What About Self-Care and Self-Love?
If you haven't be taking care of yourself, all the sex geeky skills in the world aren't going to help. What can you do? With Cathy Vartuli from http://www.TheIntimacyDojo.com, Yoni Alkan from http://www.ElementsofSexuality.com, Liz Powell from http://www.SexPositivePsych.com and Caroline Carrington from http://www.JewelInTheLotusCoaching.com, with special guest, sexy librarian!
Cathy: What about self-care and self-love? I'm Cathy Vartuli from from http://www.TheIntimacyDojo.com
Liz: I'm Doctor Liz from http://www.SexPositivePsych.com
Caroline: I'm Caroline Carrington from http://www.JewelInTheLotusCoaching.com
Yoni: And I'm Yoni Alkan from http://www.ElementsofSexuality.com
Cathy: And no matter what we talk about and all the skills you can have, if you don't have self-love and self-care, it's really hard to implement those things I know like, I know a lot of techniques to approach people sexually and talk to them but if I'm feeling really low. If I haven't been taking care of myself or I'm not loving myself very much, it's going to come across really awkward or I'm just not going to have the resources to be present with somebody.
Liz: I think, one of my friends said to me, I think this has been a big message for me the last several months, we accept the love we think we deserve. Right, if you feel like you don't deserve anything better than someone who treats you poorly. You're never going to step forward and demand something better if you don't feel like you demand, like you deserve someone who treats you really well, who honors your autonomy, who values you, you're not going to find that person, you're going to settle for someone who you think you don't, you aren't good enough for them and they're so much better than you even when they're not treating you a way that works for you.
Yoni: I think it's really important to know what you want from yourself and from others and find your find your place and find what what's good for you and what's not and in order to do that you got to try.
Cathy: It's awkward at first, it's like you haven't done it, trying to lift weights when you haven't lifted weights before, it's like oh this is so hard, it would take me forever but a little bit of practice over and over, oh wow I'm beating myself up again let me stop, let me appreciate something about myself, it feels so awkward and the next time, it's a little easier and a little you actually build neuro pathways in your brain.
Caroline: Right. There's a practice that I've actually started in the last few weeks as supposed to go through the day and like thinking about everything that happened I actually take a couple minutes before bed and just literally give muself a little pep talk about all the awesome things that I achieved that day and sometimes it is Oh, I slept 8 hours which is huge. Right? Or I ate pretty healthy or I got outside and did some exercise today or I completed that thing that's been on my to-do-list for the last 6 months. Whatever it is but really being affirming to myself and kind of being my own cheerleader right before bed.
Cathy: I like that one and I have to sometimes do small things coz I'm like oh I did not win the Nobel Peace Prize today dammit! Obviously I fail. No, okay, I was kind to someone and I got that thing done that's been on my list and it only took me five minutes but it's been there for a year, thank God I got it done like the smaller things that we sometimes forget to appreciate.
Caroline: I think that word kindness is key. Being kind ourselves and taking ourselves off that perfection
Liz: Well yeah.
Yoni: One of the things that dancing taught me in my life is the concept of patience and it's all process because these things take time. You can be super talented in dance specifically. You can be super talented and learn everything really quickly, there are things that will not click until you log so and so many dance floor hours. You have to dance and dance and dance and dance until you get it so it's that's where I learned that lesson of I'm in a process, this is where I am right now, I have a long way to go but I'm happy where I am right now and knowing that it will only get better, I need experience, it is really important.
Liz: And I fell into this pattern a lot of like expecting myself to be better than anyone else like I would never have the same expectation of someone else that I have on myself. Because clearly I should be able to establish a highly successful business in less than a year after moving to a new city all the way across the country with no contact. That's God, what's with me? Perfectly reasonable. Right? And so I think that a lot of times when you're noticing that you're not measuring up it's time to check those standards like where did you get those standards like where did you get those standards from? Are they even realistic? Could anyone meet that standard?
Cathy: Would you ask your best friend to do the same thing?
Liz: Right! If your best friend came to you and said I feel like such a failure because XYZ would you look at them like why? Right?
Cathy: Yeah, and then I think you know you you're talking about the awkwardness. I've learned to try to reframe it because I was brought up with the perfection model. I think we all were where if we're really good tell them to people, it would be super easy and we just like get it instantly and yeah, there are things that happens that but most things when we're outside our comfort zones, we're growing were going to be awkward so used to be I felt like I was a failure if I felt awkward, but now I try to remind myself, wow I have courage, I'm doing something that's new to me, that's actually a really good thing so this awkwardness even though it feels uncomfortable is actually really positive sign that I'm making a difference
Caroline: And the reality is even when you're super talented and you're living out your dream and you're in total passion and you were made for this, I was watching documentaries on Beyonce recently, they took six years as Destiny's Child even to get a record deal. Six years! And then they lost it twice, she spent her whole lifetime working her ass off and she one of the best in the business!
Liz: She's phenomenal!
Caroline: She's phenomenal, naturally talented.
Cathy: But we look at Facebook we don't see the struggles we see all the wings
Caroline: Right, we miss the struggles! Exactly.
Liz: We see we see everyone else's polished, perfected Photoshopped lives and compare them to what we know our reality you know what I..
Cathy: Comparing our insides to everyone else's outsides.
Liz: Yeah. Comparing your inside life to someone else's outside life and that's not realistic. Right? Even Beyonce isn't Beyonce. Even Kim Kardashian isn't Kim Kardashian. Right?
Cathy: And I think one other thing that you can do is find the thing you hate most about yourself and look at it more deeply. For a long time I was convinced because I was heavier people, a big woman, that no one could ever love me and I've been told that many many times and just kind of reconnecting to my body and going wow, it's pretty amazing it has more fat cells than cosmos as I should have. And I still get to love the fact that my body enjoy pleasure and hug friends and you know there's all these things when I started connecting with that, the thing that you hate the most maybe the biggest source of change that you can make when you start looking for things you can appreciate about you and again you can start really small.
Yoni: Yeah.
Cathy: So, we hope this helps.
Liz: Yeah.
Cathy: We'd love to know what you think, what are you struggling with around self-care and self-love? Leave comments below.
Caroline: Maybe you'll inspire us with your comments.
Liz: I'm always looking for nice [Inaudible 00:06:42]

