Well I for one am still here and not planning on going anehrywe, unless of course you drag me kicking and screaming.. no wait no one could take me that way.. Ok under heavy sedation but then I would just come to and stalk you down again bwhahahah.. Anyway, sweetie let me tell you this. Just like God will put people in your path to teach you, the devil puts them in your path to hinder you. He thinks that if he pulls people out that you think are your friends, you will panic and break your neck to 'fix' it and get them back. Learn that people don't like dealing with the truth of who they are when it is in their face. We just don't and we often see things in people so easily because we are just like that. Let them go, pray for them and continue to be the awesomeness that is YOU

Nick Markakis doesn't want your sympathy, though he definitely deserves some.
The guy suffered through so many of those terrible years when the Orioles organization was wandering through the desert, and then he had to sit in the dugout last October and watch his teammates enjoy the team's first playoff run since 1997.
That's just not fair. Markakis has been the good soldier since he broke in with the Orioles in 2006. He has led by example. He has provided production and stability in an otherwise dysfunctional environment for most of his career. He is, by any measure, a terrific player and solid human who deserves the best that professional baseball has to offer.

So, he could certainly be forgiven for cursing the fates after a pair of freak injuries basically cut his season into thirds and the second one cost him the thing that every true gamer wants more than money or fame — the chance to go for the ring.
Markakis knows what he missed, but he doesn't think it's fair to the players who battled their way to the playoffs without him to make too much of his inability to join them in their postseason quest.
"You can't look at it that way,'' he said. "Everything happens for a reason and a lot of people get injured. Some teams' best players are injured going into the playoffs, but that's the whole purpose of the team. It's a team sport and Nate [McLouth] did a good job of filling in when I went down, so it's hard to say what could have happened. Hopefully, we'll move on and get further this year."
These things are true. McLouth moved into the leadoff spot after New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia broke Markakis' left thumb with an inside pitch in early September. McLouth did a fine job both at the plate and in the outfield, so it's impossible to say what would have happened if Markakis had not gotten hurt, but it's fair to say that — on balance — the Orioles are a much better team with Markakis in the lineup than without.
But it goes way beyond that. Markakis is more than just the Orioles right fielder and the smooth hitter who jumpstarted the Orioles lineup when he moved into the leadoff spot last year. He's one of those heart-and-soul guys whose spirit runs through the entire clubhouse, so his loss was felt both on and off the field and his disappointment was felt by all of his teammates.
Manager Buck Showalter still gets a little emotional thinking about it. He remembers when Markakis came back to the dugout with his hand in a soft cast on that devastating night. Showalter isn't really the type to give hugs, but he walked over and put his arm around Markakis and tried to console him.
"I'd like to say it was painful for me, but you can imagine how painful it was for him,'' Showalter said. "I was watching something the other day of the postgame in Texas and Nicky was the first guy on the field [to congratulate his teammates after their American League wild card playoff victory]. A lot of these guys have been here for their whole professional career. The Orioles mean something to them and that's pretty cool."
That's why Markakis, who acknowledges how miserable it was to be on the outside looking in during the club's uplifting playoff run, voices no regret about last season, other than the fact that it came to an end a couple of playoff rounds too soon.
"All around, it was a good year team-wise, but it was tough for all of us at the end,'' he said. "I think my injury at the end kind of sent me overboard a little bit more than other guys because we know the season ended and it didn't end the way we wanted it to end. But you always have a next year, and I think guys realize that. We learned from it. I think guys are much more motivated to get back where we were and get further."
For all the offseason criticism the front office took for not adding a big bat to the Orioles lineup for the 2013 season, you can make the case that the Orioles will be improved anyway. Markakis is healthy and knocking the cover off the ball in early workouts. The Orioles also hope to have Brian Roberts back after three years of injuries and frustration, and left fielder Nolan Reimold back after neck surgery.
Markakis admits that the offseason felt way too long for a change.
"I would probably say I'm the only one who wanted to get here quicker than anybody else,'' he said. "Like I said a hundred times, stuff like that happens and you just got to learn how to deal with it. You move on, and hopefully later on there won't be any more instances like this, but you can't predict it. It's a game and things happen. It motivated me to get back quicker from these injuries, from the time I lost during the season. I was eager to get here and I'm ready."
Showalter kind of figured he would feel that way. Markakis is a ballplayer, and we're talking about more than the dictionary definition of that.
"I don't want to say it's a whole new Nick,'' Showalter said. "He's always engaged. He's always getting ready. He's always professional. He's always a good teammate. But this year, you can tell he's really excited to be back playing baseball and having the season in front of him."

