking the next step.
In the meantime, I've got a lot of thinking to do… if any of you already have this certification, please feel free to share any advice, tips and encouragement to help soothe my worries. I look forward to hearing it all.
xoxo! -FFG
On a separate note, here is today's workout:

I Love You To The Moon And Back Secret Message Wrap Ring - Twist Ring
Product Info
The aluminum wrap ring is hammered and stamped with a heart on the outside and "to the moon and back" on the inside. It measures 1/4" in width, length varies based on ring size. Would you like a different font? Look at the last photo for fonts available with this item.
Aluminum is a great metal for jewelry. It won't turn your skin green, doesn't oxidize or tarnish, and its water safe. Plus it's so lightweight, you might even forget you're wearing it!
I can make as many of these as you'd like, or something completely custom, just ask!
Each item is stamped by hand, one letter and number at a time, and is meant not to look perfect and machine made, so the letters might not be perfectly straight or centered. (This doesn't mean I don't try to center the wording and keep it straight, just that it's handmade, and a little crookedness adds character.)

Herbal combination of Shilajit,
Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera) and Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri)
are supplements that could help in protecting against brain degenerative
diseases and dementia like Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alzheimer's disease
and other forms of dementia have strong genetic connection. They run in
families. Anyone whose close blood relatives like parents, grand parents
or siblings has or had Alzheimer's disease is at an increasing risk of
developing these diseases themselves. This herbal combination could reduce
the risk as far as possible. Take this herbal combo and you could
be protecting yourself from brain degenerative diseases. This herbal combo
also has many wonderful health benefits right from boosting libido to anti
aging to anti cancer. If any of your near and dear ones are already afflicted
with Alzheimer's disease you can try this herbal combo for them too. It
is very beneficial in initial and mid- stages. This can be used as an adjuvant
therapy - in addition to the medicines prescribed by the doctor. Shilajit,
Ashwagandha and Brahmi could slow down the progression and decrease the
herbs have been used in Ayurvedic (traditional Indian system of medicine)
for hundreds of years. There ae thousands of research reports, laboratory
studies and patents on Shilajit, Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera)
and Brahmi (Bacopa Monnieri) which can be searched at scholar.google.com
of above three herbs show surprising results in enhancing memory and cognition.
are several research studies done by different group of neuro scientists
- in Germany, Australia and India which have confirmed that Shilajit, Brahmi
and Withania Somnifera can benefit AD patients.
well in advance this herbal combination drastically reduces the chances
of developing AD.
your loved one afflicted with AD is on prescription medicine try these
safe natural herbals. They can be taken safely along with any other medicines
as prescribed by the doctor. If any of your close blood relative
has or had Alzheimer's disease it will be a prudent decision for yourself
to take this herbal combination well in advance for protection. Currently
a few multi national pharmaceutical companies are studying the active ingredients
in Ashwagandha and Brahmi to isolate the molecules that help in amyloid
plaque reduction. While it may be several years from now to for the
final molecule to be marketed as a prescription drug the herbal extract
which is classified as a food product can be taken for the benefits.
recommend that this herbal combination of Shilajit, Brahmi and Ashwagandha
be taken by you if any of your blood relatives has Alzheimer's disease
and you are above the age of 30 years. This herbal combination could
reduce the chances of developing dementia. As you might be aware Alzheimer's
disease is genetic and it runs in families. The actual path to Alzheimer's
disease starts as early as 20 years before the clinical diagnosis. For
example some might be clinically diagnosed to be afflicted with AD at the
age of 65 years but the trigger and gradual brain degeneration might have
started right from the age of 45 years itself. Short term memory loss,
decrease in cognitive ability, inability to concentrate, dip in intelligence
level etc. might have started well in advance though with lesser intensity.
Please take the herbal combination. Order from us and we will have it
delivered within 10 days. The herbs of Shilajit, Brahmi and Ashwagandha
are like any other food products and are absolutely safe.

Following is the details
of the research done by Scientists
Schliebs R. Liebmann, and Volkr.
Paul Flechsig Institute Brain Res., Department of Neurochemistry,
University of Leipzig, D-04109 Leipzig, Germany. Paul
Flechsig Institute for Brain Research, Department of Neurochemistry, University

Systemic administration of Shilajit & Withania Somnifera enhances cognition
and memory in Alzheimer's patients
" Although some promising
results have been achieved by acetyl cholinesterase inhibitors, an effective
therapeutic intervention in Alzheimer's disease still remains an important
goal. Withania somnifera as well as SHILAJIT, a pale brown
to blackish brown exudation from steep rocks of the Himalayan mountain,
are used in Indian Ayurvedic medical system to alleviate cerebral functional
deficits including amnesia (memory loss) in geriatric patients. The present
investigation was conducted to assess whether the memory enhancing effects
of plant extracts from Withania somnifera and Shilajit are owing to neuro
chemical alterations of specific transmitter systems. Therefore, histochemistry
to analyze acetyl cholinesterase activity was performed in brain slices
from adult male Wistar rats. Alzheimer's disease induced rats were injected
intraperitoneally daily with Withaferin-A (prepared from Withania somnifera)
and with Shilajit at doses of 40 mg/kg of body weight for 7 days. Administration
of Withaferin and Shilajit led to reduced acetyl cholinesterase (AChE)
staining thereby increasing it's levels. Acetyl Cholinesterase is an important
neurotransmitter and it's levels are an important indicator of cognition
and memory. Lower levels indicate brain degeneration, dementia and AD.
data suggest that Shilajit and the defined extract from Withania somnifera
affect preferentially events in the cortical and basal forebrain cholinergic
signal transduction cascade. The increase in cortical muscarinic Acetylcholine
receptor capacity might partly explain the cognition enhancing and memory
improving effects of extracts from Withania somnifera and shilajit
observed in animals and humans.
Researchers at the National
Brain Research Center, (NBRC) a nodal center under Department of Biotechnology
of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India seem
to be close to success in finding some sort of cure to Alzheimer's disease.
Working on mice with Alzheimer's disease with extracts of Ashwagandha
� Withania Somnifera they reported promising results. National Brain
Research Center neuro scientists tested extracts of Ashwagandha (Withania
Somnifera) herb on two sets of test mice- one aged 10 months and the
other aged 24 months. These mice were genetically altered to induce Alzheimer's
disease. The mice were given oral extracts of Withania Somnifera for 30
days and monitored. Over the month the scientists
found a reduction in amyloid plaques in mice brains (amyloid
plaques in the brain are the major symptoms of Alzheimer's disease). The
also exhibited significant improvement in their cognitive abilities.
This study has been published in the proceedings of National Academy Of
sciences. Consistent results could make Ashwagandha
as a herb that offers a cure for Alzheimer's disease.