Our bear topic
Date: 29th Jan 2017 @ 8:28pm
This half term we are learning about bears! Nursery have been reading We're going on a bear hunt and have been learning how to re-tell the story to our friends.
Nursery discovered that bears like to eat honey! We explored the texture and taste of honey (we even wrote our names in it!) and decided to place honey around our playground, to see if we could entice bears into the classroom. We couldn't believe it when 3 special bears arrived at Nursery the next day! Unfortunately we found that the bears had made a huge mess in the classroom! The children have taken turns to show our new bears how to take part in the different activities in Nursery. We have drawn and painted pictures of the bears, and have made caves inside and outside the classroom for them to stay in. Our class have also sang nursery rhymes to the bears, and have read them stories! We love our new visitors!

This polka dot dress is turning out to be quite a bit trickier than I originally thought, I am looking forward to finishing it this week.
The princess seam worked out but then when I tried to attach the sash I started running into problems, first of can anyone tell me how I manage to get my thread snarled up so much, I cannot figure out why it does this… Update: I found out that the snarled thread is due to my tension setting.
Eventually I decided to discard the sash, I am disappointed and I will probably try to make a dress with a sash another time but for now I think I had bit off more than I could chew so to speak. Anyway once I did that it got much easier, I used some of the fabric that I bought from my local store – the sales associate and I had a good laugh over my trials and tribulations, she was very encouraging. – with that I extended the front bodice, I am interested to see how it will fit since the princess seam ends at what I will now call the empire bustline – as if I intentionally planned it that way haha.
Here's what it looks like
I also cut out the back and put in a zipper, this was the first time that I ever put one in so of course it had to be an 18″ zipper, as you will see in the pictures, the stitching is not strait and the fabric is not quite all tucked in as it should but the zipper works so I am going to call it a success. I also realized after I put the zipper in that I had not finished the edges of the neckline… not quite sure what I will do yet…
Here are some pictures of the zipper:

On 20 November 1955, Portugal lost at home to Sweden 2-6. On 19 November 53 years later, the Selecção collapsed against a rampant Brazil to lose by the same scoreline in a game, played in Gama, Brasilia, that was supposed to raise Portuguese spirits after a recent run of poor results. The humiliating result and the performance will have had the opposite effect, and the team and coach Carlos Queiroz especially can expect heavy flak from the Portuguese media in the coming days.
It all started brightly enough, Portugal setting a blistering pace and catching Brazil on the back foot. From the early pressure, Portugal forced a corner on the left, the ball fell to Bruno Alves at the back post and his shot cum cross was turned in by Danny, otherwise incongruous as a lone striker. It took Brazil just four minutes to recover, Pepe losing the ball on the right to Robinho, whose cross found ex-Portista Luís Fabiano who made no mistake. It weas the beginning of a protracted and painful end for a Portuguese side without ideas and without a single individual performance that could be called reasonable. The home side played their intricate triangles at will and were 2-1 up by half time, the second coming from Luís Fabiano again, turning to sweep the ball in after Kaká had destroyed Portugal on the right.
The second half simply served to confirm Portugal fans' worst fears: a shot from the right by Maicon that beat Quim at his near post, Luís Fabiano's hat-trick, a monumental strike from the right again by Elano, and a mighty header from Adriano, who beat Bruno Alves to the ball with ease and Quim even more easily. Along the way, Simão had made it 2-4 at one point with a neatly taken goal after a Deco through ball, but it was ultimately a meaningless gesture. Brazil were superb. Portugal were a very sorry sight indeed.
The starting line-ups:
Portugal: Quim, Bosingwa, Pwepe, Bruno Alves, Paulo Ferreira, Deco, Tiago, Maniche, Danny, Cristiano Ronaldo, Simão.Brasil: Júlio César, Maicon, Thiago Silva, Luisão, Kleber, Gilberto Silva, Anderson, Elano, Kaká, Robinho, Luis Fabiano
Carlos Queiroz announced on Thursday his squad to play Brazil in Gama on 19 November. Novelties are César Peixoto of Sporting Braga and Rolando oof FC Porto, as well as the return of midfielder Tiago of Juventus. Simão of Atlético Madrid also returns after injury. Pepe is included despite being on Real Madrid's injury list.
Out go Nuno Gomes, Ricardo Quaresma, Carlos Martins, Tonel, Yannick and Daniel Fernandes.
The squad, by club:
Atlético Madrid: Maniche, Simão; Chelsea: Bosingwa, Deco, Paulo Ferreira; Zenit: Danny; FC Porto: Bruno Alves, Raúl Meireles, Rolando; Galatasaray: Fernando Meira; Juventus: Tiago; Manchester United: Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani; Real Madrid: Pepe; Sporting Braga: César Peixoto, Eduardo; Benfica: Quim; Sporting: João Moutinho; Werder Bremen: Hugo Almeida; Valência: Miguel.
Disaster in Braga. Portugal conceded a 0-0 draw against the team ranked 83rd in the world, Albania, seriously jeopardising their chances of qualification for the World Cup in 2010. And the worst of it was that Portugal deserved no more, even after playing against ten men for 50 minutes when sub Teli was sent off for a second yellow.
It was a nightmare of a game for a Portuguese side bereft of ideas and stars like Deco (much missed), Ricardo Carvalho, Simão and Maniche, all injured. But they also missed stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, João Moutinho and Nani (on as sub), who played but did next to nothing to turn the game.
And they were up against a super-organised and spirited Albania who troubled Quim just once, but it was the best chance of the whole game by either side: on 28 minutes, Duro crossed low from the right and Bulku just failed to get a foot to it from point blank range, with Miguel sweeping up the pieces at the back post. And in goalkeeper Arjan Beqaj, they had by far the best player on the pitch, keeping a squib-like Portuguese attack out on countless occasions.
Portugal might point to a possible penalty not given when Cristiano Ronaldo was brought down (was he?) in the box in the first half, and to a Hugo Almeida header in the second half that hit the post and conveniently bobbled up for Beqaj to grasp, but the truth was that the mighty Portugal hardly played at all and did not deserve any more than they got.
The teams lined up:
Portugal: Quim, Miguel (Nuno Gomes 75), Pepe, Bruno Alves, Paulo Ferreira, Raul Meireles, Manuel Fernandes, João Moutinho (Quaresma 55), Danny (Nani 55), Hugo Almeida, Cristiano Ronaldo.Albania: Arjan Beqaj, Elvin Beqiri (Admir Teli 24), Debatik Curri, Kristi Vangieli, Ervin Bulku, Altin Lala, Lorik Cana, Klodian Duro (Besart Berisha 77), Ansi Agolli, Ervin Skela, Erjon Bogdani (Endri Vrapi 45). If the display and result were not enough, Portugal also scored various PR own goals in front of an admirably patient and supportive near-capacity crowd at the 30,000-seater Braga Municipal Stadium , home to Sporting Braga: seven minutes from time, the president of the Football Federation, Gilberto Madaíl was seen leaving the directors' box; in the dying minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo mis-controlled a ball and reacted badly to whistles from the crowd; and no one, not the coach Carlos Queiróz nor any of the players, appeared for the flash interview to be given by the terrestrial channel TVI.
The result leaves Portugal in third place in Group 1, with just five points from four games (!). Denmark head the group, with seven from three. Hungary have seven from four, Sweden five from three and Albania the same points as Portugal, from the same number of games (
). Malta are bottom with no points from their four games.
Portugal's next qualifying game is at home to Sweden on 28 March next year.
The Group 1 table looks like this:.
In an evenly fought World Cup qualifier, Portugal could only draw 0-0 in Sweden on Saturday in front of 33,000 at the Rasunda Stadium, Solna. Sweden started the stronger, with the dangerous Elmander coming close on various occasions and Quim doing well to keep the hosts out. Portugal had most of the possession in the second half but rarely caused any danger to the Swedish goal.
The teams lined up: Sweden (starting): Andreas Isaksson, Behrange Safari, Daniel Majstorovic, Petter Hansson, Mikael Nilsson, Daniel Andersson, Sebastien Larsson, Kim Kallstrom, Samuel Holmen, Johan Elmander, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Portugal : Quim, Bosingwa, Pepe, Bruno Alves, Paulo Ferreira, Fernando Meira, Raul Meireles, João Moutinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani (Danny 81), Hugo Almeida (Quaresma 65). Also on Saturday, Denmark beat Malta 3-0 while Hungary won 2-0 against Albania. Portugal now meet Albania in Braga on 15 October.
Portugal have fallen to 10th in the FIFA ranking following their recent home defeat to Denmark in World Cup qualifying.