MAY: Green Thumbs
It's that time of year again... time to get outside and get our hands dirty! We'll be planting (and eating from!) the Chabot garden, learning all about the parts of plants, including which parts are the tastiest, and experimenting to discover what our plants need in order to grow.
- Day 1 - May 6: From Seeds to Sprouts
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
To kick off our Green Thumbs unit, let's start at the beginning... with seeds! We'll dissect seeds to find out what's inside, set up an experiment to test what our seeds need in order to sprout, and plant seeds to take home.
- Day 2 - May 13: Soil and Worms and Compost, Oh My!
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
Join us this week as we take a closer look at the different types of soils that our plants need to grow. Then investigate a special type of compost made by our very own Chabot worms! Help us feed our worms, and make nutritious worm tea to fertilize our plants.
- Day 3 - May 20: Planting in the Garden
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
Practice planting seeds in egg cartons to take home, and then put your new skills to work in our Chabot garden! Help our garden grow by planting seeds and starter plants and making sure our plants will get enough sun, water, and nutrients.
- Day 4 - May 27: Edible Garden
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
It's time to enjoy the fruits (and vegetables!) of our labor! This week, we'll harvest edible plants in the Chabot garden and sample roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds from other plants. Which plant parts do you like the best?
JUNE: Engineering and Design, Round 2
This month is all about you... and your engineering skills! Exercise your brain through a series of design challenges that put your creativity to the test! Can you construct a miniature playground with play equipment that actually works? What about a bridge or building that won't fall over... even if you shake it? Can you design a mini bedroom complete with working lights and switches?
- Day 1 - June 10: Playground Design Challenge
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
Help! There is a miniature city at Chabot Space & Science Center with children who need your creativity and ingenuity! They have found a park but it's missing all the swings, slides, and toys. Can you design and build a new mini playground full of working play equipment for the children?
- Day 2 - June 17: Shake, Rattle, and Roll!
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
Put your civil engineering skills to the test this week as you design your own houses, bridges, and buildings, and then shake, rattle, and roll them on our shake tables! Can you build a structure that won't topple over? What features make your building or bridge both strong and flexible at the same time?
- Day 3 - June 24: Electricity Design Challenge
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
After an introduction to electricity and circuits, see if you can make a light bulb turn on using just a battery and tin foil! Then take your engineering a step farther by designing and building a mini bedroom with working lights!
JULY: Solids, Liquids, and Gases, Oh My!
Explore the differences between solids, liquids, and gases this month as you pour, mix, smash and blow.
- Day 1 - July 8: Solid Like a Rock
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
Join us this week as we hunt for solid objects! What kinds of things are solid? How do you know? Can they be mixed? Can you pour them? Can they be smashed? Can you turn something solid into a liquid or turn a liquid into a solid?
- Day 2 - July 15: Go With the Flow
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
This week we'll investigate liquids of all kinds! Do they all pour the same way? Can you smash a liquid? Do they all mix? What will happen if you mix a solid and a liquid together?
- Day 3 - July 22: BubbleFest!
(10am, 1pm or 3pm)
What better way to explore gases than by playing with bubbles? Not only will we experiment with traditional bubbles and bubble makers using gas from our own lungs, but we'll also make gas and bubbles by mixing chemicals and even use bubbles to make art!

A day spent on the water is a quintessential experience when travelling to Newfoundland & Labrador. Set sail from St. John's harbour and witness the world's largest concentration of humpback whales, 12,000 year old icebergs and elegant seabirds feeding in our coastal waters. Iceberg Quest's award winning tour has been departing from St. John's and Twillingate showcasing Newfoundland's unique charm for over a decade. I sat down down with Captain Barry Rogers for an unforgettable hour as he regaled me with tales of his childhood on the water, the beginnings of Iceberg Quest and a sneak peek of some of their new product offerings for 2014.

Cruise Nunatsiavut in Labrador to experience unique aboriginal culture and breathtaking Arctic scenery. Find yourself in the adventures and mysteries of the Labrador Inuit as you cruise through their homeland.
The Northern Ranger ferry service links the small, remote communities of Nunatsiavut during the summer months with a 5-day return trip: Happy Valley-Goose Bay to Nain. Passengers have a choice of accommodations ranging from a dormitory bunk to a deluxe cabin with ensuite.
The return trip affords you a rare opportunity to learn the history and culture of this region and the Labrador Inuit lifstyle. During each community visit you will witness how vibrant traditions and culture resonate within modern communities; all under the backdrop of a wild and majestic sub-arctic Labrador environment that profoundly contrasts with the island of Newfoundland.