For thousands of years Ayurvedic
practitioners in India have used an aquatic plant known as Brahmi (Bacopa
monniera) to enhance intelligence and mental functioning. Now, Western
medicine is examining the herb�s potential to delay or treat dementia.
Brahmi shows therapeutic effects that may help treat various symptoms related
to Alzheimer's dementia, including loss of memory, capacity to learn, depression
and anxiety.
Research & trials at
University of Technology's Brain Sciences Institute (funded by Australian
Government) established scientific validity of Brahmi (Bacopa
monnieri ) for the prevention
and treatment of Alzheimer's and dementia. Swinburne�s Professor Dr.Con
Stough is the director of the NICM Collaborative Center for Natural Medicines
and Neurocognition, which is responsible for a range of trials to improve
the research behind alternative medicines. Other collaborators in the neurocognition
research are the University of Western Australia, Melbourne's Alfred Hospital
and CDR Australia. Two Brahmi trials have been done over 90 days
with double-blind, randomized control techniques using a special brahmi
extract. The results have shown improvements in working memory, particularly
spatial memory accuracy.
Source: Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacopa_monnieri).
Laboratory studies on rats indicate that extracts of the Brahmi plant improves
memory capacity. Recent studies suggest that Brahmi may improve intellectual
activity. The sulfhydryl and polyphenol components of Brahmi extract have
also been shown to impact the oxidative stress cascade by scavenging reactive
oxygen species, inhibiting lipoxygenase activity and reducing divalent
metals. This mechanism of action may explain the effect of Brahmi extract
in reducing beta amyloid deposits in mice with Alzheimer's disease. In
a study conducted on rats (J. Ethnopharmacol, 2009), a model was conducted
where Alzheimer's disease is induced to rats. The rats were afterwards
given Brahmi extract to determine its effects against Alzheimer's disease.
The test showed that rats given a dose of up to 80 mg/kg of Brahmi extract
had improved cognitive capability and mitigated the further reduction of
brain neurons. Brahmi could increase the quality of life of AD patients
to a very high degree though it remains to be seen if Brahmi could offer
a cure for Alzheimer's disease. Taken well in advance Brahmi might help
prevent/delay Alzheimer's disease.

The medical community has identified several goals for Crohn's disease (CD) treatment.
If you have just been diagnosed with Crohn's, the first priority is to relieve your
symptoms. Once this has been successfully achieved, the goal is to prevent further
flare-ups and improve your overall health-related quality of life.
Think about how Crohn's is affecting your life. Do you trust your gut? Can you still
do the things you love? If not, it may be time to consider making a change to your
Since Crohn's is a chronic condition, treatment is often lifelong. As a result,
many people find that they need to change treatment over time. One common reason
is that the medicine they are taking may not work well enough to control their Crohn's
symptoms. When this happens, your doctor may try to increase your dose before trying
another medication. Dose increases may be a signal that you are no longer responding
to a medication.
If this happens to you, talk to your doctor about your options for improving symptoms of your Crohn's disease. One of these options may be CIMZIA. CIMZIA is not a steroid. It is a biologic prescription treatment that is injected. Ask your doctor about the benefits and risks of starting CIMZIA.
Serious infections have happened in patients taking CIMZIA, including tuberculosis
(TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout
the body. Some patients have died from these infections. Please read
the CIMZIA Important Safety Information
for additional information on CIMZIA and discuss it with your doctor.
NEXT: FAQs About Crohn's Biologics Treatments
CIMZIA is used in adult patients to lessen the signs and symptoms of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) who have not been helped enough by usual treatments.

Question: Is there a voice or leader of Idiot America?>
Charles P. Pierce: The leaders of Idiot America are those people who abandoned their obligations to the above. There are lots of people making an awful lot of money selling their ideas and their wares to Idiot America. Idiot America is an act of collective will, a product of lassitude and sloth.
Question: With the election of President Obama, is Idiot America coming to an end? Or, will there always be a place for idiocy in America?
Charles P. Pierce: Look at the political opposition to President Obama. "Socialist!" "Fascist!" "Coming to get your guns." Hysteria from the hucksters of Idiot America is still at high-tide. People are killing other people and specifically attributing their action to imaginary oppression stoked by radio talk-show stars and television pundits. That Glenn Beck has achieved the prominence he has makes me wonder if there is a just god in heaven.<>
I think he is right and that we will see this continue as long as there remains money or power to be obtained from it.

