The staff were wonderful. Very friendly. However, We were told when we left for our trip that they would be at the airport to pick us up on arrival. I asked if I should call when we arrived to set up pick up but were told that they would be watching for our flight to arrive on the website and would know. Thus, I didn't call. When we arrived they were not there and I was told that we were supposed to have called. Just some simple miscommunication but it resulted in us waiting at the airport for almost 1 hour. They were very friendly to deal with though~
Now we know the location, it will be easy to use this business again. Excellent, friendly service!!!!!
This company is poorly organized and staffed. They sent Uber to pick me up from the airport as their own staff had an "errand to run". The Uber driver didn't even know my correct name or where he was taking me. Add to that, when I got to the parking lot where my car was parked, my car was blocked in the back fence area by dozens of other cars. It took over an hour for the parking attendant to get my car out. I returned a week earlier than I paid for, but no refund of that extra week has been offered. In addition, when I got home, I got two telephone calls from this company asking me to pay some ridiculous bill that I didn't owe. I guess they finally figured out they had the wrong customer as, after the second call and telling them twice I paid before I left Seattle, I got no more calls. My advice - avoid this company no matter how low the price they charge might be.
The lot has a very small sign, so we drove by it the 2nd time. They don't have a shuttle - they use hired cars, we were in a Yukon. The driver missed the sign too. The pickup was great, we waited 10 minutes, and they brought our car to us, so that was nice. I'd allow a few extra minutes to get to the airport
Text message told me to go to airport parking lot after I already arrived at valet parking lot. Knowing where I should be when car was dropped off was confusing and then car drove past me so I had to run after it. Finally worker did not have a credit card reader so transaction was very slow.
So the supposed SeaTac Valet parking is nothing more than a glass shop with a phone # that you call and get a voicemail that's full. Lot was fenced up and locked, so couldn't even park there and had to scramble to find somewhere else. The lot is also further away than most other parking services, so for the hassle and chance you get shut out like me, don't even bother. What a scam. Again, STAY AWAY from SeaTac Valet. You'll end up getting a locked gate like me.
Have never used a parking lot like that before, but would use it again, Thanks
great service!
This company goes above and beyond to make sure each customer gets suberb service!!
A sign would be good to make first-time use easier, especially when its dark. The service was good but the lot could stand a little care. Broken glass was heavy in the roadway into the parking area.
Had we called 30 minutes before arrival as they suggest, we wouldn't have waited for the trip to the airport.
It might be a problem with my GPS, or it could be an incorrect address - not sure which, but I had trouble locating it the first time I was there.
Thank you SEATAC AIRPORT VALET for being so awesome and friendly. Flying with toddle is already a lot of work. Ya'll make getting to the airport so easy and getting back home a breeze.
The long wait time was due to my flight being very early. The overall service was excellent. The driver did a good job in traffic and fog.
It is so nice to come home from a long day of travel to have such great service. Not only were the staff great, but they even helped scrape of the ice on our car!! Once again, thank you for great service!!!
It was so nice to deal with friendly happy poeple durinhg the stresful time of travel. Having my own car brought to the airport was a treat!
They only have a little sandwich board sign by the door and no sign from the road. We spent 20 minutes circling around looking for the lot. You have to check in at the glass store so it's very confusing. Checking in at another business made things unorganized and made me feel like this company wasn't very reputable.
The only reason for the Shuttle wait time was on us. We arrived 2 hours after we informed them we would be arriving. Returning they brought our "warm" car to us so we could get on the road sooner. Loved the app showing us where the driver was. We will use them from now on!!! Thank you for great service and making our trip less stressful!!!!
Parking lot is part of glass doctor. A few cars parked there. Didn't feel very safe, although the attendant states there is someone there 24/7. It is fenced. Pick up to airport was fast and arrival was timely. Pick up from airport took 30 minutes and then another 20 minutes to get to the lot and on the road. Just too long for me in the future.

Is there a php code that is used when you would like to use a special class for posts that were written today?
something like:

<div class="entry<?php if ($today = the_time('F jS, Y')) { ?>today<? }else{ ?><?php }?>">
Doing this simply echoes the date in the template. It's driving me crazy.
Any help would be really appreciated. :)

Glorious Art, for All
Published: March 3, 2003
To the Editor:
As I read about the glorious gift of the works of Henri Matisse and other masters to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (front page, Feb. 27), I am again saddened by recent cuts in education budgets, especially for the arts.
I suspect that if all high school students had a school trip to see these and other paintings at least once in their junior or senior year, many of their future lives and feelings might be permanently affected, certainly more than by another day of classwork aimed at improving performance on standardized tests.
West Orange, N.J., Feb. 27, 2003

Have an idea? It's your money!
Hi Jennifer and Katt,
Thanks much for your compelments to the design, and comments on this coat !! I am very happy it is selling well for you Jennifer! :D
I love the idea of this coat in brown, and antique brass buttons! If you want to see how it might look here is a link : https://www.pinterest.com/pin/433823376587169739/ I drew up the design a couple of months ago. I think it would have looked better with the antique brass buttons that you suggested! Thanks again. Amber reply