A local couple explored every kilometre of the East Coast Trail. All 265 of them. Living in Portugal Cove, they had convenient access to the East Coast Trail -- but never lost their entusiasm and sense of awe as they travelled in just past their own backyard.

I felt like an alien. I was in a full piece black neoprene wet suit complete with hood, sitting in Ocean Quest's Zodiac listening to Holly Stanley my tour guide for the next three hours. We were headed out of Petty Harbour into the Atlantic Ocean to do something I did not even realize was possible. We were about to go snorkeling with whales.

The next day Sunday, July 14 we headed for St. Anthony were we had booked with the Northland Discovery Boat Tour (http://www.discovernorthland.com/) . Since we had a 1:00 pm sailing, we decided to see the Grenfell Interpretation Centre (www.grenfell-properties.com) which is close to the boat tour wharf. The Grenfell Interpretation Centre tells the amazing story of Dr. Grenfell and his selfless devotion to the health care and general wellbeing of the people of southern Labrador and the Northern Peninsula.

On our most recent trip to this part of Central Newfoundland we stayed at the luxurious Riverwood Inn (http://www.riverwoodinn.ca/) which received the "Accommodator of the Year" award for 2011 from Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador. It has a spectacular setting overlooking the Indian River and has walking trails that start right from its front door. When we asked Tracey Penney, the Inn's manager about what to see in the local area she recommended checking out "glassy beach", the local Springdale hiking trails and King's Point pottery in King's Point.

The Central Newfoundland whale pavilions, a truly beautiful place, revealing the absolute beauty of our back yard mammals. With twenty-two different species of whales living in our waters, the Central Newfoundland whale pavilions in Triton and Kings Point take full advantage of what nature has brought to our shores. The Huxter family takes a quick dive into what is offered and takes time to investigate the marvelous creatures.

We are big fans of traditional Newfoundland music whether it be "I'se the Bye" or a song from the Northern Peninsula that we might never have previously heard. Neddy Norris Night is Theatre Newfoundland Labrador's popular musical night and it takes on a different flavour depending on who is the musical director that year.

One Friday morning this past August we started our journey to the Great Northern Peninsula in search of what everyone was talking about, the icebergs that broke off of the Petermann Glacier in August, 2010. Iceberg season on the Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland typically begins in late May however it was closer to the end of July before icebergs began to arrive this year. These late arrivals were due to the 280 square kilometre ice island that broke off of the Petermann Glacier near Greenland last August. The late arrival was not the only surprise this year, the sheer size and large number of bergs was also quite astonishing. Reports indicated that over seventy-five icebergs could be seen in the St Anthony area and that's what we were setting out to see.

Frolicking on a beach in Newfoundland and Labrador doesn't always top the list of must do's when visiting the province. Much less during the month of December! But a trip to King's Point and area reveals a beach that can be enjoyed any time of the year.

Of all my travels around Newfoundland this summer, visiting Prime Berth Heritage Centre in Twillingate was one of my most memorable experiences. An interactive, interpretative centre created by David Boyd as a tribute to the culture and heritage of his fishing forefathers, Prime Berth is hard to miss as you're driving across the causeway...

As our trip to Newfoundland stretched out before us, I knew I would blog about it and I knew instantly that the theme would be gratitude to the people of Newfoundland. So it's serendipitous that in the last few days I started reading so many words of thanks to the people of Newfoundland from the stranded passengers of 9/11 who were taken into their homes and made to feel like family.

"Remember, give'r till ya shiver," says the man responsible for my safety just before I jump off a boat into freezing water. I've come to the most easterly point in North America in the hope of having an up close and personal experience with whales.

On July 26 – give or take a day or two, depending on weather conditions – about a dozen two-person teams will take the helms of small wooden boats called punts and row 10 miles across open ocean off Newfoundland, Canada.

I once was lost…but now am found. Well, make that, lost in my own time zone! Don't worry, I didn't go off the grid, more like I was operating on Newfoundland time. Yes, interestingly enough – being the easternmost point in North America merits Newfoundland its own special time – a half an hour off kilter with the rest of the world. So, in essence, I was lost in this unique space- time continuum that exists in Newfoundland, Canada. Hence, if you really looking to "get away" [both literally and figuratively] – this is the place to go!