The squad:

Forwards: Simão (Atlético Madrid), Danny (Zenit St Petersburg), Nani (Manchester United), Nuno Gomes (Benfica), Yannick Djaló (Sporting), Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen).
As expected, Portugal thrashed the Faroe Isles 5-0 in what was Carlos Queiroz's first game on his return to the Selecção. In front of 22,000 at the Aveiro Municipal Stadium, home of Beira-Mar, Portugal put together a decent first half against the world minnows, but they only saw one goal for their troubles: on 23 minutes, Carlos Martins volleyed goalwards from a corner, his shot was blocked but it fell to him again and his second shot took a deflection past Mikkelsen. Portugal's play was less coherent in the second half but paradoxically they saw a better return in goals. On 48 minutes, Simão scored with a rare header from a Manuel Fernandes cross, and then there was a flurry of goals in the last five minutes: Duda headed in at the back post from a Nani cross, Bruno Alves rifled in a shot from just inside the area after Nani's corner skimmed across the front of the Faroes' tiring defence, and Nani himself got the final goal, slashing home a loose ball from close range. Ultimately it was a good run-out ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Malta, but it was no test for matches against more demanding opponents.The teams lined up: Portugal: Quim, Bosingwa (Miguel 35), Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho (Bruno Alves 55), Antunes, Raul Meireles (Fernando Meira 78), Carlos Martins (Manuel Fernandes 55), Deco (Danny 55), Nani, Hugo Almeida, Simão (Duda 71).
Faroe Isles: Jakup Mikkelsen (Rene Tórgaro 46), Jonas Tór Naes, Johan Davidsen, Egil Á Bo, Leif Niclasen, Atli Danielsen, Barour Olsen (Bogi Lokin 54), Mikkjal Thomassen (Hogni Madsen 78), Hogni Jacobsen (Andreas Lava Olsen 78), Simun Samuelsen (Jákup Á Borg 78), Rogvi Jacobsen.
Portugal's U-21s lost 2-3 at home to the Czech Republic on Tuesday in a friendly to prepare for a vital Euro 2009 qualifier against England on 5 September. Miguel Veloso put Portugal in front on four minutes, Holek equalised on 26 and Hélder Barbosa restored Portugal's lead on the stroke of time. But Portugal collapsed in the second half and fell to goals by Strestik from the spot and Reznicek in a three-minute spell midway through the half. Inter Milan midfielder Pelé was sent off with a direct red for foul play on 69 minutes. Portugal will need to take their game up a fair few notches before their trip to England.
The teams lined up:
Portugal: Rui Patrício (Ricardo Batista 46), Vasco Fernandes (Miguel Lopes 46), Nuno André Coelho (Gonçalo Brandão 46), Manuel da Costa, Vítor Vinha, Miguel Veloso, Pelé, Paulo Machado (Pereirinha 46), Vieirinha (Candeias 46 and Castro 80), Vaz Tê (Saleiro 65), Hélder Barbosa (Bruno Gama 58).
Czech Republic: Svenger (Divis 46), Kudela, Simunek (Reznicek 46), Mazuch, Svec (Moraceek 86), Holeck (Vacek 65), Suchy, Janda, Jeslínek, Strestik (Horava 65), Pekhart (Jablonsky 46).