Second race win quotes -
bluesq.com 'For Five Places In Stewards' Cup' Stakes (Listed)
Critical Moment gave the Barry Hills stable a second win at Glorious Goodwood this week and continued the fantastic form of horses owned by Prince Khalid Abdulla when winning the mile Listed race under trainer's son Michael Hills.
The Aptitude colt was in the vanguard throughout the 11-runner contest and showed an indefatigable attitude under Michael Hills to repel the late thrust of Desert Myth, determinedly ridden by champion jockey Ryan Moore.
Critical Moment, sent off at 7/2, held the runner-up by a head, with third-placed Field Of Dream a further three quarters of a length away.
Charlie Hills, assistant trainer to his father, said: "He had a good draw and the plan was always to go out and make it. The grey, Quarrel, just made him work for it early and that probably had an effect at the end.
"He has really improved and has got a very good cruising speed - they went quite quick early on. It looked like we were going to hold on in the last 50 yards and then the Ryan Moore surge came but he managed to hold on.
"We will look at the Strensall Stakes at York's Ebor meeting next month. We were not too sure of his trip early on. He ran in the Craven over seven furlongs and then we tried him at Chester in the Dee Stakes over a mile and a half. He didn't stay there and now we know he's a mile horse."
Sir Michael Stoute said he was pleased with runner-up Desert Myth, while Luca Cumani, trainer of third-placed Field Of Dream, said: "I'm very pleased. Now he's more settled he's shown we can step him up in distance. He's getting better with age."
Third race winner's quotes
Blue Square Nassau Stakes
Henry Cecil saddled his seventh winner of the £200,000 Blue Square Nassau Stakes today when Midday won consecutive runnings of the Group One contest.
She became the third dual winner of the Group One race and was yet another top-level success for owner-breeder Prince Khalid Abdulla. Jockey Tom Queally was celebrating his second victory in the race having ridden Midday in 2009, but on this occasion he picked up a two-day ban for careless riding after allowing the winner to drift off a straight line close home.
Cecil said: "They went no pace early on and when she hit the front she idled until the runner-up [Stacelita] came to her and then she raced again.
"It was more like a mile race. She's getting a little bit lazier and because there was no pace she had to quicken up a lot, which doesn't really suit her - she prefers to come gradually, and today she thought she'd done enough when she hit the front.
"I didn't want to make the running with her, but I wanted her to get the rail and the better ground, and instead she had to come a little bit wide. She's a very sensible filly, although you have to be a little careful what you do with her, and she likes a strong pace.
"She's stronger than last year, but she doesn't want the ground too fast because she's quite heavy shouldered and hasn't got the best joints. If it had been any firmer today she wouldn't have run - she pottered round for a few days after she won at the Breeders' Cup [last year] so I have to be careful with her.
Midday was beaten at York on her seasonal debut in the Middleton Stakes, but Cecil said: "She needed the race that day and was giving 6lb to the winner. She was sore after York, but hopefully we can have a clear run to the end of the season.
"We've had a few jarred up this year and the two-year-olds need time so we haven't had many runners yet this year.
"She's a very good filly and I'm pleased for the Prince because he deserves everything he gets. All being well she'll go for the [Darley] Yorkshire Oaks.
More third race news - the stewards' inquiry
Channel 4 broadcast live the first full stewards' inquiry to feature on British terrestrial television following the Blue Square Nassau Stakes.
The British Horseracing Authority and the media rights holders agreed that stewards inquiries could be broadcast live earlier this month.
Midday won the Group One race for the second year in succession but in the process she drifted left in the closing stages, despite jockey Tom Queally having his whip in his left hand, and interfered with runner-up Stacelita, partnered by Christophe Soumillon.
Here is the evidence givenby the two jockeys to the stewards:
Christophe Soumillon said: "When I arrived at the two-furlong marker, I was trying to get to the rail. I couldn't follow his (Tom's ) rhythm when he quickened - it took me a length and a half down.
"At that time, I have to take my chances and come out again and, when I took my filly out, I came really fast - I thought that I was going to win - and the filly (Midday) on my inside started to push out. She came quite fast on me and, when my filly felt the pressure coming, she was a bit unbalanced and it was 20 or 30 metres from the line. This is the only thing that I can tell you right now."
Tom Queally said: "In what was initially a slow-run race, I took a stalking role about four (furlongs) from home and I quickened it up little by little. I wanted to commit my filly in plenty of time and I saw Mr Soumillon was labouring.
"I had a quick look to my right to make sure that I was clear of him because my initial plan was to go to the rail for the best ground, so I was well over a length clear of him when I went to the right.
"Although both fillies shifted left late on, I think that it is fair to say that Mr Soumillon's filly went a little bit left to begin with and my one followed her, although my one did probably go a little bit to the left again. I had my stick in my left hand and I did everything in my power possible to keep her straight.
"As well as that, I was almost a length and a half clear right at the line and I won decisively."
The stewards found Queally guilty of careless riding but said the interference did not make a difference to the result. They suspended him for two days, August 14 & 15.
3 b f Oasis Dream - Midsummer (Kingmambo (USA))
Form: 0314-2123131-21 Owner: Khalid Abdulla Trainer: Henry Cecil
Breeder: Juddmonte Farms Ltd Jockey: Tom Queally
The home-bred Oasis Dream filly has progressed with racing and scored by six lengths from July Jasmine when winning the Listed Oaks Trial at Lingfield on May 9. That victory bettered the effort of her dam, Midsummer, who was runner-up in the 2003 renewal of that contest. Midsummer is herself a half-sister to Coral-Eclipse Stakes winner Elmaamul and the Cecil-trained 1997 Investec Oaks heroine Reams Of Verse. Midday bettered that effort when a head runner-up to Sariska in the Oaks at Epsom on June 5. The filly had shown promise on her career debut at Glorious Goodwood in July, 2008, staying on from the rear over seven furlongs to finish seventh behind Pachattack. She was beaten just over a length when third in a Newmarket maiden over the same trip the following month. Stepped up to a mile at Newmarket on September 19, she battled resolutely to prevail by a short-head from Three Moons. With a maiden triumph in the bag, Midday moved up to Listed company for the Montrose Fillies' Stakes on November 1, rounding off her campaign with a good fourth behind Group One Fillies' Mile fifth Enticement. Cecil sent Midday to Epsom Downs for her three-year-old bow in the Weatherbys Bank Blue Riband Trial Stakes over 10 furlongs of the Investec Oaks course on April 22. The filly showed that she had made progress through the winter in taking the runner-up berth behind subsequent Group Two winner Debussy. Midday's latest start came in the Irish Oaks at the Curragh when she was no match for the awesome Sariska in finishing seven and a half lengths third. She bounced back to top form at Goodwood in the 2009 Blue Square Nassau Stakes to win in good style from Rainbow View. She next ran in the Qatar Petroleum Prix de L'Opera in early October and led a furlong out before being caught well inside the final furlong and lost second close home. That set her up for a trip to Santa Anita Park, California, USA, for the Emirates Airline Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf the following month and she won most gamely by a length from Pure Clan. She started this season in the Group Two totesport.com Middleton Stakes at York on May 13 when she stayed on to be second behind Sariska. She won her second Blue Square Nassau Stakes at Goodwood today, surviving a stewards' inquiry, after finishing a length and a quarter ahead of Stacelita.