Saturday Stan and I had the good fortune to share some time with a humpback whale in Bull Arm. It had surfaced next to Stan about 200 metres away and before I knew it the whale was under me. I could see the white flippers in the waters beneath my kayak and motioned to Stan to come.

In the music video for "Over," the song's line "If I could light the world we could sit and watch it burn," moves from metaphorical imagery to literal interpretation. Blake Shelton urgently sings about his devotion while surrounded by flames.
The song is the fourth single from Blake's Red River Blue album.

It's the thought that counts. Now you can let it go. 2300 sq ft of yard can easily drink up 5000 cu ft of water in a season, and that's over 35000 gallons.
I live in West Seattle and I'm an accomplished DIY. I'm thinking about putting an irrigation system in my yard so I can water my grass. I would prefer not to use city water to do this so I'm leaning towards using an underground spherical holding tank that would collect my roof's rain runoff. I'm not sure on how big of a tank I would need or how I would hook up my sprinkler system to it?
I've researched NORWESCO tanks and the 300 gallon under ground tank with pump platform looks like the solution but I'm not sure. My roof pitch is 6/12 and its square footage is around 2500. My lot size is around 5000 square feet and maybe 2300 of that would be considered my yard. Would a 300 gallon tank do the job? Would Seattle's rain be able to fill up the tank so I would have enough during Spring and Summer? If so, how do I hook up the sprinkler system to it so the pump can provide the lines with water?
It's the thought that counts. Now you can let it go. 2300 sq ft of yard can easily drink up 5000 cu ft of water in a season, and that's over 35000 gallons.
I have a 1/2 acre lawn. When its 90 plus degrees outside it uses roughly 1600 gallons of water a day. Your lawn is much smaller, so assuming a similar light clay like soil type you would need 177 gallons a day. Sandy soil will require significantly more. I don't think the savings you would realize by using rainwater would offset the cost of just using city water.

ThinkstockGot a dog who's conditioned you to think that his adorable presence is worth living with despite his foul odors? If your pet smells nasty -- on occasion or full-time -- then you probably know exactly what I'm talking about.
The trouble is that it's not enough to know you've got a stinker on your hands. It's in everyone's best interest to do something about the putrid problem, but that's not doable unless you know what's causing the stench.
To help you get to the bottom of your dog's funky smell, here are some common canine stench scenarios and causes.
See Also: Why Does My Dog... Roll Around in Stinky Stuff
If your pet's skin smells reminiscent of rotting fruit or something freshly dug up from deep underground, it's more than likely related to skin disease. Whether it happens year-round or seasonally, pets with skin conditions, like allergic skin disease and parasite infestations, and the secondary bacterial and yeast infections that can accompany them, can give off a serious stink.Is it his ears?
Veterinarians file most smelly ear conditions under skin disease - it's usually tied to allergic skin disease, but it can sometimes be attributed to things as bad as ear canal cancers - but simple ear smell is in a category of its own. I swear my hands will stink of ears all day if I don't double-glove before working on them.Is he gassy?
Many chronic gas-passers are merely exhibiting a mild intolerance to one or more ingredients in their diets. However, specific gastrointestinal conditions could be in play, so the seriously flatulent should see a veterinarian.Is it his anal glands?
These two glands secrete some foul-smelling stuff. Lots of dogs who suffer from anal sac issues are prone to leak the liquid onto their fur, ensuring that the powerful stench follows them everywhere.

Dogs who like to stop, drop and roll at the sight and smell of a rotting carcass or animal feces will stink long past their date with the great outdoors.Is it his breath?
Bad breath is almost always secondary to periodontal disease. But some pets may have bad breath that arises from oral tumors or foreign bodies, stomach gases or the effects of kidney disease -- not necessarily just from bad teeth.Is it a wet dog smell?
Does your dog spend hours in the pool? It's not an uncommon proclivity, especially with Labs and other waterlogged breeds. The problem is that it also causes a wet dog smell that tends to linger.
Whatever the case and cause, there's usually a solution. This may include daily bathing, a diet change, anal gland expression, frequent dental cleanings under anesthesia and even surgery for severely afflicted ears. Just rest assured that if there's a whiff, there's a way.More Stories on Vetstreet.com :

PITTSBURGH—Authorities have identified the 19-year-old man driver who was wounded by a Pittsburgh police officer who was being dragged by the man's car following a traffic stop.
The 26-year-old officer, hired three years ago, reportedly shot Leon Ford three times in the chest after Ford allegedly dragged the officer more than 100 yards Sunday night.
Pittsburgh police say the officer reached in the car when he saw Ford reach for something in the vehicle, prompting a struggle during which Ford drove off.
Police and the Allegheny County District Attorney are reviewing the shooting to determine whether it was justified.
Deputy Chief Paul McDonald contends the officer fired in self-defense.
Police say Ford remains in critical but stable condition at UPMC Presbyterian hospital.
The officer's hand was injured. He remains on paid leave which is routine following shooting incidents.