Carlos Queiroz has been appointed Portugal coach, taking over from Luíz Felipe Scolari, now at Chelsea. Alex Ferguson's former assistant at Manchester United signs for four years ... up to Euro 2012. Queiroz's first game in charge will be a friendly against the Faroe Islands in Aveiro on 20 August.
The Selecção will be back together on 18 August ahead of a friendly to be played on the 20th (opponent to be decided). On 2 September, Portugal play their first qualifying game for the World Cup 2010 in Malta, and on the 6th they receive Denmark.

After a meeting of the heads of the Portuguese Football Federation on Thursday, president Gilberto Madaíl was given carte blanche to chose the new coach of the Selecção, to take over from Luíz Felipe Scolari. The new coach will be thrown in at the deep end, having to qualify Portugal for the 2010 World Cup, beginning in September. Portugal are in Group 1 along with Malta, Sweden, Albania, Denmark and Hungary. Portugal play Malta away first, then Denmark at home.
Brazil want to play Portugal in a friendly to inaugurate the newly renovated Estádio do Gama (22,000) in the capital Brasilia. The game, which needs the ok from the Portuguese Football Federation, would be played on 11 November.
FPF president Gilberto Madaíl has given a clue as to the coach who will take over from Luíz Felipe Scolari: "It's important that he speaks Portuguese, but that doesn't mean to say that he is Portuguese or of Portuguese nationality." There have been rumours that Brazilian Zico, who recently left Turkish side Fenerbahce, may be the man.
After the defeat against Germany, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that he is to have an operation on a foot, which he says has been troubling him for around three months.
Portugal coach Luíz Felipe Scolari, who has been with the Selecção since January 2003, will take over from Avram Grant at Chelsea. From the Chelsea website:
"Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Luiz Felipe Scolari will be the club's new manager from July 1, 2008.
Felipe has great qualities. He is one of the world's top coaches with a record of success at country and club level, he gets the best out of a talented squad of players and his ambitions and expectations match ours. He was the outstanding choice.
Out of respect for his current role as Head Coach of the Portuguese national team, and to ensure minimum disruption to this work, there will be no further comment from Chelsea FC nor from Felipe about his new role until his employment with us commences."
Portugal beat Georgia 2-0 in front of around 8,000 at the Estádio do Fontelo in Viseu Saturday, in what was the last serious practice match before Portugal face Turkey in their opening Euro 2008 match next Saturday. It was one-way traffic for most of the game, the result constructed in the first half with a goal from Moutinho from outside the area on 19 minutes and a crisp penalty from Simão on 45 after he had been brought down running onto a perfect Petit through ball. Portugal had other chances to extend their lead, hitting the bar twice in quick succession from a Crisitano Ronaldo free kick, followed up by Ricardo Carvalho, and once again in the second half through Ricardo Quaresma.
Portugal looked more together in the first half, with Deco, Bosingwa and Simão especially combining well down the right. Cristiano Ronaldo and Nuno Gomes, on the other hand, had scrappy and anonymous halves, respectively. With wholesale changes for the second half (only Rui Patrício and Jorge Ribeiro were not used), Portugal lost a lot of cohesion and were relying more on the individual inspiration of, notably, Ricardo Quaresma, Nani and Miguel.
Portugal: Ricardo (Quim 46), Bosingwa (Miguel 62), Pepe (Fernando Meira 62), Ricardo Carvalho (Bruno Alves 46), Paulo Ferreira, João Moutinho (Hugo Almeida 72) Petit (Miguel Veloso 46), Deco (Raul Meireles 46), Cristiano Ronaldo (Nani 46), Nuno Gomes, Hélder Postiga (62), Simão (Quaresma 46)Geórgia: Girogi Loria, Ucha Lobjanidze, Levan Tskitishvili (Irakli Klimiashvili 46), Rati Aleksidze, Alexander Iashvili (Davit Devdariani 46), Levan Kobiashvili (Beka Gotsiridze 46), Zurab Khizanishvili, Malkhaz Asatiani (Amiran Sanaia 67), Zurab Menteshashvili, Levan Kenia (Revaz Barabadze 67), Giorgi Navalovski (Giorgi Merebashvili (81)
Portugal coach Luíz Felipe Scolari said after the game: "I'm satisfied mainly with what I saw in the first half. In the second, we did some things that we can take advantage of in the future. But we failed in that each player wanted to get the ball and take it home
. We should have more possession. We need to train with two strikers, like we had in the last 25 minutes. We were weaker in midfield and we have to re-think some things in this respect."
Cristiano Ronaldo said that he will announce his club intentions for next season in two or three days' time; real Madrid have been keen to sign the Manchester United star. FC Porto's Ricardo Quaresma said: "It's time to leave [FCP]. I've expressed this wish on several occasions. Let's see what happens." Deco, on his way out of Barcelona, said: "I want to be at a good club ... the situation is not dependent upon my performance at the Euro, but I want to have a good championship and win because that's our objective."
Luís Figo and Fernando Couto have been named official ambassadors of the Selecção. Both players represented Portugal over 100 times.
Portugal has a squad with one of the lowest average ages in the Euro 2008, competition: 26.35. Italy has the highest, with 29.57.
Portugal has 11 players that played in the domestic league this season. Croatia has just two, Russia 22.
Deco and Miguel are currently unable to train because of physical problems at Portugal's pre-Euro training camp in Viseu. Real Madrid's central defender Pepe only arrived on Wednesday evening, while Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, along with Ricardo Carvalho and Paulo Ferreira of Chelsea, are due to arrive on Friday.
National coach Luíz Felipe Scolari announced his quad for the European Championship on Monday. Relative surprises are the exclusion of Maniche and Marco Caneira, Miguel Veloso and Jorge Ribeiro, Maniche's brother, coming in. Also out is the Benfica striker Makukula, who hasn't been playing regularly for his club.