Khalid Abdulla
Prince Khalid Abdulla, who prefers to be known just as Mr Abdulla on the racecard, is a first cousin to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. He owns extensive racing and breeding interests in America, Britain and Ireland. A businessman presiding over a huge international conglomerate known as "Mawared", he developed a love for British racing during the 1960s when renting a house in London and, with the help of former trainer Humphrey Cottrill, had his first winner on May 14, 1979, when Charming Native scored at Windsor. Born in Taif, Saudi Arabia, in 1937, Abdulla has been one of the most successful owner-breeders in Europe in the past four decades and is the only current owner to have owned and bred the winners of all five British Classics - his winners being Investec Derby (1990 Quest For Fame, 1993 Commander In Chief), Investec Oaks (1997 Reams Of Verse), 2000 Guineas (1980 Known Fact, 1986 Dancing Brave, 1993 Zafonic), 1000 Guineas (1999 Wince) and Ladbrokes St Leger (1991 Toulon). He has won most of the other major European races such as the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe with Rainbow Quest (1985), Rail Link (2006) and the legendary Dancing Brave (1986), who was an unlucky loser in the Derby. Abdulla also races with great success in France and the United States, where under the Juddmonte Farms banner he won a first Triple Crown race in 2003 with Empire Maker in the Belmont Stakes. In 2003 his greatest successes in Europe came with star sprinter Oasis Dream, winner of the July Cup at Newmarket and Nunthorpe Stakes at York and French Oaks heroine Nebraska Tornado, while American Post was triumphant in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere (Grand Criterium) at Longchamp and the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster, helping Abdulla to become champion owner in both Britain and France, while he also finished third in the USA owners' championship that year. American Post went on to Classic success in the French 2,000 Guineas in 2004 and Polish Summer triumphed in the Dubai Sheema Classic the same year, while Intercontinental gave Abdulla a second Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf in 2005, following full-sister Banks Hill three years earlier. Abdulla's French-trained horses again led the way in 2006, with Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner Rail Link proving the highlight. In 2007, Juddmonte Farms bred 27 individual Group/Stakes winners of 33 races, including Zambezi Sun, who wore the famous Abdulla colours to victory in the Group One Grand Prix de Paris, while in 2008 Promising Lead took the Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh, Proportional won the Prix Marcel Boussac and African Rose took the Ladbrokes Sprint Cup. Midday, winner of the Group One Nassau Stakes at Goodwood and runner-up in the Oaks, added victory in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf last season, while Twice Over captured the Emirates Airlines Champion Stakes. Special Duty was crowned champion two-year-old filly after her scintillating win in the Group One Electrolux Cheveley Park Stakes at Newmarket while Spanish Moon was a Group One winner in France. Abdulla is an honorary Jockey Club member and his daughter was married to the late Prince Fahd Salman, owner of 1991 Derby victor Generous. He has enjoyed a magnificent 2010 so far, with Workforce capturing the Investec Derby at Epsom Downs, Special Duty gaining two Classics, Twice Over winning the Coral-Eclipse and Byword winning the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Royal Ascot plus Proviso taking two Grade Ones in America A second Blue Square Nassau Stakes was gained by Midday today. Previous Blue Square Nassau Stakes winners: 2010 Midday; 2009 Midday, 1997 Ryafan S19.
Henry Cecil
Born in Aberdeen on January 11, 1943, Henry Cecil has achieved just about everything he could have dreamed of in a training career spanning almost 40 years. If Classic success is a measure of achievement on the Flat, the 10-time champion trainer is second to none among current trainers having won every domestic Classic at least twice and amassed a total of 23 in all. The Lord Howard de Walden-owned Slip Anchor, partnered by Steve Cauthen, brought Cecil the first of his four Derby triumphs in 1985 with an emphatic victory. Reference Point, also ridden by Cauthen, won the 1987 Investec Derby holding off the challenge of Most Welcome while Commander In Chief, Cecil's supposedly second string behind Tenby in the 1993 Investec Derby, and Oath in 1999 - partnered by Cecil's then stable jockey Kieren Fallon - provided his third and fourth successes. Cecil has also landed the Oaks eight times, the 2000 Guineas twice, the 1000 Guineas six times and the St Leger on four occasions. Having sent out 100 winners during the 1998 season, Cecil's yearly tally dropped every year until 2006, when his 25 victories included Passage Of Time's Group One success in the Criterium de Saint Cloud - the stable's first Group One success since Beat Hollow in the 2000 Grand Prix de Paris. His passion for the turf was nurtured by his stepfather, Sir Cecil Boyd-Rochfort, with whom a young Cecil served as assistant trainer between 1964 and 1968, before taking out his own licence to train in 1969. It was not long before he staked his claim among the ranks of the leading trainers with a victory by Wolver Hollow in the Eclipse Stakes of that year. On the retirement of Sir Noel Murless, father of his first wife Julie, in 1976, Cecil took over Warren Place Stables in Newmarket where he has remained. He won the Oaks for the eighth time in 2007 with Light Shift and has 126 horses in training in 2010. He almost captured a ninth Oaks in 2009 when Midday only found Sariska too good while the same filly went on to claim the Group One Nassau Stakes at Goodwood and also gave Cecil a first success at the Breeders' Cup when taking the Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita. His other significant success in 2009 was provided by Twice Over, who landed the Group One Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket. Cecil has made a bright start to the 2010 campaign and had the first horse past the post in the StanJames.com 1000 Guineas, Jacqueline Quest, although she was demoted for causing interference to the runner-up Special Duty. He has now won the Blue Square Nassau Stakes seven times, thank's to Midday's game performance today. Midday became the third dual winner of the Blue Square Nassau Stakes and saddled Roussalka to be the first dual winner of the race. Blue Square Nassau Stakes Wins: 2010 Midday; 2009 Midday; 1993 Lyphard's Delta, 1987 Nom De Plume, 1979 Connaught Bridge, 1976 & 1975 Roussalka
Tom Queally
Tom Queally has come a long way since riding his first winner aboard the John Roche-trained Larifaari at Clonmel on April 13, 2000. Born on October 8, 1984, he was only 15 when enjoying that first success and was crowned Ireland's champion apprentice the same season. From Dungarvan in County Waterford, where his father Declan combines farming with a small training operation, Tom was out hunting on his pony by the age of seven. After a spell showjumping, he was a leading figure on the pony racing circuit by the age of 13 and was apprenticed to trainer Pat Flynn two years later. But that apprenticeship was terminated when Queally's parents insisted he finish his leaving certificate at school. At the end of a quiet 2002 season, when he was apprenticed to his father, he moved to Aidan O'Brien at Ballydoyle, winning the following year's Group Three Ballysax Stakes on Balestrini. With the help of Barney Curley, he switched to Britain in 2004 and joined David Loder's Newmarket stable, winning the British apprentices' championship that year. He won the 2008 Group Three Princess Elizabeth Stakes at Epsom aboard Lady Gloria and is now attached to Henry Cecil's Warren Place stable. Since his move to Cecil's yard, he has recorded significant victories on Midday, who finished runner-up in the 2009 Investec Oaks before going on to claim the Group One Nassau Stakes at Goodwood and the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita. Last season he also won the Emirates Airline Champion Stakes at Newmarket on Twice Over and two Group One sprints, partnering the Michael Bell-trained Art Connoisseur in the Golden Jubilee Stakes at Royal Ascot and Fleeting Spirit, trained by Jeremy Noseda, in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket. Queally was narrowly denied a first Classic victory in this year's StanJames.com 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on May 2, when he passed the post first on board the Henry Cecil-trained 66/1 chance Jacqueline Quest, only to be demoted to second by the stewards for causing interference to Special Duty. He rode Twice Over to victory in the Group One Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Park earlier this month. He gained his second successive Blue Square Nassau Stakes on Midday today, but received a two-day ban for careless riding. Blue Square Nassau Stakes Wins: 2010 Midday; 2009 Midday
Third race place quotes -
Blue Square Nassau Stakes (Group One)
Stacelita ran well to be second to Midday in the Blue Square Nassau Stakes, with the star French filly going down by a length and a quarter in the Group One contest after at one point looking the likely winner before suffering interference from the winner close home.
Trainer Jean-Claude Rouget's charge, who was sent off at 9/2, could meet her rival again before the season ends, with the Grade One Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Churchill Downs in November earmarked as her probable end of season target.
Rouget said of last season's runaway Prix de Diane heroine: "I am not disappointed with that - it is obviously disappointing when you don't win but not when you are beaten by a better horse. We are in a sport, after all.
"She is back to her best form. We started late to protect her for a summer and autumn campaign with the aim of the Breeders' Cup Filly And Mare Turf.
"I like to give her four weeks between races so we will have to consider whether she goes to Deauville for the Prix Jean Romanet. There are two or three races she could go for during the rest of the season - it depends on her form - and we will also look at the Prix de l'Opera on Arc day at Longchamp."
Saeed bin Suroor said of third-placed Antara (8/1): "She ran a big race, she is a very solid filly and always tries very hard.
"She always shows her class in the morning and the way she runs, she always looks a very good filly.
"There was a moment in the race when I thought she might close on the winner but she was just beaten by better fillies.
"We will keep her at the same distance but there are no plans at the moment - we will find a nice race for her."
Fourth race win quotes -
bluesq.com Stewards' Cup
Even And Odds stormed to a neck victory in the Bluesq.com Stewards' Cup under 5lb claimer Billy Cray to give "sprint king" Dandy Nicholls a third victory in the six-furlong heritage handicap.
Nicholls, who partnered Soba to victory as a rider in (1982), sent out Tayseer (2000) and Gift Horse (2005) to triumph was delighted with the Dab Hand Racing-owned 20/1 shot.
The North Yorkshire trainer said: "I am very pleased for Billy - every day he works hard. I am not so sure that there are many plans with a horse rated what he is. He has to go for the Ayr Gold Cup now and I am sure that he will acquit himself well.
"I have never had any doubts about Billy but he's not as good as I was!
"Dab Hand Racing claimed The Tatling off me and sent him to Milton Bradley and they won a Group One race, so there you go, and Regal Parade is another lovely horse for them.
"Evens And Odds weaves, worries and wanders but Kevin Ryan thought he would win the Dewhurst with him as a two-year-old."
Cray has been with Nicholls since the start of the season. The apprentice decided to try his luck as a jockey after watching the sport on TV and joined the British Racing School in Newmarket aged 16 despite having never sat on a horse. An initial spell with Dominic Ffrench Davis was followed by six months with Alan Berry.
Cray, who was partnering his 41st career winner, said: "Dominic got me going and it was him who advised me to move to a bigger yard.
"I didn't ever think about us winning, I just kept riding. I knew mine would stay further so I just kept going and hoped I'd get him (Jonny Mudball).
"The plan was to follow Prime Exhibit, who is in the same colours, and take it up there earlier. This lad gets a bit further so I just tried to miss a couple of lengths early on.
"Its brilliant to win this race. It's the biggest win of my career by a long way and it's good to ride for Dandy because he gets all of the sprinters up there and they always run well at the big meetings."
Fourth race placed quotes
Bluesq.com Stewards' Cup
Premiership footballer Jonathan Woodgate was at Glorious Goodwood today rejoicing in a cracking effort by his horse, Jonny Mudball, in the Bluesq.com Stewards' Cup.
One runner often gets away from the field only to be reeled in on the line in sprint handicaps, and that was Jonny Mudball's fate as he went down by a neck to Evens And Odds. The runner-up, who is trained in Cheshire by Tom Dascombe, beat the third horse, Prohibit, by a length and a quarter.
Woodgate, who was nicknamed Jonny Mudball by friends in his home town of Middlesborough, said: "I'm over the moon and Tom's done a great job with him. The horse suffered an injury and didn't run as a two-year-old, but Tom was patient and it's come right. My whole family are really pleased.
"This is something different, and when your horse runs as well as this you're so pleased. I've got two horses with Tom and one with Chris Grant - you never know, one day I may increase the string but I'm happy with what I've got."
Dascombe was pleased, but the 9lb rise in his horse's handicap mark may have cost him victory. Dascombe said: "It killed him. Off 97 or 99 he would have been alright, and the irritating thing is he'll go up again for finishing second, but he's run a great race and the owner is happy. Our other horse, Noverre To Go, has run a blinder too [finishing fifth], although the ground has probably gone against him because he needs it very fast.
"I just wonder whether handicaps are going to be too tough for him [Jonny Mudball] now, and it may sound stupid but we may have to think about Listed races."
The Robert Cowell-trained Prohibit finished third, and assistant trainer Greg Chung said: "We're thrilled to bits. The horse has done nothing wrong all year yet has won just one race at Kempton. He's travelled supremely well in the race once again and keeps knocking at the door - he deserves to win one.
"We chose draw 12 because it was the highest of the draws that were left, and ideally we would have been a little higher, but the winner's come from the middle so no complaints and Eddie [Ahern] gave him a fine ride.
"The horse has been relatively busy up to now so I wouldn't be surprised if Robert sits back and has a little think before planning his next run."
Fifth race placed quotes
Mobile Betting At iphone.bluesq.com EBF Maiden
Sir Alex Ferguson and joint-owner Sotirios Hassiakos were on the runaway Richard Hannon bandwagon today when their Pausanias won on his racecourse debut.
Pausanias became winner number eight of the week for Hannon and stable jockey Richard Hughes, and their sixth success with a juvenile. He came into the race backed by a welter of interest, partly because he had worked nicely at Hannon's press day recently, and also because his joint-owner is manager of Manchester United.
Hannon said: "It isn't the easiest track in the world to introduce a big, young horse, but Richard [his son] and I were both keen to run so we let him take his chance. He should stay a mile in time, but we started him off in this contest over seven furlongs in part because we had other horses in the two-year-old races earlier this week.
"He's a big horse but he has a lot of speed. He'll have a month off now and we'll think about something later this season."
Sir Alex was not at Goodwood, but Hassiakos said: "I'm very pleased and happy for Richard, who is having such a wonderful season. I have horses in partnership with Sir Alex, but this is the first we have had with Richard.
"He is named after a Greek historian who lived in 400 BC, and I wanted to give him a bit of fame."
Hughes said: "He's a smashing horse and I knew he had an engine from riding him work, but when you look at him in the paddock you'd think he can't win because he's so big. He's still weak, and I didn't think we'd get away with running him here with all the undulations, but he trapped beautifully and I gave him one tap and he did it so well. He's very talented and, although we didn't mind if he was beaten, it's great to win."
Captain Bertie and Michael Hills threw down the gauntlet to the winner but went down by a neck.
Charlie Hills, assistant trainer to his father, Barry, said: "He ran a very good race and the winner had the rail, which is a big advantage, but he is probably very good. He has done nothing wrong and we will look to find another maiden for him."
Sixth race win quotes -
Playpoker At gcasino.com Nursery
Richard Hughes and Richard Hannon completed a sensational week at Glorious Goodwood with a ninth victory together in the Playpoker At gcasino.com Nursery, a victory that saw both jockey and trainer set new records for the number of wins at the meeting.
Hughes' nine victories took the RUK Leading Rider Awards, eclipsing the previous record of eight wins at the meeting set by Lester Piggott in 1962 and subsequently equalled by Kieren Fallon (1998) and Johnny Murtagh (2008).
Hannon's total smashes by three the previous leading tally by a trainer at Glorious Goodwood, Sir Michael Stoute having set the mark at six in 1989.
Hughes came with his customary last-gasp effort to clinch victory in the final strides aboard Eucharist.
The Julie Wood-owned filly, sent off the 100/30 favourite, defeated runner-up Majestic Myles by a neck.
Hannon said: "We've had good weeks at Royal Ascot and Newmarket's July Meeting and now at Goodwood. We've got plenty more coming. I've never had a week like this, certainly not at Goodwood.
"Hughesie is just riding out of his skin. He gave me another heart attack there but things usually come right.
"He spends plenty of time on the bench too. He lost a fortnight this year and but for those suspensions he'd be right there.
"It was my idea he took a week off. I said to him if he got more bans they would add up and he might miss days at Goodwood."
Hughes, who was dashing off to ride at Lingfield, said: "It's unbelievable and it's all thanks to the lads in the Hannon yard who make it all possible for me.
"The filly just got a bad run but Jimmy Quinn looked after me. I bounced off him but she came and won it nicely. It's easy when you're on a steering job like that.
"It's been a pleasure. Goodwood has been absolutely fantastic."
Seventh race winner's quotes
Bluesq.com Supporting Marie Curie Apprentice Handicap
Elliptical's victory in the apprentices' handicap, the final race of the year at Glorious Goodwood, put trainer Gerard Butler and jockey John Fahy on the meeting's scoresheet.
Acknowledging Richard Hannon's phenomenal week, Butler said: "Thank God Richard didn't have a runner in the race!"
He added: "He ran so poorly at York earlier this year that I gave him a nice break, and he ran much better at Kempton recently over a mile and a quarter. This trip [nine furlongs] is on the short side for him now, but they went a good early gallop which they normally do in this race. We've won it in the past with a horse that stayed a mile and a half. We've had this race on the radar for quite a while."
Butler was clearly delighted to get another Glorious Goodwood victory alongside his name, and said: "It's great to have a winner because it's such a tough, tough week. More people leave without a winner than those who achieve one, and this has been Richard Hannon's meeting which meant there was even less to go round."
Fahy said: "It's great because the trainer told me to ride him how I wanted, and although he jumped out the stalls quite awkwardly he picked up and outstayed them."