Hello Katt,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. You will see it here if we make the Brown version in the future. Thank you. reply

Add sleeves and side pockets and I would buy this in any of the strong jewell colours! So pretty! reply
by KATT TAYLOR
8 hours 23 minutes ago
Is this going into production? I would really like one. :-) reply
Gorgeous! I adore this print and colour!! Really hope it gets made, I would buy nearly anything in it! reply
This design should have three flat buttons that close up a placket to the collar which is hidden when wearing the cravat and can be left open sans cravat for a more casual style. This design is the short version. A much longer version that comes down past the crotch to the thigh should have long side splits for ease of movement. Shoulders should be generous with removable shoulder pads to get the square 40's (or 80's) look. reply
This looks great in the Black and the Grey but why would making a Brown version not respect the design? Steampunk is very popular at the moment and making some items in a Chocolate colour with copper or brass fittings would be a smart business move. It's also a more conservative colour choice in some ways and popular in general fashion. Worth considering further I think. reply

I wish I could get a size 28 in the Burgundy (actually in the coats I wish you went to a 30 to accommodate my excessive boobs!). I really love this colour and design. reply

Thanks for a great product! This one has been a hot seller to the gents as well. (Even at twice the price of my other Inverness style coats.) For them it's invoking a piratey/old fashioned military look. Please consider adding brown with antique brass buttons--it'd fly off the shelves! reply

I have a VB.Net program that will basically make a query to a remote MS-SQL DB using TSQL, return two columns (normally 4 rows/records), 1 is a datetime and 1 is a double. I will then need to return the average of the doubles (which is easy in VB.NET).
As I will need to run this query perhaps 1000 times an hour (programmatically with different input parameters for the query), I am looking for the most efficient way to code this up so that it will take the shortest time to run. I tried SQLDataAdapter and then using dataAdapter.Fill and sometimes it returns an empty set although the raw select query has values returned.
Is there any alternative suggestion? Speed is the key here.
Thanks in advance!

Fabric of Our Lives, Part 2
May 2, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
Last Friday I wrote about an encounter with the platinum card–carrying elite. But this is a two-part story, you see. For many years later, long after that glimpse into the lives of the rarefied, I found myself at the local flea market.
This is a sort of addiction in my family: even when houses are being sold and divested or apartments are bursting at their meager seams or neighbors have called the city to complain about the sheds on our property (depending on the generation), we are incapable of curbing our need for "bargains." We brake for thrift shops; we brake hard for furniture on the curb; we scour the local papers for tag, yard, or garage sales. Read More »
Fabric of Our Lives
April 29, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
It's not as if I could afford it. I could never have afforded a nightgown that expensive, and in that moment of my life—marginally employed, tenuously housed, financially and otherwise insecure—I could afford it even less than usual. The week before, a piece of my tooth had fallen out, a jagged shard, its edges brown with decay. I kept it in a dish by my bed. It had become an object of some fascination, but I really needed to go to the dentist.
But I wanted that nightgown so much. I craved it as I hadn't craved a thing since childhood. It was, in fact, the sort of thing I hadn't wanted since childhood—feminine and pretty and frivolous. A whisper-thin slip of cotton so fine, so precious, that it transcended price and moved into the realm of the divine. Read More »

"How are you?" asked a smiling acquaintance on the street.
"Well, I'm pretty down about Prince—but aren't we all?" I said reprovingly.
"Oh yes," she murmured. "Of course." I saw her blinking quickly in an effort to summon tears. "It's the end of an era, isn't it?" Read More »
The Wrong Scent
April 20, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
When I rejoined my husband, the first thing he said was, "I love that perfume!"
"That's just as well," I said shortly.
Here's what had happened: I'd taken refuge from the weather in a shop. Guiltily aware that I wouldn't be buying anything, I sniffed at a series of perfume stoppers. Some customer in a fishing hat, a pair of white socks with sandals, and a bag with a picture of Liza Minnelli on it was chattering with the saleswoman about the exorbitant price of neighborhood tea and his depression. "Maybe some cologne will help your day," said the saleswoman. Read More »
The Cheese Guy
April 18, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
I used to like buying cheese. You could say it was one of the small, reliable pleasures of my week. I never bought a great deal—usually just a small piece to eat for lunch with some bread and fruit—but I enjoyed the process of tasting and learning and then bearing home the neatly wrapped little waxed-paper bundle.
The cheese guy was nice, too. Knowledgeable without making a big show of it, authoritative without snobbery, and pleasantly detached. It was this detachment, in a way, that allowed me to enjoy the transaction—he never made a big fuss about my being a regular. I felt slightly invisible, but in the best possible way. It would have been awkward if he'd been flirtatious or overly friendly. And he never made me try more cheeses than I wanted, which I thought was nice. Read More »
Always Right
April 11, 2016 | by Sadie Stein
The other day I noticed something for the first time. "Please allow all customers off the train," said the recorded voice over the subway sound system. Customers. Not passengers, not riders: customers.
What did it mean? Something bureaucratic, obviously—but philosophically? Had the transaction at last been stripped of all artifice? Had the civic connotations of public transit been cast off in favor of naked commercialism? Or was this a simple acknowledgment that we're paying for the ride—and that, in the way of all American customers, we are always right? Read More »

"Opening on the road for the first two weeks jumps out at first look and certainly creates a sense of urgency to open the season."