12 Angry Men presented by CCSU Theatre Department
Oct 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27
What: 12 Angry Men at CCSU Theatre Department
When: Oct 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27 at 7:30 p.m.
Where: Black Box Theater, Maloney Hall, Central Connecticut State University
Tickets: Call CENtix 860-832-1989
Photos: www.theatre.ccsu.edu/pr.html
CCSU Assistant Professor of Theatre Sheila Siragusa delivers up a tension-filled, straight-forward treatment of Reginald Rose's deeply affecting chronicle of civic duty in 12 Angry Men - a beloved favorite of television- and film-lovers since its debut in 1954. The show didn't hit Broadway until 2004, when it won a Drama Desk award.
The New York Times calls the story "as familiar and brisk as a rerun of "Law & Order" in its accumulation of metropolitan details. It observes a cross-section of New Yorkers who gather in a dreary room, one hot summer afternoon, to consider the fate of a 16-year-old boy accused of killing his father."
CCSU's production is distinct in its addition women and people of color in the cast. "It adds interesting depth to an already rock solid play," says Siragusa.
Rose's play deals directly with issues of civic responsibility and educates about the actual role of the jury to maintain the "innocent until proven guilty" dictum. It throws these twelve, radically different individuals, into a hot room and dares them to deal with issues of power, mob mentality, race, class, bigotry, and bullying.
"The intelligence and creative savvy of this particular group of actors are exceptional," Siragusa says, and then adds, "It makes this process very challenging and even a little bit dangerous in a great way."
In a twist that brings real life unusually close to the world of the play, the state of Connecticut will be using footage from CCSU's production to educate jurors about the nature of their duty when they are called to serve.

GreatSchools Rating
The teachers are constantly working to find different ways of having each student improve individually. I refer to this as the individualized Child targeted strategy, and they do this in order to challenge and help if need be the child. This place breeds and nurtures readers. Student's horizon is broaden through music, art and technology.
This is great schools with all great staff.Building is very good and Principle is very good too.
One of our children attended grades 1-6 at Bluffsview and our other 2 are currently students there. Maybe 1 or 2 dud teachers (which we have avoided) but other than that, simply outstanding education. 5 stars. Parental involvement should get 6 stars!
I think Bluffsview is a wonderful school with an outstanding principal, excellent teachers and staff.
its a great school with very experienced teachers and the principal is too supportive
The staff is great and care so much about the well being of the kids.. not just the test scores. (Although they always have fantastic test scores too!)
Academically this school gets a B+ from me; parental involvement is definitely A+; it is a great community. Overall this is a great school. There are some excellent teachers (as well as some duds). Most of the discipline problems are bright kids who are not challenged. I am not surprised to find the steep decline in 3rd grade reading scores as we refer to my childs year with Curry as the lost year. If you think I'm just carping, read the scores and we can both watch them over time.
This is a remarkable school with dedicated teachers and staff.
Strong points include full day kindergarten (at extra monthly cost, but definitely worth it). KG, 1st and 2nd grade teachers are A+, especially Gardiner, Schwarz, Gehring, also Westbrook - all are top notch in every way. For 3rd grade Monroe also an A+/top notch. Very solid support for kids at all levels of ability. Gifted program for 2nd grade on up in Math and Language Arts has top notch faculty (need 95% ACH plus ~98% IQ/Cognitive score- so very small sizes for gifted classes (called 'EPP'), as few as 2 students, up to 6 to 8 or so in some). We live here only because of this school.
Private school curriculum in a public school. I cannot praise it enough.