An independent review panel from Fox Valley Technical College came to the conclusion Wednesday that Outagamie County officials followed protocols properly during a large storm on August 7. The panel was asked to review the county's response after controversy arose over the way the county handled the storm which had multiple tornadoes and caused more than $30-million of damage in Outagamie County alone.
The early morning storm on August 7th was almost a once in a lifetime event.
"The whole thing went through the county in 25 minutes or less," says Dr. Patricia Robinson, Executive Dean of Public Safety at Fox Valley Technical College. "So, I think speed of the storm was simply extraordinary, middle of the night, therefore people weren't out and about seeing damage, seeing the degree of the winds and so forth."
Those factors, coupled with a lack of National Weather Service issued tornado warnings, the independent review panel from Fox Valley Tech asked to review Outagamie County's response to the storm, believes county officials followed protocol.
"Under the situation with the existing policies and existing infrastructure I think it was handled as well as it could have been. It simply was a very unusual event, very difficult to do much more than was done in the short timeframe that people had to act," said Dr. Robinson.
But there will be changes the next time a storm hits Outagamie County. The review panel issued six recommendations ranging from having a clearer set of criteria for when the outdoor warning system, or tornado sirens are used, to providing more public education on storm preparedness. Outagamie County's Emergency Management director is anxious to adopt the recommendations.
Julie Loeffelholz says, "We have a lot of good ideas that have come from the report and some suggestions on how we can increase our ability to protect the public."
The new policies will be implemented immediately.