The Syncwire cable is genuinely good value for money. The cable construction is very good and it doesn't feel like the connectors are going to fall off after 5 minutes use. Both my iPhone 5 & iPad instantly recognised the cable when connected, so thumbs up there.
Whats even more impressive is the cable comes with a lifetime unconditional warranty, if for any reason your cable should break or stop working, Syncwire will supply you with a free replacement, pretty good for a cable that cost less than £6!
If you need a replacement or spare cable, you can't go wrong with the Syncwire. The quality is superb and the lifetime warranty makes is exceptional value for money.

Apple cable results:
Syncwire cable results:
So there we have it - the Syncwire is as good as the original Apple Lightning Cable and is able to deliver the full 10 W / 2.00 A from the Apple USB charger. My 3ft Anker cable was not far behind at 1.94 A / 9.72 W.
As an aside some of my other 'Lightning' cables were shockingly bad at delivering current and are now in the bin. I also found that one of my aftermarket '2.5 amp' wall chargers can only actually deliver 0.97 amps, so that will be replaced at some point too. I am very happy with the Syncwires at just £5.99.
****EDIT****. I have since purchased these cables as replacements for the OEM ones as they are frankly the best quality lightning cables. I will also add that these cables are working fine with my wife's iPhone 6 and my 6 plus and iPad Air 2.
So, my wife and I own 4 Apple devices, all lightning connector - iPhone 5, 5c, iPad 4 and iPad mini. Charging cables come and go, need them at home, in the car, in the office so you can imagine, we've bought quite a few to supplement the original cables, which frankly are disappointing for Apple - the cables crimp and crease at the connector over time leading to longevity problems. The non-genuine replacements are hit and miss. Even in a batch of 3 cables from one supplier I can get random performance one cable working, another not and a third only some of the time on some of the devices!!!
So, this little MFI certified cable comes as a welcome treat.
The SyncWire presentation is simple and attractive, fuss free. First sight shows the cable inside is clearly not wound as tight as either Apples own or many of the cheap copies - this can be put down to the clear difference in cable sleeve - it's not that the cable sleeve looks different, it's just feels different, stiffer, stronger. Clearly this isn't going to wind up in a little knot, but I take some reassurance that the cable is stronger than others.
Also, the connector tips look sturdier. These are housed in a more robust plastic housing, slightly bulkier than the Apple own, neatly branded, but also apparently a single moulded piece rather than what Apples are which look to be a two piece with insert.Read more ›
I have review so many charging cables and some include Syncwire. They always produce high quality cables. I in fact purchased a braided one from them myself a couple of years back before being a reviewer! That cable is very good and has outlasted my other cables!
This isn't a braided cable like many seem to be now a days which is a shame as I love the braided cables. That said its not all about that.
This cable whilst having a strong robust protection sheath it is very compact and the most narrow sheath I have seen to date. See photograph. This makes it easy to fit through my phone cases, if not all. It fitted through my life proof case.
Can highly recommend
I'm very disappointed with this product especially as I purchased 3 at the same time and they have all stopped working .
Waste of my time and money

In the year 1999 Ian started vj-ing at a local club in Bergen op Zoom. This process grew and within a couple of years later he stood in clubs as Paradiso were he video supported the finals of Ali B with the "Grote Prijs van Nederland" and did the first three "Major League" parties at Nighttown organized by the Rotterdam based record-store TripleVision.
Ian founded Mediaontwerpers in the year 2002 to build interactive installations for party's as a reaction to get more pleasure out of a party by combining art, sound and interaction together.
With various hardware sensors, other interactive tools and a significant dose of weird humour as ingredients a Mediaontwerpers production never fits ,but always surpasses the expectations. From absurd media to interactive installations. Mediaontwerpers themselves produces every single item including the hardware, the stories the performance and the visuals. The only objective is to please the audience during the party's with it's interactive installations. Combining art, media and humour it continually builds projects. All of the installations have political and or social implications and influence how I see the community through my own eyes combined with love and passion for fun, party's and festivals.
During REMF 2007 The Rotterdam based Electronic Festival Mediaontwerpers released his latest project with a big succes, a four wheel driven radio controlled truck with a megaphone on top. Music played inside the clubs and funny sketches were played outside on the streets combined with an onboard camera, police siren and a red flashlight, pleasing the audience as they stood waiting.
In the year 2009 Mediaontwerpers had the honor to participate at the preview of the Art "Biennale of Venice" in 2009 under the organization Dropstuff where he made some changes and added extra items to find the connection between the truck and a 14x4 meter led screen. Mediaontwerpers realized a 2 way communication between the visitor and the truck. Being in front of the screen gave you the feeling being the truck itself and to undergo a conversation with people elsewhere through a walky-talky, there people could talk back through the onboard microphone on the truck. Together with a spy-cam gave this truck splashing moments of joy and laughter.
Places where Mediaontwerpers performed:
Paradiso (Amsterdam), Nighttown (Rotterdam), Supperclub (Amsterdam), Off-Corso (Rotterdam), Bootleg DJ Café (Rotterdam), Toaster (Rotterdam), Catwalk (Rotterdam), Sub Terraneo (Amsterdam), Amstelhaven (Amsterdam), Waterfront (Rotterdam), Land van Waas (Rotterdam), Club Rotterdam (Rotterdam), Melkweg (Amsterdam), Doornroosje (Nijmegen), Laddazaal (Gent, BE), Stazione Leopolda - Fabbrica festival (Italy, IT), Solar Weekend Festival - Maasplassen (Roermond), Watt (Rotterdam), Cinema Rodina (St Petersburg, RU), ESG-21 (St Petersburg, RU), Griboedov club (St Petersburg, RU), Winzavod (Moscow, RU), Project OGI (Moscow, RU), Club Amsterdam (Yaroslavl, RU) and Preview Venice biennale 2009 (Venice,IT)