National Team coach Luíz Felipe Scolari has denied that there have been any contacts between him and Manchester City with a view to his taking over the reins of the English Premier League club when Sven Goran Eriksson. He has said that he will not be thinking about his future until after Portugal's presence at EURO 2008.
The British Sunday Times has suggested that Manchester City are interested in Portugal coach Luíz Felipe Scolari taking over from Sven-Goran Eriksson at the end of the season. Two years ago, Scolari was mooted to take over from Eriksson as England coach.
National Team coach Luiz Felipe Scolari is on a short list of two to take over as Mexico coach after Hugo Sánchez was sacked following Mexico´s failure to qualify for the Olympic Games. The other candidate is Javier Aguirre, coach of Atlético Madrid. Scolari has said that he is only concentrating on Portugal's presence at Euro 2008.
Portugal were unable to get revenge for the Euro 2004 Final defeat, losing 1-2 to Greece on Wednesday in a friendly played in Düsseldorf. They started poorly, but the injury to Simão and replacement by Moutinho on just 15 minutes improved their play. However, they went behind on 32 minutes, Karagounis getting the first of two goals from free kicks. He got his second on the hour, and Portugal shifted up a gear and began to pour serious pressure on the Greek goal, often with crosses from deep. From one of those crosses by Miguel a quarter of an hour from the end, Hugo Almeida, looking to be in an offside position, headed down for Nuno Gomes to finish well. Scolari was without key players Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani and Deco through injury.
Portugal: Ricardo, Paulo Ferreira, Pepe, Ricardo Carvalho, Caneira, Fernando Meira, Carlos Martins, Miguel Veloso, Ricardo Quaresma, Simão, Nuno Gomes. Also: João Moutinho, Bruno Alves, Miguel, Hugo Almeida, Jorge Ribeiro, Raul Meireles. Greece: Nikopolidis, Patzatzoglou, Antzas, Kyrgiakos, Torosidis, Basinas, Karagounis, Katsouranis, Amanatidis, Charisteas, Gekas. Also: Giannakopoulos, Seitaridis, Samaras, Goumas, Salpingidis."The team was reasonable in some aspects," said Scolari. "In some situations, we were able to assess some players who came on during the game; they weren't surprising, but their attitudes were positive. I think we've won a couple of players for the European Championship
Greece were more more efficient than us ... The two teams had the same control of the ball, and the game was decided with two free kicks
Carlos Martins was good. He got into the thick of it, worked the ball well, he tried to lose his marker and covered when necessary. Jorge Ribeiro was also good, despite being on less time than Carlos Martins."
Nuno Gomes was a little less positive: "We didn't put in the performance we wanted to, but we have to lift our heads up and think of the European Championship."
Portugal's Under 21s had more luck at home to Bulgaria in Group 3 of qualification for Euro 2009, goals from João Moreira and Saleiro in a two -minute period midway through the second half providing a 2-0 win.
Portugal lined up:
Ricardo Baptista, Pereirinha, Vasco Fernandes, Manuel da Costa, Antunes, Manuel Fernandes, Pelé (Hélder Barbosa 63), Paulo Manchado, Vieirinha, João Moreira (Celestino 80), Bruno Gama (Saleiro 46).
Former Sporting midfielder Carlos Martins, of Spanish side Recreativo de Huelva, is the surprise choice of National Team coach Luíz Felipe Scolari for the friendly against Greece in Düsseldorf, Germany, next Wednesday. "I've watched him and thought that he could be part of this group. He's one of the players who could play in Deco's position. Let's see his response, if he gets the chance to play." Martins' last appearance for Portugal was against Kazakhstan on 15 November 2006.
Also returning after the side's mini disaster (0-3) against Italy are João Moutinho, Miguel Veloso, Pepe, Miguel, Simão and Nuno Gomes. Quim, Bosingwa, Deco, Petit, Maniche and Makukula are left out this time.Scolari stressed that this is not the definitive squad for this summer's European Championship: "The final list will only come out on 12 May . Until then we have to analyse the players' form but also their fitness, because there are a lot of games to play. We'll have to wait because the final stages of the championships, the Champions League and the UEFA Cup are going to be taking place between now and May.
The squad: Goalkeepers: Ricardo (Bétis), Rui Patrício (Sporting);Defenders: Bruno Alves (FC Porto), Fernando Meira (Stuttgart), Jorge Ribeiro (Boavista), Pepe (Real Madrid), Miguel (Valência), Caneira (Valência), Paulo Ferreira (Chelsea), Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea);Midfielders: Carlos Martins (Recreativo), João Moutinho (Sporting), Miguel Veloso (Sporting), Raul Meireles (FC Porto), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United), Nani (Manchester United), Ricardo Quaresma (FC Porto), Simão (At. Madrid);Forwards: Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen), Nuno Gomes (Benfica).
Juventus central defender Jorge Andrade has undergone an operation for a troublesome knee injury and will be out of the reckoning for this summer's European Championship . Andrade missed the 2006 World Cup for the same reason.
Albania have been banned from competing in FIFA competitions because of interference by the government in the running of the country's football federation. Albania are in Portugal 's qualifying group for the 2010 World Cup, games for which begin in September.
Luiz Felipe Scolari will announce his final squad for the European Championship from Viseu at 20.00 on 12 May.