Activate MindJet MindManager 7.2.374
Need some help with how to activate MindManager 7.2.374.
The activation process has been completely changed in this new version, and after installation you are not able to activate the program automatically.
I would like to run the original MindManager Pro7admin.msi together with an custom.mst file including license key and activation info. The program should be installed silently, without any interference at installation and at startup. This means the activation also must be done at startup.
Three options for activation, 1. Internet, 2. Manual or 3. E-mail..
Using the manual activation option, browsing to.bin file, users still get the activation question at startup.
Ref. Support Technician Mindjet, you can't activate it automatically. After roll-out the software have to be activated once manually. And every single machine has to be activated separately because the activation is depending to the hardware.
Any ideas on how to get around this?
I'm not able to have all my users activate the program by themselves, and I must find a solution.
Than'x in advanced!
Download adminsetup; (http://www1.mindjet.de/downloads/mm70/MindManager 7.2.374 Pro Admin EN.zip )
Silent installation;
Msiexec /i MindManagerPro7Admin.msi / LICENSEKEY=â€Âxxxxx……â€Â
"SlpLicenseKey"="xxxxxxxx….. "
so that the conversation will remain readable.
No problem open up the permissions on file or registry keys involved. Problem is company policy; deploy all software silently, and also with now interactions taken by users at startup, other than starting shortcut..
I know this can be problematic sometimes, but in this company we have managed for all other programs.
I have used Wise Package studio, hardware scan on. Maybe other repacking tool can give better results.??
I agree it isnt possible to always package an application silenty, a good example is a per machine registration that uses unique machine codes to activate the product, this code is generated by things like the local machine time, type, memory etc etc.
The customer rep that said there was no other way must have been confused or just utterly lost :). To deploy MindJet MM to an enterprise, you need to ask them to provide you a enterprise license file (*.bin) that will not have the hardware-bind limitation that the standard bin file comes with. You'll receive an email with the file and instructions (basically..rename file to so-and-so and copy it to your application folder). Create an MST and drop that renamed file into the application folder and you're done.
Good luck!
I was a bit fast with my assumption that there is no solution for enterprise customers. Talked to the customer rep this morning and they are going to apply for a residential key on our behalf. This key will work the way you just explained, jcarri06