Home > Press > The Queen's Birthday Honours
|Sir Mark Welland,
The founder of the Nanoscience Centre at the University of Cambridge, Professor Mark Welland, has been awarded a knighthood in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Sir Mark (pictured) is currently on secondment to the Ministry of Defence as Chief Scientific Adviser, where he directs the science and technology programme, chairs the Investment Approvals Board that authorises all major capital procurement projects and acts as the Principal of the 1958 Mutual Defence Agreement between the US and the UK on nuclear matters.
During his secondment he remains Professor of Nanotechnology at the University.
Sir Mark started his career in nanoscience and nanotechnology at IBM Research Laboratories, Yorktown Heights, USA, where he was part of the team that developed one of the first scanning tunnelling microscopes.
Upon moving to Cambridge in 1985 he set up the first tunnelling microscopy group in the UK and in 1991 he began the nanoscience research group.
He established a purpose-built facility at the University, the Nanoscience Centre, which undertakes a variety of nano-related research programmes of an interdisciplinary nature.
This was the base for the Interdisciplinary Research Collaboration (IRC) in Nanotechnology of which Sir Mark was the Director and whose highly successful legacy has been far reaching.
Sir Mark has made many contributions at an International level and leads the UK side of the World Premier International (WPI) Research Centre Initiative, a 200 million USD program sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in Japan.
He is Co-Director of the Science and Technology Research Centre at the American University in Cairo, Egypt that he co-founded in 2003. In recognition of his work with India, Sir Mark was elected as a Foreign Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences India in 2008. In 2010 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Academy of Denmark.
In addition to his scientific work Sir Mark has been involved in a number of reports, national and international, dealing with the societal, ethical and environmental issues of nanotechnology and was a member of the Royal Society/Royal Academy of Engineering Nanotechnology Study Working Group that reported to the UK Government in July 2004.
On learning of the award he said: "I feel deeply honoured. It has been a real privilege over the past 25 years to work with the exceptional students, researchers, staff and academics that make Cambridge so special. Over the past three years in Government I feel equally privileged to have worked with civilian and military colleagues to support UK Defence and Security."
Also knighted is the Nobel Prize-winning Emeritus Professor of Human Reproduction Professor Robert Edwards, for services to human reproductive biology.
Professor Sir Robert Edwards joined the University of Cambridge as the Ford Foundation Research Fellow at the Department of Physiology, and a member of Churchill College.
Sir Robert began work on fertilisation in 1955, and began his partnership with Dr Patrick Steptoe, a gynaecologist surgeon, in 1968. Although the first successful human test tube fertilisation took place by 1970, research did not result in a successful pregnancy for ten years. During this time, Sir Robert supervised students at Churchill College.
By the late 1970s, funding for their project was running out, and their work met with scepticism, resistance and set-backs. But in 1978, a breakthrough resulted in a healthy pregnancy and the birth of the first ever 'test tube baby', Louise Brown.
They went on to found the first IVF clinic at Bourn Hall near Cambridge in 1980. Before Dr Steptoe died in 1988 Sir Robert was able to tell his seriously ill colleague that one thousand babies had been conceived at the clinic.
In 2001 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of Cambridge and the Albert Lasker Clinical Medical Research Award for the development of in vitro fertilization. Last Autumn he was awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. Sir Robert is now a Pensioner Fellow at Churchill College, Cambridge.
Over four million children have now been born as a result of IVF.
Professor Yasir Suleiman, the His Majesty Sultan Qaboos Bin Sa'id Professor of Modern Arabic Studies, has been made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).
His research covers the cultural politics of the Middle East with special focus on identity, conflict, diaspora studies and modernization in so far as these issues relate to language, modern Arabic literature, translation and memory. He also conducts research in Arabic grammatical theory and the Arabic intellectual tradition in the pre-modern period.
Professor Suleiman is Chair of the Panel of Judges, British-Kuwaiti Friendship Society Book Prize on Middle Eastern Studies. He serves as Trustee on the Boards of the following organisations: Arab-British Chamber of Commerce Charitable Fund, International Prize for Arab Fiction (in association with the Man-Booker Prize), Banipal Trust for Arab Literature and Gulf Research Centre-Cambridge. He is also Board Member of the Islamic Manuscript Association.
Professor Suleiman is Founding Director of the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Centre of Islamic Studies at Cambridge.
He said: "I am very delighted to receive this honour. I gave up a lucrative career in banking years ago to pursue research and learning. This recognition is a vindication of that decision. Many people helped me on the way and this honour is theirs and mine in equal measure."