Portugal disappointed Wednesday against Italy in Zürich, going down 1-3. Portugal had most of the possession, but rarely threatened Amelia's goal. Cristiano Ronaldo especially was under par, along with the starting midfield of Deco, Petit and Maniche, and Benfica's new singing Makukula was completely adrift at the front. It was Ricardo Quaresma, Portugal's best player, who had the chance at his feet to break the deadlock just before half time, but his pass on the break to Cristiano Ronaldo was wayward, the Manchester United forward was forced wide and the situation was lost. Italy, ruthless as always, took this as a prompt to break to the other end, and in added time before the oranges, Luca Toni converted a low cross from the left that had Ricardo and Ricardo Carvalho in a stew in front of goal.
The game was virtually killed five minutes into the second half, the excellent Pirlo turning to hit a loose ball from the edge of the area that deflected off Cannavaro and beat Ricardo at his left-hand post. Quaresma gave Portugal some hopes a quarter of an hour from time, finishing off a Nani cross from the left at the back post , but the hopes lasted for just three minutes: more confusion in the Portugal defence let in sub Quagliarella to give an under-strength Italy a clear and deserved win that will (must) ring loud alarm bells for the Portuguese coach Scolari ("We failed in all departments," he admitted after the game).
Italy: Amelia, Oddo, Barzagli, Cannavaro, Zambrotta, Pirlo, Ambrosini, De Rossi, Palladino, Di Natale, Luca Toni - plus: Grosso, Perrotta, Gamborini, Borriello, Quagliarella, Cassetti.Portugal: Ricardo, Bosingwa, Ricardo Carvalho, Bruno Alves, Caneira, Petit, Maniche, Cristiano Ronaldo, Deco, Quaresma, Makukula - plus: Nani, Paulo Ferreira, Fernando Meira, Hugo Almeida, Raul Meireles, Jorge Ribeiro.
National Team coach Luíz Felipe Scolari has been in the job since 2003: "These five years have been very positive
if they hadn't been, it wouldn't have been five years," he told reporters Monday. His first game was against Italy in Genoa on 12 February 2003, which Portugal lost 0-1. On the day, the team was:
Ricardo, Ricardo Rocha (Luís Loureiro), Fernando Meira, Fernando Couto (Jorge Andrade), Sérgio Conceição (Paulo Ferreira), Tiago (Hélder Postiga), Rui Costa (Pedro Mendes), Nuno Valente (Rui Jorge), Luís Figo, Simão (Luís Boa Morte), Pauleta (Miguel).
Nuno Gomes was injured in Benfica's 0-0 draw against Nacional at the weekend and has been replaced in the squad for Wednesday's game against Italy in Zürich by Werder Bremen striker Hugo Almeida.
The Portuguese Football Federation received 18,000 application forms for EURO 2008 tickets, representing a total of 173,000 tickets. There will be a draw in February to see who the lucky applicants are.
Luís Felipe Scolari has named his squad to play Italy in the friendly of 6 February in Zürich, at the sure-to-be sold-out Estádio Letzigrund. A surprise is the début call-up of Sporting's young goalkeeper Rui Patrício and the absence of players like Miguel Veloso and João Moutinho (Sporting), Miguel (Valência), Manuel Fernandes (Everton), Tiago (Juventus), Hugo Almeida (Werder Bremen), Pepe (Real Madrid) and Simão (Atlético Madrid), although the last two are not match fit.
The full squad:
Goalkeepers: Ricardo (Bétis), Quim (Benfica), Rui Patrício (Sporting);Defenders: Bosingwa and Bruno Alves (FC Porto), Caneira (Valência), Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Carvalho (Chelsea), Fernando Meira (Stuttgart), Jorge Ribeiro (Boavista); Midfielders: Petit (Benfica), Raul Meireles (FC Porto), Maniche (Inter milan), Deco Deco (FC Barcelona);Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani (Manchester United), Ricardo Quaresma (FC Porto), Nuno Gomes (Benfica), Makukula (Marítimo).
Miguel Veloso, João Moutinho and Manuel Fernandes have been called up by coach Rui Caçador to the U-21 squad that will take part in the 8th Tagus Valley Tournament, which Portugal kick off on 5 February in Abrantes against Scotland. The next day they will play against either Sweden or Ukraine.
AS Roma: Antunes;Belenenses: Gonçalo Brandão;Bolton Wanderers: Vaz Té;Estrela da Amadora: Celestino and Rui Pedro;Everton: Manuel Fernandes;Fátima: Saleiro;Fulham: Ricardo Batista; FC Porto: Hélder Barbosa and Ventura;Inter: Pelé;Leixões: Paulo Machado and Vieirinha;PSV Eindhoven: Manuel da Costa;Penafiel: Guedes;Portimonense: Nuno André Coelho;Rio Ave: Miguel Lopes; Salamanca: Vasco Fernandes;Sporting: João Moutinho, Miguel Veloso and Bruno Pereirinha; Zaglebie Lubin (Poland): Tiago Gomes.
The Selecção will have their final training camp before Euro 2008 in the small city of Viseu, in the centre of Portugal. They will stay at the Hotel Montebelo from 18 May until 31 May and play a friendly on 31 May against a team yet to be announced.
Luíz Felipe Scolari said Thursday that he has "85 or 90%" of the squad for Euro 2008 decided. And he issued a warning: "Those players that are two or three kilos overweight with a fat arse and are worried about other things, like nightlife or the catwalk, could miss the bus
I'm watching games, I read interviews, I'm studying [the players]
that's a warning."
Manuel José, back in Portugal for ten days from Egypt where he coaches Al-Ahly, was asked whether he would be in the running for the job of National Team coach after the European Championship: "I can't wait forever for the Selecção," he said.
An on-line petition has achieved the total number of signatures it set out to achieve: over 7,000 have signed it to call for Inter Milan's Luís Figo's return to the Selecção in time for this summer's European Championship.
Website maisfutebol has begun a survey to find the most popular choices for the 23-man European Championship squad. (results so far)
Players' Union president Joaquim Evangelista met with FPF president Gilberto Madaíl to protest about the inclusion in the national squad of naturalised players . "Portugal have enough players of quality to represent the Selecção," he said. " Nothing against foreigners, but I just think we have players in Portugal that can defend our colours and identity with the same quality." Deco and Pepe are two Brazilian players that have been naturalised in recent years and have represented the country. Sporting's Brazilian striker Liedson is another player who it has been mooted could join them. Evangelista also brought up the issue of what he believes is an inordinate number of foreign players in the Portuguese league.