Track: Lopez sparks Mustangs to solid start
LUBBOCK —The effort of freshman Ana Lopez sparked a solid season-opening performance for Midwestern State Saturday at the Texas Tech Open.
The Hereford native enjoyed a strong start to the spring campaign by clocking a 5:29.17 to take a 10th-place finish in the mile.
Juniors Ashley Flores and Janel Campbell gave MSU a pair of solid performances. Flores battled with two Texas Tech runners in the 1,000 meters before settling for third with a 3:01.60 in a tightly packed race behind TTU's Caitlin Waters (2:59.55) and McKenzie Archer (3:01.46).
Campbell stuck with the leaders in the 3,000-meter run before settling for a third-place showing with a time of 10:50.50.
Midwestern placed three others in the 1,000-meter run including freshman Maira Salinas (3:21.38/16th), sophomore Cara Mack (3:25.06/18th) and freshman Katy Kipp (3:35.80/20th).
Abigail Gonzalez of Graham (11:28.62/10th), Brittany Adams (11:28.72/11th) Mackinsey Flores (12:17.62/13th) and Carrie Finson (12:49.37/15th) enjoyed strong showings in the 3,000.
Freshman Darianna Walker of Burkburnett placed 20th in the 200 (27.11) and was 16th in the 400 (1:02.85).
The Mustangs compete in the J.D. Martin Indoor Meet Saturday at the University of Oklahoma.
Brooks has strong start to spring
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. —Rider senior Taliyah Brooks is busy leading Rider's ranked basketball program, but she is also preparing for track mode.
Brooks, competing for Furosity Track Club, won the 60-meter hurdles and placed second in the high jump Saturday at the Arkansas High School Invitational.
Brooks beat out 48 other participants in the hurdles, winning the finals with a time of 8.87 seconds.
In the high jump, Brooks tied Alexis Harmon-Thomas with a 5-6 but settled on silver because of misses.

(BINGHAMTON, NY) -- Roger Chamberlain may have thought he gave police the slip when he switched motels. But when authorities found the man slathered head-to-toe in petroleum jelly, they knew they had their man.
Authorities said a Motel 6 cleaning crew discovered a petroleum jelly mess on mattresses, bedding, a TV set, furniture, carpeting and towels in Chamberlain's room after he checked out last week. Damage was put at more than $1,000.
Fourteen empty petroleum jelly jars and numerous pornographic magazines were fished out of the trash can, according to WNBF radio in Binghamton.
Shortly afterward, a sheriff's deputy tracked down Chamberlain to a nearby motel, finding the 44-year-old Virginia man entirely covered in the greasy ointment, authorities said.
Chamberlain was charged with criminal mischief May 9, and was released on his own recognizance. An attempt to reach Chamberlain by telephone Monday was not immediately successful.

Suddenly you heard the front door of the house open. Slenderman stepped out onto the porch, looking for the source of all the noise. He saw you and quickly teleported out to you, scooping you up in his arms and carrying you inside the house. He wrapped you in a blanket and placed you gently on the sofa.
"We don't have much time..." He said.
"You're kidding me..." Masky muttered.
You looked up at Slenderman. "You... can find him?"
We leave in the morning."
"Its too bad my agents couldn't retrieve the girl... She would have been fun to kill.... Don't worry though... they will get her..." He let out a sinister laugh. I lunged at him from behind the bars, making him flinch and take a few steps back.

Cheyenne Full Size Roping Dummy
RopeSteer - Our roping dummies are engineered to be roping tools that will improve your skills and aid in the development of proper form that forces you to rope correctly. Muscle memory -"When a movement is repeated over time, a long-term muscle memory is created for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed without conscious effort"
March, 2014
"Hi,I purchased a Cheyenne roping dummy from you around 6 months ago. I just wanted to tell you how much I have enjoyed it. It is simple, light weight, and really does a good job for horse training as well as practicing! I am a header and I bought it just to keep my horses in shape and working right, but since I have purchased it I have become a lot more consistent on the heel side! Even though the legs are stationary you have to rope it right to catch. I just wanted to let you know I appreciate y'all making an affordable product that really works. I recommend it to all my roping buddies, and I will continue to! Thank you for showing your support for Christian values by placing scripture at the bottom of your web page.Thank you,Justin M. of Texas"
Head or Heel New Team Roping Dummy Head or Heel RopeSteer Team Roping Dummy Head or Heel Best Team Roping Dummy
If you are going to practice from the ground, use our ground dummy "Vegas" or "Pendleton"
If you plan to practice from a horse or elevated surface, use our full-size roping dummy "Cheyenne".
Just like an NBA player practices a free throw(using an official ball on a regulation court from a specific spot) With practice all he needs to do is get in the right spot and his muscle memory will do the rest. You, as a Team Roper, need to practice your swing on a Roping Dummy with the correct height of horns and legs. (other dummies either have incorrect height of horns or legs and sometimes both)
Memory muscle is important!
Monday-Thursday 8am to 4pm
Friday 8am to 12pm

The 'Push The Sky Away' artwork is incredible. It makes me think of early Leonard Cohen record covers.
I intend to shift the focus of this Blog in the coming future as a means of exploring my own human experience. I would like to do this by documenting how I perceive living and the day to day. I hope to no longer post simply images that some how pertain to me but rather me interacting with said subject matter, as a way of removing the mental walls I have set up for myself and letting people in…
This evening I am going to see Converge, which I'm looking forward to doing.
Royal Imperial Palace Mixtape One
For your consideration, the first in what we hope of many Royal Imperial Palace mixtapes. Full of new and old songs alike that are currently stealing our attention and fueling our obsession.