The Care Certificate is a set of standards that social care and health workers stick to in their daily working life.
It is the new minimum standards that should be covered as part of induction training of new care workers.
The Care Certificate was developed jointly by Skills for Care, Health Education England and Skills for Health. It:
Who is it for?
Designed with non-regulated workers in mind, the Care Certificate gives everyone the confidence that workers have the same induction - learning the same skills, knowledge and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe and high quality care and support.
The Care Certificate is the start of the career journey and is only one element of the training and education that will make them ready to practice within their specific sector.
Although the Care Certificate is designed for new staff, it also offers opportunities for existing staff to refresh or improve their knowledge.
Our mapping document sets out how the Care Certificate standards map across to other resources used within social care and health, including the previous Common Induction Standards and units in the qualifications and credit framework (QCF).
We've developed materials to support you implement the Care Certificate in your workplace.We also are running a series of events aimed at helping you to assess the Care Certificate. These are available across the country.
The Care Certificate workbook is a free downloadable resource to support the training process and help you and your new workers cover parts of the Care Certificate.
There is a workbook for each standard supported by an introduction and glossary. Each standard includes knowledge content and ends with a section where learners can record their understanding.
Update 22 February 2016 - Please note there have been some minor revisions to the workbooks following feedback from the sector, with only two workbooks having significant changes.
When you download workbook, please save it first and then begin to complete. If you don't do this you are in danger of losing text you have typed in.
Care Certificate workbook
Progress, mapping and signoff
Care Certificate workbook
The use of the workbook is optional and you might want to adapt or develop your own materials to meet the standards.
You can choose to incorporate some or all of the workbook into your induction programmes.
The Care Certificate workbook is not available in a hard copy format. This is to ensure the resource can be produced and maintained free of charge. We have not received any funding to produce hard copies - should there be significant employer demand, we would consider introducing this as a priced publication.
The assessments in these workbooks have answer fields you can fill in electronically. If the workbooks are filled in on a computer they can be saved using 'save as'.
Learners should be encouraged to save their work and share with you. You may wish to save this alongside your other staff records.
There is no answer book to accompany the workbook. It is your responsibility to judge the competency of your workers and arrange additional training, support and supervision as required.
We've developed slides to support the delivery of the basic knowledge for the Care Certificate.
These presentations complement the Care Certificate workbook.
Important: Please note we have not published presentations for standards 10, 11, 12 and 13 as these areas may require specialist knowledge or expertise. The learning elements of those standards are available through the free Care Certificate workbook and can complement this further with your own internal training and workplace assessment.
Download a template of the certificate to award workers who have completed the Care Certificate.
You can also download a word version to add your own logo to the certificate.
It is only valid if the Care Certificate logo remains on the top right and your logo appears on the bottom right.
We've issued guidance to support assessors responsible for making the decision if a care worker has met the 15 standards of the Care Certificate.
To be an assessor you must have a thorough understanding and direct experience in what you're assessing. This could be a qualification related to the role of assessor but there is no requirement for assessors of the Care Certificate to hold any assessor qualification.
We've produced a guidance document to help assessors understand the Care Certificate framework.
You can use the self-assessment tool and reflective log with new workers before they start their induction so you can tailor it to their training needs.
Download our assessment plan, observation record and feedback sheet.
Examples of a completed assessment plan, observation record and feedback sheet are also available.
We've been made aware of a number of training providers (including e-learning providers) making claims about their products in relation to the Care Certificate.
We'd like to reassure you that such claims are false and have issued a full statement that we advise everyone reads before putting their staff through the Care Certificate.
If you are using formal qualification processes to deliver the Care Certificate we've mapped the certificate to the Qualification and Credit Framework (QCF) units within health and social care accredited qualifications.
It enables you to claim the Workforce Development Fund to identify a monetary value for each unit.
Units mapped to the Care Certificate
Three sets of questions and answers have been created for the Care Certificate.
To help you to effectively train and assess anyone new to working in the sector before they can work unsupervised.

the software is really great and with detailed video instructions. works without a glitch.
unfortunately, just 1 downside - tried to view my site on adroid tablet and smartphone and the optin pop up doesn't show up. i hope the developers would look into this before releasing the pro version.
works well. more explanatory with the email responder. i'm using mailchimp U, ld?
This is a great plugin, I have just installed it on my website. I used my own images and was able to edit the appearance of the popup with ease. I'm using iContact and it is all working correctly. I have tried one other free plugin before Optin Revolution, but couldn't get it to work.