Wanda Fortune, one of victims of last Thursday night's violent cutlass attack on three females at Sophia, is decrying the slothful response of the police, saying it gives her no confidence even as the alleged attacker continues to make calls to the family promising to finish them off.
"He called saying that we get life like cat and that he coming back to finish we off… but it makes no sense trying with police because on the night of the attack I called several times and even after we were left for dead four different neighbours went to the station before they came," the 26-year-old lawyer told Stabroek News on Friday.
Fortune, her mother Dorothy Blackman, her younger sister Donette Fordyce and her two-year-old niece Leah Thomas were brutally chopped after Shawn Fordyce went berserk and launched the cutlass attack. Blackman is his wife, while Fortune is his step daughter.
Blackman and her daughter Donette remain patients in the High Dependence Unit (HDU) of the Georgetown Public Hospital, while Fortune and her two-year-old niece were given medical treatment and discharged to return for follow-up visits.
Fortune is the third of Blackman's six children. She currently works with the Legal Aid Clinic. She was last October admitted to the bar and gave a memorable speech about overcoming odds to achieve her degree. She had praised her mother, a newspaper vendor, who took time out to mentor her and was her rock throughout her journey. She is the first in her family to have made it so far academically and had hoped others would emulate her.
On Friday, as she recalled the terrifying ordeal, the young lawyer said that she believed that her stepfather had meant to "wipe out" his entire household of eight and that his act was premeditated as he had hidden the cutlass before the attack. In addition, she said that all night the man was making snide remarks about the family.
The attack occurred soon after her mother had indicated that she was going out. The man kept muttering to himself, Fortune recalled. "It was about 9.30pm and mom was preparing to go out with her sister and a friend and he started quarrelling, telling her that she should stay home. She at first began complaining that he never took her anywhere and when they were invited out he turned down every request," Fortune said.
Nonetheless, her mother indicated to her father that she would once again stay home. She did, however, leave with her two-year-old granddaughter in hand to purchase a phone card from the shop next door.
"I was in my room and when I came out I saw Donette bloodied and screaming telling me to run that he wanted to kill us," Fortune recalled. She said that her sister collapsed shortly after and just after she saw her cutlass-wielding stepfather, who then began chasing her and threatening to end her life, she fled. However, he soon caught up with her and chopped her twice, after which the cutlass fell out of his hands. She said he held on to her dress as he reached to the floor scrambling to grab the weapon. Thinking quickly, Fortune pulled the dress over her head, leaving it in her stepfather's hand as she ran in a semi-nude state to her neighbour's house. The man kept screaming that he will "done everybody dance tonight" and "teach all a y'all a lesson" as he continued searching for his weapon. It was only after a brave neighbour armed himself with a cutlass and confronted Fordyce that the man fled the scene.
From there, Fortune said that the neighbours began calling for the police but all the numbers rang out. She said that different neighbours rushed to the station but it was only after the fourth person had informed them that there was a possible triple homicide that they arrived. "When I was in my room I had been began calling for the police even before the attack, dialling, redialling, all the while and never get them. Another man ran there and they told him to come back at around 2am and make a report…. You mean four times and only when they think is death they are going to come? The police has to do better than this," she said.
Even the vehicle used by police to travel to the scene was defective as it soon developed mechanical problems.
Asked if her stepfather had displayed violent tendencies before, Fortune said no, but noted that after her admission to the bar his attitude changed and he began verbally abusing her mother, saying she was no longer dependent on him. "He would always throw remarks at her, you know, saying, 'Yuh daughter tun lawyer now yuh getting yuh money real. You don't need me.' And it seemed that he was angry that I had made the bar," she said.
Fortune believes that her stepfather, who originally hails from Belladrum, Berbice, will return to kill her family and she is pleading with the police to intensify their search for the man.
Police have said that investigations are continuing into the incident.

Love the app.
How about position recovery? Sometimes I accidentally hit the episode position slider and lose my position in a podcast, a way to recover my position would be great! Maybe a button appears at the top for 10 seconds when skipping a podcast forward or back, if it was a mistake, you could hit it and go back.
Position Recovery

Re: Position Recovery
Ditto, great app but I agree with Paulh. I would even appreciate a simple total lock screen to prevent accidental bumps affecting the position or a double touch to enact a position change or podcast change. Thanks!

Upstate pro cyclist says goodbye to racing
Upstate pro cyclist says goodbye to racing
An Upstate pro-cyclist is calling it quits.
George Hincapie ended his pro cycling career Sunday in Colorado.
Hincapie's career began in 1994 and along the way he has won the US Pro-Championship multiple times.
Hincapie also won a stage of the Tour de France and set the record for all-time starts in cycling's biggest race.
"It's all I've done for such a long time. 30 years now riding, almost 20 professionally. I will miss the sport a lot and hope to stay close to it in some respects, but I'm also excited to be more of a family man, spend more time with my kids, my wife and everybody at home," Hincapie said.