The US' latest happening spot
Spark a holiday romance
The Black Swan, Helmsley.
Best for... historic lovers
Where: The Black Swan, Helmsley
Feeling every inch like the setting for a Miss Marple novel, this sophisticated yet homely boutique hotel is perfect for a romantic couple who like the finer things in life - but never go on holiday without taking their hiking boots and a camera.
Timeless and elegant, this architectural gem - with its open fireplaces, sumptuous sofas and soft lighting - stares out on the astonishingly pretty North Yorkshire market town of Helmsley, with the ruins of 12th century Helmsley Castle and the town's Walled Gardens begging for exploration.
It's also home to one of the country's finest tea rooms, which does a brisk trade in exquisite afternoon teas during the day. Meanwhile, the 2 AA Rosette Rutland Restaurant has developed an enviable reputation.
:: Doubles start at £253 per night on Saturday February 12, including dinner, bed and breakfast. If you can get away on February 13 or 14, make use of the Come in from the Cold offer, where doubles start at £140 per night DBB.
Best for... making an impression
Where: Coworth Park, Surrey
If you're planning to pop the question, or simply want to spoil your better half rotten, make a beeline for the Dorchester Collection's latest opening, set in aristocratic Ascot.
Already a hit with the country-loving jet set, this boutique bolt-hole has its own stables and a polo centre. If galloping across the 240-acre estate doesn't appeal, take a dip in the eco-spa pool, where music is pumped through underwater speakers, or enrol in a floristry class and learn how to create your own bouquet.
Choose between two restaurants for dinner: The Barn offers dressed-down bistro dishes, while Restaurant John Campbell is the fine dining option. Both score high in the style stakes.
As for romantic spots, there are plenty to choose from: enjoy a cocktail under the dazzling 'Love' light installation in the mansion house bar; go searching for deer in the surrounding woodland; or just relax in your private roll top bath with a glass of champagne and toast your temporary five-star status.
:: Packages start at £690 plus VAT per room for a two-night stay with dinner in The Barn on both nights and chocolate, champagne and flowers on arrival. For more information, visit www.coworthpark.com.
Best for... wining and dining
Where: Chester Grosvenor, Chester
There are plenty of ways to woo a loved one, but food and drink are always a good bet. If you're looking for somewhere to take a special dinner date, try the Chester Grosvenor.
Owned by the Duke of Westminster, and built in 1865, this five-star hotel treats all its guests like royalty.
After a relaxing night's sleep and breakfast in La Brasserie, go for a romantic stroll around the city's Roman walls - some of the best in Britain - and along the River Dee. The cathedral, with its beautiful wood carvings, is worth exploring, as well as the city's maze of cobbled streets.
When you've had your fill of shopping in Chester's famous two-tier boutique Tudor shops, head to the Grosvenor's thermal suite and soak your tired feet in the foot spa or go for an Elemis massage.
Round off your stay with a meal in Michelin-starred restaurant Simon Radley or the more casual - but equally outstanding - La Brasserie.
:: An overnight stay on February 14 with a selection of Valentine's treats starts at £299 per room. For more information, visit www.chestergrosvenor.com.
Best for... romantic walks
Where: Wyck Hill House, Cotswolds
For a relaxed and easy romantic getaway, this country manor in the Cotswolds ticks all the right boxes. Although within easy reach of public transport - the nearest rail station is Moreton-in-Marsh - it still feel a thousand miles from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
The hotel dates back to the 1700s, and sits in 100 acres of rolling hills and fields.
The area is popular with walkers and cyclists and there are a number of routes to explore.
Alternatively, spend a few hours browsing the antique shops in Moreton-in-Marsh, working up an appetite for cream tea at the award-winning Marshmallow Restaurant and Tea Room. The home-made scones are delicious!
If that sounds too strenuous, relax on the hotel's terrace and admire the views before dinner. The food here is excellent and the staff incredibly welcoming. In fact, there's enough to keep you happy all weekend without having to leave the hotel grounds.
:: A two-night Valentine's Break (booked between February 11-14) starts at £195 per person including dinner, bed and breakfast. Book through www.bespokehotels.com.
Best for... amour abroad
Where: Hotel Notre Dame, Paris
It may be something of a cliche, but there are endless opportunities for romance in Europe's leading city of love.
Classic couples can zip to the top of the Eiffel Tower and admire the Parisian skyline or exchange sweet nothings on the cobbled streets of Montmartre.
Creative types, meanwhile, should visit the Wall of Love in Place des Abbesses, which features declarations of love in more than 300 languages, or take a ride on the fairytale, Tim Burton-esque, Le Manege Carre Senart merry-go-round at art centre Centquartre (www.104.fr).
For an intimate and relatively inexpensive break, book a room at the three-star Hotel Notre Dame overlooking the famous cathedral.
Sandwiched between souvenir shops, it's easy to miss. But once inside, a narrow, brightly-carpeted stairwell leads to a kaleidoscope of rooms created by fashion designer Christian Lacroix.
There's no restaurant at the hotel, but for good, well-priced dining options try brasserie Aux Lyonnais or fish restaurant Rech. Both are owned by multi-Michelin-starred chef Alain Ducasse (visit www.esprit-bistrot.com).
:: The hotel still has availability for February 13 and 14. Doubles from £145, excluding breakfast. Book through www.mrandmrssmith.com. Eurostar operates up to 18 daily services from London St Pancras International to Paris with return fares from £69. Visit www.eurostar.com or call 08432 186 186.
Best for... intellectual love
Where: The Varsity, Cambridge
Previous tenants of this university city may have discovered gravity and split the atom, but they never quite cracked the boutique hotel - until now.
Much like the city itself, this 48-room hotel is elegant, aspirational and beautifully executed. Discretely tucked away in the centre, it is ideally located for a weekend of romantic walks around the colleges and whimsical punting excursions.
Every room takes full advantage of the magnificent Cambridge skyline, with the top-end suites glassed from floor to ceiling. But while the views might be medieval, the hotel itself is utterly modern and luxurious, providing a thoroughly decadent urban retreat.
Styled by young British designers, The Varsity's rooms are enticingly furnished, with reclaimed teak pieces from Indonesia, richly textured sofas and chairs covered in Welsh fabric, with hints of retro British cool in the form of cool ornaments.
And just to keep the spirit of Cambridge alive, each of the rooms is themed by college: the Somerville room, one of the first women's colleges, has a photo of a lady in bluestockings, and the Homerton room a picture of a couple dancing in front of Latin American-style tenement buildings (former student Julie Covington scored an international number one with the song Don't Cry for Me Argentina).
:: The hotel still has availability for February 11-14. Bespoke Valentine's packages, which can include breakfast in bed with Buck's Fizz £7 and an in-room sharing platter, £30, start from £160 for a two-night stay. Visit www.thevarsityhotel.co.uk or call 01223 306 030 for more options.