Losing It: And Gaining My Life Back One Pound at a Timeby Valerie Bertinelli
View All Available Formats & Editions
We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli years ago when she played girl-next-door cutie Barbara Cooper in the hit TV show One Day at a/b>
Valerie Bertinelli, then: bubbly sitcom star and America's Sweetheart turned tabloid headline and rock star wife. Now: actress, single working mother of teenage rock star, and weight-loss inspiration to millions.
We all knew and loved Valerie Bertinelli years ago when she played girl-next-door cutie Barbara Cooper in the hit TV show One Day at a Time, and then starred in numerous TV movies. From wholesome primetime in America's living rooms, Valerie moved to late nights with the hardest-partying band of the decadent eighties when she became, at twenty, wife to rock guitarist Eddie Van Halen. Losing It is Valerie's frank account of her life backstage and in the spotlight. Here are the ups and downs of teen stardom, of her complicated marriage to a brilliant, tormented musical genius, and of her very public struggle with her weight.
Surprising, uplifting, and empowering, Losing It takes you behind the scenes of Valerie's acting career and marriage, recalling the comforts, friendships, and problems of her television family, her close relationships with her parents and brothers, the stress and worries of being the wife of a rock star, and the joys of motherhood. Like many women, Valerie often remembers the state of her life by the food she ate and the numbers on her scale. So despite her celebrity, Valerie's voice is so down-to-earth, honest, and appealing that you'll feel as if you're talking with a girlfriend over coffee. Funny and candid, Valerie recounts her attempts to maintain a healthy self-image while dealing with social pressures to look and act a certain way, and to overcome career insecurities and relationship problems, all of which will be familiar to the hundreds of thousands of women who struggle every day with these same issues.
From marital turmoil to the joys of a new career, from being named among Penthouse's ten sexiest women in the world to overhearing whispers about her weight gain in the grocery store, this is Valerie's inspiring journey as she finds new love, raises a terrific kid, and motivates other women as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig.

Read an Excerpt
Bring Home the Fun
Some people measure depression by the medication they take or the number of times per week they see a therapist. For me, it was different. I measured my depression with baked jalapeño-and-cheddar-cheese poppers, the brand that advertises itself with the slogan "Bring home the fun."
I'd love to meet the person who came up with that line and ask him a question. Is it really fun to see yourself blow up three dress sizes?
I suppose they wouldn't sell as many if their slogan was "Pack on the pounds." On the other hand, they may do OK with a promotion that said "Forget your ex-husband" or "Eat these instead of having sex -- since nobody wants to see your fat bare ass."
During the cold winter months of 2002-03, when I was making Touched by an Angel in Utah, those jalapeño-and-cheese poppers were my Prozac. I was on a significant dosage: at least nine a night and sometimes more. At the grocery store, I saw other women looking at me when I loaded the boxes into my cart from the frozen food case. I could almost hear them thinking Oh my gosh, that's Valerie Bertinelli. And look: she's on those jalapeño poppers.
It was true. There were nights when I OD'd on those poppers. My mouth burned because I couldn't wait for them to cool down after taking them out of the oven. Other times I savored the taste with tiny, almost sensual bites, drawing out the feeling of comfort and escape I got from eating. The bright smile that served me well for so many years went into storage. So did my size 8 jeans. And my 10s. And my 12s. And my -- well, my weight soared past 170 pounds, the highest it had ever been outside of my pregnancy.
Those were some of the darkest days of my life, and I was eating my way through them. By 2001 my marriage to Eddie Van Halen was over after more than twenty years of competing with his rock-and-roll lifestyle for attention. Our fights about his drinking had taken a toll. Discussing and solving our problems used to bring us closer, but now it wore us out. Ultimately, when he failed to help himself by giving up cigarettes after mouth cancer had threatened his life, I knew, sadly, that one way or another I was going to end up on my own.
By then I was working and living in Utah eight months of the year. Full of anger and frustration, I spent at least three nights a week on a plane so I could see our ten-year-old son, Wolfie, who stayed home in Los Angeles to be in school with his friends. That wasn't the way I wanted to live or the type of person I wanted to be. But instead of helping myself, I did the opposite. I ate my misery and turned my misery into a reason for eating.