The Salem News
---- — SALEM — In the days before his girlfriend was due to give birth, prosecutors say, Peter Ronchi wanted a way out.
After all, they say in court papers, he'd recently written a will that provided for the two children he had with his ex-wife, but made no reference to the baby boy that Yuliya Galperina, 42, was about to deliver.
So sometime late on the evening of May 16, 2009, he arrived at Galperina's Salem Heights apartment with a hunting knife. The following morning, Galperina's body was found in a puddle of blood by her other children, ages 8 and 2.
The nearly full-term baby she was carrying, a baby who would have been viable outside the womb, prosecutors say, also died.
But Ronchi's defense lawyers say their client was mentally ill at the time, unable to appreciate that what he was doing was wrong or to understand what he was telling police afterward.
Ronchi's trial on two counts of first-degree murder gets under way tomorrow in Salem Superior Court.
Ronchi, 48, of Marblehead, a Cornell graduate turned struggling massage therapist, confessed to police after his arrest in Connecticut that he'd "snapped" when he learned the child Galperina was carrying was not his.
Prosecutors believe, however, that the baby was, in fact, Ronchi's.
Ronchi's lawyers had tried last year to have his confession tossed out as evidence in the case, arguing, among other things, that Ronchi was suffering from extreme exhaustion at the time as a result of killing Galperina, cleaning up and then driving to Connecticut. By the time he was questioned, he'd been up for at least 24 hours, the lawyers argued last year.
But the statement remains evidence, after Judge David Lowy denied the motion.
Lowy will also preside over the trial, which is expected to last anywhere from two to four weeks.
Both sides have submitted lengthy witness lists.
Among those witnesses is Galperina's son, Mark Altshuler, now 12.
While the boy's name appears on both the witness lists for the prosecution and the defense, it is the defense that has pushed to bring the boy to Massachusetts from Florida, where he now lives with his father, to testify in the case.
Ronchi's attorneys have filed motions for out-of-state subpoenas for the boy and his father, Galperina's ex-husband, intending to call the child to testify about statements he made to investigators about Ronchi's relationship with his mother.
Courts reporter Julie Manganis can be reached at 978-338-2521, via email at firstname.lastname@example.com or on Twitter @SNJulieManganis.

The ACA was controversial and highly political, and the law faced legal challenges reaching all the way to the Supreme Court; it even precipitated a government shutdown. It was a signature piece of legislation for President Obama's first term, and also a ball and chain for his second. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a...

Teresa for Mother Teresa would be nice. I really like the name Thais, which is different, but the connection is nice.
I also always thought if I ever adopted I would name a girl Josephine or Mia or Mia Josephine perhaps! For Mia Farrow & Josephine Baker who both adopted many children. I guess I could add Angelina into the mix now!

The most awesome namesake I have come across is Hypatia. (Love that it is a feminist/intellectual/agnostic hero for those who research it) Unfortunately, I just don't think that is usable because it's so different that I imagine people would have difficulty remembering exactly what the name is. ("Ah, what was her name...it was really odd, but I can't remember...")
I love the Greek goddess names but am too chicken to use them myself: Andromeda (LOVE LOVE), Aphrodite (love), Athena (like), Venus (too bad it rhymes with penis)
Genevieve is so beautiful! And a wonderful namesake as well.
I also love Portia, don't like the connection people make to Porsches, but I like the Shakespearean connections.
Clara Barton is a nice namesake, too.

Portia, Cordelia- characters from Shakespeare

Hypatia. I tested the waters with friends and family some time back when I got a kitten, and asked what names they liked (I gave them a list of some of my favorites). Hypatia wasn't liked by any of them, and I found out that most of them were saying it wrong, which may have factored into it. Shrug. I love it, but now I know most people do not. They all loved Pandora, however, which made me happy.
If I didn't give a hoot what the world thought of my daughters, I'd use the name of a woman from long ago:
Boudicca, the queen
Hildegard, the poet
Hypatia, the philosopher
Sappho, the poet
or fictional inspirational females:
Anne, from Green Gables
Eilonwy, from The Prydain Chronicles
Eowyn, from Lord of the Rings
Imogen "Idgie", from Fried Green Tomatoes
Jane, from Jane Eyre
Josephine, from Little Women
Lyra, from His Dark Materials
Melanie, from Gone with the Wind
Scarlett, from Gone with the Wind
Viola, from Twelfth Night
or personal heroes/favorites, most of which would make for an easier name to carry:
Alice Walker, the author
Amelia Earhart, the aviator
Ani DiFranco, musician
Aretha Franklin, musician
Billie Holiday, musician
Blanche, my ancestor
Christine, my mother
Ella Fitzgerald, musician
Etta James, musician
Ida Forest, my ancestor
Janis Joplin, musician
Joni Mitchell, musician
Lucille Ball, the comedian
Maya Angelou, the author
Octavia Butler, the author
Shirley Jackson, the author
Tori Amos, musician