Red-tailed hawk (Buteo jamaicensis)
The Red-tailed Hawk is one of the most widely distributed hawks in the Americas. It breeds from central Alaska, the Yukon, and the Northwest Territories east to southern Quebec and the Maritime Provinces of Canada, and south to Florida, the West Indies, and Central America. The winter range stretches from southern Canada south throughout the remainder of the breeding range.
The Red-tailed Hawk is widespread in North America, partially due to historic settlement patterns, which have benefited it. The clearing of forests in the Northeast created hunting areas, while the preservation of woodlots left the species with viable nest sites. The planting of trees in the west allowed the Red-tailed Hawk to expand its range by creating nest sites where there had been none. The construction of highways with utility poles alongside treeless medians provided perfect habitat for perch-hunting. Unlike some other raptors, the Red-tailed Hawk are seemingly unfazed by considerable human activity and can nest and live in close proximity to large numbers of humans. Thus, the species can also be found in cities, where common prey such as rock pigions and brown rats may support their populations.
The Red-tailed Hawk is carnivorous, and an opportunistic feeder. Its diet is mainly small mammals, but it also includes birds and reptiles. Prey varies with regional and seasonal availability, but usually centers on rodents, comprising up to 85% of a hawk's diet.
A male Red-Tailed Hawk may weigh from 690 to 1,300 g (24 to 46 oz), with a mean weight of 1,030 g (36 oz), and measure 45–60 cm (18–24 in). A female can weigh between 900 and 2,000 g (32 and 71 oz), averaging 1,220 g (43 oz), and measure 48 to 65 cm (19 to 26 in) long.
The Red-tailed Hawk reaches sexual maturity at two years of age. It is monogamous, mating with the same individual for many years. In general, the Red-tailed Hawk will only take a new mate when its original mate dies. The same nesting territory may be defended by the pair for years.
The pair constructs a stick nest in a large tree 4 to 21 m (13 to 69 ft) off the ground or on a cliff ledge 35 m (115 ft) or higher above the ground, or may nest on man-made structures. The nest is generally 71 to 97 cm (28 to 38 in) in diameter and can be up to 90 cm (3.0 ft) tall. The nest is constructed of twigs, and lined with bark, pine needles, corn cobs, husks, stalks, aspen catkins, or other plant lining matter.

US Dollar Index catch leg up from ECB
Yesterday's dovish ECB managed to have a profound effect upon the US Dollar Index, which saw a major move higher yesterday. The Dollar Index comprises of six weighted currencies against the US dollar, yet the weighting is heavily towards the euro, which makes up 57.6% of the index. This explains the size of this move yesterday and the fact that euro volatility will heavily affect this market. Thus as the PMI readings come out this morning, we are likely to see movement with strong readings treated as Dollar Index negative while weak readings would boost the index.
We have since seen the index drift lower in a flag formation, and as such I expect to see another leg higher soon. Downside support is provided by the Fibonacci levels of 23.6% ($96.40) and 38.2% ($96.19).
We may have to wait for the PMI readings to all be announced, but ultimately I expect a resolution towards the upside, with a move back to $96.89.

I'm back.
I started this blog in the midst of preparing SPM. (I have no idea why)
Reading back all the posts made me feel like I did and did not grow up along the way.
Back then,
I was self-centered and wanted to share things as much as I can.
I was positive and yet negative.
I was immature.
I was such a spoilt brat.
I was annoying.
I was dependent.
I was naive.
I was lost and yet confidently facing the future.
All those memories,
remind me that Ancora Impora is important.
Keep learning. Keep improving and don't stop at a point.
I am still lost but reading back the old memories reignites me.
Guess what, my verbal diarrhea is not here anymore.
This blog will come to an end and there will be a start of new chapter.
Bye. Yin Xian. Hi. Emi.
I hope my 'england' have not upset you yet :p

Why am I inactive for about a month
I thought when I started working, I would have more time to blog, especially when I'm waiting for my turn to meet doctor. -.- but no, I have to do my research on penetrating new products- looking at the medicine rack to search for competitor's products or chat with the nurses to get more tips in getting the sales. I'm more hardworking when I have to chase my sales. -.- eg: this month. Due to the one week holiday in Japan, now I have to work double to match the target. A bit tough, but I would not give up until the last day.
Anyway, update would be even slow as my laptop decided to break down. Sigh. Getting a new one because repair fee is high.

Starbound Revisited
This past weekend, I spent a majority of my time playing Starbound with a few of my friends. Even though we had already played and beat this game, those friends were wanting to revisit this sandbox, side-scrolling adventure. These are my Starbound Revisited thoughts.
When you go to game's page in the Steam store, you can find the Community Hub button. From there you can find discussions, screenshots, fan art and so much more from your favorite games. Yet some Community Hubs have a special little button called Workshop. In Workshop, you can find fan created content to add to your game.
There are things like new weapons, backgrounds, mechs, songs to add to musical instruments and so much more. So far, there are 3,252 items posted in the Workshop. However, when you download those items, be sure to backup your saved files for previous characters.
The Feels
I'm so glad my friend discovered these fan made additions to Starbound. It made revisiting the game so much more fun and unique. There was even a whole new world we found in the workshop items. My favorite thing would have to be the expanded song list for the musical instruments.
If you didn't know, you can find guitars, a microphone and other random musical instruments in this game. This was even original content. Yet, fans added more songs into the song bank. Some of these songs are even from anime and TV shows. I was most excited for the Gravity Falls theme song. I just recently watched that show and it is amazing.
If anything, Starbound is a lot of fun. Click here for my earlier blog about this wonderful game. However, the workshops create even more of a unique experience. These fans are amazing and so creative.

This is a simple trick to make your folder looks like system file or blank file where you can store your personal files without others thinking that it is a folder.
Make a new folder on your desktop or anywhere.
Then rename it. While renaming "hold alt and press 255 from numpad then enter.
As you can see, the folder was renamed with blank name.
Then right click on that folder and select properties.
Go to "Customized" tab and select change "Icon"
Then scroll to the right until you see the blank area in the icon lists.
Click the blank area and then click "Ok"
That's all.. As you can see the folder now looks like a blank file. Now no one thinks that this is a folder unless they click it :)))
nice trick
thx for share
Nice trick, you're a little fox (assuming that foxes are really there in the Philippines).
I bet you could set the folder as hidden and encrypted.
But a good inventory of the contents of the hard drive could reveal its contents.
Thanks for the indication, spicy :)