Overweight, alone, and horribly depressed, I kept eating poppers and everything else in my path. After Touched went off the air, I returned home and became a hermit. I hid from the world, hoping no one would see that I'd gotten fat. In reality, I was hiding from the one person who could help solve my problems: me.
That was hard to believe. Over the years, I'd tried every diet on the bookshelves -- from the grapefruit diet, to Weight Watchers, to the lemon juice and cayenne pepper fast -- and all of them had worked as long as I stayed on them. But once I stopped, the weight came right back, and, unfortunately with a little extra. While I hate to admit it, I was on the verge of giving up and accepting that I was never going to look the way I wanted to -- or feel the way I wanted to either.
I used to say half-jokingly that I was going to give up, move to the mountains, and be the quirky old fat lady down the street with forty-some-odd cats.
I'm glad I didn't. Instead I ended up outing myself on the cover of the April 4, 2007, issue of People magazine by declaring, "I know what you're thinking -- I'm fat." Publicly, it was the start of a diet where the stakes were total humiliation and embarrassment if I failed to reach my goal. Privately, it was, as my fellow Jenny Craiger Kirstie Alley promised, not just a diet but really the start of a journey. She was right.
By any standard, I've enjoyed a charmed life. Even though I gained notoriety by working on TV, I shunned the spotlight in favor of a normal life, driving carpools, volunteering in my son's classroom, making dinner, and trying never to miss my monthly book club get-togethers. Of all the roles I've undertaken, none has been more satisfying than motherhood. I'm as much of a regular gal as people seem to expect -- and I like it that way.
If you walked into my house right now, you'd find my cat Dexter lounging on the sunny floor in the kitchen, a large bowl of fruit on the counter, delicious-smelling vegetable soup simmering in a tall pot on the stove, the recycling trash can ready to be emptied, and paperwork and schoolbooks spread across the dining room table. You'd also see my boyfriend Tom on the phone in the backroom, and me working the crossword puzzle, as is my daily routine.
Creating this happy picture was a puzzle that took my entire adult life till now to solve. By the time I went public as a size 14, I'd already done the hard work: confronting the fears, insecurities, disappointments, and frustrations that accounted for the three different sizes of dresses and pants I needed in my closet for my constantly changing weight. After that, it was just a matter of portion control, exercise, and self-discipline.
Since going on Jenny Craig in March 2007, I've surpassed my original goal of 30 pounds and set new targets for myself. But the weight I've lost doesn't compare to what I've gained -- or regained -- in my life. The weight loss and renewed zest for life go hand in hand. Kirstie had promised as much when she said, "Valerie, it's not about the weight. -What's going to happen is -you're going to quit hiding and discover the real you."
She was right. My relationships have never been healthier, including the one I have with myself, and I've finally found a joy that seemed beyond my grasp when I was reaching for those jalapeño-and-cheese poppers. Physically and emotionally, I'm a different person. It's like I'm hitting my stride. These days I really do bring home the fun.
In this book, you won't find me professing to have all the answers to life's problems. Hey, I'm still trying to figure out most of those. Instead this story is about the choices I've made, good and bad, and how I've grown and learned from them. There are also exciting times, emotional moments, and life as it happened. Through it all, you'll get me uncensored and unfiltered -- the good, bad, stupid, stubborn, size 14 and size 4. It's nothing more complicated, though as you'll see, it was complicated enough for me. Isn't it always that way?
If you're starving right now because -you're on a diet, ask yourself if your hunger has anything to do with food. I know the answer to that question. Look, we're all human. We go through the same things. If -you're in a dark place over some problem in your life, I hope that reading my story will help you feel less alone when you see that someone else has made the same mistakes and gotten through them. I hope -you'll relate to my story, learn from it, and, as I finally did, find the courage to change, shed any unwanted pounds, and gain all the good things you thought impossible.
Now where did I put that bag of chips?
Just kidding.

The most crucial chapters were: 2-Tiny Dancer," how food became her comfort. 4-"You've Got The Part," her first job in showbiz. 8-"Love Lies Bleeding," how food became her drug of choice. 11-Runnin With The Devil," her early relationship with Eddie Van Halen & how quickly they got married. 13-"Aftershock," One Day At A Time gets cancelled & her depression begins. 16-"And The Cradle Will Rock," how her sons birth brought temporary stability to her family life. 17-"House Of Pain," problems with her husbands addictions leads to her gaining weight more than ever before. 19-"Black & Blue," covers the story of her divorce. 22-"Feel Your Way Tonight," how life became far happier when she meets a compatible man. 29-"Regaining My Life," how she maintains her new found weight loss via Jenny Craig & stabilized her life. This was an authentic & fast read for anyone who likes a celebrity who is grounded in reality. Bertinelli is honest with herself and she also reveals insecurities, fears, especially the fear of being fat. My opinion, that celebrities prefer the stigma of being a druggie rather than being fat. This book is not only about the weight loss, but the battle spreads into all aspects of our life. This biography is not just for gals or fans of celebrities. The author is honest & reveals her life in twenty nine brief chapters. There really could have been fewer chapter titles since the contents tended to overlap. Nonetheless, it works well. She is poignantly honest about her experiences, mistakes, weaknesses, fears & insecurities. But, she does so without the often heavy celebrity egomania. She actually comes across as very ordinary & kind.
Given the title, I expected the book to be more about her body image and weight struggles. While she complains about being 130 pounds (GASP!), she mostly describes her work and family. Her marriage and son are interesting. She refers to her own cocaine use like it's an everyday thing. I didn't find her very relatable, but the book was decently entertaining. Don't expect any life changing revelations or thought-provoking content, but it will amuse you.
I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I was a little disappointed in this book. I was excited to purchase it and read it; actually picked it up in Chicago on a trip and read it within a day and half; but, I guess I thought of Valerie Bertinelli as the squeaky clean girl on TV and it turns out that wasn't true. I shouldn't have been surprised since she was married to a rock star and that scenario brings with it a whole lifestyle dynamic that would make most of us blush. I was hoping to read more about her weight loss journey and experience and what I got was a journey throughout her life and Van Halen's life. I guess it all ties in together, but I wanted to know more about her experience with Jenny Craig, the food, etc. It didn't seem to spend much time on that... maybe, the final couple chapters. Overall, it was an ok read for me.
The book is a quick read and some of the inside info about "One Day at a Time" and the Van Halen marriage is very interesting. However, there are some contradictions and such that just don't make sense. For one, I thought Valerie's remark about wishing she could win the lottery was insensitive and offensive, especially in these times. Come on. This woman has not known financial strife or even financial challenge for a single day of her life. She grew up the daughter of an executive and later married one of the richest rock stars to have ever lived. In between, she had her own successful TV show and starred in countless movies and specials. I can't believe something that stupid wasn't edited out.
Also, her incessant remarks about having strict parents got under my skin. Stric parents? Really? Maybe compared to Mackenzie Phillips, who appears to have had no parenting at all. But Valerie had sex at 15, and then went on to engage in a sexual relationship with Scott Colomby, eight years her senior. That is very nearly statutory rape in some states, and may well be stat rape in others. She was in his bed nightly until 12 midnight with her parents' approval, and she calls that a strict upbringing? And then, while still in her teens, she carried on with the much older Steven Spielberg. And all that cocaine. I don't get it.
Finally, I was bothered by the fact that she felt compelled to promptly admit her cheating on Scott Colomby to him, because "that's the type of person [she] is." Yet, if that's really the type of person she is, then why did she not feel compelled to come clean to Eddie Van Halen when she cheated on him?
Too many contradictions for me. I don't think Valerie is a bad person at all. To the contrary, I think she very much wants to be a good, decent responsible caring person. However, I think she has never been in touch with the real world or real issues, simply because she can't experience them on a like footing with other people. Weight loss is a lot easier,even under the Jenny Craig plan, if you can afford the meals. Most people I know would love to try it but they can't afford it. Also, try working your way through a troubled marriage when you have financial problems on top of everything else. This would be more inpsiring had it been written by a real person.
I agree with a previous reviewer. It sounds like she got stuck in her teens and the book reads like it. I thought she came across as obnoxious, not able to keep from blurting things out at inappropriate moments. It felt embarassed for her even reading this. Not a good book and whoever helped her write this did not do a good job at all.
I grew up watching Valerie on 'One Day at a Time' and always felt a certain kinship to her. So I was very excited to read her book, as I have put on 30 or so pounds since my early 30's. I must say that I was a bit dissapointed in the choices she made concerning the many sexual relationships that she was involved in. But it seems that she's getting her act together now that she has met her current boyfriend. And she is obviously a very devoted mother. I think her biggest problem was marrying at such a young age to a rock star. That was really the beginning of her problems. She has inspired me to lose weight, and I know how it feels to be hopeless once you get over 155 pounds. She gives me hope. Thanks, Valerie.
Valerie Bertinelli fails to provide any surprises in her book. What she does reveal is that like many today, she is weight-obsessed. All her book does is continue the stereotype that if you're not thin, you're nothing. When I saw cute little Barbara on "One Day at a Time", I hoped that she would mature into a woman of some substance. Valerie Bertinelli reveals a shallowness that I found surprising, considering some of her performances. Alas, they were performances. Just rack this up to another in an endless series, of "Look at Me, somebody gave me free food and I lost weight". I found Kirstie Alley's book much funnier and original.
Thought I'd be inspired by her weight loss story, but was bored instead by her tiresome marriage to 'Ed'Van Halen, her travels, and the worst yet, her career moves! Narcissistic and boring!
she rambles too much and all she talks about is how fat she is 'or was' when before she wasn't even fat overall i do not reccomend it it was poorly written and i didnt even want to finish reading it.valerie is a great actress and she should stick to it.
Im an avid reader reading 3+ books a month. This book is by far the WORST book Ive ever read EVER! Totally upset I wasted money on this crap!
Great book. A very fast read. Inspiring and honest. Interesting details about One Day at a Time and her marriage to Eddie Van Halen.
Touching, inspiring, and motivating.
Some of the readers need to re-read the book....no contradictions...no stuck in her teens....enjoyed every minute of the book! Brought back memories of seeing myself in her,about the same age. Watched her and listen(ed) to EVH all the time....was very easy reading...couldn't put it down,liked the feeling she was "talking" to me. Sometime "true love" does come around a second time!
This was an easy read and I wasn't sure what to expect when I first decided to buy it. After a few pages it felt like I was having a conversation with Valerie and not reading a book. She made some mistakes along the way but we all do. I think we can all relate to her in our own ways and I can identify with her insecurities as well. It had to be hard and cleansing to talk about the issues she has had to face. Being able to have a mature relationship with your ex husband should set an example for all of us.
This book is horrible. It has illustrated how shallow, uneducated and narcissistic Valerie Bertinelli is.
